The West Side Forestry club is one
of the few clubs in the city federation
which is opposed to changing the time
of the annual election from April to
December. The members think it
would be d mistake to break into the
club work this winter by an election
and change of officers. The reasons
given for the proposed change are that
the state federatiOn's amended consti-
tuition makes the hseBtl year begin with
the calendar year in January when the
smaller declarations dues are to be
paid, and that the election of a new
administration in April gives only a
month for the new president to pre-
pare her report for the state fedora
ton meeting. The retiring president
should really, under the present plan,
make the report. The West Side
Forestry club thinks the election
should be changed from April to June
Then If the amendments go into eff
feet Immediately upon being adopted
the present city federation would hold
over until June, Mrs. Clement Smith,
the present president would report the
federation affairs at the state meeting
in May and the new president would
take her office the following month
and have all summer when little is do
ing in clubs to prepare for the winter
and get her committees into working
order. Just before her retirement in
June she would make the annual re-
port for the federation at the next
state meeting. The suggestion seems
to be a good one and more is likely to
be heard from it.

BARS BIRDS
ON HATS

St Louis, March 3O.-Gov. Folk has
signed the walmsly fish and game law
effective June 16. under the provisions
of which women are permitted to deco
rate their hats with birds OF only a few
species.
BY the enforcement of the law many
thousands OF dollars worth OF forbidden
feathers and bird bodies in wholesale and
retail stores In Kansas City, St Joseph
and st. Louis will become contraband.
Only the feathers of domestic birds,
such as ostrich, chickens and ducks. may
be used. while the wild birds allowed
milhners are confined TO English spar
rows, hawks, horned owls and crows.
The section OF the bill applying 10 birds
used In millinery provides that no per-
son shall catch or have in his possession,
living or dead. any wild bird, or purchase.
offer or expose for sale transport or ship,
within or without the state, any prohibit
ed wild bird after IT has been killed or
caught.
The law plainly prohibits woman
from wearing into the state a hat bear
ing a prohibited bird. The hat may be
the only one she has, but unless she
cares TO face a fine OF from s25 up, she
must leave II outside the borders.
Women will have 10 consider their
toiletoes before they visit Missouri, or
find themselves reckoned with the crimi-
nal classes.
The law even prohibits decorations.
and no doubt the interstate commerce law
will be appealed to. in order to define and
make inactive this provision.
