Nature Gives All Birds
Kind of Feet They Need

One can tell the kind Of feet a
particular bird has by knowing his
habits. For the feet Of birds are
almost as important to them as
their wings, observes a writer in the
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The ducks feet are webbed be-
cause it must have good paddles to
push the water with when it
swimS. Otherwise. it would be as
poor swimmer as a hen.
The robin has foot much like the
ordinary chicken. His foot has three
toes in front, the center one little
longer than the others, and a
rather long, strong toe behind. Be-
cause he scratches for most Of his
food, his front toes are fitted with
sharp toenails which can tear at the
hardest ground. The back toe is
held in reserve, for when a cat or
any other annoying enemy comes
along, the robin is obliged to aban-
don his search for worms and cling
to a safe, high branch.
Woodpeckers have two toes in
front and two behind. Consequently
they hobble awkwardly on the
ground, like some old man with
corns on his feet. But in the trees,
where they're reasonably comfort
able, they're quicker than almost
any other bird at hanging to the
skinniest branches and getting
through the thickest leaves.
The cassowary and ostrich, tan
birds that are surprisingly good run
ners, have the strangest feet of any.
The foot Of the ostrich has only two
toes. He hasn't any use for the
back toe because he doesn't climb
trees. And for running, the back
toe would be Just so much extra
luggage. Both of these runner birds
live in Australia.
No matter where they live, nor
what their difficulties, the bodies Of
animals learn marvelously to meet
the needs of their lives.

SMALL CROWD WITNESSES
STYLE SHOW

The Coronation and Fashion
Show staged by the Wayman Home
Circle Of st. Peter Church at
Phyllis Wheatley Tuesday night
was show of many beautiful fea-
lures but lacking in the enthusiasm
and finish of those of former years.
The clamor of the crowd was
missing, the attendance falling far
from records of past years. The
modelling was done by a much
smaller group and while well done
suffered by comparison.
The coronation itself presented
a beautiful picture of court life
and the gowns and appearance of
the ladies were beyond reproach.
Entertainment was furnished by a
band of musicians and some solo
lists, among them Mrs. Alice Stew
art, Mrs. Susie Gaylord, Geo. Sand
ers and little Melvin Dillon.
John Thomas was master of
ceremonies. e. H. Payne was gen.
eral chairman.

FROM THE NURSES
NJnTEDnnH
NOTEBOOK

such as, "As we sow so shall we
reap" and "Man cannot live by
bread alone" and so on ran thru
my mind the past week. The heavy
thinking on my part was due to my
talk to two sick old men at Gen
eral Hospital. They are out of
touch with relatives, have no de-
pendable friends, are unable to
work and have no home to return
to when released from the hos
pital. Sometimes these forgotten
men have brought about their own
plight by poor planning and
thoughtless living. Even so, we
must help them.
One man was assisted by this
newspapers Public Service Bureau
to be placed in suitable home.
Transportation from the hospital
was taken care of by a volunteer
citizen called by the social worker
at the hospital. Room and board
for this man will be paid by his old
age pension but this is not enough
to replenish his depleted wardrobe.
When the director of this Bureau
called on this man in his new home,
he was clean and comfortable. His
big worry was the loss of his cane
and the lack of clothing. A plea
for cane and clothes was sent out.
A cane was promptly given by a
kind hearted friend of the Spokes-
man and Recorder.
Some of those young bloods at
General must be singing that old
song, I Don't Want to Get Well,
I'm in Love-With My Lovely Visi-
tors. I smile as I pass these sick
bed Tete-A-Tetes cos The Love
Bug Will Get EN-.
I always look for Mrs. Alice
Wiley's smile and her husband at
her bedside. Mr.. Tyler Howell will
be missed by patients and nurses
for his friendliness. From the
swing he has worked up in his legs,
it won't be long. Mrs. Flo Frisco
and Leona Garfield are looking fine
after two weeks rest. Herbert Rice
nearly ran over me with his wheel
chair. He was wheeling around to
show his little gift from the
Spokesman and Recorders office.
It is game but will help him keep
up his spelling. The stork, know
ing of Mr.. and Mrs. Hollis Dillon's
preference for boys, added brand
new one last week. This makes
four boys and one girl in their fam
lily. Mrs. Rosa Wysner was admit
ted to the hospital Friday.
At Veterans, Mr.. David Rodgers
was on the seriously i'll list again.
He has spent several years at Vet
Grams. His wife spends much time
at his bedside. Mr.. Spencer Shiv-
ers has been released from the hos
pital for the past three weeks.
There are only three of our boys
there now. They said they hope
they will not be left off visiting
lists because there are so few of
them out there. The Librarian,
with whom I had enjoyed talking
on a previous visit, was off duty
due to the bad behavior of her ap-
pendix. I wanted to hear the praise
knew she would give the Public
Service Bureau for putting more
magazines of Negro publication in
the library for our boys. These
magazines as I mentioned last
week are donated by Mr.. Herbert
Howell of the Sumner Sweet
Shoppe. The Minneapolis Spokes-
man is given freely to all shutins.

NO EMPTY HEAD FOR ME

By William Henry Huff
(For AMP
I'd rather have an empty hand,
An empty pocket too,
Than have shallow, empty head
AS lots of people do.
The world today is calling loud
For heads that have been trained;
Such heads, of course, reap large rewards
From knowledge they have gained
May future children understand
When people say I'm dead,
did not crave to fill my hand,
But yearned to fill my head.

neap city election who feel that the insertion of ad in this

We sell political advertising the basis of advertising worth and
value alone and without attached whatsoever
This the of the candidates whose pleas
columns those in endorsements
You for sale but endorsements not
This should not strange to the intelligent candidate
Because there and always will be publications whose support
purchaab will candidates who think they should
be able to buy papers support for
There candidates who could afford endorse
matter how much advertising they bought
We think this sound and just attitude and intend continue
to practice it.

MAX SAUL BUYS
 BACCEIA PROPERTY

A house and lot located on Second Street near the corner of H Street which belonged to the John Bacchia estate, and was his last residence before he left for the old country became the property of Max Saul through Marshals sale the first of the week.
 ! The deal was the final one here winding up the affairs of Bacchia, who died in Italy about year ago, and was handled for his widow by Judge H. B. LeFeyre, who was ap- pointed administrator by the 1tal- ian consul.
 ! Anticipating a boom in real es- tate here about ten years ago when rumors of something favorable to come, but which failed to material ize then, John Bacchia acquired the property just sold among two or three other similar pieces, from John McWilliams who had owned it for thirty years or more.
 Saul, the new owner, is at pres ent working at Kimshan Cove. It is understood that he plans to make the place his future home
