Pair of Robins at
Grand Canyon Park
Prove Intelligence

How intelligent is robin? Per-
haps a pair of the most intelligent
western robins make their home at
Grand Canyon National Park.
Dry weather had prevailed for
several weeks. A pair wished to
build their nest but found the long
needles of the western yellow pine
stiff, and difficult to weave. Water
is rather scarce for bird life on the
south rim of the canyon so many of
the Government employees provide
drinking fountains for their feath-
cred friends. The robins evidently
knew from past experience or per-
haps instinct that wet needles are
more pliable than dry. At any rate
the bird would fly to the drinking
fountain and dip the needles giving
several swishes of the head so as
to thoroughly moisten them. After
being assured of their pliability the
robins would fly to the upper
branches of a Utah juniper and
carefully lay the corner stone of
their home.
In order that this action should
not be mistaken for accident, the
pair were watched throughout the
day. Except during the middle of
the day when the robins desisted
from their Industrious occupation,
the incident was repeated with
great precision.

ing:
The cartel was downed yesterday.

The vote in the Chamber yesterday
was 327 to 1872 on a question of conf
dence in connection with the meas
ure providing that the state should be-
come equal heir with children in di-
rect inheritances. The government de-
manded later consideration for this ar.
ticle and received the Chambers sup
port.
The government victory on the
question Of procedure. they argue,
shows the difficulties Of conciliating
party interests of the different groups
in the cartel but the outcome leaves
the situation unchanged In this re-
spect. that the government needs the
cartel as much as the cartel needs the
government. No other workable ma
tority is to be found in the lower
house; since the conclusion with
which the radical Socialist leaders
comfort themselves in that Premier

The deputies, who were early in
their seats this morning, applied them
selves diligently 10 the passage OF
some minor items of the financial bills.

ened air after the dramatic cl:~lax of
