SMALL HATS RUIN
OSTRICH INDUSTRY
Demand for Feathers Declined as
War Started and Many Birds
Were Slaughtered.

Ostrich feather farmers are among
the most pessimestic people in Africa.
They have been In this undesirable
frame of mind for nearly 90 years,
writes the johannesburg correspondent
of the San Francisco Chronicle; in
fact, ever since the occurrence of the
change in women's fashions that af-
fected this important industry. Paris,
New York and London dress and hat
designers are responsible for this
tragedy to one of South Africa's out
standing activities.
In 1918, the last prosperous year for
the ostrich feather farmers, more than
three quarter million birds we're in
captivity. AS soon as war started in
1914, the luxury merchants of the
world closed their accounts and the
slaughter of the now useless African
birds commenced. Nowadays one often
sees wagonloads of ostrich carcasSes
being transported over the rural high
ways surrounding Oudtshoorn, Cape
Province, the former headquarters OF
the industry.
From 1880 till 1918 ostrich farming
was admittedly the most prosperous
branch of agriculture in all Africa. A
single pedigree bird was worth from
SIS, 900 to $1,000, and the land on which
the creatures thrived sold at $1,000 an
acre. Almost every ostrich farmer
lived in mansion and in view of the
fact that noticeable competition never
arose in any other country the settlers
showed the certainty of continued
wealth. Strict government embargos
prevented the export of live birds or
eggs to states where competition was
possible. Apart from that the Calf
fornian, Australian, Argentine and AL
gerian experimenters were handicapped
by climatic disadvantages
Africa'S prosperous growers did not,
however reckon on one thing. While
| they continued to give out money on
mortgages to buy costly automobiles,
and to send their sons to college,
fashion veered around in favor of small
| hats for women. Nobody bought the
picture models of 1912 any more and
even for trimmings and fans the in
| quiries were few
While the guns in France crashed,
the homesteads in Oudtshoorn district,
South Africa, became silent. Nobody
! wanted frills and furbelows from 1914
to 1918. The breeding paddocks in
| which the birds had once been kept
were now used for tobacco and other
ordinary crops. The great American
and French dealers who formerly main
tanned branches in this country closed
their Offices and the huge Feather
Market Hall at Port Elizabeth, the
! harbor through which all the produce
was once shipped, was devoted to every
day purposes. Since then the farmers
have again tried to popularize the once
remunerative product.

NAVY FARLEY LIST
OF us. COMPLETED
Adams, Morrow and Gibson
Are Appointed by Hoover
as Delegates.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The selection of the group of men
who will represent America when the
world principal naval powers meet at
London to consider a limitation of the
instruments of sea warfare is now COM
plete.
The delegation will consist of Secre-
tary Henry L. Stimson of the State De-
partment, Secretary Charles Francis
Adams of the Navy Department, Charles
G. Dawes, the Ambassador to Great
Britain; Dwight w. Morrow. the AM
bassador to Mexico; Hugh S. Gibson,
the Ambassador to Belgium; Senator
David A. Reed of Pennsylvania and
Senator Joseph T. Robinson of Ar
kansas.
In addition, the commission will have
the assistance of Admiral William v.
Pratt, ommander-in-chief of the
United States fleet, and of Rear Ad-
miral Hilary p. Jones' retired, as tech
nical advisers on the requirements of
the American Navy.
Morrow Appointment Surprise.
President Hoover announced the COM
pletion of his carefully approached task
of selecting delegates late yesterday,
disclosing the appointment of Adams,
Morrow and Gibson. The selection of
the four others had previously been
made public.
Morrow's appointment occasioned
some surprise in official Washington.
Speculation as to the personnel of the
delegation had not included his name
but it was pointed out that his ability
to handle delicate international negoti-
ationS had been demonstrated by his
career at Mexico City, that he is a close
student of world problems and that in
all ways he was logical choice for
membership on the delegation.
Secretary Adams is expected to head
and coordinate the work of the COM
MISSIONS advisory committee on tech
nical problems, a function filled by
Theodore Roosevelt. jr., then Assistant
Secretary of the Navy, at the Washing
ton Arms Conference of 1921.
Gibson Headed 1927 Group.
Ambassador Gibson has been in close
touch with naval developments for a
number of years. He was at the head
of the American delegation to the un-
successful tri-partite conference at
Geneva in 1927 and was the delegate
the League of Nations preparatory
commission on disarmament at Geneva
last Spring.
At that time he advanced for the first
time the now famous Hoover yard
stick" approach to the naval problem
which furnished basis for the more
recent successful negotiations with
Great Britain. While these we're in
progress Gibson was in intimate asso-
citation with the conversations and made
numerous trips to London to consult
with Ambassador Dawes.
Admiral Pratt is the only member of
the commission as thus far announced
who participated in the Washington
conference. holding then place on the
technical advisory committee. Admiral
Jones was a member of the commission
which represented the United States at
the Geneva conference. Mr. Hoover's
of his appointment dis
posed of recent reports that he would
not accept place on the commission
to thepLondon parley.

v. R. &E. TO Join
H|GHER-FARE PLEA
Decision for Action Is Made
at Meeting of Executive
Committee.

