ASKING Hubby for Money.

In an interesting little article en-
titled ,"Feminine Finance" in the Wom-
an5s Home Companion, Lee Macalister
says in part:
"If there is money to be had, it is
foolish for woman to shrink from
asking for it as if she were an unde-
serving child. Also, if her husband is
only thoughtless, it is unfair to him.
Most, men wish to spare their wives
every possible discomfort, and it is
silly for a wife to experience needless
inconvenience and feel sorry for her
self the while when little common
sense would do away with it. Men
can't understand such point of view
Whatever they want they ask for, and
they can't see why woman should OBJ
iect to doing the same thing. And
woman shouldn't There are times, OF
course, when woman wants more
money than she thinks her husband
can afford to give her. and when it is
necessary for her to be at home the
greater part of the time In that case,
some plan can be found if it be dill
gently sought"

To Teach Children About Trees.

A movement is on foot at Shreve-
port, La, to make it possible for the
school children of that city to secure
an education in tree knowledge. 1t
is the intention of those behind tne
movement to have on hand at all
times samples of all trees in the bark
and after being manufactured so that
the school children may acquire
knowledge that may be of use to
them in later years. Another move
ment on foot in that city, is to have
all of the trees adjoining the highways,
of the city. labeled so that not only
the children, but grown people Will
be able to ascertain the difference be-
tween the various kinds OF southern

toJ,is indioenous 10 America. Although sclentlSLs
believe il is possible that there was a specles'
the original of the present turkey nuisenous ~
the West India islands, 1t is generaAy conceueu
that all turkeys have descended IN some way or
other from the three forms known today as the
North American. the Mexican and the Honduras,
the ocellated varieties.
The Mexican turkey is found wlld throughout
the republic. 1t is short in shank with featners
on its body of metallic black shaded only Slight
ly with bronze, while all its feathers are tipped
with white.
The Honduras turkey today is scattered all over
most of Central America and is extremely wild
The bronze turkey, that variety which today
holds the place of honor in the North American
group of turkeys, is outdone by none when 1t
comes to beauty or size. Black, beautifully shad-
ed with rich bronze, the breast plumage being
dark bronze illuminated with lustrous finish of
coppery gold, its plumage gives full warrant for
the name by which this bird is known.
The fullgrown, healthy bird is a beautiful pic
ture of bronze, black, copper and gold, and some
times weighs 40 or more pounds. Other varieties
known in the barnyard, and recognized
among dealers as having distinctive markings are
in reality only highly developed fowls with pre-
served peculiarities.
In the United States there are six standard va
rieties recognized and grown. These are the
bronze, Narragansett, buff, slate, white and black.
The chief differences are in size and color OF
plumage.
The bronze and Narragansett are the largest,
the bun and slate medium, while the white and
black are the smallest. Within late years, how
ever the white variety has reached such point
of popularity that it has increased in size until
with some dealers it occupies third place.
Whatever the turkey may have missed through
failing to secure place of honor suggested for
it by BENJAMIN Franklin-as the national bird
it has nevertheless found place in the regard
of the American people which is held by no other
fowl
Time was when turkey, or as many as could
be carried, might be had for the asking Then
came the period when so cents would buy plump
young fowl. Even short time as ten years

North of the Rio Grande the turkey equally
well known and treasured. The celebrated expe-
dition of Coronado, between 1927 and 1547, pene-
trated this unexplored region west of the M1ss1s-
sippi His explorations were chiefly In what IS
today Texas, Arizona and New Mexico, the home
of the cliff dwelling Indians of the Southwest In
all the Indian villages according to those early
explorers, turkeys were to be found, both wild
and domesticated.
Present day scientists have found enclosures
in these villages which at one time used as
cages for wild turkeys, which were herded to-
gether, later to be domesticated. The wild focks,
according to the chronicles Of Coronado, were
many times welcome sight to these explorers,
turkeys often made toothsome addition to
larder otherwise too scanty for comfort.
Cortes, in one of his letters written about 1913,
mentions the turkey. He carried specimens of
the bird to Spain in 1920, where they came into
immediate popularity and the breeding OF turkeys
soon became established. It was then that the
turkey became known as 'pavos' on account of
his relationship to the peacock, which was then
called "pavo real'-the fowl of kings.
1t was long time before the turkey reached
France, for the first turkey eaten there was at
the wedding of Charles TX and Elizabeth of Aus
tFia June 81 1870 or 90 years after Spain had
Rrst tasted the bird.
It's introduction into England seems to have
been in 1924. But, whenever it was, it soon came
into popular favor and given such local
names Black Norfolk and Large Cambridge.
It is an interesting fact that descendants of the
parent stock were carried to New England, where,
crossed with the original turkey already there,
they began the breed that has spread from one
end of the country to the other.
AS in this country, the turkey has come to be
looked upon elsewhere as holiday feast attrac-
tion. In Spain, especially during Christmas time,
the markets alive with the voluble arguments
of the vendors and purchasers and with the una
vailing protests of the victims. In Madrid some
of the principal streets are crowded with troops
Of these birds driven in from the country farms.
In the early colonial days turkeys were still
abundant in Massachusetts. the rest Of New Eng
land Maryland, Virginia the Carolinas and Flori-
da while In the last named states the turkey Is
still found as a native wild fowl although in
greatly decreased numbers.

the confidence of those of us who hailed
it with so much hope?' asks a promi

"Would 'The World advise a
man at the Congressional elections this

fair answers, says "The World,' in

"The World" decidedly thinks that
the Democratic House ''has justified the
confidence of those of us who hailed it
with so much hope.
This Congress has revised the abuses
out of an extortionate tariff. 1t has i'm
posed an Income Tax which lifts part of
the burden Of taxation from poverty to
wealth. 1t has enacted Banking and
Currency Law, for which the American
people have been striving for more than
twenty years. Whatever differences of
opinion there may be about the admin
istrative details of this measure, all
financial authorities agree that under it
this country can not have another panic
like those of 1873, 1898 and 1907.
In addition, this Congress has de-
stroyed the lobby. In the case of the
Panama Tolls Bill, it has not only wiped
out peculilrly hypocritical subsidy but
it has reasserted the good faith of the
nation to respect its treaty obligations.
In the matter Of Mexico it has scrupu.

Freedom From Diseese Cempul-

law has been passed and enacted by the
Maryland Legislature prohibiting the
Frederick County School Board and the
school boards oil all other counties of the
State from employing teachers who have
tuberculosis or any other communicable
diseases in. the schools Of the county.
Another section of the act provides
that the school boards may IN their dis
cretion appoint one or more physicians
to examine the pupils of the schools of
The county for hearing, sight, or any
other physical defects. The board may
also if it SO desires, appoint special
teachers to have supervision over the
children who have physical deformities
that prohibit them from advancing with
the normal pupils of the county schools.
While the County School Board has
not taken any action in regard TO this
law. because copies of this law have only
recently been received, the question will
be threshed out at future meeting.
