THICK VEIL OF SECRECY
Europeans Know Nothing of Fight

Unless you have attempted to pierce it,
1t Is impossible TO comprehend the mar
vellous veil OF secrecy which the allied
governments have cast over their military
operations, writes T.. Alexander Powell

though the German trenches can be
reached by motor-car in ninety minutes
from the Rue de Ia PaiX. it is as imnos-
sible for an unauthorized person to get
within sight, Of them as It would be for
tourist to stroll into Buckingham Palace
and have friendly chat with King
George.
The good old days in Belgium, when the
correspondents went fitting light-heart-
edly about the zone of operations on
pioycles and in taxicabs and motor cars,
nave passed. never to return. Imagine
battle In which more mon were en-
gagged and the results Of which were
more momentous than Waterloo. Ciettys-
burg ,and Sedan combned-a battle in
which Europe lost more men than the
North lost in the whole Of the Civil
"ar-belng fought at let us say, New
Haven. Conn, in December, and the
people OF New York and Boston know
ing the details of that battle, the names
OF the regiments engaged. the losses, or.
indeed, the actual result, until the fol-
lowing March.
1t is In fact, not the slightest exaggera-
ton to say that the people of Europa
knew moro about the wars that were
fought on the South African vcdt and
on the Manchur!an steppes than they 10

For the first few years he should rely
on hens do the Matching and brooding-

that will aid him later In the use Of In
cubators and breeders.
EGG FARMING THE RIGHT BASIS
Make egg farming 'he basis Whenever
hen becomes broody set her. Sell all
surplus eggs each week After the chicks
are grown to salable size, pick out the
pullets to be retained for next years
laying and market the cockerels. In this
way there will be an income from the

The following year, with an increased
number Of layers, there would be a chance
to have enough over the expense to start
a salary for the owner.
1t will take about three years TO get
the business down 10 the living stage,
where the man starts without any ex-
perience. He must serve an apprentice
ship. and 1t is right that it Is so, for II
poultry culture opened up an avenue on
which any and everybody could succeed,
regardless of experience. it would not
be long before prices would take a mighty
tumble. and there would be no money in

In any other line?
But the man who starts small who has

MAKING A JOYOUS CHILD
Last Thought before Going to Sleep
Leaves the Deepest Impression.

Leaves the Deepest Impression,
A principle Of psychology which every
mother should know is that the last
thought before going to sleep makes the
deepest impression Try it. The last
thought at night is sure to be the first
waking thought. A child should never
be punished Just before going to bed
If you wish to create in him a Joyous
disposition A happy bedtime will mean
sunny morning face.
Another important fact, based more
upon physiological than upon psyche
logical principles. is the Importance Of
happy mealtime. Perhaps the child
has done some little naughty thing and
is scolded for It until he cries or Is sent
from the table. His dinner is spoiled
He needs that dinner. He cannot be
happy II he is hungry or If he feels I'm
due censure and he will be cross or de-
pressed all tho afternoon. Did you ever
indulge In weeping at meal-time or allow
yourself to become very angry? II So
did you find your digestion improved
and did you have a happy day? As II
was with you. so is II with the child. 1t
Is well-known physiological fact that
anger and grief interfere seriously with
digestion. If you wish to lay in your
child foundation for indigestion you
can find no more effective way
II Is even worse TO send a child to bed
supperless No one can be at his best
morally and spiritually unless he Is at
his best physically. No child can be i'm
proved morally by being injured physi-
caily. To send a child away from tho
table hungry or to send him supperless
to bed is relic OF barbarism. 1t will
not only fail to bring good results at the
time. but will lay foundation of future
misery and unhappiness. A happy bed
time and n happy mealtime are the right
Of every child.-Josephine Barclay In
