DIFFER AS TO IDEAL WOMAN
Should She Be Plump or Slender, Is a
Question Over Which There
Is Controversy.

One of the London papers has put
the question to its readers, "Is the
slender woman or the plump woman
the ideal type?" 1t arose from dis
agreement among the physiological
and artistic authorities. The Ameri-
can doctors have declared that the
plump woman is the standard, while
the English artists say that the thin
woman approaches more nearly to the
normal type. There is no question:"
writes one, that the new figure long
and willowy, the result OF the modern
athletic movement. is superior in vi.
tality and natural grace to the old
short and stumpy figure. The tall,
thin woman is freer and more healthy,
and is a better comrade for her hus-
band"
Another says: Surely there is
golden mean between the plump and
the meager. Let a woman aim at
keepirg her mind active and her body
fit, and she viii find that she can have
a good figure"-which seems to me
highly Illogical. Who has not known
women with the most active of minds
and Of bodies whose figures, according
to the received standard are absolute
ly "dowdy?" "A Woman of Forty
writes sensibly, "Why not recognize
the fact that there may be several
equally good physical types? The girl
of twenty may properly be slim, while
the woman in the thi1ties looks quite
as normal, if she is plump.

ALFALFA WILL THRIVE
IN MANY SOILS
NICHOLAS SCHMITZ.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

For number of years the Mary
land Agricultural Experiment Station
has been testing alfalfa on t.Ne various
soil types of the State now under culti-
walton. These tests. together with
the successful experience of many
farmers, have proven beyond a doubt,
that under favorable conditions alfalfa
can be grown successfully on prac-
tically all soils of the State.
No soil, regardless of type or loca-
ton in the State, however, will pro-
duce fair crops Of alfalfa unless it is
fertile; producing at least 40 to so
bushels Cor 10 barrels) of corn per
acre in normal season. No amount
of fertilizer applied either before or
after seeding will make up for poor
land at the start. Moreover, starting
alfalfa under such conditions is indeed
very expensive. If the land is poor,
1t is far better to wait few years and
grow fertilizing crops such as COW
peas, crimson clover, soy beans and
red clover in the rotation before each
money crop. If manure is available,
the more used the better. In fact, the
supply Of organic matter is a very inn
portant factor in the production of
alfalfa. 1t is seldom that land very
low in humus grows alfalfa success
fully.

HAVE THEIR VARIOUS l-IKINGS
Restaurant Patrons Show in Many
Ways How Lucky 1t Is
That Tastes Differ.

Diners In a Philadelphia lunchroom
were amused by a man who literally
smothered plate of raw oysters with
mustard and washed down the mix
ture with a glass of buttermilk, into
which he had shaken generous por-
ton of red pepper, saws the Record of
that city. Instead of burning the mans
throat or causing him TO sneeZe or his
eyes to water, he smacked his lips
with great relish. After he had paid
the check the cashier turned to one
of the patrons who was still laughing
at the incident.
"You know what the old woman
said when she delivered the oscula-
tory salutation upon the countenance
of the bovine" he said. THAT old
fellow isn't near as bad as some I've
seen in here. What do you think of a
person who puts linseed oil on beef
steak or one who eats raw liver with
chopped onions? We have two Gus
toners who do this repeatedly and
both insist that there is nothing to
take the place of these dishes.
1.-THE limit, though, l think, is
reached by an old recluse who comes
here sometimes. He has a great appe-
tite for raw sauerkraut, old-fashioned
cup cheese and all the rest of those
Dutch dishes. One day l saw him
take a paper from his pocket and
shake something into plate of bean
soup. From where l was sitting it
looked like sweet marjoram, and so
when he came to the desk told him
that it wasn't necessary for him to
carry his seasoning around in his
pocket, as the walters would give him
all he wanted.
"He didn't appear to understand and
when l explained, he said: ooh, my!
no, that wasn't sweet marjoram, and
he pulled the paper from his pocket
and exhibited the contents to me- 1t

NO NEW DISEASE TO THEM
Scientists Pronounce 1t Nostalgia"
But Sufferers From Homesick-
ness Have Long Known of Il.

