Birds belong to

Birds belong to the animal king
dom and they are the only members
of that Kingdom" with feathers. If
some one asks you, What is bird?"
you may truly reply:
"A bird is a feathered animal"
Most birds can fly, but not all of
them. Among those which have to
stay on the ground are the ostriches.
They have wings, but the wings are
far too small to lift them into the
air. Another bird without the power
of flight is the penguin.
In general, however, birds are
greatly skilled in the art of flying.
They may fly thousands of miles
in the course of their migrations.
If bird lost all its feathers at
the same time, it would lose its
power of flight. Only one animal
without feathers-the bats able to
rise In the air by flapping Its wings.
The bat Is mammal, not a bird.
Several kinds Of mammals can "fly'

The word distrait means absent

I cannot recall ever having heard.
Distrait doesn't occur often in con-

by gliding, but that is different from
rising by flapping wings.
Birds lose their feathers by molt-
ing, but the loss is slow and new
feathers quickly take the place of
the old ones.
Most birds go through one molt
year, at the end of the season in
which they rear their young. That
is the usual thing, but some birds
molt two or three times year.
The main feathers in the wings
of a bird are called primaries" :"
During a molt. it is common for
only one primary feather in each
wing to come out on a certain day.
The rest of the primaries fall on
later days, but by the time they are
lost, new feathers have taken the
place of the first primaries lost.
That is true of the great majority
of birds, but q few kinds-as the
goose and the swan-shed the pri-
mary feathers together. This makes
such birds almost helpless for a

Gillette and Hunt Uroe
'Mahoney 10 Serve
As Majority Leader

Two Northern Democrats, Sena-
tors Gillette of Iowa and Hunt Of
Wyoming, urged today that Sena-
tor O'Mahoney, Democrat. of
Wyoming serve as the next ma
jority leader of the Senate.
Looking ahead to the 1852 pres
idential election, Senator Gillette
told a reporter that Democratic
success then might hinge on the
choice Of Senate leader for the
82d session of Congress starting
January 8.
Senator O'Mahoney, often men
toned as a likely successor to Ma
jority Leader Lucas of Illinois, has
announced that he does not want
the job. Senator Lucas was de-
feated for reelection.
Southerners Favor Mcfarland.
Senator O'Mahoney, reported
vacationing in Florida, was not
available for comment on his re-
action to Senator Gillette's and
Senator Hunts views.
Most Southern Senators and
some Westerners are backing Sen
ator Mcfarland, Democrat. of
Arizona for the key congressional
post. Among other things they
like his firm stand against any
efforts at limiting congressional
debate. Unlimited debate was the
Southerners' major weapon in de-
feating President Truman's So
called civil rights" program in
the 8lst Congress.
Senator Mcfarland told report
erS yesterday he was not cam
paigning for the Senate leader
ship but would enjoy serving if
chosen.
Gillette Explains Stand.
"It's absolutely essential that
the Senate leader be sympathetic
to the program of the party and
the President" Senator Gillette
said. THE next two years will
bring to prominence the issues on
which the presidential election will
be waged."
f, Senator Gillette added that
Senator O'Mahoney filled these
requirements and many others for
majority leader.
Senator Hunt, former Governor
of Wyoming and longtime friend
of Senator O'Mahoney. said Sen
ator O'Mahoney could speak for
all segments of the Democratic
Party. I certainly hope he
will take the job"