Following the lead of the Capital
Traction Co., the Washington Railway
g. Electric Co. decided yesterday after
noon to appeal to the courts for the
fong-Sought higher fare denied last
week by the Public Utilities Commits
sion.
The company's action was taken at
a meeting of the executive committee,
at which the commissions voluminouS
formal order refusing to increase car
fares was discussed. AT its conclusion,
William F. Ham, president of the COM
pany, issued prepared Statment TAX
ing direct issue with the declaration
of the commission that the companies
had failed to make out a case justify
ing higher fares. and pointing out that
Washington's traction lines, with their
expensive underground system. cannot
continue to give the class OF service de-
sired by the public at the present rates
of fare.
Bowen to Prepare Appeal.
The appeal to the courts from the
commissions decision will be prepared
by S. r. Bowen, vice president and head
of the company's legal staff. Mr..
Bowen said today he had not yet de-
cided what form the appeal would take;
nor would he @predict when 1t would
be ready to be filed. 1t Is likely, how
ever, that it will take a week or 10
days.
G. Thomas Dunlop, vice president and
counsel for the Capital Traction Co,
is now at work on the appeal of that
company and indications are that 1t
will be filed in the District Supreme
Court next week. Although Mr.. Dun
lop has not revealed the nature OF the
appeal he has indicated it will be &C
= L., hot he
issue a temporary order fixing fares
at 10 cents cash, with four tokens for
30 cents, pending final settlement OF
the case.
Hams Statement.
The statement issued by President
Ham at the close of the meeting OF the
executive committee follows:
"At a meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the Washington Railway &
Electric Co., held today, the officers of
the company were directed to proceed
with an appeal to the court from the
recent order of the Public Utilities
Commission denying the application of
Capital Traction Co. for increased rates
of fare, to which application this COM
pany has been made a party by order
of the commission.
Although the commission in its order
concluded that the companies had not
fully met the burden of proof and left
the way open for them to submit fur
ther evidence. our company confidently
rests its case on the evidence already
submitted and feels that the Importance
to the community and to itself of the
matters involved require that they
should be presented promptly to the
court for review.
I'VE confidently believe that with an
adjudication by the court of certain
matters of fact and of principle, con-
corning which there is now a difference
of opinion, there will come realization
on the part of all concerned that the
street railways in Washington, with
their expensive underground conduit
system. cannot continue to render the
class of service desired by the public at
the present rates of fare"

GARB OF A PRINCESS.
Marie Jones' Trousseau Contains
Many Exquisite Articles.

BRUSSELS.-The Princess Marie
Jose's wedding dress will have a very
long train, probably made of some OF
the lovely old lace for which the
Belgian royal family is envied
The princess trousseau will include
some exquisite evening coats; there is
one of white satin, white velvet and
ermine which she will wear over
white chiffon velvet gown, and another
of mauve velvet lined to the waist with
ermine, to go with pale mauve chiffon
gown trimmed with shoulder trail
of mauve wistaria.
The gowns are close-fitting and long,
as Marie Jose has succumbed to the
vogue of the long. dress for evening
wear. But the sports suits of her
trousseau are made with short jackets
and short pleated skirts. Simple jump
ers complete them, and the suits are
mostly in beige. white or cream. The
princess has collected some 20 berets to
wear with them.

Turks May Go TrouserlesS.

NTINOPLE.-Dealers in old
clothing have suffered sad reverse in
their fortunes, and many young Turk
will now be trouserless, one fears, as the
import tax on secondhand clothes is
being raised to about $120 per 100 kilos.
It is no doubt an ill wind that blows
nobody good, and this wind was off,
cially set in the direction of the suffer-
ing tailors of ConStantinople. But Tur-
key has always wanted lots of trousers,
and wanted them cheap. Old coats, ac-
cording to the Jewish old clothes deal
ers, go mostly to India, old waistcoats
to South Africa. 1t is sad thought
that trousers for Turks may cease to be
great business slogan.
