ATHENS BIRDS' FATE PUZZLES Whether the birds which disappeared from Athens, Greece, during the epidemic of dengue fever, will return, is puzzling Greek zoologists. One theory is that the feathered songsters, which filled the gardens of the city, were attacked by the fever and flew away to die, another is that their instinct caused them to seek refuge elsewhere.

N. Dec. 25. (A P) Shot by coast guardsmen whilt cruising in a small boat in the Niagara river here tonight, Eugene Downey, 27, son of Police Lieut. Eugene F.

Downey, died fti a hospital less than an hour later. Downey was crossing the Niagara river in a motor craft. Authorities said he failed to stop in answer to a command from the coast guardsmen, who then opened fire with a machine gun. No liquor nor narcotics were found in the boat. Downey was accompanied by a young man who was at the wheel when the coast guardsmen opened fire.

After Downey was wounded the other occupant of the boat put on full speed, ran his craft into shore and escaped before the government men were able to land. His identity was not learned. Downey died of a. bullet wound in the ab domen. The boat, customs officials say, answered the description of one which has been running rum end narcotic drugs from the Canadian shore to Buffalo and vicinity.

They had been notified by Ontario officials, they said, that the surreptitious traffic of narcotics between Canada and the United States re cently had grown to extensive proportions. Downey was released only last week in bail of $1,000 after he had been arrested by special agents of the coast guard intelligence unit on a smuggling conspiracy charge. He was one of nine arrested in connection with the alleged smuggling activities of the barge Loretta, which, it is charged by the government, brought 1,000 cases of liquor to Buffalo from Port Colborne, last October. EYELASHES TELL HEALTH Instead of being a mark of beauty, long eyelashes are an indication, in many cases, of ill health. Thus declares a physician of Japan after a two-year study of the subject.

He found that most children in poor health have long eyelashes, and that those of consumptive children grow twice as long as those of tots that are in good health. He adds that eyelashes of normal children advance about an eighth of an inch the first year of life, while those of scrofula sufferers become about twice as long. TO ARIZONA BILTMORE LEAVE 27 S.
