But Denis Craig volunteered with assurance, Oh, Mr. Johnson will wait for you. At the foot of Lone mountain, Mr. Johnson. A moment later Mhry found herself being whisked down the winding drive beside Denis Craig In his roadster. The October morning was perfect, the sun warm and caressing. Craig swerved from the main road and followed a trail toward a low mountain. At the foot of it he stopped the roadster. , , Will you climb Lone mountain with me, Miss Brown? 1 &. Mary, daughter of a millionaire, has the idea that tier personality Is obscured by the fact that she is the child of the rlcbr Oavid Brown, and determines to make her way In life unaided.

Alien Sparrows Are Gluttons and Will ' Not Give Other Birds Chance at Food The little alien English sparrow Is not only our most familiar winter bird resident, but one thoroughly disliked by every one who conducts a winter feeding shelf. It Isnt so much because the hungry rascals are not entitled to food when they need it most, but when they swoop down on the shelf there is no room for any other bird and their gluttony soon cleans the shelf, observes a writer in the Detroit News. Theyre gangsters, seldom attempting to take possession of the breakfast table singly or In pairs, preferring to overwhelm other species by numbers. One of the most frequent questions asked by those who find pleasure in winter feeding Is how to rid their shelves of sparrows, so that the more desirable birds will get their share of food. This Is not difficult provided you. are willing to spend some money for. scratch food. The English sparrow prefers to feed on the ground and so long as the flocks can find sufficient food in such locations they will stay away from intimate feeding shelves. If a generous supply of scratch food is scattered on the bare ground the sparrows will be content with this. , If the ground Is a patch should be swept clean before scattering the food. Scratch food can be , snow-covere-d, supplemented by table scraps, particularly bread or cake, and the sparrows seem to prefer this to grain. Once the birds become acquainted with their ground food plot you have no further trouble with them on the shelf provided the supply of food does not become exhausted. Mecklenburg Declaration The Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence Is claimed to be the first declaration of Independence In America, says Pathfinder Magazine, and It was a series of five resolutions passed at a mass meeting held at Charlotte, Mecklenburg county, N. a, In May, 1775. These resolutions asserted the sovereignty of the peoples rights and declared them free and Independent of the British crown. The original copy of these resolutions was destroyed by fire in 1800 and since that time much controversy has followed as to the existence and authenticity of such a document The Razor Fish Tricky The razor fish, a species found In the vicinity of the Florida Keys, gathers Innumerable bits of coral and arranges them in a heap with a small crater In the center.
