Ostrich Slaughter Rises
With Demand for Pelts

CAPETOWN, SOUTH AFRICA
Because only busters wear ostrich
feathers now half million ostriches
have been slaughtered in the Karroo
district of South Africa in the past
four years.
Ostrich feathers at one time
brought an income of $40, 100000 to
the union White feathers, which
brought $500 and more a pound in
the boom days before the World
war, can hardly be sold now at sc
cents a pound.
But as feathers have gone dow
skins have gone up, and now Ostrich
skins are selling at $1.25 each.
So the farmers, are killing os
triches for their skins, which are
sent to Britain, France and the
United States to be made into fancy
leather goods. The ostrich farms
of the Karroo are giving place to
fields of lucerne and Vineyards

DOMESTIC:
Stolen March

For two seasons Texas Rep. Mar.
tin Dies has made funny and serious
headlines with his committee inves-
tigating subversive affairs, but not
until late October did anything come
of it. In September Communist Earl
Browder testified he had Travelled
abroad on false passport. This
"shocker" brought no visible burst
of action from the justice depart
ment, hence it became a political
issue. Through the national Repub-
lican office, New jerseys Rep. ].
Parnel Thomas "a Dies prober),
charged Democratic Attorney Cen
eral Frank Murphy with being
strangely Indifferent and listless."
Upshot was Frank Murphy's an
nouncement that a secret investi-
cation had been under way for some
time. He even limited there were
secret indictments. Next day, as if
a long-forgotten matter were sud-
denly remembered, Communist
Browder was indicted. The ques-
ton: Who had stolen a political
march on whom, Parnell or Murphy?
And what would come of it?

For instance. one of the most at

pour the bath powder. Connecting
the handle and long, silky brush
are tiny openings; thus, when you
dust your skin with the brush the
powder comes through and spreads
evenly The brush, or duster,
is the softest one we've seen and
it's certainly neat and easy way
to use powder The complete
outfit is bit expensive, but you
may buy refills of the powder for
very little and, considering dura-
bility and convenience, it's not too
much of an investment. We men,

enthusiastic about it and because
it's just the thing for your after
