CORMORANTS FISH
WITH THEIR WINGS

Habits OF the cormorant and or our
naive fish hawk are generally known.
Their methods OF taking fish are very
much like those OF birds OF prey But
the cassowary fishes according TO a
method OF its own. A we'll known
naturalist Witnessed it's operations on
a river In the island of New Britain,
He saw a cassowary come down TO
the waters edge and stand for some
minutes apparently watching the wa.
ter carefully. IL then stepped into the
river where IL was about three feet
deep, and partially squatted down,
spread its wings out, submerging
them, the feather being spread and
ruffled
The bird remained motionless, and
kept its eyes closed as II in sleep. II
ter of al hour, when suddenly clos
ing its wings and Strengthening It's
feathers il stepped out on the bank.
Here IL shook itself several times,
whereupon a quantity OF small fishes
fell out OF its wings and from amid
It's feathers. These the bird immedi'
ately picked up and swallowed.
The fishes had evidently mistaken
the feathers for a kind OF weed that
grows in the water along the banks
OF the river In this island and which
much resemble the feathers OF the
cassowary. The smaller fishes hide In
these weeds to avoid the larger ones
that prey on them.-St. Paul Pioneer

LABOR Commission IN
Session here THURSDAY

In the last several weeks Child
Labor Inspector Gibbons has receiv-
ed many phone calls describing vio-
lations Of the laws from people who
refuse to reveal their names. In all
cases the inspector is glad to look
into the matter with a view OF elimi-
mating the cause, but hereafter he de-
sires it understood that no attention
will be paid TO complaints received
from persons refusing to reveal their
names.
From an investigation the inspec-
tor also finds that many extensive
plans are being laid by school boys
desirous of working during their
summer vacation from school It
must be remembered that all boys
desiring to work, whether during
school vacation or any time. must
procure an employment certificate
along with the doctors certificate
and school record After school
closes for the summer session il will
be impossible for the children to get
their school record. For this rea-
son the inspector urges the children.
as well as their parents, to get this
matter straightencd out before it is
100 late Should children accent
employment without a certificate they
viii be violating the child labor laws.
The Delaware State Child Labor
Commission will hold its scmi-annual
meeting on Thursday afternoon At
this time the inspector will submit
his regular report on the progress
made during the past six months.
