At London

LONDON, Oct. 18—(Reutera)— Iron and steel shares continued in demand in the stock exchange ta- day. The demand, however, was more selective than of late and ai- though sharp rises were recorded, proflt-laking caused slight set- backs.

Other industrinls were quietly firm. There was small inquiry for textiles, rayons and electrical equipment with most of the lead- ers recording gains of a few pence.

The recent buying of Cable and Wireless ordinary stocks continued

today. This is prompted by hopes

of a high breakup value and a rise of several points was shown.

WINNIPEG, Oct. 18-(CP)—Thc United Kingdom was allocated 250,- 000 bushels of wheat in export business reported on Winnipeg Grain Exchange today. Rye scored fairly good advances on commis- slon house and local demand prompted by continued dry wea- ther, unfavorable for the seeding of fall rye. There were occasional shipper buying orders.

The Cooper's Hawk

This hawk has been described as a larger edition of the Sharp-shin- ned Hawk (A.O.U. 332), but has some structural and plumage dif- ferences that will be noticed in the description. As one of the Accipi- trine group, it has short rounded wings and a long tall. It is noted by Peterson (author of "A Field Guide to the Birds"), that the Ac- ciplters fly with several rapid beats and then a short sail.

They are woodland hawks, and do not soar in the open as free- ly as the Buteonine hawks do. They are hold and fearless in pursuit of their quarry and will return to at- tack a chicken several times after being driven off. They are consid- ered entirely destructive and well merit the appellation of “Chicken Hawk," which they share with the previous species. Cooper's Hawks may use the old nests of crows, etc., or may con- struct new ones of coarse twigs which are lined with liner materi- als of the same kind. From three ta five eggs, greenish or bluish in ground color, and often spotted brown, are deposited in the nest. From Baln’: "Birds of P. E. 1., one gathers that the Cooper's Hawk was somewhat common fifty or sixty years ago: now it is classed as one of the rarest of our hawks. Cooper's Hawk, Chicken Hawk. AOU. 333. A summer resident, but not common: a larger bird whose plumage is a facsimile of the Sharp- shinned Hawk, with these excep- tions: Crown of head darker; tail inclined to be round, the outer tail- feathers being shorter than the two middle ones. Feet moderately stout, bare portion of the tarsus shorter than the middle toe, scutel- iae (scales of legs) distinct. Aver- age length of male 16 inches, fe- males larger.

More About Mourning Doves

About a month ago, the writer contributed s Note an the Mourn- ing Dove, including a description. The Dove is an occasional visitor here. and for that reason deserves our attention.

In North Carolina, (which is about the centre of its range). it is being studied by the Wildlife Resources Commission which has already brought to light some in- teresting facts. The dove nests in each of the 48 States and in all the southern Canadian provinces: it migrates from Alaska at. least to the West Indies and Central Arn- erica.

In the horth this dove is classed as a song-bird and many people de- sire increased protection for it. In the south it is looked upon as a. game bird second only to the Bob- White Quail, and ranks fourth in popularity, kill, and importance among American same birds as a whole. Statistics collected in 25 States show that over “eleven snil- lion mourning doves were shot by. American gunners during the open season of 1942. “The furor over open hunting seasons below the Mason-Dixon line" seems respons- ible for the inquiry into the stand- ing of the bird and the regula- tions for its protection.

Nature Notes

There was a good (and early) set of tomatoes in the garden this year, but late blight attacked the plants and reduced the quality of the yield. The fruit was watery, and the seed saved was thin and poor. However, I always save some seed of the previous year to meet em- ugencles. Some of the fruit split- evidence of too much rainfall — but there was no "black-rot." I am coming "to believe that the “rot" is caused by some insect biting the fruit for the sake of the juice, in dry weather: then the rot-spores enter the wound.

