PAEIlS Sept. D.
CCIENCE is able to explain so
- much away these days-many
of the p~replexities that have puz-
zled thinkers for centuries, many
of the things we have taken more
or less for granted for these same
centuries.
Why we behave like human be-
ings, why a flower has the color
it has and the odor it has, and
to what extent this assists the in
sects and birds-and ever SO many
more such things.
Scientific books are not the dull
tones that they once were; indeed.
many of them are so fascinating
one is totally unable to put them
down until the last chapter is
finished!
BUT I wonder if any n ever
has investigated the reason for the
astonishing beauty of color and
delicacy of design found in endless
variety in the plumage of birds?
I never have found much written
on the subject, have you?
I'm musing on feathers today be-
cause they have been brought to
my attention, due to the vogue for
them, which has been imminent
but not important for several sea-
sons.
But in the fall collections one
finds them rather more often . .
fiat feather trimming on the smart
est small hats, exquisite embroider-
les combined with colored feathers,
shoes partially or entirely covered
with feathers.
And as if nature already had not
been kindly enough with her
varieties of p1umage. where the
couturiers does not find something
that exactly suits his design, he
achieves it with the aid of paint
or dyes!

body would come along with an
idea that would enable me to use
up all the 6arned little fur pieces
odd fur olIars, restS-Of-what-
used-to-be-a-lot-of dollars worth
of-coat-you know what I mean.
Well, the vogue for smart &C
~cessories made out of fur has more
than answered wonderings! This
winter you are going to see entire
belts made out of fat fur. Jewlry,
honestly! Bracelets and necklaces
tiny fur hats of the beret style,
and all sorts of things like that.
Knowing this to be a fact, I
fixed up a leafet for you telling
how to go about making your old
fur scraps over into new, modern
accessories. Don't you think you'd
better send a 2-cent stamp to the
Dare Department of The Times
for it?. You might be sorry If
you didn't!

can always have things made to
order, sometimes there is an inter
esting price at sale time!

BOND PRICES MOVE
|. IN NARROW RANGE
Early Losses in Some Issues
Are Regained-Trad-
ing Quiet.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.


NEW YORK, December 29.-After a
weak opening, todays bond market re-
ceived support before midday and
turned irregular. Many of the early
losses were regained. Some were con-
verted into net gains. Other issues re-
manned at the days bottom.
Trading was dull and it was apparent
that buying was highly Selective. Vol
ume was Of only moderate size. Money
rates were unchanged.
A cross section of the market re-
vealed that of 155 active issues, Al were
lower. AZ higher and 81 unchanged.
In the foreign department % were
higher, IA lower and 81 unchanged.
High-grade domestic bonds stood 7
lower, 6 high and Is unchanged. In
Junior securities IL were lower, Is

The feature was the strength of New
York City Traction issues. This fol-
lowed publication of the Untermyer
unification plan, under which senior
security holders of Brooklyn Manhat-
tan Transit and the Interborough
lines will receive at par New York
City corporate stock in exchange for
their bonds. Brooklyn Manhattan
Transit IS advanced 2 points. Inter-
borough refunding SIS gained points.
marlborough 6s were 3 points higher
Manhattan Railway As gained points.
All OF these gains were later shaded by
profit taking.
High-grade bonds were traded In only
small quantities, with few price changes.
Atchison General 4S. Baltimore &
Ohio As. Southern Pacific AIS, Inter-
national Telephone SIS, Utah Power e.
Light IS, Atlantic Refining SIS and In
land Steel 4l2s all had fractional losses.
The rest Of this group was unchanged

Convertibles had an irregular trend
with stocks. Utilities Power & Light SIS
and Chicago & Northwestern 434S were
off over point. Commercial Investment

COPPER INDUSTRY
CURTAILING OUTPUT
Producers Expect to Benefit by
Curtailment in Mining
Operations.
BY TIE Associated Press.

BY tire Associated Press,
ITEW YOPK, December 29.-The
fundamental law of supply and de-
mand, with the supply far exceeding
the demand, gave the copper industry
in 1880 one Of the worst headaches
in its career
But the arrival of 1891 finds the in
dustry agreed on a program of produc-
ton curtailment which is expected to
place 1t on a sounder basis when ac-
cumulated stocks are disposed of.
Lead. zinc and virtually the entire
non-ferrous metal line likewise suffered
declines in the year. The lone excep-
ton was nickel
Silver suffered the greatest collapse
in history. selling close to 80 cents an
ounce the lowest ever reached.
Copper during the year dropped to 912
cents. the lowest in "a years but as the
year neared the end the price was sta
bilized around IL cents, although sales
were few, due To supplied market.

said.

Nevertheless, he has feeling of OPP
timism regarding the future of world
trade in general and British trade In
particular.
He is confident the time will come
when not only the magnitude of Great
Britain'S trade, but of world trade, will
be so great that the world of today is
unable to conceive it.
The chancellor asserted there IS

"Pessimism has been oye-done." said
SnOwden, who deprecatss this spirit

Pessimism Won't Help.
Snowden. who himself has triumphed
over great universities in his career, said
it was not the spirit of peSsimism which
triumphed in the past in difficulties as
great as those the country faces today.
A hundred years ago things were a.
bad or worse but times changed and
the next 80 years marked the greatest
prosperity IN the history of Great Brit
ain. And Snowden said, times will
change again.

another the car Ia subjected 90
