Many Varied
Exhibits AT The
Outdoor Show

Among the many varied exhibits of
the North American Sports, Garden
and Outdoor Life Show to be held at
the Fifth Regiment Armory, Balti-
more, Maryland, February 18th to rs,
inclusive, will be rare tropical fish
and every type of fur from grizzly
bear to chinchilla pelts.
One exhibit will be an odd and cur
ious collection of classified, counted
and mounted canary bird feathers
gathered by Mrs. James H. Dorsey,
Baltimore, who, in the course of three
seasons of her feathered pets moult-
ings, has assembled feathers number
ing many thousands per moult. These
tiny pathological curios, so small
that they give the appearance of down
from milk weed. Even her friends
are astounded at the huge quantity Of
feathers small bird like the canary
can shed in the course of season.
Commenting on her collection, Mrs.
Dorsey said, 81 am sorry that they
were not ducks, for, instead of having
only several bottles of feathers, there
would be enough for two or three
feather BEDS"
Another purpose in starting this
collection, Mrs. Dorsey said, was to
place few of them in receptacles in
the cages when the birds were mating
so that, with the coming of the young

TO PARTICIPATE
in ELABORATE
MANEUVERS

According to present plans the
troops of the Maryland National
Guard will take part in elaborate
military maneuvers in Northern Vir-
ginia this summer.
Major General James K. Parsons
Commanding General, Third Corps
Area, revealed this week that all Ma
tional Guard and Regular Army
troops in the area will participate in
the maneuvers.
The First Regiment, Maryland Ma
tional Guard, together with the Fifth
Regiment, 10th Field Artillery, and
other units from Maryland, Virginia
and Pennsylvania, that make up the
29th Division, will go into the field
under the command of Major General
Milton A. Reckord.
The maneuvers, the largest under
taken in the Third Corps Area since
the World War, will be carried out
in Northern Virginia, between Quanti-
CO and Manassas. Approximately
100000 acres will be used by the
troops.
A similar maneuver was held in
1885 at Indiantown Gap, Pennsylvania.
However, on that occasion the Vir-
ginia troops were unable to partici-
pate.
Among the other National Guard
units participating will be the 18th
Division, made up entirely of Pennsyl-
vania troops.
The maneuvers this summer will in
clude major problems in transport
and motorized units are expected to
play prominent part in the games.
While the final word ego" has not
been given, it is expected that the
First Regiment will join the other
troops in the field in August 9Th, and
will remain until August 10th. Dur
ing this two weeks period the citi-
zen soldiers from the various cities
and towns of Maryland will be given
major taste of training under con-
ditions strongly Stimulating real war
fare.

sters, the mother and father bird
might line the nest with feathers.
This collection will be used education
ally.
In addition to exhibiting this unique
collection of feathers, Mrs. Dorsey
has an unusual group Of historic wood
from ships, buildings, famous trees
and other places collected since 1870,
demonstrating the historic part that
trees have played in the life and
development of the nation.
These exhibits may be seen on the
Preston Street Terrace Of the Fifth
Regiment Armory when the Show
opens on February 18th.

DAINTY HOUSE DRESS IN LARGER SIZES
 By CLAIRE TILDEN
PATTERN 883

This up-with-the-birds, Claire Tilden frock will bid a cheery good morning" to the breakfast table. It's crisp and fresh looking made in colorful printed broadcloth or chambray. And you'll find Pattern 883 magically quick-just few short hours work with the clear Sewing Guide instructions on hand for reference. There's absolutely no waistline seaming-just darts with the sash stitched through and tied in back. That crossed-over neckline is wonderfully slenderizing, especially when it breaks into gay scallops down the front opening The sleeves may be scalloped, com- fortable, straight and full, or long. AS for the neck, it is attractive in the plain version, but you might prefer to dress 1t up with a fresh contrasting collar, scalloped around the edge. Ruffles or ric-rac trim will give the whole style added ap- peal.
 Pattern 883 is cut in women's sig es 36, 38, 40, 42, A. AS, 48 and 50. Size 36 requires 4 3-4 yards 35 inch fabric and 3-8 yards ruffling.
