A MARCH DAY AT BIRD WINDOW
A handsome Flicker finishes a
leisurely meal at the suet, then goes
to the bird bath for a drink. A
strident call and a second flicker
seems to leap from space into the
branches above, sending the first one
away in a flash of yellow. Mr. Red
belly appears at the same time and
perches on the feeding tray for a din
ner of crushed corn. He and Flicker
glare at each other for some seconds,
then Red-belly retires, with no words
spoken, no blows exchanged.
Meanwhile the sparrow tribe hop
about, here and there, in the tree,
on the feeding tray, on the ground
feeding contentedly. There are a
few tree sparrows to make them wel
come. They come and go in flurries,
like leaves blown by the wind. And
the Junco relationship are there too,
keeping decently aloof. They are
dainty and fine, w ith their dark gray
and white.
A clear "Peter-peter" announces
the Titmouse pair who reign supreme
at the window feeding tray, unafraid
of the human behind the glass. They
are quite amiable with each other,
but sometimes must scold and ruffle
their crests threats which come tc
nothing.
"Yank!" says Mr. Nuthatch, look
ing neat and handsome with the
black band on head and neck. He
trips about over the ground and on
the tree, preferring to be upside down
it seems. He spread his tail angrily
when Flicker stays too long at the
suet.
Erown Creeper comes inconspicu
ously, and creeps up the tree to eat
daringly at the edge of the suet,
while Flicker feeds. You would not
think such bravery of so quiet a fel
low. But he has other accomplish
ments. He flies out from the tree to
the ground where he garners a bit
of corn. He starts creeping up the
tree to eat it from a crevass there, but
drops it mid-way. Instantly he flies
out and catches it before it touches
the ground.
Chicadees hang at crazy angles in
the branches, on the suet and the
feeding trays, saucy and friendly, al
ways on the move. Their "Phoebe"
call is very gay on this cold day.
A pair of Cardinals arrive and eat
eagerly of the grain on the ground.
A pompous Robin Red-breast comes
running to drive them away from the
least. But with their shy dignity they
refuse to be routed, and move to the
other side to eat.
Downy woodpecker conies to the
window for suet, and sounds like
someone knocking to come in. Be
tween blows, he peers around at the
strange creature on the other side
of the glass.
And here is Mr. Hairy, noisy as
usual, and very suspicious of birds
and humans alike.
A harsh call and a flurry of blue
and the Blue Jay pair come flying
They like the water, and take a bath.
even through a film of ice.
itea-ueiiy comes back to make an
other try at the grain. He has
brought his mate with him. After he
has had his fill not until then he
allows Mrs. Red-belly to have some
too.
Mr. Cardinal grows unchivalrous
and chases his wife around the tree
But she takes it in good part and
feeds as happily elsewhere. She has
not gone modern, evidently.
Just now, the bird bath lies still
and I see branches reflected in it
And on one hangs Mr. Titmouse, hi;
crest erect. The lovely picture stays
a moment, then the wind ripples it,
and as at a signal, Titmouse vanishes,
to arrive in person at the window.
The Cardinals fly away, satisfied,
and immediately from a tall tree near
comes his lovely, "What cheer. What!
What! What!" What indeed! I could
not ask for better thanks.
Robin sounds a warning note (a
car is coming), Titmouse seizes one
last sunflower seed and then all the
feathered actcr3 fly away, leaving a
stage, strangly empty and lonely.
It is good to know that they will
come back.

OMAHA, Oct. 22 (UP) xV tale or
heroism eked out last night when
it was learned that Thomas Mur

States National bank here, had saved
a member of a duck hunting party
from drowning.
As a result, Chester J. Van Ness,

the stream when their boat over
turned. "Can you swim?" Van Ness asked
Jones as they splashed in the icy
current.
"Yes, a little," replied Jones.
"I can't," Van Ness shouted. "If
I hold onto your coat maybe you
can pull me in."
After several strokes, however,
Jones told Van Ness he couldn't make
it.

WEATHER MAN DENIES
EaUINOX BRINGS STORMS
MOBILE, Ala. (UP) The equinox
does not bring violent storms, ap
pearance of mushrooms and toad
stools doesn't mean rain, and most
weather maxims are just super
stitions. Those are tho opinions, at least,
of Frank Cole, Mobile meteorologist.
"Any storm in late September or
early October is called an equinoc
tial storm, but that reckoning is 15
days off," the weather prophet said.
"The belief in Indian summer and
the equinoctial storms are. to a cer
tain extent, superstitions. These
winter-type storms may come at any
time of the year. The hurricane sea
son is worst in September, but hurri
canes are not equinoctial."
Cole then listed the maxims which
he said are worthless:
Mushrooms and toadstools are
numerous before rain. A, bee was
never caught iu a shower. Lazy spid
ers bring rain.' When fish, bite read
ily and keep near the surface, expect
rain. When birds no longer sing,
look out for rain. When a parrot
whistles, expect rain. In good weath
er, a cat washes its face, but in bad
weather, it sits with its tail to the
fire.
When chickens wallow in the dust,
look for rain. The moon with a circle,
brings water in her beak. If stars
do not twinkle, rain will sprinkle.
When the stars begin to huddle, the
earth will soon become a puddle.

