But returning to the reasons which have made the ocean's bosom a place of safety and repose we must not. not for a minute, overlook the stu­pendous change In navigat ion 's rules and navigation's pract ices which the wireless wrought.

The radiogram Is an Invention of our own time. Any man of thirty, with a memory for his boyhood can recall the invention of telegraphy without wires.

Wireless from ship to ship and wireless from ship to shore spells safety for the ocean traveler—a safe­ty device that I.s almost a novelty to the majority of us.

And the figures with respect to the danger incurred by the Individual sea-goer a r e eveu more striking.

The danger of loss of life by a passenger on an ocean voyage ls only 02. per cent, even if au accident be­falls his ship.

it Is Interesting to survey the fig­ures which the Lloyd's analysis pre­sents .

The chance ot an accident to a ship upon the seas involving the loss of a life of a passenger is just 1.2 per cent. In other words, for every thousand ships s ta r t ing upon an ocean voyage, there will be only 12 fatal accidents between port and port.

This ls SO tiny a fraction that even the most timid soul should look upon a compulsory sea t r ip not as some­thing forcing them Into danger hut ra ther as a chance to avoid danger for the durat ion" of the voyage.

It means that for every 10.0U0 passengers who t ake ship and sail the seas upon a sh ip that suffers a casual ty Involving the loss of a life there will be but two deaths out of the ent i re number.

Infallible One way you can stop your neigh­

bor from saying he lives next door to an idiot fs to move.

n ECENT excavat ions about Ur. * ^ which as all cross-word puzzlers know is the Babylonian home of Abraham, have resulted in the dis­covery of what seem to be rouge boxe? and lipsticks.

The quest of beauty, we thus dis­cover, is older than wri t ten history.

This gives some semblance of ex­cuse to the modern maiden, who. fancying red lips and pink cheeks will more readily lure masculine admira­tion manufactures them artificially If she doesn't poesess them.

There is no reason to doubt thai woman always tried to be pret ty, even without the evidences of Ur.

Her business was getting a husband, and husbands are singularly able to look through the windows of the fe­male soul and see it In all its worthi­ness.

What they looked for in Ur, as well as today was a pretty face.

The soul and the mind that goes with It doesn't po much matter.

Pretty faces a r e no t so plenj^ful. In this day and age, and they were prob­ably less so in Ur. when'gir ls probably were not so well fed, and spent too much time at agricul tural labor to at tend to their beauty.

So they had to pretend to be pret­ty, as many af the plain ones do now.

The Ur discoveries seem to make the fussy questiou of "what are our girl? coining to?" look ra the r silly.

If paint and powder da te back thou sands of years, our girls aren't any worse than girls have been since Abra­ham's time.

As a mutter of fact they are a good deal better—for they have added ed­ucation and intelligence to beauty, and no man can complain that they are dull company, which they may have been in the ancient days.

As for the paint that they use, the\ would look funny. In a time when all women use it if they didn't.

That is Just fashion—nut as sensi­ble a fashion as short ski r ts and

bobbed hair—and It will probably pass the quicker for that reason.

It will be noticed that country-bred girls, with natural coloring on their cheeks are even more fascinating to men than the artificially-beautified city maidens, and af ter tha t there will not be so much pale for cosmetics.

In the meant ime there is no evi­dence, whatever, tha t paint or rouge or bobbed hair, or even a wider knowledge of the facts of life have injured the morality of young women.

They are of the same sort they al­ways were—the vast majority of them clean minded and happy, und they are far bet ter able to take cure of them­selves than were their sisters in Ur, who were glad to be wives, even if many of them had to be the wives of a single husband.

ALJOLSON in "He Jazz Singer"on the

Movie Phone SUNDAY, MONDAY. TUESDAY, JULY 15-16-17 His Greatest Success. Al Jolaom relives his own life. Sweetest heart song ever sung. Greatest entertainment of the stage now greatest entertainment of the screen.

