Snug Quarters These! 
Autumn chill without—cozy warmth within: 
Fall winds, leaf-laden, bringing the first hint of 
Winter, whisper down the chimney — “All’s 
well with you and yours.” Such the feeling 
of security—such the sense of well being, in 
home ownership. 
Arkansas Soft Pine 
is ready to help you realize your home of dreams 
come true. It’s a splendid wood — staunch in 
the structure—perfed: as highly finished, lasting 
woodwork. Ready, too, in ample supply at a 
price representing the minimum in building 
material costs. 
May we send you a copy of “Home and Happi¬ 
ness” giving the How and Why—plus twelve 
small house designs — or our de luxe folio of 
more substantial types? Either, and finished 
samples, will be sent on request. Write T[ow!

The humming bird’s characteristic feeding habit is to 
hover before a flower and thrust his bill deep into it 
in search of insects and honey. So rapid is the wing 
action that the camera cannot catch it 
RUBY-THROATED HUMMING BIRD 
M R. WILLIAM L. and Mrs. Irene 
Finley of the National Associa¬ 
tion of Audubon Societies for the 
Protection of Wild Birds and Animals 
have obtained motion pictures of hum¬ 
ming birds in flight, at home and in the 
act of rearing their offspring. These 
pictures were made under the auspices 
of the Goldwyn-Bray studios. 
The ruby-throated humming bird is 
distinctly American. As its name im¬ 
plies, its throat has a metallic ruby 
sheen, tinted occasionally with green- 
gold. Its back and wings are a bronzed 
blue or green and gold. 
The humming bird does not subsist 
on honey, as is popularly supposed. 
True, he extracts honey from the 
flowers he visits; but the insertion of 
his long, sharp bill into the deep chalices 
of lilies and trumpet vines is rather to 
find insects which elude other searchers 
than to obtain honey. 
So well armed is the humming bird 
with his long, rapier-like bill, and so 
well adapted for swift flight are the fea¬ 
thery wings which move so rapidly that 
their movement hums a tune, that this 
little pilot of the skies is unafraid of 
man or beast or bird. He is no longer 
than a woman’s thumb, but so swift is 
his attack and so elusive his flight that 
even the speedy hawk avoids him. 
The humming bird builds his nest in 
the crutch of two branches. His home 
is made of vegetable down, mullen 
leaves, or thistle down, all carefully 
bound together with spider webs and 
plastered with green-grey lichens to 
blend the nest’s coloring with the limb 
of the tree to which it is attached. 
When it is finished, it looks exactly like 
a small knob on the branch of the tree. 
Humming birds add as much to the 
beauty of a garden as butterflies do, and 
are also good insect policemen.
