To WAGE FIGHT ON
A|GRETTE DEALERS
Pennsylvania Women's Clubs
Asked to Support Bill to Pre-
vent Sale of Native Species.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-To rid the Key
stone State Of its reputation as a ma
tional clearing house among the bird
butchers engaged in aigrette traffic,
which has been made illegal in many
States OF the Union, the fighting forces
of the National Association of Audubon
Societies have been allied with the
farming and bird protective interests OF
Pennsylvania to urge legislation pro-
hibiting the sale Of the feathers Of the
egret and other native species of birds.
Behind a bill to protect the mother
birds massacred TO provide these costly
plumes which Senator Jones, of Al
toona, has offered to introduce in the
State senate within few days, II Is
expected to rally women's clubs
oranges and sportsmen. From the pow
erful interests of the feather dealers,
who have made Philadelphia a dis
tributing center for the trophies OF
heron slaughter, strong opposition TO
this humane measure Is already re-
ported.
To rouse the women of Pennsylvania
to the shame of toleratiHg in their home
State headquarters for this traffic in
the nuptial plumes of bird mothers,
butchered for their feathered scalps
while their broods are left to starve,
members of the Federation of Women's
Clubs, which has indorsed the anti
aigrette mo. ement, will be asked to
work in the campaign.
Church, civic and commercial organi-
cations throughout the State are also
expected to lend their aid to free Penn
sylvania from the grip of the feather
traders, for economic and agricultural
as well as humane reasons.

DANCERS TOLEAVE
IF BAN IS PLACED
ON TURKEY TROT
Younger Set Give UItimatum to
Those in Charge of Tonight's
Affair by Assembly.

Members of the Georgetown Assem-
oly will trip "a fantastic, but not too
fantastic, toe tonight. In other words,
dance will be held, but the much
talked OF and much danced dances OF
modern time are under a ban. Even
calling the turkey trot the lone STEP
mas failed to lift entirely the anathema
which elder members of the assembly
have laid upon IT.
Accordingly, tonight's hop is to start
on the theory that key-tretting will
not be Permitted. Previous assembly
dances started on the same theory, but
the insidious music soon set some OF
the younger dancers to Raging il, rag
ging II. Raging 1t. Discord for the first
time In the assembly's long and hon.
orable career entered, and further
dances were called of.
Tonight, it Is believed, these young
persons will behave better. At least,
II 10 hoped so by their elders.
Give Out Ultimatum.
Az for the youngsters themselves
say they:
IF the assembly is too slow, we'll go
down to the New willard and go rag
ging II, Raging 1t, Raging it, at the
good old Southern ball"
The private schools of Washington
adopt a varying attitude toward the
turkey trot and the horse trot, to say
nothing Of the tango and the rest of
them.
National Park Seminary, at Forest
Glen, had laid solemn interdict against
the turkey trot, and at the big Mardi
Gras. dance, a week from tomorrow
evening at the school, any one who tur-
key trots VIII be in danger of receiving
the attentions of the bouncer or what
ever his equivalent is at dear old Ma
tional Park
In some Of the smaller schools, on the
other hand, the girls are more or less
encouraged in dancing the new dances,
and maidens from seven to seventeen
may be found almost any afternoon in
the drawing rooms, one of their num-
Der sitting at the piano and the rest

Caught ,Em Trotting.
In one of the comparatively few
schools which bans the turkey trot, the
principal. who is reputed to be quite a
pious and proper person. suddenly came
on two OF his charges trotting together
In the hall.

principal In the solemn tones of a
shocked schoolmaster, You know we
allow nothing like that here
The girls fled back to the assembly
room. Soon came the principal and
stood by the desk of the older of the
two girls.

he could, what was the name of that

be possible to keep in copmunication
with Arlington for, even a greater dis
tance than that should 1t be attempted.
Those who designed the new Arlington
station did so with the idea In mind
that when operating at its highest eff

direct with London, Berlin, Paris. and
other European cities. and also that II
would be able to establish direct COM

Government is to erect on the Isthmus

the station will be able to. establish
