THE mother partridge or ruffed grouse has
clever trick to which she resorts when her
chicks are too small to fly and they become
threatened by the approach of a man, beast
or predatory bird.
The chicks, little puffs of yellow down, scat
ter at the mother birds first warning note,
running for whatever shelter may be at hand
such as a pile of brush, deadfall, pile of
leaves ferns or other such hiding place. AS the
intruder nears, the mother bird runs slowly
along the ground, dragging wing as though
it were broken. Naturally the marauder, see
ing crippled food at hand starts after the
bird; she runs just fast enough to keep out Of
reach and the speed of the bird on the ground
is almost incredible at times. She dodges,
turns, circles and leads such confusing chase
that in almost no time her pursuer has lost all

Tricky Partridge Sa0es Her Chicks

track of the point at which the chase began.
When she has satisfied herself that her
chicks are safely hidden she makes one last
dash straightaway and then just as her foe
starts to pounce upon her she lifts off the
ground with a drumming of wings startlingly
loud and her pursuer is left far behind.
After a reasonable wait, she returns. to where
she left her chicks No sign of them is to be
found Hunt as one may, the chicks cannot be
found wherever they have hidden they stand
rigidly still and would not move even to avoid
being stepped on.
The mother bird after assuring herself that
all is clear issues a low call and the chicks,
almost under the eyes of watcher, seem to
spring like magic from their hiding places, and
falling in line behind the mother go on about
their brsiness until the approach of another
enemy t-ings a repetition of the process

Whirlbools Caused Legends

l AMY of the superstitions and myths OF
wi early days involving the evil spirits Of the
sea which lay In wait for unwary sailors are
believed to have been built about actual cx-
perienees Of some hapless sailors caught IN the
huge ocean whirlpoos, the largest of which are
the maelstrom in the North Sea and the
Charybdis near Sicily.
From these disasters the ignorant and super
stitious sailors out of their fears and fancies
wove tales of great cavernS in the ocean into
which sea monsters of all sorts drew their
hapess victims The uneven struggle in which
the sails and oars were impotent against the
forces Of the ocean currents easily fed the
imaginations of the sailors and in the telling
and retelling the natural force of the currents
was painted in lurid colors as the malignant
force of some evil destructive monster which
sought human life.

TAKING STEPS TO STOP
SPREAD OF PARROT FEVER
U. S. Interstate Quarantine Reg
ulatiOns Put Into Effect

Because of a fare-up in different
parts of the country of psittacosis,
parrot fever, to give the disease it's
more common name, government au-
thorities are taking steps to prevent
the spread of the disease. U. S. In
terstate Quarantine Regulations,
adopted recently, on the recommend
ton of the United States Public
Health Service, require every inter-
state shipments of parrots, para
keets, love birds or other birds of the
parrot family, to be accompanied by
certificate from the proper health
authorities to the effect that the bird
or birds in the shipment have come
from breeding centers or other dis
tributing establishments that are free
from infection. The regulation was
adopted September % and became eff
fective Immediately.
Warnings of the danger of contract
ing the disease from infected birds
have been issued by the Public Health
Service through DR.. Hugh S. Cum
mings, Surgeon General of the Ser
vice, and the cooperation of the State
Health officers has been requested in
the enforcement of the Interstate reg
ulations. In directing attention to
the warnings, DR.. R. H. Riley, Direc-
tor of the Maryland State Department
of Health, said: "The U. S. Public
Health Service advises all persons to
avoid contact with recently shipped
or acquired birds. Several cases of
parrot fever have been reported re-
Gently to the service, five from Mime
apolis, with one death; and one from
Idaho. Twelve cases, with six deaths,
were reported from California be-
tween December 1 and February 10 of
this year. Cases have also been re-
ported from New York and Oregon.
"Marylanders will recall the out
break of parrot fever during the win
ter of 1929-1930. The earliest cases
and many of the other cases recog-
nized at that time occurred in Mary
land. There were also several cases
in Maryland, as we'll as in other parts
of the country, among laboratory
workers engaged in discovering the
sources of the disease and in finding
means of combating it. DR.. William
Royal Stokes, Chief of the Bureau of
Bacteriology of the Baltimore City
Department of Health, was among the
martyrs of science who lost their lives
in this way.
"The outbreak of 1929-1930 was
widespread. Cases were reported
from fifteen states and the District
of Columbia, total of 1853 cases with
SO deaths. Of the total cases, SO oc-
Cured in Maryland, "a in Baltimore
City and IL in the counties. All of
the cases that winter were traced to
infected birds brought in mainly from
South American ports and sold
through pet shops in different parts of
the country.
GAS result of special study made
recently at the invitation of the Cali
fornia State Department of Health,
by medical officer of the U. S. Pub
lie Health Service, the infection was
found to be present in some of the
breeding aviaries in the southern part
of that State. 1t is believed that par
rots and parrakeets from this source
have probably been one of the impor-
tant means of spreading the disease to
other States"

A merchant in Somerset county

The merchant replied with a check

"Hey, Scoop: wanna know. A
girl married an Irishman-she didn't
know any better. Every evening
when Pat comes home he shoves open
the door, strides straight up to his
wife and busts her in the nose. Could
she get divorce on grounds of in
come-Pat-ability? Huh?
"Well, then a windstorm broke
nearly all the limbs off the trees in a
farmers apple orchard. Now he is
patiently trying to graft the limbs
back. Would it be safe to call that a
tremendous task? HUH"
Anybody that marries one of
those dumb Irish," Jim Kerins stated,
deserves every lick she gets. The
only way she could get divorce
would be through mental incapacity."
Answer No. 2. "I'd call that out
rageous. Anytime something on a
farm breaks a limb, they always
shoot it. And anyhow, grating
