"The importation of all wild bird
plumage into the United States is
forbidden" said Collector Elliott.
"The aigrettes are smuggled across
the border by the Cocopah Indians,
who kill the female herons on the
delta of the lower Colorado river.
While the female bird is nesting they
approach the nest and hit her on the
head. Some people claim that with
the mother bird dead the young in the
nest die. Others claim, however, that
the male bird takes up the work Of
feeding until the young are ready to

SLIM COPS NEEDED
IN FRISCO SECTION

San Francisco, Feb. 14.-It takes
slim "cops" to handle the Chinatown
beat, explained Chief of Police White
today, in transferring Patrolmen Fred
Kacke, Earl Moore and John Crofton
to other beats. The physiques of
Kacke, Moore and Crofton conform
more readily to boulevards and ave-
nues than to the secret passages, mar
row doorways and windows, and small
cellars of Chinatown.
The Chinatown squad has been re-
duced about $50 pounds by the trans
fer of these officers. Their places
were taken by Patrolmen William
Mcclure, James Miles and Herman
Hextrum. This trio are built more
after the fashion of a toothpick.

Los ANGELES IS
PREPARING
- DEFENSE
(By United PreSS)

Los Angeles, Feb. 14.-A plan for
permanent preparedness will be out
lined at meeting of business men

cities of the Pacific Coast, in an en-
deavor to have it adopted as coast
wide scheme.

time Of peace it is proposed that these
men would be used by the government
in reclamation and harbor improve
ment work, paying them regular wa
ge8.
A committee of public safety would
be organized in Los Angeles to as
sumo control of affairs in an emer-
gency. The plan also contemplates
the establishment Of military
school.
Just how all these results will be
obtained has not been revealed. A
committee of 100 is supposed to be
working cut the scheme quietly. They
may reveal lot of details tonight.

PAUPERS DISAPPEARING
FROM ENGLAND
(By United Press

London, Jan. % (By mail iD-Despite
exceedingly high prices Of necessities,
the number Of paupers in England has
steadily decreased since the war be-
gan. Social workers have collected
evidence of the condition of the great
mass of the people under war condi
tions. 1t all goes to prove that in
the lowest social strata destitution is
gradually disappearing. Children re-
curing free school meals are the ex-
ception now. The Central Body Of
Unemployed has sold all the clothing
on hand because there were not
enough poor people to give it to.
The betterment found among those
who in pre-war times made up the
pauper class doesn't mean that dis
tress has disappeared. 1t is still
found, but mostly in homes of women
who drink.

pleased me very much and fiattered me little, guess.
 My headquarters were the kitchen, where I was rated as one of the cooks and did my share. Here they called me Silent Joe" because I talked so little afraid my voice would betray me. Glad that they gave me this reputation, I was ready to live up to it.
 Fools Husband.
 One day l was folding up my blan- ket when saw my husband coming down between the tiers of hunks.
 What are you doing there, rookie" he demanded. Don't you know there Is drill on deckT
 My back had been half turned toward him. swung around and tore off my hat. My hair had been clipped short, but he recognized me and laughed The joke was on him.
 You fooled me, klddIe," he said You'd better go up to drill" But the best could do was to help myself to a good cry on his chest. There was no one who could see us. He was gentle with me as always, and ! was happy. had needed that cry a long time. I think he was a little proud, too, to know his wife would risk 80 much and follow him so far just to be near him. l enjoyed that moment. I didn't care if all the officers on board saw me, but none did.
 It was easy for me to go through the simple drills on shlpbOard, for I was familiar enough with the army to show up a lot of the rockies at it. Some of the men who did not know I was aboard were curious about my shaving.
 "WheG do you get out your razor" youngster asked me one day.
 q don't have to use 1t except once a week." answered. "I'm kid yet. You go to it every day to look manly"
 Once did try to shave to play my part.

manned by damStGdrs. One TJughboy who had recently returned from sery- ice in Hawaii had brought a ukelele along, and he went big, for the boys liked those dreamy tunes.
 It is strange thing about soldier that he does not sing the stuff written for him, but prefers the tear jerkers and sentimental ballads The soldier songs in France will be about back home and not about beating the boches.
 Yet these boys were going to the trenches and that hell with a smile and q song. If any reformer kicks on that crap game he ought to go himself. The men are gambling their lives. Why not their money?

Original Meaning of "Garble.h

The word "garble" originally meant ito select for u purpose" There used to be an officer called the garbler of spices," and 1t was hls duty to visit the stores, examine the spices and order those that did not come up to standard to be destroyed. Ill this way the gar bled goods were those which had been sifted of all impurities. So "garbled" report is one that is sifted down and bereft of some of its original contents. Nowadays anything 'garbIed" is mis- leading and chopped up so as to give wrong impression.-Londou Opinion.

Disappointed Through Failure to

However, these optimists were doom- ed to disappointment, for our ship did not see q German pOrpolSe" the whole voyage, nor did we hear a gun fired.
 Since returning to the United States I have heard of the attack on some or the ships of the transport fleet, but It was not on the part of it we were with. It would have been impossible for us to have been attacked and not to have known of 1t. As I say, lots of the boys were disappointed because they could not write home to the folks about the Earrow escape from the subs, and the dOughbOys are great letter writers. Perhaps some of them did, anyway, so as to let those at home know they weren't missing anything.
 By this time I felt almost like sol dier and had learned to smoke "tauor made' cigarettes, although l had tried 1t only once before this trip as an eI- pertinent when was at school and had abandoned 1t after a couple Of puns.

Alarm Interrupts Talk.

He finally agreed he would not re port me until just before we arrived, if I got away with it that long, but he insisted he must do 1t then. However, we agreed to see each other the next night tO have another talk, and ] thought, with the whole Atlantic be- tween us and France, could persuade him in the meantime. Just as I was getting ready to go back the submarine alarm sounded which broke all the boys out of their hunks. seaSick as most Of them were
 ran back to my place just in time to hear the rookie quartered over me arguing with the sergeant.
 "Get up out of there" shouted the mon com" That's the U boat alarm" Y"
 "I don't care whether we sink or not" answered the poor boy. "I hope she does. Don't bother me"
 The sergeant routed out the rookie without much ceremony, and l follow ed along to q place assigned to me on a life raft, putting on my fife belt as went. All the men had orders to don their life prrserverS first and then go in an orderly manner to their places, Already there had been two or three drills in the daytime, and the disci- plined man soon catches on. When reached the deck there was no confusion and no excitement In the pitch black darkness. The men were proceeding quietly to their places, fas- tening on their life belts. although most of them had been wukened out of snor' Ing sleeps. and l was proud of the be- havior of the soldiers Uncle Sam was sending to the trenches.
 If all our boys who are going to France obey instructions as well as l that shipload did there will be no eX- cuse for the loss of a life. It all moved like clOckwork. No one lost his head.
