Republican leaders wanted the

Spangler to call Republican leaders
to Mackinac Island, Mich, two
months ago to adopt a declaration
for international cooperation.
Spangler said then he wanted to
prove that the Republican party
was not isolationist.
Sen. Burton K Wheeler. D.,

few minutes before the vote was
taken, however, that "if you think
this eliminates foreign policy as
a campaign issue you are mis-

Before adopting the resolution

Of shoebills those which are not hit

there until the danger seems to be

During this month of July many
shoebills are digging holes in dry

make a resting place for eggs. The
nest is a simple hole, with no lining
of feathers or grass.

Uncle Rays Corner

The heart of Africa has a river
known as the White Nile. This river
is one of the headstreams of "the
Nile" which flows through Egypt.
Around the White Nile certain
birds are found. They are known as
"shoebills" and belong to the heron
family. No other heron has such a
big bill. The bill, or beak, Is from
to 10 inches long and it is thick as
well as long. At the base it is from
3 to S inches thick!
How does it happen that the shoe
bill has such large, strong beak?
The answer to that question may
be found in its food. 1t feeds largely
on fish which have heavy, bony
scales. To hold and crush fish of
that type the birds bill must be
very strong.
The shoebill when full grown Is
about feet high. Its long legs are
we'll fitted for wading.
In the valley of the White Nile
person may see single pair of shoe
bills or he may see flock of IS or
100 of them. They gather in the
water looking for fish and water
snakes.
If shoebills see people or large
animals coming near they are likely
to rise and fly a short distance UP
or down the river. Then they settle
again and go on with their feeding.
