Birds Color Changed
by Feeding Methods

The food bird eats can modify the
colors Of the plumage. Canaries, for
instance, can be changed from their
usual clear pale yellow to rich orange
hue by mixing with their food sweet
cayenne and the husks of capsicum.
Pigeons, too, can be similarly altered
Some years ago the Austrian scientist,
Doctor Sauermen, kept pigeons which
he fed upon foods mixed with harm
less aniline dyes. By use of one dye
he obtained pigeons Of beautiful red,
and with another dye he got others of
a rich blue. The African touracOu has
crimson feathers, but it's color is not
fast" and if the bird is exposed to
heavy rain it fades to a sort of pink.
BY sleeping the quill feathers of the
touracOu in boiling water beautiful
dye can be obtained. The birds Sec
Ond color, green, is quite permanent.
Some humming birds can only be de-
scribed as living jewels, but the most

FORMIDABLE

James NJ. Whistler, the artist, who
was noted for his peculiarities, on one
occasion was walking about an art
gallery, gazing with eyeglass in &C.
ton at the pictures; Another artist,
who knew him slightly, was sitting in
the center of the room when friend
approached him and begged an intro
duction to Whistler. Feeling very
proud to be able to grant his friends
request, he rose and approached the
American.
"Oh, Mr.. Whistler" he said a little
nervously, excuse me, this is my
friend, Mr.. B."
Whistler halted in his slow march
around the room, and then looking
back over his shoulder and casting a
rapid glance at B., he replied, "Oh, in
deed; well, it doesn't matter"

Hoarding Not Thrift

There are people who enjoy saving
money for no other reason than the
pleasure of saving money. 1t is a
passion like drink, and a hobby like
collecting china. This is the old
fashioned view of thrift. Such saw
ing is at best no more than a defense
against life's uncertainties, but it
provides nothing for a richer and
more fruitful living that money wise
ly saved and wisely spent can give.
Mere boarding Is not enough. 1t is as
unproductive as reckless spending
Between the two extremes lives the
course that is profitable to the in
dividual and the state equally. Every
act Of spending encourages some form
Of human activity.-Glasgow Herald.

laundry, said in an interview with
an Echo reporter late Thursday aft
ernoon, Jenkins was hired to sort
and weigh bundles, and in the per-
formance of those duties, he was not
capable; his bundles had to be re-
weighed, and his work gone over by
other employees. For that reason he
was discharged
Referring to the peculiar circum-
stances of the dismissal, Mr.. Pates
stated that in a large establishment,
there is not always time to give in
dividuals explanations when they are
released from employment. Shortly
afterward, Mr.. Pates admitted that
he himself had paid and dismissed
Jenkins!
AS regards his personal attitude
toward Negroes, Mr.. Pates said that
he had always been favorably in
clined toward colored people and
that his firm had advertised in col
ored papers. He admitted also that
the laundry had large colored pat
ronage.
In the matter of employment, Mr..
Pates further stated that he would
not hesitate to have a colored en-
ploye providing such a person were
capable of performing the work as
signed to him. At the present time,
however, there are no colored work
ers in the laundry.

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES

Charged in a federal warrant with
robbery of the United States Mail,
William w. White, a detective of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company was
arraigned before U: S. Commissioner
c. T. Hearn, and bond fixed at $4,000
for Whites appearance for trial.
The charge was presented by J. E.
Seminar, Postal inspector who has
spent the past week in investigating
the robbery, which was reported by
employees at Union Station on Sep
TENDER II. Thespecific charge is the
thft of an automobile tire, which
was enroute in the parcel post from
Philadelphia Preston, and transfer
red at Union Station.
White charges that the warrant is
the result of a "frame up'' of en-
ployees Union Station who dislike
him, he says. He admits taking a
tire from the basement of the sta
ton and passing it out through the
coal shute. He asserts, however,
that it was an old tire that has lain
III the basement for sometime The
tire was recovered in Crisfeld.

One-Piece Frocks
May Win Approval
Two-Piece Mode in Many
Variations-Black Eve
ming Gowns.

