Luxuries Are Comparative When two prisoners were asked to name their reward for submitting to blood transfusions at Sing Sing, one asked for stewed chicken and the other for a bowl of spaghetti. The transfu Sion was made in an effort to save the life of a fellow prisoner, | Washington.—The news that Alaska l\as declared war on eagles has brought fo r ^ a broadside of protest from bird enthusiasts. “This means the beginning of the end of the Amer- . ican bald eagle,” they say. “If the intensive and malicious slaughter of the species keeps up, it will soon be as extinct as the dodo, and we will have to look about for a new national emblem—for surely no vanquished bird would be a fitting symbol for our ship of state!” Eagles have never been popular with farmers anywhere, owing to the bird’s reputedly enormous appetite for domestic animals, such as young calves, hogs and sheep. Every effort has' been made, ^therefore, to discour age their comfortable roosts in the vi cinity of farms, h i most rural sec- tions,^they are shot at sight whenever possible, or fed with poisoned bait, set out in traps. The last method is somewhat uncertain, however, since manjr supposedly deadly poisons have no injurious effect whatever upon eagles. This persistent opposition has caused the American eagle, familiarly called “Old Baldy,” gradually to abandon the United States where the species was once widely prevalent and take refuge in Alaska, v^iiere hunting grounds are less restricted. Lately, however, even Alaska has turned against him. Complaining that eagles are carrying off their carefully reared silver foxes, as well as large quanti ties of valuable fish and game, the citizens of Alaska have opened hos tilities on the birds. Guilt Is Questioned. The question now raised by the bird enthusiasts is whether or not the eagle is guilty of these alleged, depre dations. They are inclined to be lieve that the popular idea that eagles frequently feed on domestic animals is erroneous, like the idea that they also carry off small children. There Is no doubt, of course, th a t eagles do kill and eat a large number of wild game birds, but they likewise eat vast quantities of carrion, which is a habit h e lp f u l to man. When the question was submitted to Dr. A. K. Fisher of tlie United States biological survey, he adopted a neutral attitude. This at once looked bad for the eagle, because Doc tor Fisher is one of our foremost, champions of birds. Through his in vestigation of the stomachs of thou sands Of birds he has established the innocence of many species which have always been regarded as Injurious to the interests of man.. Although it has been impossible to obtain m a n y stomachs of eagles for investigation, the birds have b e e n Studied thoroughly by various mem bers of the biological survey. The bald eagle lives partly after the man ner of vultures, gorging itself to re pletion when opportunity offers, then perhaps fasting for days. Lack of food even for a long period is appar ently no grave handicap, for one indi vidual under observation went with out food for thirty-two days. The indigestible portions of its food are ultimately disgorged in tlie shape of pellets which resemble those of owls. These pellets have been of great value in solving the mystery of the eagle’s diet. “Fish seems to be the principal food of the bald eagle, and when ob tainable is often preferred to anything else,” says one of the investigators of the survey. “The dead fish found along the shores of sea or lake or river, those that the eagle catches by' its own efforts and those of which it robs tlie osprey are alike acceptable. : In many places it obtains a good share of its food from the dead fish cast up by the waves. Prefer Game Birds. ‘Tt is a regrettable fact that, after fish, birds constitute the most impor tant part of the bald eagle’s diet and sometimes furnish almost the entire food. The larger species, particular ly Of waterfowl and game birds, are preferred; song birds seem rarely if ever to be molested. Dead* birds, es pecially waterfowl, whenever avail able are greedily devoured, as many observations prove.” Unfortunately, scientists point out, the bald eagle’s fondness for mammal flesh leads it to attack domestic ani mals. This happens* rarely to the larger kinds, though a sickly or weak ling calf may once in a while be killed; but sheep and hogs In some places suffer . considerably. Full-grown healthy sheep are seldom killed, the attacks being confined principally to sick or weakly animals and to lambs. In places where large numbers of pigs are raised and allowed to run more or less wild the loss is large, th e ' bird occasionally venturing boldly even close to hum an'dwellings in pursuit of its prey. While from this it may be seen that the bald eagle destroys species useful to man, it is not, according to the bio logical survey, as generally injurious as rumor makes it. Its’ a ttacks'up or domestic animals are seldom made ex cept when other food is unobtainable Its destruction of ducks, geese and otljier waterfowl, all of which are available as food for man, is a much more serious matter, because it is more frequent. The.se are liabilities against it, but to its credit is the fact that it devours large quantities of carrion.

Handbags May Match or ^ Contrast With Costume The ensemble idea is responsible for the close conformity which exists be tween handbag styles and the mode. The recurrence of the costume motif up^n the purse is not the only mani festation of this tendency—^it is equally important that the outline of the bag coincide with the silhouette of the coat or dress. Thus in the days of the bouffant silhouette the ample pouch bag was en regie, while today and ever since the vogue of the straight, slender outline, the large, flat envelope bag with or without a handle has been the leading style. There is no set color scheme for the handbag this season. It may match the 'rest of the outfit or it may vividly contrast with it. This easy interpretation enables the wo man who is anxious to inject a strik ing color note into her costume \but who is a little timorous about em- ployihg coat or frock therefor, to se lect a bag of garish hue^ and thus gratify her urge toward lively color ings. One prominent Paris dealer has a full collection of new purses, card cases and handbags made of basket woven strips of metal and black moire ribbon forming alternating squares. . The ribbons are about half an inch wide. The metal effects are in both antique gold and platinum. The bags nre exquisitely designed and -look more like jewelry than fabric. Another novelty purse by this designer is a white linen in a poplin weave fasten ing with a tongue buckle of colored enamel. A third is of white faille em broidered in pure Persian bird and flow'er designs in multi-colored silks. Hand-Painted Ribbons ^ Used for Trimmings Hand-painted ribbons are the latest “ultra” among the extravagant trim mings. • These, in fine grades of satin and taffeta, are sash width, the de sign being done in bold flower and nouveau-art patterns. A charming ./^ • ribbon intended to be used as the elab orating part of a gown of soft mate rial is painted in a softened sugges tion of peacock feathers. The gor geous bit costs several dollars the yard. Narrower ribbons, hand-painted in delicate flowers or figures, are to be had for hat bands or as a dainty fin ishing touch on the neck and sleeves of soft gowns and blouses. A great variety of trimming is be ing featured, repeating the new note in many of the imported models. An absolute novelty is a band of narrow crisp ribbon loosely braided in geo metric or conventional patterns, to be used on the more elaborate crepe gowns and wraps. It may be had in widths from 1 to 5 inches. It is shown in black and white, black and silver or gold and in tlie rich combination of color seen in the European peasant needlework. Jet, paillets, steel, sil ver and dull gold on net are among the other kinds of trimming that have just arrived. Red With Blue Is Used for Children’s Clothes With m aterials so varied in texture and so lovely iii color it is not surpius- ing to find children’s clotlies more in teresting tlian they have ever been. There Is a marked penchant for red ■ used w ith navy blue or combined with ' white. Both green and yellow are chosen for wee frocks, while powder blue is the shade in which several dif ferent models of coats are dsveloped. These are of homespun and are fash ioned on the simplest of tailored lines. To Avear with a coat of this type therb ] are hats o f the pame tone made of ^ straw or silk. ,
