Three days of debate temporarily freed the House of -the six billion tax bill. Pressure for action on other vital measures prevented, -scampering to their homedistricts for electioneering' purposes whiie the Senate Finance Committee took over the task of revamping the revenue bill. Domestic affairs continue to outrank distant wars in wKich our armed fore as are engaged. . Reluctantly the policy-ftamers and the lawmakers are buckling down, to plans calculated to prevent economic disaster in wartime. , Tlife political snipinp between Price Administrator Henderson and the Congressfoihrl brethren has not helped the public's understanding • of the fundamental questions involved in price control. Conflicting statements from official quarters as to the need for gasoline and tire rationing did not inspire confidence. As a result of the bickering, folks have lost sight of the creeping dangers,, in ^fchqir everyday lives through inJHTtjtfnV* for the spring season that follows so swiftly upon the heels of winter. The day was so still you could hear the drumming of a woodpecker in a distant woodlot or the mellow sound of the schoolbell, a mile away, calling the children in from recess. The su$> was warm on your back. Still, it Was a lovely day and you looked with delight upon the somewhat , draggled-looking robin whieh tagged you around the garden, picking up dropped seeds; your eyes rejoiced in the flashing color of the bluebird, darting from fericepost to feocepost; once a chimney swift flashed, in speedy flight, across your fii4d of vision. These were some of your summer birds. They were coming back after the long winter months, You missed them then and wondered where arid how they had gone/ WHERE AND HOW--WHY AND WHEN DO THE BIRDS GO? ' Of such value to all gardeners, orchardists and farmers are the services of the birds that all may, well be concerned with their migrations. ! LONG-DISTANCE MIGRATIONS t While it is generally known that. Experts, who have kept a weather- ! many--perhaps the majority-^of the eye on the* insidious developments fcave notified the higher officials that more anti- inflationary controls are needed. Fbifemost in the recommendations is a call for stabilisation of wages, a proposal objectionable to the powerful trade unioSp-blocs. The ger» eral price regulation which became effective in mid-May covered about 70 per the retail prices entering into the cost of living. The war programhas fattened |>ocketbooks to such an extent that government agencies are concerned as to the outcome of too ifiuch • nfoney and not enough goods for Civilian use. These increases .in consumer income in a period when supplies oi !?oods available for sale to consumers will be diminishing. With "fewer goods to buy, the bidding for supplies usually forces prices ou. ef bounds. The admission by the O. P.A. that the prioe situation is hazardous indicates that Congress must assume some responsibility. Forced contributions to the state through higher income taxes is one device to curb reckless spending, but other controls will soon be trotted out. t Though the pending revenue < bill bits the individual citizen hard by means of high income tax rates, it is actually a drop in the bucket necessary for war expenses. The War Production Board estimates the total war financial program appropriations are approximately 223 billions. Speaking only in "billions" this Federal agency reported appropriations arid contract authorizations as of July 15 amounted to 212 billions. Of the 34 billions expenditures by the Federal Government* for mlitary purposes during the first two years of the war effort ended June 30, ,lifteen billons was paid out for the'* Army, ten billions for the Navy, four billions for Lend-Lease and four billions for other war agencies. Harvestng of crops and the current cultivation. of fields makes farmers conscious of the war's effects. Farm wage rates orj July 1 were the highest in 22 years. Farmers were paying hired help more than double the 1910- birds which frequent our farms and woodlands in the North during the summer months, merely travel southward in the autumn far enough to find their accustomed foods, yet, some birds, are known to "make incredibly long migratory flights. Some of our common summer residents spend their winters in localities well south of the equator-per- .on pfFfntinia" PamPas. or! ess are supposed to see that even in Patagonia. The arctic tern ; , , is said to be the champion "globe j tneynave it. trotter." -A government bulletin says of this remarkable bird: Bell Syndicate--WNU Feature*. A recruit reported sick and complained to the medical officer that he couldn't eat. The M. D. first inspected his teeth and tongue, then his throat and'tonsils. Finding nothing wrong, he prodded the lad in the stomach and back and asked him if he had any pain at all. "No, sir," said the recruit. "Well,_ I can't find "anything Wrong," replied the M Q._ "How do you feel yourself?" *' _v "Oh, fine, sir.," ; "Well, why on earth can't • you eat?" /- "I've tost my knife and fork." HAPPY THOUGHT When Bob and Belinda come to a parly they pick out the lean amusing of the quests and work on them. Belinda's joyous laughter is echoed by the host's dull partner. Bob's nonsense impresses even the host's grim mother. B y K A T E N N O R R I S ~OST persons go to a party to have a good time; The host and host- "Its namfe. 