The higher forms of fungi. mushrooms, toedstaols, and the like, have been very scarce this year. in this district. But I notice that the microscopic fungi, causing disease, are attacking the Norway Maples and willows, preferably the older trees. One of the white birches in the lane, has contracted the mys- terlous "die-back." The top is al- ready deud, and the leaves on a side branch turned yellow long before the rest, a sure sign that some- thing is wrong.

Pickled walnuts were acclaimed

as the "King of Pickles" in the North of England, as I well remem- ber; and I have heard Islanders speak of them with enthusiasm. For many years I have wondered how our Black Walnut. or its rela- tive the Butternut, would substi- tute for the English Walnut as a pickle. _

Early in September, a good friend who knew my ambition in this matter. sent me a quantity of green butternuts for the experi- ment. The nuts must be green, and soft enough to be transfixed with a hat-pin or a darning needle. The nuts are placed in a bowl of salt and water, for three days, then drained, and the salt and water re- newed. After three more days they turn black, and the salt water is finally drained off.

Sufficient boiling vinegar to cov- er them was poured into the bowl and pickling spice added. When the vinegar cooled the nuts were ladled into quart sealers and the vinegar poured in to cover them. There they are to remain for three months before using.

At the beginning of October I took down a jar and tried till pickle. The bulk of the nut was quite soft and of excellent flavor. The inner shell put up a slight re- sistance, showing that the nuts nad not been gathered soon enough, but the vinegar may put that right be- lore the remainder of the time ex- pires.

Unlike the black walnut. the green butternut is covered with a sticky varnish which retards the action af the salt and water, so that it took a day or two extra. The varnish did not affect the taste of the pickle. The method of pickling is from memory and savors of the old “rule of thumb," but if any reader is interested, I can procure instructions as to proper‘ quantities of salt, spices, etc. Meantime 1 am satisfied that there is s. ne kind of pickle in the offing. '

Review of the British Position

In The Monthly Record, London, England, there is an article an “The Mind and Heart of England," by S. K. Ratcliffe, a journalist who at- tained his 80th birthday last June, and who has consequently seen Britain in her most prosperous days and now in her worst.

There have been many books (he says) written by American and Continental writers, most of which dealt with national character and social practices, rather than with the intellectual forces now operat- ing upon the people. But foreign observers will soon direct their at- tention from our peculiarities of behavior and so on, to our modes of thought; for Britain's world position ls of immense significance to all people.

"Foreign critics have argued that the British mind has been mould- ed by theories and beliefs directed by the country's vital interests",

which I suppose to imply that the i

British are greedy for grain, and "grasping imperialists" as indeed they have often been termed. There is no doubt. however. that all classes, rich and poor alike, de- pended an, or rested in. the extra- ordinary fortune of Great Britain ss a World flower. A proud poet once wrote-"Time and the ocean and some fostering star, in high cabal, have made us what we are." Now, during a century or more, the world regarded the Empire without resentment. British com- mand of the sea was a fact and a not unwelcome one, though quite misunderstood by those who de- nounced “British imperialism". No- body challenged the strength and world influence of Britain till the First World Wnr but with the Sec- ond there was s. complete trans- formation. The price of survival was the pouring out of Britain's total resources, “and victory only revealed the massive weight of two rival Powers." Britain therefore recedes and the Britons know that the movement is irreversible. This generation is involved in the Great Retreat and its effect cn the na- tlonal mind is yet to be measured, though the lines are already visible especially in the acceptance of org- anized withdrawal as a plain nec- essity.

Look eastward: Egypt, and the Middle East, India and Burma. and Palestine rapidly and finally evacu- ated. Great Brltain is closing in, and from what was once the im-

protest. The mind of the privil- eged classes has been overturned: they know their order to be dispos- sessed, they no longer think of wielding power overseas. The car- eers which nttracted their sons has faded out. Again, in the mul- titude there is a new desire and a new conviction. The imperialist sentiment of fifty years ago is gone. The British people are urgently ab- sorbed in daily problems — work, pay, recreation, and the outlook for their children. Empire has now become of little importance io them
