there was an article that should be
read by every woman. 1t is written by
William T. Hornady, director of the
New York Geological Park, and is
called Woman the Juggernaut of the
Bird World" 1t is a pitiful story that
he tells.
The article begins by saying:
"The blood of uncounted millions of
slaughtered birds is upon the heads of
the women. They have shown them
selves a scourge to bird life all over
the world. 1t is one of the anomalies
of human nature that the sex usually
so gentle, tender and sympathetic,
should in this matter be SO bloody
minded and so savage. These are hard
adjectives, but they are deserved. The
vanity of woman and their thought
less, stupid devotion to 'style'-style
that in this instance is decreed solely
by commercial interests-are wiping
off the face of the earth one after an
other of our beautiful and interesting
bird species.
THE slender, soft fingers of women,
that handle their own habits so gently
and so tenderly, are as hard and cruel
as mailed fists when they are stretched
out to snatch the wings and plumos
and breasts of helpless wild things.
Those merciless fingers are stretching
out into all parts of the world, into
the trackless jungles of New Guinea,
the snow-capped peaks of he Andes
the islands of the Pacific, where ever
there is beautiful bird that can be
caught and slaughtered for its adorn-
ment. The humming birds of Brazil,
the egrets of all the world, the rare
birds of paradise, the toucan, the
eagle, the condor, the emu, all are
being exterminated, that women may
! decorate their hats. 1t is not only tn Vt
some individuals of a species are
killed Whole species are disappearing
Under the relentless pursuit of the
plumage hunters and will soon be for
gotten"
MIR. Hornady goes on to explain in
detail what he means, and tells WHY
and how all the beautiful birds of the
world are rapidly being exterminated
The story of the egret is familiar, and
+ it is hard to see how any tender-heart-
| ed woman can desire an egret after she
knows that the plumage is plucked
| from the mother bird alive, when she
| has a nest of helpless little birdlets
She is left to languish and die while
the little birds starve slowly. 1t Is
only in breeding season that the feath-
er of the egret is desirable and that s
why she must suffer and the birdlets
starve. Every feather and plume that
fashion demands-except, of cours J.
the ostrich plume, which is obtaine4

Nature had said, "If you must hava
