CRIMES OF A CROW
JO-JO, a tarns crow living at Florham Park, New Jersey, has set up a reign of terror in the neighbourhood. He pecks holes in the roofs of tho houses, ho raids the milk bottles, tearing off the stoppers and spilling tho contents. He loves clothes-pegs and th«» women find their washing . on the ground. One resident estimates heir loss at two dozen pegs a moiith. Any flower vase in an open window is sure to be upset, and all tin cams are scattered out of the dustbins. Mr. George Forsythe, who owns a restaurant, found a. number of neat holes in the roof of his new car. The culprit also devoured the porridge meant for a boy's breakfast, ending up by going off with the cup. Motorists of Florham Park are very annoyed with Jo-Jo, because of his
passion for windscreen wipers; he is very clever at detaching them. Jo-Jo would have met the gangster's fate long ago, but that he is protected by the entire boy and girl population of the town. He loves going to school like Mary's lamb, often ridiug on tho roof of some car. He has even been known to ride on a fire-engine. ' The one thing he keeps a very sharp eye on is a man with a gun.
