How do you read character?

Down through the centuries. people have tried to gain insight into character by many diflercnt methods.

But, whether or not you believe in any system ofilcharactcr analysis", you can always tell something about the character of a "man simply from the fact that he owns life Insurance.

This fact alone tells you, for instance, that he is a good pro- vider. For here is proof that he feels genuinc concern for the future welfare of his family - a concern that usually reflects a

considerate nature.

i

It's pretty reliable evidence, too, that llC is thrifty, forcsiglitcd,

realistic - and a good credit risk. . . . . .' Hr---vi:--'-. - ..

- To his employer, his ownership of life insiirdibe sbgfgests "readi-

ncss to assume responsibility - an attitude that will carry him

toward success in any job.

And, if he is using his life insurance to build income for his later years, you can be quite sure that hels the self-reliant type. No relatives or public welfare organization will ever have to

suppbrt him!

All in all. you'll find that most of the solid citizens in any com-

munity own life insurance I

"Quite true. I've just left. there-- feeling like a bit. of chewed string. I'm frlghtfully sorry about having had to mention you. but I reallii couldn't help it. The police seem to have been interviewing all sorts of people at the Boldovlna. and I had to tell all I knew about Bor- den."

"Yes." "You didn't tell them anything else?”

"Yes, yes. only that. were you serious about their suspecting you? Barbara seems quite alarmrd."

"Tell her not to be. I shall be all right. But. the detective chap cer- tainly put me through it-sort of third degree on 3 small scale. Why he even got hold of my hat and started examining it."

"Your what?"

"Hat-I-I-A-T. I quite expected him to get a microscope to it."

There came a queer sort of chok- ing sound and then silence. Roy spoke again; then he joggled the receiver arm but there was no re- sponse. The line was dead. lle hesi- tated a moment, before hanging up and leaving the box. He was too tired to wait any longer.

As he stepped out of the post. of- fice he bumped against I man in a brown suit, who was reading a letter beside the door, but was too wiary to utter even the conven- tional, "Sorry!" A taxi with its flag up was coming along the street, and he signalled. It drew to the kerb, the driver honking fur- iously at n bedraggled figure in the gutter with 3. tray slung on it. Roy called his address: 1'16. Whit- tiriglon Street, west. Kensington; got in and was driven off.

A moment later the man in brown was following him in A sec- ond taxi. The match seller looked after both for a while. then he. inn. fnllowcd. shuffling along, offering his wares as he went. and seeming. perhaps on account of his forlorn appearance, to be gathering in quite a good harvest of coppers.

ITS PART Of THE FUN

BLILLETINS FROM BIRDLAND

t WINiF'REl)il:.1VlLS4'.Q

vic-rimzsn

A great many birds, from the tiny. five inch Warblers to the eleven or twelve inch .Browp Thrashers, suffer from Cawhlrds. Not that the adults are injured by them. but they are victimized, hav- ing to nurse Cowhird children when this is apt to mean destruc- tion to their own. Mrs. Cowbird is no respccfer of persons, laying her eggs in any available home.

No shape of nest. at any height is safe from intrusion, whether it be the open cup of a Savannah sparrow placed beside a branch of daisies, or the basket of a. Red- eyed Vireo hanging from s branch 26 feet from the ground. One, two, three. or even four cowblrd eggs may be placed there to be incu- bated. The alien eggs nearly always hatch first. Cowblrd babies have insatiable appetites, and snatch most of the food, grow quickly, and push the rightful owners from the nest.

some householders. as the Vee- rys, give in easily, but Song spar- rows, Yellow-throals, and many. many other kinds of birds are too submissive. There are those that feel obliged to accept the foreign egg if they already have a family of their own, but when the unwel- come guest is found in their other- wise empty nest. they abandon the home. This is the plan or the Mourning Warbler, a species that until recently was seldom disturb- ed by Cowblrgis because its nest is always yo well hidden.

For some unknown reason, Cow- birds deposit their eggs more fre- quently in the homes of Yellow Warbleis than those of any other bird. Few species are able actually to throw out the extra egg, though some manage to. But this little Warbler o ten displays unusual cleverness. t either abandons the site entirely, or builds another nest right. on top of the first one.

Seemingly. the parasitic Cow- blrds are increasing. At one time they kept pretty much to grass- lands, where they followed the cattle sround, using only nests that could be reached conveniently from there. Now we are discovering their eggs in wooded country. More than once Phoebes nesting in shan- lles in a sugar bush have provided homes for young Cowbirds. Not even oven-birds escape, though their habitat is the mature forest.
