Sharing Of Song Birds
Popular Italian "Sport"

The .'sport" of shooting and snar-
ing song birds Is very popular all
over Italy, especially In Tuscany.
Perhaps it is not quite so preva-
lent as 1t was in the old days
when every villa had its "uccela-
tolo" or little thicket to which birds
were lured by the call of tame
Gagged birds trained for the pur-
pose. They were either shot or,
more frequently, captured alive
on twigs smeared with bird-lime,
artfully concealed among the trees,
and dispatched by having their
necks wrung.
Yet, so long as thrushes, larks
and their kind, roasted on a skew
er with sage leaves, continue to be
a favorite winter dish, so long will
the little victims for the banquet
continue to be shared, and the bird
fair at Porta Romano, held from
time immemorial on September %.
provides the wherewithal.
The fair starts early. Long be-
fore daylight country bird train
ers begin to arrive from far and
near, with hosts of tiny wicker
cages each containing a song-bird.
The variety is infinite. Chaffinches
and thrushes fetch the highest
price.-London Mail.

Divorce Easy for Dyaks

The Slang Dyak country of Dutch
Borneo is a paradise for divorced
husbands, as alimony is not known
there and freedom can be pur-
chased for a song, John III. Prov
inse, University of Chicago anthrO-
pologist with the All-American
Lyric anthropological and radio re-
search expedition reported.
Divorce is practiced freely among
the Dyaks and marital ties are cas-
lily severed. AS in this country,
cruelty, infidelity and desertion are
grounds for divorce. With the
payment of trifling penalty
the freed husbands responsibility
ceases.
