Boss, this is no one mans job,"
Barnes explained.
Barnes and Bowles entered the lab

Bowles came out again, carrying eight
victims.
six on the window shade and two in
the corners" said Barnes.
The doctor waved them weakly
toward the door, mopped his brow and
tried to concentrate on a case history.
The window curtains near his desk
began to f1utter mysteriously. He dove
for the telephone.
Bats And more batsI' he screamed.
AS If in answer to his words bat
swooped forth and tapped eeriely
against the screen.
Barnes and Bowles came on the run.
They found DR.. Benjamin looking de-
cidedly narrowed. AS for the bats, there
were five hanging on the curtain rod.
Adopting new tactics, Barnes tipped
the curtain over them like net and
brought the whole flock down.
Search every inch of this place." the
doctor ordered Barnes and Bowles went
at it with the sagacity Of experienced
bat hunters.
Not a one in sight," they reported.
Machine Is Lure.
The doctor settled down to the large
task of regaining his composure. But
naturally he started to speculate on the
cause of the weird visit.
One window had been left slightly
open at the top, and unscreened, when
he last closed the Office. But why
should the bats pick on his Office when
there were scores Of others with similar
openings?
He wandered from room to room and
in the laboratory came on what seemed
the logical explanation.
His centrifuge, revolving, cylindri-
cal machine used to Segregate solid par
ticles in blood specimens, was whirring
away merrily-left running by mistake
the night before and unnoticed in the
excitement Of the day. He listened.
The machine made rhythmic, swish
ing noise, like the soft beating Of bats
wings.
DR.. Benjamin turned of his artificial
bat lure in hurry, and promptly
adopted several strong resolutions about
keeping it off at night
This morning when the reporter went
to investigate rumors of this tale, DR.
Benjamin summoned Bowles to give
details of the slaughter
"Twenty-six of them Twenty-six,
all told" the doctor exclaimed, when
Bowles had finished.
'Nun-uuh," said Bowles, grabbing up
a broom and making an expert pass in
the direction of the window Twenty
seven!"

C.E. Judd Weds Japanese Girl
PUBLISHER MARRIEs FORMER G. W. U. COED.

- Asst and West joined hands last
- night when George E. Judd, 26-
year-old Washington publishing
house president, and Kimi
Tsunoda, 22-year-old japanese
graduate of George Washington Uni
versity, were married at Cambridge,
Mass.

weller, having succeeded to the head of
that publishing house on the death of
his father, George H. Judd, the BRIDE
groom devotes most Of his energies to
his extensive orange groves in Florida.
His Washington home is at 34l1 Massa-
chusetts avenue.
The bride is the daughter Of Prof.
r. Tsunoda. instructor at Harvard and
Columbia universities. She received the
degree of bachelor of arts from George
Washington University here last Feb
ruary.
The marriage last night was a cul-
mination Of a romance which began
three years ago, when Mr.. Judd and
Miss Tsunoda were students at Column
bia University. The ceremony, per-
lOEIHeO dG IIlS raCulLy CluD IN cam
bridge by Rev. DR.. T. c. Porter. a mis-
sionary friend Of the brides family, rep
resented the defeat not only Of the bar
riers which Kipling has said separate
East and West. but also the Massachu-
sets f1ve-day law concerning marriage
intentions and the plans of Prof.
Tsunoda to return his daughter to
Japan.
Hearing that Miss Tsunoda was to re-
turn to Japan Wednesday with her
father. Mr.. Judd Travelled from Florida
to Massachusetts,, where he proposed
yesterday to the japanese girl He was
accepted, and when the couple sought
a marriage license they were confronted
with the law requiring couples to file
intentions to wed five days before the
ceremony. They obtained a waiver, how
ever, and the ceremony was performed
with the brides father and few friends
as witnesses.
Mrs. Judd said she would return to
japan with her father, as originally
planned, but would rejoin her husband
when her father goes back to Colum-
bia University.
? The active administration Of the Judd
& Detweiler firm here is conducted by
John H. Davis, vice president and gen.