Science has recently made another
of its marvellous discoveries, which,
1t must be admitted in this day of
smooth track and fast going-to
speak after a fashion prevalent in
Kentucky-is way science has. The
profound researches of the physicians
are responsible in the present in
stance. AS result of careful investi-
cations they are prepared to state con
fidently that there is such a thing as
nostalgia. Moreover, that it is a dis.
ease, and that 1t sometimes kills.
It must be comforting to the lay
mind to have its fond delusions thus
stamped with the imprimatur of the
man who knows. Without this. it
would be the hardihood of ignorance
to rush into print on the subject. OF
course, the untutored millions, so
many of whom are forced to admit
that they are only poor boys from
the country, had an idea there was
such a malady. They also knew that,
whatever it was, it hurt, even if it
didn't kill But they didn't call it
nostalgia" it was merely plain home
sickness, which is possibly worse.

SHOULD BE PREPARING FOR
MARYLAND WEEK.
t. B. SYMONS.
Maryland Agricultural College.

The premium list for the Maryland
Week Exhibition, November 1921, is
now being issued by the Maryland
State Horticultural Society and Aft
lated Associations The Club Exhibit
Prizes have been increased as we'll as
the prizes for fruits, vegetables,
cereals. and dairy products. This show
is now looked upon as one of the
largest and best of its kind in the
East. Now is the time to plan to pro.
duce prize exhibits of either fruit, veg.
etables or cereals. Every section OF
Maryland should be represented at this
exhibition.
All local farmers organizations
should study the rules for the club ex-
hibits and commence planning now for
making club exhibit at this great
show. 1t will be good advertisement
for any community besides making
such an exhibit aids and advertises the
worth of the local association in many
other ways. Every section Of Mary.
land should be represented at this
exhibition.
This exhibition is educational in
every detail, and all farmers should
plan to exhibit and attend the show
and annual meetings of the associa.
tons held at Baltimore in November.

Drainage must be good. Alfalfa re
quires much more complete drainage
than other farm crops. Land inclined
to be wet and springy in winter and
early spring, although dry enough dur.
ing the growing season to produce
good crops of corn, wheat, oats and
grass, is not drained well enough fol
alfalfa. On such land alfalfa is sure
to be killed out sooner or later by
heaving due to the frequent freezing
and thawing so common some seasons.
Lining for alfalfa is absolutely
necessary on practically all Maryland
soils,-even in the natural lime stone
sections 1t makes little or no differ.
ence what kind of lime is used if the
proper amount of each is applied II
is question of cost and ease of hand
ling rather than the effect upon the
alfalfa.
The amount of lime to use under
average conditions is one ton per acre
of caustic lime, that is burnt stone or
lump lime, ground lime or burnt oyster
shells. Hydrated lime should be used
at the rate of $500 to 2,700 pounds
and ground lime stone or ground oyster
shells should be applied at the rate OF
$500 pounds to tons per acre.
The best time to apply lime is the
season before sowing the alfalfa If,
however, this is not convenient or i'm
practical, it may be applied just be-
fore, or even after seeding, with the
assurance of good results and no in.

Perfect Friendship.

There is nothing more sacred than
friendship, and it Is impossible to pro-
fame it by drawing the veil from its
ministries. The charm of a perfectly
noble companionship between two
souls is as real as the perfume OF a
flower, and is impossible TO convey by
word or speech; nature has made its
sanctity inviolable by making it for
ever impossible to revelation and
transferenc4 l cannot translate into
any language the delicate charm, the
inexhaustible variety, the noble fidel-
ity of truth, the vigor and splendor of
thought, the unfailing sympathy of our
ardent friendships; they are a party
OF the forest, and one must seek them
there.-Hamilton Wright Mabie.

READY TO SUPPLY SPEECHES
London Man, for a Consideration, viii
Come to the Aid of the Poor
Speaker.

