seemed to be less of a motivating fac

Familiar Common Robin
Is Migratory Thrush h

in Alaska, while others are content to
remain in North Carolina for the
Summer. When the migrating robins
reach their Summer quarters they join
the stay-at-homes on the sunny side
of some bit of woods, and there they
remain until the nesting season, when
they come out Of retirement and make
their presence known on our lawns
and in our orchards.
They build their nests out Of coarse
grass, leaves and rootlets, with an in
ner wall of mud, and line it with fine,
soft grass. The nest Is usually built In
a fruit or shade tree and may be any
where from 5 to 80 feet above the
ground. The mother robin lays three,
four or five eggs Of a greenish-blue
color.
When the young birds have Matched
and grown large enough to take care
of themselves, their parents start a
second family; and while mother is
caring for her second brood Of young
sters. father starts going out evenings
with his male friends and his older
children. The adult males and the
nearly grown young of both sexes roost
in low trees in considerable numbers
while the second brood of young is be-
ing cared for by the females. Early
in September, when the younger chill
dren are large enough to fly, the robins
gather in hocks and prepare to go
south again,

Cornstalk Fiddle Adds Novelty
To Amateur Musicians Tunes
Bv Ray J. Marian.

THIS novel music maker should be
In the equipment Of every anna
teur orchestra which specializes in
popular music, especially "hill-billy"
tunes. The weird, screechy tones that
can be produced with one Of these
cornstalk fiddles will make mountain
music" just like fiddler from away
up thar"
Both the bow and the fiddle are
made from sections Of cornstalk. Sc
lect as long a section as possible, then
split the stalk between the section
divisions so as to form four strings Of
the fiber for the fiddle and one or
more strings for the bow. Raise these
strings from the remaining part Of the
section with small blocks Of wood for
bridges.
Splitting the sections into strings
can easily be accomplished with q
sharp pocket knife. The tough fiber
Of o thoroughly dry cornstalk will
allow very thin whiting when shap-
ing the strings. Apply a heavy coat
ing regular violin rosin to both the
bow and the fiddle.

Yeah" said Big Pete sarcastically,
"and maybe he wouldn't! That's why
I've kept this under my hat. If you
leave his precious ball team in the
lurch, he'll be plenty sore. But after
all, you can't consider him at time
like this. He'd fire you in minute II
you didn't make good for him"
Fifteen minutes later Big Pete
stopped the car and let Buddy out in
front Of his home. Mr.. Graham had
explained all the details of the pro-
posed arrangements, and Buddy had
promised to let him have his decision
not later than 9 o'clock the following
morning.
Buddy literally ran up the walk,
almost bursting with the news, and
eager to tell it to his mother and
father. But Mr.. Long was sitting on
the porch, reading the evening paper,
and when Buddy saw him, his step
suddenly faltered, and wave Of dis
may flooded over him.
Hello, Buddy, said Mr.. Long.
"Who were those men in the carp"
big Pete and friend Of his" said
Buddy. They brought me home from
the field"
THEN without another word he
rushed inside, and hurried up the
stairs as the screen door slammed be-
hind him. He went into his own
room, shut the door, and sank down
upon the bed.
His father! While talking to Mr..
Graham and Big Pete, he had forgot
ten all about his father, and the sit
uation at the Hemstead Machine Co.
Suppose he accepted Mr.. Graham's S
offer, and quit his job without giving
notice, to go and play ball for Coles
burg. Big Pete was right-Mr. Hem
stead would be furious. It might even
mean that his beloved ball team would
lose the pennant in the Intercity
League.
And what would Mr.. Hemstead do?
Naturally, his resentment would be
taken put on Buddy's father. And
right now there was an efficiency ex-
pert at the plant, and they were plan
ming on firing couple Of the men
In the engineering department! II

Of holding his job II Buddy quit.

both birds will I'LL it with dead grass
II there is a pile Of this material on

Start now to feed them "egg food, "
which can be bought at the dealers or
made at home by grating fine hard
boiled egg and mixing crumbled toast

to the regular seed, fresh water and
grit. Soon the first egg will appear.
Take 1t away and all that follow 1t,
until the hen canary begins to go
broody and set on the last egg laid,
then return those you have taken
away and let her incubate the entire
nestful. Taking the eggs prevents the
cock from eating them, as he some
times will, and also makes all the
little fellows hatch about the same
time.
If the eggs are left in the nest, they
will be incubated q little as the hen
lays each day, and 50 some Of them
viii hatch sooner than others. With
big birds in the nest, the smaller ones
do not get enough to eat and are likely
to die.
In 13 days, canary eggs hatch tiny,
bare, blind bits Of life that are fed
by the mother until they are able to
care for themselves at three weeks OF
age. BY that time the mother will
want to lay again, and she may pluck
feathers from her own young to give
her nesting material il you do not

Useless Cermicide Hit.

