France Turns to America.


One Of the most encouraging develop

tween France and America has passed
almost without notice. There has been

illness OF Frenchmen toward Americans,
and the indications point to the grad

standings which. uuhappilv. led to the
lowering of American prestige with the
end OF the war and the beginning %
the armistice. French public opinion Is
swinging toward the United States once
more as the people of France. with

to realize. as they did when America
entered the war against Germany, that

The Cormorant
BY j. ID. Gillian

What can 0utswim fish? What
can catch fish, permit It to escape
and catch 1t again in the water? One
would think a person or animal of
unusually quick action would be nec-
essary for such agility.
i know bird that can do that fine
piece of work and seem to enjoy it..
You have seen cat teasing a living
mouse by letting it go for few steps
only to catch it again before it gets
out OF her reach. have seen coy
otes do the same trick with chick
ems; have observed them from some
point unseen to them playing with
the hens, toss and catch them in the
merriest sort Of sport. 1t is said
tigers and lions do the same with
their prey. Possibly others may also
play such pranks with helpless
| captives.
| The cormorant does that with it's
catch, and it is bird. 1t has a long
hooked bill, webbed feet and quite
long neck; it's habitat is the wafer
and its habitation is China, Australia
and North America, altho l never
saw the American or the Australian
species.
In China have witnessed their
actions both in captivity and in their
native wild haunts. 1t was once ON
the tossing and very turbulent Min
river in southern China, where saw
the nimble fisher dive for her prey
and on returning to the surface of
the water play with the captured fish
Just as cat does with a mouse 1t
would toss 1t into the air, let it es-
cape into the water and then dive for
1T to retrieve the Inflated creature.
Along the smaller tributaries of
the lower Yang-tse and in the canals
that form such a network system all
along the plains of the Shanghai
region one can see here and there
the fisherman working his trained
cormorants. He has rude sort of
raft-like boat; on this he has dozen
or so cOrmorants.l Each has long
string tied to it's body and another
string about its neck to prevent it
swallowing the, larger of it's catch.
When it has caught fish the owner
draws In the cord, takes it from it
and let's the bird stay aboard his
craft for while, apparently to rest.
Then, by quick motion he shakes
the float on which they are all stand
ing, fisherman and birds, and they
dive off again and come up bringing
squirming victim to- their master.
The birds are permitted to swallow
the smaller; fish and are thus made to
feed themselves in payment for the
work accomplished; no fish no food.
The cormorant at a short distance
IS much the appearance of the wild
goose of our country but is slightly
arger 1t has a rapid motions in
light and is quick in the air as on
the water.
Some reader might think from
his story the Chinese are lazy en-

quits reading, for the rest of it
merely says: Trusting that we have
answered your enquiry to your sat
isfaction, and that we may have the
pleasure of booking your order TO

stuff and sees the april delivery"
which might as well have been said
as the closing words of the para
graph above. The rest is all useless
gush, but it costs just as much to
write it as If it had value. Most
business letters could be cut down

$500 a day in overhead expense to

her warm and comfortable at her
work, and to keep good light and
pure water within reach. and carry
accident insurance for her and all
the other trimmings that go to make
a good work-office, 1t amounts to
$500 day that 1t costs for the work
she does. II you can cut out half
of the work of letter writing and
have her accomplish days work by
noon each day. and do 1t as easily
as she did it the other day, and make
it easier for the fellow at the other
