cases reported. one patient died.
The cause of the disease is
a germ, the Bacillus psitta-
COSTS, first described in 1893.
The symptoms in the infected
birds are discharge from the
nose, and general droopiness.
In the recent epidemic most Of
the birds came from South
America. Cases were seen in
Cordoba, Argentina, in July,
1929. This city is a center for
the parrot and parrakeet trade.
If the owner fondles one of
these sick birds the disease is
likely to appear in about eight
or ten days. It may start with
a chill and achy feelings, fol
lowed by definite signs Of pneu-
monia and intestinal disturb
ance. The disease lasts about O
month or six weeks. Relapses
occur. 1t does not seem to be
contagious from man to man.
Treatment Of various kinds
seemed to have little or no
effect on the condition. A
serum was prepared and used
in some Of the cases originating
at the Hygienic laboratory, but
without much success.
The lesson is obvious not
to handle, and especially kiss,
your sick pet parrot. Few ami
NAL diseases are transmitted to
man, however, and few human
diseases can be given to ami
mails. tuberculosis is q notable
exception.

CHAPTER VI

It was the eighth day Of the
trial when David Wells took the
stand. The defense took a des-
perate chance putting him thus
into the hands Of the nlerciless
prosecutor, but there appeared
no other alternative, for, unless
David testified In his own be-
half the defense would have no
case at all.
David took the oath with a
clear, calm voice. He sat down,
head up, waiting for the 1irst
question from his counsel. SI1s
eyes shifted first to Grace Var.
ney, seated among the wit
nesses, and then to the matron,
who had risen and was now
standing in front Of the door at
the side Of the court room.
Both Of the women smiled
brayely and then David turned
to face Gerald Waring.
''Will you tell, in your own
words, what happened during
the day Of October ~"
Early In the afternoon I
called my father on the tele-
phone. I faced a situation
which required g. considerable
amount Of money. I explained
that TO my father and asked II !

"It is difficult for me to ex.
plain why I needed that money.
but, because Of what has trans
pired in this court room, the
truth is necessary. The honor
Of a lady depends upon It,"
Dale made no notes through
out David Wells testimony. He
closely watched every action.
David paused for a moment and
gazed with eyes on Grace Var
ney, which begged forgiveness.
Her head slowly bowed and her
hands came up to cover her face
and she sat thus as David went
on.
THE lady is married. All Of
us make mistakes. Her marriage
was one of her mistakes. It
was natural for her to desire to
be free. Her husband agreed to
give her freedom upon only one
condition. She must buy Itr'
The sound Of soft sobbing was
heard above David's low-pitChed
voice. Soundlessly the lnatron

himself and went on.

cred, honorable love. and am
not ashamed. I wanted her to
be free. So the reason went
to see my father was to obtain
the money with which to pUr
chase her freedom, so that we
might be married.
''I was not asking my father
for anything. The Wells dta-
monds which have been spoken

mother to me, to be held in trust

II arrived at his home shortly
after nine-thirty. Boggs showed
me into the study. My father
was alone. I explained to him
just what I have told here. He
made no comment but went to
a small safe and brought out the
jewels. He laid them on his
desk and I thought with a
happy heart. that my mission

"Yes-yes, did" David was

into a frenzy by the pitiiess

prosecutor.

ting interruption took place.
The matron came hurriedly
across the court room. She
faced the Judge.
"Your honor, I want to- speak
I want to explain where Dar
vid was!"
The courtroom was in an up
roar. The judge raped for or.
der. There were arguments be
tween attorneys. Finally this
Judge gave permission for par
vid Wells to step down and
the matron to take the wit
ness stand. The judge was to
question her.
David fought frenziedly
against this. AS the Judge framed
his first question David sprarlg
to his feet and shouted:
stop! You can't question
her! I'll change my plea to
guiltyl" The judge raped.
David continued. "I did It'll"
"The Court refuses TO accept
that plea now. You win re-

David sank to his chair and
then bent forward with his
head upon the table.

lister asked to the matron.
II am David's mother" Again
a hush fell upon the room.
IF you have anything to say
bearing on this case, tell 1t In

"On the night Emory died

did not tell because he was pro.

came to me. You'll never know
what that day meant TO me.
David had found the paper ]
signed. Emory had always kept
it. That was three years ago.
1t was the reason David left
his fathers home.
ST had to tell you where my
boy went the night he left
Emory in his study. He went
to his mothers house. He was
waiting there with the lady
when T arrived home. I could
tell-he hadn't done that ter
rible thing they've accused him
of-a mother can tell. He
would have told mel know ne
would.
"You can't believe he did!"
The lady was becoming a bit
hysterical as she continued.
She rose to her feet and her
arms went out to the judge.
"You couldn't take him away
from me for something he
didn't do-not now, when he's
only just come back to me after
all those terrible, lonely years.
For many moments no one
rose. Then, silently. the audi
ence filed out. There was no
discussion among the reporters
as they departed. ,.y

YANCEY PRAISES
SKILL OF PILOT
Landing at Sea Is Viewed as
Tribute to Expert
Airmanshlp.
BY CAPT. LEWIS A. YANCEY,
Navigator Of the Pilot.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
HAMILTON, Bermuda, April A.
Looking back, believe the feat of our
pilot, William H. Alexander, in making
o perfect landing on the ocean when
there was a heavy ground swell was one
Of the most skillful pieces Of plotting
ever witnessed. Alexander showed ex-
pert airmanship. The danger lay in
the fact that If he had not judged
the swells perfectly they would have
nosed us over.
A very happy spirit was displayed
by the captain of the steamer Lady
Somers, who ran so miles of his course
to see II he could give Us aid. Finding
no trouble, he reported us to Bermuda
as o. K, relieving the tension there. We
were particularly grateful to know that
the Coast Guard was on the job ready
to render service In case 1t was needed.
I believe that the system Of reporting
our position at regular intervals, with
our course and speed, was a good one,
as was demonstrated by the fact that
the Lady Somers found us without diff
dculty.
We are now engaged in overhauling
the ship and engine, and have not
decided definitely whether or not to at
tempt a return fight. The pontoon
fittings on the ship were strained and
required several requirements. This Is
being done now. We are much graft
fed over the Whirlwin engine, which is
In perfect condition, despite the terri
BILE beating 1t took while on the water
on the open sea when it became thor
oughly wet with spray, and by the
extra strain put on it by Alexander In
making the particularly difficult take
of.
If we are successful in finding the
proper equipment to repair the pontoon
fittings, we should be ready for the
return flight in a day or so. In all
probability We will not attempt a non
stop fight back to New York, but will
supply.

Talk on Germany"
RURToN HOLMES, whose Thursday
afternoon travelogues at the Ma

in their quality, chose as his subject
yesterday "Present-day Travel in Ger

pictures that made the two hours and
more pass much too quickly.
Mr.. Holmes, whose far seeing eyes
have explored most every nook and

most happy at being able to take his
audience through and about what he
calls the new Germany" Indeed, the
war disease which left its mark for so
many years on the central thorough
fares of this land was shown to have
been buried amidst a concentrated
effort Of rebuilding. Munich, that IA
mously ancient music capital, in which

whose wide "aisles" seem broader than

From Munich Mr.. Holmes took his
adniring audience to such beautiful

landmarks as the old clock (Which, for
some reason, Mr.. Holmes neglected to
show, and which is every bit as inter-
esting as the one in Munich). There
were excursions also to the much paint
