Many an ostrich feather will emerge
from long retirement this spring.
Tickle fashion has come back to them
after having banished them for sew
eral seasons. They respond to fresh
ening and cleaning processes very well,
and when light plumes cannot be sue
cessfully renovated they may be dyed
to black or dark colors.
Sometimes one would like to change
a light colored plume to another color.

Ostrich feathers are recurled with
a curling knife or with a curling iron.
A table knife will answer for this
work. When the feather has been
cleaned and dried a few fiues at a
time are drawn over the knife edge,
until all have been given a little curl.
A rather large-sized, moderately warm
curling iron may be used for this work,

Municipal Forests Needed.
Acute need for fuel In emergencies
furnishes one of the strongest argu-
ments for cities or towns maintaining
municipal forests In available wooded
districts. These emergencies may be
expected periodically. and municipal
forests serving as parks and pleasure
grounds or as protection to water sup
plies can come into play as fuel re-
serves in time Of stress when coal can
not be obtained in sufficient quantities.
The foresters recommend the point to
the thoughtful consideration Of every
community which has suitable adj
jacent woodland.
Some towns already own such tracts.
and eventually many of these forests
are expected TO be In the older set
tied sections of the country when II Ia

how advantageous they are In many
respects. Instead Of being sources Of
expense. well-managed woodlands
should quickly become sources OF con-