The jazz singer grown to young manhood, travel-worn, down and out, blue! He enters Coffee Dan's Restaurant in Frisco, where stage people gather. Professionals and amateurs sing, treated to silence or enthusiastic knocking of hammers with which each guest is provided. The Jazz Singer is called on. He responds. Volcanic emotional, moving— the house is wild. Tiny hammers beat approval Then Fate intervens, a dainty lady comes to the table where the singer sits. Would he like an engagement, he must see her manager tomorrow, and then—see the play.

A picture for the young who dream of far fields, and for the old who remember. A play to make each more tolerant of the other. Like an April day, sun, rain, winds and clouds-then sun again. A play to warm the heart and stir the pulse. THIS IS OUR TREAT.NO ADVANCE IN PRICES News &. Comedy ADMISSION 15c —30c

i th Of New York and J o s e p h T. Robinson of Arkansas were chosen t h e s t anda rd beare rs of the Democra t i c pa r ty in the coming cam­pa ign .

When the first roll call ended Smith w a s 8 % votes shor t of the 733¼ nec­e s s a r y to nomina te . Ohio led t h e • w i t c h e s t ha t rolled up the governor 's t o t a l to 8 4 9 % .

J i m Reed, Smi th ' s outs tanding rival for t h e nominat ion, took the platform a n d summoned all factions of the par­t y to uni te in suppor t of the nominee.

T h e naming of "Al" Smith was mere ly pu t t ing t h e official s t amp on t h e expressed choice of a vast ma­jo r i t y of the par ty . The opposition which marched on Houston with the de te rmina t ion to fight the New York fforernor to the last ditcn soon discov­e red they did no t have a chance.

T h e t ide toward Joe Robinson for second place on the ticket s tar ted even before the convention was opened. One bal lo t was enough.

Those who were looking for a "wet" p lank in the pa r ty platform were dis­appointed. After a bi t ter controversy for days In the committee, a plank w a s agreed upon which declares for enforcement of the Eighteenth amend­ment . T h e plank sharply criticizes t h e Republican adminis t ra t ion for w h a t is described as a failure to en­force the dry laws and also for plac­ing "political h i re l ings" in enforce­men t positions, t hus making of pro­hibit ion a political football.

The platform pledges the par ty to es tabl ish a farm relief policy modeled npon the federal reserve system. Two ou t s t and ing pa rag raphs read :

"Creat ion of n federal farm hoard to assist the farmer and stock raiser in the marke t ing of their products as t h e federal reserve board has done for t h e banker and business mrtn.

"Credi t aid by loans to co-opera­t ives on at least as favorable a basis a s the government aid to the merchant m a r i n e . "

T h e Democra t ic plank does not ment ion McNary-Flaugen nor the equal iza t ion fee.

However , it does mention the prin­ciple of the equal isat ion fee. It pledges t h e foster ing and development of c o o p e r a t i v e marke t ing associations th rough appropr i a t e government aid, Then It pledges the party "to an ea rne s t endeavor to solve this problem M the dis t r ibut ion of the cost of deal­i n g with crop surpluses over the mar­k e t e d uni t s of the crop whose pro­ducers a re benefited by such assis­t a n c e . "

Othe r Mfc'h spots of the platform w e r e :

Denunciat ion of Republican corrup Hon.

F u r t h e r - r e d u c t i o n in taxation by l imi t ing debt re t i rement to sinking fund requirements .

Each of the interested governments was urged to sign on the dotted line a t once and to accept the treaty as wri t ten without qualification or reser­vation. This government, Mr. Kellogg s tated. Is prepared to sign the treaty as it now stands without reservations.

Mr. Kellogg brushes aside most of the objections advanced by France and other powers and state? frankly that his examination of their replies to his first note, Inviting them to co­operate In the negotiation of a t reaty for the renunciation of war, has re­vealed no reasons why they should not adhere to the final draft of the t rea ty a t once. He described the changes? in the t reaty n? slight.

