BIRDS EFFORTS TO DECEIVE
Pathetic Deception PraotIosd by Moth.
Or Of Brood In Her Attempt 70
Save Her Young.

It has been pointed out that the
military tactics which a commander
may employ to deceive the enemy are
practiced in a limited way by many
birds.
There is nothing more interesting in
the study Of bird life than the efforts
to deceive which many species put
forth to save their young or their nests
from the despoiler. They fiutter just
In front Of the trespasser to attract
his notice, and then they trail off with
a ''broken" wing dragging on the
ground, emitting cries Of distress.
The bobwhite Commonly called
quail) is a most notable tactician in
this kind of deception. This bird is
physically helpless in the face Of dan
ger, possessing no weapons. Its power
of swift flight for short distance is
great, but when there are little bob
whites to protect, the mother will not
leave them. The nest is always on the
ground, and the eggs are thus peculiar
ly open to the ravages of snakes and
other enemies.
There are sometimes score of eggs,
sharply pointed at one end and round
at the other, 80 that space In the nest
Is economized. The chicks quit their
birthplace before they are fairly out Of
the shell.
They inherit a knowledge Of the
family vernacular. and each little head
about the size of a pea, holds quick
perception and resolute will. II dan
ger threatens the brood, the mother
bird calls. The young all ''go dead"
Instantly; they drop down wherever
they chance to be at the moment.
man or boy might step on them;
they are almost invisible among the
dry leaves and grass. The mother bird
renders herself very conspicuous fiut-
tering with 'broken wing"
The mourning dove Is another timid
and helpless creature; she also tries
the broken wing ruse to divert dan
ger from her nest The dove acquired
the "broken wing habit" Of deception
while the tribe yet nested on the
ground. The habit persists, although
rather ludicrous when exercised on the
bough of a tree or on the top Of
rail fence.

the left side. Fur In two large orna-
ments finishes the narrow girdle with
long ends at the front With this
dressy suit sailor hat of silk beaver
looks particularly WELL
Tl,- suit at the left is quite differ
ent affair, much palmer and made of n
sturdier material. Bone buttons and
narrow braid are the very pratical en-
bellishments allowed to 1t and its lines
are simple and mnnnish. But it has
the high, coZy looking collar of fur
that is found in the company of all
sorts of suits and the narrow belt Of
the material. But this is extended only
across the front of the coat button
ing at the sides. Just by way of not
going to extremes in being plain and
practical, the belt is double, with no
particular reason for being so except
that it adds an attractive and uneX-
pected interest to this small item In
the suits makeup. The hat is tail
ored model. but not so plain rs a
banded sailor. Neither suit is afraid
of comparison, hOnors are about even
between them.

Clay Eaters.

The Agmara Indians. inhabiting tho
shores of Lake Titicaca and the lofty
plateau of the Andes. find the strug-
gle for existence hard at an altitude
of more than 1000 feet above the
sea level. Their principal articles OF
food are Quinoa, coarse grain re-
sembling rice. and potatoes, OF which
tuber their country is the original
home. The difficulty of boiling food
at 80 great an altitude necessitates
the previous maceration Of all articles
intended to be so cooked. The potato
is therefore prepared for storing and
use by exposing 1t to the frost; then
It Is placed in water and stamped
into a paste, all the soluble matter is
washed out and the starchy and far4.
naceous substance remains. This ia
called huno and 1t is made into nu-
tritious though insipid soup. The Ag'
maras use clay as an article Of food,
mixing II with qulnoa. The clay they
use is Of q whitish color and rather
gritty. Careful analysis shows that
It contains no organic matter.

Tailored suits'continue to come from
the hands of manufacturers in two dis
tinctly different types, with the buying
public showing preference for the
fanciful designs.
In the matter of decorations. fur is
widely but not lavishly used, and
carefully done silk embroidery is very
often used with it. Being of the same
character they look well together. At
the right of the two suits pictured
here there is fine example of the
combination of fur and embroidery in
a suit of wool velours. The skirt in
this model has two narrow plaits at
the side and is very long. The coat Is
very handsome affair, uneven in
length about the bottom and having
wide panels. shorter than the front
and back, set in. They are banded
with two narrow bands of dark fur.
Embroidery, in the same color as the
cloth, finds an advantageous position
at each side of the coat skirt The
body buttons little to the left of the
front with large. fiat cloth-covered but
tons, and there Is high collar Of the

According to sworn statements and

Rabbit skins In Demand.

There is q market for rabbit skins.
Before the war an enormous trade
was carried on abroad. It is said
that Great Britain and Ireland alone
produced about 80,OOO,OOO skins an
nually. Most rabbit skins are sold in
bales, by weight, the fur from them
being used for felting purposes, and
the skins for making glue. The war
interrupted the importations from Eu-
rope and Australia to such an extent
that the price has greatly Increased.
The better skins are sold by tho
dozen. When dressed they become
the "cony" of the fur trade. often sold
under fanciful names. American breed
ers are raising all kinds Of rabbits
that produce the best "cony" of the
fur shops.

The sumptuous ribbons which the
looms have turned out, more than
anything else have inspired the design
ers of dress accessories this season. II

most beautiful when not too lavishly
