Birds to Be Classed as Master Builders

Birds are the most perfect builders,
and-strange as it may sOund-there
is scarcely trade that you will not
find represented among these feath-
cred craftsmen.
Many of the nests of American birds
are marvels of ingenuity, but their
greatest efforts pale beside the won
ders of the tropics. Weavers, carpen-
tiers, tailors, plasterers, tunnelers--
these are but a few of the many
trades that We find practiced when
the nesting season arrives.
The sand-martin and the kingisher,
both belong to the guild of tunnelers,
and are content with a burrowed hole.
Ducks, gulls, water hens, and corn
crakes are all primitive builders, with
no ideas beyond rough and scanty
collection of materials loosely thrown
together on the ground.

ogist, undertakes to solve the
mystery of the murder of a re-
ciuse, Henry Morgan. The dead
mans papers reveal that he had
been in New Zealand. where Nc
Alister Tad lived in his youth.
Will Harvey testifles to seeing a
woman in green cloak at the
Morgan home tire night of the
murder. Doctor McAlister is
asked to see young woman pa
tient In a hospital. In her de-
lirium she mutters in a strange
language which only McAlister
understands. He suspects she
may know something of the MUIR
der. A carefully hidden map is
discovered by McAlister and AS
sistant District Attorney Ashton
in Morgan's home. While they
are searching young woman
enters the house in the darkness
and escapes. leaving behind a
green cloak. The name of Jane
Perkins, housemaid, Is brought
into the case and McAlister be-
lieves he has clue. In response
to an advertisement of the find
ing of green cloak, a young
woman, giving her name as Jane
Perkins, housemaid at The Mere

Smart Modes for Midseason.

that Of which the dress is made Is
inlayed, so to speak, with clever seam
ings.
A close study of the frock in the
picture will reveal an interesting in
set styling. This little dress Is of
chestnut colored wool rep with insets
Of lighter brown ingeniously scanned
into the body Of the garment.
These inlay constructions present
vast possibilities for intriguing design.
For instance, navy blue jersey frock
has inserted strips of French blue, so
scanned as to radiate from a point at
one side, like spOkes of cart wheel.
Another simple Interpretation of the
inset treatment is that of making a
deep yoke of a light tone with a
darker portion sewed below, the hem
line displaying third-degree coloring.
Dresses for children not only en-
plOy inlays of one color, but of many.
Ingenious scanning is given to squares,
triangles and other conventional mo-
tifs of various shades until gay and
modernistic patterning is the result.
Unbroken lines from neck to hem is
the most approved styling this season.
In the soft crepes and ginghams this
is accomplished by means of shocking,
shirring, tucking and plating, which
allows the fullness to fall from the
shoulder. Not only is the peasant-type
frock heavily shocked, but this same
form of handiwork is very popular
throughout all juvenile styling.

Every good" said the doctor. "We

started, and. looking up, found him
regarding the doctor with a queer,
half-frightened expression.

said, stammering little, "there isn't

not entirely convinced, he added "You

the man. ION the young woman's ac-

bespeak other than flash of the sem
sational--a mere passing fancy. How
ever, midseason and fall styles dis
close the fact that serpents reincar-
mated into coats and hats and such
smart details as handbags, belts and
shoes are still moving about on the
stage of fashion.
Indeed so popular have snakeskin
effects become that some of the new
est silks for blouse and for scarf, for
coat Innings and dress trimmings are
printed in snakeskin patternings-
which proves again that limitation Is
the sincerest flattery."
Now comes along a new tribute to
the fashionable serpent-the snake
skin raincoat made of rubberized fab
ric initiating reptile effect.
AS trimming snakeskin is really
wonderfully attractive. Some of au-
tumn's smartest jersey dresses in two
piece styling are detailed with pock-
cts of snakeskin with narrow bands
inserted at wristline and on the col
lar, also finishing the ends of a scarf
tie.
Included in recent showings of early
fall accessories one finds many snake
skin bags, both genuine and imitation,
both of cobra and watersnake variety.
One sees also snakeskin patternings
on felt hats, done by manipulating on
beige and string-colored felt grounds.
The snakeskin coats in the pic
ture bear the seal Of Paris approval.

down the kitchen sink when draining
the vegetables. Boiling any vegetable
in water is not the best way of cook

water in which it is cooked Cooking

very little, cooking in their own steam
will insure serving all the nutriment
in the dish.

Meats, too, are so much more flavor

for cooking stews, pot roasts and

of water, cover tightly and add more
water only as it is needed in the same

Carrot Salad-Take three fresh,
new carrots, one cupful of dry cottage
cheese, one tablespoonful of minced
parsley, shredded lettuce or cabbage,
two tablespoonful of lemon juice, four
of olive oil, one-half teaspoonful or
salt and paprika. Wash and crate the
carrots, combine with the parsley and
cheese. When thoroughly blended, add
the lemon juice and oil ard beat well.
The mixture should be stiff enough
to hold its shape. Season and mold
into tiny carrots; garnish with a sprig
of parsley and serve on lettuce.
Irish Stew.-Cut into serving sized
pieces enough mutton to serve the

three or four tablespoonful of oil.

BU United Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The
State Department has been blanket

since war days.
President Coolidge's new disarma-
ment proposal message was so
closely guarded that even high

the new secrecy rules extend from

to the humblest clerks waste

Depredations by the gray wolves
