Whenever one becomes a little too
Sanguine about Nature conservation. and
begins to feel that. after all. hunting,
trapping. picking and uprooting do not
seem to leave permanent scars on Ma
ture. 1t Is time. one of these Winter
days TO take yourself to the National
Museum and see some of the animals
that have become extinct.
There one may see preposterolls birds
of the Indian Ocean that allowed them
selves to be dubbed into oblivion. and
dainty quadrupcds Of South Africa and
Australia hunted into eternity.
But we need not look so far afield or
look askencc at the peoples of other
continents, who prosecuted these ami
mails out Of existence. We have in our
own consciences the wholesale murder
of the most useful. most beautiful. and
most wonderful of all eXtinguished
thingS-the passenger pigeon.
I paused to admire some stuffed
specimens of these birds only the other
Gay. There cleaned the metallic lights
OH the wings that would never beat
again--indescribabl green's and blues
and rubies. like an opal shining through
mist. There stared in CLASSY fixation
the beautiful, pale. ruby eyes. 1t was
the passenger pigeon. but dead, stuffed
and glued on museum tWig.
Perhaps storms. disease or starvation
diminished the fiockS that once dark
ened the sky with their numbers and
filled the air as with a sound of
thunder. But the chief blame must be
laid at the door of the Americans of
the nineteenth century, whose watch
word was waste
After big days pigeon shooting, the
much lauded pioneers used to drive i'll
droves of pigs to feed on these lovely
creatures. Today. instead of the pas
seneer pigeon in the sky and the wild
pea under foot. and have pigs and this
ties on the earth and English sparrows
in the sky.
The hunters have tried hard to crawl
out from under the blame OF the pas
Senger pigeon massacre. But on their
own admissions. many famous hunters
formed bands for the commercial ex-
ploitation of those birds and, notified
by telegraph. they pursued the last
prosecuted fiocks from State to State
BY 1898, it is certain. only few pigeons
were left. The last one certainly seen
was followed for hours by North Caro-
lima ornithologist. who could not pro-
tect the poor thing. but could only love
and follow it on what may have been
the last day on earth of this magnifi-
cent, martyr species.

but somehow the gray hair makes me
feel SO old Every one says 1t is beauti-
full, but detest it. I had it permanent
ly waved last Summer. but think it
looked better marcelled. I would not
want to have it dyed again for any
thing because felt self-consciouS about
having dyed hair, but I would like to
make 1t darker with the gray showing
only in places My hair is quite brown
in the back and at the sides and it is
very healthy and glossy. Some time
ago you had an article on gray hair,
giving the recipe for a special wash for
it. Would this be suitable for mine?
ALMOST FORTY.
Answer think you refer to the sage
tea rinse which is a hair tonic that
tends to darken the hair gradually. 1t
could not make your hair dark again,
but think 1t would check the CRAVING
process among the hairs that are now
predominantly brown. II your hair is
a chestnut brown you may use the
henna rinse Both these rinSes are
made like ordinary tea that one drinks.
II you do not wish to go to the trouble
and expense of keeping your gray hairs
dyed, the only alternative is to allow
your hair to be its natural color. Be
fore long it will all be gray and you will

kitten on the other guard pillow

These little animals are made of
cotton material, with feet, eyes, nose
and mouth etched in color TO match
the predominating shade in the spread
The pillow is the regulation small
sized one. and the rabbit and kitten
are basted to its ends. The pillowcase
is open at both ends and snaps together
at the back. thus making it very
simple matter to keep the entire set
clean.
Another interesting feature in the
room is the recessed cupboard. which
Is built in space which was once oc-
