The color of the Rouen duck Is almost
Identical with that of the Wild Mallard
the chief difference being found in the fe-
male, where the color and markings have
been brought to higher degree of per-
lection than In the wild duck.
In the male the bill is greenish-yellow,
the head and neck rich iridescent
beetle green. while the breast is a beau
tiful claret color, which extends down
well beneath the curve of the breast
The neck and breast colors are divided
by narrow ring of white.
The center of the back is Of grayish
shade and bordered on both sides by a
rich, lustrious green. The wings are

Instrument

Other figures taken from the office of
the health department showed that. there
were S35 unlawful deaths In the fiscal
year between October 1. 1912. and Septem-
her 80, 1913 of which 40 were of white
people. The figures of the fiscal year
of 1912, beginning October /, 1911, and end
ing September 30, 1912, showed only 27o
violent and unlawful deaths of which lis
were OF white people which shows that
the fiscal year Of 1918 has an increase
of IS unlawful deaths over 1912.
These figures are being gathered by
DR.. Charles Whelan. who is an ardent
student OF criminology as the basis of a
magazine article that the surgeon is at
present working on dealing with the
crime and homicidal mania that has pre-
vailed In Birmingham In the past and
at the present
1t Is interesting to anaiyze the figures
given out by the health department as
105 murders so far in 800 days, or IS weeks
gives an average about II homicides a
month in the city of Birmingham alone.
At this rate the grand total at the end
of the year should show about 1872 kill
ings. o..
The figures also show that 70 of the
killings were by firearms or the deadly
pistol and that the other IS were from
knifes and other means such clubs or
sandbags, practically prove that in the
city limits two-thrds of the killing come
from the carrying of pistols.
OF course it is understood that these fig
ures are only the statistics of the killings
within the city limits of Birmingham and
have nothing to do with the county fig
ures OF homicides. The statistics for the
county's share of depopulating this dis
trict could not be gathered yesterday as
Coroner c. l.. Spain was extremely busy
trying several of the homicide cases. The
last compilation showed about 5l7 violent
deaths far this year. Coroner C. L.
Spain has investigated everyone of them
and incidently paid Jefferson county for
the privilege, according to his statement.

French Duck Combining Beauty and Utility Qualities

Copyright, 1918, by Geo. A. McDevitt Co.
The Rouen Duck, sometimes known as
Rhone Duck. was first bred In Rouen.
France. and without doubt was produced
BY demonstrating the wild Mallard. 1t
was later taken to England, where, by
careful breeding, 1t was brought to it's
present great size and beauty OF mark
Ing. 1t is very large duck, the stand
ard weight of the drake being nine
pounds and that of the duck eight
pounds. They frequently exceed these
weights. Rouens have full, deep-set
bodies and impress one with their great
length.
They are short-legged and their car
rage is almost horizontal So deep are
these ducks and so full bodied that tho
abdomen In some specimens drags upon
the ground. This. however, is a charac-
teristic that should be discouraged.

The tail is dark brown. edged with

green. The shanks are orange. The
whole color scheme presents an appear
ance Of Undesirable beauty and rich
ness.
In the female the bill and legs are q
rich orange The head and neck are
brown, with slight markings of darker
brown. and the body plumage is a rich,
dark brown, penciled with a lighter
shade. The wings are a light brown,
penciled with rich, greenish brown, the
wing oar being the same as in the male.
The markings should be distinct and

ANOTHER ENDOWMENT

Mrs. E. H. Hartman, widow of
the late railroad magnate, has just
given an additional endowment of
$4,000 to the fund of $4,000 she
established in 1911 for the founda-
ton of archaeological and patho-
logical research laboratory, in con-
nection with the hospital service of
the Southern Pacific company. This
announcement was made bv DR.. F.
X. Ainsworth. chief surgeon of the
railroad. whose hands the disposi-
ton of the funds is placed.
The purpose of the endowment is
to further the progress of medical
research. For the last two years,
the work has been going on under
the direction of DIR. w. I. Cummings
of the Southern Pacific general
hospital at San Francisco. DR..
Cummings has devoted his time to
a study of serums with special rela-
tion to typhoid fever and tuberculosis,
and has contributed some valuable
data to the existing
store of scientific knowledge.
The fund is placed in the hands of
the Union Trust company of San
Francisco, the income being turned
over to the hospital department as
it accrues.
This is the second large contribu-
ton to the Southern Pacific hospital

tion as yet. All that has been asked
is the intention of the American
government. That there may come
later demand from Europe that
America shall intervene to compel
peace in Mexico, seems possibility.
That can be with or without the
Washington government giving rec
ognition to the Huerta government.
In the event of continuance of the
devastation that has taken place in
Mexico through three years, it is
likely that those nations having
great investments there will Use
patience and demand that the United
States restore order, or withdraw
from its attitude as protector of the
Latin-American republics from Euro :
pean aggression. That would mean
intervention if the United States ac-
ceded TO such demand, If it de-
clined, the next step would be inter
vention by one or more of the Eu-
ropean powers jointly. When it
reached that point the United States
would be put in decided dilemma.
1t would be obliged to abandon the
Monroe doctrine and see Europe re-
store peace in Mexico, with a conse-
quent elimination of what little pres
tige and respect the American gov
ernment has retained in that unfor-
tunate land; or take up arms against
Europe to protect Mexico in the con-
tinuation of the internicine strife
now affecting that unfortunate coun-
try.
Without doubt the great powers
making the modest request now
noted have taken thought of all
these matters, and are prepared to
follow up their present request with
demands and action that will put
the government of the United States
into a position where it must fish
or cut bait"
