Birds Of Queer Traits

Of course everybody has heard of
the cuckoo-the original of the little
wooden bird which sticks its head
out of Swiss clocks and calls "Cuc-
koo, cuckoo!" as the hour comes
round. Nearly everybody, too. has
heard of it's curious habit of laying
it's eggs in other birds nests, where
they are Matched out in due time and
at once proceed to shove their fos-
ter-brothers and sisters out of the
nest, and then grow fat on the pro-
vender gathered for the entire nest
full. In this country, however, no
one has ever seen this done, for the
simple reason that the American
cuckoo has not learned this splendid
scheme of making other people dis
charge his family duties for him, that
practice being an exclusive privilege
of his European brother. While the
American cuckoos do not confide the
care of their offspring entirely to
strangers, they do las good many
humans do) make the eldest of their
flock play nurse to the younger ones.
The hen cuckoo lays her eggs a week
or more apart; as soon as the first is
Matched, the parent birds begin to
feed it most assiduously. Before the
second egg is Matched, as it is week
later, the first birding is almost
large enough TO cover the remaining
eggs and aid in keeping them warm
and Matching them. Each youngster
is expected to help to mother the
next conner until the nest is full.
Then the oldest is coolly showed out
by the parents, and told to shift for
himself. Thus, instead of spending
hours upon the nest, Mrs. Cuckoo is
able to be off with her friends. The
whole cuckoo tribe seem TO possess
queer traits. In South America there
is another species which differs both
from the European and the North
American in everything except It's ue-
sire to shirk as much of its duties as
I may be possible. This species man
ages this by adopting a community
plan of raising its offspring. Inste" d
of each pair building a nest, one is
built by three or four rairs workin G
together. Nests have been found
with as many as twenty eggs in
| them, on which no less than five hen
| birds took turns in sitting.

ELECTRIC LIGHT SERVICE
VERY UNSATISFACTORY
Consumers Have Been Assured For
Months That Service Would Be
Improved, But 1t Gets Worse-Cut
Off Three Times Yesterday.

During the past lew weeks there
have been a great many complaints
over the service given the public of
this city by the Cambridge Gas, E1ec-
trio Light & Power Co. The current
has been, at times, very irregular, of
poor lighting quality, while the SER
vice has also been irregular, in as
much as at times the current, with
out previous notice, has been shut
off entirely. These complaints have
peen met with positive assurances
from the local management that
these defects in the service would be
speedily remedied, and that there
soon as certain improvements, then
under way, were completed.
This situation has, however, con-
tinued for weeks; there is now, and
has been, no improvement. The con-
sumers in Cambridge have been ia
ken off of the local plant, which gave
satisfactory service, and placed upon
the Laurel plant, which does not give
proper or satisfactory service. At
night the lights become dim and af-
ter remaining so for a short time,
will suddenly flash up to brilliancy
that makes the light of a few Sec
onds before seem like a single can
die; this condition will remain a
short time, then the current seems to
lose it's power and the old dimness
returns.
Yesterday the current was off
three times, once in the morning, a
few minutes before eleven O'Clock;
again at noon, and last night, at half
past ten o'clock. Last night shortly
after ten o'clock the current began
to lose its power. and the electric
hi ! a Of ' iIIumi.
failing light; this condition continu-
ed for a few moments, and the
lights went out altogether, remain
ing out about three-quarters of an
hour.
Merchants were compelled to sus-
pend business, as it was impossible
to do business without lights; clubs
were compelled to close down, prac-
tically all public places found it
necessary to close on account of
darkness, while in many homes, the
occupants were left in pitch dark
ness, unless candles or lamps could
be hurriedly secured.
There is another complaint, name
ly, that despite the poor service. the
bills have been constantly mounting
higher and higher. Merchants, who
claim that they burn their lights
practically the same number of hours
a month, business men generally,
and housekeepers, have the same
complaint.
1t seems probable that the only
thing to do will be for the public to
get together and take the matter be-
fore the Public Service Commission,
asking it to send experienced men
here, without the knowledge of the
company, to test the voltage of the
electric light current, remaining sew
eral days for that purpose. and also
to test the quality Of the gas.

The present war has brought about
many changes, and none more notable
than the shortage of men and women
in the business and professional
world. The United States has pledged
a million men to the cause, and these
will leave a million vacancies in every
walk of life. 1t is doubtful if the Am
erican people realize. except perhaps
in a vague way. the effect this change
will have on the commercial world.
Europe also has lost millions of men
and after the war these countries will
be calling for mechanics and clerical
help from this country. 1t is the pa
triotic duty of every American citizen
to do everything possible to assist de-
serving young men and women to fit
themselves for one of these positions.

Superintendent of Schools Chapman Invites Parents and Others to Hear About Boys and Girls Club Work

| Superjntendent of Schools John l.. Chapman has sent out the following invitation:
 J. Brundage, at the high school Thurs day evening, March 18th, at 7.0 o'clock.
 Are YOU interested in the boys and girls club work which is being done so extensively throughout the sta1e? You know we had home garden clubs last | year and that they made successful beginning, bJa did not do more. than a small percentage of what might have been accomplished had we been sabie to secure local leader.
 1 In view of the uncertainty of the food supply for the coming year. and the exorbitant prices we have to pay, should be encouraged to do gardening and canning. In communities where; there is no available land for each in dividual it may be possible to obtain land outside the village which the club
 members may use, fora garden center in order to provide. vegeta bles for the summer and winter use. A local leader is the most important: factor in successful club work. Boys and girls may be greatly interested. carefully prepared instructions and follow-up work may be- employed but if the community is not sufficiently in terested to supply a. local leader cub work will not be successful The local leader should ,have nat ural liking for boys and girls, and. have no greater joy than seeing tnem develop through their directed tasks The paid local leader is generally the most satisfactory having no other in terests demanding greater attention. Many public spirited citizens have. however, done as efficient work as a paid leader could be expected to do, and where paid leadership is impossi- ble, volunteer local leaders have some times been found.
 The paid local leader, however, in- sures success, and in many places in the state this year organizations such , as boards of trade, school boards and
 women's clubs are raising funds to
 provide local leaders for the club
 work.
 In willimantic the women's club is going to raise $500 for local leader
 this year. In Putnam. Danielson and
 many other places plans are being
 made to carry on the work Will you by your interest and help
 aid in establishing and carrying on the this year? If you are interested, meet with the state leader of club work,

 looking ever tlls equipment of the lo-
 cal company in regard to their being taken into the federal service. This matter of equipment was gone over at
 the tii.ie the men were paid off after their return from the border, but it was found necessary to go over the whole matter again.
