The wood thrush, or swamp robin, as it is commonly called, is a sum mer resident here, arriving about mid-April and leaving in November for it’s winter home south of the U. S. These large thrushes are locally abundant in swamps and woodland. They are reddish brown above, white below, heavily spotted with dark brown. The length is eight inches. They are among our best songsters and usually sing about daybreak and toward night. Their song is worth a trip to the woods to hear. Around ' my home I hear these birds every j day—-three or four of them singing j from different parts of the wnod. These birds nest either in forks or | on horizontal boughs of small trees, I rarely ever over ten feet from the i ground. About eight feet is the -av erage height. The nest is constructed of mud, lined with black rootlets, and covered on the outside with dead leaves. The three or four eggs are bluish green, hardly as large as those of the robin. Nesting begins about the first of May and continues thru July. Only one brood is normally raised in a season. The wood thrush is an entirely beneficial bird, feeding on insects and small berries and fruits. They deserve protection to the fullest extent, not only for their wonderful song, but for their economical value. I hope this little article will cause others to know and love the wood thrush as I do. If It does, m^ aim in writing it will be accomplished.

LK/LDioLd FUR lKUUVd TO BE ON NEW BASIS Gross Weight Capacity to Be Baste For License After July 1 on all Trucks An act changing the present basis of licensing trucks and trailers from the present method of chasis weight plus loan to what is known as manu facturer's gross weight capacity will go into effect July 1. The bill to that effect was passed in the last Legislature. It was intro duced by Representative R. A. Doughton, of Alleghany. Manufacturer’s gross weight capa city is explained as being the maxi mum weight the manufacturers of trucks and trailers warrant their ve hicles to carry, including the weights of the chassis, cab, body and load combined. The rate of fee per hun dred pounds has been reduced from 55c minimum and $1.00 maximum to 40c minimum and 70c maximum. The I introducer of the bill and his commit tee estimated that the new law will produce approximately the same rev enue as the law now in effect. This new method was suggested by W. S. Corbitt, of the Corbitt Truck Com pany of Henderson, and officials of the N. C. Truck Owners Association l and easy of enforcement. North Caro as being the most modern, efficient lina is the first State to adopt it. The new law also transfers the re venue received from the franchise bus and motor freight lines and the for hire motor vehicles from the State’s general fund to the Highway Fund, and changes it from a fran chise or privilege tax to a compensa tory tax for the use of the highways of the State. j The Motor Vehicle Bureau of the Department of Revenue has been bu sy for the past two weeks return ing applications for licenses for the last half of the year with letters ad- | vising truck and trailer owners of i the changes and instructing them as to the proper method of application and the correct new fees. BUY AT HOME! ELECTRICITY CAN BUILD BUSINESS Good Lighting Makes Display Effective. One exhibit at the Chicago World’s Fair is particularly interesting to merchants, whether their stores are large or small. That is the one show ing the use of electricity in merchan dising, which is part of the power industry’s “electricity at work” ser ies. There is a carpeted dress shop with Parisian imports being modeled by tiny mannequins upon a revolving stage, with curtains that open and close automatically. There is a gro cery store in which light indexes the foods kept on various shelves. There i sa beauty shop, a bakery and a res taurant, each showing howr lighting effects may be used to make q, strik ing and tempting display. All are the products of months of work by mas ter craftsmen, electrical and mechan ical engineers, in consultation with experts in various arts and indus tries. The average store, like the aver age home, hits as yet taken little ad vantage of the possibilities of modern lighting. It is a pretty safe bet that the store which does, will be the one that sees its volume of business anc its profits rise. All other things being equal, the buyer will go to the store which displays its merchandise mosl uniquely and catches his eye most definitely. As a result, the electricity in mer chandising exhibit might very wel be entitled “Electricity as a business builder.” Card of Thanks We wish to thank our many friend: and neighbors for the kindness anc sympathy shown us during the sick ness and death of our husband anc father.
