A proud but truthful resident of Yonkers admitted that there were a lot of cuckoos there. He wasn't proud of the cuckoos, particularly. As far as cuckoos are conceried, his pride is strictly civic. If one must have cuckoos, he prefers the Swisr kind, which are vocal only when wound up and then only at intervals. The Yonkers cuckoo doesn't have to be wound up. The imported eight-day cuckoo is a piker beside thie Yonkers cuckoo. The Yonkers euckoo stays awake half the night waiting for the dawn and each has the same pride in being the first to salute the earliest gleam of the sky that a farmer's wife has in gettag her washing out before a neighbor a line is strung. From the moment that the night be comes faintly luminous until about 9:35 a. i. the air is tremulous with euckoos. From 9:35 to 10:05, the cuckoos knock off for lunch. Then they're at it agaiin until dark. They yelp "cu-k-oo" at every resident of Yonkers they see ant even at strang ers from P'eekskill. When the street is utterly deserted they murmur "cuck-oo, cuck-oo" just for practice. BIRD DOESN'T HAVE TO FLY Washington Specimen Uses the Street Car as His Particular Means of Transportation. Now that spring is here, it may in terest bird lovers to know that at least one bird has solved the problem of transportation without the use of wings. Birds are famous for their migra tions, but hitherto they always have used wing power. Now comes along one local bird who gets himself from place to place with scarcely the flap of a wing. This bird came riding down Penn sylvania avenue about eleven o'clock one morning last week. He was perched on the roof of a street car .oming from Georgetown. When the car stopped at Eleventh street the bird alighted. and walked gravely up and down the platform. le was a fine, big fellow, with a black body and a blue bead, but did not look like a blackbird. After surveying the post office de artment for a bit. the bird flew over to a car about to leave for Moint Ver non, and established himself on the roof. When the car pulled out, the bird was with it.-W-shington Star. The World's Greatest Dam. Plans have been made to build a dam on the Colorado river which will hold back a volume of water equal to two years' flow of the entire 1,800 miles of rushing river. The dam is to be 700 feet high, approximately the height of the Woolworth building in New York city. The dam will form a reservoir with an area of 200 square miles and an average depth of 350 feet. This body of water will consti tute the largest artificial lake in the world. One western railroad system is already planning to operate a fleet of steamers to carry tourists over this man-made lake to the Grand canyon. the wonder spot of America. The Panama canal is the only undertak ig ever attempted in America which may be compared in magnitude or boldness of conception to this en gineering project, which will trans form an empire of waste into a re gen of productivity.-World's Work. RobIn Gets the Worm. Robins are growing fat on worms in Lafayette square. The grass there must be literally alive with worms, for no robin seems to have any difficulty whatever in pick ing up the best kind of living. You will see one of the birds hop along, then suddenly reach down. He begins to pull. Up comes his head with a wo-m: dangling to his beak, one end of the worm held tenaciously by the robin, the other clinging fast to -mother earth. Bracing himself the bird throws his entire weight in one final heave. He then consumes half the worm, and flies away with the remainder. The performance does not strike one as cruel, for both bird and worm are operating under the laws of na ture.-Washington Star. The Soil Does Not Exhaust. Dr. Ourtis F. Marbut of the United Sates Department of Agriculture has sailed on a three-months' trip to Eu rope, and his special mission will be to determine why it is that the soil in some parts of Europe which has been worked since the Christian era. has not been, exhausted. He will bring home samples of the soils of va rious countries visited and analyses will be made in the endeavor to ar rive at the secret. In Italy and Greece the soil has been tilled for centuries and has never been fer tilized, and has never had the advan tage of live stock raising. Look Before You Leap.

I5 Tell President Harding t* New Men Must Be Prot ] in Strike Settlemen NOT A MATTER OF E Faithful Employees Have Both Legal and Moral Rights to Seniority and Other Benefits. New York.-The keynote of the re ply made by railway executives repre senting more'than 180 Class I Rail roads of the United States to the prop 6sition of President Harding, that "all strikers be returned to their work and their former positions with seniority and other rights unimpaired," lies In I the l-st paragraph from their reply to the President as follows: "It is submitted that the strik ing former employees cannot be given preference to employees at present in the service without doing violence to every principle of right and justice involved in this matter. and without the grossest breach of faith on the part of the railroads to the men at present in their service. "Under these circumstances, it be comes apparent that the railroads cannot consider any settlement of the present strike which does not pro vide protection in their present em ployment both to the loyal employees who remained in the service and. to the new employees entertg it." The executives had accepted the first two conditions proposed by the President, namely, that both employ ers and employees accept the decisions of the Labor Board, and that all law suits growing out of the strike be withdrawn: and in relation to the third condition spoke not only as quoted above, but also as follows: Agree With the President "The railroad executives and man agers agree entirely with the Presi dent's statement in his letter that 'it is wholly unthinkable that the Railroad Labcr Board can be made a useful agency of the Government in nmintain tng industrial peace in the railway ervice unless enploiycrs and workers are both prompt and unquestioning in their acceptance of its decisions.' "Many men in the service refused to join the strike and in so doing were assured of the seniority rights accru Ing to them and of the permanence of their positions. On some important lines 50 per cent or more refused to join the strike. To these old loyal em ployees have been added thousands of new men who were employed and cold be secured only upon a definite cromise that their services would be retained regardless of the settlement of the strike, with all the rights ap pertaining to such employment, includ ing that of seniority under the working rules and regulations previouSly ap proved by the Railroad Labor Board. "Just the Opposite Effect" "We especially point out that a re fusal to the old men who remained in the service and to the new men who accepted service of the rights of senior ity incident to their employment would have just the opposite effect to that de sired by the President, and would most seriously discredit the Labor Board. "The board itself prescribed the rules of seniority under which the men referred to have secured their senior ity rights, and the railroad comlpanies have neither 'the legal nor moral right to deprive these men of those rights. By public utterances since the strike began the hoard has recognized and emphasized these rights, and to deny them now would, instead of upholding *e authority of the Labor Board, over throw its rules and discredit its au thority. "The Chairman of the Labor Board at the time the strike was called made the following public statemnent: "Upon one question the striking em ployees should not be deceived. Their leader has said that the strikers are no longer employees of the rail ways. and they have thus automatic ally abandloned all the rights they possess under their agreements and under the decisions of the board, in cluding their seniority. This is not the board's action. It is their own. " Many carriers are giving their for mer employees the opportunity to re enter the service within a limited time. It must be understood now that men who remained in the serv ice and those who are now entering it 'will have rights of seniority that the board could not ignore." What the Proposed Plan Means "It must be understood that any pro posal that employees now on strike shall be permitted to return to the service, without impairment to their seniority, is merely another way of suggesting that those men who took employment in this crisis in good faith, relying on the promises of the rail roads to protect them in their posi tions, these promises being justified by the authoritative utterances of the Labor Board, and thus have made pos sible the continued operation of the railroads, shall now be sacrificed in favor of men now on strike, who nol only brought about the crisis, but, by their own action and declaration, are no longer employees of the railways. under the jurisdiction of the United States Railroad Labor Board, or sub ject to the application of the Trans *portation act. "In addition to the necessity of up. holding the Labor Board, and main taming the pledges made by the rail roads to the men now at work, there is the practical effect en the super tisory officers of a violation of then i~edges they were authorized to mak" Thir discouragem'ent and demoralir, tio' would be fai moure disastrous th ~oi ERS equipme professional he, years' experien med the. manufacti solicit shipments nagement will try to ple: tomers with promptness, a ality as well as quantity o' p .
