WHITE-WINGED CROSSBILL

WHITE-WINGED CROSSBILL.
(Loria leucoptera)
The crossbill Is the only Ameri-
can bird which has the strange
crossing of the bills. Yet it is just
what he needs in making his living.
The white-winged member of the
crossbill family is somewhat larger
than the American crossbill. The
birds resemble each other very
much. The red of the male is
either rose-red or crimson. The
wings of both sexes, old and young,
wear the two conspicuous white
bars.
This is the least known of the
crossbills and ranges little farther
north to the Arctic seas. The birds
gather in active fiocks. They are
shy birds, remaining in the trees
when there is food there for them,
and all one hears is a cheerful
"cheep, cheep," which may become
quite loud.
Sometimes there will be very few
of the white wings in their known
haunts. Then will appear a hand
some flock of beautiful, rosy-red
males, their white wing bars max
ing it very easy to identify them.
The courting song is beautiful,
more musical than that broadcast
by the red crossbill cousin. 1t is
sung to the mate in a low, soft,
warbling chant, resembling that
sung by the redpoll.
The nest is placed in conifers,
usually within 20 feet of the ground.
The cozy nursery's exterior wall is

need to sew certain pieces together
to make fingers of the proper length.
When it came time to prepare
the thumbs of your gloves, you
would find it a hard task to get
them right. Before that moment,
perhaps you would decide that you
had better go to store and buy
gloves instead of trying to make
them!
Machines are used to do some Of
the work of making gloves, but there
also is hand labor. Glove factories
have experts who know their task
we'll The trade is very old one,
and it brought about the family
name of Glover" The only man
I know named Glover is a minister
Of the gospel, but at least one Of
his ancestors must have earned his
living in the glove industry.
In making leather gloves, there
are problems of tanning the leather
in the right way The leather which
goes into some gloves is treated with
mixture Of flour, alum and egg
yolk.
A kid is a young goat or young
antelope, and the skin of kid can
be made into fine, soft gloves. Some
kid gloves are made from kidskin,
but sheepskin is used far more
widely.
Kid gloves may be good for
"dress," but they are hardly good
for warmth. If we want to keep
our hands warm while outdoors on
cold day, it is we'll to wear some
other kind of gloves, or else put
our hands in our pockets!
Fur-lined gloves have kept many
hands comfortable during bitter
weather, and woolen gloves have
done a great deal of work of the
same kind.
During the Middle Ages, men
used gloves as a challenge to fight.
A knight threw glove at the feet
Of another man to dare him to sin
gle combat.
In southwestern Asia, it was once
custom to hand over a glove when
property was sold. The seller would
give the glove to the person who
bought the house or piece Of land.
This was sign of good faith on
the part of the seller when he took
| the money.

Uncle Roy's Corner

If you wanted to make a pair OF
leather gloves for yourself, how
would you go about it?
I shall not try to give exact di-
rections, but here are few points:
You would need two oblong pieces
of soft leather of proper size. Each
piece would have to be doubled over,
and then you would cut Sits for
fingers and make holes for thumbs.
After the Sits were cut, you would

constructed of evergreen twigs,
shreds of bark and rootlets. The
inner walls are upholstered with
soft moss, leaves, grass and cottony
fibers. These are all expertly woven
together like a felt. 1t is an excel
lent piece of work.
Three to five light blue eggs,
spotted around the larger end with
sepia, black and lilac, are laid in
this snug nursery in late winter,
when there is a blanket of snow
still on the ground.
Pine-cone seeds are an important
part of the crossbill's menu. These
are easily obtained by means of
the sharp-pointed crossbill The
closed bill is inserted into the side
of the cone. The mandibleS are

opened with a swift motion that
tears out the cone scales, leaving
the seeds exposed at their bases.
These seeds are quickly seized by
the scooplike tongue.
Crossbills have little economic

of the gardener or the orchardist.

