10 the profit system.
 Their viewpoint is a class view point, and hopefessly narrowed to the individual cases that present themselves to them. In consequence they are fighting losing or gain ing battle against an endless chain of diseases which are provided just as fast as the system can grind them out.
 At one time when the babies ill New York were dying at the rate of forty an hour, the munificent sum of eighty thousand dollars was ap- propriated to fight the disease. Yet we can appraise peter the scientific nature of the achievement of the physicians when we recollect that upon the foot and mouth disease affecting the cattle a year ago, the sum appropriated amounted to several millions. The affected cor rals were destroyed cars were sub
 
 were burned, whole districts quar- antiaed, special serivce men ap. pointed to handle the situation, anl steps taken to prevent recurrence of any outbreak of the disease or its possible recurrence as an epidemic Ther9 were no veterinarians who dared to say that the disease would burn itself out. If so their public position would have been promptly made untenable for the nation cannot afford to lose it's cattle or it's hogs. Can it afford to lose it's human population? Can it at- ford to risk it's babies?
 Truth to tell there is no more weary reading that the self adulatory addresses of tuberculosis congresses. These eulogies which these master symptom-fighters utter are a weari- ness of the soul and just as vain. They know that .hey are combating effects and not one of them has the hardihood of mind to rise among these charlatans and de- nounce ,the quackery of their me .thods as hypocritical and useless For they are not ignorant men. They are men with a scientific train ing that reaches an astonishing degree of efficiency. Most of them have profound insight into various departments of real knowledge. Yet they cowardly evade the real issue that confronts them, and that is that they must attack the cause of these dreaded epidemics if they are to control and conquer them. That is not to be done by absorbing glo- bular millions from some foundation for palliative treatment or for research into the effects which they are later to endeavor to combat. But it will be found in their man. fully facing the truth before them and falling back upon the some what elementary principle of the healing art remove the cause and the effect will cease". Does their courage rise to that moderate standard? Evidently not.

ENGLAND FAILS TO
 PAY IRISH, RECRUITS

Dublin, Ireland. March 31.s--- The aO'Conor Don, the Lord Lieutenant of County Roscommon, and. one of the
 most active supporters of recruiting in Ireland, has written to the Dublin press complaining that the promise of support to their dependents. made to young Irishmen on en1iNting has been very inadequately kept. Delays of months have, he says, taken place in the payments and in many instances the amounts allotted have been to- tally Inadequate. Wounded and dis charged soldiers have been returning to their homes in Connaught, aud are often sent back totally unfit for work and without any pay or pension being granted to them. The O'Connor- Don gives several specific cases with full particulars in proof of his statements

appeal and the physiology and hy-- giene of adolescence as main argu- ments. They brought out deep, psy- chological aspects of-~sex education ment, the complete .reversion to, re- Hgious principles in the whole matter.
 At best Dr. Snow said, t'the writ ten word has it's limitations. Many a child needs sympathetic 1nterpre- tation. Even the ideal pamphlet could not bet much more than text book. Like the arithmetic primer success in. understanding lies a great deal with the teacher. With the street boy and the street girl, the pamphlet must do all it can, alone. It is a concrete beginning in the right direction. We hope to develop from this and from all the valuable correspondence re- ceived even better literature. The winning pamphlet of Dr. and Mrs. Armstrong is addressed directly to boys, and gives, in smooth and whole some way, reasons for condrcf during adolescence which will lead to the fin est qualities of manhood and woman hood.
 The contest judges were: Mrs. Mar tha P. Falconer, superintendent of the Sleighton Farms State Training School for Girls; Dr. Lee K. F'rankeI, sixth vice-president of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company; Dr. Luther H. Gulick, president of the Camp Fire Girls of America; Miss Julia c. La throp, chief of the Chi1dren's Bureau of the Department of Labor; Dr. Mil ton J. Rosenau, of Harvard Medical school; pr. Victor c. Vaughan, Uni versity of Michigan; Mrs. Ella. FIagg Young, formerly superintendent of schools in Chicago. It was the opin- ion of the judges that this contest had accomplished these valuable points: It called the attention of the public to the fact that people in general are not satisfied with the methods or the ma teria1 which has been used for sex fn- struction of children. It has stfmu- lated interest and reduced vague ideas to writing which will be the basis of better literature.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-03-31

We have too many plain facts wait ing for the child after our friendly understanding of one another. Briefly the policies in. our pamphlet are these: placing emphasis upon the beauty of cleanliness and decency. Recogni- tion of the importance of early, in struction if we are to avoid misun- derstandings Supply the children a decent understandab bIe vocabulary which they can use with self-respect. This is something that does. not exist either for children or for adults. Elm phasize the social content of the prob lem; the econ onic waste of wrong doing, and the fact that the individ- ual is not an isolated being but a community member with social obli- gations.
 Preachers consider the imparting of this information the rightful duty of parents; parents through ignorance pass the responsibility to others; and so we have had to start the work with the largest children, the college men and women. From here it has come to the high-schooI students. This new novem ent is for adolescence. Our smallest children will be our next problem, though it universally is rec ognized that the education of ado1es- cent youth is the imm important step. If this contest stopped short with the receipt of the competitive pamphlets, imm measurab1e good would have been accomplished by actual Knowledge gained by the authors
 Dr. William Freeman Snow, general secretary of the education department of the American Social Hygiene asso- citation, who has collaborated with the committee of judges in reviewing the manuscripts submitted, said yesterday that he wished to take this opportu- nifty to asure the mothers throughout the country who so earnestly sub nitted pamphlets based upon their own hom experiences, that the deci- sion in no way meant that the win ming treatise was first from every viewpoint. It most nearly measured up to what the committee considered essential. Pamphlets written along other methods, by story, parable, let ter, discourse to parents, to boys and girls separately, were meritorious in many instances, each in it's own field. Some of the contributors advocated highly technical treatment, inclusion of anatomy descriptions, illustrations, biology as the basis, heredity as an

NO FEAR OF OVER-PRODUC-
 TON, SAYS VROOMAN.

