contrary, the tiny chicks the mother
quail is leading in August and Sep
tember are in her first and only bevy.
When Mr.. J. J. Dodds, the fascinating
New London writer ON sports afie1d,
lately referred to the June bevies of
young quail, he must have been
dreaming OF his own earlier nesting
English partridge. While picking straw
berries, the third week in July this
season, on the slopes of Woodstock
Academy hill, I saw five mating fe-
male quail, and the males We're calling
on every hand. In fifty years afield in
never found or had reported quaifs
heard of hundred July nests. The
quaiIs eggs, taken into the Storrs ex-
perimental station, which Matched on
the first day of August, about the av-
erage time. Few bevies of young quail
were big enough to kill at the end of
the old close season, but the new law
giving them more time in the har-
vested grain fields will bring heavier
birds to the scatter gun. I've just
one well substantiated record of d
second bevy of baby Bobs in Col
chester, and I saw them October 10th,
no bigger than least fly catchers. My
only other double record was in Wood
stock, where a female in a. corner lot,
in almost daily surveillance of MIR.
Irving Paine, left her half grown
chicks and raised second bevy of
October quail.

later breaking two eggs with the horse

for two days. calling, when crows ate
this set also. A divining road seems
to be held by Mrs. Rawson over the re-
treats of young game birds. On the
18th of August she saw mother Hun
garian helping her bevy over a wall,
later surprised the whole bevy at close
quarters, and when again flushing
them at short range. the air seemed
full of the flying brown bullets. Not
once did the female fly, but steadily
called and kept up the characteristic
twitching of the slightly erect and

Mr.. PLANTS GENEROUS OFFER.

Would that Connecticut had more
such men as Morton f. Plant-not
because of his wealth, but because of
his splendid public spirit. The re-
newal of his offer to pay one half of
the cost of building some 100000
worth of Elacadam highway in the
vicinity of New London is most gen.
erous, and in view of the fact that
it was made directly to Highway
Commissioner Macdonald, while the
two were on the site of the proposed
highway. we look to see the commits
sioner take advantage of the offer,
providing the proposed road is so To-
Gated that it will be a state road
that will serve public rather than pri-
vate interests and providing the offer
can be accepted within the law. Judg :
ing from a news account, the section
which Mr.. Plant desires to have i'm
proved is THE worst between New
London and New Haven" and 1.-The
only piece that is not ma cadamized
and in fine shape If the situation
is all that the news account makes IT
appear, the offer of Mr. Plant is a
doubly desirable one for the state to
accept. In fact. it is a kind of gen
crosby which is becoming increasing

Public spirited citizens are a blessing
TO the town and the state in which
they live. Mr.. Plant is second to no
man in the state when it comes to do
ing generous acts in behalf of the pub

law under which he can accept do
nation for specific public purpose
from 81 private individual If a way
can be found to accept this proposition
legally, there is no question as to the
state highway commissioners willing
ness to enter upon the work with des-
patch. Commissioner Macdonald neith-
er takes license nor gives license, and
it is this sturdy quality which exeites
the wrath of many people against him.
A public official who has inaugurated a
good road system like this in Connect
cut, and disbursed the funds honestly
for fifteen years has a record to be
proud of, whether the governor cares
to continue his services or not.

A trio of calico robins were on the

stock this season, and l think notes en-

harlequin robin from the hat of a

albinism is conlmonest with birds

 Ths celebrated play, which is stage version of stories by George Randolph Chester. and originally pub lished in the Saturday Evening Post, is oae of the most fascinating come dies that American playgoers have enjoyed in many seasons. II has ire quently been termed a racy satire on American commericalism. but the word racy is not used in it's accepted synonym form, but rather to describe the eelerity of the action of the Cohen comedy which moves along throug it's four acts with the rapidity of rapid firing field piece and to the accompa- nimeat of an absolute avalanche Of laughter.
