Fox Charms Forest
Birds to heir Death

According to story from Stage
vile, N. c., the snake is not the only
thing that can charm birds and lure
them to their destruction.
About two years ago the Fin and
Feather club leased Bear Maintain
for a preserve and stocked it with
grouse. The members expected the
grouse to propagate and furnish good
hunting ground later, but very few
birds were found this spring.
The members could not under
stand this until a few days ago when
Fletcher Johnson, who was explor-
ing the mountain, came in with a
story of having seen two foxes run
ming round and round tree in which
grouse was perched. The bird
seemed fascinated with the foxes an
ties and kept turning to watch the
ANNALS 1i1 until 1t apparently became
dizzy and fell to the ground. Where's

Flying Boat to DeIiverLat
Mail to the AdriatiC at Sea

An interesting experiment is TO De
tried out at the next outwardbound
sailing Of the White Star liner Ad-
Ratio, when a pouch of mail will be
delivered to the ship at sea, by a
flying boat. This was decided upon
at a meeting of Postmaster Patten,
Daniel F.. Jordan, assistant superin-
tendent Of mails; David Lindsay, of
the White Star line and E. B. New
man and C. j. Zimmerman, of the
eromarine Plane and Motor cor
poration. which firm is to supply
the flying boat.
The mail bag will be dropped into
the sea to one side of the liner;
attached to bag will be a light but
strong line, on the other end OF
which will be wooden float. AS
the flying boat passes over the yes.
sci. the mail bag will be dropped
into the sea- the line will drag across
the deck of the liner and the wood
en- float will be dropped on the other
side. In this way the bag can be
drawn aboard the ship without delay
to either the liner or the flying
boat.
The experiment will be watched
with keen interest.

Millions of Dollars
Stolen From EX-SoLdierS

Officers of the United States army
are becoming more and more concern
ed about the situation caused by
thousands of discharged soldiers
reaching home practically penniless
despite the fact that when they were
mustered out they had from SIS to
$500 in their pockets. While the
subject is not being officially dis
cussed the problem is receiving SER
ious thought, as it is realized that
the situation makes for discomfort
and anger. At Camp Dix Wrights-
toun. N. j., various remedies have
been suggested.
Those who have tried to make
an investigation of the situation be-
lieve soldiers between the time of
their discharge and when they reach
their homes, especially if their jour-
ney leads them through some of the
several million dollars by harpies
crooks. swindlers and others who
operate in gangs to prey upon the
former soldiers joy at once more
stepping into the freedom of the
civilian realm. Very few soldiers
leave the discharge center with any
other idea than hurrying home. But
the gangs operating in several cities
spread their nets so cleverly that
many home-bound soldiers fall there
in and their pockets are emptied by
experts at the game in such a man
ner that the victim has little come
back.

Would Abolish Script
Writinn for PRINTING

A movement has ben started
in England to abolish the pres
ent form of script writing and
to use instead printed writing.
Advocates of the printing say
that the script form fails to
stand the test of commercial life
and causes great loss of time
and labor.
Those in favor of the change
propose to use the ordinary
printed letters known as the
Roman block letters, with the
exception of the "a and "g"
which would be simplified in their
script forms.
The movement is influentially
supported.
