SUMMERTIME
BY ID. c. PEATTIE.

Something very much like the mo-
tons of snakes neck land by the

and end?) made me look closer at
the strange object moving in the grass
that bordered the pond toward which
/ was striding. stopped abruptly and
watched for some minutes until the
head reappeared. knew 1t then to be
my friend the bittern, who in some
numbers every year fingers the sum-

1t Is odd that, though the bittern is
perfectly worthless eating, like the her.
on. both herons and bitterns are con-
tinually shot at by people who call
themselves sportsmen. These birds have
such a slow fight, are so large, and
will linger so long at your approach
before taking TO the wing, that they
are always an easy mark. There Is no
sport, In the true meaning OF the word,
in hitting them. Clay pigeons are wa
rier.
On the other hand, the bittern as
grotesoue ornament in the landscape
deserves to be cherished / can hardly
say that he is beautiful-but must
everything in nature be pretty? II
seems to me false standard. An ostrich
is not my idea of pretty. but / would
give a good deal to see one scampering
across his native bush land.
The bittern, indeed, Is very nearly
the comedy relief of our bird world.
His neck and yellow legs are exagger-
atedly long; buff circles surround the
eyes, Ike spectacles, and from these
seeming specs" depends what looks
like q long. black ribbon, really dark
plumage, OF course. giving him the ap-
pearance of dignified but slightly pre-
posterous old pedant or country doctor.
1t takes two people to initiate the bit
terms odd note. for he seems to say
thump at the same time that he says
quash. For this reason he has been
called, by country folk, the stake driver.
One may hear him making the sound
of a nallet striking stake going down
into the mucky ground for the distance
OF mile. But in the middle distance
1t sometimes sounds like truck lum-
bering over planks laid across a swamp.

PEASANTS CLAIM
 TO BE WINNERS
Rumanian Party Gets Sweeping Victory in Parliament

Bucharest, Rumania. Dec. IS N0 The national peasants party today claimed to have won a sweeping vic- tory in the national elections for the lower house of parliament.
 Early returns indicated that the peasant government headed by Pre- mier Maniu would be confirmed in office.
 Rumania had never known such a peaceful election as was the first one held under the Maniu regime, which held only 46 of the 3S7 seats in the parlia ment recently dissolved.
 Peasants headquarters announced that the liberal party led by former Premier Nintilla Bratianu had made q weak showing. The liberal party held BPS seats in the previous house.
 Communists Lose
 The statement added that com munist candidates were severely beaten and that Nicholas Jorga and Alexandra Averscu. who had joint candidates of the peoples national party in the field, failed to gain a single seat.
 The polls were kept open three and a half hours after the time they were due to close because the peas ants voted in such unprecedentedly large numbers. Millions of them took the opportunity to celebrate and made gay excursions. dressed In their best Sunday sheepskins, white shepherd like cotton costumes and biblical sandals, to the polls.
 The peasants had had no such freedom at the polls since before 1 Rumania was freed from Turkish

bondage. The premier warned all policemen. many of whom were ap- pointed during the long regime of the Bratianu brothers. that if they attempted to interfere with election rights and freedom of movement of the citizens they would be severely punished.
 The liberal party made no attempt to contest the election with peasant candidates in the rural districts. They confined themselves to large cities and towns. where they hoped the bourbeois vote would bring them at least 100 seats. The peasants pre- dicted that the liberals would not obtain more than . dozen mandates.
 Available returns indicated that the peasants had swept Transyl- vania. the home of Maniu, and oth- CT areas that formerly were part of the Austro- Hungarian empire.