Too many American farmers to- day are merely giving themselves hired mems jobs. Few of them at tain the ambition of the business man who expects to make interest on his wages for his time, and a profit besides; all because they fail to realize that farming is a. bNsiness as much as running a steel plant, a saw mill or a bank says Carl s. Vroo- man. assistant secretary, U. s. Depart ment of Agriculture. We need have no fear of over-product1on. There are persons who fear that a general adoption of the principles of scien- tific agriculture will result in such an abundance of products that prices will be ruinously low. From the stand point of pure agronomy, they show that our average yield per acre of wheat, for example, can be doubled"

ELEVEN HUNDRED BUSHELS OF BEETS FROM ONE ACRE.

Eleven hundred bushels of beets from one acre. is the profitable crop raised by A. E., Hodge. of Somerset County, Maine, last year. Two hun dred bushels sold at 60 cents per bush el. paid for the entire cost of growing the crop, which left net profit of 900 bushels or $54O. Twenty loads of manure and 1,500 pounds of high grade fertilizer were applied in the spring. The same intensive methods were used in raising turnips, ruta- bagas and other truck crops.

 The price of the Riker Truck is about the same as for other trucks, but every man who operates a mech anica1 equipment of any kind knows that the better built a mechanism the more economical IT is to : run.
 @
 There is more high grade material used in the Riker Truck than in any other truck in America.
 CE1ro177e-11ickeI steel in frame, in gears, in propeller shaft, in driving ax1es. The frame oversize-the transmission gears extra wide and extra 1arge-the propeller shaft and driving axle very 1arge-the center housing of the rear axle massive.
 Special metals, and competent engineering make the Riker Truck not only the strongest but the 1ightest truck of it's rated capacity.
 All the parts are access ib1e.
 It is easy to get easily started-easily steered and driven.
 
 Whether for a single truck or for a whole install 1ation of trucks-our Main Offices in this city, managed from our Main Offices in Bridgeport, is in position to give prompt and intelligent service to owners.

The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-03-31

Men with the best inten- lions in the world often see only one or two things at a time.
 But in no profession in the world is the faculty of seeing he thing as a whole more important than in motor truck design.
 As an am pie, the Schnieder trucks in~Paris, which automatically left the bus service and delivery work and became armed wagons when war was declared, are mostly all running.
 Why Because the for eign governments, clever and prepared, had arranged >for certain standards in de- sign and material
 A truck that Is worths' while for war IS worth while for business.
 One'reason, perhaps, why the Governments of Europe took all the Rike1 Trucks that could be built except a few that had been secured in advance by big business in America.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-03-31

UptoAugust, 1914, there was a theory in the Auto mobile World that a truck that was giving service for business purposes could be depended on for war con- ditions.
 Six months war expe- rience proved that this is not true.
 ! But turn the heory around and it works out in practice:-
 The truck that hoEds up in war service is ideally serviceabIe in business traffic.
 For instance, in many business trucks, that were put into war service, the shifting of the heavy load strained the axle housings,
 In other cases they strip, ped the teeth off the gears.
 Itis t11e u17expecfed that is always happening.

 SUFFRAGE NEWS

1 Since the announcement of the in- tention of the National Woman Suf- frage Association to have a parade in Chicago on June 7th, many Con- necticut women have sent enquiries and have intimated their desire to be present. All women who can go are urged to make their plans early and to secure accommo odatlon in Chicago
 before leaving home. Already all the best hotels in Chicago are refusing business for that week on the ground that all their. rooms have been se- cured by the delegates for the Re-
 publican and the Progressive National
 conventions. The Illinois Suffrage Association will do it's best to secure
 rooms for visiting suffragists, but it
 will be impossible to count on good
 accomm odation unless arrangements are made early Mrs. Harrison Munro
 Brown, President of the Illinois Equal
 Suffrage Association is chairman of the Parade Committee in Chicago and information can be obtained from her at GOA Tower Building, Chicago, III.
 It would be best however, tor Connec-
 ticut women to communicate with
 Suffrage Headquarters in Hartford, as it is intended that each state shall
 be represented in the parade by a separate delegation.
 The National Association is very hopeful of the adoption of suffrage plank in the Republican National PIatform-in the interests of which
 the parade will be held. The Repub- lican leaders in Washington are show ing themselves very favorable to the constitutional amendment, and a party that have no states rights doc urine to interfere with granting woman suffrage nationally. The ProgressiVes had a strong woman suffrage plank in their national platform of 1912 and it is expected that the plank will be reinserted this year. With so many women voting in National Flee tions it is hardly likely that the Dem ocrats will be outdOne, and hence the suffragists count upon woman suf- frage blanks being adopted in the na- tiona1 platform of every party that nominates a presidential candidate.
 Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt has just returned from a visit to Des Moines | where she went in order to report | on the position of the woman suffrage | amendment in Iowa. The vote on this amendment comes early in June, | and Mrs. Catt reports that conoitIons in Iowa are most favorable to the | amendment. There is no such depth 1 of conservatism and prejudice to be l overcome in Iowa as in the Eastern | States; and the newspapers are prac- 1 tically all friendly and some of them | most earnestly advocating the amend 1 ment. Almost every public man of any standing is openly out for votes | for women and there is every reason | to expect favorable vote in June, 1916.