'arctic,' is well earned, as its breeding range is circumpolar and it nests as^ far north, as" it can find a suitable place. The first nest to be found in this region was only 7Vi degrees from the North pole-and it contained a downy chick surrounded by a wall of newly fallen snow that had been scooped out by the parent. In North America it breeds .south in the interior to Great Slave laKe, and on the Atlantic coast tp Massachusetts. After the young are grown, the arctic terns disappear from their North American breeding grounds, and a few months later they may be found in the Antarctic region, 11,000 miles away" NIGHT TRAVEL OF BIRDS Although most birds appear to be rather helpless in the dark, going to roost at dusk and arousing only when early daylight calls, nevertheless thousands and thousands of them migrate in night flights. All lovers of field and woodland have noted that on some given day- in early spring it may be that , not a bird wiH be visible, yet on the following morning flocks of them will appear everywhere, proof that they have come back in the night. HEIGHT AXW SPEED OF MIGRATORY FLIGHT It was assumed at one time that birds flew at great altitudes, but, since man's conquest of the air, it has been realized that flight is-increasingly difficult as air becomes rarefied with altitude, partly because of the reduction nf oxygen sup- 14 average The index was 42 | piy and partly because of a lack of c points acove the July 1, 1941 farm wage level. The increase from April to July this year was five times the asual seasonal rise. Govern men t\^e- , ports point out the great expansion •f industrial activity in recent months and the needs of the armed services for additonal men have drawn heavily upon the resevoir of rural manpower. With so many able-bodied men leaving the farm much of the farm work has to be done by women, young'people, and older1 men. A good deal ol eftort has been made to recruit farm hflp from among people not ordinarily a part of the fa/m labor force. Boys of high school age from town* and cities are spending this su-mmer on the farm, and women and children have been enlisted to harvest fruit and vegetable crops and. to do •ther farm work. The manpower shortage is expected to complicate transportation of essential crops and processed food products to markets. Railroads find it difficult to provide equipment owing to heavy movements of war goods to seaports. For the first time ih many years, f;he railroads are more concerned with trying to find employees than workers'are concerned in trying to find jobs. It is recognized that lack of adequate manpower can create as serious.* a bottleneck for war activities as lack of steel or aluminum. The railroad labor; scarcity, is so acute that the U. S. Division of Transport Personnel asked th?"carriers to overhaul recruiting practices, .tap new sources of employees, up-gTading^ and plan for more effective training programs. Rationing of passenger traffic'. fr In 'tile bookfc Cotton Planting Daily Cotton is being planted and picked somewhere, in the world every day m i t h e y e a r \ " CoriAjIt buoyancy in the rarefied air^Therefore, although some of the birds with excessive wing spread, such as cranes and storks, have been seen ((with binoculars) flying at 20,000 feet above sea level, the fact remains that migration in general is effected below 3,000 feet. The speed of flight varies greatly: Flycatchers loiter along at 10 to 17 miles per hour; the fast-flying mourning dove rarely exceeds 35 miles; herons and hawks, timed with an automobile speedometer, have been found to fly at 22 to 28 smiles; aviators claim that at 65 miles an hour' they can overtake the fastest ducksi The greatest bird speeds reliably recorded* are of the swifts and the duck hawk--from 100 to 180 miles per hour. NEED FOR PROTECTION DURING MIGRATION The hazards of, migration are many, and have been greatly increased by changes brought about by man's occupation of one-time feeding and resting grounds. There is need for bird refuges, and for a .general legal protection of the migrating hordes, For further ioformttioa. Mot tea cents rs Superintendent Documents. Washington D.

