slogan of the American Fedora
tion of Labor today after Vice
President Matthew Woll predicted
Congress would modify the Vol
stead act at the coming short seS-
sion.
Woll declared the federation is
organizing $4,000 local unions in
every State to prevent the impo-
sition of so heavy a Federal tax
on beer as to deny its enjoyment
to working men. He was so con;
fident of the enactment of legal
izing legislation that he urged
the union forces to fight against
over-taxation. He said:
1--WE can say with assurance
of accuracy that modification
Is to be expected in the short
session.
JEALOUS FOR LEGALITY
"A part of our task will be
to see that modification is
adopted in such a form as to
pass review by the courts and
to see that beer is not so heav-
lily taxed as to make mOdifica-
ton in part meaningless. 1t
should provide a tremendous
revenue, but it should not be
taxed so heavily that home
brew will drive it out of the
market.

nOrity that at the most cannot

este turkeys have been found attached to pu-
eblos and cliff dwellings in excavated ruins of
untold centuries ago.
The Spaniards who conquered Mexico found
turkeys, both wild and domesticated, in that
country as early as 1919 and it was no less
person than Cortez's own confessor, Fra Aga
pida, who wrote back to Spain from Mexico the
following '"There is bird, much greater in big
ness than a peacock, that is found within the
forests and vegas all over this country. 1t sur
passes as food any wild bird we have found up
to this time. The natives do shoot these birds
with arrows and catch them in various kinds of
springes and snares.
Specimens of this splendid fowl were almost
Immediately sent back to Spain and the Jewish
merchants, who were the leading dealers in such
commodities at the time, thought they looked
more like peacocks than anything else The
Hebrew word for peacock was 'tukki," from a
Hindu word 'toka," meaning trailing SKIRT"
and these merchants began calling them "tukkis'
or american tukkis." Soon the word ''tukki
became corrupted to turkey" and led to con-
fusion as to their origin, even though they were
of American rather than Turkish nativity.
From Spain the new delicacy from the New
world spread to other parts of Europe and
won instant favor. Turkeys were taken to Persia
by Armenians, and to Batavia by the Dutch. In !.
France-where the turkey was and is, called
"dinde" because they believed it hailed from
Inda-the bird was first served for the wedding
feast of the lively young Charles TX and Eliz-
abeth of Austria Twelve turkeys were consid-
cred fine enough for royal gift from the mer-
chants of Amiens to Charles. By the middle of
the century, England met the bird, and in an
other 20 years it was being plentifully raised
in various sections of Great Britain.
And now comes one of the curious paradoxes
Of history in that this native American" be-
came an immigrant to the shores of his own
land. In 1929 letter written to Governor Endi-
colt in Salem, Mass, by his agents in London
assured him that tame turkies shall be sent
you by the nexte shippe." So in short time
the New England variety of the North Amer
lean wild turkey was being mixed with his part
ly domesticated descendant from Mexico via
England-thus completing a curious 1Oo-year,
round-theworld tour.

1t is probable that not one turkey in thou
sand which will grace the Thanksgiving table
this year will be native wild turkey. For the
original New England wild turkey (Meleagres
Americana) is all but extinct in the part of the
country where he first made his appearance
on that festal board The wild turkey Of today
(Neleagres gallapavo silvestris,) according to
ornithologsts, is found in greatly reduced num-
bers only from Pennsylvania and Ohio south to
the gulf states and west to Arkansas There
Is a smaller variety, the Florida wild turkey,
in that state; in southern Texas Is another, the
Rio Grande turkey and in the Rocky mountain
region, another, Merriam's turkey All modern
domesticated turkeys are derived from the Mex
lean wild turkey (Meleagres Mexicana) of the
earliest days From him comes the exquisite pen
Cling of modern domesticated turkeys
But to get back to why the turkey occupies
such a prominent place on our Thanksgiving
day dinner table-of that first celebration, held
in Plymouth in 1921, Edward Winslow wrote
back to England as follows:
"Our harvest being gotten in. our Governor
sent foure men on fowling, that so we might
after more special manner rejoyce together,
after we had gathered in the fruit of our la
bours; they foure in one day killed as much
fowle, as with little help beside, served the
company almost week, at which time amongst
other recreations we exercised our Armes, many
the rest their greatest King Massasoyt, with
some ninety men, whom for three days we en-
tertained and Toasted, and they went out and
killed FIVE Deere, which they brought to the
Plantation and bestowed on our Governor, and
upon the Captaine (Standish) and Others"
There is no doubt that chief among the
"fowle" at this feast was the native wild tur-
key However, according to Mary Austin, "Our
elevation of the turkey to the place of honor
on the Thanksgiving dinner table is not entire
ly owing to its traditional Importance to the
first American Thanksgiving day; it is trib-
ute to the homemaking instinct of the Puritan
women who made the turkey brood a part of
that association of men and their wild breth-
rem which is inseparable from the human idea
of home. The Indians domesticated the turkey
chiefly for his feathers, which they priced. But
I have no doubt that the English housewife,
arriving chickenless. got her first feeling of
being at home from the brooding cluck Of the
turkey hen about her door,"

NXS% But before proceeding with dis
cussion of the species of fowl who,
once a year, is our national bird, it might not
be amiss to consider the origin Of that typical
" American expression ito talk turkey" If a
certain tradition is to be believed, it had its
origin in an incident which is as typically Amer
lean as is the custom of observing a Thanks
giving day on the last Thursday in November
and making it a feast day of typically- american
edibles, chief of which is the native American
turkey.
Away back in the early days Gust when no
one seems to know in one of the thirteen colo
MES Git cannot be stated positively which one
although from certain aspects of the incident
the suspicion arises that Yankee was one of
the act0rs,) an Indian and white man agreed
to hunt together for a day and then to divide
the spoils. This they did and the division pro-
ceeded agreeably enough until only crow and
q turkey remained.
Thereupon the white man, volubly frank and
seemingly generous in manner, said "Now you
may have the crow and I'll take the turkey;
or I'll take the turkey and you may have the
crow" But the red man was not so easily taken
In by this glib proposal and replied Indignantly
"Huh! Why you no talk turkey to met" And
ever since that time, so says the legend when
person began to dissemble to conceal his real
meaning in a superfiuity of words, to attempt to
'put over" something on another, it became time
for the other to advise him to talk turkey"
l. e. to be straightforward and get down to
business.
Reference was made above to the fact that
once year the turkey is our national bird. It
Is just possible that he might have been our ma
tional bird the other 1854 days-that is, If a sug-
gestion made by jolly old Ben Franklin had been
followed. And thereby hangs the tale Of the
first coins and seals that came from the mint
when the new republic of the United States Of
America was established These were rather
crude affairs and the eagle on them looked very
much like a turkey-and slightly tipsy turkey
at that Whereupon Franklin wrote this COM
ment: II am not displeased that the figure is
not known as bald eagle, but looks more like
a turkey. For in truth, the turkey is in COM
parison much more respectable bird and with

Though little vain and silly, 1t is true, but
not the worse emblem for that bird Of cour-
age and would not hesitate to attack a gren-
adler of the British guards, who should pre-
psume to enter his farmyard with red coat on"
Franklinswas quite right in calling the turkey
a 'true native of America" That he was one
of the authentic first Americans" is proved by
the fact that his bones in fossil deposits show
that he Is Of prehistoric origin and what APP
