Ills CONSCIENCE IN REVOLT
Killer of coHdors Refused to Practice
Profession for Any Paitry
Remuneration.

In his book, "In the Wflds of South
America" Mr.. Leo E. Miller tells US
that when he went into Argentina on
collecting trip he found an Italian
who claimed to be the champion con-
dor hunter of all South America. Dur
ing ten years he had killed more than
sixteen thousand of the magnificent
birds. His record for one day was
ia. Naturally. they had become
greatly reduced in number, for con-
dor lays no more than two eggs. and
it takes many months to rear the
young.
The mans method was to drive a
burro to some lonely gorge among the
bleak mountain tops favored by the
birds and then kill the animal. He
was very particular in stating that the
burro had to be fat-a poor one would
not do for bait He then spread nets
about the carcass, and when the con-
doris had gathered about to feast he
pulled rope and ensnared them. On
one occasion he shared 81 at one
throw of the net. The captured birds
were dispatched with a club and the
long-wing feathers extracted, to be ex-
ported to France to decorate women's
| hats.
! With his accumulated wealth he
built a powder mill, but it promptly
| blew up, and he was virtually penni-
| less. OF course there were condors
| in the mOuntains-in fact, he knew of
a ledge where more than eight hun
bred birds were accustomed to congre-
gate to spend the night; but the price
| Of feathers had gone down so per cent.
| He ended his speech in a very dra-
| matte manner.

ALL BOWED BEFORE PATTI
ably No Other Singer of Any
Generation Has Been.

The death Of Patti. the adored
diva Of our grandparents, would have
been a calamity if it had taken place
in their time. She was not only an
exquisite singer, but a woman unique
for beauty, charm and loneliness.
knew her well. And how interesting
1t was to hear her talk of her youth.
She vowed that she sang as the
birds sing, from babyhood. An ac-
quaintance tells NE that he was at
Ascot races on the day Of PATHS
debut. and came to hear her and
how, when, tiny, black-eyed and
sweet, she came onto the stage at
Covent Garden. not a hand was
raised to greet her. But she sang.
And then it was as if the house had
been of straw and had caught fire.
People went mad over her"
Later Patti went to st. Petersburg.
They strewed the stage with roses
and camelias for her to walk on,
and gave her diamonds and pearls
in caskets. I remember her showing
me a little Russian ring. 1t was a
stave of gold, and on it were the
notes in diamonds. Ia, do, re
'L'Adoree." A charming idea.
Not enough has been said of Pat

an old friend, and never neglected
one; even when poor William Gam

Please. Doctor, Make Us Pretty!
DR.. Seymour Oppenheimer Of New
York writes to the Medical Record ex
pressing the hope that the long strides
made in what Is called cosmetic" sur
gerry during the war may not be lost
to the civil population.
He says that this surgery for the
sole purpose Of identifying ugly per.
sons was always considered rather a
shady business" in which no reputable
surgeon would engage.
But there are so many ugly faces
and their identification would make
their owners happy. some surgeon the
richer by fee, and the world at large
happier for not being obliged to look
at ugliness. that this Is the suspicious
moment for taking cosmetic surgery

PETS BELOVED 81 SAINTS
Dr. Douglas Hyde, In Series Of Leo
lures, Deals Interestingly With
Medieval Irish Lore.

Dr.. Douglas Hyde recently delivered
a series of lectures-the Margaret
Stokes lectures-in the Alexandra col
leSe, Dublin, dealing with medieval
Irish lore. He told anecdotes about
the Irish saints and their love of birds
and beasts He traced the love of ami
mails hy people in different periods
and in different countries. Even the
Irish pagons had their pet animals,
says Our Dumb Animals.
He took the three Irish saints, st.
Patrick. ST. Brigid and st. Columcille,
and spoke of their affection for their
pet animals. St. Patrick's kindness to
the fawn was we'll authenticated, and
the fawn returned the love to his mas
ter.
ST. Brigid had her pet dog a most
faithful animal. She also loved birds,
and the birds, especially domestic
fowls, loved her in a remarkable man
ner.
The crane was St Columcille's pet,
although his love for dumb animals
surpassed that of the other saints. 1t
was recorded in the life Of the saint
that dumb animals, too, were in love
with him, especially birds, and that
some Of the latter followed him from
Ireland to the island of Iona. There
was, in proof of the love of animals
for the saint. the story of how the
horse wept on the bosom of the saint
the night before he died.
Dr. Hyde mentioned large number
of other saints. Irish and Latin, about
| whom he told stories. showing their
love for animals making special refer
ence to st. Kelvin. st. Comgall st.

friends of wolves, foxes. partridges and

ADDLED DRAINS

From the Chicago Tribune.
 - Reds at Columbus. O., put Q warning under the door of the American Legion Headquarters against celebration of Armistice Day. The warning addressed the legionnaires as war iovers.- II was a good example of the added brains of the Red. If there are any men who don't love war it is the men who have gone to war. The Reds who ap- piled the epithet were probably sAfe in this country earning war wages while the Legionnaires were st war or pre- pairing for war.
 The Red has mentality that works in phrases. He has about as much sense of resality--which is what we call common sense-as 8 dreamer. Wars. he thinks he believes are the results of plots by intuition makers. Soldiers Ire war lovers. Love of country is bunk preached by W-r makers, etc.
 Hs~ -.,uen Of popular thought and feeling in this country has been pois- oned by the radicaiism imported through immigration from countries where oppression and ignorance have endured for centuries? More than Americans realize and more than Amer ica ,->n afr d to t>'>rat.

