was plentiful.
His song reminds you very much
of that of his cousins, the white
throated sparrows. Many have mis-
taken them. Listen for the clear, soft
whistle, rather sad and more like o
cadence as it floats on the breeze.
The sweetest songs are always sung
in the privacy of the woods. Some
times one or more Of them will decide
to give recital or render q solo in
the middle of the night.
Sparrows are great travellers. They
are extremely sociahle, too. Inspect
closely every group you see at migrat-
ing time. You may see a rare mi
grant.
The nursery is on the ground or in
low bushes. 1t Is made of neighbor-
ing grasses. In Labrador the four or
five pale, greenish blue eggs. plenti-
fully speckled with bay, are laid, one
day apart, the first Of June.
In their well made nursery the
youngsters are fed insects, for baby
birds must have a meat diet. AS they
grow older they will prefer seeds. In
any age they are valuable little
friends and neighbors.

"Shamble. +"

60 ACCUSTOMED are we to seeing
"shamble" used in connection with
a CORY battlefield or other bloody scene
that we may be pardoned the misim-
preston that this is q literal and not
a figurative application.
"Shamble" is a perfect illustration
Of how imagination lends to language
abounding vigor and color, relieving
the deadly monotony of narrow mean
ing, and after successfully running
the gauntlet of purist opposition con-
tributes to our lexicon richness,
imagery, animation.
We have "shamble" from the old
English "schamel," which in turn is
derived from the Latin "scamellum,"
a diminutive of "scamnum, meaning
bench or stool.
"Shamble" then was originally q
bench or stool, and because butchers
particularly used sort Of stool upon
which to cut, chop or saw their
merchandise, the original sense of
"shamble" was extended to take on
the added significance of q place
where butchers meat was sold.
In time this usage was still further
broadened, so that "shamble" was
applied to a place where animals were
slaughtered for meat-and by extern
sion, to the field Of honor, so-called,
where humans are dismembered and
destroyed by shot, shell or gas.