On ftful summer days, when wom-
ankind is looking her loveliest In
sheer organizes, cool white crepes
and f1uttering printed chiffons, the
master minds of fashion are deep in
the merchandising problems of launch
ing and selling fabrics, furs and
styles. They are, indeed, taking a
thought for tomorrow and, moreover,
trying to think your thoughts, dear
lady. Will you again favor the two
piece frock? They think so. Will you
take kindly to MORE? They hope so.
Will velvets be the rage in dresses in
all colors? They pray that will come
to pass or they have lost money.
So it goes, dear lady, while you are
at the beach in your horizontal
striped beach coat or cretonne coat,
or in plaid taffeta bathing suit with
its little boomers banded in plain
color, or dancing in fiuttering chif-
fon, or playing golf i'm a Chanel
sweater and plated skirt, remember
the eyes of the fashion makers are
upon you, trying to 'fathOm you. Yes,
trying to fathom your buying power
on the new colors and your taste
on skirt lengths and desires on serge
and kasha.
Hints Of autumn modes are in the
air, but one cannot safely predict
what the mode will be until it is seen
how women of the smart world react
to the new fashions. Today fashions
do not change quickly or decisively.
Instead there Is rather gradual
evolution. of the mode, and often it
takes a very practiced eye to distin-
guish the differences in silhouette and
detail that distinguish model Of the
new season from one Of the last.
1t is said that one-piece frocks will
to a great extent usurp the place Of
the long-popular two-piece model. But
this is to be taken with a grain Of
salt, as 1t were. There are as many
variations of the two-piece mode In
the collections Of new models as there
were in last seasons, and they are
quite as smart and as interesting.
However, there are several frocks
which exemplify the vogue of one
piece models. In general these rather
suggest the two-piece idea, although
skirt and top are attached.
The woman who fails to include In
her summer wardrobe dance or din
ner frock Of sheer black is sure to
regret her lack Of fashion foresight
before the season is over. Nothing
quite takes the place of black eve
ming gown, and 1t can be worn many
more. times than one which attracts
attention because Of It's color.
Everywhere one sees the black eve
ming gowns. At the fashionable sum-
mer places, as well as at the roof
gardens and restaurants in town.
there is unmistakable evidence that
it's place In fashion is very definite
one and distinctly important one
While black taffeta appears in an oc-
casional robe de style, the black
dresses of midsummer reflect ten
dency toward sheer f1lmy material:
that seem a bit more in keeping witt
the season.

Gray being neutral color COM
bines very well with other more de-
cided tints. Gray and cherry red are
fashionable and pretty, so also are
gray and blue Especially powder or
navy blue) and gray with the various
shades of rose. Printed material in
mixed colors is also very smart. Geor-
gette is frequently used in combina-
ton with satin. 1t Is particularly
good for sleeves, ties, collars, or as an
overdress.

Some Hints When Doing
French Embroidery Work

In a graceful spray or wreath Of
French embroidery, whether used on
underwear, children's clothes or house
hold things, the eyelets that make the
flowers and I'LL in other parts of the
design lend the greatest charm.
If your design calls for round eye
let's, as the ones shown here, you will
need a stiletto to punch them, as
shown at A. An ivory or bone stiletto

is usually best, but be sure to choose
one with a very sharp point.
Punch the stiletto through the ma
terial just far enough to meet the out
line of the eyelets that is stamped on
the goods. Fasten the thread with a
tiny back stitch taken very near the
edge of the eyelet, as shown in the
enlarged view at B. Work around
the eyelet with over-and-over stitches
not more than one-sixteenth of an inch
deep. Then bring the thread to the
wrong side and take another small
back stitch as at C.
Eyelets that are not round should
be cut with sharp embroidery scissors
and embroidered in the same manner
outlined for the round ones.

A thief entered the store of w. J.
Lewis at Cheriton last week and sue
ceeded in stealing $225 from the cash
drawer and making good escape with
out being detected.
Mrs. NJ. L. Hopkins, daughter of
the proprietor, was in charge of the
store at the time and said that it was
her belief that the thief was accom-
panied by an accomplice who engag-
ed her attention while the other lean
ed over the counter and extracted the
bills from the drawer which is one of
the type operating under the counter,
without lock. The robbery was COM
mitted between the hours of one and
five o'clock.
Mrs. Hopkins stated that the bills
were all of $40 and 500 denomination
except very few and were peculiarly
folded. This fold has been described
to all local banks and stores and it is
hoped that it may serve as clue.
