Demand For Cow Testers Increases 1 Judging from tho requests which t are luring received for assistance from e dairymen in various parts of the r jutnle to organise cow testing asso- 1 I' lathing, tho interest in weeding out ' unprofitable cows and feeding tho re- ' winder for larger production is ' •steadily Increasing. At the present time there aro 29 ‘ associations In operation. Two more 1 are ready to begin work as soon as ' qualified testers can be secured, and 1 severu moro have Intimated their de- 1 sire to organize early in tho now : year, G. A. Williams of the dairy ex- 1 tension staff of Puril le university in charge of cow testing work. The demavd for qualified testers is steadily increasing. Young men who have had some experience on , dairy farms and are interested in the work cannot sp-nd one or two years moro profitably than visiting 26 herds each mouth, figuring rations, making recommendations on feeding and ■ other questions relating to the dairy industry. This brings the tester in touch with the best herds in the community and affords a wide experience. This experience trains him for various other lines of work, such as • herdman, fieldman for creameries, . milk plants, etc., for salesmen for i manufacturers of daily equipment. Purdue riQvi-H 7>- offers courses . of instruction from time io time preparing men for this work. Testing j milk and cream, feeding, and management of the milking herd, balancing rations, calf raising, as well as many other questions pertaining to the care of dairy dattle aro among the questions discussed. AH associations are organized for one year so that the tester is sure of | steady work. As there are never more than 26 herds in an association. . he does not work on Sundays. He re- • ceives his salary at the end of each , month. , Any unmarried man, preferably . those who are higli school graduates, interested in doing testing work and who desire to qualify should write the Dairy Extension Department, f Purdue University, Lafayette, lud. —o — Fellow Craft degree will be conferred at 7:30 o'clock tonight. All members are urged to attend the meet ing. John Dickerson, W. M. r t

Divorce Insurance For Women Is Urged By Notec Danish Feminist Writer iot enhagen (1 ilted I Teas t —A n V ill -I ill ' '"'in- vigorously agitated by Mrs. Karin Michaelis, one of the lo st known women writers of Denmark. She predicts that iu time her system "ill he adopted in all civilized comi*ries. Tlie plan promises to make divorce a mucli more pleasant business. The husband would be relieved of the obligation of paying alimony and the wife gaining her freedom would not have to begin a lonely struggle of providing for herself. “It is all very simple”, Mrs. Michaelis explained to the United Kress correspondent. “Under my system a girl child, at birth, would be insured by hei father against divorce. Such an insurance policy should he very cheap. When the girl marries her husband would assume the obligation of paying tin* premiums.

nua! Interest, according to the size of the policy which, taken out by her father, would naturally correspond to | the family's social position. If, however, the marriage is successful and continues happily, the money spent on premiums would not bo lost. The divorce policy would automatically lie transformed Into a life insurance policy. Mrs. MichaelU says that tho mayor of Y'ienna lias assured her of his support of she scheme anil that there is considerable backing for it in Austria. Statistics both in Germany and Austria are deeply Interested in its possibilities and are studying methods under which it might operate. She expects that before very long the plan will be given serious consideration In both of these countries.

"Children born to par«n‘ , who are cigarette smokers are of a nervous typo and will in the future fill to overflowing our asylums for the it utie.'' Cigarette consumption In the United States has Increased nearly 200 percent In the last 10 years, and Dr. Kress attributes much of till- to the adoption of smoking by women. “Queen Marie -mokes, it is ri'crted and whether true or not, this will tend to increase materially the use of cigarettes by a certain type of women who take up tho habit innocently, just as they have adopted other popular customs, such as short skirts uml bobbed hair. "There is an Inborn desire on the part of young people to do things out of the ordinary merely to be odd, without considering the consequences uml they seldom count the cost." Dr. Kress said scientific studies have shown women are more subject to ! “tobacco heart” than men; the cigarette smoking Injuries the melody < 1 tlie voice; mars beauty of contence and iu time tuns the skiu or “pickles" . it. “When the woman cigarette smoker , reaches the age of 60 she is almost , certain to have a shriveled up skin aud I ail expressionless countenance.