In making public his note placing the mat te r of approving the latest t reaty draft squarely up to the inter­ested powers, Sta te depar tment offi­cials made it known that l'J of the nat ions have signified, through their ambassadors , a readiness to sign the treaty at once.

France and Italy a re understood to be the only nations whose representa­tives* have displayed reluctance toward complete acceptance of the Kellogg propov-jil.

The confidence felt by Mr. Kellogg in the ul t imate success of his peace activit ies Is expressed in the conclud­ing lines of his invitation.

"My government Is confident." he ns sorts, " that the other nations of the world will, as soon ns the treaty comes in force, gladly adhere thereto, and that tills simple procedure will bring mankind 's age-long aspirat ions for universal peace nea re r To practical fulfillment than ever before in the his-torv f>f the world "

Its* downfall dates In reality to 1914 and the war, when the French, al­though wanton with the blood tha t poured from the open wound in the country 's side, never felt Inclined to tax themselves, as other warr ing coun­tries did.

Many Are Offered, but AH of Them Turn Out to

Be Fakes.

Baltimore, Md— Ever on the look­out for an authent ic ghost Is Dr. Hen­ry C. McL'omas, who will be a lec­tu re r on psychology at the lohns Hop­kins university during the next scho­last ic year.

Doctor McComas has sought dili­gently for such a phenomenon and u'tvays has been disappointed. He n e t seen plenty of manifestat ions which were represented to be astral spir i ts , but none that was convincing — to him.

In fact, he has a pet ghost r>* his own that is better than mo. t be has observed. It appears , seeminglv in space—a pale face and dim. Indefinite figure—hovers hair raisingly a mo­ment ano vanishes. Its owner sum­mons if from across the Styx largely by means of luminous paint and ultra­violet rays.

Given Lessons in Magic.

Some ot Doctor M d ' o m a s ' most in­teres t ing work as a psychologist has been concerned with the purported superna tura l . As preparat ion for re­search in this field he had a magician tench him «ome tricks, so that he Might have t better chance to avoid beh.g deceived by char la tans . From t h e late Houdlni he obtained much valuable Information.

Thus armed, he visited spir i tual ists and at tended seances, listened to the . oicp of litttf Laughing Water warn­ing against that contemplated invest­ment and watched the specter of Uncle Jed appear before the staring eyes of Aunt Fmma and the girls.

He saw spiritualist- - who had been Indorsed by Sir A. Connn Onyle ex­hibit their power—and had no hesi­

tancy in pronouncing them rank fakes.

Some of the mediums he found ex­ceedingly lever—too clever for hiru to discover how tney produced their "spirit messages." But none could produce a ghost that he could consider scientifically genuine. And he ra ther fears none ever will.

Strange Marks on Film.

He almost surprised nimself once when he took a photograph of a me­dium at work. For the film, when de­veloped, showed something about the medium that looked like flashes of sj ectral light. Investigation revealed that the s t range marks on the film had been caused by s ta t ic electricity, generated by a ^.li^ht fr ioion when the paper was torn of! the film pack.

Ghost breaking, of course, has been only a part of Doctor McComas' sci­entific activity.

Among the problems In psychology In which Doctor McComas has been interested is that of the numbering" of automobile license plates. In these days of hit-and-run drivers and mo­torized banditry, it often Is..Important to be able to t ake a license number quickly. So the question a ro se : What kind of figure combinations can be rend quickest?

Psychologists, after extensive tests, decided that numerals in an uninter­rupted row were easiest to readi; that a let ter or a dash in the combination slowed perception. It also was deter­mined however, that if rhe numerals were divided by a dash they were re­membered better.

A somewhat similar conclusion was reached in regard to telephone num hers. It was found that operators re­membered fi number better if the sub­scriber paused an instant ID the midst

of the number— in »thei wonts, gave rhe nu. titer i two set- inns .

