Dear Sir:
I'm some very large American elm
trees in the rear of the police station
about two weeks ago thousands of little
pale yellow birds arrived and early in
the morning they fiocked to the ground
and chirped like sparrows.
They are the size of a small Eng
lish sparrow and clear yellow with
olack cap on the head and black on
the edge of the wings.
apparently the female is a dull
green. some Of them nearly brown. I
have looked through all of my bird books
and the nearest can come to Identify
ing them is the yellow warbler or the
goldflnch, but these birds seem to be
much smaller than the goldfnch. Have
you any idea what they can be? They
keep up constant chit-chat. I will
look with interest for your reply. They
are not Baltimore orioles.
Sincerely yours, c. w. K"
ROUND HILL, VA.
Dear Sir:
II have bird problem that would
very much like to have some help with,
as soon as possible. For IL days now
little warbler which a colored Illus
trated bird book calls Sunshine, the
yellow warbler, has been flying against
the windows around my house, perch
Ing on the set-in screens and on an
aerial which runs across two other
double windows.
Presumably he thinks he sees an
other bird in the window, but he comes
so early in the morning sometimes 7
don't see how he has enough light to
see anything in the glass. I have had
this to happen before, with other birds,
but never for this length of time, and
it's beginning to be nuisance. I dis
like the idea of killing him. Can you
make any suggestions?
Il enjoy your column. and you nearly
always have an answer-here's hoping.
VERY sincerely, B. B. p"

Here's that pigeon with the bread
collar again!
At times birds and animals in dis
tress seem very stubborn. It is often
extremely difficult to help them. The
more one tries, the more the creature
backs away or refuses to cooperate.
Several heavy rains ought to have
helped the pigeon melt off his collar.
We can hope for the best. Previous
report of this poor bird was from a
point close by.
The yellow birds probably were gold
f1nches. The wild canary is, after all,
small bird, being but inches long.
AS stated here many times many OBJ
servers fail to recognize the goldfinch
IN its various dresses. The male in
summer has lemon yellow body and
black wings and tail; the male in VIM
ter, and the female at all seasons, has
the upper parts olive-brownish and
the under parts gray-white, with wings
and tail blackish. The adult female
is more brownish in winter. The young
are much like the mother.
The way to drive off q persistent win
dow-pecking bird is to outdo the bird
IN persistence. Peck back every time
he pecks. If he is driven off every time
he comes, he will finally stay away.
Our correspondent should make sure
that this bird is not somebody's pet
canary which has flown away and is
trying TO ind . home.

Errol Flynn Says
Sure, I'm Married.
BY the Associated Press.

HOLLYWOOD. Feb. 8. - Enrol
Flynn's studio issued a statement
today on his behalf saying:
whats all the commotion about?
Sure, I'm married, and I like it, and
it's nobody's business but ours"
Flynn, who arrived in New York
yesterday from Mexico, was nom
committal about his reported mar
riage to Nora Eddington, 20-year-
old former cigar countergirl in the
Los Angeles County Hall Of Justice,
who reported the birth of a child in
Mexico City January 10 to herself
and Flynn.
The actors statement, as made
public today, did not name his wife.
Miss Eddington's father, Jack Ed
dington, a Navy chief yeoman and
former Sheriff's secretary, said last
Tuesday that the couple was mar
ried in Acapulco, Mexico, in August,
1913.
Flynn met Miss Eddington, friends
said, during his trial in February,
1943, on charges of statutory as
sault, of which he was acquitted.
She joined him In Mexico the fol-
lowing August for a vacation which
her mother, Mrs. Becky Eddington,
said she spent as the guest of a
countess friend of the actor.
Flynn was divorced from Actress
Lili Damita in 1912 after nearly
seven years Of marriage. Their son,
Sean Leslie Flynn, then 2, was
awarded to the mother.

VISION IN LUXEMBOURG, Feb. 3
There Is probably no military
unit on the western front less ortho-
dox than Uncle Buds beat-ups,"
Uncle Bud is Maj. Gen. William M
Miley, 45, commander Of the nth
Airborne Division who comes from
Starkville, Miss. His 'beat-ups,
rough, ready and not afraid of
the dark, comprise a reconnaissance
company commanded by Capt. Dud-
ley A. Hill, 80, Amarillo, Tex.
Before coming into action many
of the "beat-ups" were problem
children. Then went AWOL, and
often said the wrong things to the
wrong people. When the problem as
to what to do with II castoffs IN
the stockade arose some one sug-
gested that they be transferred to
Capt. Hills company. The sugges-
ton was adopted.
But things are different now. The
beat-ups are the pride of the 17th

German lines, frequently as far as
2 or 3 miles, gathering information
They have made more than As COM

them, however, have been wounded
