MEAT TYPE GROWS RAPIDLY

The meat type. in all kinds of poul-
try, is the type that grows rapidly and
at maturity carries abundant flesh,
especially where the preferred parts
of the meat are produced. The most
desirable meat type is rather fine in
bone, with the frame we'll knit but not
too compact Under any kind of good
management a hen of this type that is
in normal condition will be a good
layer. She may not lay any better
than a hen not quite so well, and when
the time comes to make meat of her
she makes more and better meat, and
as a breeder she naturally tends to re-
produce offspring that will make more
and better meat.
Such hens are in reality of the dual
purpose type, no matter what their
size or breed. They are equally val
liable for eggs and meat. That is the
kind of stock that will contribute most
to the big increase in poultry that is
wanted. 1t is the dual-purpose type
of every breed-a type that exists IL
every breed, and can easily be made
the prevalent type without detrimen
to any breed, and to the benefit Of
every breed-that has suffered from
neglect.

NO COUNTRY FOR POOR MAN
Brazilians Are Compelled to Pay Elk.
traordinarily High Prices for All
the Necessaries of Life.

Rio de Janeiro, the most wonderful
~ reconstructed city in the world, was
also. until recently, one of the most
pleasure loving. Today the president
is endeavoring to instill war economy
into the nation before it feels the brunt
of war-a by no means easy task.
Economy is not easily preached in a
country where state lotteries are of
daily, and public holidays of all too
frequent, occurrence. The most popu-
lar of the latter is the carnival, which
occupies the four days preceding Ash
Wednesday.
Brazilians who complain of the high
cost of living will probably wish to see
war economy continued in times of
peace. 1t costs about $7.20 a day to
live at all comfortably in Rio. Some
manufactured articles are now difficult
to obtain, and the cost of everything
sowing to the war" and the colossal
protective tariffs, is such as to make
unaccustomed English folks feel faint
with terror. A ready-made drill jack

how "a fourth shock-haired cyclopS
of the desert, whom the fieetneSS of
their mares had outstripped, trotted
in after them, uncouthly seated upon
the rawbone, narrow withers Of his
dromedary, without saddle, without
bride. and only as herdsman driving
with his voice and the camel-stick. His
fellows rode with naked legs and I'M
shod upon their beautiful mares bare
backs, the halter in one hand, and the
long balanced lance, wavering upon
the shoulder, in the other. We should
think them sprawling riders: for
boast or warlike exercise, in the pres
ence of our armed company. they let
US view how fairly they could ride a
career and turn; striking back heels,
and seated low with pressed thighs,
they parted at hand gallop, made
tourney or two easily upon the plain
and now wheeling wide, they betook
themselves down In the desert, every
man bearing and handling his spears
as at point !; so fetching a compass
and we marching, they little out of

the most ragged of these riders was a
very perfect young and startling chest
nut mare-so shapely there are few
among them. Never combed by her
rude master, but all shining, beautiful
and gentle of herself, she seemed a

worthy Of her gracious pasterns; the

CATER THE WAR;

According to the reconstruction res
Iolutions before Congress, it appears
that no plans have yet been seriously
considered for the rehabilitation of
our Army and Navy after the war
The problem as to what is to be done
with these men must be solved.
Secretary Lane of the Interior De-
partment, appears TO be the only cab
met officer who has come forward to
announce a plan of betterment for
our soldiers when they return from the
battle fronts. Nevertheless it is a
fact that practically every department
and bureau of the government has
been developing ways and means to-
ward reconstruction, and they will all
be put forward. Secretary Lane, in
a letter to President Wilson, recalls
that following the Civil war the sol
diers went upon the homestead land
which was thrown open to entry Con-
gress is asked to get busy upon
plan that has been outlined by him to
prepare government lands, to supply
drainage and other important and ex-
tensive improvements that will be
necessary before land in great guam
Titles can be made available. At the
close of the Civil war this was an ag-
ricultural. rather than manufactur-
ing nation, and it is impossible to fore
cast the percentage of soldiers who
will go upon farm lands. 1t will be
necessary to provide employment for
five million men and to transfer mil
lions of war workers into employ
ment in civil life.
There is in process of completion
war orders amounting to billions of
dollars and when a declaration of
peace comes most of these will neces-
sarily be cancelled Immediately. Con-
gress is beginning to pay attention to
these problems which will entail
great losses to manufacturers, run
ming into amounts aggregating bill
lions of dollars, and the adjustment
of which will create situation of I'M
certainty that will exist for years to
come. ultimately connected with the
question of labor is the one relating
to social welfare" declared one of the
Senators, who added that the Euro
pean countries have taken steps, nat
ionally, relating to welfare questions;
for example, the provision for old age
pensions, life insurance and other SIM
| liar matters.

NEW QUESTIONS AHEAD

. The Senate proceedings bring out
the fact that at the end OF the war we
are likely to have a merchant meet
larger than that of any other country
in the world-different relative posi-
tion than the one we held at the be-
ginning of the war This feet will be
very largely owned by the Govern
ment. and it is a problem that must
be decided as to whether we are gong
to sell the yards, lease them, or to
operate them.
Another immense problem confront
ing the Government and the country,
affects manufacturing plants and
other establishments created for war
purposes. the machinery for which
NAV or may not be available for after
war production. 1t is likewise con-
sidered a subject for the immediate
present to decide what we are gong 10
do with the millions of war workers
now so busily employed who will IND
themselves out of employment when
reace has been declared. 1t appears
imnerative that the Government must
take some action TO protect Its wal
workers. The Government has an end
less number of buildings now Delns
used for exclusive war purposes, ana
il must be determined what is going to
be done with these buildings. What
also is to be done with the houses the
Government has provided for its wal
workers? Surely all this vast equip
ment must not deteriorate or go In the
scrap heap. At the same time the
Government cannot always do 1t all
Private initiative must return 70 pear

cooperate industry will not solve the
nroblem and a wise modern philosoph-
or gives this reason: because IN

the many must follow, which renders

Almost Lost Precious Card.

One of those absentee registrants"
signed up at the city postoffice one
day last week, and received his reg
istration card for transmission to his
local board In his home town.
This man must have been an absent
minded registrant as well, as the Sc
quel will show. He calmly placed the
registration card In an envelope, ad-
dressed the envelope to his local
board, put on the stamp, and walked
out into the street.
As he passed trash box he dropped
the letter into the opening and went
his way with clear conscience Of
having done his first duty under the
man power law.
Luckily for him, postman coming
out Of the building saw the mistake
he made and rescued the letter from
the trash. By this time the registrant
had boarded a car, SO the letter car
rier dropped the letter containing the

Concerning the sneeze.

Sneezing was considered unlucky In
Wales, but In Europe generally it was
deemed lucky, unless overdone. If a
man sneezed more than three times II
was sign of bad luck. The Welsh
belief in III luck has prevailed and II
IL a very general custom among Ital.
ians when person sneezes to say,
sGod be with you"
1t is curious that among the older
generation of East Prussians and Poles
a French word is used when anyone
sneezes. It is ''assez" (enough), mean
ing that continuation of the par
oxysm would be a sign Of catching
cold.

PRAISES MARYLAND ROADS

That Maryland had the best roads
of any state in the East which he
visited was told in part of the letter
that Frank Zouck, chairman of the
State Roads Commission, received
from Thomas H. Macdonald, chief
engineer of the Highway Division OF
Iowa.
Macdonald recently made tour OF
the Eastern States to observe the
methods of road construction in this
section. After his return he wrote
the letter to the Baltimore official and
said that many of the ideas and meth
DDS which were used here would prob
ably be adopted in his State
