Trenton, n. J., Aug 5.-According to
an opinion given by Assistant Attor-
ney General Nelson b. Gasklll to Wal
ter II. Fell, secretary Of the New Jer-
sey fish and game commission, women
wearing aigrettes or other decorative
headgear made from the plumage OF
birds will not be compelled to aban-
don their use in order 10 escape jail
or a fine.
Mr.. Gaskili contends that the anti
plumage act. which took effect Tues
day. applies only to the killing of wild
birds and the sale of plumage of birds
or 10 have such plumage in possession
for the purpose Of sale He says:
"Plumage which is in possession OF
person and not for sale Is not af-
feoted by this act and any plumage
now being worn or owned for purposes
of adornment is not included within
The scope of the act"
While this opinion will protect wo-
men wearing plumage Of birds pro
lected under the game laws of New
Jersey. il will no doubt stop the fur
Their sale of such plumage in New
Jersey. Under Mr.. Gaskili's opinion
New Jersey mi.liners will not be al
lowed 10 sell plumage or dispose OF
