Marshall refused to disclose full

program under way is:
l. To set up nine regular army

3. To call whatever units of the
guard are needed to meet
any emergency. If the pending bill
is passed, the units could be sent

Marshall said that if the war de-

Most barnyard fowls were brought
to this continent from Asia. There
wasn't e hen of the barnyard type
in either North or South America
when white men first crossed the
Atlantic.
Turkeys were common, however.
Thousands of them were TO be
found in forests from Canada down
to Central America.
Wild turkeys exist to this day in
various parts of the United States,
and in a few sections are fairly
common. A Texas hunter wrote
me letter about the good turkey
hunting not great distance from
San Antonio.
Mexico and Central America,
however. are the places where wild
turkeys are found in greatest num-
Der. Central America has a special
kind of wild turkey; it has a bright
coat Of green, black and yellow
feathers. and is red and blue about
the head and neck.
Mexico'S wild turkeys live both
in mountains and in valleys. They
make their nests on the ground, in
shallow holes lined with leaves.
The turkey hen lays from eight
to 20 eggs in her nest. Like baby
chicks, the baby wild turkeys are
able to walk quickly after they
hatch from the eggs. In company

Many players would have bid two
hearts, or perhaps two clubs, in
stead of two no-trump at North'S
first opportunity; but two no.
trump had the virtue of showing
fairly precise amount Of strength
scattered through at least three
suits. South Immediately decided
to explore slam possibilities since
his opening bid would have been
sound even without any strength
in the red suits With two kings
and a queen more than he needed
for an opening bid. South was
quite justified in hoping for more
than game.
South's first step was to show
the rather shabby heart suit; and
North promptly and properly raised
to game, thus showing four card
support. Thus far, South had
found out about the heart fit but
had not made any slam sugges-
ton. That was done by means of
the five-club BID: and North en-
couraged the slam by the control
showing bid of five diamonds. Now
South bid five no-trump to indi-
cate that his suits were not par
ticularly long and that he was per-
fectly willing to let the hand play
at no-trump if North had any
doubts about the hearts.
North, of course, had no reason
to shy away from the heart suit,
so bid the slam in hearts. He had
more than minimum for his bid
ding up to that point; and his
hand contained two aces-a great
help in the play Of a slam.

well. FlOCkS Of turkeys were kept
by the Aztec Indians.
One reason the AZtecs kept these
fowls was to make use of their
feathers. The feathers we're valued
for decoration.
Some idea of the many turkeys
in Mexico may be gained from an
entry in an old Aztec account-book.
In this record we find that 5000
turkeys had been obtained for the
royal palace in Mexico City.
After Mexico was conquered, the
Spaniards sent a number of tame
turkeys TO Spain. That seems to
have been the start of turkey
raising by farmers in Europe.
Since then. turkeys have become
barnyard fowls on thousands of
farms in Europe as well as in the
New World.
Turkeys on farms in Our land are
descended from those the Aztecs
kept in focks.
