Teaching Poultry With Movies. "

In Oregon a. new method of teaching
the art of poultry raising and stimulat-
ing the interest in the industry has been
adopted. 1t is by means of moving pic
lures. Fifteen hundred feet of film was
taken at the Oregon Agricultural College.
1t presents the story of man and his
wife and their son on a farm. The hus-
band did not like chickens and was con-
stantly shooing the dog on them. His
wife, realizing the possibilities of the in
dustry, fed the chickens by stealth, until
one day coming from market she opened
before her astonished husband many ar
ticles she had purchased with the money
the chickens had earned for her.
He and the son are next shown build
ing new houses for the chickens, feeding
them and looking after the incubating
and broodinS Of the chicks. The film
shows two chicks coming out of the egg
and bunch of day-old chicks-just out Of
the incubator. They are seen running
about most realistically.
The film tells the story OF the stolen
nest on a farm and the method Of con-
filming hens on range so that stolen nests
will to a great measure be overcome, and
the eggs saved for market. 1t shows also
the effect of keeping the hen from laying
in stolen nest, and then getting
"broody'' and setting. The moral of this
is that if the hen can be kept from steal
ing nest, and her eggs collected every
day. she will not stop laying so soon.
The method of handling and marketing
eggs is shown. 1t portrays that if the
broody hen sits on the eggs for any length

of time. if they are taken to market on
a hot day and left in hot store for a
few more days, the eggs will not be par
ticularly fresh by the time they reach
the consumer.
The farmer is shown the Importance of
getting rid of the old birds because they
are not profitable. But the farmer is also
informed that old chickens are not pleas
ing to the consumer because Of their
toughness. The lesson is that he should
not wait until four or five years before
culling. He should do it earlier, and
thereby give the consumer a better bird
and not disgust him with a bird that he
is really compelled to use an AK to cut,
and a meat grinder to chew.
Gambling and grading of eggs are shown
and few lessons on breeds and breeding
are given. Trapnesting, too, is demon
strated. and the scene ends with a flock
of Leghorn chickens thrashing a pile of
wheat. They are seen exercising for the
wheat, pulling and tearing to get the
wheat, and finally have it all broken and
torn.
One of the great troubles. as has been
stated in this column before. and one
which the government is trying to over
come, is the loss of eggs through bad
methods of handling. 1t is estimated that
SJO.GO.U00 a year is lost by bad methods.
S15, 100000 being credited to the fertile
egg brought about through keeping
roosters in the flock in the summer time,
when not wanted for breeding.
In the United States during the past
ten years cattle have decreased i'm num-
Der 81 per cent, and sheep 14.1 per cent.
while poultry has increased Il per cent.
That the hen has increased is shown by
the fact that % per cent more eggs Were

ADJUSTMENTS.
National.

Music lovers who defied the sudden
downpour of rain to attend last nights
performance of The Bohemian Girl
were more than repaid by its splendid
production by one OF the best casts
the Aborn Company has shown here
throughout its present engagement.
Everybody knows the opera and the
story it tells. Each melody possesses
the charm that familiarity gives TO
beautiful things, and the applause
elected by each rendition was so in
sistent that encores were more gen
erously given than on any previous
night of the season. Ivy Scott was
captivating. vocally and personally,
as Airline, and Jayne Herbert scored
a distinct triumph as the impressively
picturesque queen of the eypsies. Her
solo Would That | Had Died showed
the beautiful quality and wide range OF
her contralto voice, and its reception
was so enthusiastic as to compel Il
repetition. The supreme honors of the
cast, however, fell to Herbert Water
Gus who. as Count Arnheim, looked
the Austrian noble, sang magnifcently,
and, in his balled, The Heart Bowed
Down." voiced the depths of tenderness
that most people can but feel.
Henry Taylor, as Thaddeus, sang
1.-The Fair Land of Poland with feeling,
rendition of Then You'll Remember
Me" Philip Fein, Florestein, eXcelled
even his fine character work as the witch
in .'Hansel and Gretel, and Washington
has seldom seen so good DeVllShoor as
the characterization by George Shields.
Edward Baker, as captain Of the guard;
John Mercer. as officer of the patrol;
Henry Oesfield, as a gypsy messenger,
and Miriam Norris. as Buda. were each
as excellent as their roles permitted, and
a good word was earned by the tiny girl
who impersonated the baby Airline, but
whose name was not on the bill The
chorus danced pretti1y and sang well.
and the orchestra did its accustomed good
work under it's new leader. Joe Nicol.

Columbia.

