THIS AND THAT
BIZ Charles E. Trdce1cell.

No doubt she had memories Of being
shut up In the box in the Toulouse.
Never once has she come to hand since.
She perches on a low branch In the
maple, and there hops back and forth,
turning around now and then, In the
movement which identifies her for sure.
If 1t were not for this, and peculiar
high and excited note in her chirping,
her human friends would never have rec
ognized her.
She is very handsome bird, as fat as
they come, but still with the unusual
amount of white showing at the rear.
She is so plump, however, so very large,
that 1t is difficult to believe that it is
the somewhat weasened small creature
which took off that late August day for
the nearby woods.
Certainly it is pleasing to have her
back. Yet what a miniature problem
she will create if she does not leave for
the South after all
to 60 into cage.
Whether she would occupy the tool
house for the winter we doubt now.
We are beginning to wonder if her
bringing up "by hand" has diverted her
too much from her instincts.
Suppose she does not answer the call
to migrate?
The other morning we thought she had
gone at last.
1t was the next day after we had heard
her voice to the South
This morning there was no sound of
her.
The usual chant of Lilly Belle, Lilly
Belle" brought no answering chatter.
Lilly was gone this time sure enough.
The day seemed just little sadder.
Maybe it was the lack of sunshine We
were glad the Cardinals had won. It
couldn't be that.
1t must be Lilly Belle.
The next morning when we opened the
door there was Lilly, calling out in her
best style
So she hadn't gone South at all!
The time would come, but this wasn't
1t. There she was, as large as life, and
twice as handsome
1t is impossible not to marvel over the
growth of all young things We watch
it all our lives and yet it is always
miracle. We never get used to it, How
can any one get used to miracles?
We are quite determined that Lilly
Belle will fly to South Carolina.
There's State for you-and for robins,
too.
When she goes we will wish her "a
fearless wing and sure reward" in
cluding a return next Spring to the
maple tree and the raisins in our own
back yard, and hers.

station has been pre-empted for the
most part by all-day parkers. The
Commissioners took a notable step
forward yesterday when they ap-
proved recommendations by Traffic
Director Van Duzer limiting parking
around the plaza and on nearby
streets to one hour, in some areas less
than an hour. If the regulation is
properly enforced there should be
much improvement.
The driveways at the east and west
OF the station are on private property
and 1t took an act of Congress, passed
some time ago, to enable the Com
missioners to enforce any regulations
they might make regarding its use
by automobiles. They have not yet
made the regulations, but eventually
hope to get around to it. There
should be some space designated and
kept available for private automobiles
transporting the sick or the lame.
Any one who has faced this problem
recently can appreciate the need for
such reservations.
