time he placed the board which held
the cakes upon two barrels and
mounted guard at some little distance
to keep the jays away. They re-
turned to their feast in few minutes,
and the angered soap maker, who
was only few yards distant, threw
a cobble stone at them. The jays fed,
but the heavy stone, striking one end
of the board, turned it over and

The foreigner doesn't take kindly
to the ways of the American bluejay.
AS has been said. bluejays are thick
in the suburbs of Highland Park. An
Englishman living in the place had
some gooseberry bushes. which bore
berries of extraordinary size and
sweetness. The owner of the fruit de-
clared that the bluejays ate his treas
ures. and securing his shotgun he de-
stroyed several of the birds. The law
in Illinois protects the bluejay. but
there is section of the statute which
gives the right to kill birds which are
preying on the crops. Friends Of the
bluejays said that the birds wouldn't
eat gooseberries, and there was a

Then the father robin coaxed them
out. They followed him to lawn d.
rectly across the street, and there he
fed them and gave them lessons in
flying.
The difference between the male
and female adult robin is marked
enough to make confusion of the sex
in the observers eye impossible. The
father and mother of that brood d.
vided their duties. Mr.. Robin stayed
with the two young which left the
nest first, while Mrs. Robin attended
to the nestlings left behind. These
three stayed In the nest for two days
after the departure of their stronger
brothers. During that time the father
did not visit the nest. nor did the
mother make any attempt to feed the
young which were in the fathers care
When the three little ones finally
gained strength enough to leave the
home they flew to the same lawn to
which the others had gone. watched
the family closely for a week. and the
division of duty was maintained by
the parent birds. The father fed the
two lusty youngsters, while the mother
looked after the three weaklings.
The father had much the easier
task, but the mother made no com

manlike in the way in which that
male robin portioned out the work,
and something womanlike in the pa

When it comes to question of in

These birds have practically an ex-
haustless vocabulary and their charac-

much.

1t Is hard to determine Just how
much damage the bluejay does by

Guilty in determining the damage
arises from the fact that the jay is

From the standpoint of amusement
there is more fun in watching a blue

of Chicago made some soap for home
consumption. He patted it nicely into
cakes and placed them on a board in
the yard to harden. The suburb-it
is called Highland Parks about as
full of bluejaws as 1t can be and still
leave room for other bird families
When the German put his soap out all
the bluejays of the neighborhood de-
scended upon 1t. They ate soap for
an hour.
The wonder is they Gid not die, but
the diet did not seem to interfere
with their digestion In the least.
