Then, uttering q sharp cry, he comes
darting swiftly to the earth and lands
almost at her feet. He Is soon of again
or he varies his entertainment with q
Jig. If she is properly impressed, she
accepts him and they 60 away to find q
building site. They are far more In
terested In each other than in con-
struction activities, and a more shift
less nursery could hardly be found. A
few leaves are gathered and placed at
the foot Of stump. Four buff-colored
eggs, spotted with reddish brown, are
laid on the leaves, and ~ days later
fluffy little long-billed chicks are de-
manding food.
It is claimed that the mother, know
ing her children must learn to hunt for
their own worms, takes her infants be-
tween her thighs and transports them
to the early skunk cabbage patch, where
tender ferns and many little buglets
may be found. Holes are often so close
together as to make the soft black
soil look like a sieve.
In August the woodcocks leave the
wet bogs and 60 to the corn fields to
shed their Summer clothes. At this
time they are helpless, as they cannot
lift their heavy bodies until they are
again well feathered. The new Winter
garments are gray, brown and black
above, with under parts of reddish and
purplish spots decorating the back.
When flushed the woodcock pretends
it is wounded and trails its legs behind
it. then with few whistles of its wings
drops to the ground and freezes"
The cock O the wood is an insect
and grub hunter. He deserves protec-
tion and little appreciation on the
part of sportsmen even, as there are
few birds more interesting than this
one.

tumn leaves about them.
They travel South at night, and as
they are nocturnal they are also able to
see in the dark the millions of grubs
and worms which come to the surface
at night. When hunting the woodcock
sinks his sensitive bill to the nostrils.
The upper half of the bill is flexible at
the tip and works independently. 1t
probes about and soon wriggly worm
is drawn forth Having to seek his food
in this fashion, he is at the mercy Of
his enemies to some extent. But his
eyes are placed at the back of his head,
and while his beak is in the ground the
eyes are scanning the landscape for
possible foes.
At courting times his antics are re-
markable Approaching the little wood
hen belle, he says "Peenk, peenk," in
terpreted meaning stand by"
As stunt f1ier he has no equal. He
begins his performance with a spiral
fight, then zigzag one, and as he
mounts into the sky the wind whistles
through his short, stiff wings. The
higher he goes, the louder the whistle.

Gayety's $ Show Is
Rated Winner

You'll have to chalk up another
winner for Jimmy Lake, who pre-
sents Ryan's wine Lassies" at
his Gayety Theater all this week.
The show is combination of
good looking girls, talented princi-
pals, a funny comedian, and the
prettieSt chorus to have shown on
Ninth Street for many months.
Billy Hagen, droll comic, be-
comes funnier and funnier as the
time wears on. His partner, Harry
Bently, has his moments, but can
not compare with Billy.
It's a rare occasion when
burlesque fans are offered such
pleasing feminine favorites as
Connie Fanslau, Mary Noel, Mary
Joyce, and Tangara, on one bill.
Connie, chuck full of personality
and the will to please, makes q
real hit. Mary Noel possesses the
rare combination Of beauty and
talent. Besides being able to sing
and dance, she Is a skilled violin
list. The other Mary, a blond
singer and dancer, gets many an
encore, and Tangara'S willowy
dance numbers wins her a real
following.
The dance specialties of Stewart
and Gardner, the singing and
footwork of Milt Bronson, and
Charles Harris vocal offerings
and straight bits helped to bal
ance the entertainment. And, in
cidentally, don't miss the young,
good looking chorus, which Is
equally as well-trained as last
