Peter. “I saw Reddy and I knew
you didn’t, so of course I gave the
alarm. You would have done the same
thing for me. Do you know, Chewink.
I’ve wondered a great deal about
you.”
‘What have you wondered about
me?" asked Chewink.
“I've wondered what family you be¬
long to,” replied Peter.
Chewink chuckled. “I belong to a
big family," said he. “I belong to the
biggest family among the birds. It is
the Finch and Sparrow family. There
ere a lot of us and a good many of

"I suppose that means that you nest

Chewink nodded. “Of course," said
he. "As a matter of fact Fve got a

The Solitaire Bird
The solitaire (Pezophaps solitaris)
was a bird allied to the dodo and for¬
merly inhabiting Rodriguez. It be¬
came extinct about 1761. The male
stood about 2 feet 9 inches high and
was brownish gray in color, the fe¬
male being brown with a whitish
breast. The maie bore a knob of bone
on each wing and used this as a weap¬
on. The solitaire was flightless. Its
food consisted of seeds and leaves,
and a single egg was laid in a heap
of palm leaves and incubated by both
parents.

MOTHER PLAYS
BRIDGE
By ANNE CAMPBELL
Q HE would be a better player
If she could just leave behind
All the dear domestic problems
That perplex her loving mind
If she could forget the children
And the naughty things they did—
But that's just what she remembers!
She forgets the no-trump bid
If she didn't have her mind on
Mrs. Johnson's lovely gown;
If she wouldn’t bother listing
All the things she’ll buy in town.
She would be a better player!
Now she's making up her face,
And she's sort of absent-minded
As she trumps her partner's ace!
She would be a better player!
She describes each dress that’s
worn!
| The refreshments? She could make
’em.
And her husband laughs in scorn.
Though there's humor in his laughter
As he hears his bonny lass
When he bids "Two hearts!" say:
“Partner! You'll excuse me! , . .
I'll just pass!"
If she'd concentrate five minutes.
What a player she would be,
But she must describe her diet.
And the show she went to see.
She would be a better player.

If she'd keep her mind on contract
And forget she is a woman!

Sirup for Drinks.

tabiespoonfuls of lemon juice and the
same of the sirup to a glass of cracked
ice, for an individual serving.

AUSTRIA SORIUALLY
ACCUSES GERMANY
Blames the Reich for the
Nazi Outbreak.
Vienna, Austria.—Austria officially
pointed an accusing finger at Germany
for the blood which flowed from a Nazi
attempt to seize the Austrian govern¬
ment.
An announcement approved by the
cabinet said directions to Austrian
Nazis were sent into the country sev¬
eral weeks ago from Germany.
The plans, which included the pos¬
sibility of civil war, said Walter Adam,
propaganda chief, in a radio address,
were seized in the shoes of a man ar¬
rested in Upper Austria. This man
confessed receiving $100 for deliver¬
ing the documents—now partially de¬
coded, Adam added.
Another government announcement
state Franz Holzweber and Otto
I’laDetta. who were hanged for their
part in the putsch, died with the cry
“heil Hitler" on their lips.
Although the revolt was apparently
crushed except for sporadic bombings,
the Fascist government headed by Dr.
Kurt Scbusehnigg continued its vigor¬
ous anti-opposition campaign.
All persons who hear disturbing po¬
litical rumors were ordered to report
the sources to the authorities.
What action will be takei ^gainst
142 Nazis, companions of Planetta and
Holzweber in the capture July 25 of
the chancellery, was not revealed.
They are prisoners in a barracks here.
A startling interview was given by
Franz Winkler, forcer vice chancellor
under the bate Chancellor Dollfuss, in
which he charged the Fascist Heim-
wehr (home guard) had planned to
overthrow Dollfuss until the Nazi
putsch beat them to it.
The Heimwehr Is now a most im¬
portant cog in a truce government
with its leader, Prince Ernst Rudiger
von Starhemberg, serving as vice
chancellor.
Winkler, who is "somewhere in
Czechoslovakia.” keeping his exact lo¬
cation a secret, denied knowledge of
the Nazi putsch before it took place.

the killings.
It was revealed Daseanio has been
under suspicion since January 30.
when Fred Melsheimer, thirty-eight,
was killed, the first victim in four
shootings. Daseanio's arrest so ex
cited the city that Sheriff Hay Long
threw 20 extra guards around the
county jail and called city police to
disperse crowds outside.
Rifle Regiment Formed
by Police of New York
New York.—Preparing for any
emergency, the New York police es¬
tablished a rifle regiment of 1.2U0
men.
The new group will supplant the
old “riot squad" and will contain twice
as many men, with machine guns and
other equipment to meet any situation
that may arise.
John F. O’Ryan, police commission¬
er, admitted that the regiment had
been formed, but he denied that ex¬
pected labor troubles alone had
brought about the new detail.
Preparing to Process
Many Drouth Cattle
Washington.—The government will
have doubled within 30 days its fa¬
cilities for processing cattle purchased
from the drouth stricken areas.
Lawrence Westbrook, assistant fed¬
eral relief administrator, said the Sur¬

HERE'S COMFORT
F q R SMFFI.ERS
Common Cold Held Not to
Be Infectious.
A word of comfort for the snufflers
of the nation has come out of the
West. This is to the effect that doubt
has been expressed before a session
of the American Association for the
Advancement of Science that the
common cold is infectious or even of
bacterial origin.
For tie it known that jiersons who
suffer from common colds, the snuf-
flers on street cars, in the offices and
their own firesides are the most mis¬
erable of persons in addition to their
acute sufferings from colds. They
are under constant suspicion, to be
avoided and shunned, in the general
belief of most grown-ups and all
grown-ups who have children that
the common cold spreads its ills in
passing; that it is better even to look
the other way when a person with a
“code in his hed" is near.
This, of course, is added bitrerness
to the sufferer, especially so when
he too, believes with the majority
and feels that he is an incubator of
disease wherever he may go. Unfor¬
tunately a man with a cold has his
living to make when he is ailing just
as he has when he is well, if ever.
And he goes about his business
shunned and shunning, miserable in
double measure.
Of course, the doubt that has been
expressed before the science ad¬
vancement association has not been
proved, but doctors have a way of
holding their beliefs to themselves
unless they have reasonable support
for their beliefs. In this case. Prof.
William J. Kerr and Dr. John B.
Lagen, members of the University of
California's staff ot physicians, re¬
ported experiments in which all at¬
tempts to transmit colds by infection
or direct inoculation had failed.
Therefore the doubt laid before the
Association for the Advancement of
Science that the common cold is in¬
fectious or of bacterial origin.
This thought, of course, is not as
surance. Nor does it license the ad¬
dict to common colds to go about
among his fellows without the usual
precautions. But it does give him
hope that some day he will be re¬
ceived in society and business a lit¬
tle less resentfully, after what the
California doctors suggest as a i»os-
sibility is proved to be fact, if it can
be proved to be fart. And then gen¬
erally accepted.—SL Louis Globe-
