BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY.

1t is too bad these famous night
hunters have been given such an
unsavory reputation by those who
are unacquainted with their i'm
portant services to mankind. Work.
ing during the dark hours, when
we are unable to observe their ac-
tivities, they give no hint Of their
presence until mysterious
"who-oo!" is broadcast from the
ghoStly shadows. Then icy chills
race up and down our spines, and
distorted pictures come into our
minds, for what is unseen has
strange effect upon us.
You will enjoy knowing the truth
about these fascinating neighbors.
During the day they must sleep
all night workers do. In the family
or bachelor quarters, located in a
clay bank, a hole In a tree or a
deserted home of a crow or hawk,
the hunter will be found sitting
bolt upright, oblivious to all the
daytime activities going on around
him.
These nocturnal allies of ours are
especially equipped for their mode
of life. Their noiseless flight is
possible because the wing feathers
lack an aftershaft. All plumage is
soft and downy, enabling the flyer
to go through the air silently. The
wings are long and strong and capa-
BILE of carrying the flyer and his
captured dinner without difficulty.
Very sharp, long claws grasp and
hold the prize while pressure is
brought to bear upon the victim
until its struggles cease.
Large, fixed, staring eyes can dis
Germ in the darkest night q sour
rying or crouching animal, whether
it be cottontail, gopher, shrew,
Norway rat, mouse. reptile or small
bird. You can understand from
this list why the long-eared owl
is a friend of ours. His eyes are
directed forward, so in order to see
what goes on out of his line of
vision-which Is straight ahead
he must turn his head. The amaz-
ing thing is how far the bird can
do this without wringing its own
neck!
The beautiful eyes are surrounded
by a radiating system of feathers
known as the facial disk. This is

More Frequent 3-Hour
Test Periods Urged
In Resolution

ton last night voiced objection to
the 10-hour blackout scheduled next

hours and at more frequent inter-
walls in the future. The District

ear tufts are re.

sponsible for this owls name. They
help to amplify the night sounds,
and 1t is said that the marvellous
hearing of the owl is more i'm
portant than its sight.
The beak Is sharp and strong
the tearing type. The owl upon
reaching home rips of pieces OF
the animal, and, not being fas-
tidious, swallows feathers, bone and
hair. Later the undigested parts
of the meal are disgorged as pei
lets. Found at the foot of a tree,
these pellets quite frequently are
the only evidence that an owl is
domiciled in the neighborhood.
The long-eared owl polices the
greater part of Northern North
America. He is q large bird, 1915
inches long with a wing spread of
32-42 inches. His camouflaged coat
of blackish brown and grayish white
makes it possible for him to escape
your notice. But he is a valuable
and worthy ally of ours and as
such Is entitled to our protection.
