' Considerable -difficulty was , ex perienced in recording the voice of the nearly extinct trumpeter swan, a few of which, still persist in northwestern Wyoming and. eastern Montana. After several days of study, however, a blind containing the motion picture camera and mi crophone was placed to catch the activities of the parent swans and their young and. record the calls of this vanishing' bird,- which 'at tains a wing-spread of nearly, ten feet and a weight of 85 pounds.

The most danger ous factor In our social life today is the educated characterless individual If our splendid educational facil ities drug the watchman at the tow. er Instead , of causing him to give the warning that safeguards - from destruction, it has hopelessly, failed in Its high purpose.

THERE are two distinct types of stairways. - The first and cus tomary type is the open stairway. The second is the closed or boxed stairway. ; Tb,e names are descrip tive. An open stairway -may be detached from side walls and be a distinct architectural ' entity 'open throughout .its entire length from floor to floor. This Is the case when the stairs start in the -center of a bail, and rise in broad steps, which usually divide part- way up, each half turning to rise, and join an up per floor opposite the other half. There may be a landing, where the division comes, or It may be that the steps form a circular stairway. For the entire height, each- of the stairways described is open on both sides, ' with edges- railed. It takes very . large halls to Include such types of Staircases, V Those -who have seen them in private homes realise the . architectural grandeur they Impart ' to the residential en trance nails. ' : ' Open Stairway. The. name open stairways, . or staircases as they are Interchange ably termed, is also applied to those which have banisters on- but one side, the open one, while they foi- lon the contour of the wall on the other. The. circular staircases of olden. times are notable. Some of them are found In the spacious mansions of early American days. The one drawback Is that the width Tattooing to Stop Poultry Thefts The special poultry tattoo committee of the ConnectlcuiVPoultry association, working with the department of agriculture extension service aqd the state police, has perfected a plan which will holp stop poultry thieving.

For practical purposes the stair cases with landings dividing the height -are deservedly popular. The landings break the long mount The boxed stairway Is one which is waned . in on both sides, and therefore has no architectural beau ty. The partially- boxed stairway is one which is open but a p6rtlon of the way, which generally Is the lower part Thus Some architec tural merit Is attained. - Advantages. The advantage of 'the boxed stairway Is that it can be shut off by door or hangings across the en trance on the lower or upper floor, thus conserving beat It probably was - chiefly for this reason, that many boxed stairways, were put in houses at one time when homes Vere not centrally heated, or where fuel was a very great Item of cost Boxed stairways for this reason are In general use for back stairs, and for those which go to a third floor. - Open stairways are featured In almost al' homes for the front halls of today, with semi-boxed stairs introduced only when the- plans make them necessary. Boxed front stairs,' having no -architectural beauty, are relegated to upper halls and back stairs. C Ball AyndlcaU.

Their First Match The "great day" had arrived for thP . Floodente Street Dribblers. Wasn't this their first match of the season and they intended to win. They marched on to the ground, to be met by' a solitary Indivlduol, whom they mistook for the referee. "Nah look 'ere," said the captain, "If we don't win this 'ere match terday ye'r In fer It!"

The tourist In the South had just about been convinced by the old fisherman that the beautiful water off the beach wasn't Infested with alligators that would tear him apart If he tried swimming there. Out before he ventured In, he turned for a last assurance. "What makes you so certain there's no alligutnrs?" he asked. "Because the sharks scared 'em all away," answered the fisherman.
