Spring Fashion Notes

Many of the dresses now being
made up show the straight lines which
have such general acceptance with
adults, these styles being well adapt
ed for the little folks. Some of these
straight silhouette dresses have the
belt or sash, placed at the low waist
line. In others the waistiiue Is high,
and in few 1t is normal.
Among the most interesting of the
new small hats areithe so called Raiah
turbans, which are made of straw
with silk swirlea around the top in
tue East Indian fashion.
often the Oriental effect of these
hats Is greatly heightened by the use
of jeweled or beaded rabochons placed
in the center front.
The waists for spring are unusually
snappy in style and show wider

is especially true Of blouses to be worn

Snake Killing Birds

A number of birds throughout the
world are known to be enemies OF rep
tiles, and several varieties make reg
ular search for snakes and other creep
iEg things.
In South Africa is to be found the
champion snake killer of the bird
family. 1t is known as the secretary
bird.
The name seems an odd one but the
.ird received its name :lom crest Or
tuft of plumase rising from the back
ol its head, which reminds one OF
secretary or bookkeeper with bunch
IT quills stuck behind his ear.
The bird has ashen gray pIumage,
and its tail feathers are often Two leH.
in length. The male bird stands as
much as four feet in height, but a
great portion of this is neck and legs.
It's wings are long when outsireiched,
and it is strongly built and is adapted
Tor the peculiar work of destroying
large reptiles.
AS a rule it attacks smaller snakes
IT preference to the very powerful
ones, and in dong so uses every pre-
caution against contact with the pois-
)nous fanGs or strong coils. IL does nm
attack it's prey suddenly, but after
walking around the spot occupied by

blow on the head with its very hard
