Homes as Modern Chimneys
me 160
For the past week the swifts have been wheeling about the University heights. They have been whirling in and out of the journalism building chimney in such swarms that they make a sound like distant thunder. Why they have left their hollow trees and cool open wells in Central America and come back to the dirty old chimney to roost is their secret.
They have forsaken the ways of their ancestors for the smoke-stacks of civilization. When Columbus discovered America the swifts were building in hollow trees. They continue this custom now, only in a few thinly populated parts of the country.
The chimney swift is not a swallow. It belongs in a different order. It is a relative of the nighthawk, whippoorwill and humming bird. Yet its size, its twittering song, and its feeding and nesting habits are very similar to those of the swallow which it so curiously resembles. It can easily be distinguished by its stiff mechanical flight that in some ways is like the motion of a bat; and while equally swift, yet lacks the dash and sweep of the swallow's skim.

"THE BARRIER"
Every situation and climax is immense, and the dialogue is written to meet the requirements of the theatergoers who prefer realism to extravagance. In other words, "The Barrier" has been dramatized to please, without losing one thread of the beautiful story.
