FOWLS IN VIGOROUS HEALTH
Bright Red Comb, Clear Eyes and Ap
pearance Of AIertness Are to Be
Sought For.

The successful experienced poultry
man only needs one glance at your
pen Of chickens to enable him to make
a good estimate as to the health con-
dition of your flock.
A bright red comb, clear eyes and
an appearance of alertness, is seldom
seen except when a chicken is enjoy
ing the best Of health. Occasionally
1t Is true that hens which are overfat
and In danger Of apoplexy may carry
with them good health certificates
which are not deserved.
When the comb turns from its nat
ural bright red color to purple. or an
even darker shade, the caretaker may
expect ptomaine poisoning or other
form Of poisoning, indigestion or liver
trouble, and If the comb assumes a
light color, except when the bird is
molting. the poultry man should ex-
pect bowel trouble or tuberculosis.
One Of the first things the beginner
should study is the appearance of
health or disease as indicated by the
appearance Of the comb, eyes, car
riage and attitude Of his birds when
in vigorous health, and when out of
condition.

PUREBRED MALES ARE IDEAL
No Excuse for Using Anything but
Boar Of Highest QuaIIty-Be Caro-
ful Of His Disposition.

Since purebred males are plentiful
and reasonable In price, there is no
excuse for using anything but q pure
bred boar. The purebred male will
transmit his own qualities with greater
certainty than one that is not pure,
and will get pigs Of more uniform
quality and excellence; so that 1t pays
to use a purebred boar even for pro-
ducing meat on the farm or for mar
ket.
Before buying it is necessary to have
In mind the ideal type of boar wanted :;
then 1t is we'll to buy the nearest
thing to the ideal, or the best that
can be afforded. One should never
let few extra dollars on the price
stand In the way when n good boar Is
found. The fact that a boar should
come from strain which produces
large numbers Of pigs should not be
overlooked.
If an aged boar Is to be selected.
the disposition should be noticed, and
one that is vicious or tries to break
out Of lots and pens should be avoided.

SKETCHES OF THE MEN
 WHO RUN THE U. s. NAVY
>>>>>>>><>>>>>>>>
tBy United Press)

WASHINGTON, April 23. - The United States navy was the pioneer of all the navies of the world in adopt ing the electric drive for battleships. Now electric propulsion is universal. A few years will see the last of the old coal driven dreadnaught
 The change is considered the most revolutionary of all modern naval de- velopment.
 The man who accomplished it is Admiral Robert S. Griffin, engineer in chief of the U. s. navy.
 He is an expert of experts in any thing pertaining to marine construc- tion, and is one of the veterans of the bureau he now commands.
 The mechanical equipment of the great chain of radio stations which now link the United States with the Orient has been largely under the direction of Admiral Griffin. Through the transpacific leap the secretary of the navy at his desk in Washington can communicate instantly with his commander of the Asiatic fleet, wher- ever it may happen to be. The navy expects much more of Admiral Grif- fins mechanical genius.

MINES CAUSING TROUBLE ID
 SHIPPING
(BY Associated Pressl

LONDON, April B. - Mines laid in the important British shipping lanes by the German U-boats are proving just as serious a problem to the ad- miraltyl as the U-boats themselves. Sir Edward Carson, first lord of the admiralty, pointed out in a speech this week that "in the olden times the laying of mines was dangerous, but it was nothing then to what 1t is now, when the submarines are employed not only to sink ships, but to lay mines below the surface of the water
 Mines of this character have caused heavy loss in the English channel since the submarine campaign begun on February 1, and from the promiscu- ous way in which these machines were scattered they were much more diff ficult to deal with than when placed by surface craft in more or less de- fined areas.
 "A submarine can follow our mine sweepers," said Sir Edward Carson, "and as quickly as we sweep up mines they can lay new ones without our knowing or suspecting. Do not under estimate the danger and difficulties of that operation. Necessarily this practice involves the navy in a gi- gantic work to ensure even compara- tive immunity. Complete immunity cannot in the circumstances be ex- pected.
 Submarine mines of this character, freshly laid, were swept up in the path of the American liner St. Louis. Similar mines, from which it had providential escape, were found at a place where the St. Louis was an chored for several hours.
 During the past two months of ruth less submarining, three British de- stroyers have been sunk in the English channel by mines.

CHAMELEONS AMUSE THE
 WOUNDED
lBy Associated Pressl

ALEXANDRIA, Egypt, April 23. - A few score chameleons are an in dispensable part of the equipment of every military hospital in Egypt. Al though they are on duty in the wards chiefly because of their unsuitable ap- petite for flies, they also serve to amuse the patients, who never tire of watching the strange variations of tint assumed by the strange animals. A favorite occupation of the Highland CTS is to put chameleon against a background of piece of Tartin kilt. Here, the soldiers assert, the chame- leon has to admit itself beaten. After vain effort to mimic the colors of the kilt 1t takes on a more or less neutral tone and resigns itself to the inevitable.
