Birds Muscles Conferred;
Body Is Short and Deep

The whole secret of birds struc-
ture is found in its adaptation to
flight. This seems like stating
commonplace, yet if we look into
the changes which flight has brought
to the structure of the bird, we open
a whole storehouse of interesting in
formation, observes an authority in
the Detroit Free Press.
On first glance, it may seem that
birds have nothing in common ex-
cept wings and feathers. Yet, strip
them of their feathers and all birds
are fundamentally alike. The major
ity of their adaptations are directed
toward one end: D transform a
heavier than air body into a flying
machine.
First of all, the body of a bird
is light. Feathers, beautiful d
delicate as they are, are the
strongest structures for their size
and weight known. Bones are hollow
and thin-walled, not heavy and filed
with marrow as those of mammals.

stead a light horny beak. The tail

SYNOPSIS

Jim Fielding, one of the lost genera
ton" who had left college in the depres-
sion and is unable to find a job, arrives
at Glendale to visit his friends the Mac
Phersons. Mac had formerly been gar
dener at his late uncle's estate and
now works for T. H. Vaughn of "Mea-
doWbrook" Jim is tired of being sup
ported by his married sister Kay. While
he still can marry Lenore, an attractive
divorce who is in love with him and
have an easy life because of her wealth,
his mind rebels. Stopping at the vii
lage drug store for sandwich, he meets
Dolly, a pretty soda fountain girl. When
he inquiries about the Vaughns, she asks
If he is a friend of "Cecily's." She also
entrusts a message to Tommy. young
son of the family and tells him how
to reach the Vaughn's estate. Approach
ing the house, Jim encounters TOM
boyish little girl fishing. She is startled
and falls in the brook. Incensed at first,
she discovers she likes Jim and he
learns that she is Susan Vaughn. He
discovers Cecily is her older sister.

The cottage at ''Whitehall'' had been
quite different. 1t was the atmos-

There were photographs of him;
Jim in his first suit of long trousers,
a snapshot of Kay and himself on

peared in the university yearbook
when he was a senior at Prince
ton.
The photographs, carefully cher
ished, were proof of the MacPher-
sons affection for him. Jim's throat
tightened. Why should he be
ashamed of the emotion he felt?
Sincere affection was rare enough.
Why shouldn't he admit that he
was moved?
A voice broke in upon Jim's re-
Elections, a deep voice roughened by
burr, taciturn, familiar.

There was welcome in the
words. Jim turned to the door.
"Hello!" he said smiling.

face lined and tanned.

Macpherson had no gift for words
but the clap of his hand was cordial
and his eyes, deeply set under shag-

Mrs. Macpherson, coming in with
I a tray, spoke with her customary
vigor.
Isn't this a pleasure, Andy?"
she exclaimed, beaming upon them
iinpartially. Aren't we glad to see
Jamie?" She cleared a table to
make room for her tray. He's

life. Sit down, jamie" "
The ginger-beer was cold and re-
freshing. Jim relaxed in the pat
ent rocker. his feet propped on a
hassock. Mrs. Macpherson capably
directed the conversation. She had
a hundred questions to ask How
was his uncle now? We're he and
Mrs. King liking California? Had

She drew Jim into the cottage.

looking up at Jim, her hands on her

in a welcoming smile.
'Where did you come from? If

under Title 7. At the suggestion Of
the Federal housing administrator,
this amount was reduced at the last
session Of Congress to 500, 900 900
and the amount OF the insurance was
reduced from 20 per cent to 10 per cent
Of loans made. It Is thought that
after all claims for insurance under
Title have been uquidated At least
SIS, 100000 OF the amount available
for such losses will not be needed.
In computing the cost Of Title l.,
consideration should be given to the
increased revenue flowing into the
National Treasury from taxes paid
by corporations and individuals, for
merly "in the red," who derive their
income directly or indirectly from the
revived construction industry. and
also to the tightening OF the Govern

amounting to s537,319,490, were in
sured by the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration through March 81. Since
the lending institutions have 80 days
in which to report Title loans, it is
likely that the final figures will be
increased by some millions Of dollars.
In addition, it is estimated that
the better housing campaign, spon-
sored by the Federal Housing Admin
istration, has generated over $2,000,-
100000 worth of moderniZation and
repair work which does not show in
its own records. Careful check-ups
have disclosed that for every dollar of
repair work insured by the Federal
Housing Administration, approxi-
mately 81 have been spent on jobs
paid for in cash or financed by other
methods.
Title I was primarily an emergency
measure, put into effect in the Mid
summer of 1884, to relieve unemploy-
ment and to provide quick stimu-
liant to the PROSTATE building industry
while the home construction program
was getting under way. At that time,
confidence and activity in the build
ing construction and equipment in
dustry were at low ebb. Millions
of homes and other properties had
fallen into a state of disrepair during
the depression, unemployment in the
building trades was widespread, busi-
ness concerns in the field were doing
minimum of business, and at the
same time thousands Of banks and
other lending institutions were unable
to find sound loans in which to invest
their funds.
Today shortages Of skilled construc-
ton workers are being reported in
many localities and statistics are
available to show the improved con-
ditions of concerns engaged in the
building and allied industries. That
lending institutions have found Title

fact that $500 have reported making
