The eighth-story building, housing 750.000 birds, was built at a cost of $1,500,000 contributed by the late Harry Payne Whitney and New York City.

(UP) "Esther, the perfect lady," who undoubtedly was enjoying wide popularity in Rio Perdidas de las Animas near here during the lifetime of Christ, again has become a center of attraction. In 2,000 years, however, her admirers have changed from bronze swains to bespectacled scientists. Esther's mummified form was unearthed from ancient ruins in the valley of the "River of Lost Souls." Scientists reported that year-rings in numerous pieces of wood found near the site indicate the 20-year-old maiden lived during the lifetime of Christ. Men of science believe the mummy to be the best preserved of any excavated in the Southwest. East ern scientists, attracted by the rare find, requested that Esther be shipped there for study.

In a few months she will be returned to her native land in a display case to occupy a place among the antiques housed in the museum building at Mesa. Verde National Park. Esther has a complete set of 32 teeth; a smooth leathery skin; nails on every finger and toe; and a remnant of a loin cloth around her slender hips. Beads strung on a 10-foot length of hair cord hang around her neck. Numerous other feminine ornaments were found in the grave.

Esther is one of 26 skeletons unearthed in the Fall Creek ruins, seven miles east of Durango. dw Veteran Miners' Official Dies Carbondale, Pa.

SI, Restricted Items Excepted The One Big Value Treat of the Year A Square Deal Sacramento, Calif. (AP Owen Kessel, a state criminal identification expert, says you can tell any dog by the print of his nose. Because he has read so often of valuable dogs being stolen, he advocates that owners keep "noseprints" by which they can postively identify their animals. Kessel's system is to wipe the dog's nose dry, smear it'with printer's ink, and then place a piece of white paper against the surface. He says that the print of a pup's nose will not change as the dog grows up, although it will become larger.

He asserts there is the same individuality about the print of the pores as there is about a human fingerprint. THE NOSEPRINTS shows the individual arrangement of pores, which varies in each dog.