Doctor McComas is a nat ive Raltl-morean. He a t tended a pr ivate school here, received his B. A. at the J o h n s Hopkins university in 181*7. an M. A. at Columbia university and a I'n, D. a t Harvard .

He is on an Indefinite leave of ab-spnep from Princet. having tor • it necessary because ot the Illness of a relat ive u return to Baltimore las t year to carry on the busines of a coal company. He will continue to de­vote rime to that business, he says, ID add i t ion ' to lecturing at Hopkins.

Bombay.—Diamonds that weep and rubies that cure poisoning are only a ft'w of the many wonderful gems with which India abounds.

Because many of the Inhabitants of India worship jewels as gods, they luive gone to the ends of the ear th a n d made use of any means to collect I lie most remarkable of precious Stones.

Connected with the gems are leg­e n d s and tradit ions, many of which a r e hard to believe, though the peo­p le of India rwallow them whole and a s k for more. There is, for instance, t h e cobra Jewel, several specimens of which may be seen in the Foona dis­t r i c t . 200 miles south of here. Thf Jewel Is supposed to be carried aboul by a cobra, most deudif of snake*.

®

It bus the property of shining in the night. The cobra coils itself near the jewel and feeds' on the toads, mice and insects a t t racted by Its light,_ Aft­er dinner, the cobra swallows the Jew­el again and goes back to his siesta.

The cobra jewel is supposed to be able to cure snake bites. It sticks to the wound only when the bite is pol-roiions. It falls off when t>° poison has been withdrawn from the wound. The jewel Is then washed In cow's milk. A rich Zamfndur of l'oona has such a jewel, which he says bears out the tradit ions a t tached to i t

One of the strangest type of Jewe'9 In India is that which Is credited with the ability to weep. Recently an old necklace belonging to the royal house of Tanjore. South India, was sold In Madras. The purchaser sent If to a Jeweler for resett ing.

The Jeweler found tha t the pendant diamond, which was generally of a.

bluish tint, took on a rosy shade dun ing the course of the day. But when it was put under the direct rays of the sun it turned a deep blue.

The Jeweler put the gem In hi? safe. Later, when he opened the safe, he found It flooded ns with brilliant moon­light. The cotton wool on which he had placed the diamond was wet. AJ» he held the gem. his own hand be­came wet. Water seemed to ooze ou* of the diamond.

THE PINCKNEY DISPATCH

IwoCbrt

By ALFRED SORENSON Drawing by Ray Walters .

NE of the most sensa­tional meetings on the "field of honor" in the United States was the fatal duel between Jon­athan Cilley and William J. Graves. The princi­pals, the seconds, and the four witnesses were all prominent members of congress. At the time of this encounter,

February L'4, 1838, there was no tele­graphic communication, and the news of the day was spread slowly by the r tage coaches, the few railroads and fetcamboats. Rut when the people throughout the country learned of the trn^ic occurrence there arose a general wave of excitement and In­dignation.

Jonathan Cilley, victim of Graves bullet, reptescnted the state of Maine in the national house of representa­tives, and was a very popular and honorable man. He hud made a upeech in which he scathingly criti­cized a charge of corruption which had been brought against some bach­elor congressmen in a letter, published In the New York Courier and Enquir­e r "Jover t h e - s i g n a t u r e of "A Spy t a Washington."

This letter was Indorsed In the editorial columns by James Watson Webb, the editor of the paper, who took offence at Cilley's emphat ic de­nunciation of the author of the anony­mous letter as well as of the general tenor of his speech, and sent him a note demanding an explanation and an apology. Graves, a member of congress from Kentucky, acted as Webb's note bearer. Cilley refused to receive the hostile communication "without making any personal reflec­tion on the charac ter of Webb." Some correspondence followed between Graves and Cilley. resulting in a challenge by Graves, who, as the rep­resentat ive of Webb, thought he was act ing in accordance with the unwrit­ten "code of honor," although there had been no animosity or trouble of any kind between them at any time.