RIFIED TREES IN WEST
VANTAGE, Wash. (UP) A forest

neath tons of basalt ranks this small
desert town as an interesting point
of the west.
Twenty-eight miles east cf Ellens
burg, Wash., on the shoulder of the
gorge carved by the Columbia river
in its passage to the sea, shovels of
geologists and CCC workers have un
covered trees of more than 30
varieties all turned to solid stone
' by the lava that flowed over them in
a prehistoric era.
l The 7,000-acre area where the
I solidified logs have been found is
named Ginkgo Petrified Forest, for
among the approximately 5.000 stone
logs it is estimated to contain, there
has been uncovered a petrified
ginkgo tree, one of a species consid
ered as native only in western China.
Although the petrified trees in this
area are called a "forest," they in J
fact were down timber or logs float
ed by rivers into the present resting
place 15,000,000 years ago during
the Miocene epoch, when the area
that is now a state park was covered
by the waters of a lake, geologists
declare.
Molten lava flowed into the lake,
engulfing the logs, and in the course
of centuries wood cells of the im

Dome tcTHold
200-Inch Lens is
Nearly Ready
Turret Atop Mt. Palomar Will Con
tain 850 Tons of Steel
Base Completed.
By ARTHUR N. SUVERKRUP
United Press Staff Correspondent
MT. PALOMAR, Cal. (UP) The
huge revolving dome which will
house the world's largest telescope, in
the $6,000,000 California Institution
of Technology observatory atop this
6,000-foot mountain, will be com
pleted by Christmas eve, engineers
said today.
Over the $1,000,000 "highway to
the stars," huge trucks roar daily
up the grades carrying tons of stwl
plates which will form the 135-foot
dome.
These plates, weighing one ton
each, are 7 feet in width and 21 feet
in length. In all, a total of S50 plates,
or S50 tons of steel, will be repre
sented in the completed dome.
Already the base structure of the
observatory has been completed, and
the circular track on which the dome
will revolve is in place, after having
been ground to mirror-smoothneso by
engineers who labored throughout
last winter unmindful of rain, sleet
and snow.
Search for Peak Bcrjan in 1930
It was just seven years ago, Capt.
Clyde McDowell, U.S.N. , retired,
supervising engineer, recalled that
scientists first began the search for
mountain-top suitable for location of
the observatory which will be 70 per
cent complete before the first of 193S.
Today in the optical shop on the
Tech campus at Pasadena. 200-yards
from the astrophysical laboratory,
skilled workers are grinding the 200
inch mirror, from which 2 inches of
pyrex has been painstakingly whit
tled in IS months.
Early this month even members
of the observatory council were ex
cluded from the cork-lined thermo
static controlled grinding room where
J the 20
ground
ton piece of glass is being
it was explained that even
the smallest particle of hard dust
might ruin the mirror.
Through a thick window, from a
corridor, scientists may look at the
grinding process of the $1, 000, 000
mirror, which. Dr. George Ellery
Hale, known as the father of the
200-iMch- Mirror, .sai.d may 6c?4tle- for
all time the question of whether the
universe is in the process of explod
ing. Science believes it will b3 on the
threshhold of a new era of discov
ery when the mirror finally is in
place and the observatory ready for
operation in 1940.
Universe May Yield Secret
Among the1 questions science hopes
the giant telescope will answer is
that of whether the universe is lim
ited by the curvature of space. The
new telescope will enable science to
bring to light for the first time ob
jects so many light years distant from
the earth that they are beyond the
comprehension of any mind except
that of an astronomer.
About March 1. from the plant of
the Westinghouse Co.. in Philadel
phia, will be shipped the rotating
cage 'which w ill be synchronized with
the rotation of the earth. Other elec
trical equipment, almost magical in
it3 operation, also is to be installed,
including a dialing system and ex
change which will be used in aiming
the telescope.
Commissioning the observatory in
July, 1940, is being awaited with in
terest by the scientific world, because
it is believed it will enable further
study of a sub-system iu the uni
verse, first discovered by Prof. James
Cuffey, of Harvard. This sub-system,
it is now believed, is an indication
that vast stellar groupings are con
nected by gravity.
