YONKERS HAS THE CUCK
Citizen Complains That the Birds Are
Somewhat Too Attentive to
Business.
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

LOYAL EMPLOX. 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"

Indigestion
Many persons, otherwise

bothered occasionally with
indigestion. The effects of a
disordered stomach on the
system are dangerous, and
prompt treatment of indiges

been something to aid diges
tion and clean the liver,"
writes Mr. Fred Ashby, a
McKinney, Texas, farmer.
