then, if any director has wanted

Birds and orientation.

Professor X. S. Lashley has COM
pleted an investigation of the sense of
direction in birds. This is called the
problem of ''orientation." DR.. Lashley
used the wild birds of the Florida keys
known as noddy and sooty terms in ex-
periments. In their recognition of their
nests it was found that their eyes as
well as their muscles are concerned.
The birds showed no evidence of any
special sense of locality. such as a
magnetic sense" or a second sight"
Birds are no more mind readers than
men are. Nor do they have any ability
to retrace their paths of fight by
memory. They recognize their nests
and their own young by muscle habits
and eyesight.

BAR HARBOR. Me-, August 31-The
federal war risk insurance bill de-
signed to provide for the dependents
of American soldiers and sailors, now
pending in Congress. was heartily in
dorsed in a statement issued here today
by Jacob H. Schiff, the New York finan-
cier Mr. Schiff said he was of the
opinion that hardly any legislative
measure now before Congress deserves
greater support than the war risk in
surance bill.
IF we wish our men to go forward
without having constantly on their
minds the worry which the question of
the provision for those they have left
behind in event of their own death or
disability must bring" Mr.. Schiff said,
the least we can do is to offer our
soldiers and sailors an opportunity for
insurance such as is provided in the
pending measure. 1t is better that we
should be, as is claimed by some, too
generous than the reverse. There can
be but little doubt that the American
people will willingly approve of the
possible burden which the pending bill
may lay open to them"
