Unless you have the good fortune
to see one in ZOO, you probably
will have to go to Mexico or South
America to find jabiru. Now and
then, a few of the breed come to
Texas, but they are very rare
north of the Rio Grande.
The first syllable of the name is
accented. and sounds like the lab"
in "jabber.'
Jabirus are closely related to
storks of Europe and Africa. They
are, indeed, commonly classed as
members of the stork family. The
chief difference is that jabirus have
bills which are slightly curved up
ward Jabirus are wading birds and
their bills are about a foot long,
Their big bills help them to get
their game in the water.
The wing stretch of a good sized
jabiru is about seven feet. These
birds are good flyers. and some of
them are found as far south as
Argentina.
White Plumage.
The plumage of the jabiru is pure
white. It's head and six inches of
the neck are black. From the neck,
two bands of loose skin, scarlet in
color, extend down the chest. When
the jabiru is wounded or angry,
this loose red flesh has been OBJ

Here is an unusual spare-time
hobby, one that is lots of fun and
educational as we'll I'm referring to
corresponding with girls or boys in
other countries, which is a swell way
to learn about young people in other
parts of the world, especially now
with all our problems of world unity.
This hobby is simple-all you do is
write letters, and you can think of
plenty of things to write about. It's
quite economical, too, for all you
need spend is for the paper and a
stamp for each letter Since it takes
up to five or six weeks for letter
to reach its destination, depending
on the distance, you won't have to
write to each Pen Pal oftener than
once a month. AS you see, it doesn't
take much of your time.
You can join a good international
correspondence club for around so
cents, in return for which you re-
ceive names and addresses of several
people in whatever countries you
select.
I have been exchanging letters
with a girl in London for two years
and with seven other girls in six
additional countries for shorter pc
riods, and I have enjoyed every let
ter I have received.
There are several ways of adding
to the interest of corresponding

plenty about boxing. He is rather
modest about it all. but here are
some of his accomplishments:
He has won the boxing champion
ship in junior high school tourna-
mentS for three consecutive years
Three years ago he was f1yweighl
champion of Colorado. Now he is
boxing for the Southeast Boys
Club, with Steve Mamakos. former
contender for the middleweight
title, as his manager
Boxing isn't the only sport he likes
by long shot. He has played foot
ball and baseball for three years
with the Washington Park Buffalos
Some of Herbs likes" are hunt
ing rattlesnakes, fishing. all sports
Cincluding indoor, boogie- -woogie
jazz and the blues, stage plays anc
movies, mountains, girls somewhat
and poetry.
He has entered an original poem
called The Big Fight" about box
ing of course, in the national poetry
contest.
Herb has a few dislikes, too
For instance, he dislikes bossy
people, mathematics, golf, long
hair" music, smoking and drinking.

artists works are in the naturalis-

with the majority of exhibitions this
season at the Arts Club. But there
are plenty OF individual differences.
Miss Perry shows about 80 paint
ings, pastels and Autographs, on the
walls of the reception rooms and
hall, and, in addition, an equal or
greater number of Autographs un-
framed in a portfolio. The collec-
ton represents several decades of
her career. In a biographical note
published mere last Sunday, mention
was made OF her having studied
under Robert Henri. His influence
is obvious in her oils, which are
done in pIoad strokes with an alb
sence of detail. and in some in
stances, have the casual, spontane-
Gus appearance of sketches.
Her large, richly colored pastels Of
flowers and still life. and her litho-
graphs of architectural subjects,
seem to me the best Of her work
Her prints have considerable pic
torial charm, due in part to her
long residence in France, and travel
in other parts of Europe, which pro-
vided her with romantic ancient
buildings, beautifully located in Sc
rene landscapes, or on picturesque
heights overlooking winding rivers.

The Whale-headed stork has an

Cluster Together.
Shoebills often cluster together in
the water. When they are disturbed
by some slight sound, they fly low
over the surface of the water and
settle nearby.
If they are badly frightened, they
seek the highest trees and stay
there until the disturbers have gone
away.
Fish and water snakes are the
chief items on the diet of Shoebills
In addition. they feed at times or
the bodies of furry animals
The eggs of the shoebill are placed
in holes in the earth. No lining
is placed in these holes. AS many
as dozen eggs have been laid in

swapping magazines and copies of

In writing to boys and girls of
other nations, you will find, as I did
that Americans are very fortunate

may be, boys and girls everywhere
