some thirty miles from Phila-
delphia.
After a period of dancing and
squirting the young ladies he
settled down to his investigations
and drawings.
He spent from six to ten hours
at q stretch bent over his draw
ing board. He was recalled to
France for one year but returned
as soon as he could, married
and then moved to Louisville.
His business instinct was poor.
He tried portrait painting, a
rather risky way to make a liv-
ing, and finally decided to finish
his work on American birds.
He worked feverishly on his
drawings. And, although they ran
into the hundreds, he was always
afraid that he had not done
enough.
In the spring Of 1925 he had 400
paintings Of birds, and he left for
England. Here passed a period OF
suspense while he travelled to get
the necessary subscriptions for his
masterpiece before it could be
published.
He never obtained the 300
orders, but in 1888 the last print
of Birds in America" was en-
graved and colored.
From then on he lived tran,
gully. writing, painting and
searching for the truth about the
feathered kingdom.

It is significant that Miss Rourke
points out with several well
placed bits Of suggestion that al.
though Audubon's work has left
behind it a flood of sentimen-
tality the man himself was in
truth as great a scientist as a
lover of wild life. He had as a
friend the immortal Daniel
Boone.
He was adopted from an I'M
recorded origin by Captain Jean
Audubon of Nantes, France. Cap
tain Audubon thought he saw
in the boy a naval officer.
Early in his childhood, how
ever, the naturalist asserted him
self and the boys room was al
ways full of nests, eggs, feathers
and shells.
When he was quite a young
man the Captain sent his adopted

Crimson Hair
Murders

Baron Franz MaXimiHan Kara
COZ und Won Kaz is with us again.
This time the Baron, that re-
markable figure of detective flc-
ton with the green umbrella, faces
a serious situation right at the
beginning of the book. In fact
his perturbation over the mystery
never really arises to the height
to which his nerves are shaken by
the letter to Miss Caryl Miquet.
In fact, the Baron would never
have got mixed up with the girl
with crimson hair who was stabbed
so brutally with the sword cane
in his umbrella if he hadn't been
trying to write the letter to Caryl.
At first, it seems. the Baron had
gone to his beloved Vienna to get
the fortune his uncle had left him.
The Baron was no end upset when
he found the fortune to be a lone
gold piece. The letter he tried to
write to Caryl was to be grace
full announcement that he couldn't
marry her.
He thought it best to break off
the engagement without diSclos-
ing the real reason. 1t is because
the Baron never discloSeS the real
reason why he does anything that
makes his part in THE Crimson
Hair Murders" a bit more inter
esting than the usual mystery.
Darwin and Hildegarde Teilhert
who combine their talents in writ
ing of the Baron's adventures
are to be remembered for THE
Feather Cloak Murders" and Dar-
win alone wrote Murder in the
Air" and THE Talking Sparrow
Murders" among others.
All in all it seems that you'd
better get aboard the freighter
with the Baron in this new offer
ing and find out all about his
new exploit.

1876 Pct. Seasonal Decline
Noted Last Month
In Permits.
PRIVATE PROJECTS RISE,
LABOR REPORT REVEALS
Total for First Nine Months Of
1885 Shows II Pct. Gain
Over Previous Year.
BY JAMES Y. NEWTON.

Although activity in building con-
etruction throughout the Nation in
September, as measured by the value
of permits issued, showed a seasonal
decline of 1876 per cent. there was an
increase of more than 54 per cent as
compared with September 1885, ac-
cording to the report of Secretary Of
Labor Frances Perkins, made public
today.
The report stated that the decline
in value of permits issued in Septem-
ber as compared with August was
attributable entirely to the decrease
in public building. Private building,
taken by itself, showed an advance
in value of permits of l per cent dur
ing the month.
Compared with the same month of
last year," Secretary Perkins report
continued, "all types of building con-
struction show pronounced gains. The
value of new residential buildings
registered an increase of Ill per cent,
the value of new non-residential build
ings gained 10 per cent. and the value
of alterations, additions and repairs
increased 81 per cent"
Gain of II Per Cent Over 1885.
During the first nine months OF
1886 permits issued for buildings IN
cities with a population of 10000 or
over were valued at s997, ,924,000. This
represents a gain of II per cent over
the first nine months of 1885. The
value Of new residential building for
which permits were issued during
these months amounted to S45l, ,678,-
900, an increase of s254,067 900, or 129

Less Work For Sunday

Surely the busy home maker needs a weekly day of rest just as much-if not more-than the office or factory worker. That she does not receive it, is in great measure due to her own neglect, since she is in most cases her own taskmaster, free to plan her work to suit herself. If she is to have freedom of a Sunday, then she must so manage her schedule that most of the meal planning and preparation for that day shall be done on Saturday. It is not difficult to do this if the best possible use is made of the refriger- ator and oven cookery. Take the following menu, for example:
 Tomato BouillOn
 Cheese Crackers Olives Celery
 Roast Stuffed Chicken
 Gravy
 Baked Potatoes
 CaulifOwer au Gratin
 Lettuce Salad-Russian Dressing
 Maple Mousse
 Coffee
 On Saturday the bouillon can be made and placed in a covered jar in the refrigerator. The chicken can be stuffed and trussed, wrapped in waxed paper and also placed in the refrigerator. So with the cauli- flower, which should be cooked, mixed with Snedium cream sauce, poured into 8 buttered casserole, sprinkled with grated cheese and dots of butter, covered and placed in the refrigerator. Lettuce and celery may be cleaned, wrapped in wax paper and placed on ice or in the vegetable container of an auto matic refrigerator.
 Oun Sunday, in a few minutes after breakfast the cream may be whipped for the favored with maple, honey or chocolate syrup and placed in the ice cube pans to freeze, or packed in ice, if you have an old style refrigerator. Chicken, potatoes and cauliflower will all cook in the same oven, needing little or no The gravy is about all there is left to bother you.
 Countless other menus, just as good and as easy to manage, can be compiled by any cook who will give the matter 8 little serious thought. Sit down now and make up a half dozen, or at least four for the coming month, and see if they do not completely revolution ize your "busy Sundays"

BY MARIE CLIFFORD

Holidays have been celebrated as feast days or fast days as far back as history has been able to probe. The loly-days whcih com- n1emorated sorrow were observed by fasting; those of gay and joyous nature were observed by feasts. Easter, the holiday which reflects resurrection, new life, abundance and joy of living, has always been observed with the choicest food of- ferings.
 On that day no ordinary menu suffices. Fresh spring vegetables, dainty fruits and the most gala of Easter hams are the traditional offerings for dinner. Just as eggs are traditional for breakfast. - There's always an interesting tale to tell in connection with these traditional foods. The idea of ham for Easter comes from the pre- Christian era when springs new growth and new life were celebrat- ed at community gatherings called the Festival of Spring. Here, neigh bors met and brought their own contributions of food. Ham was even then 8 great delicacy and held it's place as the nucleus of the feast. s Other peoples took up the Easter ham custom in countries where Lent was observed by abstaining from meat. After six meatless weeks, everyone in the community wanted a large portion and every pot and every oven boasted 8 ham or two.
 Hams of this twentieth century are a far cry from those old dried Gnd Shriveled legs of pork, hung over smoking fires until cured. Your Easter dinner may boast a ham with all the ear-marks of civilization. Cut from specially fed, government inspected hogs, sugar cured by the most scientific meth ods which controls to the most mi- mute detail the sugar, salt, water, Temperature, time and sanitary con- ditions, these hams are work of art and science. Best quality hams are carefully wrapped and branded on ham and wrapper with the name And label that helps you identify it
