he cdn see to q considerable depth In
the water, and as he skins along over
the surface Of the deep he picks out
the fat fish he wants. Quick as light
ming he plunges down, extends his
claws and In the next instant rises with
the wriggllng prey In his talons. After
taking O firmer hold on his victim he
ascends by a spiral flight into the
heavens. The eagle has been watch
Ing from tall tree or crag and, as the
fish hawk rises the eagle also darts Into
the sky above him. This Is notice for
all the fish hawks enemies among the
feathered tribe to retreat.
Just as the fish hawk gets to point
on plane that Is level with that Of the
eagle he relaxes his grip on the fish
and It begins to fall. It is then the
eagles time for quick action. Like a
shot from a rapld-fire gun he dives and
In a second or two has the fish In his
claws.
This aerial "throw and catch" game
between the two great birds goes on
continually over the broad waters Of
the Potomac, much to the ediacation
Of the onlookers. OF course, there
must be times when the eagle falls to
catch the fish as he swoops down
through the air after It, but II cannot
be proved by anyone who has wit
messed this particular aerial feat on
the part Of the bird Of freedom" No
body seems to have ever seen the
eagle miss, and nobody seems to have
ever known the fish hawk fall TO catch
a fish when he Owed for II.
As the fish hawk rises In the air
oftentlmes, especially on sunny day,
the sheen Of the fish can be seen like
piece OF silver In his claws, and some
times the SILVER" can be seen wrig-

This Is the Time For

Weeds are a tar on agriculture.

eral health but Just how much weeds hamper
human efficiency has not been reduced 10 dol

The professional hay feverite who loses his
two or three weeks regularly every summer Is
not the only victim Of the weed.
Summer colds, rose fever and similar catar-
rhal Affections may limit mans capacity Tor
effective work for weeks, yet they are caused
by nothing seemingly more important than
pleasant breeze.
The danger comes when that chance wind
blows over somebody's weed crop.
movement tending toward the destruction OF
all hay fever weeds has been launched in many
states and II will serve double purpose. for IL
happens that the farmer and the hay fever vic
tim blacklist the same weeds.
The flowers OF the condemned plants are in
conspicuous and without attractive odor.
But they produce great quantities Of light
pollen which nature, TO suit her own purposes
Of fertilization, has shaped to be carried on the
wind.
This fine dust places the rag weed. the yellow
dock, the careless weed. the cookie bur and GER
tain grasses among the plant pests Recently.
the president Of the national hay fever associa-
ton has pointed out the common daisy feabane
as one Of those plants which. like flies should
be destroyed on sight.
Weeds advertise themselyes-and the land
owners.
Pretty soon the man who fails to keep down
the weeds on his property will be regarded with
decided disfavor by the energetic members OF his
community.
New Orleans has already passed the first or
dinance ever enacted for the benefit OF hay fever
sufferers. Among those punishable under IL are
owners, tenants and occupiers OF premises and
firms and corporations having privileges in the

be noted, anticipated the Declaration of

And under the heading Suburban

Then, again, there was the fact that
Detroit won ball game for a reason for
celebrating.
Judge L. Burget Des Voignes, OF
Cassopolis, who has been doing relief duty
on the Wayne county bench, has returned
to his own circuit-and probably without
having had his name spelled or pronounc-

Had it gone out?
Believing that he was being kept in
