Another sweet singer that you
would enjoy hearing is this shy little
thrush that seeks the mountain dis
tricts Of western North America
Elusive is the word that has been
applied to the soloist's song, but,
once heard, it is not easily forgotten.
AS you know, the thrushes are
the singing birds. There are many
members and they differ widely in
habits, form, appearance and COL
oration. 1t is always pleasure to
have in mind the habits of a fam
trait to guide us if we are bit un-
lily. Then we can look for some
certain in our identification.
Some thrushes live among rocks,
the ground. Some are vegetarians,
some live exclusively on a meat diet
insects). Then we have those that
combine the diets of both eXtrem-
lists; Just like so many of their
human brothers. and no doubt that
is what attracts us to them.
Thrush babies differ from their
parents in dress. So you can feel
certain of them by the spots that
cover their plumage. In autumn,
when they don their vacation
clothes, they have the plain colors.
What is so interesting about the
thrushes is that they change their
clothes completely in the autumn
and renew only the worn feathers
during the remainder of the year.
That's what we call being good man
ayers Oh thrifty.
In every part of the world, with
the exception of some regions of
Polynesia. member of the thrush
family resides. One hundred and
fifty species and subspecies are
known today. In this family there
are several famous singers-the
American hermit thrush, wood
thrush, veery and European nightin-
gale.

Quest for Numbers.

A very clever young fellow decided
one time to give unique party for
all of his friends. 1t was to be kind
of treasure hunt, but he found a way
to make it just difficult enough to re-
quire ingenuity and smartness with
out making it so hard that it might
lose its fun value. The young fellow
set out all of his clues in the regular
fashion and then the last step re-
quired that the hunters solve this
problem: There are four numbers
which you must find. They are To-

may seize it to trip along the fallen

you have found along the way on the
hunt. The four numbers are I'M
usual in that they will all add up to
the same number that you will get
by multiplying them all together.
Now, the fellow that won the treas
ure decided Immediately that he
didn't need to examine all the clues
he had found. all he had to do was
find out what numbers would per-
form as specified. and he decided
they must be between one and ten.
AS matter of fact, two of them are
alike. Can you find them?

Judge Postpones
Continuance Ruling IN
Bootleg Cream Case
Defense Counsel Argues
That important Witness
Is Too III to Testify

Ruling on the motion for continu-
ance of the trial on alleged bootleg"
cream charges against the Fairfax
Farms Dairy. Inc. and the Embassy
Dairy. Inc, was postponed today by
Judge Hobart Newman until Tues
day.
The motion was made by Defense
Counsel Robert Lynch on plea that
an important witness. John Kreis,
an employe of the diaries, was i'll.
Mr.. Lynch said Mr.. Kreis was one
of those arrested in the roundup
following the seizure March 4 of
cream, allegedly brought here from
Lafayette. Ind, and had suffered a
severe cut on his head and other
injuries at the time.
Opposing further continuance,
Corporation Counsel Elwood Seal
suggested a deposition be taken
from the witness at his home rather
than hold up the trial any further.
Charges were filed March IA. He
cited a record of an examination
of the witness made by a physician
representing the District in which it
was suggested 1t would be better
for the witness to have a deposition
taken at his home.
In support of his motion Mr..
Lynch brought Drs. Leo I. Dom
ovan and James A. Cannon into
court to testify as to their exam
nations of the witness.
DR.. Donovan said that while Mr.,
Kreis' injuries we're comparatively
healed, he believed 1t would be
dangerous for Mr.. Kreis to appear
in court now, as he has hyperion
sion and shock.
DR.. Cannon also argued that it
would be dangerous for Mr.. Kreis
to appear at present, and both
physicians said a three-week period
would help materially.
Both doctors admitted it would
be better to take a deposition at
home than to have Mr.. Kreis appear
in court, but warned that even this
might be dangerous.

Confession
Continued From First Page.)

Cunningham had not been married
before.
Cunningham told Mrs. Stokes
when her daughters disappearance
was first noticed his wife had left
him to 60 to California.
First serious suspicion that some
thing was wrong came when the
Stokes received a telegram from
San Francisco purportedly from
their daughter and telling them not
to worry that she was all right. The
first name was spelled "Endora" in
stead of the proper "Eudora."
A check of the telegram revealed
it had been sent by a former fellow F.
H. A. employe of Cunningham. The
man, reached by telephone. said
Roger sent him the telegram in let
ter and asked him to send it. The
letter said Cunningham would ex-
plain later, but spoke of the urgency
of the request
Other peculiar circumstances
quickly accumulated. Mrs. Cum
ningham was librarian at Foster
School. Cunningham, the day after
her disappearance. telephoned the
school she was ill., Later. when
school officials inquired of him
about her, he told them she had
been called to Illinois by illness of
relatives.
He told still others she had gone
to Texas
He asked the newspapers to give
the search for his wife wide public
ity so she would see it "and come
to her senses" And there the mat
ter stood until early this morning.

Former Federal Loan
Association President
Goes on Trial tuesday
Fred B. Rhodes Faces
Perjury Charge in
Alleged False Report

|. Fred B. Rhodes, practicing attor-
| ney and former president of the
/ Federal Building & Loan Associa-
ton, will 60 on trial in District
Court on Tuesday-or late Monday
if another case is completed in time
charged with making a false re-
port. as of June 30, 1885, to the con-
troller of the currency-which the
grand jury has said is perjury. This
will be the third time that Mr..
Rhodes Is a defendant at a District
Court trial-for he was previously
charged with forgery, but hung
juries resulted in the other cases.
Prosecuting the case will be Assist
and United Attorney John j. Will
son.
The previous cases grew out of
charge of forgery on 81 500 with
drawal ticket in the name of Desire
A. Irr. retired Government Print
ing Office employe.
Faces Two Counts.
The indictment on which Mr..
Rhodes will be tried this week is in
two counts, Mr. Wilson explained
the first charging that perjury was
committed in undertaking deposit
liabilities by some $88 200. The Gov
ernment alleges that Mr.. Rhodes
placed the liabilities at 1882 600.
whereas in reality they were $88, 900
more than that.
The second count. said Mr.. Will
son, alleges that Mr.. Rhodes said
the surplus and undivided profits
of the Association were $4,000,
when the truth was that there was
no surplus, but a deficit of $61 900,
1t is declared.
The prosecutor recalled that in
July, 1896, the Federal Building &
Loan Association closed up and paid
IS cents on the dollar.
Justice Adkins to Preside.
The case will be heard before JUS
tice Jesse c. Adkins in Criminal
Court No. /. Mr.. Rhodes will be
represented by Attorneys William E.
Leahy and William E. Richardson.
The Government says that the for
mer association president allegedly
swore falsely to the statement made
to the controller of the currency on
July Is, 1885. He was indicted in
September, 1887.
In March and April, 1887, he was
tried on the forgery charges, Mr..
Wilson declared, but these resulted
in hung juries. The new case Is ex-
pected to take a good share of the
coming week.
