Suef Suits Birds
Disdaining Seeds

Some birds, with peculiar but
beneficial epicurean bents, are
not satisfied with a straight diet
of bird seed, even when the feed
ing gets tough. That's especially
true Of quintet of feathered
friends quite common throughout
northern climes.
These are the hairy woodpcck-
er, doWny woodpecker, nuthatch,
brown creeper and chickadee, all
of which dine in part on scale in
sects and over-Wintering eggs left
by aphids, canker worms, tussock
moths and other arboreal scourg-
es. The Woodpecker are especially
helpful when they seek out various
bark beetles and borerS for des-
sert.
Generous houSeholders who
make 1t practice to put out bird
seed are advised by Martin l..
Davey, Jr., president of the Davey
Tree Expert Co, to extend their
lists of feathered guests by taste
appeal.
Simply put out the blue-plate
special dearest to their hearts and
appetites-kidney suet--and you'll
suit them fine, says authority,
The tree-top gastronomes know at
the drop Of a morsel the delect-
able delights in store. In fact, they
are quite particular about suct
in general.
Not just any kind Of suct in
trigues them. When inscct-hunting
has been too successful, cod fat,
or prepared tallow cakes may
be accepted. The inevitable piece
de-resistance is, however, raw
kidney suet.
You'll be doing your landscape
a great favor when you look to
the welfare of this non-migrating
bird fivesome. They are among
natures most effective checks
against insect hordeS.

PEACE

The men of goodwill, in the
u. S. as elsewhere, are now largely
cured of the illusions that swept
the world after World War /.
We realize that words are not
substitute for deeds. We know
that a just and durable peace
cannot be achieved merely by
writing it or by heads of State
meeting to proclaim it. Before
World War II it seemed that
the people gave would-be peace

A new little sound ampIifying de-

Here's a little trick to try on your
learned friends. Ask them to define
the word Time" without using the
word in the definition. When they
have struggled with it for a while,
YOU can give them the definition:
"The period during which an action,
process or condition continues.
Winter is indoors-time and certain
dangers result from the fact. If you

that it contains the proper fuel and
that room ventilation allows admission