The challenge was accepted and the duel was fought near Washington with rifles, the two men being stat ioned 240 feet apar t . Henry A. Wise, mem­ber of congress from Virginia, acted as second for Gruve?, and George W. Jones, member of congress from Ten­nessee, seconded CUley. The four con­gressmen who were witnesses were Crit tenden and Menefee of Kentucky, Duncan of Ohio, and Bynum of North Carolina.

At the given word Cilley fired first, and almost Instantly Grave? respond­ed. Both missed. A consultation be­tween principals and seconds was now held with a view of ending the affair, but they failed to agree.

Cilley is reported to have said at this conference that he "enter tained the highest respect and most kind feelings for Grave?."

The duelifts resumed their places

and again exchanged shots. Again they shot wide. Graves then demand­ed another round, and once more they fired. This t ime Cilley was shot through the body, and falling to the ground died In a few minutes.

Congress was pimply astounded up­on learning that one of Its most es­teemed members had been shot to death w.ihout Justifiable provocation. An immediate investigatiOD of the af­fair was ordered and a committee of seven members of the house was ap­pointed for that purpose. This com­mittee presented a voluminous report s tat ing, among other things, that " the challenge was given because Mr. Cil­ley declined to accept the note from Colonel Webb, borne by Graves, on grounds which would exonerate Mr. Graves from all responsibility grow­ing out of the affair. This. Mr, Cilley could not do without an admission tha t in his r e m a r k s In the house rela­tive to Colonel Webb he had slandered that gentleman, and he therefore ac­cepted the challenge because the act was indispensable to avoid disgrace to himself, to his family, and to his const i tuents ."

The committee came to the con­clusion that the words spoken by Mr. Cilley In the course of a debate in the hou.se of representa t ives , his refusal to assign any o ther reason for it thau that he did not choose to be drawn Into any difficult in regard to the sub­ject, were the causes that led to the tragedy.

The committee maintained that Graves had commit ted a breach, of the highest consti tut ional privileges of the house and of the most sacred r ights of the people In the person of their representat ive, by demanding in a hos­tile manner an explanation of words spoken in debs te and by being the bearer of such a demand or demand­ing n reason for refusing to receive It.

The committee held that the send­ing of a challenge by one member to another member and killing him in a duel was a still more aggravated breach of the privileges of the house, and was the highest offense that could be committed against e i ther branch of congress, against the freedom of speech in debate , and against the spirit and subs tance of that consti­tutional provision tha t for any speech in ei ther houpe the members shall not be questioned in any other place. "The present case Is without any circum­stance of extenuat ion ," said the com­mittee in its report, which praised Cilley as a man of high character . whose death could* not be excused by any circumstance, whatever, "not even by that custom, the relic of unenlight­ened barbarous ages, which wa? for­merly supposed to be a proof of a de­gree of physical courage, but is in fact a signal monument of the "want of the higher a t t r ibu te of moral cour­age."

Graves was denounced in unmeas­ured terms by the committee who rec­ommended that lie he expelled from the house of representat ives, and that Wise and .Tone?, the seconds in the duel, he censured. Action was fakpn

in accordance with this recommenda­tion.

As to Webb, the Instigator of the duel, the committee decided to leave him "to the chast isement of the course of the law and of public opinion . . . and to consult its own dignity and the public interest by bestowing upon him no further notice."

Webb, by the way, was a man of some political impor tance and hud an active and in teres t ing public career . He wa? born in Claverack, N. Y„ and when a young man he entered the army as a second l ieutenant and served under General Scott in the West for a brief period. He resigned to become editor of the New York Morning Courier, and when that pa­per merged with the Enquirer he was retained by the consolidated Journal— the Courier and Enquirer—and made It the leading Whig organ. In 1K61 t was taken over by the World. Webb served a terra as chief engineer of the s tate of New York and was given the rank of major general . He refused the appointment of minister to Tur­key, but accepted the ortice of minis­ter to Brazil. While in France in 180M. General Webb negotiated a secret treaty with the emperor for the re­moval of French troops from Mexico, which led to the downfall of Maxi­milian.

