Woodpecker Is Natures Lineman.

The downy woodpecker, the hairy
woodpecker and the flicker all seem
possessed with mania for killing de-
structive wood-boring larvae, says the
American Forestry Magazine.
Better equipped than a telephone
lineman for climbing; supported by
a spurred tail; provided with hooked
claws for clinging to the bark ham
mer-headed, chisel-beaked, and armed
with tremendously long, strong,
lance-pOinted, barbed, eXtensile tongue,
the woodpecker drills through the
wood directly into the spot where the
borer lies hidden, pushes in the tip
of his barbed tongue, spears the vic
tim and whips it quickly into his open
beak.

The British therefore confined
their efforts to drawing UP a detail

THIS noon there was one chance IA
a hundred that some development
might occur which would prolong
the conference and bring about an
understanding. Mr.. Bopar Law de-
sires 10 avoid any dramatic play in
tho situation, it was indicated, and
will therefore probably wait until
tomorrow morning before leaving
Paris rather than return at once
after the meeting. After the expect
ell breaking up of the conference j
meeting of the British cabinet prob.
ably will be held to approve the
British delegations attitude here.
This meeting may take place to,
morrow. y
II also is believed that a definite
announcement by France that he
would take independent measures
would be followed by the issuance
OF q formal statement by the Brit
ish cabinet pointing out that Great
Britain was opposed to such indie
penden. measures toward Germany
and at the same time reaffirming
her strong friendship for France
