There are little birds which raise
many tiny chicks. These are known
as quail, and some kinds are only
a little larger than sparrows. Others
have a length equal to that OF
robins, or bit more.
The smallest members OF the
quail family live in Europe and
Asia. Some of them are only
inches long. When winter comes
In Northern Europe and Northern
Asia, they fly southwark.
In North America the quail are
somewhat bigger, on the average.
Instead of making long trips
northward and southwark, they
usually stay within easy range Of
the district In which they were
Matched.
The beSt-known quail Of North
America are the bobwhites. These
are found from Canada down to
Mexico and the Gulf States. They
were given their names from their
call of bob white" or "ah-bob-
white" In southerly parts of the
United States, people commonly
speak of them as partridges.
A bobwhite or partridge is likely
to measure 10 or IL inches in
length. Because it has a stout
body and short tail, it weighs
more than most other birds of the
same length.

Readers Corner.

Kansas City: On a recent broad
cast, Jack Benny accented the word
"decadent" on the first syllable.
Please comment.-A. E.
A. The pronunciation "DEK- -uh-
dent" is a criticism which some
American dictionaries list as second
choice. It was seldom heard in the
United States prior to President
Roosevelt's speech in 1910 at the
Herald Tribune forum.
The customary American pro-
nunciation, only choice of some
American dictionaries, is: dee-KAY-
dent. This has a much stronger
suggestion of deterioration or decay
then DEK-uh-dent," which sug-
gests a decade. I strongly recon-
mend the second-syllable accent in
both decadent and decadence.

shoot these birds. The dogs stir
up the birds, and the hunter
shoots them while they are In flight,
usually with shotgun.
Although they can fly fairly
well, bobwhites would rather spend
their time on the ground than In
the air. Like chickens Of the barn
yard, they do O great deal OF
scratching Of the ground. Much OF
their food is made up Of insect
pests, including chinch bugs. They
destroy vast numbers Of cutworms,
army worms and boil weeyils. They
also eat seeds and wild berries.
Bobwhites choose quiet places
for their nests. They like spots
under the leaves Of a bush, at the
base Of q stump, or under an old
fence, with the grass growing
fairly high nearby. In the nest the
mother lays eggs, usually at least
10 or II, and sometimes from 20
to IS. There are a great many
eggs for q small bird to cover, but
they are small eggs. The chicks
can walk soon after they are out
of the shell. It is common for a
mother bobwhite to hatch several
clutches of eggs in a season.

One rule that is q seeming
contradiction to politeness is
brought up in the following ques-
ton: "At a wedding. is one who
arrived early and given an aisle
seat impolite, If she. or even he,
doesn't give 1t up to others Who
come later? I felt very self ICON
scious about keeping my aisle
seat and making later guests pass
in front of me to take the other
seats. Yet week before in the
same church I couldn't see q thing
when sat further in"
A definite rule for guests at
weddings is that the first conner
keeps her Cor even his) seat. To
stand up where you are and to
make room for the late-comers
to pass and take their places
farther in, is all that is required
by etiquette. To repeat: This is
even true in the case of q young
man seated on the aisle and an
elderly lady the late conner. The
reason for this Is that the aisle
seat is a real advantage that
belongs to the one who has made
the special effort to come early.
Widows Marriage Announcement
Dear Mrs. Post: When a widow
(mid-forties) is marrying again,
is it improper for her mother to
send engraved announcements of
her marriage? Or, at this age is
it more suitable for her to send
her own? I thought as long as
mother was in good health and
lived in this town it would be
all right for her name to be used.
Answer: If you were a spinster,
it would be quite all right, but
since you are a widow it would be
very strange to have your mother
send the announcements for
you.