Federal Judge Lederle sitting at
Detroit, Mich, fined a disinfectant
manufacturer the limit Of the law
recently for selling a germicide. which
was practically worthless. The Judge
in imposing $500 fine declared in
rather scathing tones that the SEN
tence was entirely inadequate for the
violation involved.
The germicide was for use in schools,
hospitals and theaters as well as other
places Of public gathering.
It was found upon examination to
have about IL per cent of formalde-
hyde with the balance Of the mixture
water, phenolic compounds and very
nice perfume. It was so weak that
when used undiluted It was found in

~ NE of the most familiar of our
1 wild friends, especially If we
\ live in small towns or sub
~ urbs, is the robin (planesticus
migratorius). Is there any one living
east Of the Rocky Mountains who does
not know what he looks like? And
yet We really don't know much about
him, after all-he is too common,
taken too much for granted. for US to
pry into his private affairs and find
out how he lives.
To most Of us the robin is the herald
Of Spring. In many places, however,
this Is not necessarily true. It would
be much better to leave the business Of
announcing the coming Of sunny days
to the bluebird, because some robins
stay all Winter as far north as Central
Kansas, the Ohio River Valley and
New Jersey. OF course, the farther
south one goes in the Winter, the more
robins he will find. Some Of them
pass the cold months as far south as
Nuevo Leon, in Mexico.
In Florida in December and January
you can find them in very large focks,
mostly spending their days looking for
berries, of which their favorites grow
on the holly, nlistletoe and china tree.
WHEN Spring comes, they get an
w attack Of wanderlust and start
north, some of them not stopping until
they reach the northern limit Of trees

similar carbon disc, but the front is
left free to tremble with the ubra-

small grains of carbon.
When the vocal cords send ones

the vibrations Of the upper carbon

The carbon, you see, is used as the
conductor of a current which Is only
waiting for q bridge to complete the
circuit over which 1t travels. When
1t Is compact 1t is good bridge or
connection-and ON goes the current.
The current, flowing stronger or
weaker according to the vibrations Of

reaches a magnet in the receiver, to
which the wires are attached. At the
other end Of the magnet is a thin
metal disc. held in place by the pull
Of the magnet. When the wires bring

magnet pulls harder and less hard, in
quick succession, making the disc vi
brate exactly as the carbon disc In the

same speed.
The vibrations Of the receiver disc

Summons to Bath
Was Responsible
For Church Bell

EoR nearly 400 years, the Christians
= Of the Roman Empire were not
allowed to worship openly. They held
their meetings in the underground
passages Of the Catacombs, and were
IN constant fear of punishment.
However, when the Emperor Con-
btantine became a Christian, the peo-
ple were allowed to meet in buildings
above ground. Before this time, hand
bells had been used to summon people
TO the public baths, and now the same
bells were used to summon them to
prayer.
The Bishop Of Nola, in the city Of
Campania, is credited with the idea Of
hanging the first large bell on top OF
the meeting house so that every one
could hear it. We have become ac-
customed to bells Of all sorts, and 1t
Is hard to imagine time when they
played only a small part In the daily
lives of the people of olden times.

Mr.. Graham took the cigar
from his mouth and turned to
u Buddy with a quizzical smile.
"Well. son." he said, big Pete
seems to think you're quite q ball
player. He tells me you're a good
prospect-and I'm interested in good
prospects right now, especially in
good infielder"
"Aw," said Buddy, II guess I'm not
much good compared with the kind
of players you're used to. But I'd
rather play ball than eat!"
IT doubt that" laughed MIR. Gra-
ham. mo kid your age would rather
do anything than eat. How old are
you?"
Seventeen"
Hmm. Pretty young. But you
looked good out there this afternoon.
Do you always handle yourself like
that?"
Big Pete broke in before Buddy
could reply. Hes hit around 400
in the Intercity League this Summer,
and his fielding average is the best in
the league"
Mr.. Graham took a long puff Of
his cigar. Where did you learn to
play?" he inquired.
"I've played on the high school
team for two years." Buddy replied.
Before that, I guess just picked it
up, fooling with the fellows"
Hmm" Mr.. Graham was silent
- for a moment. Then he peered
narrowly at Buddy. What do you
intend to do? Would you like to be
a professional ball player? Would a
job on a big league team interest you
If you could make the grade even
tually?"
Would it," Buddy's voice was full
of awe. "Gosh!"
well, look here" said Mr.. Graham,
his voice crisp and businesslike. my
job is rounding up young talent for
Colesburg. AS you may know, that
team is owned by the New York Blues,
and used as a farm to season rockies
who later get a chance with the Blues.
"You probably read in the papers
that Maitland, Blue shortstop, broke
his leg two days ago. sliding into sec
ond. The Blues needed a shortstop
so they drafted our best inflelder, and
now we need shortstop there, bad!
Big Pete had written me about you,
so ran over to look you over.
Maybe I'm using snap judgment,
| but you look good to me, and I count
a lot on Big PeteS recommendation.
So I'm asking you if you'd be inter-
ested in throwing over your job here,
and coming to Colesburg to play ball. "
Buddy let long breath Of sheer
amazement escape from his rounded
lips. "Gosh!" he faltered. This Is
pretty sudden"
"I know it is" said Mr.. Graham.
And it's got to be. We need short
stop, and We need him right away. I
have couple of others in mind, and
I have to act fast. Sorry can't give
you a lot Of time to think 1t over, but
that's the way it is"
You mean-you mean I've got to
decide right now?"
Well" said Mr.. Graham, "I could
probably wait until morning. AS far
as the money Is concerned, we
wouldn't pay you whole lot, but it
would be more than you're getting on
your present job. And If you made
good, you'd get couple Of years sea-
soning with Colesburg, and then have
a shot at big league ball. And not
many kids get that at your age
