MR. MOCKING BIRD FALLS IN
LOVE
By JAMES P. WHITESIDE
(St. Louis Post-Dispatch)
For the sixth consecutive Spring, Mr.
ind Mrs. Mocking Bird are back to spend
lie summer with us. They have nested in
the grape arbor, the honeysuckles and the
j lilacs. But the cedar trees suit them best.
I Cedar needles, I suspect, repulse cats and
I screech owls that forage in the night,
i Papa Mocking Bird recently coaxed Mama
to venture with him into a dense cedar and,
upon emerging, he did some things that
lead me to believe they will make that
tree their home. This is the season when
his fancy turns to thoughts of love, and
when the love bug nips him, he becomes
the most ardent lover in all the replm of
I nature.
After his cloistered rendezvous with
[Mama, he leaped into the air, turned over
[and then landed on a rose bush, singing a
Clicking song. The Missus sat in the top
the cedar and watched his gymnastics,
Fas if she thought he might be the cutest
Jfthing in the world. But that's the kind of
■'■;iellow he is. When there's something on
his chest, the mocking bird tells the world,
end if the world jeers, he doesn't ruffle a
feather.
Papa is the principal musician in the
family, but Mama can and sometimes does
"break into song. Her musical repertoire
I

is not as extensive as his and her technique
not so perfect, but with the responsibility
of taking care of the home and bringing up
the family, her time is pretty well occu-
pied. Then she may think one tempera-
mental critter is enough to have about the
place, anyway.
Papa mocking brid is handsome and
knows it, and by nature a dude, yet he's
no flirt. I have seen an unmated female
come into the yard and attempt to vamp
him while his mate was nesting. Instead
of succumbing to her winsome wiles, he
chased her into the deep woods, shrieking
furiously.
When the nesting season arrives, his pro-
Jam for the day runs something lik«- this
(scending to the top of the big chimney
on the house or the pinnacle of the giant
oak, he begins with musical trills that only
a genius could conceive. Just for good
measure, he intersperses his songs with
vaudeville that borders upon the fantastic.
Leaping from his perch into the air, turn-
ing a somersault or two, he lands exactly
on the spot from which he made the ascent,
singing all the while. Then he climaxes
his performance by tumbling from his
perch and falling awkwardly toward the
ground, but before he hits the ground, he
recovers his equilibrium and sails around
the house, filling the yard with rapturous
melody.
When the fruit on the mulberry tree
besides the house is ripe, this gay trouba-
dour turns up there for a breakfast of dew-
laden fruit. Frequently his mate leaves
the nest to join him for a snack, especially
in the early morning. When he has had
his fill, he takes a position on a twig at the
tree top and sings all the songs'"'
that the wild birds know. In
this realm, he is divine. Then,
within an instant, he appears to
be beset with devils, just be-
cause a red-headed woodpecker
dropped in for a few berries.
Jeering angrily, the mocking
bird charges the woodpecker
and they flutter through the j
«?e, the singer in hot pursuit
One night last summer, after
e moon set, a storm came up
Lightning flashed and thunder
roared ominously. At roost was
this matchless songster, perch- 1
cd high In the majestic oak. |
Sensing the approaching storm,
he began a serenade to his mate,
to let her know that all was
well. He sang the brown wren's
melodic song, the red bird's shy,
sweet notes, and the oriole's rip-
pling cadence, with its Spanish
flare. He sang until the wind

the dogs crouched obediently in
the snow, fulfilling their last
order.
When the hazardous flight
was over and the explorers had
unloaded their precious gear,
they turned curiously toward
one of the men who was carry-
ing a suspiciously bulky suit-
case which he had guarded care-
fully during the flight. "What
do you have there that's so
valuable?" they asked.
Without answering, he open-
ed the bag. Out tumbled seven
furry little huskies not quite
ten days old.—Tom Gootee in

came and the rain beat in torrents, reveal-
ing a brave little heart. I knew it must
have comforted the little wife tucked away
in her nest.
THE RHINOCEROS
By J. FRANK BROWNING
(Our Dumb Animals)
There is one animal for which the sharp
claws of tigers and the dangerous teeth of
lions carry no terror. He's the massive
rhinoceros. This fearless fellow, one of
the ugliest of all living creatures, wears a
hide so thick and impenetrable that even
the sharp spear of the native cannot pierce
it.
Surprisingly enough, the rhinoceros, for
all his 5,000 or 6,000 pounds, can crash
through the jungle at such a speedy gallop
and use its versatile horn in such a way
as to keep even the king beasts at a re-
spectful distance.
Among land animals, only the elephant
exceeds the rhinoceros in size, although
the hippopotamus can equal it.
Unless molested, the rhinoceros is not
a dangerous animal. But he doesn't stand
for any foolishness, and when brought to
bay or wounded he is so fierce that even
the bravest hunter prefers to let him alone.
The rhinoceros has one enemy that does
not mind in the least his raging. A cer-
tain fly creeps between the folds of the
leathery skin and burrows into the sensi-
tive flesh. All the great strength of the
rhinoceros will not help him. He must
wade into the water or wallow in jungle
mud until the fly and its larvae are smoth-
ered.
Luckily for Mr. Rhino, the hornbill a
tropical bird, is especially fond of these
particular flies, and a strange, friendly
partnership is the result. The rhinoceros
gives the bird the freedom of its body on
which it alights to poke its bill into the
skin folds. And in return for a meal of
flies, it actually acts as eyes for the short-
sighted animal, for if an enemy approaches,
it flutters before the rhinoceros, uttering
warning cries.

ARMADILLOS WEAR SUITS OF
ARMOR
Ever see suits of armor in a museum?
Suits of armor that the knights of old
wore, for protection in battle? That gives
a rough idea of how an animal, known as
the armadillo, is protected. An armor of
bony, movable plates covers the back and
entire sides of its body. These bony
plates allow it plenty of freedom to move,
and yet they protect the flesh inside. Even
the head is protected by a bonnet of bony
structure, entirely separate from the shoul-
der plates. If attacked, the armadillo can
roll itself into a ball. When it does that,
only the bony outside plates show, and all
the tender flesh underneath is protected.
The armadillo's natural habit for many
years is Southwest Texas. But now arma-
dillos are found over parts of Northwest
Texas. They are hated by the farmers
and ranchers, because they will eat eggs,
young poultry and quail.
SMUGGLER WITH A HEART
Early winter storms and a closing ice
pack forced Admiral Richard E. Byrd's
heroic band of antarctic explorers to aban-
don their East Base outposts on Palmar
Land. They made their last minute
escape in a battered Condor plane in which
they could take only their scientific in-
struments and a few personal belongings.
One problem remained: what to do with
the pack dogs which had brought them
across the ice to Palmar Land. The dogs
couldn't be left to starve. And there was
no time to risk an additional flight. Re-
luctantly but humanely, the men staked
out their dogs for the last time and set
charges of dynamite to detonate a few
hours after their departure.
Boarding the plane they tried not to
think about the huskies they were desert-
ing. But when the overloaded Condor
rose precariously from the ice, they look-
ed long and hard at all that was visible of
the East Base—the upturned muzzles of
