soul. If one should seem to roar
more loudly with glee than the
others, he is soon joined by the
party. and the whoops and shouts
are always good to hear.
There is no need for alarm clocks
for those who must arise with the
dawn. With the "clockbird" always
near by to call one dullard or
sleepy head, and no way of shutting
him off, the morning gets a good
start, and the gurgling notes of the
bird remain with one the trying
day through
There is a legend that the dis
couraged settlers thought at first
the bird was taunting them about
their tribulations. But they soon
realized that the kookaburra was
trying to be friendly and cheer
them up. So they joined in the
merrymaking at dawn and sun
down, and soon found they had
forgotten all about being homesick.

interested than ever in the fora

It is with delight one finds that the

has been chosen as the Australians
national bird.
All you have to do is to take
note of the broad bill, chunky
head and general build to recognize
him as a cousin of our kingfsher.

Losing Ground
Through South
BY r.. c. FORBES

IN THE SOUTH. April 80
Strangely. this writer finds, after
recent visits TO leading Pacific
Coast cities. 20 Chicago, Detroit
and many other areas, that the
greatest change in political scnti-
ment has developed throughout
the South.
You would have assumed that,
in view of all that the present
federal administration has done for
the southland, its popularity would
rate ace-high. Nevertheless, it is
brought home to you from all sides
that Franklin d. Roosevelt is not
today the hundred-per-cent hero
he was the day before yesterday.
Some of the staunchest, rock
ribbed democratic papers are
amazingly critical of various New
Deal policies. They contrast the
latter with true-blue Jefferson
ianism. With increasing boldnesS

ago-thcy declare dissatisfaction

,Ahrens Loses Few

Just returned from a trip that
touched a dozen strategic retail
markets. D. Z. Ahrens. general
sales manager of Cadillac, OK
pressed satisfaction over the
manner in which dealers are
weathering war-inposed restric-
. lions.
"For several months we have
been emphasizing that the auto
mobile dealers chief hope Of
survival lies in q bigger service
business and a smaller over
head" he remarked. From
what ] have learned In confer
ences on this tour, our dealers
have adopted the suggestions
more earnestly than any pre-
yious factory program"
As substantiation for his con-
fidence, Ahrens cited factory
records that disclose his organ
zation has lost less than one
per cent of its dealers since
November.
Even more revealing on our
maintenance Of strong force
Is the fact that the few dealers
we lost accounted for only Is
per cent Of our 1911 volume"
he added.
