ENGLISH THRUSHES TUNE UP
Songsters Are In Evidence Even Early

Throughout the Winter.

Thrushes in England are early sing
lers, and 1t is not unusual to hear a
thrush singing even in the first week
of February, says the Christian Science
Monitor. The gardens-and, Of course.
a thrush loves garden-are then
green, and moist, and very quiet and
already in full possession Of the robin,
very charming musiclan-a musician
that sings throughout the winter and
gains particular lGnrels In doing so.
This season the thrushes that in
habit the woods and hedges and re-
main during the winter have decided
ito break through tradition and sing
ms much and as early as they have
mind to. II seems that they, as well
as the robins, sing In December and
sing In full voice. Some one has heard
De Reszke in thicket, who begins
with the daybreak, and sings as glorl-

chrysanthemums coming in from

action in regard to the commence
ment and duration Of the musical sea-

state headquarters of the public SER
vice reserve Monday morning showed
that for the week ending last Satur-
day night the aggregate registration
of skilled workers throughout the
state was 1,673. AS Oregon's official
quota is 3,204, she has more than
passed the halfway mark. The indi-
cations, based on comments by the
various county chairmen who filed
their first week returns, are that the
enrolment will be considerably heav-
ier this week than it was last, largely
because of the fact that additional
enrolling agencies have been estab-
lished in several populous communi-
ties that were not reached last week.
Three counties of Oregon have al
ready topped their quota-Baker,
quota 96, registration 101; Clatsop,
quota 70, registration 1888, and
Crook, quota 10, registration 10.

counties heard from to date follows:
