Ger1nanys willingness to go back to ten or

arrears of work supports the argument, often
advanced, that the short day is the result and
reward of hard working rather than Of hard

BIRDS OF A FEATHER.

If * interesting TO note what fashions decree
can do to stimulate business. Imports of os-
trich feathers doubled last year over records
for previous years and amounted to two and
half million dollars Moreover, this increase IN
imported feathers comes ia addition to the
growth of ostrich farming as a home industry;
we have more than ten thousand birds on farms
in our southwestern states and these have great
~ increased In value. al sc
There is one count for the ostrich plume as
an adornnent; it can be secured and used with
out harning the bird from which it is taken.
From statistics furnished by the ostrich farm
ing industry OF South Africa from which the
great bulk OF the pIumes comes it is learned
that the average life Of the ostrich is more than
thirty years and that some birds are alive and
hearty at fifty years American ostrich farmers
have had a hard time of it In getting stock; the
South Africa ostrich men did all they could to
prevent the export Of stock and eggs. But this
country Australia and Argentina have promis-
ing starts made to ostrich farming large
scale The National City Bank Of New York
in it's trade bulletin estimates the ostrich feath-
err exports of South Africa at twenty million
dollars per annuIn, evidence that profitable
industry has found Judgement in this country.
Word comes from New York City that if the

ADOPTED 1886
Republican Leader Lodge Char
acterizes Senate Action as
One of Hypocrisy.
OTHER RESERVATIONS DIE

tion Expected Late Today
With Failure Predicted.

Washington, Mar. 18.-In new re-
servation to the peace treaty, proposed
by Senator Gerry, Democrat of Rhode
Island, and adopted this afternoon 3S
to 36 the senate reaffirmed its sym
pathy for the aspirations of the Irish
and expressed the hope that the time
is at hand when Ireland will have a
government OF her own choosing.
Harris of Georgia, voted for it;
Smith of Georgia, against it; Fletcher
and Trammell of Florida, and Williams
of Mississippi, voted against the Gerry
reservation; Harrison of Mississippi,
for it. In all 81 Democrats and II
Republicans voted for it, is Democrats
and 20 Republicans, against it.
The first vote on the Irish reserva-
tion was in a committee of the whole
and latter it was confirmed 45 to SO.
During the debate. Democratic leaders
supported it, and Republican leaders
opposed it because it contained a gem
era1 declaration that the United States
adhered to the principle of the self
determination of peoples.
Republican Leader Lodge said: 'It
is to my mind hypocritical to have
such a declaration come from a coun-
try which had fought for four years
TO prevent self determination, and we
should fight again il one of the states
attempted to leave the union. / do
not think we should go before the
world with a declaration of such a
policy"
After the Irish reservation was fin
ely approved simmons, Democrat of
North Carolina, tried to change the
article ten reservation but his substi-
tute was voted down.
Resuming consideration of pending
reservations to the peace treaty, the
senate soon after meeting today re-
jected As to 27 a reservation presented
by Senator Reed, Democrat, Missouri,
which would reserve to the United
States for decision questions affecting
its national honor or its vital inter
ests.
The senate then defeated another
reservation by Senator Reed providing
that the United States would refuse
to assume any obligation to employ
its military or naval forces, its re-
sources or any form of economic dis
elimination under any article of the
league covenant
One after another miscellaneous re-
servations were voted down and an
attempt will be made to vote on ratifi-
cation tomorrow, with all sides pre-
dieting failure to ratify.
The senate adjourned after an at
tempt to obtain unanimous consent
TO vote on ratification tomorrow was
blocked by Lenroot, Republican of Wis
ccnsin. Most leaders predicted final
vote late tomorrow night.
