THE FORUM


The Victims Of Unfair Practices
Ironically, while declaring its
patriotism and willingness TO de-
fend the institutions Of America,
the Negro group is still the VIC
tim Of the grossest, the most un-
fair, and the most barbarous treat
ment at the hands of those, who.
most loudly, have been crying
for war, and promoting the war
hysteria which now envelopes us.
Liberal journals Of public opin-
ion are calling attention to the
fact that the Labor and Agricul-
tural groups which furnish basic
support for Mr.. Roosevelt's New
Deal policies are now lukewarin
and tntagonistic.
Despite the genesour favors
they have received during the
past nine years at the hands Of
Mr.. Roosevelt's administration,
represented BY every species Of
favoritism, they are cool and in
different. They are not whole
heartedly supporting the Presi-
dent in his foreign policies ex-
cent when they are able to ex-
tort comparably larger and larg.
er favors in their own behalf.
Take Labor. for instance.
Work stoppages for eight months
in 1910 were responsible for g.
807,l67 man-days OF labor lost
through strikes. During the per-
iod of intensest moment and inn
rortance to the country, when
all-out war preparation is being
called for II 1922 man-days
were lost during the first eight
months of 1911.
During September, October
and November thfs amazingly
large number Of mandays lost
has climbed to an even greater
total. while Labor has been 9c-
manding its pound-upon-noun

UNCLE RAYS CORNER Tailor Bird Stitches Case for Nest

The bird world has its "weavers,"
also its "tailors.' Both the weaver
birds and the tailor birds are found
mainly in the torrid zone.
Indias tailor bird is famed for
its skill in sewing. With threads
which it gathers it can make neat
and firm case for its nest.
The tailor bird finds a place in
tree or bush where the nest is to
be. placed. Usually this is not more
than six or eight feet above the
ground, but some nests are fastened
to tree branches 40 or so feet high.
One large leaf may be enough
for the case. The rims of the leaf
are sewed together to make it form
a cup.
Other tailor birds use two or
three leaves which grow close to-
gether. They stab holes with their
beaks near the edges of the leaves;
through these holes, they pass the
thread.
The threads are usually of wool,
hair, cotton or grass. They seldom
are more than six or seven inches
long, and often have a length of
only two or three inches. The ends
OF the threads are knotted so they
won't slip through the holes. The
ability of these birds to make knots
is looked upon as one of the won
ders OF Nature"

Officers Given
First Aid Course

Seventeen conservation officers,
one from each conservation dis
trict in Michigan, received special
training last week in the newest
methods of furnishing first aid TO
forest fire fighters injured or
burned in action on the fire front.
When the II officers return to
their stations next week. they will
pass along to fellow officers the
new training in first aid of this
kind and in water safety practice.
In remote places, the aid furnished
before help of doctor is obtained
may be critical.
Blair Bronstad, field repre-
sentative of the st. Louis regional
office of the Red Cross. is conduct
ing the one-week training school
at the forest fire experiment
stations.
First aid is routine work for
conservation officers on patrol,
and records of their reScues of
lost and drowning are numerous.

Tourists: Avoid
StrdngePIdnts

Tourists to Washington, d C.,
and along the Mohawk and Hudson
River functions are warned TO
avoid collecting a strange plant,
which is native only to Europe and
Asia and which mysteriously APP
peared in these eastern waters
along the Atlantic coast about 20
years ago.
The mysterious plant, known as
water caltrop or water chestnut
has been giving United States
Army engineers a hard time, Fish
and Wildlife experts report.
Water caltrop or water chestnut
spreads rapidly in fresh waters
where il takes hold and soon i'm
pedes navigation and chokes out
good waterfowl food plants. Fish
avoid these plants.
Officials say no one seems TO
know when or how this noxious
plant became established. Visitors
are major source of potential
distribution. 1t is attractive and its
fruit novelty.
In the Potomac the seeds sprout
early in April. Roseates appear on
the surface of the water by the
middle of May. Flowers appear in
June and new seeds begin TO
mature in July. 1t is this season
that the tourist is most attracted
TO the plant.

dagger, he hunched alert and still
for many. many minutes.
In his beak, glinting gold in
the sun, now was held a finny
victim, flashing silver. The heron
in a lightning movement had
struck. The fish was held cross
wise in the birds beak.
Unhurriedly, the heron walked
TO the marshy river bank and
then tossed his catch into the
air, deity taking the fish into
his throat head first. This
movement was incredibly swift.
Writings of the fish were
clearly seen as it passed down
the long, slim gullet of the
heron. The bird shook himself.
We shuddered.
Apparently dissatisfied with
fishing that had resulted in only
a six-inch catch over so long a
time, the heron now stalked his
prey. Deliberately, with savage
cunning, he moved forward in
the shadows; each foot was
withdrawn and slipped again
into the water so stealthily
that hardly a ripplet was set IN
motion.
