Parachute Falls In
RiUer; TwO Speed
To Rescue

A chance to stage a rescue act
was denied two members of the
Corinthian Yacht Club today
when a parachute from Boiling
Field fell in the Potomac
River not far from the club.
The two men, Albert Scott
and Albert Seeley, jumped into
a boat and rowed to the rescue
only to discover that it was
test "chute" and that no one
was drowning.
Anyway they rescued the
parachute.

Bird Houses

THE wild birds just as much your pets as
! canary in his cage at home. The only
difference is that the wild birds are owned by
you Jointly with every one else.
You can easily bring more birds around
your home and make them tame. They'll come
where they have food, water for drinking and
bathing and protection from their enemies.
Bird houses provide them with fine nesting
sites and encourage them to stay Once other
birds find that one group is safe and thriving,
they'll come hocking in to share the food and
shelter.
In putting up bird houses you should be care
full to use the right kind of house and to set
them where birds would actually look for
nesting place. Too many houses are foolshly
nailed in open places at the end of poles and
posts where only limited number of birds
would to live.
Make the color and shape of the house fit
into the background of the place where it is

Bird Stitches Nest

ONE of the smartest of the small birds Is
~ the so-called tailor bird, which actually
sews a shelter together for its nest. The bird,
about the size of a warbler, is native to India,
Ceylon and China 1t usually makes its nest
among leaves at the end of twigs Of trees.
When q single leaf is large enough the edges
are sewn together while if the leaves are smaller
several are drawn together. The leaves form
q shelter within which the nest proper is con-
structed.
The sewing Is accomplished through the
use OF the bill as pierce. Small holes are
made; in the leaves, and through these, fiber
or grass is drawn. the edges of the leaves thus
being united and ssecured. esac

than gaudy color. Set the house where the
leaves will shield its entrance and keep the
sun from heating the interior. Along the
trunk OF tree, near crotch, is a good place
for the cylindrical houses for the woodpeckers,
fickers and similar species.
Remember that birds will not use house
that really forms a trap where vermin can
enter and devour the inmates before they can
escape.
Keep wandering cats off your place during
the nesting season, even you do not forbid
their trespassing at other times Wandering
cats are the worst destroyers of birds. Dogs
are not as bad but they need watching. Espe-
cially bird dogs.

victory in order to stay in the championship
race. Tt was tight game. with the teams
going into the seventh inning %. In that
inning Carpenter got two men on base with
two out. and Murphy was the next batter.
Knowing that Murphy was not too reliable, the
coach sent Buzz il to hit for him.
Buzz waited out the pitcher until he had two
strikes and three balls, then looped long

Excitement rose in Carpenter during the next
week. and every one hoped that the team
would come back from Chelten with victory

tering particularly on the junior-senior dance,
which would be held on the Saturday night
after the Chelten game. Fran. being only a
sophomore. had little hope of getting an invita-
ton, although Buzz insisted he would rather
take her than any other GIRL Fran scoffed at
that idea and Buzz finally invited one of his
classmates.
Mary Sumner being also sophomore, had
little chance of being invited to the dance, but
that didn't keep her from hoping.

kept him in the lineup because of his ability
with the bat. finally took him out and began
to play Murphy at second.
You mustn't give up. Buzz" said Fran
earnestly, as Buzz remarked despairingly that
all their practice was useless-that he could
never get away from his fear of vicious
bounder coming straight for his face. You're
really improving lot, and If we just keep at
it you'll overcome that fear sooner or later"
So they persisted, and every morning the
practice session was held. Fran was getting
cleverer and cleverer with her bat that she
could drive balls at Buzz that were as tricky
and vicious as any he ever got in game.
Carpenters hopes of winning the champion
ship had been dashed to earth by the Chelten
defeat in the second league game of the season,
but the end of school approached and they
defeated all the other league teams the players
began to hope that they might beat Chelten in
the return game, and so earn at least tie for
first place Then suddenly lucky break re-
vived their hopes of winning undisputed claim
to the championship. Chelten's star southpaw
developed a sore finger. and with another
pitcher in the box Chelten lost game to Der
nison, the third place team in the league. This
left Chelten and Carpenter tied with one defeat
each, and the final meeting of the two teams
would decide the race, provided neither lost
another game in the meantime.
