Hunt for Seals One of Thrills

Giants of Newfoundland Get Ready to Sail on Uncertain Quest. St. John’s, Newfoundland. —Recking little of small profits or disasters, the husky giants of the northern outposts have cast their fortunes again with the sealing fleet that sails away each March to the icefields. They find this annual search for the wealth of the ice pans the chief outlet for a spirit of adventure inherited from their seadog sires of Elizabethan days. Eleven steamers carry the battalion of seal killers this year. Slow and clumsy there men appear as they walk along the waterfront streets, selecting from the shops their scanty requirements fori the voyage—a sheath knife, a steel, a pair of skin boots, a cap with “ears” and little else. Excited as Schoolboys. Their prosaic mien reveals little yther oi agility or thought of adventure, but when the word is passed to cast off and made for sea they are as full of excitement as a crowd of schoolboys, as active as acrobats. They must be active and alert, for sure-focHedness and quickness, to act means life. 1 This year an airplane 'piloted by Colin Caldwell, a Canadian aviator, has been enlisted to operate from the land and help the ship locate the seal herds, first in the gulf St. Lawrence, later on the Northeast coast. Year after year the “main patch” comes out of the North on the breast of the Arctic current. The aviator’s findings are sent to the fleet by radio. Seals, some “square flippers” ten and twelve feet long and weighing as much as 1,500 pounds, others “harps” and “hoods,” whose young weigh as little as 45 pounds, are the game of the hunters. Wide Variation in Profits. Fortunes vary. Last year the shares of men on different ships ranged from SBS to $36.83. The year before It varied fro . $124.66 down to $12.28. depending upon the amount of fat brought into port. The hazards the men run for their uncertain reward include blizzards, treacherous trails and destruction of ships by storm and ice. ip 1898 a

Football Like War in This African Town Tunis.—Stones, guns and -azors play their parts in football in Tunisia. Sporting excitement became so intense during a recent match here that when the whistle ended the game with the score 3 to 3, rooters on both sides charged in battle array. Stones were the favorite missiles. but five revolvers were fired and two razors marked victims.

BIRTHDAYS NOT FORGOTTEN HERE; 4 HAVE SAME DATE

Has Its Drawbacks, However, in Number of Candler Needed for Individual Cakes. ■ ■■■■■ 17 Toledo, Ohio.—The four sons of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Kolinski celebrated their birthday recently. Yet they are not quadruplets. Edward, the eldest, was nineteen; Albin became seventeen, Clarence fifteen and Stanley,/Jr„ thirteen. It is easy to remember a birthday date in the family. But the amazing coincidence has Its drawbacks. The number of candles needed for the inevitable cakes increased by four every year and the cost of 64 candles, such as graced the last party, is not to be flickered at. Then there is the problem of the cakes themselves. It was a simple matter back In J 909. when Edward ap peared. Even in 1912, when Edward was. three «nd Albin one. there wasn't

blizzard brought death to 48 men of tlie crew of ti\e Greenland. In 1914 the Southern Cross, return ing to port, was lost with 173 men. In the same year 77 of the crew of the S. S. Newfoundland were unable to regain their ship when a blizzard overtook them, and next day they were found frozen to death. Such disasters, however, prove no deterrent to this race of men. For generations they have found the call of the frozen seas irresistible. Instrument Warns of; Niagara Ice Forming Niagara Falls, N.»Y.—An intricate machine combining wind-velocity and water-level gauges with a wind-direc-tion finder warns the Niagara Falls Power company 'when ice may be expected to form in the upper Niagara river. The contrivance, invented by Peter Seiler of Niagara Falls, is sheltered on Grass island near the company’s pow er houses above the falls. Impressions made by the three devices are synchronized on a sheet of paper which passes through the machine. The wind-velocity gauge is so constructed that it operates a recording device which prints a red dot on the paper when the wind cups overmad have traversed a mile. A pen, operated by the water-level gauge, records the height of the water above mean tide at Albany, and the wind-direction find er, a weather vane, propels a stamping device with a rubber arrow which always points in the same direction as the vane.

much of it. Mrs. Kolinski had two ckkes to bake. Things began to happen in earnest two years later when Clarence was born. The cake-baking question was assuming proportions. It was becoming so targe, in fact, that the Kolinski home resembled a baker’s establishment. . And then same the climax < Two years after Clarence’s birth came Stanley, Jr„ thus presenting the four-cake problem, which, together with Mrs. Kolinski’s other duties, somewhat complicated matters. There were four white, triple layer cakes, debecked with pink candles, on the dinner table at the last party, however, and hereafter Mrs. Kolinski will make four cakes —one for each of the boys—because some day the£ will drift apart and her baking probably will not be required.

