Must TroveI Swiftly
To Nip Tribe Duo

You'll admit that Rizzuto and
Priddy will have to travel swiftly to
tie the feat of Boudreau in his fresh
man year-101 runs batted in, 1875
hits, including IS doubles, and an
average of .295, which fails to reflect
the big Illinois boys power.
Mr.. Mack, also a blaster, hit .283
and drove in SO runs. He had $50
hits, among them II homers.
To be sure, there are other COM
petitors in this keystone sweepstakes.
The Boston Bees are proud of Eddie
Miller and Alabama Rowell. The
Cardinals glory in Martin Marion
and Jimmy Brown. The Dodgers
sneer at the notion that any two
men can field with Peewee Reese
and Pete Coscarart, and the Giants
will take no CUFF when they have
Bill Jurges and Burgess Whitehead
In action.
Somehow the New York Yankees
and their hackers always make the
most noise. Last year it was Joe
Gordon-you heard so much about
this honest young fellow being the
worlds greatest second baseman that
the Boston Red SoX nearly went
nuts. They used to stop old ladies
In the street to assure them there
was nothing Gordon could do that
their own Bobby Doerr couldn't do.

one says good-by. This is not humiii
ating; it is the correct way to pay ones
debt
A real nuisance in almost every busy
persons life is a friend who, having
nothing else to do. kills time by call
ing up and talking about nothing -
on, and on, and on! There are certain
people who are liked very much; but
when those whose time is valuable
hear these voices on the telephone -
and 1t is almost certain to be a her
- they can't help wondering how to
escape. No matter how glad a busy
person may be to talk for short
while, it is nerve-Stralning to be kept
from work by the half hour or more.
In other words, woman. who has
nothing to do but lie in her bed for
most of the morning and talk on the
telephone, can certainly call up as
many as she can ''get around to- of
those whose mornings are spent in
identical fashion. But to call man
at his office or a woman who has any
sort OF work to do is Incredibly in
considerate.
The most inexcusable telephone
behavior is, of course, that of caves
dropping - either on party wire or
on house extension. And the worst
offender of all is the parent who does
this to hear what a daughter or son
is saying to friend, This is almost
as bad as opening sons or daugh-
ters letters. In fact, well-bred people
avoid overhearing any other PERSONS
conversation.
Another point to be remembered
by parents is the Importance of
friendly and yet injurious attitude
toward those asking for sons or daugh-
ters. I'm sorry" said in a friendly
tone. "Mary's out" and lightly:
May | give her message?" is
nice answer Or; 'Johnny's out -
expect him back in about an hour"
Never give evidence of guessing what
girl is asking for Johnny or what boy
for Mary.

"HE chimney swift has been
clocked at more than hundred

|" HE chimney swift has been
clocked at more than a hundred
- miles an hour Excepting the
duck hawk, he is the swiftest bird that
flies. And the unique thing about this
speedster is that his wings beat alter
nately rather than in unison.
He catches his food, bathes and
drinks while on the wing. From the
time he leaves his chimney until he
returns to it, he is never known to
light. 1t has been estimated that
individuals may cover thousand miles
in single day in search of food.
Even his love-making is an aerial
adventure, as the gentleman pursues
the lady repeating his cheerful chit
ehit-chn in rapid-fire appeal. Once
mated, he and his helpmeet secure
their nesting material in flight by
striking dead branches with their feet
or bills.
The material is carried to chimney
and fashioned into a semicircular
nest against the inside, glued together
by the salivary secretion of the birds.
Here the female deposits from four to
six elongated, glossy eggs. and both
male and female incubate them. The
chimney swifts do no damage what
ever to the ChimneyS,

An Unsoived Mystery

lHEY don't, of course; but can any
bird student tell you better? The
southwark journey of the chimney
swifts from this country is one of the
unsolved mysteries of migration.
Thousands of them have been cap
tured by members of the Biological
Survey for the purpose of banding.
Not one band has been returned to the
Biological Survey to solve the mys-
terry.
When you remember that all parts
OF the globe are subject to almost con-
tinuous exploration by men trained in
observation, men who would like to
solve the riddle of the swifts, it seems
strange that not single authentic
report has been made of their winter
home.
The bird is easily identified. Small,
swift, cratic, batlike in fight, sooty-
olive, he appears to have no tail at
all and has been described as flying
cigar"
He is gentle and inoffensive with
other birds, so swift that even the
hawk in his swoop cannot capture him.
Sportive, frolicsome, living entirely
on insects, he is highly beneficial
to man.

Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON w. BURGESS

When Billy Mink cried "Stop"
Bobby Coon stopped. He stopped
with one paw lifted and just ready
to put down in the middle of the
little opening in that fence which
had so puzzled him. He turned
his head to look back at Billy Mink.
Why should I stop he demanded
and he spoke rather GROSSLY.
Because. if you take one more
step forward. it will be the last
step you ever will take" snapped
Billy.
Bobby didn't take that forward
step. Instead he backed away in
such a hurry that it really was
funny. You would have thought
he had burned his toes. Then he
turned around to face Billy Mink.
What sort of nonsense it this?'
he growled. Il don't see anything
wrong"
Billy grinned. you may not
see anything wrong" said he. "but
II you had put your foot down in
that little opening you would have
felt something wrong. Yes, indeed.
you would have felt something
wrong. You certinly would. There
is a trap hidden there. I suspect
it was set for me, but I guess the
trapper who set it would almost as
soon catch you as me-"
pahh,, CNoo hI;,l,ol orI 1ooiroJ
very hard at Billy Mink to see if
he were fooling. When he saw
the angry red in Billy's eyes he
knew that Billy wasn't fooling.
Goodness. that was a narrow es-
cape!" exclaimed Bobby. I'm ever
so much obliged to you, Billy Mink.
hope that some day I can do
something for you. If you handn't
happened along tonight I guess I
would be in terrible fix right now
Do you suppose that trapper built
that little fence?"
"Of course" retorted Billy Mink
''He built it so that the only way
of going up or down the Laughing
Brook without taking lot of trouble
would be to go through that little
| opening, and no one could get
through that little opening without
stepping in that trap. There's
another one set just the same way
on the other side Of the Laughing
Brook"
Bobby Coon looked across and for
the first time he saw the other little
fence. Bobby's face became very
sober. Eve ought to do something
about those traps" said he. I'VE
are the only ones who know any,
thing about them and we can't sit
here all the time to warn others
who may be travelling up and down
the Laughing Brook I wouldn't
want my worst enemy to be caught
in one of those dreadful traps.
What can We do to warn others?'
Il don't know" replied Billy Mink.
II guess We'll have to put our heads
together and think up something
You know. two heads are better
than one"
Bobby nodded. Lets go back
to that old log there and talk it
over" said he. And this is Just
what they did.
