Singing to the Cows.
From the BOSTON Her,,5


1t was reported last month in news
papers of New York that Mr.. Stephen
Francisco, owner of a dairy heal Mont
clair, N. j.. has discovered that music
induces COWS to yield more milk. He
whistle "The Star Spangled Banner"
then Hail Columbia and after other
tunes Dixie This last air. to quote
the New York Sun. marked the Gull
mination OF the cows productivity"
1t may be remembered by some that
when Tess in Thomas Hardy's novel
was at Talbothay's dairy. dairyman
Crick complained of the COWS Keeping
back their milk. Folks, we must lift
up a stave or two-that's the only cure
fort" Mr.. Hardy comments: Songs
were often resorted to in dairies here
about as an enticement to the COWS
when they showed signs of withhold
ing their usual yield; and the band Of
mixers at this request burst into mel
ody-in purely business like tones, it
is true, and not with great sp%ontaneity;
the result, according to their own be-
lief, being a decided Improvement dur
ing the songs continuance" The sing
ers did lot choose national airs; the
song was a longwinded balled about a
murderer who was afraid to go to bed
in the ark because he saw birthstone
flames around him. Then the dairy
man told a story to prove that bulls
are moved than COWS to a tune.

Take Care Of chndren's Feet.

In the American Magazine DIR. Ar
thur R.. Reynolds, former health COM
missioner of Chicago, tells Of the many
troubles that can make life miserable
and that come from feet that were
neglected in childhood. Among ether
things he says:
Children should go barefooted at all
times while indoors and through the
summer. They should never wear any
foot covering at any time that in any
way distorts the toes or any part Of
the foot, or that interferes in any way
with it's normal growth and develop
men The same may be said of adults.
ANY reform In the shape Of shoes
must begin with the shoemaker's last.
Shoemakers do not seem to be able to
get away from form and beauty in
shaping it. 1t is shaped largely by
guess, and is pointed and turned UP at
the toe. No normal foot is SO shaped
The only rational last is made from a.
plaster cast of the foot while bearing
weight, and the mold can be made only
of some semisolid material that har-
dens when cool or dry. There is little
hope of getting a nationally shaped
shoe until the wooden last is totally
discarded. 1t is safe to assert that
good looking and nondeforming shoes
can be made without it,"

AMERICAN CARS HARD Hit
English Owners Can't Import Spare
Parts to Repair Old
Ones.

London.-A correspondent who is
thoroughly conversant with the motor
car business sends an interesting COM
munication to the Manchester Guard
ian with reference to the new reg
ulation prohibiting the importation
either of motor cars or spare parts.
The regulation affects in practice
only American cars and repair parts.
Practically no new cars are to be
bought at the present time except
American cars, and as the standard
lied self-starting American cars are
the simplest for an amateur to work
doctor or a commercial traveller who
wants car naturally prefers in these
times to buy an American machine 1t
seems remarkable that not even linn
tied import is permitted.
There are thousands Of American
cars in use in this country by doctors
and professional men, commercial trav-
elers, military officers and others with
a good reason for having car. APP
parently, under the new regulation, as
soon as these cars need repair they
will have to be laid up, since spare
parts cannot be imported, and it is
quite impossible to get spare parts
manufactured in this country at the
present time.

1t is not very important fact that
Providence is a city of more than $780,

quarter-million mark within few

more Importance that we are develop
ing our harbor resources under a COM

that a city plan commission is con-
stantly. studying ways and means to
make the city more beautiful; that the
habit of public generosity is growing
among us; that larger and more fire..
quent sums are being given to good
causes, and that the sense of com
munity and cooperation is on the
gain. We are glad that Providence is
steadily increasing in population, but
we ought to be yet more glad that it
is also growing Observation-Disclosures

