THE CROW THAT FOOLED A zoo

animals. For Jim fooled everybody
Suppose l told you that we opened
a cage and turned loose captive
crow. The chances are that you would
think we were crazy - that of course
the crow must have flown away.
Nevertheless, the Curator of Birds
at the Zoo was reasonably certain not
only that the crow would come back,
but that it would hang around its
familiar cage until it could be caught
again in box trap and restored to its
old schedule of regular meals.
But this is a story with a double

twist, for the Curator of Birds was
both right and wrong. We did turn
Jim loose, and -
But first, bit about Jim's back
ground. In the fall of 1888 friend of
the Zoo presented the bird collec-,
tion with prime specimen of the fish
crow, bird similar to the ordinary
Eastern crow, but somewhat smaller.
The new crow was casually named
Jim, and its life was uneventful for the
first two springs in its outdoor cage.
But drama developed in the third
spring. Early one morning wild fish
crow showed up.
He lit on top of the cage and craned
his neck over the edge to peer down at
Jim. Jim's response was immediate -

peated over and over. Next morning
the visitor appeared again - and
again on the morning after that.

Jvst a Iksd Spinsfsr

Just Ilfsd Spinsfsr
HE situation resolved itself just as
one would expect. The wild female
scored complete triumph and en-
ticed Jim's suitor away early on the
third morning.
Jim perhaps should have died of
a broken heart. but after week of
fruitless cawing she settled down to
state of Tilted spinsterhood. Life went
on as usual until another spring rolled
around - and the wild male came
back!
At least. it probably was the same
wild male. Though fish crows are
naturally homogeneous. tragedies are
common in their lives. One can ina
gine that the widowed male remem-
bered Jim =. Jim. that fascinating
first love over there in the Zoo.
Once more the trap was baited and
set. But fish crows are notoriously
willy. Besides he didn't want food. All
he wanted was jim.
But jim couldn't get out and he
couldn't get in. The spring length
ened, the mating season waned, and
the male flew away.
Spring after spring he returned.
But always. as the mating period drew
to close, his visits stopped.
In the spring of 1910 the wild fish
crows attentions were more distract
ing than before The male made the
neighborhood ring with his courtship
cries. Jim contributed more than her
share, and for week she went off
her feed.
There was only one thing to do -
let her have her romance. She was
the only fish crow in the Zoos collec-
ton, but only heart of stone could
deny Jim any longer - and the Cura-
tor of Birds has heart of eiderdown.
Love Or Ssevrity7
80 HE ordered jim released. As said
before, he figured that there was a
more than fifty-ffty chance that full
"a hours of liberty would be enough
for her. After all, it is one thing to
have shelter and three square meals
day, and quite another to have to
rustic your own grub.
1t just shows you how wrong even
Curator of Birds can be sometimes.
Preceded and accompanied by no
little fanfare. the hour of Jim's liberia
ton came. Caught up in advance and
confined in small box cage. Jim was
carried out to the portico of the Bird
House, the signal was given, the door
swung open - and Jim was off with
her gentleman friend, heading toward
particular clump of trees along the
river half mile away.
The Curator of Birds snapped the
cage door shut and turned to his head
keeper. "Set the box trap tonight
he said. Keep it there couple of
nights. She'll be back"
Forty-eight hours later Jim did
come back, but she came back with
the air of a person who, pensioned off
after a lifetime in an Office. drops in
now and then to look the old place
over and grin at the colleagues who
still have to work for living.
Jim came back, but she went back,
too. and right away. True love had
triumphed.
For some weeks we saw no more of
Jim, but about month later one of
the Bird House keepers happened to
be tramping along the Bronx River,
down toward that particular clump
of trees half mile away - and in the
tip top of towering elm he spied iwo
fish crows.
Jim and her gentleman friend?
We like to think so.