Somebody else is taking the responsib ility;all they need do is have fun. The host and hostess, divide their guests into two "classes. The large class that takes; the very small class that gives. To which do you belong? Among my friends are a couple wtfio are not in any way distinguished by position, achievements, looks or wealth. They are in the late thirties now, Bob and Belinda; tor 15 years the^ have been eagerly sought as guests, and for the remainder of their lives they need never worry about invitations to anything that is going oi» in their large and hospitable group. They are asked everywhere. People are always begging them to come down to Florida; to save two weeks in July for Lake George; tp prpfnise the week-end; to remember Thursday the fifth; to think about the California plan. And the reason is, in the Slang of the day, that they GIVE. ^ - Share Hostess' Troumesi When Bob and Belinda come to a party they quite inconspicuously keep an eye on their hostess, ahd they share her troubles. They pick out the least amusing of the guests and work on them. Belinda's gale of joyous laughter ris echoed by the host's hopelessly dull, heavy, silent partner: Bob's nonsense makt*«- an impression even upon the host's grim mother.. A gap- in the tablet conversation is broken_by Belinda's voice: "Have We ever "done this game?" A flaw in the service is-filled by Bob with a tray of canapes, going &bout in as businesslike a manner as though he were'one of the caterer's men. If the telephone . rings Belinda may quite casually answer it; if coats slide off the chair in the foyer Bob restores them to place. Bob and Belinda never drop In on young married friends at about five in the afternoon and remain until ten minutes of eight, when the bridegroom is savage with hunger and the bride frantic because it is now no longer practicable to have the artichokes and roast pork for dinner. If they do come in for a late afternoon cup of tea and a chat they always relieve the anxious minds of the newlyweds by a definite statement: "We're going at six; we have an iron-bound date,'? ' _ / Keep Their Wocd. Ncf, they don't begin at this point that detestable vacillation that breaks the hearts of the householders. "We could stay, I suppose. Bob? We couid telephone Alice." , Bob and Belinda say when they are going, and they go. And often they drag with them some other friehd_<dr friends who are upsetting all Jean's dinner plans and drinking up Joie's gin. i'ifCome' along, Helen," they sav hardily, "Jean and Joe didn't asK us to stay the weekend and she has to get dinner started." "• On the other 'hand there' are the Bakers, who are asked nowhere." The Bakers have the advantages of money and position, and they are really concerned not to find themselves popular. But the truth is that Muriel and Guy are difficult and the hostess feels like a ' 4 GOOD GVEST _ Do you ivant to be popular?

Muriel always is the best-dressed woman pr e s e n t; she somehow makes the other women feel com scious of old clothes. She is a nervous, critical, proud woman who kreps everyon? glse ip g Sprjst&it state of fear that Muriel isn't having a gocftl time.

Annoys Her Hearers. - If any man or woman she doesn't happen To know well, and approve, is sitting neglected for a moment in Jean's parlor, Muriel never makes" the slightest effort at entertainment- She lowers her long eyelashes aitd looks at the floor.- At the table she contributes nothing to the conversation, and when small mishaps occur she looks deeply pained--sorry again for poor Jean! When anyone mentions a play or a book Muriel crushes it."at once; she says it is rather like a much better play or book that only she has seen. If she can possibjy correct anyone's pronunciation) stt?e does it by immediately using the mispronounced word; if she can annoy her hearers by employing French or Italian phrases she neverNspares them. Her husband has ore topic, sport. The shooting of deer, dovosv'rabbits, the catching of trout and steelhead arid marlin are Guy's sple interest; it ngver occurs to him that other men have better things to do. After several cocktails Guy becomes noisy and tactless and he and Muriel quarrel. This is the simple truth of it. though it sometimes takes their friends months or even years to dis-" cover that neither Guy; hor Muriel really adds anything to the general pleasure of any group. •rff young couples just starting oat in „ life could study their list* of friends carefully, and weed out those who are only trouble-makers, only destined to become more and more of a.burden, much later discomfort would be spared all 'round'.
