Better try Mrs. Madsen's trick, Carrie. Or ask Mrs. Halley. Last Thursday Mrs. Doran was to attend a wedding in Chicago, therefore she did not come home at the usual time with her husband. Some time later she decided she would not attend the wedding. Upon arriving at Crystal Lake a few hours later, she found that she had no transportation to the lake. She could not get in touch wih her husband. There was nothing else for her to do, but sit and wait and hope someone she knew would come along. Every time a train arrived from Chicago she hoped some more. Still no luck. In the meantime the policeman who patrols that territory had his eye on her. When it was close to midnight he decided to find out what she was waiting for. Of course he knows She and her husband! When she explained the predicament she was in, he decided there was only one thing to do. That was to take her home in the police car. Otherwise she would still be there in the morning when her husband was going to work. That is just what he did, upon arriving home under police escort, she found the door unlocked, her husband the the dog were asleep, neither one even woke up. When Ed did awake in the morning, he was surprised to see his wife preparing their breakfast. Nice going, Winn. * Last Thursday a party called McDonalds' to ask them if they wanted a pheasant.

Drouth Takes Heavy Toll Of Canadian Waterfowl Nearly 75 per cent of the prospective crop of wild ducks on their great breeding grounds in Canada's prairie provinces is destroyed by natural and man-made catastrophies. The destruction, principally of eggs and newly hatched ducklings, is estimated at as high as 80,000,000 during a single nesting season, the nationally known conservation writer reports. The principal cause df mortality is drying up of marshes before the young are able to fly. Drouth and faster evaporation of surface water due to increasingly higher summer temperatures in recent years have < made countless prairie ponds death .traps for the wildfowl. Describing an exodus of drouthstricken ducklings, an investigator related: "Across the prairie started the broods, putting one webbed foot in front of the other in a brave trek for that element which ducks must have or perish. "The food they had to have wasn't4 available on the way. Small bones and muscles weakened. Cactus spines penetrated tender throats, bellies and feet, and took hold to stay. In the end a distracted hen lay down and died beside the last of her offspring." • ^ In addition to drouth, voracious • pike, or jackflsh, are estimated to eat some 9,000,000 ducklings, other predators take 8,000,000, marsh fires destroy 13,000,000 and other factors including farming operations almost the same number. Richardson's Owl ~ Into Jjhe life of a bird-bander there comes now and then a special thrill,., as it did to Herbert B. Southam, Toronto ornithologist, who was summoned to a near-by woodland and swamp by a small boy who had "found an owl." In this particular spot near Lake Ontario the snow does not lie deep; mice and rabbits appear in numbers, and owls arrive for food, writes Hugh M. Halliday in Nature magazine. No net was needed to capture it, for all we had to do was to lift it from its branch. In contrast with the saw-whet owl it was gentle, and when we replaced it on its branch it rewarded us with a far-off liquid note like the voice of a fairy from some bubbling spring in a woodland dell. In its home in the north the owl had learned no fear of man, and iiat 13 years there had been only three records of the appearance of this species in the Toronto area. Richardson's owl is a nocturnal bird, known to the Eskimos of Alaska as "the blind one." Aftermath The summer left her in a mess; Old Sol has placed her 'neath the y ban. Now, when she'd wear a low-neck dress, She finds she can't get elf the tan. RINGWOOD Paatpened Caller--And will you walk with me as far as the bus stop, Tommy? Tommy--I can't. Caller--Why not?

A state-wide survey late last winter resulted in actual observation of 461 covies totaling 8,790 chukars, mainly in the eastern part of the state. If, as has been estimated for pheasants In Minnesota, only 10 per cent of the birds present are actually seen, this would mean more than 50,000 chukars now present. In addition, approximately 15,000 of these birds will be released this spring from the Carlos Avery game farm. The chukar has proved unusually hardy under winter conditions. Following 1940's Armistice day storm, it was observed that birds "pecked their way out of ice-covered snow drifts in about the same way chicks emerge from the egg shett.**^ Gold, Silver Markings It is easy for amateurs to decipher those symbols which were first stamped on articles of gold and sitver by the Goldsmiths' company at Goldsmiths Hall in London as evidence of the purity of the metal, through the use of key manuals which any dealer in antique silver has.
