t THE i WOOING OF f | KATE' | <® by D. J. Walsh » WHENEVER I consider what young Sterling Evermore went through, in order to woo and win my uieee Kate 1 realize that times have not changed very much since the ordeal oy fire. He invariably arrived at our summer cottage five miles from the village where the train stopped, driving the only vehicle for hire—a runabout which promised instant dissolution, and thik fas- especial week-end visit he idded a final swoop and clatter as the car hit the rural mailbox at our gate and then sagged into temporary harmlessness. Sterling leaped out and surveyed the collapse of our postal arrangements. “Terribly sorry,” he stammered as he strode toward the porch where Agatha and Henry and I sat, with Kate just emerging through the door. “Doesn’t matter at all.” lied Henry, the perfect host, as he shook hands. Sterling blushed still harder when Kate looked up at him and completed <his rout. Ktue is slight and little with real gold hair and the corners of her red mouth curl upward. She turned her smile on her mother. “I forgot to tell you Sterling was •coming.” she murmured. “But it’s all right, isn’t it. mother?” “Most certainly,” said • Agatha, because she couldn’t say anything else. There were not enough chops and the guestroom blankets were at the laun •dry and besides this Henry was terribly perturbed at the idea ol Kate being grown up enough to have devoted young men. * “1 won’t have it 1” he told Agatha in the living room and then slunk away before her. sardonic eye, which asked how he was going to stop it. “Oooh!” cried Kate from the porch, •clapping a hand to one eye. Sterling had tossed her a felt hat as they started for a ride and rhe rim had •flicked her face. “It’s nothing!” she •Insisted when the family surrounded her. “No, it doesn’t hurt—much I” “Wouldn’t you know it?” Henry growled when the two departed. Sterling solicitously guiding , his temporarily one-eyed love toward the machine. “Domes all the way up here to •blind her because he Is so fond of her! •One chance tn a million of hitting the mark and he hits it! 1 tell you 1 •won't have it!” Some time later the runabout approached the cottage wi s h a vague air •of being an ambulance and when Kate and her cavalier entered she wore one eye bandaged and black patched and between them they bore sundry bottles. Sterling was pale and anxious. “It got worse,” he informed us. “We hunted up ar eye doctor and he said the eyeball is scratched!” “Os course it is!” Henry said tempestuously. with an awful glance at his child’s suitor, drawing her to his side as though away from contaminatidn. “Father!” the sufferer spoke up sternly, one-eyed though she was. “As though Sterling meant to do it.” Very shortly after, Kate being tn her .oom to rest. Sterling said he thought he’d take a little walk in the woods, where it was quiet. Avoiding the front porch, where Henry fumed, Sterling, with the lumbering stealth of a Newfoundland puppy, slipped out the rear way and, once on the kitchen porch, drew a breath of relief and stepped down. Farther than he had •expected—for the workman, just finishing the job of the new back steps in cement, had at the moment gone around the house to pick up the lumber for a barricade against the mushlike stuff. ■’ He was through with a back-breaking task. He returned at the instant when Sterling’s right foot was ankle deep in the top step and his left had scraped and slid down the others to the ground. The ruin was thorough. ‘Sterling! Are you hurt?” cried Kate, managing in her rose lounging robe to look quite lovely In spite of her one eye. “Look at those steps!” cried Henry, who was paying sl2 o day for them. ‘He’s jarred off the cream pie I set on the lattice to cool I” accused the cook, standing over the jumbled meringue with a grim air of its being a climax tn her life. “The dinner dessert!” Assisted by Henry and the cement worker. Sterling got to bis feet, brushing futilely at his besmeared clothing, his face crimson with helpless wrath. “If you try to wash it off,” the cement worker told him, with lively satisfaction. “it’ll harden onto the goods, and if you let it alone it’ll harden, anyway! .ain’t it too bad!” But Kate did remove considerable of it, for we found It later hardened ■onto the floor and the washbowl and nil available surfaces. It was also entwined in the bristles of Henry’s pet English nail brush and in the fabric