Webb was himself a duelist, and fought Thomas F. Marshall of Ken­tucky in 1842. The meeting took

I place in Delaware and resulted in the wounding of Webb. Under a New York law making It a felony to give or receive a challenge, he was con­victed and sentenced to two years of imprisonment, but Governor Seward immediately pardoned him. He died in 1884 at the age of eighty-two. Webb was the author of an enter ta ining vol­ume in which he vividly described life and adventures In the Rocky moun­tains. He also wrote a book on "Slav­ery and its Tendencies ." and one on "National Currency."

Working to Compute Mass of the Earth

Dr. Paul It. Hey I of the bureau of s t andards In Washington Is again busy on one of. the most difficult problems in physics—to determine still more ac­curately the constant of gravi tat ion, which, in turn, will enable scientists to measure the weight of the ear th and deduct Its composition.

For several centur ies there have been exper iments in this direction. But only last year Doctor Heyl, after prolonged and most delicate experi­mentation, succeeded in giving to the world a p rec i se . cons tan t of gravita­tion. Now he is bent on even grea ter accuracy. The new observat ions will lie carr ied on in a small laboratory 35 feet underground, so that tempera­ture changes may be moided . as well as the horizontal a t t rac t ing forces of moving objects on the ear th ' s smrface.

It will t ake several months of the most careful work wifth a torsion bal­ance, massive steel cylinders and tiny ;,r!nss balls to comnute and complete the fresh series of observations.

A RAY of light showing for th * * from a s tone l ighthouse at the e n t r a n c e to Boston harbor on the night of September 17, 1716, marked t h e Inaugurat ion of l ighthouse service La America.

Lighted by oil—fish or whale, r a t h e r t h a n by candle, from the very begin­ning, in a wick lamp enclosed by th ick panes of g lass—this "Bos ton" light be­came the pride of New England when, in 1789, i ts power w a s increased to 16 lamps.

Originally, the keeper was paid $230 per annum. Funds for ma in ta in ing t h e light were obtained through the4

Life for this pioneer lighthouse has been far from "a bed of roses." Not only has it successfully withstood the act ions of the elements—a 65-mile gale e x e r t s a pressure of 1U.UU0 pounds to the square Inch and winds of even g rea t e r velocity happen along a t t imes —but It also has hung up a ra re war record. It was twice occupied by the British during the Revolutionary war . T h e Yankees burned all woodwork be­fore permit t ing it to fall into the hands of the enemy, and the Brit lsn rebuilt it, la ter blowing It up before letting It re turn to United S ta tes con­trol . Its exis tence was again In j e o p ardy during the War of 1812.

Modernized af ter a fashion the pres­ent house Is 8¾ feet tall—its walls al­most 8 feet thick at the base. Now equipped with a lOO.UOO candle-power lamp, this pioneer beacon cont inues to perform faithful service seven n ights a week the year round—its two-hundredth anniversary having been celebrated in Boston in Sep­tember, 1910.

Of this light and the watchful and protect ive service it has rendered an exceptionally busy port, America can well and truthfully say, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant ."

LAKE T A H O E — t h a t noble sheet of the blue?t of blue and the green­

est of green water—lies near the sum­mit of the Sierra Nevada mounta ins and s t radd les the boundary line be­tween Nevada and California. It Is t he second deepest lake In America and the largest at t ts a l t i tude, save cne, in all the world.

It has a shore line of some 75 miles, an area of about 200 square miles, with depths ranging from a few feet to a q u a r t e r of a mile and Is over • -000 feet above sea level.

The Indians were the original dis­coverers—Tahoe being Indian for "Big Water ." John C. Fremont , the path­finder, came upon It In 1844.