PURPLE HEART AWARDED
PVT. LUTHER JUSTICE

Mr.. and Mrs. Freezing Justice,
of near Clintwood have receiv-
ed a letter from the war depart
ment giving them all known de-
tails of the death of their son,
Pvt. Luther Justice, killed in the
fighting in Italy some weeks ago.
According to information re-
ceived, he was killed in action
on April 10, 1914, three miles
north of Nettuno, Italy, as a
result of shrapnel wounds. No
other details were known.
Another letter from the Secre
tary of War informed Mr.. Justice
that the Purple Heart, a medal
given to men wounded in action,
has been awarded posthumously
to their son. This letter, in part
was as follows:
"The President has requested
me to inform you that the Pur-
pie Heart has been awarded pos
thumously to your son, Luther
Justice, of the engineers who
sacrificed his life in defense of
his country. The medal, which
you will receive shortly, is of
slight intrinsic value, but rich
with the tradition for which
Americans are so CALAMITY Civ
ing their lives. The Father of our
country, whose profile adorns
the medal, speaks from across the
centuries to the men who fight
today for the proud freedom he
founded"

Monday afternoon for the pur-
pose of passing a dog quaran-

Relic ofGvil
War Found
at freezing


Parks Hawkins, of near
Freezing, looking for his catae'9n
ridge near his home 5receuv;
happened to notice rusty me-
tadic looking object protguding
from the ground. ~
Pulling the object from its long
resting place and scraping away
part Of the rust, he found it to
have been gun as ancient look
ing as the one Rip Van Wrinkle
found lying beside him when he
awoke from his long sleep. The
stock had, of course, long since
rotted away, but the remainder
with hammer, triggers, and clasp,
through which to fasten a strip
of leather that went around the
neck and shoulders in order to
carry the gun more easily, were
intact. The barrel is over three
foot long and evidently carried a
large slug of lead when in firing
condition. es6
It is generally surmised q that
the gun was of the type used in
the Civil War and that it was
lost at least 80 years ago in one
of the few small scale skirmish-
: es that occurred in this section
between Union and Confederate
forces.
Andy Phipps, near patriarch
of Cutter Branch, says that he
heard one of his relatives who
participated in that war say that
in crossing ridge in this Sec
ton he hid his gun at time
when he feared capture and was
never after able to find it.
Hawkins has the ancient relic
stored a way at his home. 1t has
been suggested that it might be
valuable addition to one of the
museums specializing in an
tiques.

The all-request program for next Tuesday evenings concert of re- corded music at the Base Library includes works of Beethoven, Schn- bert and Offenbach.
 The playing of Beethoven's En- peror Concert for piano will in- troduce the program. Whole armies of warriors pass by in this great work, for Beethoven's music was colored by the reflections of great wars. It has been said that Bee thoven made bad jokes; he said and did disgracefully rude and vul- gar things. But out of the trials and torments of his body and soul he composed great music. The En- peror Concerto IS great music and extremely popular as representa- tive of this genius work.
 It is quite certain that Schubert never heard two of his greatest

It may have been April first but the stork wasn't joking twenty-six years ago today when he left a bouncing baby boy at the home of the Wilkins family in Lawrence vile, Virginia. Since that day in 1918 the boy, who was christened Willie E. Wilkins, has grown to manhood and now holds the respon- sible position of First Sergeant of the 36th Aviation Squadron.
 After completing school, Sgt. Wilkins was employed as chief shipping clerk for a Lawrenceville clothing concern. With the expert ence gained in this position tucked away in his mind he moved to Richmond, the State Capitol, where he was associated with prom inent transportation company.

 Sgt. Wilkins arrived at Bradley Field on IT October 1942 as Acting First Sergeant of the 36th Avia- tion Squadron and sporting the three stripes of a buck sergeant. But that situation was soon rem edied, and on the first of Novem- Der the three stripes were under lined with three rockers and pune tuated with a diamond.

Some say that it was be- cause Schubert himself realized that he could never live up to the standards set by the first two movements. Attempts have been made to complete the work but other composers, too, find the stan- dards beyond them.
 The program will close with Off, Ifenbach's ballet music, Gaiete Pari- sienne, borrowed from popular tunes of the vaudeville and music halls of the late nineteenth cen- tury.
