“Well, you might stick the cane

| WICHITA, KAN.—Cattlemen of
western Kansas have learned to
cope with zero weather and bliz
zards which are hitting them now,
but they are faced this year with a
new menace—Kansas birds are eat
ing Kansas cows.
Ray Lamberson, a cattleman of
Liberal, brought two birds to the
Wichita stockyards to show men of
this part of Kansas specimens of
the newest pests.
The birds are alighting on the
backs of cows, boring through the
skin, and literally starting to eat
them alive.
One of the birds is an English
starling; the other is similar to the
Kansas state bird, the meadow lark.
“It seems that these starlings are
teaching our state birds a few bad
habits,” Lamberson said. “I was
born and raised in this part of the
country, and never have seen any
starlings here before.”
Cows at Mercy.
Both species have long beaks and
long claws. They alight on the
cow’s back, just above the rump.
There, the cow neither can shake
it loose nor brush it off with her
tail.
They are attacking beef herds, but
are doing most of their damage in
dairy herds, according to Lamber
son.
Farmers are finding it difficult to
fight the pests. If they put out
poisoned meat, dogs and cats, the
pets of almost every farmhouse, eat
it and die. So they have tried put
ting out poisoned seeds.
The sparrows and other birds that
winter in this part of the country
readily eat the poisoned grain. The
starlings, however, refuse to touch
it. Rather, they wait until the spar
rows and other birds die from ef
fects of the poison, and then attack
them, boring through the breasts of
their winged victims.
The English starling is a dark
bird. Its feathers are nearly black
near the quill end, but on the spread
end, they have a purplish dot.

Tunney, former pugilist, pictured

ster dog show in New York. He is
held by Miss Margaret Dorrlamm.
Bird books describe starlings as
intelligent and carnivorous. While
there is snow on the ground, seeds
are plentiful along hedgerows, but
the birds prefer to attack the cattle.
Eat More Than Grabs.
The other bird resembles a
meadow lark but is somewhat dark
er and more husky than the ordi
nary species.
Old-timers here say they have
often seen birds land on the backs
of cattle, but only to eat grubs which
grow under the skin of the animals,
rather than the animals themselves.
Lamberson says that the type of
boring the starlings do is different
and that they eat more of the ani
mal than just a grub.
The starling is a member of the
grackle family, the same family to
which crows and blackbirds belong.
There are thousands of crows and
blackbirds in Kansas all through the
year, but they never have been seen
to attack cattle.
Until they learn to cope with the
trouble, many of the cattlemen are
keeping their dairy herds in sheds.
At the same time they are hoping
they will find some way to fight the
pests because the Kansas climate is
so well suited to breeding of the
grackle family that there are likely
to be thousands of them in the neigh
borhood in a few years.

Frightened Buster Bear Runs
Away With Shiny Berry Pail
By THORNTON BURGESS
nr HE question is, did Buster Bear
A steal Farmer Bro.wn’s Boy’s
pail? To steal is to take something
which belongs to some one else.
There is no doubt that he stole the
berries that were in the pail when
he found it, for he deliberately ate
them to the last one. He knew well
enough that some one must have
picked them, for who ever heard of
blueberries growing in tin pails? So
there is no doubt that when Buster
took them he stole them. But with
the pail it was different. He took
the pail, but he didn’t mean to take
it. In fact, he didn’t want that pail
at all.
You see, it was this way: When
Buster found that big tin pail brim
ming full of delicious berries in the
shade of that big bush in the Old
Pasture he didn’t stop to think
whether or not he had a right to
them. Buster is so fond of berries
that from the very second that his
greedy little eyes saw that pailful
he forgot everything but the feast
that was waiting for him right under
his very nose. He didn’t think any
thing about the right or wrong of
helping himself. There before him
were more berries than he had ever
seen together at one time in all his
life, and all he had to do was to
eat and eat. And that is just what
he did do. Of course, he upset the
pail, but he didn’t mind a little
thing like that. When he had gob
bled up all the berries that had
rolled out he thrust his nose into
the pail to get all that were left in.
Just then he heard a little noise as
if some one was coming. He threw
up his head to listen, and somehow,
he never did know just how, the han
dle of the pail slipped back over his
ears and caught there.
This was bad enough, but to make
matters worse just at that very min
ute, he heard a shrill, angry voice
shout: “Hi, there! Get out of
there!” He didn’t need to be told
whose voice that was. It was the
voice of Farmer Brown’s Boy.
Right then and there Bustdr Bear
nearly had a fit. There was that
awful pail fast over his head so
that he couldn’t see a thing. Of
course that meant that he couldn’t
With a mighty “whoof!” he start
ed for the Green Forest as fast as
his legs could take him.
run away, which was the thing of
all things, he most wanted to do.
You see, big as he is, and strong
as he is, Buster is very shy and
bashful when human beings are
around. He growled and whined
and squealed. He tried to back
out of the pail and couldn’t. He
tried to shake it off and couldn’t.
He tried to pull it off, but somehow
Prisoners Nabbed in Daring Tunnel Escape Plot
A wholesale jail break was prevented by officials of the Eastern state penitentiary at Philadelphia, Pa.,
when two 38-foot tunnels, dug by convicts, were discovered leading from prison cells. Left: A guard is shown
in one of the underground passageways. Right: The opening where convicts would have made good their
escape. Detectives, armed with machine guns, were rushed to the penitentiary when the plot was discov

