How Famous Naturalist Got Closeup"
View Of Bird Remarkable for
Extreme Shyness.

A few years ago very great bird
lover succeeded in getting close to a
colony of Florida fiamingos in the mid
die of a swamp. He had queer
basketlike continuance made and COW
cred it with palmetto leaves. While
{he old birds were off feeding he
caused the device to be placed close
10 the breeding grounds and crawled
into it. In this way he succeeded in
obtaining much valuable information
concerning the birds.
He observed that when they came
dying home they came with great
rushing of wings and that the hum
dreds of them hurting along through
the air was the most marvellous spec
tacle that could be imagined. One
very interesting feature observed was
that each female bird went straight to
her nest and settled down to covering
her eggs without the slightest confu-
sion. The males ambled about as
though trying to show off their lovely
plumage, for the famingo is as vain as
a peacock 81 his scarlet jacket. Then

his mate seemed to be discussing the
weather with her.
When one of these great birds took
a nap he curled up his long neck like
a string with double knot tied in it
and laid it back between his shoulders.

100000 JEWS WILL CAST ZION-
IST VOTES JUNE 29

The Jewish communities in 352
cities in the United States, are max
ing preliminary arrangements tor a
national election day on June 10Th,
to choose delegates to the END an
nual convention of the Zionist Or
ganization of America. The con-
vention, at which at least 1850
delegates are expected, will be held
in Chicago, and though the date
has not yet been definitely fixed, it
will most likely be in session dur
ing an entire week including Labor
Day.
The voting will be at public poll
ing places, open all day to all who
have registered in advance, and it
is anticipated that this national
election will be a striking demon
stration that the majority Of adult
Jews of this country strongly favor
a Jewish Commonwealth in Pales-
tine. Over 10000 adult Jews in this
country are already registered for
the ensuing election, by virtue of
membership in the Zionist Organ
ization and a campaign has been
launched to bring this registration
up to at least quarter Of a million
each hundred registrants, or mem
bers of the organization, being en-
titled to elect one delegate. The
registrants will have to pay, each, at
least $100 which will apply to
membership dues. Plans have also
been perfected to enable registants
in towns where there are less than
so Jewish families to join with a
neighboring small community in the
election of a delegate.
Due in large measure to the for
tunes of war, the Zionist Organiza-
ton of America has gained con-
trolling influence in the world Zion
list organization, and the decisions of
the international Zionist Congress,
which is planned for early next year,
will be swayed by the resolutions
adopted by the American branch of
the movement. The voters will be
asked not only to choose delegates,
but to participate in referendum
regarding the progressive policy
adopted at the convention held in
