PISO’S for COUGHS SOCHBLE PARROT NOW WANTS FREND Ballyhooers of Birdland, Once Native, Now Imported, Are Ostracized. Polly wants a friend!

Some species, however, range deeply into temperate regions. The Carolina parrot, which, like the passenger pigeon, has been wiped out, used to be r ported as far north as Albany, N. Y and Wisconsin. Regions of New land penetrated by some hardy pa vots lie as far south of the Equator abrador is north of it. “Charges of transmitting communi- cable disease have been laid against the Amazon, a green parrot, and one of the best talkers among approxi- | | mately 500 spec of parrots.

AIl members of the psittaci family are distinguished by the short, stout bill, the upper half of which cxtends beyond and turns down over the lower half, and by the fact that two toes of each foot are directed for- ward and two backward.

SYNDICATE FAILS TO CORNER MARKET Ten Million Bushels of Rye in Storage Brings Huge Loss. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, February 4—The Tribune said today that a New England syndi- cate with nearly 10,000,000 bushels of rye stored in Chicago elevators had falled in an attempt to corner the market, with a resultant loss of several million of dollars. Large buying orders of rye originating in Providence, R. L, gave an inkling to |t . local trade that a corner was being a’tempted. The approximate 20,000,000 bushels in cash and longs owned by the pool gave them half of the average rye crop of the country, which is between 40,- 000,000 and 45,000,000 bushels, the Trib- une said. One of the principals of the syndi- cate was said to be a young heir to a 00,000 fortune. No other refrigerator W ‘Operation? Why is Electrolux the only automatic wefrigerator that is absokutely silent? The explanation is simple. Electrolux is the only one that has can no other automatic refriger- match Electrolux for inexpensive costs as little to use as Electrolux No other is absolutely silent no machinery, no moving parts at all. Machinery requires power. Where you have machinery you’re bound to have some wear, some noise, and considerable expense for power to turn the machinery. In Electrolux a tiny gas flame and a trickle of water do all the work. Gas and water are relatively inexpensive, and very little of each is required. That is why the operating cost can be so low—85 to 55 cents'a week except in the case of the extra- large models, where 70 cents a week is the outside cost. The way this refrigerator works is as simple to understand as the boiling of water inateakettle. The tiny gas flame vaporizes the liquid refrigerant. The trickle of water condenses the refrigerant back into liquid form again. This natural, endless cycle keeps your refrigerator cold, freezes ice cubes and desserts. The low temperature in Electrolux is constant because Electrolux doesn’t have to stop and start. It works all the time. Because no moving parts are necessary installed. in Electrolux, it is absolutely silent in oper- ELECTROLUX Tflgfl, REFRIGERATOR Phane or Write—Our Representative Will Call Washington Gas Light Co.

V" For HACKING COUGHS OVER 73 YEARS OF SUCCESS National 3770 Creveraxy, Onto—A quarter of a cen- tury has passed and a dietary change made by the mother of H. B. Kohorn, 2843 Hampton Road, Shaker Heights, for herself and her children, is still a standby in the family of Mr. Kohorn. This simple change has brought won- derful benefits to three generations, 38 Mr. Kohorn relates below: “‘Twenty-five years ago my mother began serving Postum in our home and no other hot beverage has sup- planted it. ‘Why custom continues “‘There’s a reason: Postum proved beyond the smallest measure of a doubt to be an ideal drink, both pala- table and safe. A quarter of a century has passed since then and today, in my home, Postum is still the only hot drink served daily. My daughter, six- teen, has never known the caffein habit. She loves Postum as her mother and I do. ¢TIt is the most delicious and whole- some drink possible to obtain. In my home as well as in my mother’s, we never experience the distress of head- aches, sleeplessness, and other ills so common where Postum is not served.”” Short time proves benefits, too Thousands 6f others besides Mr. ‘Women's Styles 36 to 44 Misses’ Styles F Street at Eleventh W.
