Perhaps his mother, Catherine of Medici, had knowledge of what was coming, for Catherine was a manag- ing sort of woman and kept a watch- ful eye on everything that was done or planned in the royal palace. But chefs are an independent tribe, in- tolerant of interference with their af fairs, and possibly only the palace chef and his underlings knew that a rare distinction was about to be con- ferred upon their exalted master. History is silent as to these details. The important fact—vceuched for by Charles Lucian Bonaparte, the French naturalist—is that Charles the Ninth at his wedding banquet consumed, doubtless with great gusto, liberal por- tions of a strange new fowl never be- fore eaten in France—a large and ex- traordinary and very delicious bird known as a “Cock of the Indies.” Thereby Charles the Ninth of France established a precedent. That “Cock of the Indies” was, as a matter of fact, a turkey. No other French king, probably no other European king, had ever dined on turkey, and certainly no African or Asiatic poten- tate had enjoyed that experience, Hence Charles the Ninth’s wedding banquet may be set down as one of the turning points of history. Then and there the turkey, noblest of his royal race, came into his own as the king of all table birds, fit provender for monarchs and for presidents. Second to None on Earth. He is not only the king of table birds. He is also, in his wild state, the king of game birds, certainly the noblest game bird of the Western hem- fsphere and probably unexcelled any- where on this planet. “It has been given to but a few hunters,” says Dr. William T. Hornaday, director of the New York Zoological pdrk, a great sportsman as well as a naturalist, “to seek this bird in its native forests. witness its splendid flight, and after- ward shoulder a splendid gobbler weighing from 25 to 30 pounds for a ten-mile carry. He who has done this, however. will thereafter rank the bird as second to none on earth,” To the naturalist and nature lover, also, the turkey is the feathered monarch of the woods, just as the eagle is the winged lord of the air. He is one of the wildest and in many ways one of the wisest of all woods creatures, and a glimpse of him in his wilderness haunts is an event never to be for- gotten. I have seen him many times in the woods, for I am fortunate enough to live in a region where the wild turkey still exists in considerable numbers; but I have never yet seen him without experiencing that thrill of delight which only the wildest of wild things can impart. And so it will be until my woods-roaming days are over. Wild Gobbler Beautiful Bird. The man who knows only the do- mestic turkey, and who has seen that pompous and racher foolish swaggerer often in the barnyard, may find it a little difficult to understand why the sight of a turkey in the woods always and invariably makes a red-letter day. Let him go hunting wild turkeys— either with or without a gun—and he will understand why. As a matter of fact, the tame turkey of our barn- yard and the wild turkey of our woods are two entirely different birds, differing not only in plumage (though in this respect the difference is slight) but also in form, in bearing, in men- tality and in personality. In the wild gobbler, for all his size and weight, there is something of a gamecock's slimness. His form is pow- erful and stalwart, yet beautifully molded. His bearing is proud and confident; yet one sees in him always a hair-trigger alertness which aec- centuates his wildness; and somehow that wildness is apparent in every line and curve of his body, in the poise of his head, in the glance of his eye, in the springiness of his stride. His rich coppery-bronze plumage glows and glints in the sun and in certain lights gleams like burnished gold; and when he is on guard (and it is no easy matter to catch a wild gobbler nap- ping), he holds himself splendidly erect so that his tall form seems amazingly tall and that clean thorough- bred slimness which distinguishes him delights the eye of the beholder. There have been times when, fresh from a meeting in the woods with some superb bronze monarch of the sunlit glades, I have almost been ready to agree with old Ben Franklin that the turkey and not the bald eagle should have been chosen as our na- tional symbol, Not Match for Fierce Eagle. Almost, but not quite; for the wild turkey, with all his stalwart grace and stateliness and pride of bearing, can- not compete with the eagle in those supreme attributes which render the “Bird of Jove” the most impressive of all the denizens oi the air. The turkey's name is against him, too. It lacks beth majesty and beauty, and to many people it implies, naturally enough, a Moslem origin. Moreover, familiarity too often breeds contempt, and though the wild turkey is as far superior to the domestic turkey as a gamecock 1s to a dominicker rooster, it is the barnyard bird that generally comes to mind when the turkey is mentioned. The turkey, whether wild or domestic, belongs not with the mar- tial birds but with the game birds, a much less dashing and aggressive group than the eagles and falcons; and though he fis fairly strong and swift on the wing for short distances, his power of flight is as nothing com- pared with that of the great eagle | SIX-HOUR DAY FOR RAILROAD MEN By A. F. WHITNEY, President B. R. T. i es ARRING some unforeseen cataclysm the six-hour day is inevitable in the transportation industry. And I predict that when it comes it will disappoint its critics in the same manner the ten-hour day and the eight-hour day disappointed their predecessors. The railroads were generally more prosperous during the period the ten-hour day was in effect than under the twelve-hour day, and they have been more prosperous since the establishment of the eight-hour day than they were under the ten-hour day, and the costs of transportation have not mounted disproportionately. Among the factors directly contributing to prosperity are health, personal efficiency and a generally higher order of morale among trans- portation workers. Shortening the work day is economically reproductive, resulting in better business conditions. No longer is the worker’s leisure a matter of academic human welfare. The vast aggregation of “mass service industries”—for a single example, the entertainment enterprises—find that shorter hours