But who else has acted in a man ner to require a mutual defense pact be raised against him? Pacts of this sort are the children of necessity. The situation is now this: the Atlantic Pact nations have defined their Iwmndar- ies and banded together to prevent viola tion of those boundaries.

MAGPIES GO MODERN W TH METAL NESTS SYDNEY, Australia i- — A n. st m an Australian magpie, a crjw-shlike, was recently found b;. a naturalist to contain 342 feet ox wire of various lengths and guages. Ninety-five per cent of the material in the nesit was metal, ranging through one piece of fenc ing wire 5 feet long, three pieces 4- 3 feet Idng, 16 pieces 3-4 feet long down to brass and metal rings. In all, according to W- Martin, ol East Kew, Victoria, who made the count, there were 227 pieces of metal. With their strong beaks the magpies had intervyoven many of the pieces of tough ;wire into a circular nest and then lined their nr:tal home with fibrous material. Tiie; nest was 20 feet 'up in a Nor folk pine. The magpie’s liking for metal It s church. \ V ★ El Paso (Paramount) starring John Payne, Gail Russell, and George “Gabby” Hayes. (Cam pus) , j The same old western, with the same old story, the big land steal; add the two together and what do you have, nothing. The only thiflfc one can say about El Paso, is that it must have been an gwfully dusty', town in its early existence. John Wayne, the rugged he-man, rides for law and order in the El Paso territory, and before long it leads him to the opposite side of the fence. In fact he is chasing the law, and at the same | time is being chased himself. Tlje two forces clash in a dust storm, and neither you nor the charact<|riii know whd is shooting whom. Gail Russell is adequate as Payne's romantic opposite, and “Gabby” Hayes characteristi cally provides the few entertain ing momr-nts. Other than that there isn’t too much you can say, in print, about “El! Paso.” materials in nest-biiilding is re sponsible for majny electrical breakdowns in Australia. The bird, with a length of wire in its beak, flies into overhead supply lines or builds itsj nest on the cross-trees of transjinission poles. In some Australian ^states repair gangs are required to gather up all scraps after a job and spikes are placed on cros^-trees to dis courage the birds from nesting there. i GOLD DISCOVERED IN ROCKWELL, TEXAS | Gold has been discovered in Rockwall, Texas.
