From 1907 to 1920 the Christmas
Seal Sale was the joint effort of the
American Red Cross and the Ma
tional tuberculosis Association.
Since 1920, however, the Seal has
been identified only with the Ma

front. The hind toe Is level with
the front ones. This indicates that
the dove is perching bird. The
plump body Is ful-brested. The
plumage is very dense, though easily
detached from the very tender skin.
The region about the eye is naked,
giving an expression of eager alert
ness to the bird.
You will find doves throughout
the temperate and tropical parts of
the world, but the greatest number
are in the Eastern Hemisphere.
Especially Is this true in the islands
of the Indo-M -Malayan and Australian
regions. Here the most beautifully
colored doves in the world are to
be found. There are about $50
species and subspecies known. Of
this number about 100 species and
subspecies are found in America.
Seventeen of these are Of regular
occurrence.
The crested doves crown feathers
sweep backward, adding dignity
and poise to the well-carried head.
Black and deep buff are the pre-
dominating colors on the wings.
At mating time the cooling of the
males in one grand chorus makes
quite bit of noise. When not try
ing to attract the attention of the
ladies, all Of the doves go in search
of insects, seeds and tender bits
of green vegetation.
When the time comes for nest
building, again there is much to be
said among them. They talk over
every stick that is laid. When they
commune with each other, only
the most gentle cooling notes are
used. The father always does his
part in keeping the eggs warm,
and finding food seems to be the
greatest fun and pleasure. Trips
unending are but part of the joy
of parenthood. In II or IL days the
eggs hatch, and in a very short
time youngsters are able to take
care of themselves. Two babies are
unusual. one being the number
most often found in the bassinet.
In some of the nests, however,
there are twins.

for a way to make o living. For

and jobs were not to be had. Then
one day he passed cigar store and
he recalled a job he had had years

wealthy countryman and got finan-

where he could sell handmade Gig

a success of it because he was able
to get tobacco inexpensively and he
had practically no overhead costs.
After calculation on costs he found
that he could turn out dozen

how many cigars would he have to

Doves are not all gentle because
they have several cousins famous
for their loving disposition. In
fact, several doves are rather pug
nacious toward one another. It
all goes to show you cannot depend
on name to indicate actions.
Not many realize that the names
pigeons" and dove" are inter-
changeable and synonymous. Pigeon
is French and the later is Dutch.
The name dove is usually applied
to the smaller members of the
group.
Doves are naturally homogeneous,
but like humans, many of them
have become fickle in their marital
relations, and this seems to be
specially true of the doves that have

Tea On the Terrace.


Chiftan cleaned up another neg
lected facet of Rud's education by
taking him to the Houses of Parlia-
ment, sitting with him in the
Stranger Gallery for a time and
introducing him to a friend or two.
for whom he had done trifling
Journalistic services in the past.
one or two members who had heard
already of the common sense move
ment in their constituencies were
only too willing to be friendly with
this ugly, white faced, erratic talker.
Rud was given tea on the terrace
and inspected and drawn out.
He surveyed this celebrated ter
race. Narrow, it was, he noted. at
the foot of cliff of sham Gothic
stonework, barely century old and
already corroded. "Thoroughlv
Anglican" he thought. Chiffan's
friend collected small group for
him, that came and went restlessly.
These politicians impressed him
as being the most shortsighted and
skeptical men he had ever met.
They lived in a little world that
was bounded on the one side by
office" and on the other by the
constituencies, and they seemed
unable to imagine that it was not
an eternal world. One tall man,
he observed, in the year of grace
1941 was wearing long frock- coat
and nnnll1ior ho1f efiF
reminiscent of that great parlia-
mentary hand, Mr.. Gladstone. They
talked with one another about di-
visions; the government majority
and dropped to 20; and they talked
about a scene in the House. The
P. MS manners were becoming in
tolerable. Then with an air of
relaxation they turned to Rud. The
possibility of altering opinions in
the constituencies seemed a very
theoretical one to them. No doubt
there were waves of opinion in the
country, and an intelligent parli-
mentary politician observed them
and lodged about among them,
but it was quite outside their tech
nique to consider how the pressures
of opinion could accumulate and
be directed.
Thursts Out Feelers.
Rud thought they might be i'm
pressed by the breadth of his out
look. He tried to pose as the earnest
young inquirer, wanting to know. He
thrust out feelers. Where is power in
the country? Where is RESPONSE
bility? In this country? In any
country.
But the elusive mystery of po-
litical power is no proper subject for
the terrace at tea time. There is
nothing to be known about it, and
everybody knows all about it. So
what is there to discuss?
He tried over a suggestion of Cliff
fans that power is always being
drawn together into a center, and
then escaping again and diffusing
itself. He had not thought much of
that at the time, but now that he
heard himself say it, it seemed quite
a good idea. There were, he argued,
widespread accumulative phases in
politico-social life, and these were
always followed by executive phases,
a sort of diastole and systole of
concentrated impulse against diff
fused systematic resistances. He
tried to impress them with the idea
that phase of diastole was coming
to an end, and that the apparent
apathy of the day might turn at any
moment to the rush of the oncoming
systole. But they were manifestly
not interested. He might as well
have talked to a team of cricketer of
possible earthquakes, grass impov-
erishment and q coming shortage or
excess Of rain. They returned to the

Rud and 1rwell had lunch with an
mquir1ng group of stock brokers
ana on another occasion they were
privileged to have their views about
social credit put right for them by a
friendly banking firm which lunched
over Its offices in a large, graceful
room, With such an unpretending
splendor of silver and mahogany
and cold sideboard and so protected
from outside clamor by double win
dows and carpeted floors that It
seemed to Rud for a time that he
must have fallen into some older,
wiser and altogether more stable
and comfortable world.
But Rud talked none the less ef-
fectively on that account. He talked
IN particular here of his doctrine
OF the abolition of the Atlantic.
America and Britain, with only 10
hours to separate them, were be-
coming one again. There must be
some sort of practical coalescence
ahead. Must be. But, lunching over
a bank, he did not make it as clear
as he might have done whether he
meant coalescence of the United
States and Britain or coalescence
OF the city and Wall Street. "Busi-
ness" he threw out, sis more plas-
tic than political structure. There
will certainly be an Anglo American
newspaper coalescence, for example,
In the next 10 years."

But no one responded to that
feeler.
There's remarkable feeling of
solidarity between the labor move
ment here and those South Caro-
lima strikers-in the rank and file
especially. The news gets across,
hardly know how. It's something
new. You've never had cotton and
steel workers swapping experience
and news before-Pittsburgh talk

In modern bidding the opening

the huctuation between a minimum

trump bid is only the equivalent Of
king. 1t is generally unwise to go
beyond these limits in either direc-
ton, but in today's hand South de-
cided to open a weak fourth-hand
no-trump, hoping the bidding would
progress no further. To his con-
sternation North jumped immedi-
ately to game, and now West opened
the ten of hearts.
Declarer played the jack from
dummy, East covered with the

tricks in sight, with clubs totally un-
stopped. Dummy's spade queen fur
nished the only possibility for q
ninth trick and, thinking quickly,
South decided to try to SNEAK" this
in rather than run off the diamond
suit and give away the situation.
South's thought processes were evi-
dently much faster than his West
opponents, for when the small spade
was led West ducked, the queen
won the trick and the contract was
home. A cold zero had been trans
formed into a top for North and
