ROOSTER TO IMPROVE FLOCK
Difficult Matter TO Select coekerels as
They Are So Much Alike When
Quite Young.

The kind of cockerel used Is far
more important than most poultry
raisers believe. The fact that one bird
looks well and Is healthy and active
Is a good indication Of n good bird.
But this Is not enough. The male bird
should be OF such good breeding that
he will improve the flock. II he is
not capable Of doing this he is not
worthy of his place as head of the
flock.
When you are selecting the male
birds from the young cockerels OF your
W flock you should use your best
judgment and find the best individuals.
In this case you must be Influenced
by the appearance Of the birds, as for
the most part the cockerels will be
about the same In breeding unless you
have trap-nested and kept records on
the hens.
1t is rather hard to select young
cockerels, as they may often deceive
one when they are quite young. Like

Our Hideous War Posters

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: As an art lover I wish to register \
protest against the atrocities masquerading
as war and Liberty Loan posters. What right
has Washington to pursue campaign for
the degradation Of the publics taste and the
offending Of all persons with mentalities
above that of the troglodyte? 80 Liberty! Lib
erty. How many crimes are committed ir'
thy name!" Nine. Roland was some proph-
etess.
The thought one has is that il the powers
are so stupid in the matter of posters will
they not be equally stupid with the money
and men they are asking US to intrust them
with? The only possible use one of those
war posters can have is that men may enlist
to 20 to France to escape them.
Those posters are sent out as inanmate
statesmen. What chance would animate
salesman. loud. vulgar, offensive, have Of
selling bonds? Soldiers who look like lounge
lizards, and Miss Columbias drawn by the
same artists who make the china dolls for
homographic serials. II. C. GREENING.

Reprisals for Air Raids

Mr. Lloyd Georges promise to pay Ger
MANY back with compound interest Will
90 far toward allaying the impatience and
indignation of those who have suffered
most grievously in the recent air raids on
England. 1t is true that reprisals will not
insure them immunity, but at least they
will have the satisfaction Of knowing that
the enemy will not in future go unpunished.
Until lately airplanes were not able to
operate with much success except IN day
light. But for some time past the Germans
have practised constantly at flying by
night and it is well known what end they
have in view. An aerial police for cities
nav be more or less effectual by day, but
at night it cannot afford anything like
adequate defence, however large it may be.
Airplanes are swifter than Zeppelins,
much more difficult to find and when found
cfrer a far smaller target. The damage
suffered by the invaders in all the raids OF
the last week or so was insignificant in
comparison with the loss of a single Yep
pelin, and though it is probable that COM
paratively few actually penetrated the de-
fences of London itself the defences are
rrodigiously out of all proportion to the
number engaged in the enterprise. 1t is
probable that much larger fleets will be
sent out in the future.
The demand for large squadrons from
the front to defend London is hardly rea-
sonable. They cannot easily be afforded
for such service, and it would be much more
to the point to spoil the raiders at their
source in so far as that is practicable. In
the meantime the promise Of reprisals, of
che kind or other. will doubtless tend to
silence the clamor for enterprises OF an
entirely futile kind. And a useful form of
reprisals is perhaps not an impossibility.

How Simply Can You Live?

The great American game of BLUM, OF
splurge. of pretentious living, has no place
IN wartime. The more it is squeezed out
of our lives and our budgets the more
money we can save, the more we can help
our country in the most vital OF all ways
buving its Liberty bonds that make our
fight possible.
Most of us realize this truth in "a gen
eral way. But a good many of us are
feeling the pinch of high prices to such an
extent that extravaganza looks in our own
cases like a remote and forgotten sin.
What is worth accenting and repeating is
that the American desire TO put the best
foot forward, to make noise ike sue
cess. let the bank balance show what 1t
NAV. is too ingrained to die quickly, and
that there are very few of us, even IN
Guiding those pinched between fixed sal
aries and mounting costs, who could not
eliminate certain eXtravagances If we
would and who could not live more simply
ii we felt free to try.
The American spirit of competition that
rules every social community, up and down
the scale of income, is not altogether
vicious. 1t is probably an essential part
Ct our system of free opportunity that
HOSTS a telegrapher into railroad presi-
dency-and sends his grandson CORE
sponding distance downhill. What is ut
terly vicious now is the perpetuatlon OF
that spirit in the least degree, to the de-
struction of saving urgently needed by our
government.
Courage and leadership should set pre-
cisely an opposite spirit to the fore IN
every community. How simply can each
of us live? That ought to be the goal of
competition now. At the bottom of the
scale it nav mean one less movie or last
years hat. At the top it may mean any
thing from last years limousine to next
wears chateau. The amount of needless
spending, the amount of possible saving, is
not the point. The point is that every
American ought TO talk, preach and act
economy Every community ought to get
down to common-sense dressing and COM
r1on-sense entertaining. The family most
respected ought to be the family that
makes the greatest sacrifice OF eXtrava-
canoes and that succeeds in reducing its
living expenses to the simplest, most SEN
sible scale-and then puts the greatest pro-
norton of its savings into Liberty bonds.

Delayed Mail From a Soldier Son

letter dated August % on board ship in
sight of land in Europe since This
son is twenty-five years of age, and has been
absent from home nearly three years. He

personally, for he was only allowed a peep

What Our Library Does
And Why Its Librarians Must Have
Better Pay
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The Librarians of the New York Pub
lie Library are launching a campaign for
higher salaries We are the poorest paid OF
aly of the trained city employees, in spite Of
the fact that ours is profession which re-
auires as high educational qualifications and
as thorough training as the teachers in the
city schools. At present the maximum sal
sry of librarian of senior assistant grade.
one of the advanced grades OF the service,
hardly equals that of teacher entering
upon her first year of service in the city
schools.
1t is an indisputable fact that the assist
ants in the junior grades positively cannot
live on their salaries, which in many cases
are less than those of the lowest grade
clerks in the municipal service. Because Of
this fact thus far this year 81 per cent Of
the library staff have been forced to resign
10 seek more remunerstive employment-a
rather serious state of affairs.
It behooves the Board OF Estimate and APP
portionment, the taxpayers and the public in
general to become aware of the fact that the
New York Public Library is in danger Of
having to close its doors because OF the de-
sertion from the staff of so many Of our best
workers
To the Board Of Estimate and Apportion-
ment we say: Come and investigate us. To
any deluded persons who think that library
work consists simply in sitting behind a
desk and looking pleasant, we say, pay US p
visit behind the scenes in the library and
see the enormous amount of routine work
that is done, to say nothing of the impor-
tant educational work that is done. To the
many people who think that the New York
Public Library is an institution conducted
solely for the circulation of light fiction for
the amusement of the public, we say come
and examine our circulation file and see the
large number Of text books We circulate for
the use Of needy college students who per-
haps could not complete their education
were it not for the valuable aid that the
library gives them. Visit our reference
rooms and see the work we do with stu
dents teachers, etc.
We hear great deal concerning the en-
largement of the city parks, to keep the chill
dren from playing on the streets, and be-
lieye the city has this last year appropriated
large sum for the extension Of the play
grounds Of Van Cortlandt Park. wonde
if the city officials have any idea of the
work the chldren's department of the IL
brary is doing in keeping the children from
the streets by entertaining them and in
structng them after school hours through
story hours. boys and girls clubs, etc.
To the city officials and the taxpayers we
say: Wake up! Become really acquainted
with your great New York Public Library
and then our fight for living wage will be
won. HILAH FAULKNER.
