treat out. now o‘rtinct. somehow at-
tracted interest. so that today many
people would unheoitatinglye name
this auk as the rarest bird specimen
a museum could have. As a matter
erod roreer than the great auk.
ored lore than.the great ouk.
Thostory is told of a parrot that
was imported to this' country back
in the duties. and bought by a ‘deal-
or in this city. The bird attracted
no unusual attention. its feathers
were dark green and red. arranged
so that the color oflect woo queer
rather than beautit‘ul. No one ad-
mired thh pet enough to buy it. and
in time it died. perhaps because it
was deopondont over tho world's
lock of appreciation.
The dealer saw that it was a rare
spoeunen. and asked it the National
Museum would care to have another
parrot for exhibition. This started
an inquiry into the bird's natural
history and the discovery was made
that it was a. Phillip island parrot.
At the time it was imported the
bird was not a very rare specimen.
It was known. however. only on the
one island and since then it has be.
come otirely extinct. one scientist
ilgures that specimens of the Phillip
lslond parrot are now five times as
rare as great suits. since there are
10 or more great aukokina on exhi-
bition. and only leer 15 Phillip 1s-
land parrots. . - . -'
Its right to fame has been estab-
lished. but it has never aroused the
applause or‘ interest at the multi-
tude. The parrot of our story
stands neatly stuffed ins. case in
the National Museum. A printed
card shows it to be an important
specimen worthy of respectful at-
tention. But the average visitor
gives it at best a sweeping glance
and wanders on eagerly to View the
gorgeous birds of paradise nearby.
linee shiplonds of bird immi-
grants are inspected by agricultural
specialists. the chances of a rare
specimen having quite ouch a tragic
career as this parrot had are slim.
Moreover. even museums resort to
press sgenting their rare exhibits
these days. and a bird that lacks
brillian plumage or entertaining
ways may still fire the public imag-
ination by the old of a little skillful
.publicity.

with shopping commissions for oth-

“That their foot posture and the
shoes they wear can affect their en-

Railroads vs. Farmers
oiuting out that farm lands and
0 ton term property in the Western
States increased about 12 billion
dollars in value in the 20 years end-
ing wi 1931. and that this great
incr the wealth of the tarm-
ero coul ot have occurred without
a great development or the rail-
roads. the Railway Age declares. in
an editorial in its current tune. that
the policy of railroad regulation
tavorod by .mony western public -
mentor whom the farmers are vot~
tag, now. would make absolutely im-
pel-filo any corresponding increase
in the prosperity and wealth or the
western (armors in future. ‘
" stranger to the, tents.” says
the way Age. "might naturally
conclude that the sentiment being
manifested by the western farmers
I toward the railroads is a result of
prolonged oppreuon o! the farmers

STICKY FINGERS
Little sticky lingers. it is very plain
to see
With your pulling and your tugging
that you make a. wreck of me.
There's a splotch upon my collar
That is larger than a dollar.
And my new and shiny necktie is a
positive disgrace!
On the bosom of my shirt
You have left a smear of dirt.
And something seems to tell
there is butter on my face.

up man to do
“men he comes down stairs o' morn-

YOU.
And your arms are held out. shak-

For a bit of merry-making.
And those chubby little fingers and
those rosy little thumbs
Seem to dance and throb with
glee?

To save his spotless collar from the

Little sticky lingers. as a gentleman

I have held you on my shoulder and
I‘ve hugged you to my breast
While those little hands were
pressing
All the signs of their caressing
On my white and shining ralment,
and
Ive seen the people smile
At my collar sadly soiled
Where your rosy thumbs had
toiled—
But linen doesn‘t matter. it is only
pomp and style.
Little sticky lingers. stamp your seals
of love on me.
Press those hands upon my collar
and happy I will be. . ,
Oh. it's little I am caring
For the linen I am wearing.
I would rather own these smudge:
than the jewels of a king;
I would rather tolko’could see
Every stain you leave me
Than to wear a spotless collar where
no sticky lingers cling.
