tlons, notes one of the shortest parlia-
mentary speeches on record. Leon

speech, and. rising in his place with a
very bald head, known too as he was

began with great affectation OF mex

useless. The house would not listen,
and he never assayed to speak again. .

more properly Bird AIussc.'
The evening was opened by two
brlliSanG solos by Miss Gerard
The lecturer was introduced By
Mrs. Graham Thompson, pres Idant OF
the Palmetto club. as an authority on
bird lzfe, and from whom the audi
ence might expect both pleasure aud
proft, Mr.. oldys spoke Of Mos,
quito reservation as having the greet
est possibilities of any of the 90
government preserves as a place OF
protection for bird life and an at
traction for Daytona
The lecturer made the statement
that many birds are musicians in
the proper sense of that term, and
with great accuracy and c,eve.ness
he reproduced the songs Of more
than dozen birds. and gave the
/ bird varieties in many of these. lie
explained he was not doing this as
a bird imitator but by way OF .Ilus
trating the subject matter.
He spoke beautifully of the early
mornsng concert, which OF course
would necessitate early rising, bT
was wea worth the price OF admis
sion, as at this time more than any
other the listener could pick oJ

pany.
The birds mentioned AID initiate,
were the American robin, which n,
said was not a robin but a thrush