he couldn’t get hold of it. Then
there was another yell. If Buster
hadn’t been so frightened himself he
might have recognized that second
yell as one of fright, for that is what
it was. You see, Farmer Brown’s
Boy had just discovered Buster
Bear. When he had yelled the first
time he had supposed it was one of
the young cattle who live in the Old
Pasture all summer, but when he
saw Buster he was just as badly
frightened as Buster himself. In
fact, he was too surprised and fright
ened even to run. He just stood
still and stared after that second
yell.
Buster clawed at that awful thing
on his head more frantically than
ever. Suddenly it slipped off so that
he could see. He gave one fright
ened look at Farmer Brown’s Boy,
and then with a mighty “Whoof!”
he started for the Green Forest as
fast as his legs could take him, and
this was very fast indeed, let me
tell you. He didn’t stop to pick out
a path, but just crashed through the
bushes as if they were nothing at
all, just nothing at all. But the fun
niest thing of all is this—he took
that tin pail with him! Yes, sir;
Buster Bear ran away with the big
tin pail of Farmer Brown’s Boy!
you see when it slipped off, the
handle was still around his neck!
He didn’t want it. He would have
given anything to get rid of it. But
he took it because he couldn’t help
it. And that brings us back to the
question: Did Buster Bear steal
Farmer Brown’s Boy’s pail? What
do you think?

BY PHYLUS BELMONT
IT/ILL you kindly tell me where the
rr salad should be placed when eaten
with the main course? To the right or to
the left of the dinner plate? Should the
dessert course be served at the table or
placed on the individual dishes in the
kitchen and brought to the dining room?
Thank you. MRS. HOSTESS.
Answer—The general rale is to
place the salad plate at the left, but
if the guest is to be considered, it
is much easier for him to have the
salad at his right and be able to
eat it without reaching over his
main plate. Of course, if a bev
erage is served with the main
course, then the space to the right
of the dinner plate is occupied and
the salad plate will have to go to
the left. If the hostess is respon
sible for the cooking as well as
serving the dinner, then whichever
way is easiest for her to serve the
dessert is the right way. It seems
quite natural if the hostess has pre
pared a luscious-looking pie or a
pudding that looks as if it were
ready to have its picture taken she
will wish her guests to enjoy looking
at it and hence will serve it at the
table.

