Birds Which Follow Snow OST BIRDS like to be where it is which warm, do not but mind there the are cold- some ness winter.

On the contrary, they seek places where there is snow. Among such birds is the snow bunting, goes by the name of "snowflake." The summer home of snow buntings is up in the region of the Arctic Sea. They are found in Iceland and Greenland, in northern Canada and Alaska. Even in those far northern parts in certain places during the summer grass and plants grow. The snow buntings build their nests on the ground or among rocks, using curly Arctic grass and moss.

The nest walls are about an inch thick, and are warmly lined with feathers, so that when the eggs hatch the young need not shiver. During spring, summer and fall, snow buntings give their gift of song to the people who live in northern lands. They bring up their young, caring for them tenderly until the wings are ready for flying. These birds do not mind snow and a fair degree of cold, but they seem to wish to avoid the bitterest winds of the Arctic winter. They fly southward during the fall.

Most birds which fly south do not stop until they reach a region where there will be little or no cold weather. Not so with the snow bunting. It will go no farther south than it feels sure there will be snow. From Maine to Oregon, flocks of snow buntings spend the winter. Each flock is commonly made up of from ten to twenty birds.

It has said that they "come with the snow." The feathers of the buntings are EDISON SENIOR LOOP RESUMES ACTIVITIES The Senior Basketball League of the Edison Community Center resumes its league activities to-morrow night after a layoff of three weeks when the league-leading Telegraph Press five meets the Buicks in the opening game, and the Galahads meet the Pennsylvania Light and Power five in the second contest of the evening. Although the Buicks have won only one of their three contests to date, they have shown remarkable improvement in their play and will give the undefeated Press to five a great game for their money row night. A feature of the play of the Buick aggregation is their team work and this smooth working five may give the leaders their first defeat. In doing battle with the Pennsylvania Light and Power five the Galahads are set to strengthen their in the event Buick victory to hold on the berth, and second go into a tie with the Telegraph Pressers for the league lead. Probably the team that has shown the most marked improvement in the Senior.

League has been the light and power five the addition of Patterson and Givler, and a defeat for the Galahads is certainly not an outside chance. Games start at 7.15 o'clock.

Elected Again Snow Buntings seek places where there is snow mainly white, but there are black or brown markings on head and back. The colors match well with fields of snow.

For foods the birds eat seeds of plants which poke their heads above the snow. Great amounts of weed seeds are thus destroyed. The birds also scratch down to find worms which are trying to spend the winter beneath the snow. When the buntings are near the seashore, they eat small shelled creatures which are washed in by waves and tides. Snow buntings have been reported as far south as Georgia, but the few which straggle there do not remain a great while.

As soon as the snow begins to give away, they fly northward. To-morrow-Long-Legged Wading Birds.

And that's a formula for success. Nobody who is really successful does all the work himeelf. He employs other people's minds and efforts.

Do you do the same in the intricate business of running your home and taking care of your family? You can, quite easily. You can employ specialists in diet; you can serve the master dishes of famous chefs; you can have the advice of style authorities in selecting your clothes, of whole electrical laboratories in buying household appliances, by reading the advertisements. All the newest knowledge -knowledge millions of dollars and years of effort have won--is contained in the advertisements. If you will use the advertisements in this newspaper as Andrew Carnegie used men who knew more than he did, every dollar you spend will be spent wisely, economically, and will return full measure of satisfaction. That's the way to be a success in the greatest busi.

ness in the world -making a home. It pays to read the advertisements.
