Water ouzels are facinating birds.
They can walk on the bottom with
swift running water racing over
their heads and they can, if they
wish to, fly under water, actually
using their wings as they do in the
air.
There is only one member of the
family in the United States, in the
Rocky Mountains and also in the
mountains of California. Many call
this bird the dipper. It is chunky

Uncle Roy's Corner
By RAMON COLEMAN.

While talking with DR.. John L
Simon CT New York City. found
that he had performed medical
service IN Spain at the time of the
Franco revolt. He helped the SOL
diers on the Loyalist side; those
soldiers suffered many attacks from
German and Italian airplanes and
tanks, as well as from the forces
of Franco.
While we're on the Aragon
front said DR.. Simon, we turned
kind of cave into hospital.
There we're no buildings in the area
which could be used for the pur-
pose. Those which had existed be-
fore had been bombed heavily. So
we used al excavation in the side
of a cliff. with an overhanging ledge
of rock serving as roof. The place
had been used as a stable. but we
made IT as clesL as possible and
laid down fresh hay to serve as
bedding for the wounded"
l asked d. Simon whether he had
gone through any narrow escapes.
Here is his reply:
ON March Is. 1888. the remnants
Of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade
were trying to hold the town of
Caspe in Aragon. AS battalion doc
tor, l came up to join the forces
in the town. When l arrived. an
English soldier known as Jim came
to my ambulance. He reported that
wounded men had not been
brought behind the lines. and asked
whether ] could send help.
Instead of waiting TO send a
first-aid man, l went with the SOL
dier myself Through the main
street o: CaSpe We walked. seeing
neither friend nor foe. A quarter
Of mile down, we turned to the
left on a road leading out of town.
"As We walked along that road
ue suddenly saw what looked like
million lights bursting before US.
In moment l was in a gutter at
the side of the road, and Jim was
also there.
Bullets we're whistling all around
us. making little splashes in the
dust. They kept Oh coming, and
We figured out what had happened.
We had moved close to an enemy
tank, and its inmates had mistaken
us for dynamiters. The business of
dynamiters was to creep near tank
and blast II with dynamite.
Our chances seemed poor; if one
bullet did not hit U.s.. another one
must. Painfully We crawled back
ward in our gutter We heard the
noise of the tanks engine. Were
they coming for us? Was this the
end?
Happily for us, the tank was not
coming forward. 1t had turned
back! Doubtless its inmates feared
there were many dynamiters besides
US in the neighborhood.
We escaped with our lives, but
never did find the wounded man,
though We later searched for him
a great deal more l feel sure that
some one else had rescued him"

Whenever any of the feathered folk
happened to meet Bully as he flew
about the Old Orchard they held
their heads very high and pretend
ed not to see him at all. At first
Bully didn't mind this, but when
Welcome Robin made an unkind
remark about strangers, Bully sud-
denly darted up behind Welcome
Robin and plucked two feathers
from the back of his head before
he realized what was happening.
After that the little people in