Breakneck Rail Speed in the Belgian Congo

Late in June 1 boarded the train that leaves Cape Town twice a week on the longest railway journey in" Africa. • For nearly 3,000 miles this train carries you northward. Through the vines and orchards of the I’aari. Across the brown wastes of the Karro und Bechuanaland. Past gray clouds aeninst a crawling line of fire—the “sounding smok£’ of Victoria falls at dawn. Still northward through the bush of northern Rhodesia. Beyond the last* British outpost at Ndola. On the fifth evening you reach the Belgian Congo frontier station of Sakania. where you must leave the clean Rhodesian train and take your sent in the grimy Chemin de Fer du Katanga. Compartments in the Belgian train were furnished richly with curtains and tapestried walls. The wash basins were so small that a ham-fisted man could not have washed both bands m once. Above my seat I found a io t ■ e in I’rench and Flemish;

of Agatha’s beet towels. Young lovt is ruthless. Hostilities were abruptly closed when the explosion occurred in the kitchen. When we reached there sc many things seemed on fire simul taneously that nobody said anything We worked. Sterling’s white flannels that he had >n. his other trousers sptead on the ironing board, the tea towels on their rack and a pile of newspapers all were blazing merrily. On the floor lay the remains of the big gasoline flatiron. “I—l thought,” Sterling explained jerkily as we grabbed and beat and stamped, “that i wouirt not bother any one. I thought I could manage that fool iron if I could run a car.” “Well.” Agatha gasped, crumpling the charred remains ot six perfectly new tea towels. “I believe the—ek — fundamental idea is slightly different. Now I’ll try to find you something of Henry’s to put on.” “Not my new suit!" Henry roared grimly. “I’m depending on the suit for the next six months." {n Henry’s golf rig. Sterling being six inches taller than his host and broader, the boy looked nervously unhappy Kate, still indignantly seething, suggested a ride. “I suppose.” she addressed her male parent loftily, “that Sterling may take your old green swearer? He forgot his.” “He would,” admitted Henry with bitter promptness. “Oh. by all means. ta£e it.” The runabout coughed and roared itself away and Henry sat with his dropped magazine, thinking. “1 can’t get used to it." he said. “With many other girls in rhe world—why did he have to pick on her? Where are my reading glasses? s Funny how things disai>pear when that boy is around! No. I’ve looked everywhere! I can’t read a word without ’em!” The two finally returned. Walking in very close together with clasped hands. the in their faces completely obscured the black patch Kate still wore over one eye In spite of Henry’s golf ’ suit. Sterling looked very handsome. “Oh. mother,” Kate faltered, “we—” “Mr. Turbot.” Sterling began in the tone a young man uses but on one occasion in his life, “I--we —” I must say that Henry rises to a crisis. Walking over to the two, he clapped Sterling on the shoulder. “I knew it!" he admitted bravely. “Well, son, it’s all right if she cares for you! It’s come kind of sudden—if only I could find my glasses.” “Oh!” breathed Kate with a remembering gasp, turning a gaze of complete adoration on Sterling, “the sweater.” From under his arm he produced it. He lost his conquering look. “There seemed to be something in the pocket wh •> 1 sat down on it in the car.” he explained, hurriedly. “It —er —it was a pair of glasses. They —well, they’re quite smashed!” “Os course they are.” said Henry resignedly. He had accepted fate. Coffee and Revolution Companions in History One writer points out that “whatever may be said about causes and circumstances, the French revolution was not brought about until coffee as well as philosophy had come to Paris” And. had he known of it. doubtless he would have found further significance in certain events in our own country. It was no other than a coffee house —the famous Burns coffee hotise. which once stood on rhe west side of Broadway just north of Bowling Green—that afforded a meeting place on October 31. 1765. for the rebellious merchants who adopted resolutions to import no more British goods until rhe stamp act should he repealed Moreover. it was in the Green Dragon, most celebrated of Boston’s coffee house taverns, that Paul Revere and John Adams. Warren and James Otis, met for those conferences so fraught with consequence in 1776 of the War of Independence.—New York Herald Tribune. Risky “Wpy didn’t you put out your hand when you turned the comer?” demanded the motorist. “Well, you see.” replied the flapper motorist. ‘l’ve just been out with Jack, and he gave me the most thrilling diamond ring—isn’t it a beauty?— and I knew only too well that if I put out mv hand the headlights c.f the car behind would shine on the diamond and dazzle the driver, and then absolutely anything might have happened, mightn’t it?" Caustic Humor In the early days, says an article tn the New York Times, no one would presume to cry any sort of goods, unless he was licensed by rhe selectman. The old town crier lived by his wits. Old Wilson had an ingenious flow of language. Once he announced 8 Fourth ot July dinner in Charlestown. Certain citizens pestered him with inquiries as to the bill of fare. His answer was: “The dinner will be ample, with a pig at every plate.”