ARMY AIR CORPS TO ADD 150 TRAILER DARK ROOMS
CHICAGO.—A fleet of more than
150 auto trailer dark rooms, fully
equipped to develop and print aerial
pictures in the field under actual
wartime conditions, will soon be a
part of the United States army air
corps.
For more than two years, the air
corps has experimented with vari
ous types of trailer coach dark
rooms perfected by auto trailer
l manufacturers. As a result of those
protracted experiments, army of
ficials will build the fleet.
The new "portable photographic
laboratories”—that is how the army
officially describes them—are in
tended to take the place of the old-
style field dark rooms, which were
more or less stationary because they
required tents to be erected, equip
ment and materials to be packed
into trucks, followed by unpacking,
and too much time before being put
into operation.
D. D. Arehart, president of the
Palace Travel Coach corporation,
which built the first portable photo
graphic laboratories for test pur
poses, said the vehicles are "con
structed of non-corrosive metals and
built to be used in any temperature
or weather conditions in the world.”
“They are constructed so as to
travel at high speed over rough land
and open ditches,” Arehart said.
"They contain all the delicate equip
ment and instruments for modem
photography. They are air-condi
tioned and furnished with drying
equipment for high speed printing
and developing. They are equipped
with their own power plants and
are capable of operating in any loca
tion and give high speed and accu
racy in developing pictures during
field operation under conditions of
warfare.”
Regular Sleep
Habits Restore
Child’s Energy
By DR. JAMES W. BARTON
(Released by Western Newspaper Union.)
A GREAT deal is being said
and written about sleep
these days, because rest—un
broken sleep—is a great build
er in children and
a great restorer of
energy in adults.
The fact that in
fants sleep nearly
all the time is
na-ure’s method of preserving
the energy for growth and de
velopment. The kicking and
squirming of infants for the
short time they are awake seem
to give them all the “exercise”
they need.
Just how long should chil
dren sleep?. The Ontario De
partment of Health, in one of
their series for mental health
clinics, give these figures:
Birth to six months—18 to 20
hours.
Six months to two years—16 hours.
Two years to six years—12 hours.
Six years to 10 years—11 hours.
Ten years to 14 years—10% hours.
Fourteen years to 18 years—10
hours.
Regarding the first two years of
life, the most important rule in de
veloping healthy sleeping habits is
to leave the child alone. Make sure
the baby’s needs in regard to nour-
• ishment, waste
from bowels and
bladder, and cloth
ing are looked after
at regular hours.
Then, if the baby
cries, be satisfied
that he is comfort
able and do not in
terfere. A definite
, routine for sleeping,
K waking, food and
m toilet should be es
tablished from the
beginning. This
should be changed only to suit the
needs of the growing child.
Regular Habits Should Be Built.
As children grow older, a definite
hour for going to bed is advisable
and he should go to bed the same
hour every night.
In regard to exercise, the young
ster should be allowed, at regular
hours if possible, to roll, squirm,
kick and stretch without too much
clothing to hamper these exercises.
Daytime rests or naps are advisable
up to the fifth year, right after the
noon meat if possible.
Room should be well ventilated,
bed clothing light, soft, and warm.
Light and sounds should be avoid
ed as much as possible if they at
tract his attention.

How Hunger May
Affect Behavior
“TPHE man was on trial for at-
-*• tempted manslaughter and
brutal maltreatment which he had
committed after he had been with
out food for about a day. The ac
cused did not recall having commit
ted the criminal acts and investi
gations revealed that the brutalities
represented the release of accumu
lated feelings of resentment on a
day on which the accused (a) had
been without food, (b) on which he
had suffered severe headaches, and
(c) on which he had been unjus-
tifiedly accused and deliberately
made jealous by his fiancee.”
I am quoting from Drs. B. Stok-
via and A. Nearebout in Scandinavi
an Medical Journal, Stockholm.
There may be a few who would
say that the idea of justifying a
brutal deed because the accused is
hungry is ridiculous and just another
“medical” way of trying to prevent
criminals from being punished.
However, it is a known fact that
when you are hungry, real hungry,
the amount of sugar in the blood
gets low and, with this low amount
of b’ood sugar, consciousness begins
to fade so that you might easily for
get what you are doing.
Sugar and Behavior.
Drs. Stokvia and Nearebout inves
tigated the possibility of conscious
ness and behavior being affected
by lack of sugar in the blood due to
starvation on 10 healthy persons.
They found (a) that hunger is fol
lowed by a reduction of sugar in
the blood, (b) hunger causes a re
duction in consciousness in propor
tion to the lack of sugar in the blood.
They therefore believe that the re
daction and change in the conscious
ness of healthy individuals due to
hunger should be taken into consid
eration in estimating the behavior
of delinquents who have committed
criminal acts during hunger.
