If RR were any kind of a tin

whatever it is you have to be to
do such things, he would attempt
to duplicate for his automobile the
latest wrinkle in homemade cool
ing systems. 1t was noticed on a
motor car parked near the corner
of Sixth and Main streets t'other
day. Like a wind wing ON the
forward part of the right door
was the doo-jigger, burlap draped
over the opening and a water
tank provided to drip water down
the burlap. Otherwise the car was
all shut up. RR does not know
how it works, but the theory seems
to be a good one-if only there
were a windmill outside the affair
to lit the water back up into the
tank once it runs down the bur
lap.

That was the beginning Of such .
noisy rumpus in the Old Orchard.
Such screaming as there was, espe-
cially on the part of the Sparrows.
They are noisy at best. Then, too,
they dearly love fight. 1t is their
nature. They wouldn't enjoy living
in peace with their neighbors. OF
course as long as Mrs. Bully remained
in that house there was no getting
possession of it by the Bluebirds. No
one knew this better than did Mrs.
Bully. So not once did she leave 1t.
She sat in the doorway and fought
from there. She encouraged Bully,
who had to do most of the fighting,
and urged him on. Bully didn't have
to be urged. He was right in his ele-
ment, as the saying is. He Is born
fighter. while Winsome Bluebird
doesn't enjoy fighting for the sake Of
fighting. Winsome must become very
angry. indeed. before he will fight.
He was angry now. He was angry
through and through. In other words,
he was fighting mad
AS long as Mrs. Winsome confined
her efforts to trying to get Mrs. Bully
out Of the house Bully had only Win
some to fight and he held his own
nicely. He was naturally a better
figter than Winsome He had done
a lot more fighting than ever Win
some had. But of course the racket
soon drew others and the other pair
of Bluebirds who had begun nesting
in the Old Orchard promptly came
to Winsome's assistance. Between
them they drove Bully away. In fact,
they chased him almost to the edge
of the Old orchard. On their return
Mrs. Bully still had possession of the
house and Mrs. Winsome was still
vainly trying to get her out.
Winsome hastened to join in the
battle there, while his friends and
neighbors looked on Finally by good
luck quite as much as by skill he
caught Mrs. Bully by the skin of the
back of her neck as she reached out
to strike at Mrs. Winsome. Then he
began to pull Mrs. Bully screamed
at the top of her lungs and she did
her best to keep her place inside that
Evening star., 1936-05-15

house, but Winsome had a firm hold
and he wouldn't let go. Little by
little, he pulled her through that
round doorway. She lost her grip and
pitched out headlong. Together they
fluttered to the ground.
The instant Mrs. Bully left that
doorway Mrs. Winsome was inside.
The situation was reversed now. II
those Sparrows wanted to fight for
that house they would have to get
her out in order to get possession Of
1t. She made up her mind then and
there that nothing would tempt her
again to leave that house unguarded.
Now. some folks are wise enough to
know when they have had enough.
Bully and Mrs. Bully knew this. The
odds were too much. As soon as VIM
some released her Mrs. Bully took to
her wings and hew to join Bully.
There on the edge Of the Old Or
chard they talked 1t over in loud
voices and made all sorts Of threats
as to what they would do, but they
didn't return that day. No, sir, they
didn't return. Just the same, Mrs.
Winsome had q feeling that those
Sparrows were only biding their time
and would make trouble for them yet.

lation all this talk about second breath
sounds like a fairy story.
One wonders whether or not some
sort Of training for second breath
might not be set up. II 1t could, we
might be able to make the world over
In one or two generations.
Those who have frequently expert.
enced second breath claim. that the
average person is never fully awake;
that the average brain works on an
efficiency level Of about one-eighth
capacity-that is to say, one uses only
about one billion nerve cells of ones
brains. The seven other billions are
sleeping. Perhaps some sort of habit
might be established whereby one
group Of cells could be called into re-
lief while another group Is permitted
to recuperate. This seems to be the
reason for the appearance Of second
