' 1 . . 1 Miss Margie Fitzpatrick Captures the Feathered t "Americus" of Zoo. i THE boys spent more time yesterday yester-day at Liberty park watching t lie bears and the monkeys, while a good many of the younger ladies, those in quite short skirts and hair ribbons, devoted .themselves with feminine partiality to the more docile of the inhabitants of the cages, shelters shel-ters and other places of the park. That-is, That-is, all but one of the girls seemed to indicate a preference for such things as ducks and peacocks, decrs and songbirds. song-birds. Little Miss Margie Fitzpatrick, however, how-ever, found a young eaglet, with talons of iron and a beak of sufficient development de-velopment to take care of its, own car-niverous car-niverous appetite. Margie thought the eagle's plumage beautiful and while other children agreed with that opinion from a distance, Margie walked right up to feel the feathers for herself. Voting feathered ' Amcricus ' 7 apparently ap-parently liked Margie's looks as well and the camera man caught the pair together. The eaglet had apparently escaped from its cage and when Margie Mar-gie found him was resting on a low branch of a pine tree near tho main drive beside the merry-go-round. Margie's Mar-gie's fondness for such a war-like bird as the eagle may have been gained in her home town, Weston, Idaho. With her family she is in Salt Lake visiting visit-ing relatives.
