Government Scientists Record Speed Of Bird Flight

The swiftest birdfight ever re-
corded accurately is in the neigh
borhood of ITS miles an hour. Ordi-
nary, unhurried flight averages from
20 to 40 miles an hour. according
to the species.
The United States Department of
Agriculture has compiled a COM
plete record of the measured flight
speeds of North American and Eu-
ropean birds. The swiftest denizen
of the skies, according to this COM
pendulum, is the California duck
hawk whose speed, measured with a
stop watch from an airplane, was
found to be between It's and 1870
miles an hour. The eagle is rela-
lively slow. The Department of Agri-
culture compiler, found one rather
questionable recorded speed of 100
miles for golden eagle. Only two
entirely trustworthy records of eagle
speeds were found-one of 80 and
the other of go miles.
Bird speed records more than 20
years old are worthless, the report
explains, because any possible
means of measurement was quite in
accurate and some fantastic esti-
mates were made, ranging up to 5
or miles minute. Most such
guesses, and by far the most trust
worthy, were made by hunters. A
hunter, aiming at bird in flight,

CHAPTER XIX

The horses and their riders were

high wall curved away from the
moonlight. O'Leary spoke hoarsely:

way to Delhi. Who did you hit?'

did you whistler"
"Stoddart sent a man from camp
to overtake you. He gave the mes
sage to me. He said there'd come
sweeper, running like hell, from
Mrs. Harding in the guesthouse. She
says she has to see you in hurry,
it's important, and won't you come
quick?"
''What's become of the sweeper"
''He lit out. He said all's quiet al

had to make three subconscious esti-
mates-the distance of his target,
the speed at which it was moving
in order that he would know how
far ahead to aim and the speed of
his bullet. The skilled marksman
learned to make allowance for these
three factors instinctively, but never
could explain satisfactorily how he
did it. Only one of these elements
of craftsmanship, the velocity of the
bullet, could be measured &C.
curately.
But, says the report, cit has been
found recently by experiment that
there is an appreciate loss of time
in pulling the trigger. Against the
sky it is practically impossible to
gauge the exact distance of the bird,
and the distance it travels may be
exaggerated because momentum
will carry a shot bird some distance
before it falls. An overestimate of
very few feet in these figures will
result in the computation Of very
high speeds for game birds. Gun
ners have been prone to attribute
speeds of 100 or even $50 miles an
hour to ducks"

She tore up Norwood's letter. She
scattered its fragments into the
darkness.
"Good-by!"

Norwood. "See you later"
"Why?" Lynn answered.
Norwood swung himself down
from the wall, by the baobab ten

horse and was off at a gallop.

Will you let me get by?"
Norwood didn't move: 'What did
you say in your letter." he asked.
eff you despised me too much to
read it, why ask that now? I know
you got the letter. 1t was sent by
one of the Maharanee's messengers,
who came back and said he had
given it to you. He said you tore
it up; he saw you do it,"
"Did the messenger tell you
that?"
"He told Rundhia.''
"Oh," said Norwood.
O'Leary whistled, in the distance,
somewhere between the kiosk and
the palace front gate. Rundhia
groaned again. BY the noise, he
appeared to be helping himself to
his feet by holding on to the shrub
berry. Norwood called to him:
"Are you all right, Rundhia?''
''None of your business!" said
Rundhia's voice from the darkness.
''Pm going to have you arrested"
Rundhia's footsteps went stagger-
ing away in the direction of the pal
ace.
Norwood faced Lynn again: "Sor-
ry. I'm in a hurry. Would you
like me to see you as far as the
palace steps?"
"Oh, no. Thank you"
"Well, look here: 1 wrote you a
letter, just in case I didn't find you.

Rundhia was punch drunk. All
the physical fight had been knocked
out of him. He knew his nose was
bleeding. He knew Lynn was in
Norwood's grasp. That Norwood had
escaped death was a staggerer al
most worse than the punch on the
jaw. For the moment, he could
think of nothing but Norwood. Like
a man in the ring, who is almost out
on his feet, he obeyed the instinct
to deliver a foul blow.
He reeled and staggered, gradu-
ally recovering, along short cut
toward his own palace. AS his
nerves and muscles recovered, so
did his brain. He began to think
little clearly. BY the time he
reached his palace and had sent for
the Bengal doctor, his nose had
ceased bleeding and he needed moth
ing more than bath and a change
of clothing. There were plenty of
servants to lay out clean clothes.
He talked to the Bengal doctor in
the bathroom, where the shower
drowned the sound of their voices.
Even so, he spoke English, lest one
of the Wallets should overhear.
"Now listen. Don't answer me,
or I'll have you hanged. Damn you,
1 mean that. I'm desperate. Thanks
to your letting me down in a pinch
and refusing to have anything to
do with it, the attack on Norwood
was bungled."

the Residency number. Then he

Braw|ey Red Light
Abatement Charge
Filed inI.V. Suit
Milton Green and Wife
Among Defendants in
Paddock Proceedings

Milton and Belize Green,
Negroes, were among IL de-
fen dants charged late Thurs
day with using II rooms at
912 | street, BraWley, for
immoral purposes.
In a complaint signed by Deputy
District Attorney r. I. French they
were charged with violating the red
light abatement act and the court
was asked to paddock the place for
a year.
Immediately after the complaint
was liled Judge Vaughn N. Thomp-
son issued a temporary restraining
order prohibiting use of the place
until settlement of the matter.
Nine of the defendants in the
case. heirs of the late George Ger
aid, live in Texas, Louisiana, and
Florida. Belle Green, French SAID.
was purchasing the property from
the heirs on a contract of sale.
1t was arrest of Ethel Lucas, alias
Dorothy Allen, alias Mrs. Milton
Paul Griffin, 26, mulatto wife of
Milton Paul Griffin, Negro, that led
to the filing of the complaint under
the red light abatement act. The
Griffin woman told Sheriff Robert
w. Ware that she carried on her
profession at cabin II at 9l2 I
street, a cabin she rented from Belle
Green for $l.50 a month. Mrs. Grit
fin was released late Thursday at
ter she paid a $25 fine for vagrancy.
Griffin is held in the county jail
in lieu of 1000 bail demanded after
he was charged with possession OF
marihuana.
Griffin and his wife were ar
rested last weekend at the Red Star
auto court east of Ell Centre by
Sheriff Robert w. Ware.