Sadder and Hungrier Bird
BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

- OSSIPS have plenty to talk
about these hot days along the
II main street OF Washington's
~ birddom-the bird house at
the Zoo.
The town Simpleton, the boat-bill
from the Upper Amazon, seems to have
acquired a grain of intelligence. Three
months ago he was placed in the big
flight cage Promptly he stationed him
self at the foot Of the artificial water
fall, sharp bill hoisted and waited
patiently for fish or frog to come down
the stream for his dinner.
Every day for nearly three months,
according to DR.. william M. Mann, Zoo
director, he has repeated the procedure,
taking his station at the foot Of the
waterfall at daybreak and remaining
there until dark. That was his way of
getting a dinner in his native wilds,
DR.. Mann says, and he couldn't break
himself of the habit. He was unable to
discern any difference between an arti-
fetal and a real waterfall. But during
the past few days he apparently has
grasped the fact that he has been max
ing a fool of himself and has deserted
his post.
Scandal in Ibis Home.
The chief topic of the bird gossips
is the scandalous mesalliance between
the scarlet ibis, perhaps the most gor-
geous and aristocratic of American
birds, and her plebian cousin, the white
ibis. They have a newborn baby,
black and brown ibis, who may be some
other color when he grows up. 1t Is
the first instance of any such cross,
according to DR.. Mann.
Father and mother take turns feeding
the youngster. They shove bits of food
clear down its throat with their long
bills Some time must elapse before 1t
is able to feed itself.
Then there are the new neighbors,
those terrible Sumatran hornbills. Mrs.
Hornbill seems to be such nice some
body that the bird gossips can't under
stand how she can live with anybody
with such a reputation as her husband.
Thus far he has been respectable
enough, but the facts about him can be
verified from any natural history book
When his wife is anticipating an in
crease in the family she retires to con-
venient hole in log and lays her eggs.
While she Is incubating them her hus-
band walls her in with mud, leaving
only small hole to admit air. Through
this hole he passes her food when the
spirit moves him. She Is released only
when the chicks are Matched.
1t is habit which may have proved
valuable in protecting her from enemies
during the incubating period, but the
gossips all agree that nobody else would
stand for such treatment. Mrs. Horn
bill comes out Of her prison In a very

into his Office, at Seventeenth
and 1 streets, in better than

had gone completely batty.
The moment he opened the door 1t

There were scratches on his shiny

sprawled about and the room was
wildly disordered.
'Rats!" said the doctor, his genial
mood vanishing before he could say its

fattened out and motionless. They
looked as if they were dead. DR.. Ben
janin returned to the consultation
room to ponder the disposal of the
corpus deficit. When he went back
one of the bats was gone.
Hmm" the doctor said, sensing a
bat hunt.
Them, Not Him.
He closed the door cagily and hurried
for reinforcements. They arrived in
the person of Milton Barnes, colored
doorman Of the Office building; two
brooms and a stout stick.
Right in there. Barnes" DR.. Ben
jamin directed, pointing to the labora-
tory door Kill him"
Them" Barnes corrected, as he
peered around the coroner of the door
and saw three unfriendly looking bats
parked on the window ledge.
Barnes stepped into the room, broom
and stick in hand. The door closed
behind him. Dr. BENJAMIN sat in the
consultation room and listened angiously
to the thrashing and banging next
door 1t lasted longer than he had ex-
pected.
Then Barnes emerged.

away"
Barnes left with his kill. DR.. Benja-
min set about his morning laboratory
work. Suddenly something zoomed by
his ear.
"Bats!" he shouted, without looking
up to confirm his opinion, and ran to
the telephone on his desk.
"Batsl" he called to the operator

Barnes came post haste. With him
was William BowleS, colored assistant
janitor, armed with solid cudgel.