men OF NOTE DIE ON BATTLEFIELD

Italy went to war the Italians were
transferred to their own army, but
previously they fought brilliantly, and
two grandsons of Garibaldi lost their
lives in France.
THE nucleus of the Second regi-
ment was formed ON the evening of
July 81, 1914, in a Partisan cafe. Some
young Italians issued an appeal, and
as result about three thousand Eng
fish. Belgians, Italians and Slavs at
tended the meeting to consider how
they could best aid the country Of
their adoption.
I'm the early hours of the first day
of August l was passing along the
Boulevard Haussmann and saw thou
sands of foreigners waiting in a line
that extended for the greater part of
a mile.
THE British residents in Paris tried
to form a regiment of their own, and
as result of the first meeting, held
at the Imperial club, about 500 men
offered themselves for enrolment.
The authorities, however, were unable
to accept the offer of separate regi-
ment, and the same reply was given
to the corps of American volunteers,
so it was decided that the British and
American volunteers should be draft
ed into the foreign legion.
35,4oo in the Legion.
about four hundred of them began
drill at once in the exhibition grounds
of the Magic City. Every new recruit
CT the legion had to pass an extremely
severe medical examination, which
was held beneath the shadow of Ma
poleons tomb, and about 20 per cent
were rejected. l believe the actual
number accepted was 35,400.
After the first few months all the
British members were transferred to
English regiments, but not before they
had been in several engagements and
suffered losses.
Most of the American members Pc
titioned to join the Flying corps. and
France has so many American flying
men now that squadron of Ameri-
cans is being formed. Dutchmen,
Swedes, Danes and Americans. who
could legitimately have remained look
ers on, have cheerfully laid down
their lives on the battlefields of
France.
"The pay of the men of the legion
Is the same as that of the other SOL
diers of France-five sous per day
and an allowance of tobacco and wine
so there is no question of the nter-
cenary spirit having melted men who
have thrown up good positions to fight
for France"

GARDEN EVER WORTH WHILE
Plot of Land Need Not Cost a Great
Deal of Money, But Deserves
Careful Thought.

Now that the value of architectural
garden features is becoming more
universally recognized, it behooves the
homebuilder to give the matter due
consideration. Few houses are too
modest or have grounds too small to
permit some such interesting touch
1t may be simple arbor seat, trel-
lis or even garden gate, but whatev-
er the architectural features are, the
fanciful or grotesque should be avoid
ed and only artistic simple lines be
employed.
The question of the material en-
ployed in these features is of the ut
most Importance. A close relationship
should be maintained between the ma
terials here and those employed in the
adjacent buildings.
While it is not necessary in all
cases that a stated material be used,
the style and details of the house
should always suggest the nature of
the garden features; as, for instance,
a brick country house of colonial style
with exterior trim of which would
naturally call to mind visions of white
trellis work, white wood pergola or a
white arbor along simple colonial lines.

Gle Henry, also thanking him and an
nouncing his intention of accepting
his kind offer.
All that Robert fancied this latter
relative to be he found him-a jolly,
careless old man living in an antiquat-
ed mansion, reputed wealthy but per-
sonally insisting that his means were
as a dime to double eagle compared
with the massive riches of Brother
James. From the start Robert felt
that his life had, fallen in pleasant

after his arrival

Have, hey?" remarked his relative
with quizzical CLEAN in his kindly
old eyes-"what line, now"
Down at the steel plant"
You don't mean common labor

About that. See here, uncle, my
bent at college was along mechanical
engineering lines and I've made up my
mind to learn all there is about metals
and construction from the ground up"

Robert. Uncle Henry never talked of
his riches, but Robert learned that he
was regarded as a substantial man in
q capital way. Besides his possible
wealth, however, his long honorable
standing in the community had made
him respected. and the old man was
in fact listed with the aristocracy of
the town.
He introduced Robert among good
people. There was a calculating ex-
preston in the wise eyes of Mr.. Laid
law after he had spent an evening
with the Carringtons.

"Oh! like those natural friendly