WHERE GERMAN WATERS ARE

Arthur Mills in the Continental Edition
 of the London Mail
 People may be wondering what has happened to the German walters, who before the war were scattered In thou sands all over the earth Have they found other work to do now that their field of employment is restricted? Is there any likelihood of their disap- bearing as a class?
 A recent visit to Germany enables me to answer alphabetically in the negative.
 Never have I been In a country where walters were so numerous as in Ger many today. In hotels and restaurants they fall over. each other iR their ef- forts to reach one's table. One gets the irapr sssion that German walters have been gathered back to their father land from all the corners ofsthe earth.
 Seventy-five per cent of them speak English perfectly
 Partly pride in his linguistic ability, partly the hope of an ultimate tip makes the German waiter abroad most anxious to obige the Englishman. If encouraged to talk he expresses himself as full of regret for the good old days when he was an enIploye of an estab- lishment in EnGland-perhap ps in one of the big London restaurants. perhaps at a coast resort hotel

From the New York Times.
 TTJLETCHER OF SALTOUN said he IS1 'knew a very wise man that be- 1s lieved that if man were per- naitted to make all the ballads he need not care who should make the laws of a nation"
 In these later days, when the amuse- ments of a nation cost so much and the artists who charm or entertain or ex- hilarate us enjoy incomes that profes- sional men and. lawmakers and great ad- ministrstors cannot aspire to- there is a temptation to give a sordid application to Fletcher's moral observation. Caruso sir gs for fortune every winter, and when he makes his bow in 8 bull ring in the City of Mexico, after rendering a celebrated aria, it is only a Spanish mata- dor who can vie with him in earning ca- pscity, John Mccormack is at his best as ballad singer, and he has been known to buy the gem of picture gallery for more than xD9,oM.

Small Amount Asked
 For a Great Cause

auEN one recalls the excellent wv work done by the Boy Scouts and the Bows club, request for s25,- 900. with which to carry on the '"o movements during 1921, seems paltry'
 This amount of money will De sonoht by the Birmingham Boys Work committee during the week be- o,nning today. It should be forthcom- ing the first day.
 Every time we have public cele- bration, every time we set out to raise finds for worthy causes, every time VIC want something done by quick arms. sturdy legs and willing hearts, we call on the Boy Scouts, and It IS done. When there are great as- semblages, instead of adding to the confusion tits the boys who serve ma teriaIly in maintaining order.
 The Boys club is for the little workers of the comm munity, for the brave little lads who are playing the part of men before their time. The Boy's~ club is to them what fathers and mothers are to other boys. It saves children and makes men of those who would otherwise be derelicts on the sea of society.
 The $25,000 is nothing for rich and generous Birmingham.

From the Washington Post 6TdHE refusal of N Leo Daudet the fire-eating editor of the royaIist
 Action FTancaiee, to fight duel with one of his colleagues in the French chamber win probably do more to put an end to this custom than the bill for the abolition of the duel recently laid before the French Parliament. The in- troduction of such measure was only Ia fresh proof how certain institutions die hard. It also seems a superfluous one in view of the fact that the duel has been illegal in France for many years, though in practice it is tolerated. No prosecution is ever uundertaken unless (aS happens in rare instances) the en- counter has a fatal ending. Even in such cases, if the evidence shows that the duel was a loyal one, the penalty is merely nominal.
 That the duel as a criminal offense is winked at in, France is notorious. During Paul Derolede's exile in Spain. after his sentence to banishmert for his attempt to overthrow the republic during the Drey- fus affair, he was given 8 special safe conduct by the French government to en- ter French territory to fight duel with the late Jean Jaures, the famous social ist leader, Dreyfus' great champion. At least thousand spectators witnessed the encounter, which ended bloodlessly, four shots being exchanged without result In 1889 N Floauet, then prime minister, fought duel with General Boulanger.

Japan and America Have
 No Reason to Quarrel

m GLAND S. MORRIS, American IN ambassador to Japan, says war between the United State sand Japan is simply unthinkable,' quoting words recently used by the Japanese premier. Mir. Morris regrets the "ill- considered statements which, from time to time, find expression in both countries as to the suggestion of war ? There are jingoes in Japan as well as in America. If they had any influ- ence on either government, there
 might be war between the two coun- tries, but fortunately their foolish talk is but little regarded.
 Ambassador Morris believes, as
 most Americans do, that whatever diff ferences may exist between America
 and Japan, they will be adjusted in a spirit of friendly cooperation and
 mutual respect. No distrust or mis-
 understanding should be permitted to
 jeopardize friendship that has lasted
 for many years unbroken.
 It was an American admiral who first brought Japan in touch with
 western civilization. The Japanese
 have never forgotten the debt of grat- itude they feel toward the American
 people, from whom they derived con-
 siderable part of their modern civiliza- tion.
 Thus far the two governments have