make possible millions of new consumers and patrons, The worker’s leisure, therefore, not only enjoys its humanitarian appeal ; it is also counted responsible for new business aggregating uncounted millions. The extension of the five-day week until now approximately half a million workers enjoy it, has been no small factor in this new business. FAULTS IN SCHOOL TRAINING By DR. WARREN VAN NAME, Brooklyn School Principal. Get away from fads and teach school children things practical. There is too much teaching, too many oh too much canned stuff that is only window dressing. Some teachers and supervisors are so intent on a particular liking that they drill the class on an isolated item and fail comprehensively to cover the work of the term as a whole. A teacher with a good textbook and a thorough knowledge of her subject does not nced fantastic plans to train her children. Plenty of reading, writing, reciting and blackboard work without much fuss and running around by the teacher will do all that can be done. Each teacher should institute a home period once a week. It should be a club period in which the teacher should learn the plans, purposes, traits and ambitions of each pupil. Let a boy who would make a good lawyer aim to be a policeman if that is what he wants. When the time comes for him to change his plans he will be the better for it. Only aimless pupils are truant, disorderly or careless. family. As for physical prowess, the largest turkey gobbler, though far out- weighing the largest eagle, would have no chance in a combat with the latter bird. Not many miles from where this is being written such a combat once took place, though the eagle in this instance was not the bald eagle, our national bird, but a golden eagle. The turkey was already dead and the eagle was feasting on its body when a gunner shot the victor. Belongs to New World.

This is an utterly false notion. The turkeys are a distinctively New world family and were entirely un- known until the firs? explorers crossed the Atlantic. Possibly the turkey owes its misleading name tc the habit once prevalent in England of calling every strange and foreign object Turk, In- dian, and so forth; or possibly the English of those times saw in the headgear of this bird a resemblance to the headgear worn by the Turks. No one really knows how the name | originated and most of the sugges- tions which have been offered are | guesswork. Another common error is the notion | that the tame turkey is the descendant of the wild turkey of our woods. It is quite natural to assume that some person or persons in the early days caught some wild turkeys and tamed them and that from these our domestic turkeys are derived. Like a great | many other plausible and widespread assumptions, however, this idea is in. correct.—Herbert Ravenel Sass, in American Legion Monthly, BRITISH RULE IN PALESTINE By DR. STEPHEN S. WISE, Prominent Zienist. I do not hold the British government wholly to blame for the recent attacks on the J is in Palestine by Arab bands and I have faith in that governmey ts adhaise to protect them from further molestation. When I spoke recently of the British government I did not include the authori- ties in Palestine, as the latter government is entirely separate, and I would | not insult the British government by identifying them with the persons who permitted the slaughter of nearly a hundred of my own people. Cer- tain persons in Palestine who call themselves Christians not only permit. ted the murderous attacks on defenseless women and children, but were instrumental in creating ill-will on the part of the Arabs. We must not allow the recent reports of “war” and “massacre” to re- | duce the emigration to the Jewish homeland. If it does, the Arabs have won, I would not indict a whole people for what might have been the ac- tions of a comparative few. There were some Arabs who protected the Jewish women and children and opposed the wholesale murders and butcheries. CLASSICS NOT COLLEGE NEED By DEAN HERBERT E. HAWKES, Columbia College. The passing of the Greek and Latin classics as required studies has not weakened the cultural background of American college students. The new method of wide survey in all departments has great advantages for the average college student over the old system of intense concentration in a single-field. Unless I am greatly mistaken there is as large a percentage of our able students today who gain the results that the classics were supposed to furnish as there were when these subjects were required of all. Unfor- tunately they do not usually gain it through the medium of the classi- cal languages, but it comes nevertheless. If a given college imposes requirements for its degree that demand a high degree of specialization with the scholar’s devotion, that college must either be certain that all of the students are of the scholar’s tem- perament or look forward to a sad slaughter of those who are admitted to college but who do not possess this quality, or else in the course of a few years expect a gradual tempering of the wind to the shorn lamb. BASIC LAW MADE CRIME AID | By RALPH F. LESEMAN, St. Louis (Asst. U. S. Attorney). | And the Shadow of the Ax Hovers Thanksgiving Birds ov Their “Native Heath.” There is a conflict today between violation of the bills of rights, and encouragement of erime. There is a criminal organization as hierarchical as the national government and often more highly organized. They are | counseled hy men with a knowledge of the law, who use the rights guar- anteed by the Constitution in the defense of crime. The right to have our homes protected from unwarranted search, the right to a fair hearing and a trial by jury, are fundamental and innate, but they can be abused. The criminal uses his home as a shield under the cloak of Constitutional guarantees. He protects himself with techni- calities created by the courts and the legislatures, which are not them- selves part of the Constitution, but which the Constitution says must*be enforced as long as they remain on the statute books. Many of these are rights which are not a part of the basic law and which can and should be changed. { On former tests, it is said, the raising Ra’'sins Fed to Cattle Cattle feeders are buying raisins from the Fresno (Culif.) district for feeding cows, hogs and sheep on the basis of $16 a ton.