Mark Twain's pretty and pathetic little
story, 1.-The Prince and the Pauper, with
q feminine touch given by Abby Sage
Richardson, who made the stage version
used by the Columbia Players at the Co
lumbla Theater last evening, served to
again introduce the charming little Helen
HAYES Brown in stellar light Some
wears ago the rema rkable performance OF
Little Lord FaunterOy" by this de-
lightful little actress made her the talh
of the town. and sent her histrionic repu
tation with brilliant halo to attract the
managers of the metropolis.
And in the few years that nave rounded
out her baby figure and made her the
envy of the larger young ladies she has
lost none Of her charm, none OF her
splendid talent. But Few years more
and she will easily come INTO her own
with the talented young women whose
photographs adorn the pages of dramatic
Journals and occupy the attention of the
real critics who know how to say such
nice things, as well as such 'horrld
things.
The usual Columbia stock audience
filled the theater last evening and en-
tered into the spirit of the chllds story
that put little Tom Canty, the beaten
and despsed pauper. on the throne OF
England and the charming little Ed
ward, Prince of Wales. in the haLnts and
dens of thieves to taste the lot that was
spared Tom for the time being. Although
the performance did not run as smoothly
as it might due. doubtless, to the nerv-
BUSINESS of the little star and the failure
of some of her associates to ''verSatiliZe"
the chasm that separated the romance
from the musical comedy. it was new
ertheless thoroughly enjoyable through
out. One rehearsal more. perhaps. will
rub off the rough edges and bring it up
TO the Columbia Players standard.
Three of the big, grown-up men in the
company made a strong bid to share the
honors with the little star-Willard Rob-
ertson, as the crazy peasant, Anthony
Gorse. a remarkably strong characterize
ton, handled with rare discretion and
ability; Everett Butterfeld. as Hugh Gal
lard, the housebreaker, who could not
stand for bloodshed, and John NJ. Kline,
as Toms father. a burly brute of the Bill
Skies type. They were all good very
good with Mr.. Robertson well in the
lead
Mr. Van Buren, made a rough but gall
liant soldier of Miles Hendon, loyal friend
to the little prince. while his running
mate with the company. Miss Helen
Holmes, the leading woman. sat In a box
and applauded her little rival vigorously
throughout the evening.

The wonderful charm of THE INDY

ed visitor to see them last evening

the deep interest they Elk ute every
where they are shown. That interest
is increased by the carefully prepared
and graphically descriptive lecture
that is delivered this week by Mr.. S.
l. Connor Aside from the pathos of
the story. which is not the dominant
element, the pictures appeal as per-
haps nothing that has preceded them
from IN educa tional standpoint. This
is becoming to be recognized with
much force by the public school au-

main on exhibition for the remainder
of the week at afternoon and evenir g

in the Land of Make Believe" and
the artistry of last nights production
left little or no room for doubt.
AS in Mrs. Fiske's play, The High
Road" the compelling interest OF The
Woman revolves around a youthful
misstep by the wife of man In pub
years. to the husband who has married
her in ignorance of it. These con-
sequences are tWofold, for they also
involve her husbands political enemy,
as well as the fate of the bill he OPP
poses and the future of his new party.
1t is in the working out of this situa
ton that the principal dramatic appeal
of the play is made.
The way in which the telephone girl re-
mains loyal to the wife, and thus obtains
revenge for wrongs done her father, as
well as wins her sweetheart, is not the
least interesting feature of the play, al
though the chief love interest, perhaps.
will always remain with the forgiving
husband and the penitent wife.
Miss Izetta Jewel made of the role of

characterization demands, and her work

and stood out boldly. as doubtless the

The play is mounted with two splendid

Readjusting National Life.

Mr.. Underwood said the adoption of two
amendments to the Constitution within
the past year one affecting the political
ma chinery of the government and the
other changing the fiscal policy of the
nation. clearly demonstrated that there
is a strong sentiment in the country to
break away from the fixed standards that
have controlled the government in the
past, and that onward movement is
leading to the adjustment of national life
to new conditions and progressive ideals.
NO man." he added, lis so bold to
declare that the recent constitutional
changes are not in the interest of better
government for the whole people, and
that tney have not equaliZed and strength
ened our fiscal system.
Only a few years ago a political party
that contended that taxes on consump-
ton should he diminished and that part
of the government burdens should be
borne by the wealth of the country was
hailed before the bar of public opinion
as being guilty of extreme radicalism.
Yet even those who condemned the pro-
rosal have enacted a law taxing corporate
wealth. and have ceased to protest
against an equitable income tax tnat shall
fairly distribute a part of the tax bur
denS of the government on incomes de-
rived from all classes of property. The

CHANCES FOR EDUCATORS
OPEN IN LATIN AMERICA
Failure of Americans to Acquire
Spanish Language Loses Them
Many Opportunities.

Failure Of American educators to take
up the Spanish language is costing
them opportunities for excellent posi-
lions in the faculties of schools and
colleges in Latin America, was the
declaration made today by Dr.. L. A.
Kalbach Of the United States bureau
of education. A number of such de-
sirable positions. DR.. kalbach adds. un-
doubtedly would be filled as a result
by the selection of educators of other
countries.
Commercial Benefits.
The situation is more important
however, than the mere establishment
OF an educational bond between the
United States and the smaller repub-
lies. The presence of such class of
Americans in Central and South
American countries would make for
closer trade and diplomatic relation
ship. Realizing this the State Depart
ment is said repeatedly to have ask ed
the bureau to search the country for
educators qualified to accept the prof
fered pOsitiOnS.

Dangers OF Movement.

What may be regarded as radical to-
day may be the inner citadel of con-
servatism tomorrow. The danger that
confronts us in the onward march of
the nation comes from the hasty adop-
ton of ill-considered proposals, some
times coming from honest but ill-ad-
vised advocates of real progress. and as
often coming from the cunning hirelingS
of reactionary interests, who would, un-
der the name of progress, start false
movement TO mislead and confuse in the
hope that they may delay the day when
special privilege shall be divorced from
our economic and governmental system
We should move forward with conserva
tism that will avoid reaction in public
sentiment and abandon a radical on
rush that may lead to disaster or delay
the accomplishing of a good result.
Mr.. Underwood paid tribute to the pre-
cepts and teachings of Thomas Jefferson,
the founder of the University of Virginia,
as "a lamp unto the feet and light
unto the path
