The whale Is able to hold his breath
for a long time, sometimes for As
minutes, and he Is able to open his
mouth under water when eating, be-
cause his nostrils connect directly
with his windpipe and not with the
back Of his mouth, as in most other
animals. When he comes to the sur
face he blows the air out Of his lungs.

best Feeling Should Prevail.

There Is a feud still only a few
weeks old, out IN one of the Westches-
ter towns that promises to develop in.
to a vendetta as intense and deadly
as anything that Breathitt county ever
produced. The pity of the feud ia
that no one would ever have predicted
it; no one took steps to forestall it.
The BiXbys and the Judds have been
neighbors for more than six months
and until recently relations had been
friendly between the two families
BiXby and Judd come out from the
tty on the same train three or four
nights a week and until last week took
part in the best game of pitch in the
commuters league. Mrs. Bixby and
Mrs. Judd were neighborly about such
things as little vinegar or enough
olive oil for a French dressing.
But that is all over now. Bixby and
Judd pass each other with laboriouSly
achieved unconcern. There are no
more informal visits from house to
house. The Bixbys are talking seri-
0usly about selling their house, even
at sacrifice, that they may get into
a more congenial atmosphere. The
Judds are letting 1t be known that the
neighborhood Is in some ways an IN
pleasant one.
Love of nature really started it all.
The Bixbys were unaware of the fact
that Mrs. Judd was a bird lover. It
IS not always easy to Identify pro-
fesslonal bird lover Very often they
give every indication of being normal
persons. It is only when the annual
migration starts that the bird lovers
give themselves away.
That was when Mrs. Judd revealed
her true character. AS soon as the
first robins appeared In the neighbor-
hood she began TO take the trouble Of
the birds 10 heart. 1t was large or
der to worry about all the birds in
town, but Mrs. Judd was conscientious.
There was Felix, for instance. Felix
highly decorative but not particularly
respectable, and not familiar enough
with bird lore to know that he
shouldn't catch robins. He had been
doing II for long time; he did it one
bright morning on the lawn In front
Of the Judd house,
Mrs. Judd went to the telephone
She called Mrs. Bixby. There were
few remarks, progressively Icy. A
complete silence The feud began.
Felix. however, merely sat in the
sun and cleaned up after his meal.

BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD


Mc!Acntous events and developments
marked the year 1922 both at meme
and abroad. In America these inc'ud-
ed the great strikes of coal miners ana
railroad shopmen; the passage by CON
gress of a new tariff bill, and the gen
eral defeat Of the Republican party IN
the November elections. Among the
most noteworthy events elsewhere
We're the establishment of the irish

pope; the rout of the Greeks in ASIA
Minor and the regeneration Of the
Turkish state, followed by the Near
East peace conference at Lausanne; ;
the downfall of Prime Minister Lloyd
George. ana the triumph of the t'as-
cisti in italy
Although the people of the United
States enjoyed q fair amount Of pros
perlty throughout the year, they We're
disconnected and dissatisfied, and
showed 1t when they Went to the polls
in November. Seemingly they did not
like the new tariff law, and the big
enforcement also had their effect then.
Economic and financial conditions IN
some of the European countries
showed little or no Improvement, due
in part to the continued state # IN
settlement concerning the German rep
arations and TO the renewed turmoil in
the Near East Other countries, nota-
bly, Italy and Czechoslovalia, moved
definitely toward sterilization and
prosperity. Communism and socialism
suffered a tremendous setback In Italy
when the Fascist rehelled against
those doctrines and took over the con-
troll Of the government.

Full of you thful fun and folly
In the sunshine or the snow

Many pitfalls he can see,
