is most essential to keep the plumage
free from dust and parasites that lodge
too close for comfort.
Parrots have neshy tongues. and they
do not use them for talking. They
speak through the larynx They learn
to reproduce word soun6s In their right
sequences. but, Of course, do not know
their meaning. Talking parrot fashion
has been practiced by many and is not
confined to these birds only. After nv-
ing with man. the parrot loses all In
terest in his former food. He will steal
sweets at every opportunity and de-
mands food from every passerby. With
the proper care these birds live to be
well over hundred and 1t Is not an
uncommon thing to have the bird men
toned in will: and in some instances
the parrot has been handed" down to
several generations.
To this tribe belong the macawS,
cockatoos, parrokeets and lovebirds
All Of them take kindly to captivity,
learn to sing, whistle and talk. They
become part of the family and take
great delight in tormenting dogs and
cats who are also members Of the hollse-
hold. Many amusing stories are told
about them. some true. others wicked,
all finding a ready, interested audience.

only birds that hold their fruit in their

DANUBE STATES EXPECT FARLEY
 TO BULL D AMITY
Looking Forward, Hoping for Mu C h Good at
 Lausanne Conference

VIENNA, June 6.-The Danube States look forward to the Lau- same Preparations Conference as an opportunity for the long-delay- ed naturalization of a Franco German rapproachement, raj h CT than cash conference directly affecting government budgets
 All these countries, however, are decidedly interested in the possi- bility of a Franco-G German under standing. They are unanimous in the opinion that there is slim hope for a general recovery in South eastern Europe until the great powers agree among themselves.
 Jugoslavia, however, is in no mood to surrender her stake in reparations payments, which this year would amount to nearly $20,- 100000. She protested vigorously against the Hoover moratorium and feels that her objections were rather brutally ignored.
 Switch Indicated
 These reports were seized upon by some observers as indicating switch from French influence in the Little Entente, made up of Czechoslovakia, Rumania and Jugo- slavia. The attitude of Czechoslo- vakia toward the Tardieau scheme for Danubian cooperation also was widely interpreted as evidence of a swing away from French leader ship.
 Even more interesting to those who think the Little Entente is breaking away from France was an editorial in the Government pa- per in Bucharest ascribed to the pen of Prime Minister Jorga. It deplored a lately "materialistic trend" in Europe which inclined to saddle Rumania with obliga- tions incompatible with her dignity and interests"
 This provoked considerable com ment and resulted in a second edi- torial, stressing that the first edi- torial wasn't an attack on a French financial mission then in Bucharest, but merely as disapproval of any plan to restore the Austro-Hun garian empire"
