saying:
There is no home in Canada, no

A very wealthy family that had
occupied an ancestral home for
many generations counted a beauti-
full old clock as one of its most
treasured possessions. 1t had stopped
running and after remaining that
way for many years good repair
man was called in to see if he could
restore activity to it. After several
days of work the repairman stood
back at last to see if the rejuve-
nation had been successful. The
clock got under way like a new
watch. The family feared that it
might not continue so well and
they stood around with bated
breath to see if it would suddenly
lag. Five o'clock came and the
clock took five seconds to strike the
hour. That night, at 10 o'clock, the
family gathered again to see if all

did the clock take to strike that

The Alaska grosbeak finds his

Northwestern Alaska and North

Washington. The winters are en-

The nest is usually placed in a

There are four eggs of pale

dark brown and lavender blotches.
The babies arrive early in the

are abroad Later you should see

The Alaska pine grosbeak belongs
to the largest family of birds, the
flnches. There are about 1000
species and subspecies scattered all
over the world with the exception OF
Australia. We have 200 in our coun-
try.
All of them have cone-shaped
bills, and they are so formed that
you can recognize the grosbeaks by
them. The line Of opening of the
bill has a decidedly downward move
ment close to its base. Some men,
bers have sort Of tooth on the
raised portion OF the bill. The cut
ting edge Of the lower bill comes in
very handy. At the corners of the
mouth is a respectable sized mus
tache. There are nine feathers in
the hand section of each wing and
the tail always has IL feathers
There are other distinctions not
needed for field Identification.
Naturally with such a bill, these
birds are seed hunters. They vary
the rich diet with insects, but the
great service rendered us Is their
love for weed seeds. They are, in
fact, worth several millions Of dol
lars to us annually for their con-
sumption of these seeds. Since
many weeds flaunt their fruit all
through the year, there is no time
the grosbeaks are not policing the
fields and waste places in some part
Of their range.
1t is quite we'll established that the
pine grosbeaks are responsible for
distributing the seeds of our val

the tender green buds of the pines
and shade trees. but so little do they

JEWELRY TAKES
ON new LUSTER

Color and size play star roles In
new costume jewelry, but the
precious" look Of real-like stones
gives these brilliant beauty. Blend
ing perfectly with spring costume
colors, the jewel tones are used to
dress up all ensembles. Ruby reds
and sapphire blues and delightful
amethysts or rich amber tones set
off the soft beiges. blacks, navies
and lavender-blues Of spring.
Following the inspired lead of
such houses as Cartier and Herr
and Rene Boivin. of Paris, the de-
signers of costume jewelry have
cleverly copied rich old jewelry
studded with multi-colored set
tings. In other styles OF jewelry,
distinctly modern trends are noted.
But size is important.
Mammoth stones are set with
jeweled backgrounds and carved
gold or silver settings. Bracelets.
having one huge brilliant setting
are new. Rings are large enough
for man. but decorative with
their huge scintillating stones.
Square hubies, emeralds, and sap
phires are among those seen in
shops. But there is also a liking
for the typical American Indian
jewelry, with its immense tur-
ouoiSe settings.

What do YOU bid?
UNCLE RAYS CORNER

We who live in this century may
be thankful for many things, and
not the least is the care taken about
our meat supply. People in the
better civilized countries can buy
meants which have been inspected
by experts.
This does not mean that all
meats served in our land are safe
for food, but it does mean that most
Of our meat supply is watched over
with care. When farmers butcher
their own livestock, they take risk,
and when butchers sell meat which
has not been well inspected, they
pass the risk to their customers.
One good thing about the hand
ling of modern meat is the rule that
1t must be kept cold while in trans
port. Raw meat will spoil quickly if
it is not kept cold. Even cooked
meat should be kept in refrigerator
where it will be cold and safe from
flies.
Some persons suppose they can
eat underdone meat with safety if
1t has been inspected. This is a
false idea. The inspectors cannot
guard against all possible dangers,
and they, themselves, warn people to
cook meats we'll.
When meat packers do their work
properly, they heat or cook ready
to-eat sausages at least to the point
where trichina worms are killed.
