DARWIN WAS RIGHT

to bobbed hair, coveralls in the or
chards, knickers in the auto camps,
female delegates to political con-
ventions and the Lucy Stone Lea

of shock to learn that the feminist
movement has extended to the feath-
cred tribe. L. T. Brooks, of the
In-B- Tween neighborhood, says he
found his turkey gobbler the other
day setting on nest of eggs. The
old fellow has shed his breast
feathers, his comb and wattles have
taken on pink instead of the usu-

his appearance is entirely in keep
