The police department has no rec

GA. WOMAN HAS
A NOVEL PLAN
TO BREED CHICKENS WITH ONE
LEG-THEY CAN'T SCRATCH
NO MORE DESTRUCTION OF THE
FLOWER GARDENS.

No Narathoning tactics will do for
the man who wishes to keep ahead
these days, says the Cleveland Leader.
tJe cannot plod along determinedly.
He must sprint all the while.
There's Burbank, for instance. One
would think his ideas would keep him
far in the lead, but here's a Georgian
woman not only making him stand at
the post, so far as ideas for phenomc-
nal Improvements are considered, but
also pointing out the way to others to
pass in the race.
This fair Georgian is an esthetic
philanthropist. She is working in the
interests of the true, the good, and
the beautiful, especially the last. Her
soul has been wTung. both personally
and with the vicariOus weights OF 9TH
ers' sorrows, when beautiful flower
gardens and delightful green lawns
have been destroyed by hungry chick
ems.
So she put her mind to work. The
present breed of chickens, she logic
ally argued, will scratch The remedy
lies in changing the type. So she has
set about 1t. Her purpose is to breed
a chicken with only one leg. 1t will
need at least that to stand upon. The
voice Of nature, crying through cen
turtles, will sound in this one-pinned
chicken and bid It scratch. A few
attempts will prove the uselessness Of
this atavistic desire and the chicken
will adapt itself to its conditions.
Chickens of this sort will lay as well:
they will furnish themselves as
plumpIy and tenderly to the stewing
kettle or the frying pan. And the
lawns will be saved.
The gaIlinaceous Improvement which
this woman will work, II her scheme
proves as practical as 1t is a1luT1ng,
should send other humanitarians on
like services. Those who sleep badly
at night will decorate with laurels and
gid with gold the scientific mvestt-
gator who shall produce yowl-lesS
cat and a type Of dog that will not
bay the moon. The Georgia woman.

suit.
Inanimate objects, too, should fur
nish grand opportunities. Milk bottles
that will not clink In the early morn
ing hours, furnaces that can be shak-
en- without awakening the 1ightest
sIeepers. are on the waiting list for
improvement, and any one who reads
this can point the way to other things
which should be thus Burbanked into
usefulness without a shadow OF

sunk in the recent West Indian hur-
