Auto Wins in Train Race.

After mad race, covering Is miles,
between an express train on the Laurel
line and a high-powered automobile,
which had been requisitioned by Chief
of Police Roberts of Wilkes Barre,
the latter captured a man accused of
fiimaamming Wilkes-Barrean as he
stepped from train in Scranton, Pa.
The fugitive got away with a ten
minute start, but the big racing car
cut down the running time, and the
officers were waiting at the station
here for their man, who was takel
back to Wilkes-Barre
The running time of the train was
IS minutes. and the automobile trav-
eled little more than a mile minute
to overhaul it.-Scranton Dispatch to

HydropIane a Freak.

The hydroplane of the day is a
freak in every sense of the word. The
various types of underbody construc-
ton are designed to give the boats
lifting power, to lessen the draft I'M
der speed, and, consequently, the dis
placement-in other and palmer
words, to lessen the amount of water
that has to be pushed aside in the
endeavor to make high speed. The
hydroplane is the outcome of years of
study by the best naval architects and
marine engineers in freak-boat con-
struction. Thousands of dollars are
spent annually on these freaks, but
many are thrown on the junk pile and
the effort repeated. All of these boats
are overpowered, as one would con-
slider the needs of an ordinary boat
But extra power is added to gain
little extra speed. Thus one of the
Atlantic coast owners is this year du-
plicating his power by adding a sec
ond motor to a 45-miler with the hope
of adding an extra ten miles an hour
to the speed. This may be termed
freakishness, yet in the quest for the
60-miler all sorts of freakish things
are being undertaken.

TROUBLES OF YOUNG CHICKS
BIisters on Head and Feet often
Caused by Loco Weed Poisoning
Separate Ailing Birds.

When young chicks show up with
blisters, or something akin to bills
tiers, on the head and feet, one must
take the locality in mind when try
ing to determine the ailment.
If 1t is in a land where loco weed
and its kindred grow, and the chicks
run out in all manners of weather or
time of day, then one must look around
for the loco weed that is poisoning the
chicks head and feet and binding its
eyes; but If in land where this poi
sonous plant is unknown, then but
one other disease suggests as the rea-
son, and this is chickenpox.
For the loco poison the chicks must
be kept away from it, especially when
wet or damp, and the blister can be
treated with peroxide of hydrogen, di-
luted half, followed by the application
of a carbOlized ointmene.
Again, should it prove chickenpox,
the diseased chicks must be taken
from the well and the quarters disin-
fected. Feed them heavily, stirring
three or four grains of sulphur each
day in their feed: treat the head and
sore eyes with the remedy given for
the sores of loco poison. If the bis
tiers develop into warty looking ulcers
kill the chick and burn 1t.

grazing is practiced greater production
can be secured by intermittent graz
ing; that is, by employing several
helds which are pastured in rotation.
A practice similar to that suggested
above has been gradually developed in
Australia and gives the best return
IN the management of Australian al
falfa land. The practice is to grow
a hay crop in the early spring and to
pasture the alfalfa during the remain
der of the year. Aside from the hay
obtained, alfalfa is very valuable in
Australia for grazing purposes, be-
cause it responds to summer rainfall,
while tie native grasses, being an
nuals, afford no late pasturage. On
a large ranch near Wagga Wagga,
N. S. w, 1000 acres of Peru
Wan alfalfa has been handled IN
der this combined system of hay
and pasturage. The alfalfa at this
ranch carries three sheep per acre
during the summer, autumn and win
ter months. About the first of Sep
TENDER (early spring. the sheep are
taken off. The alfalfa makes luXu-
RANT growth during the cool spring
months, and crop of from 1900 to
1000 pounds per acre of cured hay is
obtained. The hay is produced when
the weather is cool and the transporta-
ton rate low-in other words, when
the crop is making the most efficient
use of the water supply. The normal
rainfall in this region is about q
inches and is quite uniformly distrib-
uted, each month having more than
one inch of rainfall and only two
months June and October, CORE
spending to our December and April,
respectively more than two inches.
This combined system of hay and
pasturage has found much favor in
New South Wales, and is carried out
in a rolling plains country, where
there is no chance of subirrigation,
and on loan or sandy loan soils.