Will on Handkerchief Disposes of Fortune Chicago.—Chinese hieroglyphics on a silk handkerchief 24 inches square disposed of the $25,000 estate of Don Big Ye. The strange will was unearthed by Mitchell O. Robin, clerk of the Probate court, where the will bad been filed two years ago. Don Big Ye was in the chop suey business and invested his savings. Interpreted by a Chinese in court, the will leaves the entire fortune to his young American widow, who now lives in Hongkong. One clause of the will read: “I hope she will be as industrious, economical, faithful and loyal as she can be. She should know that the building up of a fortune Is not an easy task, and that keeping it is still harder.”.

Increased Noise Cuts Work, Inventor Spates B.ooklyn.— Noise is increasing 100 per cent yearly in American cities and causes 20 per cent loss of efficiency to the average office worker, according to Dr. Hiram Percy Maxim, lieutenant, commander in the United States naval reserve, wko is working on plans for silencing riveters, subways and building machinery. ( “I believe the worker who is earning S2O a week could, under quiet conditions, earn $25 a week with no greater expenditure of effort,” he said. “There is no question but that the noise in our cities is a Contributing factor in the increasing number of neurotics and cases of nervous breakdowns.” Doctor Maxim mentioned specifically the noises of traffic, including horns of automobiles, exhaust noises of cars and trucks, the riveting machine, the street car, and pulsating noises of many kinds of machines. All these, he believes, would be eliminated or reduced to a fraction of their present intensity if the public were awakened to what they cost in health and money. Pianist Percy Grainger Engaged to Poetess White Plains, N. Y.—The romance of a noted pianist and composer and a Swedish poet and painter was revealed with announcement of the engagement of Percy Grainger to Miss Ella Viola Strout The romance began on a Pacific linei a year ago when the pianist was returning from his native Australia, he wrote in a letter, asking Mr. and Mrs F. E. Morse, his manager and secre tary, to announce the engagement. It was promoted, he said, by the resemblance of Miss Strom to the family of his mother, since whose death in 1922 he has confessed to a feeling of loneliness and depression. The marriage is expected to take place in August after Miss Strom completes a tour of Europe. The honeymoon will be spent tramping in Gia cier National park, Montana.

Rattlesnake Hunters - Develop New Trade San Angelo, Texas.—Dame Fashion has interfered with a pastime of workers in the oil fields of west Texas. Men who work -about the derricks once delighted in sticks of dynamite or small cans of nitroglycerin into dens of rattlesnakes. But fashion decreed snakeskin shoes and gave the reptiles a commercial value. So the workmen, who have been none too prosperous because of the slump in the oil industry, now drag snakes from the dens with hooked poles and collect the skins, which are dried in the sun and shipped to shoe manufacturing centers, where they bring prices which nicely augment the wages of the laborers. Several hundred rattlesnakes have been found in a single den.

