Zoo GossiPs Jeer Newcomer

"HE parrots, cockatoos, macaws
and other Zoo gossips got a
big laugh out of the rhinoc-
eros hornbill which arrived
this morning.
"Ha. ha, ha," they screeched, "ha,
ha, hal"
Get a load of that nose!" they
might have been saying. She's the
ugliest bird in the world"
Nor was the rhinoceros hornbill's
home life above reproach. She is
such a gadabout that in her native
African jungle her husband has to
lock her in to make her look after
the children.
Perhaps the gossips didn't know it,
but when Mrs. Rhinoceros Hornbill
sets about Matching her eggs in the
Hornbill hollow tree residence, the
husband walls her in with mud and
gl ass.
He only leaves enough of window
to permit his wife to thrust her bill
through for food. The breadwinner
and domestic jailer attends his pris-
oner faithfully, and once the children
have Clipped from their shells, he
liberates them all by hammering away
with his great beak at the mud wall.

But Ralph was too quick for him.
He grabbed the robbers arm and

Still, in the opinion of this COM
