WHY BIRDS LOSE FEATHERS
Moultina 10 Similar TO That Which
Takes Place in Other Forms
Of Animal Life.

Feathers become worn, torn and
broken, and must be replaced. Tht
moulting OF birds is similar to what
takes place in other forms Of animal
life. Horses grow long coats Of hair in
winter which they shed in summer.
Dogs cast their coats. Snakes cast
their skins. crabs and other shcil fisb
cast their shells.
II crab lived always in one she'll
his body could never grow any bigger.
At certain time in tho year his flesh
becomes very watery, so ha can draw
his great claws through the narrow
opening at the top Of the shells iu
which they nrc enclosed, and he comes
out OF his shell almost as soft and
PUPPY as an egg in its skin when tie
shell is removed.
Birds are never left bare like this.
They moult gradually. Some are so
completely robbed OF their strong
feathers that they are glad to 60 into
hiding until the new ones grow. They
are then as defenseiess IS is the stag
which has shed its mighty antlers.

Victory for Total Abstinence
Is Won by Vote of
321 to IL

"drys" in the House of Repre-

tai abstinence legislation ever enacted.
The vote was overwhelming g-32l to ".
The provision has already passed the
Senate. and so is practically sure to

The result Of to-day's action will be

The amendment provides that there
may be no shipments of intoxicating
liquors to states which have passed
laws prohibiting the manufacture and
sale" of Intoxicating liquors. States
which permit the manufacture, but not
the sale. are not affected.
II is the most radical legislation, law
yers say. that Congress ever has at
tempted as affecting the states.
Both the vets and the drys think
they have put something across OF
the other. The vets. in supporting the
LEGISLATION. claim it will have the effect
of checking the prohibition wave in the
United States. declaring no more states

such action means no liquor can be had

other hand. declare the bone dry law

Neutral observers evinced the great
est interest in the latest tactics of the
vets. A New York member expressed
it in his homely fashion: Maybe they
are biting of more than they can
chew" The vets, in his opinion, may
find out to their sorrow that they have
only greatly increased the bone dry"
territory.
A thrill Of fear swept through Off
cial Washington, including both
houses of Congress, when it was de-
clared that as soon as the Sheppard

Amsterdam, Feb. 2l.-The Cologne

ment in which the British press has
been indulging at the instigation Of its

10 give definite figures" he said. "The
figures of the tonnage sunk recently
published in the Berlin newspapers are
also in no wise correct.
Although a number of submarines
have not yet returned to their bases,
the results achieved have surpassed the
expectations entertained by the navy. 1t
is very satisfactory that there is no rea-
son to reckon with the loss of even one
U-boat since the beginning of the un-
restricted submarine war the defen-
siye measures, about which such fuss
has been made by the British press
and Parliament, have remained within
normal limits, according 20 the reports
Of the U-boats which have returned.
There is practically no shipping in
the North Sea. Neutral shipping is
clearly as good as stopped. Altogether
we can look forward with greater con-
fidence TO the further development of
the submarine war. The expectations
attached thereto by the German people
have been fully justified By the results
thus far"
