Natures Children
Water Turkey
(Anhinga anhinga)

gradual appearance OF the body
above water has startling effect
at f1rst upon the beholder.
Though the water turkey is Won-
derful diver, the fish are hunted
only when needed. Few fish can
escape the sharp lancelike bill and
the intelligent manner Of pursuit
followed by the birds until they get
what they want.
The water turkey Is not real
turkey. but darter, The usual
color scheme of the male is glossy
black, that of his mate grayish-
brown. There is little conversation
among them, and they seem to be
lost in meditation whenever they are
idle. When taking off, the water
turkey can attain an altitude of
several hundred feet and seems to
circle about on motionless wings.
All members are gregarious and
build their nests in swamps or
bayous, the foundation being a bush
or small tree. Sticks, leaves. dry
grass, roots and moss are combined
for the nursery. and from two to
five eggs are laid, of dark greenish-
white or blue with a chalky crusta-
ton.
One Of the largest rookeries is to
be found on Orange Lake, Florida.
Perhaps it was near here that the
local pastor, seeing the silent water
turkey remain on it's perch for hours,
was called on to remark, Where
the whangdoodle mourneth for its
first-born.'

tor Johnson of Colorado, chairman
of the subcommittee in charge of
the Amlie nomination, plans to re-
port to the full committee early this
coming week. The subcommittee
it is confidently predicted, will re-
port adversely on the ground that
Amlie is too radical and believes in
Government ownership not only Of
the railroads but also OF industry
generally.
The Amlie nomination has hung
fire for weeks and months. Whea
the President sent to the Senate the
nomination of the former House
member from Wisconsin it was like
waving a red rag before the eyes n'
the more conservative bloc in the
Senate. Furthermore, there are
some ardent supporters of the Presi-
dent in the Senate who do not relish
the thought of being compelled to
vote for Mr.. Amlie, fearing that
such a vote will lose them votes in
their own States. But more particu-
larly the railroad brotherhoods
whose influence in the Senate is
perhaps greater than that of anv
other labor organization, has turned
on the Amlie nomination.
Feel McManamy Sighted.
The reason for the coldness of the
brotherhoods toward Amlie is found
| IN the failure Of the President to
take care of Commissioner Frank
McManamy-an old railroad worker
himself who has had a career in
Government service and who would
be able to retire within about six or
eight months if he remained in his
present position with the I. c. C.
McManamy has been regarded par
tlcularly as the representative OF
the railroad workers on the COM
mission. But when his term recent
ly expired, the President appointed
in his place J. Hayden Alldredge of
Alabama, who in the past has done
rate-making job for the Tennes-
see Valley Authority. The brother
hoods feel that they have been badly
treated.
The administration was relying
particularly upon the railroad broth
erhoods to carry the fight for Amlie
In the Senate. But now they have
| dropped him like hot iron.
Senator Burton K. Wheeler of
Montana, chairman of the Senate
Interstate Commerce Committee,
was appealed to by the brotherhoods
to do Notwithstanding that
would allow McManamy to hold on.
| The Montana Senator, according to
reports on the Hill, sought to bring
about withdrawal of the Amlie
nomination. AS chairman of the
Senate Committee. Senator Wheeler
is prepared to vote for the Amle
nomination. although he is not
enamoured of ii. But on the ground
that it would save the President
and everyone else embarrassment.
the withdrawal of the nomination
was urged, but urged in vain.

like. The size of the head is small
in comparison with the body, and
the bill is slender and sharp, al
most twice the length of the COM
pressed head.
The tail is rigid, wide and fan
shaped. It has IL feathers, which
widen at the end, and the outer
pair Is ribbed in an unusual FASH
ion. The wings are long and point
ed. The feet are short and the
legs are placed far back on the body.
This does not interfere with the
birds being able to balance them
selves nicely on their lookout posts.
The water turkey is swift flyer
and 100 per cent efficient as diver.
These birds are not marine in
their habits, as many have thought
because they are such excellent
fishermen. They are to be found
in dense sWamps. They are not
sociable and are rather timid souls,
always watchful for intruders, in
order that they may escape atten-
ton. They can drop into the water
with astonishingly little noise, and
they can swim so well under water
that they create but few ripples
that might reveal their presence. If
they are pursued while swimming
upon the surface. they Immediately
sink into the water by a quiet
backward movement, known to the
Grebes, and swim away from dam
ger. Then when they feel they
have put enough distance between
them and their enemy, the snake
like neck protrudes In the manner
Of serpent, and its undulations
are so much like those Of water
snake that they have been mistaken
for them upon many occasions. The
