Show HERE'S A BIRD OF A WAR SUGGESTION If the Poudikeepsle recatta is cancelled can-celled on account of war, Jim Rico does not intend to be idle, although he will have no crew at Columbia to coach. Jim proposes to go into the parrot raising business Ho will train tho parrots to fly like carrier pigeons and will then offer them to the army. "What's the Idea?" he was asked. "Why," he answered, "if the onomy shoots down a carrier pigoon taking messages from one goneral to another the message is always discovered, but If they shoot down a parrot that's the 4 end of iL Dead parrots can't talk, and if a parrot gels through alive he can deliver tho message by word of mouth." |
