to be removed it is as well to cut them
at once from the loaf, leaving it shapely.
If sandwiches are to be shaped with a

sary to cut crust off at first. These
crusts and trimmings should never be
wasted. Either make at once into dress
ing or pudding or dry thoroughly, put
through the food chopper, and store in
glass jars with covers. Cut slices very
thin and even. A loaf should make from
"a to 80 slices. Lay the slices in pairs as
they are cut, put filling between faces
where cut apart and they will fit per-
fectly. As to butter, it should be neither
cold nor hot. Warm it somewhat, then

BARS BIRDS ON BoNNETs.
New Law In Empire State Saves Many
Native Species,

That fashion will soon cease to pre-
scribe the nuptial plumes of butchered
mother birds for the headgear of Ameri-
can women is indicated by the passage of
the Audubon bill that Governor Hughes
has just made law. Not only aigrettes,
but also the plumage of the native wild
birds that check crop pests all over the
continents it is predicted, will be made
questionable by leaders in the millinery
centers, whose traffic in such stock will
be prohibited by the new law While the
cruel determination Of the aigrette-bear.
ing herons will be stopped, millions Of
dollars worth Of the country's crops will
be saved as the result of this legislation,
it is declared by officers of the National
Association Of Audubon societies, who
have labored for the last five years to
secure its passage
Realizing that all trade in aigrettes
must end when the Audubon law takes
effect. the Broadway feather dealers are
reported to be frantically trying to dis
pose of their supplies of the plumes for
which the white herons are slaughtered
among their starving young. The costly
products of this bird butchery are now
said to be becoming drug on the millin-
cry market, where once they commanded
fancy prices. Under the circumstances
it is believed that the milliners will urge
Paris to alter its styles and check further
demand for these barbarous trophies on
women's hats in this country.
For the first time in the history of
New York state it will be possible to
prosecute under the Audubon law anyone
who makes millinery ornaments out of
the economically valuable wild birds.
Now that New York has Joined Cali.
fornia, Oregon, Massachusetts, Louisiana,
Ohio, Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin and
Washington in protecting these feathered
crop guards by law, it is prophesied by
agricultural authorities that much will be
accomplished toward cutting down the
country,s annual crop loss due to insect
pests. Following up its victory in New
York. the National Association of Au-
dubon societies is preparing to procure
protective laws uniform with that in New
York state for the birds that guard the
farms Of every one of the United States.
