HYPNOTIZED

You have seen hypnotss the stage. Scientists are

research and performed this interesting experiment:
Wilson hypnotized man. then told him that the carpet
was magic and would carry him to King Iuts tomb IN
Egypt The man under the hypnotic spell highly pleased
He swayed back and forth though the imaginary trip
through the air rough.
When told that the carpet had to earth, the man
stepped out scooped up imaginary sand and exclaimed with
delight Then he through all the motions OF thorough

His imaginary trip probably was as good as the real
thing except he had recollection OF 1T when roused
from the hypnotic state. ...r.

HOUSING PROBLEMS FOR THE
BIRDS TOLD OF BY HASKIN

members of their own species. 1t is
rare that two families of bluebirds,
fiickers, or swallows will nest near
together. The birds do no+ generally
seem to object to neighbors, but they
must be of a different tribe.
When first experiments were made
with bird houses, only four kinds of
birds We're regarded as likely ten
ants. They were the tree swallow,
biuebird, house wren, and martin.
But since care has been taken to
make houses and sheds attractive to
particular birds, about thirty Varie-
ties have been known to live in man
built shelters.
Houses that are partly or entirely
! open on the sides, like sheds, attract
| some birds that will not go into
closed houses. In this class are the
/ robin. phoebe, Carolina wren. song
sparrow, barn swallow, and sparrow
| hawk.
The location of the home is an
! other important consideration to
| birds who come to look it over. For
| instance, robins like trees while mar
| tins do not like to Re within some
20 feet of trees or buildings. Venti-
| lation. protection from wind and
rain. and cleanliness are a few other
| points which make a house comfort
| able for bird tenants.
| In New England all bird houses
must be built so that they can be
| opened and inspected for gypsy
moths. While this is not a require
! ment elsewhere, it is preferable, al
most necessary, to construct a house
/ so Shat it can be opened and easily
! cleaned out each season.
| Fresh paint is no more liked by
! birds than by human beings. For
! this reason a new house should be
set out if possible a short time be-
! fore the birds are expected, to allow
| it to weather.
/ Besides furnishing homes for birds
| many people are attracting them by
| food shelters and bird baths, and by
! planting bushes and trees that bear
| fruits liked by song birds.
The Department of Agriculture
suggests that a simple bird bath may
be only a metal tray, not very deep
| and with a rough edge and bottom
surface SO that the birds can get an
| easy foothOld, The water should be
kept fresh and, generally speaking

The British king, recognizing the
growing power of labor, has been
trying withouts much luck to get
labor's political leaders to attend
some of his social functions. Most
of the comment has been about the
effect of this mixing, on the king
and his iob-how it indicates con-
cession by royalty.
More important would be the
effect on the labor leaders. Social
contact with royalty would bank
some of their fires. Let them hob

they'd begin a conservative attitude.

WASHINGTON, March 26:-ENen
the birds are finding the housing
problem a little more troublesome
nowadays. More and more trees are
being cut down. Hollow trees, which
are favorite nesting places, are clear
ed out energetically by the efficient
farmer. And in consequence, each
year there are fewer really desirable
woodland apartments waiting for the
song birds when they return from
their winter season in the south.
The situation is not serious, how
ever, because the syste matte deple-
tton of the timber supply is parallel
ed by a growing interest in the well
fare of the song birds. Not only are
all birds except pests generally pro-
tected by federal and state laws, but
all sorts of efforts are being made to
encourage the song birds and to Gull
tivate their friendship.
The pleasures of having bird fami-
lies under ones protection have been
described so glowingly by nature So
cieties and school teachers that all
over the country people are attract
ing birds to their homes.
At the same time the Department
of Agriculture continues to point out
that song birds are the great natural
insect pest destroyers. Hundreds,
even thousands, of insects may be
eaten by one bird in day. But uu-
less the birds like a locality they will
rot live there regardless of a large
and allurins food supply of gypsy
moths, potato beetles, and aphlds.
There are now on an average Of
only about two birds to an acre in
- o :
bird experts say that this number
can be greatly increased where the
birds are protected and welcomed.
The farmer or fruit grower who
takes the trouble to understand the
demands of bird tenants may have
| as many as fifty-nine pairs of birds
to the acre. all wo4 king busily TO ex-
| terminate his worst insect enemies
! There is an instance of a 200 acre
| farm in North Carolina where it was
shown that birds destroyed 1000 000
| green bugs, or wheat aphids, daily
| Sometimes a tree or an entire field is
| known to be kept entirely free from
pests by birds.
/ Because these facts are gaining
. prominence. building bird houses tc

| ly popular practice. 1t IS estimated
tnat there are no" propapiy seEera
million Dlrd houses hopetully waiting
