MATERIALS IN BIRDS NESTS
Feather Folk Use Greater Variety of
Things in Building Homes Than
is Supposed.

Perhaps when you have said that
birds nests are made of leaves, twigs
grass, string moss, feathers, hair or
mud you think you have exhausted the
list of building materials used by the
feathered folk. But to examine even
one nest carefully viii prove that your
list is by no means complete.
For example, a nest of gray vireo
was found to be fastened to the
Dough of the tree by means of strips
of inner bark, of spider and cocoon
silk, and of milkweed stalk. The body
Of the nest yielded the following in
ventory White and yellow birch
bark, cObwebs, blue bottle fly, spider
egg silk tufts, slender roots, bits of
pith, leaf skeletons from which all but
the ribs and veins had been cut away,
pine needles, old cocoOns of the tus-
sock moth, grass, caterpillar hairs,
dandeliOn seeds, moss and feathers. At
the bottom of the nest, where great
strength was needed, was a piece of
gray paper from the nest of the paper
making hornets, and interviewer with
all these were bits of newspaper.
Other vireo nests have yielded as
many as a hundred black spiny cater
pillar skins, a half yard of lace edg-
ing, and even small snake skins.

ONE DAYS SHOPPING IN 1917

written for the Times)
1 went into a butchers shop
couple of days ago
To buy a little piece of beef
A dozen pounds or so;
But when the butcher named the price
1t filled my heart with woe,
l felt like he had handed me
A solar-plexus blow.
Said l, My order, it is plain
You did not understand
l had no wish to buy your shop
And all the stock on hand
I'm but a stranger in your town
Came over from the coast,
And all l wish to purchase, was
A piece of beef to roast
The butcher then explained to me
The way the thing was done;
The war had started prices up
And kept em on the run
Said l, III take about a pound
OF kippered oxen-breath,
And save me six or seven squeals
Next pig you put to death"
/ stepped into dry goods store
To price a pair of pants;
The clerk he looked me up and down
And took a gamblers chance;
Near knocked me off my feet
l lost my breath my heart it quit,
1 couldn't feel it beat
He told me that the German war
Was what we had to blame;
The war had put the prices up
1t really was a shame
Said 1, MY friend, if you desire
To sell those pants today
I'll rive Won half Of what Won ask
And take 'em right away"
y went into another store
To buy a pair of socks,
And also quiet my nerves that ached
From those two previous shocks;
A lady clerk informed me, how
The submarines had sunk
Three shiploads of the finest socks
And various other junk.
/ gazed upon her dainty mouth
And marveled how't could be.
A pretty little girl like her
Could fib so fast to me;
Spell bound, she held me till 1 fell
And so in course of time,
l let her wrap me up some hose
And sting me for dime.
Then fast across the street / sped
Into a grocer's store,
To get some articles of food
Ere prices rose some more;
Now beans are worth a cent apiece
AS true as I'm alive
Because I bought a quarters worth
And got but twenty-five.
The war has raised the tin can stuff
Five cents on every can,
And flour's so high, it can't be bought
BY any common man;
/ found the price of 'taters had
Gone up beyond control
couldn't even touch it with
A ten foot fishing pole.
1 visited a coal yard with
A feeling if despair;
The dealer sized me up to be
A multi-millionaire,
THE war is putting prices up
q heard him gently say),
Tomorrow they may raise some moro
- You better buy, today"

In the motor truck as in the railroad train,
the steamship or the airplane, the great
need is speed.
Yet speed in the motor truck necessarily
has been sacrificed under the handicap of
that arch-enemy to endurance vibration.
Such vibration primarily is caused by i'm
perfect cushioning between the vehicle
and the road.
We know with the certainty of long and
intensive experience that the only element
affording perfect cushioning is air.