A little, quiet, book-lined office in
the heart of the West end of London
is occupied by gentleman who is
prepared to turn out speeches for all
occasions. During a recent interview
the speechmaker-in-chief remarked
that, while speeches have often been
written by others than those who de-
liver them. he thinks his is the first
attempt to concentrate the supply and
to establish the new profession of gen.
tleman speechmaker.
81 am as ready with an after-dinner
speech as any other" he said "They
can be bright or serious, as required,
and have already prepared good
many speeches. which have been de-
livered with success in different parts
of the country. Tmpromptus' are a
speciality
THE method is simple enough. I
ask clients to supply me with any To-
cal illusions they require, and an idea
if they have one, of the trend of the
speech. The rest they can leave to
sme. ! have made practise Of at.
tending all the functions could fer

speech that is popular at garden par

dinner. I have a good store of anec-
dotes, and as I am not a recluse, but
go about and know what is in the air,

SPRAY FOR ASPARAGUS BEETLE
E. N. CORY.
Maryland Agricultural College.

There are two asparagus beetles,
one red with black spots. and the
other black with yellow stripes, that
infest asparagus. They deposit their
eggs along the stalks. The larva,
small, dirty appearing grubs eat the
shoots. There is little or nothing that
can be done to prevent injury when
the beetles are present in numbers.
However the chances Of injury from
this source can be greatly reduced by
few simple methods, employed after
the cutting season Is over. When the
patch is of considerable extent, a
thorough spraying with four pounds of
arsenate of lead in a barrel of water
In which has been previously dissolved
one pound of laundry soap, to aid in
the adhesive qualities of the mixture;
or one quart of syrup or molasses will
serve as well as the soap.

Speech Made to Dead Man.

Karl Gimpert, a concert agent, who
died at Berlin few days ago, left the

the following reservation:
Il consider that death is a private
affair, and therefore request that no
one except the priest to whom leave
my property shall accompany my cof-
fin to the cemetery, where he. will de.
liver an address,"
This clause of the will was observed,
and the priest made a speech over the
open grave. A public notary. who
stood at distance as witness that
the terms had been fulfilled, was the
only other person present.

Unknown but Common Germs.

Measles and chickenpox are the
commonplaces of every household;
but their germs have eluded the most
elaborate attempts at detection Back
in the eighteenth century Jenner con.
quered smallpox with vaccination; but
the most industrious search for 30
years has disclosed no trace of the
smallpox microbe Medical men deal
with an unknown agent today, just as
Jenner did leo years ago. Reed and
Carroll showed US how to conquer vel
low fever; no one, however, has sue
ceeded in imprisoning any microor
ganism of the disease. Scarlet fever,
one of the most contagious diseases
known, has also successfully hidden
its secret. Pasteur, who discovered o
way to control hydrophobia, searched
patiently for its organism, but did not
find it. Typhus fever, the scourge of
American cities so years ago, still pre-
walls in attenuated form; but 10 one
has isolated it's agent. Trachoma,
disease introduced chiefly by immi-
grafton, has also so far concealed its
definite cause.-World's Work.

each shall try to weigh and measure
stand ready to complain II the scales
do not tip even, will ever know the real
happiness of married life.
If you ever find yourself getting into
this attitude take yourself in hand and
try to get out of 1t. How? Well, try
keeping up your side of the scale with
love and service and am sure the hap
piness that will flow into you from
that effort will shame your bartering.
For it is what we give. not what we
get, that brings US the greatest happi-
ness in marriage, and that means love,
too, as well as service and material
considerations. 1t seems to me it il
almost a greater tragedy to marry
without loving than without being
loved. For though the one will bring
unhappiness the other will bring that
death of the heart which is even worse
than unhappiness.
Nothing makes the heart and soul
grow like loving and giving. Being
loved Is a trivial, external thing in
comparison with loving; receiving is a
mechanical process compared with
giving. 1t is what goes out of the
heart not what comes into 1t that really
makes your life.
So look out for that little word "get."
Don't marry on 1t, and If you are al
ready married, don't let 1t come be-
tween you. Whom God hath Joined
together let not selfishness put
