ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY Olive Roberts Barton

: J ~
"Cuckoo!l Cuckoo! Cuckoo!
Cuckoo!" went a bird in a magnolia
tree right over the heads OF the
Twins.
The children looked up in sur
prise. Hello, there!" called Nancy
as this where you live? l thought
! cuckoo-birds only lived in clocks"
"No, ma'am:' answered the bird
1--WE live in Dixie Land! What are
clocks %
Don't you know" exclaimed
Nancy looking at Nick as much as
to say, well, of all the uneducated
people We have ever met on our ira
vels, this one is the worst" "Why
it is something to tell time by!" she
said.
That's queer!" declared the bird.
Il always-teA--tim by the sun. l
get up when the sun gets up and go
to bed when it does. Does clock
go to bed and get up in the morning
And why do cuckoo birds live in
them?"
Nancy told the cuckoo bird all
about clocks, and how some of them
were built in the shape of little
house with tiny door up under
the roof which opened when the
clock struck the hour. And she told
how cuckoo birds came out of the
doors and sang out Cuckoo" as
many times as there were hours
marked on the clock.
That's queer!" said the cuckoo
when Nancy had finished. I've seen
many birds Of my own kind and not
one Of them ever told me about a
clock before"
ooh, but these are only pretend
birds!" explained Nancy. "They are
so cunningly made they look real,
and act real, but they aren't alive
at all! l know all about it for
grandma had one"
I Suddenly a new voice spoke up
from another branch of the mapno-
lila tree. "There's nothing strange
about all that! For pretend cuckoo
to live in pretend house. Why,
even the real cuckoos do that! Or
rather they pretend that other peo-
pies houses are theirs and they
make themselves right at home"
There was flash of bright red
among the branches and Mister Ken
lucky Cardinal flew down within
gossiping distance. VI never saw it
myself, but it's common talk in
Dixie Land that cuckoos never build
nests for themselves, but lay their
eggs in the nests of other birds when
the mothers are away. When the
mother bird comes back and sits
upon her eggs again, she never no.

that there is new egg in her nest.
So she goes on sitting and keeping
her eggs warm, and when they hatch

Are you sure about that, Mister

fluttering her wings nervously.
"Sure!" Well ought to be. Just
this very minute Missez Warbler
told me that there is strange egg
in her nest and she doesn't know
what to do about it,"
Lets go and see," suggested
Nancy. "You lead the way, Mister
Cardinal, and we'll all follow"

For years cowboys and Founders

Europe it's pictures of life in the

came to the fore, and Europe insisted
on having films which would violate

AIR ] ACKET FORM E d
Helps TO Keep Plants for
Weeks After Killing Frost
Has Come

Readville, Mass, Sept. 20.-Put a
damp, warm air jacket on your gar
den plants if you want to protect
thnm from frost this autumn. That
is the advice Of Alexander McAdie,
director of the Blue Hill OBserva-
tory, who speaks as one with author
ity on the subject because of his
success in aiding orange growers in
California to keep their crops from
freezing.
"'Your grandmother probably loved
flowers and took good care Of them
said Director McAdie, who also is
professor of meteorology at Harvard.
"She had the right idea, when the
crisp early fall nights came around,
of protecting the flowers from frost
by wrapping newspapers around
them carefully, pinning the paper so
that there would be no gaps and
wide-open places. In this way her
plants would keep their blossoms
until October.
"But grandma did not know it all !;
we think we know little more than
the old lady did. We now wrap the
newspaper around the plant just as
before, but after pinning it tightly
we twist another sheet of paper in
to something like rope about an
inch thick and pin it in place. We
then take third sheet and wrap it
around just as was done the first
sheet. We now have an air space
about an inch thick between the two
wrappings and this air jacket pre-.
vents loss of heat. 1t is an excel
lent heat insulator. We have prac
tically bottled up the inside hot all
around the plant, and if this is done
about three o'clock in the afternoon
it is almost as effective as keeping
small stove near the plant. Alst
we should sprinkle the plant and thu
ground with water, sprinkle it well
before we wrap the papers arount
it.
7aWith most flowers and small
fruits the temperature has to fal
four or five degrees below the freez
ing point and remain there for sew
eral hours before damage is done
Plants can be cooled to point be
low freezing and yet if graduall
warmed up, not injured.
$50 water the plants freely, cove
them tightly, put an air jacket o
them and after uncovering the mex
morning sprinkle again, with waite
that is rather cold. Don't use he
water. And shade the plants frOI
the sun for several hours.
'Of course for garden truck, lare
err gardens and orchards, where tn
protection of the crop is a CONNER
cial problem, it is more practical
cover with light weight cloth or US
orchard heaters, oil pots, etc. Beside
heating, the smoke serves as
screen or cover"

EW YORK, Aug. IA first
nj nighter said to me the other
evening, Its a strange thing,
isn't it, how Cohan's comedies always
go big with the public, even though
they don't go so we'll with the crit
ics?"
If George NJ. Cohan's comedies fail
to "go big with the critics the an
swer is simple-he doesn't give the
critics much to write about.
Cohan can keep the play-goer in
high spirits and the critics in good
humor while they are in the theater.
Then when the reviewer sits down
ar his typewriter and begins to say
something that will entertain his read
ers he finds he has nothing at hand.
George Cohan knows how TO make
casual, familiar situations entertain
ing and the usual critic must have
something unusual to deal with before
he can make his stuff worth reading.
COhan's Latest Is
Studied for Laughs
Consider 1.-TWO Fellows and a Girl, -
the latest Cohan comedy The big
gest laugh in that comes when a
young husband who has tarried a bit
at the nineteenth hole at the golf
course is late for dinner. When his
wife calls his delinquency to his at
tention he sits down and begins,
