Giant Incubator Is Used
To Hatch Ostrich Eggs

SACRAMENTO, Cal. May 26.-In two
more weeks If all goes Well the stork
will visit the big ostrich farm here and
fifty-nine baby ostrichs will break from
their shells and Join fifty full grown
ostriches recently imported from Ari-
zona. For the past week giant incu-
bator has been caring for fifty-nine os-
trich eggs. The cold weather made it
necessary to resort to the artificial
means OF Matching instead of permitting
the ostrich hens to care for their own
settings.
AS the chicks are worth 800 each
when hatched the incubator is watched
with care that rivals that given to a
human infant.

none need have gone thirsty for lack of the price.
 Treating, essentially an Anglo-Sax- on custom, has done much to spread habits of intempcrance. Price Col Her in his book on the Germans tells us that the term "a Dutch treat has a vital meaning in the fatherland, where they go upon the sensible as- sumption that the man who wants a drink should do his own paying and it is considered just as reasonable to present a casually met acquaintance with a piece Of pic or pair of shoe strings as glass of beer The treat ing custom is based on false ideals of poIitencss. 1t makes q man drink moro than he wants or should have An anti-treatinE society among us should do more good in a year than ton of tracts.

WHISPERS.
week.

Long flowing whiskers used to be a sign of great knowledge: Now they denote that the wearer either has no chin, or no money to pay the barber. Bridgeport Telegram.
 No boy, you're wrong. Whiskers are unsanitary and for that reason the members of the medical fraternity have either had their boards closely cropped or shaved off as a prccaution against transmitting disease. Since it was discovered that the air was full of germs, that in flying around they sought refuge in the boards of those who were engaged in the treatm ent of disease and although the family doctor shook his whiskers be- fore entering the home of a patient in much the same manner as he removed the mud from his shoes on the door, mat, the pre- caution was not considered sufficient, so the organization of which the en- inent gentlemen were members de- oided that whiskers must go and away they went.
 Some twenty years ago whiskers were considered the badge of popu- lism. Democrats and republicans wore buttons at political conventions to indicate their particular preference for some candidate but the popuists simply wore whiskers and there were some beautiful sets. Kansas was al- ways in the lead in this respect and when the party elected men to con- gross they attracted a great deal of attention because of their flowing boards, but as the pops died out so did the wtiskers as a badge of politics They are no longer regarded as good form at a national convention and it is an unwritten law among democrats and republicans nowadys not to nomi- nate a candidate for any important office who wears whiskers extending six inches below his chin. Long whiskers and victory have not travelled together for a long time.

WHAT OTHERS SAY
Views on all sides of timely questions as discussed in ex- changes that come to Herald office.
Politics on Business.
Chicago Tribune.)

Many captains of industry and the cies have been giving the public their views as to the business outlook at this time. A new year has opened an account with history, and a little forecasting is altogether natural No man of affairs pretends that a boom is in sight and that the greatest pros perity ever known is ours for the asking. No man of affairs, in fact, would precipitate such a boom if he could, for steady. certain, confident, reasonable improvement is all that is expected and desired. On the other hand, no disinterested man of affairs has indulged in gloomy, lugubrious vaticinations, or failed to recognize that a distinct improvement in senti- ment as we'll as in conditions is taking place. The steel industry, the rail- road world, the bankers, the exporters all have spoken reassuringly and hopefully, giving In each case req son for their cheerful spirit
 Now compare the partisan, poli- tical outgivings of the season with the business forecasts described; Secre- tary Redfeld. interviewed, cannot find words glowing enough to ex- press his Joy. He sees everything rosy and resplendent. Prosperity is just ahead there are no clouds on the horizon; America is serene and secure. The armies of the unem- plOyed, alas, are neither serene nor secure, but what has a political sooth- saver to do with armies of unem- ployed and rolls of passed dividends? On the other hand, Minority Leader Mann sees everything black and gray. Business is in bad shape" and cer- tain to remain so until we restore an Aldrich tariff The bankers and man. ufacturers "shouId prepare for the worst" instead of for better things; 1t would be a crime against partisan politics for them to take orders or make extensions and improvement Everything that seems promising is illusory; the one thing real is parti- san politics.
 No sensible person will pay atten- tion to the utterances of mere poli- t1cians, whether ins or outs. Let business speak for business; let facts and figures tell the story of recovery and improvement. But shame or de- cency might restrain the political prophets of woe or glory from parad- ing at this time the nakedness of their philosophies and viewpoints.

X Babies Paradise

It will be eighteen stories high. There will be many comfortable suites on each floor. There will be special appliances and conveniences for baby culture. There will be several rooms devoted to the storage of baby carriages. And there will be no em- ployc, from boss janitor down to night elevator boy who is not a no- torious lover of babies.
 This is what a Chicago man is about to put up in Evanston. a fash ionable suburb of the western metro polls Evanston has been noted for it's antipathy to babies. It has many fine apartment houses and almost all
New Britain herald., 1915-01-09

of them adhere strictly to an anfi- infant rule. Such a rule tends to keep the apartments in prime condi- ton, and also conserves quietness and restfulness. Evanston is much ad mired by visitors who do not tarrv long enough to discover what Evans ton lacks.
 The new department house will Tot mar the general serenity of Evans ton. If babies are really a nuisance the nuisance will be localized. as if were. It will be possible for aII ncr,"us misopedists to avoid the iu- mediate neighborhood. But it will also be possible for otherwise dostr- able citizens, laboring under the dis advantage of parenthood, to find an abode in Evanston's rareficd at- moshere. Such provision may be needed to insure Evanston a glorious future. Without some such restrict cd haven Of infancy Evanston might Tn time wither up and blow away. Or 1t might die out like a community of Shakers.