ment Of Agriculture)
The method of handling the alfalfa
field to get the largest returns is one
which interests a large number of
farmers both growers of alfalfa and
prospective growers. Experiments re-
corded in the United States depart
ment bulletin No. 228, Effect of Ere
quent Cutting on the Water Require
ments of Alfalfa and It's Bearing on
Pasturage." indicate that the total con-
sumption of water by alfalfa can be
controlled to considerable extent by
pasturage or frequent clipping, with
out serious Injury to the plants. Thus
by pasturing or clipping the crop it's
growth can be regulated to accord
with the amount of available moisture
in the soil.
With limited amount of stored
moisture it is evident the greatest pro-
duction can be obtained by allowing
the crop to grow when the water re-
Quirement is the lowest in the spring
or fall, and by keeping the leaf sur

The efficiency of reducing the size of
the aerial portion of the plant as
means of moisture conservation dur
ing periods of drought has often been
observed.
Whenever the moisture supply falls
short of the amount necessary tc pro-
duce normal crops throughout the sea-
son, summer grazing appears to afford
a simple and practical means of OBJ
tanning a return from alfalfa common
surate with the available moisture and
at the same time reduces the danger
of drought injury. When the moist
ure supply is adequate for continuous
crop production throughout the sea-
son, it is believed that close pastur-
age or clipping would result in a
marked reduction in the amount of
alfalfa produced. Consequently, where

NEED FOR TAILORED COSTUME
Women Have Recognized the Nsces
slty for Severely Simple Jacket
and Walking Skirt.

A woman charmingly dressed is a
greater ornament in any house than a
beautiful painting on canvas. But one
of the essential features to being well
dressed is to be appropriately dressed
The activities of modern life, which
increase by leaps and bounds, demand
dress for everyday wear that is prac-
ticable for these daily activities.
So the tailored suit for woman,
which began as costume for sports,
became a necessity of the feminine
wardrobe, practically to the extent
that the business mans business suit
is necessity to his wardrobe.
Professional men and men of leisure
all men except those forced to wear
uniforms-now wear the business
mans suit by day. Women of leisure
were the first to adopt the attractive
tailored suit for utility occasions.
Then the professional woman followed,
and at last the working women are be-
ing educated to appreciate the refined
taste of the simply designed, we'll

ECONOMIC ON SKIRTS
MISTAKE TO HAVE TOO MANY IN
THE WARDROBE.
Styles Changes Are Apt to Leave One
With Perfectly Good Garments on
Hand Which Have Little
or No Value.

A word to the wise: If economy is
an object to you do not buy too many
separate skirts for summer. The eff
feet of all washable skirts is very much
OF muchness, SO that large variety
of them is unnecessary. When skirt
styles change, as they have been doing
lately with startling abruptness, we do
not know what to do with the old
ones. Materials and weaves change
constantly and the new ones are usu-
ally never desirable. so that it is not
worth while to make the old stuff over,
and yet we never seem to wear out a
wash skirt, and they are always ex-
asperatingly good at the end of a sea-
son.
What are we going to do, for exam
pie, with all our narrow wash skirts
this summer? No self-respecting
woman, be she ever so needy, will be
found in them in this country, and it
is hard to imagine of what use they
would be to the European refugees,
except, perhaps, as petticoats. The
short, hot season of northern Europe
makes the gift of them a doubtful
blessing to the poor.
Of course it is not every year that
skirts treble and quadruple their cir
conference, as they did this time, but
we never really know what the NOR
row may bring forth, and we have no
Madame Thebes in sartorial affairs to
tell US. A little consideration will
convince us that a moderate number
of separate skirts and blouses will suf-
fee us. Too great lavishness in this
direction is an example of that i'll
considered buying which is an eco
nomic mistake, no matter how large
the income at our disposal.
Buy in haste and repent at leisure
would be good motto to engrave in
the front Of every woman's account
book. 1t pays over and over again in
satisfaction, as we'll as in dollars and
cents to plan carefully for the sea-
sons clothes expenditure, and then
to adhere to one plan and not yield
to the temptation of cheapness and
bargains, to say nothing of the lure
of prettincss, which assails US on

Artificial Bones.

