All rights of republication of Special dispatches herein are also reserved, i - , Young People and the Farm ! Young people are staying on the farm in increasingly large numbers because conditions there are becoming satisfactory and alluring, say experts who have made a study of this problem. Domestic science and vocational courses in the rural schools are a big contributoryf actor, while radio, universities, business methods in farming, and co-operative organizations for buying and selling are other elements that have been noted. The younger farm generation now is receiv-
jing just recognition, declares P. W. Barnes, of
the Ohio marketing division, who has given this
.phase of the issue attention. He said:
"The training of young people on the farm
i along broader lines than those followed by their
; forefathers now begins during common school
and is not held off until they break away from
;the parental home, after becoming a legal age
Marvin continues : "If the fathers and moth
ers of the young people on the farm were to talk and speak from the pages of their own experience, they would say that in past generations the boy or the girl on the farm grew up in home
environments which were rather narrow. Fath
ers, as a. rule, taught their sons agricultural methods hat, in turn, had been handed down to them. The boy received only such information as the paiaBnt saw fit to give him, in the light of the rule viihich he himself followed. "Nor ras the girl more fortunate. Shs learned the: essentials of household work in ac
cordance cith the teachings of her mother. It was considered unnecessary to inaugurate new
methods. Hard labor, from the rising of the
sun until its going down, six days a week, with an over-measure of chores on Sunday, was the lot
of both the boys and girls. The naturally keen
edge of power for improvement was dulled
through lack: of opportunity to use it.
"There "was but one natural effect to follow
all of this. Young people on the farms sought a change anul the lure of town took them away
in constantly" increasing numbers. Ambitions and inspirations were hampered and they were driven into-the city, where it was felt their only limitations were their own ability. Many
Lachieved mar i red success. Others ran into dull
ing failure. B ut it all had one lasting and beneficial effect; .uiany fathers, through the fear of losing their ch ildren, were awakened into a consideration of o her means of rearing. "Much of th e transformation which has come to the young pa ople on the farm goes to the universities with tl leir corn, pig and canning clubs, the extension work reaching into all rural communities, and tho short winter course in agriculture and domesti z science. "Many fathers now are realizing upon the achievements of their sons, through increased
output and lan re r income. The mothers also
have felt the efftin a most advantageous way,
When a Feller Needs a Friend
New Styles in Pets Fashions Change as Frequently as House Furnishings and Clothes, Says Investigator of Domesticated Animals.
By FUEDEIUCK J. IIASK.IX WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 2. Fashions in pets change these days almost as frequently as in house furishings and clothes. If you -want to be In style this year you must have some- ' thing bizarre about the house, such as a snake or a pelican or a skunk. ,The reign of the lap dog seems to be over, and the animal dealers of our big cities are now hard pressed to supply an ever-increasing demand for wierd and exotic household pets to take its place. Pet raccoons have not yet appeared
on the promenade in Riverside Drive, but a New York animal dealer reports that already these magnificent little animals are nsurping the place of th-3 apartment dog. They are given all the freedom, comfort and attention ot their predecessors, except that instead of being led along by a leash they take their afternoon constitutional in exclusive quiet on the roof.. That unsocial little animal remotely related to the racoon the skunk i3 also being domesticated with surprising success by city dwellers. With its ccent bag removed, it is said to make a charming pet, its disposition being more amiable than that of most poodles, -while Its striking black and white coat is considered a valuable asset to interior decoration.
Boa constrictors are also becoming
fashionable. . Eight of these formidable
: looking reptiles have recently been sold to private families in New York
-who intend to make pets or them, ui
course, they are not the unwieldly,
30-foot boa constrictors, sucn as terrorize the natives of South America, but are of modest size, measuring only seven feet or so. According to the
animal dealers, boa constrictors are
excellent pets, as they are exceptional
ly clean and absolutely amiable if properly handled. There is an Englishman who possesses such a pleasant boa
constrictor that he gives it the free
dom of the dining room in his home,
where it is said to enjoy coiling it sen
around the legs of the dining table So far as is known, however, all New Yorkers owning euch reptiles keer
them in strong glass cases and do not
invite them to dinner, but pass their
food to thri through a little door Dainty Little Pocket Monkeys.
One of the most pofular of the new
' pets is the marmosette, or pocket monJ key, which measures from four to six
" inches, weighs only seven or eight
: ounces, and' can be conveniently car-
; ried about in a pocket or handbag. This ; little creature can be taught to do all
I manner of clever tricks, but it is usu-
i allv viciously unfriendly toward every-
; body but its master or mistress, and as (' its bite is poisonous it is advisable to
brush its teeth every cay.
