StarlinQS.

A certain Boston bird student re-
ports having seen flock of starlings
in his own city, settled on some thick
bushes from which they were busily
picking the red berries. Boys and girls
of the British isles know these birds
well, but they are not SO common In
the United States. Not long ago they
we're introduced into New York state
and into Connecticut, and from the
birds having been noticed In Boston 1t
would seem that they will likely spread
to other parts Of the country. Star
lings have dark plumage of green
and purple, spotted over with buff or
white.

WAR Be COMES ACTIVE
ALL ALONG THE LINE

Washington, Aug. 9.-Tangible
results from the investigation of
boarding and profiteering initiated
by Attorney General Palmer are
expected to develop in the immedi-
ate future, as the result of an order
today directing the entire secret
service of the bureau of investiga.
tioa to assist the forces now at work
trying to uncover instances in which
the public has been Eouged by the
illegal control of prices.
Officials of the department of
justice said reports from many sec.
tions of the country showed the
search for evidence of extortion in
the necessities of life was proceed
ing vigorously, and it was indicated
that many prosecutions might come
very soon,

day that congress would proceed
promptly with legislative measures

sary to stop the vicious practices"
which have been largely responsi-
BILE for the rising cost of living.

In the house that appropriations
would be made at once to enable the
government departments to attack
the problem, and Chairman Haugen
announced that the agriculture com
hnpi, nj
day on legislation to control the
time foods could be held in cold
storage.
The senate interstate commerce
committee discussed suggestions of
the president that interstate ship
ments of necessities be controlled
by licensing commission, and
Chairman Cummins announced that
he would appoint a subcommittee
Monday to recommend such legisla
ton as it should decide was neces
sary.
There were. indications at the
White House that President Wilson
might let the high cost of living
pair with the League of Nations
speaking tour of the county which
he is soon to make. The president
has been devoting virtually all of
his time recently to the economic
situation and has come to believe
that the Importance of the question
demands discussion equally with the
big international problem, to ex-
nlain which was the Drime purpose
of the tour when first planned.

Attorney General Freezing, plainly,
was in favor of special session of the
legislature, for the purpose OF enacting
a stringent anti-profiteering law de-
signed to furnish sufficient power to
handle the situation effecutally." He
recommended also a stringent law regu-

! bated.

mitted to the committee. He explained
that his measure was merely the basis
for committee deliberations.
After concluding his address on the
presidents recommendations Mr.. Mon
dell suggested that the house adjourn
until Tuesday, because of n lack of
imperative business" This led to a pro-
test from the democrats after former
Speaker Clark had announced that
every democratic member would be no
titled to return to Washington as quick
ly as possible.
Were stuck here without a possible
vaca tion, until fall" Mr.. Clark said.
"and I think we should continue with
business
