times known as rain crow, because it's
very characteristic notes are supposed
to foretell rain. The cuckoo has sly,
furtive ways as 1t moves among the
bushes or fits from tree to tree, and
Is much more often heard than seen.
Unlike It's European relative. 1t does
not lay its eggs in other birds nests,
but builds a nest of its own. This is,
however, rather crude and shabby
affair-hardly more than a platform
of twigs sufficient to hold the green
ish eggs, The cuckoo Is extremely
useful because OF its insectivorous hab-
its, especially as 1t shows a marked
preference for the hairy caterpillars,
which few birds eat. One stomach
that was examined contained $50
American tent caterpillars; another,
PIT fall webworms. In places where
tent caterpillars are abundant they
seem to constitute large portion OF
the food of this and the black-billed
cuckoo.

there is little ground for the accusa-
ton, as appears from the fact that
examination of GA stomachs showed
only 61 bees in % stomachs. OF these
81 were useless drones. On the other
hand, it devours robber flies, which
catch and destroy honeybees. Grass
hoppers and crickets, with a few bugs
and some cutworms, and a few other
insects. make up the rest of the ami.

sists of fruit and few seeds. The
kingbird deserves full protection.

What Would Hughes Have Done2

When the New York Tribune, in
the heat If its zeal for the nomi-
nation of Roosevelt. injected into
the pre-convention discussion a
significant query it started some
thing. 1t pertinently asked
In what respect would Mr..
Hughes have acted other than the
president did?
What would he have done that
the president has not done?
At what point. and in what
manner. would he have changed
the presidents record?
Nobody has answered that query
yet, and the silence gets more EN-
barrassing from day to day.
What would Mr. Hughes have
done with regard to the slaughter
Of Americans by submarines?
What would he have done with
regard to shipments of munitions?
What would he have done with
respect to warning Americans of
the high seas, where they have a
right under international law to On
with assurance of safety?
Mr. Hughes will never geC
through this campaign without
answering these questions They

relate to things about which the
voting Americans would like to
know.
Would he have allowed
Americans to be destroyed, contrary
to international law and the laws
OF humanity, while traversins the
seas on ocean liners?
Would he have restrained
American citizens from going
abroad in pursuit of their affairs?
Would he have put AN end to
the shipment Of munitions to the
beligerents?
Until he discloses what he would
have done in respect to these
policies he is in position to criticise
anybody.
1t is unreasonable to expect that
the New York Tribune will be as
curious about these matters after
the Chicago episode as it was
before

Of his, consistently support Hughes

1t was little Bertha Brown who
threw the rose, and the childish act
brought about an acquaintanceship
with Mrs. Palmer that, as the years
passed by, ripened into the warmest
friendship. Mrs. Palmer's hobby was
ideal motherhood" and she i'm
pressed these ideas upon the mind OF
her girl companion.
Finally the little girl moved from
Detroit. to Chicago and later was mar
ried to Clarence S. Boothby. In time
Thomas and Evelyn Boothby were
born, and to her babies Mrs. Boothby
applied the ideal motherhood" teach
ings she had learned from Mrs. Pal

Relief Work Blocked.

Washington. Aug. 12.-The uncom-
promising attitude of European bel
ligerents in the negotiations thru
which the United States had hoped
to extend relief work in the war zone
is causing keen disappointment among
officials here. Three new notes were
before the state department today but
none opened new avenue to furnish
relief.
Great Britain and Austria have
again declared in vigorous terms
their unwillingness to recede from the
regulations which have operated to
exclude American relief supplies from
Poland and Serbia.
Turkey, in a note refusing to per-
NIT a neutral commission to under
take to feed and clothe war suffer-
ers in Syria. apparently has endeavor-
ed to forestall any further humani-
tartan efforts in that quarter.