tor was gallant male whose one idea
was to get her out of the cage and set
up housekeeping with her.
The Curator of Birds had better
idea. Jim was the only fish crow in the
Zoos collection. and he thought it
would be fine if the wild bird could be
caught for cage-mate. So he or
dered a box trap set on the roof OF
Jim's cage - but by the time he had
made his preparations he was too late.
The drama had taken different turn.
The morning before the box trap
was to be set in place, a second wild
fish crow joined the first one on the
roof of Jim's cage. And the newcomer
was female!
There was the drama. the triangle
situation. as poignant to its partlcl-
pants, perhaps. as it would have been

Jims suitor was torn between the
two ladies'. The box trap was hastily
put up on the roof, but the two wild
fish crows ignored its baited invita-
ton.

all are examples of the movement
away from the city central business
district.
The city's growth has been so
rapid that this outward shift has
had no effect on downtown prop
erty. 1t is practically 100 per cent
occupied. The large number of sim
gle persons working for the Gov
ernment generally prefer to live
close in, thereby filling up old
houses on the fringe of the business
district which otherwise might be-
come SlumS.
City planners have long been
studying the causes of decentraliza- :
ton and have endeavored to work
out a solution of the problem.
They believe that there should be
established a stable balance between
the main center and Subcenters

The four sides and bottom of the

and screws for this purpose spacing
the screws every three or four inches.
While this is setting go to work on
the top. In order to make ii air
tight. bevel strips are fitted around
inside the upper edge of the box,
as shown in the illustration.
These strips are cut from lengths
of l-by-2- pine. The 45-degree
bevel must be accurately cut for
a tight At. The strips are mitered
at the corners and are glued in
place. Note that the side strips are
cut along the center line TO leave
a notch one-inch wide for the GEN.
ter crosspiece This crosspiece
measures l inch by 2 inches by 10
inches and is nd-fastened with
screws through the side panels.
The two halves of the top are next
assembled. The frame for the in
sulation pad is flush with the hinge
end of the panel. A projection of
| inch is allowed on the three other
sides. This projection is filled, as
shown in the upper right-hand
detail. with a bevel strip having its
right-angular faces measuring l
inch each If cut accurately these
strips should form a tight fit with
the engle of the bevel strips in
stalled in the box
Use Piano Hinges
At this point sharp block plane
is used to trim the edges of the box
and top panels to match the angles
of the bevel strips. Use sharp
chisel in the corners to smooth out
this bevel The hinges recommend
ed for the top are piano hinges
with l2-inch leaves. Staggered
butt hinges will also serve the pur-
pose. however. Marine flush ring
catches are excellent for top fasten-
ings. but small knob and ordinary
2a-inch bullet catches will do.
Round all edges of the ice box
with sandpaper and give it two or
three coats of a good marine paint
to finish it up. An ice container
can be cut from a square, 1-gallon
can which will just fit into the
box. For carrying equipment, bor-
row an idea from newspaper pho
tographers and fit the box with a
vide web or leather shoulder strap
which passes completely around 1t
and compensates for any out-of-

ton by mass transportation and
highway between all principal CEN
ters and SubcenterS also give a
pattern of fluidity to the city. Some
people fear new means of commune
cation because they feel that a shop
ping district will prosper best if
nobody can get out of it. This is
the old Chinese wall fallacy. Sub
ways and highways run two ways.
They don't just take people away.
They also bring customers in, who
otherwise would never come.
The redesigning and rebuilding of
the blighted areas for their highest
and best economic use, as deter
mined by critical analysis of their
existing and potential place in the
metropolitan economy. is also ad-
vised. 1t is essential that these
areas be made, insofar as ingenuity
can achieve it. just as attractive as
the newer areas to which people
have moved.
The word attractive is used in
its literal sense-these areas must
have the power to attract people,
so that there may be a recentraliza-
ton of residential population near
to the main business district, with
the advantage of proximity to work
/ and stores, no wasted time and
money for transportation, decrease
