A couple of long Beach, Cali- fornia, ambulance drivers had a big case on their hands recently when' they pulled 2'1-year-old Cvuy cherry from hi.s damaged auto- mobile. suffering minor cuts and bruises, Guy -was taken to the Seaside hospital and given the biggest bed in the place to sup- port his 64.0 pounds.

The ancient Hindus performed I. curious and amazing ceremony for the cure of jaundice. They be- lieved, for instance, that the yel- low color must be banished to yel- low objects. and to procure for the patient a healthy red color from a living source. such as a red hull. with this in mind. A priest recit- ed the following lines: "tip to the sun shall go thy heartache and thy disease: in the color 0! the red bull do we envelop thee! May this person go unscathed and be free of yellow color! The cows whose divinity is Rohini, they who, moreover, are themselves red - in their form and strength we do envelop thee. Into the par- rots do we put thy jaundice."

when the priest ended the chant the patient was given water con- taining the redihair of a bull to drink. Then to improve his color and remove the yellow tint, the priest plastered the victim (rum head to foot with porridge and set him on it bed to which was at- tached several birds of yellow feathers.

Then he washed of! the porridge with water - the jaundice at the same time entered the body of the birds. The final act of the priest was to glue a patch of red hair to the patients skin.

in Plutarch's day, it was believ- ed that a jaundiced person would be cured by looking into the eye of a stone-curler. The disease would then pass to the bird and kill it.

our forefathers had the notion that jaundice could be cured by the application of gold, or by drinking wine in which gold had rested for three nights.

A chance to get a real taste of salt water will be given two Sea Cadets from the Atlantic Prov- inces next month when the cruis- er, H.M.C.A. Quebec, sails from Esquimalt, B. C. on March 11.

The cruise will bring the ship to Halifax April 18 and it also will provide real see time experi- ence for 10 Sea Cadets who will be chosen from across Canada. Those selected to make the trip will travel from ocean to ocean via the Panama Canal. Although no indication of the cadets to be selected has been given boys of the local corps, R.C.S.C.C. Kent, are hopeful one of their number might be chosen.

e . Naturalists tell us that the leaves of certain trees are deadly to venomous reptiles. one relates, that seeing a bird in great ex- citement, without any obvious cause, he watched her fly to a cer- tain tree, pluck off a leaf, and, returning, deposit it carefully in its nest. Finally, the mother bird perched on a branch near her nest, and then watched 21 large snake stealihlly approaching her young with glistening eye and open mouth. A moment more, and the serpent lifted its head above the nest. Then it shot it into the nest. As it came in contact with the leaf it pulled itself up quickly only to tumble to the ground dead.

FLIGHT CHARACTERISTICS

Mr. Citizen wonders how any- body can possibly know what kind of it bird he sees flying overhead unless it is making some noise or its colours are visible. However, Iihere are flight characteristica- lsome quite simple to learn. others lrequiring a trained eye. To begin iwifh, flapping, gliding, and soaring lare the three main types of flying. Flopping is. of course. the most used. As the wings move up and down the bird is supported in the air and pushed forward. Gliding comes in handy sometimes. the bird's u-imzs remaining motionless while there is a loss of altitude. Soaring to us appears. perhaps. the most amazing. as with no apparent effort the bird gains height. And a few species are capable of hov- ering. or remaining as though sus- pended in mid-air.

Certain classes or groups ofbirds have a. propensity for one particu- lar type, and therefore may easily be roughly Identified. We say it is "some kind of a Buzzard". if a large bird with round. very broad wings is seen flying high, circling rotiiiti and round. Long. pointed wings with a bend at: the wrist. like the Tom's. are designed for fast glidlmz. A Tern can hover. also. The I-lummingliird is our live helicopter. This is the only land bird which is capable of flying backwards, and one of the few able to rise straight. up in the air. When hovering over a blossom its body is more tilted than in normal flight. Its long. narrow wings are lion- ilexible, and its flight unique in the bird world.

Another unique flyer is the The action of the bow- shaped wings is most peculiar, and has been carefully studied by sci- The wing tips do most of the work. Con- tinuous Wing beats alternate with long, sweeping sails.

A good example of an easily rec- ognized flight: is the undulating motion of the Goldfinch. The bird looks as though it were on a scenic railway. Very characteristic. too, -is the flight of our various kinds of woodpeckers by a series of quick wing-strokes. with slight pauses between. They seem to progress by jerks. Ducks may be spotted with- out trouble by their outstretched necks, short tails. and the rapid beats of their comparatively small wings. Their flight is very direct. A bird now very well known in

The 4.15 plane to Chicago was being given a. servicing by the maintenance crew when sally Al- llston alighted from the air field limousine. Mike White was already there. and young.Puul Prick, who had been assigned to Mike's crew for the duration of Jimmy's sus- pension. sally ' ned as she set her little overnight bag down on ih floor and went over to give hi greetings.

At least, the thousht, looking at this sober face, he wasn't a kid. "Hi. Paul. old son. You mean you've decided to grace our plane with your presence!"

''could be, sally. sorry to hear about Jimmy. Though if I know him. I bet right now he's saying that his suspension was a small price to pay for that kiss with Dronda. Moore." ,

"You know him well, Paul. Jim- my won't ever allow a. job to in-

terfere with his running after women." Mllke looked up from the mag-

azine he was reading and laughed, "Oh, go easy on the lcid. Bally. He isn't, the first young man who threw away all for a. women. And don't you think there's something rather majestic in doing that? It's the truest compliment a man can pay it woman."

Mike looked anything but de. jeoted as he sat on the little bench beside Sally in the waiting r m of the Detroit City Airport bu id- ing. She had come up to him the moment he got down from the cabin, with the firm command to date her that evening in Chicago, come hell or high water. He had just smiled, unable to believe that she really meant it. but her words how were convincing him that it was all quite true. '

"After all, Mike, I don't see any reason why we shouldn't go 0111 wsether. DO you realize that we have been in the same crew for almost six months and that in all

"Jimmy, my foot! It's that Maj- or Wasson. I told him I had a date with you this evening, and he looks like the sort of person who's 1101"! to make very sure he's not being fooled."
