WITH COMING /. | I OF
BELLEDI BUzZARD.
superstitious Residents o
Southern West Virginia
Become Alarmed.

MARLINToN, w. Va. July s.
The far-famed "belled'' buzzard,
claimed by pioneer resid ents to be
more than a hundred years old,
again is lowering over the hills of
;Pocahontas. Monroe and Mercer
counties. Superstitious residents
fear a disaster is imminent IN
which there will be greatloss OF
life. They point to past OCCASIONS
when the "belled" buzzard made
its appearance few weeks before
guerilla warfare and floods visited
Southern West Virginia.
For three months prior to the
Cabin Creek strike nine years ago,
the buzzard circled the territory
On radius of 100 miles. Later it
was reported to have been seen
on the Mexican border when there
was fighting between forces OF
Mexicans. The bird returned to
West Virginia several years ago
when there was loss of life by
foods. Tor a year it was in Mingoi
county and was the target OF
many miners
r. w Skaggs Of Wolf Creek
claims to have seen the bel1ed
buzzard a few days ago on his
farm. He said it was flying SO low
that the bell around its neck could
be heard distinctly. Two years
ago, Mr.. Skaggs saw the bird and
told friends one of its legs had
become entangled in the strap
which held the bell around its
neck. 1t was then thought that
the bird had died as it was not
seen again until a few weeks ago.
Warren, Carpenter Of Laurel
Creek saw the buZzard recently
and also said it was flying SO low
that the bell could be plainly seen
1t was flying over the farm of o.
w. and L. S. Carpenter.
Traditions has it that the buz-
gard was captured by pioneer
white residents of West Virginia
shortly after the war OF lSl2 me
story goes that two men approacn-
ed the bird while it was in the
carcass of an old horse and made
a prisoner of the bird.
The men tied the small bell and
a gourd around the buzaards
neck, traditions says, and astr1p
of white cloth to its feet. 1t was
then liberated and when high In
the air had the appearance Of AN
eagle with a baby in its talons.
The gourd and cloth became un,

They had reached the wrought
iron gates at the end of the avenue.
Through these they beheld the
waiting yellow chaise which had
brought Andre-Louis. From near
at hand came the creak Of other
wheels, the beat of other hoofs..
and now another vehicle came>.in
sight, and drew to a standstill.
The lady who occupied the car

The footman opened the door,
letting down the steps and proffer-
ing his arm to his mistress to as
sist her to alight. She was wo.

who once must have been very
lovely, who was very lovely still
with the refining quality that age
brings to some women. Her dress
and carriage Alike advertised great
rank.
..I take my leave here, since you
have a visitor" said Andre-Eouis.
..But it is an old acquaintance OF
your own, Andre. You remember

He looked at the approaching
lady and because she was named
to MIN he recognized her. He must
he thought, have recognized her
without prompting anywhere at
any time, and this although 1t was
some sixteen years since last he
had seen her. The sight of her
brought it all back to htm-a treas
ured memory that had never per
mitted itself to be entirely overlaid
by subsequent event.
When he was a boy OF ten, on
the eve of being sent to school
at Rennes, she had come en- a visit
to his godfather, who was her cou-
sin. The great lady, in all the glory
then Of her youthful beauty. with
her gentle, cultured voice-and her
majestic air of the great world,
had scared him little at first.
Very gently had she allayed those
fears Of his, and by some mysteri-
Gus enchantment she had complete
" enslaved his regard.
For three days whilst she had
been at Gavrillac, he had gone
daily to the manor, and so had
spent hours in her company. A

instinct strong within her, she had

TO help JOBLESS
o. T. Mallery Stresses Present
Need of Public Works to
Create Employment.

Otto T. Mallery, secretary Of the
public works committee, Presidents
conference on unemployment, issued
the following statement yesterday
regarding the Kenyon bill:
Return Of the Kenyon public
works bill to the Senate Committee
on Labor affords an opportunity for
amendment which will remove the
objections revealed by the debate.
A similar bill has been intruhI-
in the House by Representative No.
Ian, of California. The fundamen-
tai principle of both bills Is ad-
vocated by the Presidents confer
ence on unemployment and in
dorsed generally by chambers of
commerce. labor organizations, the
Federated Societies of American
Engineers, and the Associated Gen
eral Contractors, and some of the
leading economists of the country.
The principle Is that the Fed
eral government should prepare to
expand it's public works to afford
more employment during periods of
depression than when private In
dustry Is actively competing for
the same men and materials. Til,
is now being done generally by the
cities and States. Tho largest sin.
gle contract ever undertaken by
the State of New York, or the STATE
of New Jersey. or the City of New
York-which is the new Hudson
River veNcular tunnel contract
will be awarded this month at a
time when the greatest possible
stimulus to industry will be given.
Materials required include more
than 100000 tons of finished cast
irgs. many thousands Of barrels of
cement. and large construction
plants of all kinds. The cost. will
be several millions less than il the
had been awarded during
the business over-expansion period
of 1919. or. 1920. Thousands of men
will be employed directly and indi-
rectIy for whom private industry
now affords no opening.
Wages received by the men so
employed will increase the demand
for many commodities wholly I'M
with construction The
stimulus will be felt in the textile
mills of New England. in the mines
and furnaces of the Middle West,
and in retail business in the metro
politan area. II the States and
cities can do, as they are doing,
twite the amount of public work
during the present depression than
during any previous boom year. a
way will be found for the Federal
to adopt the same sound
policy, in the interest not only of
all its people, but as a matter Of

Questions and Answers

Radio Editor:-which wire is the
best to use for an aerial, solid
brass or. copper?
G. c. W.. Chevy Chase.
Either of these wires will do for
a receiving aerial.

struments comprise the following
Two thousand ohm phones. crystal
detector, three slide tuning coil,
and an aerial composed Of 4S6 feet

READER OF THE HERALD.
You will get better results by
putting the phones in series with
the detector and then shunting the
fixed condenser across the phones
You will not be able to hear with

Radio Editor: Is there any differ
ence between honeycomb and duo
lateral coils? Can a vocaloud be at
tached to a crystal set?
G. II. MITCHELL. Jr.
There is a slight difference in the
method of winding. but the two
coils will give practically the same
results. You cannot attach a loud
speaker of any type to a crystal set
unless you get the signals very loud
