BIRD NOTES
Julian Boyce read an article about
the Chimney Swift at the regular
meeting of the Bird Club Saturday
morning. Julian found that when
the first settlers came to America,
among other interesting and new
things they discovered was a small
greenish black bird with slender
wings and with feet so poorly developed
that it very seldom attempted
to slight. This bird was in the
habit' of building its nest in tall hollow
trees but it was- wise,eneugh to
profit by the coming of the white
man, and, attracted by the warmth
of the chimneys, began to build its
nest in them.
The Swift found that its nest
would be secure there from owIb and
snakes and other marauders. lite
nest of the Chimney Swift is stuck
to tks^ ihaide'wall of the chimney
with a sticky gelatin-like saliva, to
which the sticks, it brings in its feet,
adheres. In Southeaster^ Asia and
the East Indies these birds' nests are
made entirely of the glue and the
natives collect them and make them
into a soup, which is oomsidered very
fine and commands a higher price
than almost any other article of food.
No one should be allowed to kill
the Chimney Swift for he ffeeds entirely
on insects such as mosquitoes,
gnats, flies and ants and he catches
most of them near the house, where
they do the greatest harm.
Some" get their blade eyes from
their ancestors and some from their
adverse "es.
A. H. Turn age at the Marine Corps
of the New River base has beau received
in which he promises *to be
with ub for the occasion, unless callaway
by some emergency.
The program will feature, gongs
appropriate for the occasion by the
audience and a colo, 1 Am Praying
