ABOUT THE BIRDS

! ID LILLE BROWNIE was given per-
~ mission, as he so often is, by
Mother Nature to visit the different
birds.
/, You know Mother Nature has given
Billie Brownie the power to under
stand the language of the different
creatures and they tell him their sto-
ries so he can let others know of their
interesting ways.
Billie Brownie was eager to call on
the BIRDS He hadn't chatted with them
for ever and ever so long.
First he had a talk with the Tree
Sparrows.
''We don't mind the winter weather
We eat seeds from old weeds which
we find sticking up above the snow"
they told Billie Brownie. "And it is
very seldom that we beg for food
around houses. We can provide for
ourselves.
"Now we've heard description of
sparrows as told by some one who

their bills are dull in color and lose
their summer gorgeousness.
"Field Sparrow wears reddish coat
while Chipping Sparrow wears hand
some white touches above his eyes.
"Now, I'm bigger in size than these
other two.
II have white touches to the wings
and dark spot in the center of my
waistcoat which ! call my pet spot
II dearly love that spot.
Sometimes we can sing quite sweet
ly. But / suppose we're not famous
for our voices. Anyway they say 1t Is
nice to see us about in the winter
time"
II should say So" Billie Brownie
answered, "and | thank you so much
for having told me your story. 1t was
enormously good of YOU
"Delighted to tell you it," said the
Tree Sparrow, with pretty little trill
to his voice.
Then Billie Brownie went to call on
the Red-Breasted Nuthatch and there
he heard of how these birds loved the
great forest though at times they
wandered off to see other places, too,
and often they went for trip with
the Chickadee family or the White
Breasted Nuthatch.
They told Billie Brownie of the lady
who always put suet on lilac bush so
that her bird friends could have nice
meals all through the winter.

bills" said the Nuthatch, "and that
Is really quite easy to remember. For
one part of us is pointed and one Is
not, and that to us seems very simple.
1--WE don't think anyone would forget
and say, LET us be on the lookout
for the birds with blunt bills and point
ed tails

out for the birds with the pointed bills

"The White-Breasted cousins are
bigger than we are. Then, of course,
there Is more reddish brown to us
and more white to the cousins as you'd
imagine by their names.
"Then, too, the White Breasted cous
ms have white faces. And our voices
are higher in pitch. Those are some
of the differences.
I'VE hope we've told enough, Billie
Brownie"
And Billie Brownie thanked them
and said that now he thought he would
always be able to tell the difference
between the two families of Nut
matches.

Uncommon Sense
By John Blake

THE other day l listened to a very
L excellent sermon by a celebrated
clergyman-a man whose ability is un-
questioned, and who is power for
good in his community.
He was discussing the question Of
religion and science, and showing very
effectively how they can be reconciled,
and abide side by side, each doing its
share for the betterment of the world
and the freeing of mems souls from
evil and superstition.
But while, in support of his COM
mendation of religion he quoted many
religious writers-beside those whose
words are immortalized in the Bible
he borrowed literally, in talking
about science, from a recent book,
and neglected to mention either the
book or its author.
This, perhaps, would not have been
so subject to criticism had he not
unwittingly no doubt-conveyed the
idea that the many facts which he
employed had been gathered by him
self through his wide reading. AS
q matter of truth he spoke of little
OF the science side of his argument
that was not contained in that par
ticuar book.
It's author did not pretend to any
erudition or researcE-he gave all his
authorities-and told his story with
out asking any or, dit for himself. But

on, citing case after case-and all
of them, as was plain to one who
had read the book, came directly out

1t is mere thoug' tlessness.
Yet il got for him, in the eyes of
some of his readers, reputation for
wide learning which he did not pos
sess, and this was hardly fair. The
clergyman occupies peculiar posi-

fore the world.

greatly admired-and what he says
has a real authority.
He must read widely, and think
deeply to be convincing, and he must
above all maintain his intellectual in
tegrity at high standing.
He cannot give page verse and line
as authority for everything he says,
but when he dips whole handfuls of
material from one book, 1t would be
more generous for him to name the
author of the book, and thank him
for having written it.
Scientists must depend on writing
men to make their work known. Few
writing men are qualified for this job.
This man was so qualified He did
an excellent work. He rendered the
achievements of modern investigation
better than the investigators could
have rendered 1t.
Yet if had not read his work, |
would have given this pastor the cred
1t for this achievement-and he did
not deserve it at ALL

Long after the game had finished ex- cited groups of students were heard adiscussing the merits of the brilliant Putnam backs and the fighting spirit of the light scrappy line.
 A well executed pass, Cody to Franklin paved the way for the first Putnam score on the five yard line after a run of forty-five yards. Bove tailed with the points on a plunge off right tackle.