; Gaily colored parrots and parrakeets started the vogue for strange birds a:
pots last year, which probably account
for the present popularity of pelicans
' Dealers in various cities have recent
ly reported a crowing demand for
- these birds, as well as for some of th
brilliant South American birds, lik
the Brazilian cardinal and the troupial
l Crows and ravens are also said to be replacing canaries in the drawing
I room. Crows when taken young in ! life become very tame and lovable, ! and they can often be taught to talk ; as amusingly as a parrot. I It is also considered much smarter ; to keep a wildcat now than an Angora ; Common cats are out of the questing altogether; they must either be got ; rid of or kept out of sight like milady's gowns of three years ago. llf possible - one should visit South America or Mexico and return with a wildcat, so Z that one's photograph may appear in Z the pictorial supplements, but If this J cannot be arranged a wildcat should I by all means bo secured through a 1 dealer. The Margay cat or Long-tailed cat of South America Is a good choice, 2 as it has a striking color scheme, be5 ing grizzly brown or reddish -with ' black spots and rings. It is also said'
to- yield gracefully to domestication
- something is rare among the -wildcat species.
Another picturesque pet from South
America which is being widely adopted by city dwellers is the coati, a close " relative of our own North American t i raccoon. It has the same beautiful coat, an even bpshler tail and a Strang-ly-rnobfle nose Chat can be twisted, extended, contracted or made rigid at r will. The coati is easily tamed and be ' come3 devotedly attached to its homa " ; and master. According to one dealer," ' i who owns such an animal, it is -the ' most Interesting and amusing pet ho I has ever had, keeping him, he says, 4 -- :
constantly entertained by its ridiculous
antics. Some people who like pocket pets have adopted pocket mice, which oddly shaped little animals are now being imported from the southwestern states to supply the demand for novelties in the metropolitan pet markets. The pocket mouse is fawn colored above and white below, with fine, silky fur and large, lustrous eyes. But its head is so large in proportion to its small body, its hind legs so enormous compared to is. diminutive feet, and
its tufted tail so unexpectedly long that
it has a very droll appearance. It isj said to be an affectionate and agreeable companion, except for its habits
which cause it to be very active at
night and to sleep during the day. It
can be induced to change this unfortunate custom, however, if it is fed in the daytime and food is not left in its cage at night.
Women seem to be losing all their
traditional fear of mice, if one may
judge by the heavy demand for these
creatures at the pet shops. Waltzing
mice, especially have lately become almost as popular as goldfish. Nature played a cruel joke on these little rodents, making it impossible for
them to travel in a straight line. They
are able to move forward only in diz
zy circles, taking two steps backward
for every three forward. Even when eating these mice do not seem able tl
cease their quivering St. Vitus dance
motion.
In some cases novel pets can be
trained to be extremely useful. Thus, one man who kept a Mygale spider for a pet, trained it to live among the cur
tains of his bed and rid him of flies
ana mosquitoes which would other
wise have disturbed his sumbers.
Chamelions are also to be recom
mended as attractive household Dets
to people who are troubled with cock
roaches. These curious lizards nre-
fer flies, but they will gladly accept
a straight cockroach diet after the fly
season is over. Although they have a rather alarming aDoearance with
their large google eyes and long, sticky tongues, they possess a gentle disposi-
uon except where pestiferous insects are concerned. Moreover, as evervona
knows, these extraordinary creatures
are able to adapt their colors to their
environments, so that they would never interfere with the color schema of a room.
But there are come people who pre
fer cockroaches to chamelions and, incrediable as it may seem, even these annoying insects can be trained to be affectionate pets. Dr. L. O. Howard of the United States Bureau of Entomology, has had remarkable, success along this line.
"A croton bug," he writes, "of the usual, inquisitive form, of mind, Inhabited my desk, and as soon as I laid down my cigar upon the edge of the drawer Jie little fellow invariably came out of his biding- place and worked vigorously ct the moist end. At first, ho was after the moisture, but later the tobacco taste grew and he became as much addicted to the habit as the most inveterate tobacco user. It may be worth mentioning that it seemed to have no deleterious effect
upon his health."

RESPECTABILITY There is no more inglorious place behind which to : hide than the silk hat of the world. And yet it is rare not to runacross somebody each day who takes pride in boasting of his respectability. If it came to a show-down, I would much prefer to be honest and happy than to be merely respectable. For respectability has come to mean, in many cases, a cloak that hides the finest impulses of the human being. What could be more respectable than to be honest, sincere, expressive even in the face of much adverse criticism? In my humble opinion, people spend too much time on their respectability, and too little time on improving their inate worth. Respectability isn't anything to worry about. It's a natural sequence to wholesome living and thinking. Clothes do not necessarily make you respectable. Nor does fame nor great distinction. For respectability is a soul quality that cannot be tampered with if it would remain clean and virgin. Thank God, the old-time sort of respectability is dying out that sort which excused viciousness because it "had a lot of money" or was "the leading figure in the town." You are respectable if you do not cheat yourself, if you do not clip your ideals and make of your character a pieced-up affair. My idea of a respectable man is he who considers most the feelings of others, who does not chain his personality to some decayed custom and who is not afraid to assert his honest beliefs, who respects the opinion of all and honors every sincere effort put forth to make this world better. I can think of no higher type of respectable human being than the one who is most unselfish.
