Fay THICKER

Fay Tincher, who is to play the
role OF Dulcinea, the "slavey" In
the big Triangle production of
Don Quixote," was born in To-
peka, Kan, on All Fools Day.
This conjunction of the stars
could hardly fail to produce a
maker. Taken to Chicago at an
early age by her parents, Miss
Tincher first developed her dram
attic instincts in the Ziegfeld Mus
ical college. At the second term
she left school to enter Sayage's
"Sho-Gun" production.

Two seasons later Miss Tinchey
toured the British isles and the
continent with her sisters, whom
she delighted by mimicking the
many amusing types that they
met.
Her first appearance in the
pictures was as Cleo in THE Bat
tie of the Sexes" produced by ID.
w. Griffith. Then came her en-
try into comic roles. Her imper-
sonation of the "office girl" of
the films is famous. She has a
remarkable gift for grotesque-

Can a woodpecker get drunk?

Can a wOOdpecker get drunk?
This is the question over which sci
entists. philosophers. psychologists.
and just plain naturalists are debating
now. The consensus of opinion seems
TO be that not only can the woodpecker
get ''soused" in a most disgraceful
manner, but that robins are also sub
ject to accute alcoholism.
The way in which it all came about
was this: Burgess Johnson. while in
the Maine woods last summer. saw. or
thought he saw, some members OF the
genus melanerpes erythrocephalus ina
condition known to students as half
shot" But before he put a permanent
libel on the supposed good character
of the birds he determined TO give
them fair chance before an impair
tial jury
He wrote an article. which was
printed in popular magazine, in
which he described the symptoms of
the woodpecker and asked if anyone
else had ever observed such a thing.
The replies began to come in from all
over the country, and the robin, here
tofore only an innocent bystander. was
introduced TO turn states evidence.
Ernest Thompson Seton, who has
gained considerable fame and more no
toriety in telling the birds from the
flowers, replied that the thing was un-
heard of, and that the birds would not
so far forget their high position as to
get Tit"
1T is an absurd fable" was the way
he characterized the report. and with
this vindication OF the birds character
he retired from the controversy But
John Burroughs, the veteran Califor-
mia naturalist. was not so easily to be
bluffed He thought it was quite pos
sible that the woodpoc'ler might get
drunk on the formented sap OF trees, or
on certain kinds of berries, and he
said so openly.
To back this up Frank II. Baynes.
another naturalist said that the So
briefly of the birds was not al eli be
yond question; that it was NOT only i'm
possible. but quite probable, that they
might get drunk
All concerned thought that it might
be q good thing to have the opinion Of
a psychologist in the matter, so they
wrote to DR. John B. watson, who is
professor OF psychology at Johns Hop
kins University Baltimore. as to what
ne thought Of the matter, lie answer
ed that he WAS ignorant rs TO the tenn
Derance habis,of lack or them, in wood
peckers. but that he had seen robins
lin an extremely loggy' condition
from eating ripe berries of the blue
gum tree in Southern States.
So there seems to be a three-to-one
assent to the lack Of temperance habits
in birds. Since this stigma has been
6xed upon the members of the ornitho-
logical species they will probably be
even more closely studied in the future
to see what other signs of depravity
they exhibit And the supporters OF

RESTS
IN M|LSTEAD CASE

The fate OF Mrs. Irene Milstead.
undergoing trial for the second tlne
this year for the murder Of her
husband, Robert Z. Miistead. in
Criminal Division No. /. of the Dis
trict Supreme Court. will be in the
hands OF the jury by tomorrow. This
was the opinion expressed by law
yers on both sides of the case this
afternoon.
The prosecution rested its case
shortly before the noon recess. Elev-
en-year-old Alma Milsoead. a niece
of the victim. was among the last
witnesses called by the Government.
She testified that she had visited
her aunt and uncle's home on divers
occasions and that she had once
heard her aunt say that -he had some
one watching her husband.
Most of the afternoon session Is being
taken up in the hearing of character
witnesses. Mrs. Milstead Is expected to
take the stand in her own behalf tomor-
row. Because she and her husband were
alone in their home when the tragedy
occurred, the defendant herself Is the
only witness, outside of the character
witnesses, who will be called by the de-
fense.

Mexico, has been reported to General
Pershing. was a classmate Of Capt.
Horace Hobbs. Seventeenth Infantry,
who will muster the District militia into

Captain Hobbs. who has been closely
watching for news concerning the fate
Of Captain Boyd, expressed sincere re-

He was a fine fellow and a splendid
soldier" said Captain Hobbs. He was
energetic, capable. companionable and
every inch a soldier. The army has lost
a good man and I have lost good
friend by his DEATH
Captain Hobbs and Captain Boyd sat
near other at the Army School of the
Line at Leavenworth, Kansas, from
1911 to 1912. While there Captain BOYD
wrote a book consisting OF a compila-
tion OF tactical problems and criticisms
OF the commanders given the problems
to- solve. The book had wide circula-
tion and ls priced highly for its mill
tary value.
Upon leaving the Army School OF the
Line Captain Boyd went to Fort Ethan
Allen and took command OF his cavalry
troop.
