J tb Lew Miles Ground Interment Brown Creeper So Intent He Ignores Nearby Humans Constant and absolute con centration to small details is typical of the little brown bird, with the stiff tail fea thers and the long, down- curved bilT, that creeps up the trunks of forest trees. He may even be present at times on the trees in city backyards and parks, the so-called tree, or brown creeper. This bird becomes so dedi cated with the work at hand that it will absolutely ignore the curious human who may be standing within a few feet of the tree on which the bird is working. The creeper be gins at the base of the tree trunk, progresses upward by circling the trunk, and all the time peering with near-sighted intentness at the bark, looking into every crack and crevice, searching tor insects or in sect eggs on which it feeds. This little character never heard about the fact that there is "always room at the top,' for the moment it creeps up to the point where the branch es of the trunk begin, it im mediately forsakes its high position, flies down to the base of another tree and be gins the slow, circling climb all over again, right from the bottom. They're Hungry This meek little brown bird with the white markings, spends all his waking time working upward on tree trunks for just one specific purpose -to satisfy his appe tite. There are about a half doz en kinds of tree creepers in the United States. All of them are meek and tame little birds. Unlike the nuthatch that insists on being upside down on the tree trunk, the creepers . usually assume a more conventional position, creeping round and round the trunk, but constantly moving upward. These friendly little creat- tures seem to be always short on judgment and long on pe culiar traits. Due perhaps to their trusting nature, the bird will calmly creep up and up as if on a circular staircase, and remain perfectly obliv ious to the fact that someone may be within a few feet of it -someone or something that might easily destroy it. Where It Nests Neither does it show a shred of common sense in its selec tion of a nesting site -something it should be exceeding ly careful about, for it insists on building its nest behind a loose piece of tree bark on a Auto Helmets, Safely Bells To Reduce Fractures Miami Beach, Fla. -(Science Service)- Helmets may make auto drivers and passengers look like Buck Rogers, but coupled with seat belts, their use would practically elimi nate facial and brain frac tures in auto accidents. Auto accidents are the ma jor cause of facial fractures requiring plastic surgery, Dr. Reed O. Dingman of the Uni versity of Michigan Medical School, Ann Arbor, said here. Safety equipment would sig nificantly reduce these, he told colleagues at the meeting of the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive. Surgry here. He pointed out that the front passenger in a car is most likely to fracture the bones of the middle portion of his face-nose, cheekbones, or upper jaw as he is thrown forward in a crash against the instrument panel or the rear view mirror. On the other hand, the driver is more likely to injure his lower jaw. Internal Wiring To prevent deformity from developing in such an injured face, Dr. Dingman suggested that the surgeon align and fix the facial fractures by inter nal wiring as soon as possible. Otherwise, delayed treatment, poor healing or the occurrence of infection may cause a de fect which needs later cor rection by refracturing and re positioning of the bones, or by bone and cartilage grafts. Dr. Dingman said that al though a patient's own tissue was still the best material for facial reconstruction, bone and cartilage preserved in banks had been successfully used during the past five years. More effective meth ods of preservation and ster ilization of human tissue, in cluding the use of cobalt as a sterilizer, are now being em ployed at University Hospital, Ann Arbor, he said. Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M. Watkins tree that is rapidly falling apart. The more-dilapidated the tree, or how early its age will cause it to fall apart, seems to be what the bird looks for in a location. Given a preference, the creeper will select a sheet of loose bark that is hanging on a balsam tree. If trees of this kind are not available the bird will search until it finds another bark flap on any old tree, and there it will construct its nest. It would seem that Fate, or whatever it is that directs the destiny of birds, would make some sort of favorable allowances for those whose trusting nature .- or lack of judgment or extreme friend liness - prompts them to risk disaster or total destruction in a precarious position.
