Kennell-EUis. 9 Magpie Talk Complicates Home Life Of 'Blackie' Recent interest in magpies and magpie traps brought unexpect ed complications to the life of "Blackie," pet magpie belonging to Mr. and Mrs. W. N. Carothers of 2150 White. The Carothers became alarmed about the safety of their pet when a young boy in their neigh borhood told them he intended to shoot the bird because he is a menace to other smaller birds. They have had calls from a num ber of people interested in "Blackie's welfare because they were afraid something might happen to him. "Blackie" is well-known in his neighborhood since the Caro thers found him with his leg hurt a year ago. They kept him until he got well, and when they tried to turn him loose he refused to go.; Although he has never been caged he has remained with them. , The principle concern over magpies to farmers and sports men is that they kill young game fowl and rob nests. Quail and pheasant are their favorite prey. Blackie however, hasn t had i occasion to harm wild game be-1 cause ' he never strays far from j home. The Carothers have a number of small birds, including 52 pet canaries, and "Blackie" has never harmed them. Adding to the personality of their pet is the fact that he has learned to talk, but he hasn't had his tongue split according to the popular belief. According to Mrs. Carothers, "Blackie" has two bad habits. He loves to hide things and to whistle at pretty girls. Mrs. Caro thers doesn't know where he picked up the "wolf whistle," and worse yet, she doesn't know how to keep him from doing it. Approximately five per cent of the crude oil refined in the United States is made into kerosene.