“In this country the mosquito is the chief enemy. Have you taken your quinine today? If not, do so now Beware of the tsetse fly!” Very soon I discovered a danger greater than mosquito or tsetse. All trains tn the Congo qre driven by fearless black maniacs. They rattle through the forest, taking steep descents and rickety bridges without slackening speed. When the line was first opened, the engine drivers were white men. They drank so much that natives had to he found to take their places. I am not sure, however, that a whisky-inspired European would not be safer than the sober demons who now control the trains of the Katanga. All night the nerve-shattering scream of the whistle was heard. The vanity of a black driver Is such that he will not pass the smallest cluster of huts without this manifestation of the high estate to which *be has risen —Lawrelce G. Green in the Empire Review.

CURBING RABBIT APPETITES HARD Rodents Nibble atFruit Trees and Alfalfa Crop. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) “An everlasting appetite with four legs to carry it around,” was the description a western farmer gave in referring to jack rabbits that had been nibbling young fruit trees in his orchard and mowing his carefully-irri-gated alfalfa. The rabbit’s healthy'appetite ,is one of its weaknesses as well, for in winter when much of its food is covered with snow, the jack rabbit will eat alfalfa hay or rye heads poisoned according to methods worked out by the biological survey of the United States Department of Agriculture. In community poisoning operations great quantities of this bait are mixed at central points and distributed to farmers, who take responsibility for spreading the poisoned food in localities where the “jacks” congregate. Elsewhere farmers have gathered to “drive” the rabbits over large stretches of territory, with lines of men advancing and scaring them toward a central corral made of rabbit-proof fence, with V-shaped wings to direct the rabbits toward the place of slaughter. Jack-rabbit meat has not been considered good for much except as poultry feed. Recently, however, a demand has grown for rabbit pelts, which are used in the manufacture of felt hats. Some men have become expert and can skin about 200 rabbits a day. The skins sell on the average of about 75 cents a pound, or 10 cents each, so that when the supply is ample, result of a “drive” or of poisoning operations, a man can make good wages at the game. Other methods of rabbit disposal include wholesale shooting by individuals or by organized groups, such as gun clubs or farmers’ organizations. Hogs and Apple Trees Are Good Combination Some time ago the question was asked as to best means for protecting apple trees in an orchard where hogs were to be pastured. Years ago when in charge of a stock farm where we had a number of brood sows there was also an old orchard and wishing to clear out the railroad worms and give the hogs the benefit of grass feeding we plowed between the trees and after sowing rape, clover and barley turned in the hogs, writes G. M. Twitchell of Maine in the Rural New Yorker. They ran there until cold weather with no trouble to the trees simply for the reason that every day, with some corn in my pocket and a hoe in my hand, I went over that orchard and if there were any signs of an approach to injury on trunk or roots I lifted the sod elsewhere and scattered a little corn to toll away. It required a few minutes daily, but at the end not a tree had been injured, the. fruit was greatly improved, and the trees brought back to far better condition. Had the hogs once got at work on a tree probably it would have been difficult to check them afterwards, but looking after them daily, and tolling <iway from any sign of overwork about a tree • saved from all injury. This with plenty of growing rape, clover and barley kept them contented and rapid growth was insured. Standard Appls Package Is Most Practical Plan There is a persistent feeling among growers that a standard package should be adopted, at least son each main producing section, and the use of other types discouraged or prohibited. Suppose we consider a few of the most largely used packages, their advantages and disadvantages. 1. The barrel is the best known standard for apple measure. It is quickly packed, requires fewer expert workers, is easily loaded, stored and transported, is a comparatively cheap package and is consequently the most economical package in which to supply apples to the general market. Firm varieties like Baldwin, Greening and York can be packed in barrels so that the retailer will often pay as much per pound for the apples as if packed in other packages. On the other hand the proper filling and heading of a barrel is expert work is too often roughly done, much of the fruit being ruined and the pack unfit for the best trade. For the more tender varieties it has proved to be too large a package to carry the fruit without excessive injury, or to be displayed and handled bv the retailer. Wraps Save Apples Adam McWilliam, Stark county. Illinois, last fall wrapped every apple in oiled paper before he put it into storage for the winter. The oiled wraps are inexpensive, easily used, and prolong the period apples may be kept by reducing the loss Os moisture from the surface, and preventing rots from spreading. These are important considerations in the storage of apples on the farm where storage quarters usually are both warmer and drier than they should be. Paradichlorobenzene Paradichlorobenzene is a white crystalline material, insoluble in water, and possesses a characteristic odor somewhat resembling that of ether, which is Irritating to the mucous membrane of the nose. Crystals of about the fineness of granulated sugar have been found most satisfactory for peach borer control. They vaporize slowly at ordinary temperature. Temperature and moisture greatly influence the rate of evaporation of paradichlorobenzene crystals.

