all history, literature, languages are

They spend six months in labor

forced to serve two years in the

that were thought to have disap-

When your sons have finished

Birds nest soup is highly priced
by the Chinese. This nest is built
of pure saliva, hence the name OF
this bird. Esculent describes the
most outstanding fact about it.
There are almost 200 known
species and subspecies of swallows
distributed throughout the world.
About so species and subspecles
are American. Nine of this num-
Der are found north of Mexico.
Long, powerful wings and small,
feeble feet usually go together. When
a bird uses its wings as mode OF
swift transportation, it means con-
tinued disuse of perching or walk
ing. Swallows live on the insects
flying high in the air. You would
be greatly surprised at the number
of insects preferring to ride the air
ways. Swallows have large mouths
which they open wide when they
are racing through the air. On quiet
nights you may hear the sharp click
Of the bill.
The swallow making the edible
nest follows the same plan as do Its
American cousins. a hammock sort

chimney or cave wall. Before the
advent of convenient chimney,
hollow trees were used. AS civll1za-
ton removed this natural building
foundation, the swallows had to find
something in its place. Adaptablllty
and acceptance of a substitute shows
these birds took advantage OF the
solution of their housing problem.
When the loud noises of the day
subside, you may hear the shrill
twitterings of the swallows as they
chase their dinner through the air.
The wings are very long, the tail
Is short, and the feathers end in
sharp spines which enable the bird
to brace its bodily against the side
of the chimney. Though the feet
are weak, the toes are equipped with
sharp, curved claws, and these are
a great aid in enabling the bird to
hold fast to vertical surface.
The nest is made in the shape OF
a semi circular bracket. which is
fastened to the inside wall of the
cave. chimney or hollow tree with
q gelatinous glue" which is Sc
GREETED by the salivary glands. In
the case of the Esculent swallow,
the nest is made of white" or
straight saliva. without any addi-
ton of twig or feather. The nests
constructed by our swallows reveal
the use of very slender twigs and
feathers which are held together
with this very tenacious saliva.
The swallow babies are very ugly.
They have a reptile-like expression
and they are blind and naked. Often
these poor little. helpless creatures
are tormented with species of in

Under a Nazi government, your
sons are yours until they are s
years old. After that. the state
takes over everything but the ex-
pense of them-the state insists you
pay the bills-and you become as
parent a mere figurehead. Soon
after they will be removed from
your house and it will be many
years before they will be returned
to you. They will be strangers TO
you, then, members of another
tribe.

leader, said In 1888: I'VE shall not

sects which are related to bedbugs.
In a dark, dugeonlike nursery,
liable to be treated to a suffocating
smoke, or heat which will quickly
dissolve the moorings of the home,
these babies must overcome or
hurdle many serious handicaps in
order to survive.
That swallows do not have a high
rate of mortality is proven by the
great number of these birds in late
summer at shutdown. AS they swirl
about, the flock formation. funnel
shaped and made up of several hun
dred, is seen seeking hidden rest
ing place. AS each bird reaches the
point of the funnel, it raises its
wings and drops swiftly out of sight.

Specialists Refuse to Believe
Orotory Cured Schuetz
But Representative
Credits Tuber's BIust
With Giving Hearing

The blast Of political oratory
which seems to have cured the
deafness Of Representative Schuetz
of Illinois seems also to have re-
versed the usual effect of heavy
sound vibrations on the human ear.
Mr.. Schuetz, a Democrat, Is con-
vinced, nevertheless, that an ear
which had been deaf since his
birth was cured by a sudden fog
horn blast from the lungs of Rep
resentative Taber, Republican, of
New York during debate on wage
and hour amendments last week.
Mr.. Schuetz isn't kidding about
it, either. For a moment he was
dazed, then felt dizzy. He could
hear with both ears for the first
time in his life. He told his friends
in amazement: I've spent thou
sands of dollars on that ear. It's all
right now"
Ear specialists refused to believe
Mr.. Schuetz was serious. They
knew of ear drums damaged by
heavy sound misunderstanding
shell explosions, etc-but never of
one improved by the same cause.
III dig into my case histories, -
one specialist promised, ''but I'm
certain such thing is unheard OF
in medical records even in an
election year."
For his part, Mr.. Taber said he
felt his colleague should arrange to
get him a degree as q doctor OF
medicine.
