the Poor Ostrich
Falls From The Elite

Even the innocent ostrich has
been effected by the war. Plumes
used to sell at from $40 to $25
apiece. With the declaration of war,
however, society demanded econo-
my. AS a result the demand for
the ostrich feathers decreased SO per
cent and the cost likewise. The best
ostrich feathers can be had now as
low as So each. These facts were
revealed by William l.. Fisher, as
sistant curator of the Philadelphia
Museums, in a lecture on Arizona
and the Grand Canyon" held in the
Commercial Museums yesterday af-
ternoon.
In colored views and motion pic
lures Mr.. Fisher presented the
depths of the Grand Canyon md its
surrounding scenery, particularly the
pointed rocks overhanging its brink.
He reviewed also the cotton fields,
fruit orchards and grain fields,
mines and irrigation projects, of
which the people of Arizona are
justly proud. Arizona, he says, is
the home of the ostrich.
