But IL was only a few years ago
that Donald Hough told me of having
shot d partridge that had been feast
ing on snake meat. Made curious by
the distended crop Of the bird, he
opened IL and took therefrom a grass
snake which by actual measurement
was Il inches long.
1t seems strange that this beauti-
full bird, the king of the thickets. the
aristocrat of the forests, should eat
dead horse and snakes. But when
you stop to think about it, why is this
any worse than worms and grubS as
food? The partridge simply did at a
single gulp what other insectivorous
birds tand other partridge, Of course)
took day or more to do in the mat
ter of filling the larder.
There are few birds which present
such complex personality rs the
grouse does, and few can point with
pride" to so many strange accom-
plshments.
Two hunters were shooting par
fridge in the Michigan woods, driving
to their shooting grounds in d small
closed car. They left the car stand
ing beside the road and entered the
woods. 1t was not long before they
flushed a pair OF birds, one OF them
dropping to the gun and the other
darting through the woods in the df-
rection of the parked car
In an hour or SO the hunters re-
turned to the car. AS they approach
cd it they were surprised to see that
the plate glass of one of the rear
doors had been smashed to pieces. Ly
ing in the bottom of the car, sur
rounded by the wreckaGe of the glass.
they found a dead partridge. And on
the glass door opposite the one which
had been shattered was a single red
stain, to which adhered bits of fea-
ther,
Thus it was seen that the bird had
not been stopped by the first glass
(Which was rolled plate glass a quar-
ter of an inch thick). but had struck
the opposite one with considerable
force.
The glass that had been broken
was scattered throughout the car,
some of it being found in the front
seat.
The affair, it seems to me. had a
strange significance. 1t seemed as
though the bird. realizing the ap-
preaching extinction OF his kind by
reason Of these cars parked by the
side of the road, or sometimes not
even parked, but used, as they
rambled along, as engines Of de-
struction, had sought vengeance

Columbia in regard to Saturdays game.
1t is thought that if the contest with its
chief rival, Cornell is Cancelled, that
the Columbia team will be disbanded for

Public opinion would be more potent

of Idaho declared in an address on
The Outlawry of War" before the

Referring to a statement made by
The late President Woodrow Wilson,
he asserted that people do not make

that in the future no war should be

who will fight and die. and who must
hear the brunt of the burden, will
have the choice, instead of a clique
of Scheming men who have the power
TO choose peace the same as they
have to choose war"
Replying to a question as to wheth-
er piracy would have disappeared if
no other force than public opinion
had been brought to bear upon it,
Senator Borah said that while it was
due to the laws that this crime was

Is not behind ii. but it will be after a

Any plan or scheme which recog-
nizes war either by covenant or pro-

Senator Borah asserted. I'VE must
strive to eliminate war and no longer
recognize 1t either by the League of
Nations or by international law if we
