Albanian Thinks
Humans Can Learn
Lessons From Pigeons

Atlanta, Sept. 13.-Georgians
who used to travel all the way to
Venice TO see the wonderful
pigeons on the piazza in front of
St. Marks need no longer leave
the confines of their native state to
see equally numerous and re-
markable birds.
The awakening of interest in
pigeons all over the country in
connection with the national hon.
ing pigeon races at Washington,
has called public attention to the
fact that Georgian owns the
finest collection of pigeons in the
whole south.
Forrest Adair has a wonderful
f1ock of various kinds of pigeons
at his beautiful home in Druid
Hills, and says he takes more ioy
from watching them than he does
IN baseball, automobling or any
OF the other usual PLEASURES in
which the tired business man finds
relaxation. His flock of 200 or
more birds is one of the attractive
features of the section in which be
lives, and hundreds of visitors
come to inspect them.
Mr.. Adair laughingly holds up
the behavior of the pigeons as a
model for poor frail human beings.
He says that in family life. the
pigeon is paragon of virtue.
There are no domectic difficult
ties and no divorces in pigeon-land
he declares, ''and the male bird
doesn't mind helping hatch out
and take care of the children.
There will never be any suffra-
gettes or militants among the
pigeons. They are all happy"
