A SHORTRIDGE zoology student adds to my store of information on woodpeckers, as follows: “In your column Monday, you said: ‘You can't expect’ a woodpecker to show much sense . .. when it's always giving itself concussion of the brain.’ I beg to differ with you on that. A wood"pecker does not give itself a concussion with its hammering because at the base of the bill of a woodpecker is a layer of fat. This layer of fat acts as a shock absorber and receives and absorbs the shock.” . . . Paul R. Lingle, 1013 N. Olney. st. speaking of woodpeckers, writes that “we have one of those feathered nuisances who perches himself each morning. on our garbage pail at 5:15 and drills until exactly 5:55. This has been going on for 10 days. I wonder if it's the: same bird that has been awakening Mr, Irmiter, I understand his bird starts at 8 o'clock. That's about the time ours leaves.” . . . The Elmer Linblads who live at 3033 W. 63d, think they haye a world record when it comes to long-stemmed red clover. They measured the stem of one they picked in a small field the other day and it was 23'z inches long. Now, if they just can find a market for long-stemmed red clover, their fortune's made.

You Can Help a Boy IF YOU'D LIKE to spare an 8-year-old boy the necessity of taking further painful anti-rabies shots, here's how you can help. Keep your eyes open for a stray toy collie. The dog, probably about 10 months old, is a male, tan and white, a little thin and timid. The dog appeared in_the vicinity of the home of George Outcalt, 5768 N. New Jersey, last week. While playing with the dog, Mr. Outcalt’s your’ son, Sam, fell against ‘the dog and was bitten. At the suggestion of police, the dog was taken to the pound to be held 10 days, to see whether rabies develops. That was Saturday.” In some undetermined manner, the dog disappeared . from the pound Sunday. Rather than take a chance on his son's life, Mr, Outcalt felt it necessary to start giving the boy anti-rabies shots— one a day for 14 days. If someone locates the missing dog for him, he can stop giving the shots to his son and wait until the 10 days has passed. This is a