Interest Taken In Poultry T. B. Many States Plan for Control 1 and Eradication of Dread Disease. (Prepared by the United State* Department ot Agriculture.) Tuberculosis in poultry is receiving considerable attention by live-stock interests in many states because of , the danger of transmitting the disease from flock to flock and from poultry to swine. Many states have adopted a working plan for the control and eradication of the disease from poultry and much is being done to combat it Considerable tuberculin testing of flocks has been done, chiefly with the view of determining the possibilities of the test and its value in the cleanup campaign. Limited Survey Made. Incident to the studies inaugurated elsewhere, the United States Department of Agriculture, through its tuberculosis eradication division, made a limited survey to determine the extent of ayian tuberculosis. The purpose of the survey was, principally, to obtain Information relative to the prevalence of the disease in the states believed to be comparatively free. Nine states known tn have a high per cent of infected poultry were not included. Os the remaining 39 states 27 were, found to have some infected poultry; approximately 25 per cent of the 1,874 flocks tested were found to have some infection. More than 85,000 birds were tested, resulting in more than 9,300 reactors being obtained. Examination of Flocks. The usual physical examination of farm flocks Incident to the tuberculin testing of the cattle was continued by the field men. During the fiscal year 1927 inspections were made of more than 211,600 flocks, containing over 16,500,000 birds. This gross inspection indicated nearly 6 per cent of flock infection in the states covered. It is believed, says Doctor Wight, acting chief of the tuberculosis eradication division, that under the plans now in effect, and with the work being conducted simultaneously with the testing of cattle, marked progress will be reported In the near future. Plan for Keeping Crows From Ravaging Crops Following is the best method of keeping crows from ravaging crops: Make a paste of one ounce of powdered strychnine, two tablespoonfuls of starch and one ana one-half pints of water, putting the starch and strychnine into the water, which is heated to boiling, and stirring well when the starch begins to thicken. This amount of paste is poured onto twenty quarts of corn and stirred into it until the poison Is thoroughly mixed with the corn. , 1 A little of this poisoned coj-n scattered over the field will kill a few crows and the rest will take warning and leave. Using whole corn for bai? lessens the danger of poisoning smallei seed-eating birds. Care should be taken not to scatter the poisoned corn near buildings where domestic fowls or animals will pick it up. It Is always advisable before using this method to look up laws and local regulations regarding the- distribution of poison. Local conditions may modify practices a great deal, especially in thickly populated districts. Extra Fine Alfalfa May Contain Much Protein Extra fine quality alfalfa hay may contain one-third more protein than wheat bran, while poor quality alfalfa hay may contain one-third less than wheat bran. The first cutting of alfalfa has, as a rule, a smaller proportion of leaves than the later cuttings, and the last cutting usually has the highest proportion of leaves. The leaves contain from 20 to 25 per cent of protein, while the stems contain from 6 to 10 per cent. Exposure of hay to rain during cur- . ing may result in the loss of one-third of the protein of alfalfa hay. This greatly reduces the quality of the hay, and then, too, one oi the least valuable nutrients, the prude fiber, is little affected by rain am' thus forms a larger proportion of the hay. Agricultural Hints Guard against dogs and predatory animals. • • • Alfalfa or clover hay should be supplied to pigs being fattened in the dry lot ♦ • • Keep the sheep off low, wet land. Provide shelter in winter and shade in summer. •* * . Sweet clover is a special purpose, legume, especially adapted to soil improvement and rotatipn pastures. • • • Farmers shouldn’t buy feed at retail if they sell milk at wholesale. • • • The Savoy catfbage is highly es-. teemed by many and is superior in flavor'to most as the drumhead type.’ • • • The silo is a real enemy of the corn borer. When corn is put in the silo, any borers it contains never come out alive. • • • While feeding and housing are very important factors in securing better egg production, it is fundamentally a matter of breeding. ; • • • Exercise pregnant ewes whenever weather permits. Dip the whole flock at least once a year to keep it free, from ticks and lice. • • • Burning over pastures and meadows to get rid of weeds and old trash does not pay, it injures the grass roots and removes desirable humus. • • • ‘ Sowing the onion seeds where they are to remain to grow Into plants is the way to make this crop profitable for the seedlings are expensive to buy.

New Rubber Source That the euphorbia tree, heretofore considered as merely* a bearer of latex and resins, will produce rubber, is the claim of a German chemist. He says that by his process three gallons of a latex having a high rubber content were extracted from 20 trees in two hours. A by-produA of resins suitable for varnishes was also found. Samples of the rubber were sent to this country and England recently. The tree is prolific in southern Africa.

Knee Bones Said to Tell Age of Mummies The age ot a mummy 3.000 years old can be determined by the condition of the bones in the knee, according to T. Wingate Todd of the departmenl of anatomy. Western Reserve university. , “Ages up to twenty-seven may be determined with great accuracy by an examination of the skeleton,” Todd said. “From that age up to fifty errors may run as high as three years and from fifty to seventy, accuracy is limited to a five-year period.” Knee Joints, he declared, compose one of the most accurate indicators of age. Todd gave the ages of twenty-three, forty-two, and seventy-two ’years as the most dangerous ages in a man’s life. These years, he explained, are the peaks at which death is likely from ailments to which men are most susceptible at the different periods of their lives.

What Dr. Caldwell Learned ; in 47 Years Practice ; ;

Dr. Caldwell watched the results of constipation for 47 years, and believed that no matter how careful people are of their health, diet and exercise, constipation will occur from time to time regardless of how much one tries to avoid it. Os next importance, then, is how to treat it when it comes. Dr. Caldwell always was in favor of getting as close to nature hs possible, hence his remedy far constipation, known as Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, is a mild vegetable compound. It cannot harm the most delicate system and is not a habit forming preparation. Syrup Pepsin is pleasant-tasting, and youngsters love it. It does not gripe. Thousands of mothers have written us to that effect Dr. Caldwell did not approve of drastic physics and purges. He did not believe they were good for human beings to put into their system. In a practice of 47 years he never saw any reason for their use when a medicine like Syrup Pepsin will empty the bowels just as promptly, more cleanly and gently, without griping and harm to the system. Keep free from constipation! It robs your strength, hardens your arteries and brings on premature old age. Do not let a day go by without a bowel movement. Do not sit and hope, but go to a druggist and get one of the generous bottles of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. Take the proper dose that night and by morning you