A new method of mending a frac-
tured bone has been discovered by an
English doctor. He dries and grinds
to powder a piece of fresh bone, and
this powder he mixes to the consis-
tency of a paste with petrolatum, and
properly sterilizes the mixture After
the ends of the fractured bones have
been brought into proper relations,
and the location ascertained by digi-
tai examination and X-ray, a syringe
having long needle is filled with the
warmed bone mixture, and the needle
is inserted to the seat of the frac-
ture, and as deeply as possible be-
tween the fractured ends. The con-
tents of the needle are then injected
as the needle is slowly withdrawn to
the surface of the bone, when the in
lection must stop. This procedure
may be repeated several times at diff
ferent angles, thus filling the entire
space between the fractured ends with.
the petrolatum and bone cells, which
act as a focus for the formation of
new bone.

FAVORITE COLORS ARE HERE
Shoes of Russet and Tan Leather Will
Be Strictly in Style During the
Summer Months.

Women were beginning to feel that
russell and tan leather were not to take
part in the shoe-and-slipper game this
season; but now they may rejoice, for
these two shades promise to be very
fashionable among the ultra-smart
women.
1t is noticeable, however, that these
colors are usually employed in con-
nection with leather of another color.
One stunning pair of pumps has the
heel, vamp and part of the shoe of
russell leather, while the space be-
tween the front and back sections was
filed In with champagne-colored
leather.
A slipper which is built high enough
to resemble an oxford is partly of rus
set leather. The vamp and heel are

strips of tan leather are stitched to
simulate lacings.
Quite a number of pumps and slip
pers are made absolutely without trim
ming, but depend upon their~cut and
stitched seams for decoration. One
pair Of russell leather has slight point
over the instep. This cut gives the
effect of tongue.
The extreme shortness of skirts
makes it most necessary for women to
pay strict attention to their footwear.
If one has an ankle which is too bulky
to be seen above a low shoe, there are
plenty of high models which will i'm
prove what nature has sighted and
allow the wearer to enjoy the sensa-
ton of being prettily shod.

GAME OF LIFE WAS CALLED

W. H. Murphy, a salesman living

A lurch, swing and a sudden shift,
and his body was thrown to the rails

wheels and the train passed over
them, amputing both above the
ankles.
He was taken to the Receiving hos

| RIGHT MANAGEMENT OF sow
important Feature Is to Get Young
sters to Feed as Early as Posi-
bIe-ProVide a "Creep."
CBy R. G. wEATHERsToNE.)

An important feature in the success
full management of the sow and litter
is to get the youngsters to feed as
early as possible. This pays in two
ways-it saves some of the drag on
the sow and it gets the pigs fit to
wean earlier, releasing the SOW from
her Maternal duties.
Moreover, when the pigs are re-
moved from the SOW, which is gener-
ally a fortnight too soon, they are
much better fit to do without her milk
and also much less liable to the con-
vulsive attacks so common in newly
weaned pigs, whose stomachs are I'M
accustomed to deal with the coarse
food often too plentifully supplied to
them.
Indigestion, constipation and fits"
are very intimately connected and all
are due to improper feeding.
The best way to teach young pigs
to eat is to provide a run or creep"
into an adjoining pen to which the
SOW cannot obtain access, or to feed
them while she is turned out to get
some exercise.

only will the output of the fish-cul~
tural operations of the bureau of fish
cries during the fiscal year ending
June 80 surpass previous records but
for the first time in many years there
has been sufficient supply of black
bass to meet all current demands for
both public and private waters. All
outstanding applications for black
bass will be filled. Some of these have
been held over for several years for
lack of a sufficient supply of the fish.
Among recent deliveries of this fish
have been 10000 to a large artificial
lake at Austin, Tex, formed by the
damming of the Colorado river, and at
the station whence the fish came
large supply is now on hand 1t is the
policy Of the bureau to distribute each
year an increasingly large proportion
of fish which have been retained at
the hatcheries until they reach the
lingering or yearling stages, which
means that the output, being more
mature, is better able to care for itself
and is not so subject to the depreda-
lions of natural enemies.

When the horse is shod with high

the horse stands on hard floor so that
there is no pressure on the frog Of the
