Western Tanager.
Piranga ludoviciana,

Piranga ludoviciana.
I'D you know that the tanagers
and flnches are related? The
tanagerS are true Americans.
~ The males are we'll known
for their brilliant plumage,
with dull coloring worn by the females
1t seems impossible that the two be-
long together. OF course, we know
that the mother must have on drab-
looking garments in order not to at
tract attention TO her nest. Her beau
tifully clothed husband fits about the
evergreen trees like ball of flame
The Western tanager was first seen
by the Lewis and Clark expedition in
1909 in Idaho. For some time the
lovely bird was so abundant that you
often saw him fitting about the trees
along the roadside. Then it became
the style for ladies to wear these ex-
QuiSite birds on their hats. So many
were killed to supply the demand that
steps had to be taken to protect the
lovely singers.
They must have decided that their
safety depended upon seclusion. They
are now to be found in the deep woods
and forests. Here they seek the tall
est trees in which to build and sing.
In the cool forest streams they bathe,
and here you may enjoy their song all
through the Summer.
To many the song is like that Of
the robin or groSbeak, only much
sweeter. Their singing is apparently
a rite among them. First there are
two notes and a pause, another two
notes and longer pause. The group
is composed of three notes with pauses
in between and ended with one sweet
note. Pretty cher-rie, cher, RE, rie,
cher" Have you heard it?
The Western tanagers are found In
Maine. Massachusetts,, Connecticut,
New York, Louisiana, Wisconsin and
Minnesota. They raise their families
from Southwestern South Dakota and
the eastern base of the Rock Noun
tains to the Pacific Coast, also north
of the United States. They Winter in
Central Mexico and have been seen
in the New England States during
migration.
The male tanager has q throat and
head of exquisite red with an orange
tint. His rump and underparts are a
beautiful yellow, and his wings, tail
and back are black. His spouse re-
sembles her cousin. the scarlet tanager,
except that she has yellow and white
wing bars and more yellow on her
head.
The nest Is anchored to horizontal
branch of an evergreen tree. 1t is
usually about 80 feet from the ground.
The wee cradle looks like fragile af-
fair and is very small, not over IA
inches on the outside, the bassinet
about 2 inches. The outside is con-
structed of rootlets and grass and the
interior Is made comfortable with
horse hair.
In this little nursery there are from
three to five greenish blue eggs laid.
They are sprinkled with grayish brown
specks about the larger end.
The mother does most Of the build
ing and all of the brooding. Father

- ~ ing to bed now?'
~ There is a 3year- boy
4 \ who sometimes asks this
question at the breakfast
table; and he also asks, from time to
time, What are the people in Europe
doing now?"
This little fellow is interested in
what he has heard about the sun
shining on one part of the earth while
another part is dark.
1t is the sun which gives us the
key to changes of time on our old
earth. The sun keeps on shining, day
and night, but the earth twists around
and around. The place where you
live is lighted by the sun during
portion of each day, but there are
other hours in which it is overspread
by darkness.
The same story takes place all over
the earth, except in the frigid zones
where readers of this newspaper do
not live-and at a given moment the
folk of one place are asleep while
those of another are enjoying the
sunshine.
Let us suppose that man in New
York is eating an early breakfast. At
the same time people in London and
Paris will be eating lunch. The folk
of India and China will be finishing
the work of the day. perhaps eating
the evening meal. In Australia the
people will be going to bed, and in
San Francisco all except early risers
will be deep in slumber
Just little more than so years ago
it was the custom for people of differ
ent places to go by local time" When
the sun was at the highest point on

Pulling Strings"

WE ARE all familiar with the ex-
w preston pulling strings" or
pulling the strings" to indicate exer-
cising control while remaining anony-
nous or out Of sight. The words are
perhaps most popular in the parlance
of politics where their implication is
the opposite to above-board methods.
The history of the expression at
once brings to mind of course the
Punch and Judy show, where the
ventriloquist achieves his effects by
pulling the strings" But the saying
is an old one, its first recorded use
being an auspicious one. For 1t takes
us to that ancient classic. the "Medi-
tations" of Marcus Aurelius. There
We find, in TX 50:
Remember that what pulls the
strings is the force hidden within;
therein lies the power to persuade,
there the life-there, II one must
speak out, the real man"

Much of this trouble was taken

much of the credit for bringing about
this new system In 1878 he proposed
that the earth be divided into "a

There was much talk about the

Summer Squash.

Cut into small pieces. remove the
seeds and fiber. and wash and steam
or boil Summer squash until tender.
Season with butter, salt and pepper
Yellow crookneck squash should be
cut in slices, seeds and fiber removed,
and cooked as directed above. If the
skin appears tough. pare the squash
before cooking; if tender enough to
be pierced easily with your finger nail,
pairing is not necessary. Because of
its watery texture. Summer squash
is better steamed than boiled; also.
because it is rather insipid. it requires
a rather generous seasoning.

IOUE got a head start by ap-
pearing in the January open
ings as a trimming adjunct in
the early Spring fashions.
Since then it has branched
out. both in color and weave, so that
Summer finds it one of the leading
favorites for sports and spectator
wear.
The model sketched has jaunty
air of real distinction. Instead OF
using shoulder bows (which, on the
whole. are impractical because they
soon become mussed). the designer has
closed the open shoulder seam Will
buttons that go through bound but
tonholeS made in tabs, that extend
over from the back, and which are
cut in one with it. This arrange
ment leaves the outer part open, as
in a slashed sleeve. Pockets, similar
" treated, are an interesting feature
of the skirt
This model is one of the fashion
headliners for Summer. 1t gives
note of variety to wardrobes that are
topheavy with shirtvaist frocks. The
lines of it are slenderizing-the skirt
extends above normal in front. so that
surplus gathers are controlled by the
diagonal joining, leaving the waistline
neat and trim. 1t has no pleats, the
flare being sufficient to give needed
fullness Two necklines are available
in it-one cut normally, the other a
modified sunback, either in good
taste.
Among the Summer wash materials
we recognize many designs and weaves
that drew inspiration from the fab
RIGS familiar to us in other fields.
Colorful plaid table linen is being
initiated for play suits, horse busters
of the old fashioned variety. showing