The rocky shore of the lake Is bor­dered by great forests of cedar and pine trees which are walled In by high peaks, often Rnow covered, some of which pierce the sky to a height of about 11.000 f ee t

T h e greatest and most fascinat ing charm of this "liquid mountain mir­ro r" comes from the r a re and chang­ing beauty as the color combinat ions which make up the picture shift from hour to hour and day to day, accord­ing to the weather and with the com­ing or gotng of the sun, moon and clouds. 'Tls said to have "as many moods as a woman." Mountain shad­ows photograph themselves In Its placid surface and produce fairy like pictures. The grandest view of all, perhaps , comes when the opalescent colors ot approaching sunset chase themselves across its surface and cli­max In an alpine glow.

Now that the ha tching acason Is over ami fert i le eggs a r e no longer needed, every poultry man should re­move all of the ma le birds from his flock. For, says C. S. Pia t t , a s s i s t an t poultry husbandman a t the New Jersey exper iment s ta t ion, t h e produc­tion of fert i le eggs fur marke t pur­poses is never desirable , though it can­not be avoided dur ing the ha tch ing beasou.

On many fa rms the re is a desi re to keep over some of the bet ter cockerels and the tempta t ion is to allow these to remain in the flock. The number re ta ined, however, should be reduced to a minimum by careful selection. When this is done the few that a re Wei t should be segregated. It must be remembered tha t a new crop of cockerels will be reared dur ing t h e coming season and good, vigorous cockerels a re usually bet ter than older birds anyway.

The exception exis ts on those fa rms pract icing pedigree mating. Where this Is done it is absolutely necessary to keep over all of the male birds un­til one knows what their daugh te r s

J have done. A proved male is prac-| tically priceless and as one cannot

de termine In advance exactly what his daughte rs will do it becomes nec­essary to keep the birds over until they have hud a chance to show their abili ty.

Male birds that a re kept should be given plenty of sunshine, green food, and yellow corn. They will not need much animal protein. A free range and whole yellow corn fed twice daily will t ake care of their needs until the next breeding season. If kept con­fined, cod-liver oil should be provided in addition to the corn and green food. One per cent in the grain would provide sullicient oil. Under confined conditions it will also be necessary to be on the watch for lice and mites all of the time. These can be kept under control by painting the roosts with a carbolirieum product and by dusting the birds with sodium fluoride.

Fatten Broilers Before Sending Them to Market

Profitable gains usually will be made by broilers that are fat tened for a period of two weeks before they a re sold. However, one should not expect to fatten broilers for longer than a two weeks' period, as the gains will not be rapid and profits a re likely to disappear. Cockerels should be sepa­rated from the pullets and confined to a small yard. A roosting shed should be provided for the fat tening birds.

A satisfactory mavh mixture for fat­tening broilers is one composed of two par t s of corr.meal and one jiart wheat middlings. Th i s should be mised with milk and fed for fifteen to twenty-minute periods three times daily. A liberal feeding of cracked corn should be given late In the afternoon. If liquid milk is available, it can be kept before the birds during the fat­tening period and no water need he given. Plenty of water should be pro­vided If no milk is fed.

Slow-Feathering Chicks Common in Some Breeds

"Slow feathering or 'naked ' chicks are quite common in general purpose breeds, and sometimes occur in the l ighter breeds ," says Prof. C. W. Car-rick. Purdue university. "Such chicks are usually those tha t lack the vigor necpssury to grow rapidly but chicks may also become s tunted from im­proper feed, chilling, or crowded con­ditions <luring the first few weeks of their lives. ' 'Whatever the cause may be, little can be done to make such chickens profitable. If pullets, they lay poorly and nre likely to he suscep­tible to di>c;i--e. Tliey should be marked with leg bands when five or six week*' old, and marketed as soon us they reach sufficient size, other­wise they may fea ther out slowly and be kept in the flock to produce simi­lar chicks next season."

