Women Urged
To Shop During

To Ease Heavy
TRANSPORT Burden
Burden

As the heavy-buying pre-Easter
season increases the load on public
transportation, non-employed home
makers are reminded by the Once
of Defense Transportation that they
can help in the war effort by OBJ
serving a four-hour midday shop
ping period.
Women now are asked by the ODT
to begin their shopping day nc
earlier than 10 o'clock in the morn
ing and to quit shopping centers no
later than 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
This is necessary to leave room for
essential workers who must travel
during peak-load periods, 1t Is ex-
planned.
The ODT also requests mothers to
pay particular attention to their
shopping time on Saturday, usually
set aside for outfitting children.
Where the wartime work week is
in effect, weekday rush-hour crowds
of workers must be handled on
Saturday as well as other days, 1t
was pointed out.
Bulky hat or suit boxes carried by
pre-Easter shoppers tend to delay
normal passenger movement in and
out of buses and streetcars, it was
emphasized.
The ODT especially frowns on
making day Of it downtown,
a day that might begin at bargain
counter as soon as the stores open
and continue with lunch, more shop
ping, maybe movie and a last
minute scramble for the 5 o'clock
bus.

Beavers Battle Engineers

Ingham county, Michigan, road
commission engineers, with the aid
of a trapper, have solved high
way construction problem which has
puzzled them for two years.
A family of beavers did it.
Alaiedon township was the loca-
ton of the knotty road building prob
lem. The beavers had selected a
timbered hideout along the poplar
lined branch of Mud creek. A trou-
blesome sink hole developed at the
point where the stream crosses a
township road.
The problem was made more COM
pick by the fact that the beavers
had constructed dam in the creek
branch and kept the swamp thor
oughly flooded. Engineers learned
by tests that hard bottom was 60
feet from the surface of the old
road.
Persisting in their efforts to build
a firm road across the three-quar-
ter-of-a-miIe stretch of swamp, the
county engineer obtained permit
from the state conservation depart
ment to trap the beavers. A trap
per was employed and he caught
three of the animals.

Mute Swan, Once Eaten,
Now Has ROYAL Tradition

The mute swan, Cygnus olor. has
a royal tradition. The species is
said to have been introduced into
England from Cyprus by King Rich
ard Coeur-de-Lion on his return from
one Of the Crusades. In Henry Wis
reign the theft of swans eggs was
punishable with fine and years
imprisonment. To this day the king
of England shares with the ancient
Winners and Dyers' companies the
ownership of all the many swans on
the Thames river The swannery at
Cookham, near Windsor, belongs to
the king. and it is thence that George
" and Edward VIII sent presents OF
swans to both Canada and South
Africa.
Queen Victoria used to send every
member of the royal family a pres
ent of a cygnet or young swan on
New Years day, but mute swans
are not now regarded as table birds.
In the past, however, the mute swan
was highly esteemed as food, and
accounts of banquets show that
numbers of the great birds-full
grown, they weigh between "a and
40 pounds-were dished. x
