LONG LOST USE OF WINGS
Ground Parrot, Found Only in New Zealand, Interesting to the Stu
 dent of Evolution.

The wingless birds of New Zealand are particularly interesting to the na- tnre student as illustrating the process 0f evolution. Nowhere but in their native land could these birds have survived, and, therefore, nowhere else would they have become wingless. New Zealand is the only region on earth where there are no destructive animals. Being unable to fly, the birds could not, of course, have escaped from any swift hunting animals such as abound in all other lands. It is in- feresting to note that the kakapo, or ground parrot, once had the use of It's wings, but being a grass seed feeder and finding no enemies on the ground gradually ceased to fly and eventually lost the use of its wings entirely, though it can run very swiftly. These birds are so gentle and so unconscious of having any enemies that If a per son sits down near one and keeps qui- ct 1t will presently tuck its head un- der its wing and go to sleep. The kakapo breeds but once in two years, and the mother bird carefully hides the nest from her mate, though why she does so Is unknown, the male showing no desire to harm the eggs or young birds. In this infrequent breed ing is demonstrated natures thought fnlness-having no destructive ene- mics the kakapo would multiply to too great numbers if he breeding season occurred as frequently as with other birds.

PEANUT BUTTER VALUABLE
 FOOD WHEN EATEN WISELY

Many persons like peanuts but
 cannot eat them because they cause
 indigestion. Not all persons can eat peanuts comfortably, and this is especially true of older folks.
 Peanuts disagree with people for three reasons" says Miss Connie J. Bonslagel. state home demonstra- ton agent. First we have habit of buying a bagful or roasting pan full if they are grown at home, and eating the whole amount at one time. Indigestion is the result. In the second place we invariably eat peanuts between meals when no additional food is needed ana when the stomach already has all IL can comfortably do. The tnird reason is that we masticate them poorly, sending hard Jumps into the stomach to be digested and pain IS often the result.
 'sBy converting peanuts into pea mt butter we can make them a more economical and more easily dioested food which is conveniently served at the table or in the school lunch. Peanut butter is a valuable food, rich in punishment when eat en wisely.
 "A good recipe for peanut but ter is two quarts of Spanish pea nuts, four quarts of Virginia pea nuts and two ounces of salt. Roast the peanuts uniformly brown, grind, add the salt and grind twice agaln SO as to distribute the salt well Pack in small jars and ;terilize for an hour at 1SO de yrees Fahrenheit in a water bath. If there is too much oil in the but ,er and it will separate and the nuts will rise, leaving the oil in the bottom of the jars. The Spanish peanuts contain a large amount of ,il, therefore it is necessary to nix this variety with Virginia pea nuts in the proportions given lbove."

Louisville, KY. where they attended a
district meeting Of the Rotary club
held there Monday at the Watterson

>of the various clubs in the district
present at the gathering. Fifteen rep
resentatives attended. % De-
Mr. Wiltse states that most OF the
meeting was given over to round table
discussions OF questions pertaining to
the welfare OF the district.
Mr. Monroe. a representative OF the

something OF the trips that would be
available to the member Of the Interna-
tional Rotary attending the meeting 70

TRUCKS Will
SPEED SERVICE
All Branches Except Lookout
and Signal Mountain Will
Be Served.

With the mortorixing OF local mai
service on Oct. 1. the Chattanoosa
postoffics viii take q long step for
ward In completely undertaking ths
department. After nearly two years OF
untiring effort. Postmaster Howell has
ut last secured this service for Chat
tanooga, although II has been denied
to many cities much larger.
According to plans announced Tues
day, the mail service, with the excep-
ton Of Lookout mountain and Signal
mountain. Is TO be carried entirely on
The branch postoftics. In North
Chattanooga. East Chattanooga, 81.
Elmo, ALTON Park. Highland Park.
Rossville, East Lake and Stations A
and B. will be served BY the motor
service.
-Four trucks will be used in trans
porting mails between the postoffice
and the railroad stations. three for the
delivery OF parcel post, two for the
collection OF mail, one for the delivery
OF mail to outlying manufacturers, and
two TO perform the service now being
rendered by the Chattanooga Railway
and Light company.
One OF the deciding factors In the
esta blishment OF this service IN the
local postofflce was the congestion Of
traffic on Market street caused by the
and picking up mail from
the street cars at Sixth street.
Another large factor in the establish
ment OF the motor service was the
total inadeduacy OF the old method OF
street car service.
Changes In Ten Years.
Before the Inauguration OF the parcel
post system about ten years ago. the
street car service was satisfactory.
But since that time 30 much heavy
mall matter Ia handled through the
parcel post the street car service and
the mail service has been slowed Mp
by the necessity OF filling the cars with
mail sacks.
In many cases street cars have been
nearly half full OF mail pouches ana
passengers were forced to tread on
cases OF eggs, flowers, or anything else
that might happen to be In tho sacks.
Concurrently with the taking over or
the service which has been rendered by
the street car company, the screen
wagon, the factory wagon, the collec-
ion and parcel post wagons VIII be
lunked. -,
Although this motor service win be
FAR more expensive than the system
now In operation, II Is considerd by
Mr.. Howell to be the most progressive
step ever taken locally by the post
office department. ....l