By constant ly culling out these low-vitali ty chicks, one can pract ical ly el iminate them in tire future offspring.

Good Laying Mash A farmer who raises corn, wheat,

and oats can work them Into a good laying mash. It can consist of 100 pounds of ground corn. UK) pounds of ground oats, 200 pounds of ground wheat and UK) pounds ••! r i-'.if >'T.!p.

Adding 50 pounds of bran to the 5<i0 pounds of mash helps to give it nio'-e Uiik. u hen ground wheat is used in place of bran and middlings.

Prevent Diseases It Is an es tabl ished fact that most

of the tuberculosis in fowls is found | in the oidor birds. When the older j birds are el iminated, the principal I spreaders of tuberculosis nre elimi­nated.

PERSONAL LIBERTYY Arthur G. Staples, veteran editor

of the Lewiston (Maine) Evening Journal, printed in his book. "The Passing Age", the following letter from "A correspondent who seems to have taken some offence at our opin­ion on the duty of good people to obey the law." All will agree that the fllowing is an unusual presentation of the personal liberty theme. To the Editor; You sem to take a good deal of delight in telling other people how to live and perhaps that is your business, but it seems to me that you exceed your duty when you arrogate to yourself the right to inform all of those who may happen to enjoy an occassional drink of'Scotch" on oc cassion. I have been presented a fine bottle of Scotch whiskey for Christ­mas and it is before me as I sit at my typewriter and indite this letter to you. It bears the label of Sandy Mc-Donald-a good, fair, well-bodied liquoi which 1 am assured was bought before the war and has been in my friends' cellar ever since.What right has any form of Law to make rrv- a criminal if I partake of this jrift as it was intended that I do by the giver. I claim that any such law is an invasion of my personal liberty. I notice that you have referred often in your column to the so-called Bill of Rights which secures to all men and women certain inalienable rights to their personal liberty, which as you sayare not inconsistent with the rights of others. How do you recon­cile your statements? I have just tasted of this bottle of liquor, I will confide to you I cannot see where or how I am invading the rights of any other person on earth. I find it excellent. It warms my stomach; It inspires my thought. I cannot feel Mr. Editor, that I have wronged the community or added to the lawless­ness of th? general society in .so do ing. It makes me tired to be classed as a criminal for any such occasion, and I notify you that before long, there will be a revolt against this sort of stuff that you are writing. Just to show my independence of such work as you are writing, I have taken another drink of the aforesaid Sandy McDonald, and I will say to you that it is about as smooth a drink as a Criminal ever put into his sy­stem. The second drink, which I shall soon follow by a third, makes me more certain that those who feci their systems stimulant should get to­gether ;organize and start a campaign to Moor this Volstead business if it can be done. Now Mr. Editor.I am no bum and you can't make me a bum. I like a little drink now and then and I have taken a third or maybe it is a fourth and I am more than concin-cew that anv man thqt doesn't is a big Idot. You say that this evabion of the law is producing a sta6e of affairs in our Grear nand Glorious Country. You are wronh. This ciuntry is jess as good at it ever was was a great deal better country and I will eable it to you iit wasnt8t when we had free rum. I want to say to you that this Secitch is all right. A lo of it wouldn't us harm. When we ened stimulany we need i t My grand-afyer was brought up on rum. They had k in the housd all the time. They drank itfreely and even the minstew drank it when he came to our hoses. It8s a pretty kinf of a cointry when a gradson is beter than his grundfaher. 1 can drink this sort of Scutcg all day and not be no worse a citogen than I was before. I could drink this whole quaet audd nebber quiber anetelash. Bue whay I wneat of yiu is to remund yiu oner agaiaian abd ag nain thqt you arw wronh ib comfeng-ingevert bony whu drils as a bouhm.

"There would be a whole lot lest family trouble and worry over money matters* if every young couple did the

thing early in life," Aunt Bmmy " 'Start young/ is the magic

slogan."