wcy CHICKEN HOUSES NEED IMPROVING Lack of Light or Ventilation Discourages Hens. Many old poultry houses are lacking in light or ventilation or both. Where ample light is already provided through windows but ventilation is inadequate, it is often best to remove the upper sash of the windows. If there are not enough windows, additional openings should be cut in the upper part of the front wall. “Under Kansas conditions it is desirable to make these openings equal to about one-tenth of the floor space. Hail screen over these openings will serve to keep the poultry in and rodents out,” suggests Walter G. Ward extension architect, Kansas State Agricultural college, in giving hints on improving the old poultry house. “Frames covered with a light weight of muslin may be provided in the front openings to protect the flock during very cold or stormy weather.’ Many old chicken houses are unnecessarily high and are very cold during the winter months, continues the building specialist? He says a simple remedy is to construct a straw ceiling or loft. The straw Is preferably carried on inch mesh poultry netting. For supports 2x4 inch cross ties placed every 4 feet will be practical. About 1 foot of loose straw is placed on tlie netting and small openings in each end above the straw serve to keep it dry. The straw is left in the poultry house throughout the year. Find Sour Milk Good Ingredient of Protein Sour skim milk in unlimited quantities gives a higher total and average egg production, higher profit over feed cost, and produced eggs at a lower feed cost than semi-solid buttermilk dried buttermilk, meat scrap or sour skim milk whey. The dried buttermilk and semi-solid bititermilk pens gave a smaller percentage of large eggs and a larger percentage of small eggs than did the Sour skim iiyilk pen. Some skim milk whey .is inferior to the other feeds in every way. Tne dried buttermilk pen gives the highest hatch ability. A comparison of semi-solid and dried buttermilk shows the semi-solid pen gives higher per cent production and eggs per pullet. The dried pen. however, gives slightly higher yearly average profit over feed cost per pulfeed cost per dozen eggs anck higher hatchability. The results of experiments indicate that a vegetable protein supplement to sour skimmed milk, such as peameal alfalfa meal, and beanmeal, is productive and profitable. In production and profit over feed cost, the supplements ranked: Peameal, alfalfa meal, bean meal, then no supplement. Poultry Hints Shut up or sell male birds. • * * Cleanliness is the best preventive ot poultry diseases. • * • Brooder houses should be placet where the drainage is good. • * • Store the eggs in a cool cellar If possible. Market them twice a week Feed poultry yellow corn, cod-livei oil, leafy feeds for vitamines • * * Young chicks should be encouraged to roost at an early age. The chicks will become accustomed to roosting if a low roost which slopes from the floor back of the hover to the rear o! the house is provided. *. * * What kind of eggs are going t< market this summer? Demand sot them may be increased by proper care Be sure the hens have plenty of clean airy nests well filled with litter —on< nest for every five or six hens. * * * Round out the corners of the brooder house to keep the chicks from crowding. Artificial brooding of - nvolves the problems of providing a suitable shelter for them on ground which is free from worm parasite in Testation. • • • Be sure the old hens and young stock have plenty of ventilation dur ing the hot summer months. Open thf rear ventilator in the house and tak< out the windows. • * * Small eggs produce small chicks. The size of next year’s eggs depends first upon breeding, second upon feed ing. • • • Encourage chickens to roost while they are still young to prevent crooked breast bones and crowding and to aid ventilation. • • • Barley is considered a very good feed for poultry. It is richer in pro tein and carbohydrates than oats, and has less crude fiber. In some sections it is made a substitute for corn ♦ • • A simple outdoor shelter for chicks Will relieve crowded conditions in the brooder house. It will also provide ample ventilation and cool roosting quarters during the Rimmer months A sanitary range shelter ahould be provided. • • • The price of eggs at this season will not allow the old hens to carry many lice and still return a profit over feed costs. Sodium fluoride dip is the easiest and best way to control lice Use one ounce of sodium fluoride to a' gallon of water.

Human eyes cannot distinguish the exact point, but a supersensitive machine, designed to turn on lights in school rooms, cap. The light in the room tails upon a lens, under which is a photoelectric (jell, that translates light variations into corresponding electrical, variations, explains Popular Science Monthly. When the intensity decreases to a point where strain on tne pupils* eyes may result, the “light monitor” automatically switches on the lights by means of an electric relay. It determines infallibly when the button should be pressed. An automatic time clock disconnects the apparatus during hours when the school is not in session.
