Victim of Hun Bomb Tells
 Vivid Story Of Air Raid

London, January 31.-(Correspond- ence of The Associated Press. )-The murderous work of German airplane raider by whose bombs many women and children were crushed or burned to death in recent raid on London is vividly described in an interview by one of the victims in the Daily Chronicle. It is such stories as this that have reused the Briton to grim wrath and the demand for vengeance The narrator, a man, had taken ref uge in a shelter with many others including number of women and children.
 "We had scarcely got the last of the people in when the bomb fell," said the man. "All of them had been as calm and cheerful as you could wish up to then. The children particularly were fine. They were singing "The Bull Dog Dreed' and Way down in Tennessee and the younger kiddies were yelling until most of them tumb- led off to sleep in their mothers arms or on the piles of paper strewn about the place.
 "The came the explosion. There was short, sharp missing sound, which I suppose it made in its decent, which even in the basement we could hear quite distinctly, and then came the crash, worse than anthing I have ev- CT heard. 1 think most of. us down there were stunned for a moment or two. and the air seemed full of flying pieces of concrete. Fortunately I was just outside two big iron doors at the time. so l escaped the worst of it, but l think it must have been at that time my hand was injured.
 Fragments were blocking up the exit, and we had to fight through to clear way out. It was pitiful to hear the women, some calling out distractly for their children, and oth- CTS screaming that their babies had been killed in their arms. Some of the children we brought out were dead.
 "Our firemen were at work as quick

ly as possible, but in few minutes the whole place was like furnace. The bomb had fallen and exploded, yet not more than ten feet away came across two little children stand ing absolutely untouched. They were crying with fright, and 1 got hold of them and managed to get them out. That was about the last I remember of it, for almost immediately fainted-Y suppose with the pain of my hand and arm, of which only then did l seem conscious.
 "One great mass of concrete, weigh ing, l should think, about ton, had fallen down right on group of four women. Three of them were killed outright, l think, but the fourth was only pinned down and was screaming out to be released. Four of us tried to get her out, but We couldn't make the stonework budge an inch, although We tried to lever it up with all kinds of things.
 "All the time the flames were get ting fiercer and fiercer and coming nearer and nearer, and at length one great burst of flame and smoke drove us right away, setting light to our clothes, and we could not get near the woman agin. One of the men was alight from head to foot, and we had to roll him in the water, which was ankle deep, before we could put out tho flames.
 "It's simply horrible inside there, a fireman told us. Masses of stuff had fallen down, making escape inn possible for some of the people, and we found them crouching down in all sorts of corners, all dead, where they had obviously tried to get away from the flame and smoke. One woman was kneeling down with two little mites huddled up to her.
 "It took five men to life up one great lump of concrete which lay across a woman's leg. She was dead, partly from burning and partly from suffocation, think"

Former Minister of Temple Anshe Emeth Shows How
 South is Hurt.

Rabbi Ephriam Frisch, minister of the New Synagogue, Broadway and Seventy sixth street, New York City, formerly :;l charge of Temple Anshe Emeth here. urges Southerners to dis courage resort to mob violence, and shows the harm done the South by these outbreaks. Enclosing an edi toTial clipped from the New York Evening Post, sent him by a member of his c0n9Iegation, with the question, What Did Jesus Of Nazareth say about casting the first stone?' and his response to that query and editor ial, Rabbi Frisch writes The Graphic, under date of February 20, as follows:
 "A very fine lady who belongs to my congregation here in New York has sent me the enclosed clipping which appeared in the New York Eveuing Post on February 13, contain ing a news item of a horrible lynch ing which took place at Estill Springs. Tenn, the day before, and containing also an editorial on this lynching written by the editor of the above mentioned evening paper, which is re- garded as perhaps the most represent tative evening newspaper in New York : ity 1 wrote the lady the enclosed letter. l followed it up with plea from my pulpit to my Southern friends in the congregation to com municate with their relatives and friends in the South and do what they could in other ways to impress the white people of the South with the al h,t hnr nrh ch northern people and are hurting the reputation of the South for humaneness and self-restraint, and, further than this, that they are really ineXcusable violations of our best moral senti- ments and practices.
 "l am taking the liberty of sending you the clipping from the newspaper, together with my letter to the lady who complained and my additional comment as contained in my letter to you. in the hope that you will pub l;sh them in The Graphic. l think you know that l am a friend of the South: I love it and it's people and it is for that reason that l am so con- cerned for it's reputation and it's hon or l fully realize that there may be some narrow minded people who may not like the stand l am taking in this important matter, but l am willing to rest content with the opinion of the fnel\ spirits who know will support mo in an appeal for the application of the orderly processes of justice and in my horror for the release of the ravagc passions of bestisl fury.

SOLUTION OF FLOUR PROBLEM
Wheat Can BE Ground at Community
Mills and Farmer Enabled

One of the most serious problems
confronting the food administration is
that of transportation. This is par
ticularly so during the late Summer and
fall months. Along about the first Of
August grain crops are started NOV
ing and millions of bushels Of wheat
are offered to the railroads. With
wheat and the winter stock of coal to
carry the roads are usually swamped.
There is a shortage of rolling stock
and consequent congestion.
This freight congestion can be re-
1ieved in a great measure by milling
the wheat at home and thousands Of
freight cars diverted to the transporta-
ton of other necessary commodities.
incidentally it would relieve US of the
cost of carrying, the worry of chang
ing prices, commissions, etc.
Every community needs flour mill.

grown, but even in localities where

necessary conclusion the churn should
be only about one-third full. If toe
full, the churning period is prolOnged
and If the cream fOams it nearly fills
the churn and prevents conclusion. Inn
that case it is usually necessary to re-

butter color Is usually added. In win
ter the quantity required to produce
a shade of yellow like the desirable
June color varies from about 20 to 80
drops per gallon Of cream.
The color having been added to the
cream, the churn may be started at On
speed to produce the greatest concus-
sion, which may be determined largely
by the sound. About 60 revolutions a
minute is the usual speed for the com
mon barrel type Of churn. After o.
few revolutions the churn should be

Feeding garbage to hogs is in keep

There. is reason to believe, how

hogs are fed on garbage from cities of
10000 or more, from which, doubtless,
the garbage will be disposed of and

To find workers with farm expert
ence to help farmers harvest the
wheat crop town organizations, in
GLIDING in many cases those which so
successfully conducted the third Lib
erty Loan and the second Red Cross
campaigns, are now uniting their eff
forts.
If the wheat is to be saved, and 9TH
er needed farm work done. there must
be closer cooperation between the
town and country. Nonessential indus
tries must permit their employees, who
have had farm experience, to go to
the country and help during the har-
vest season.
Spend Vacation on Farm.
Commercial organizations should Sc
cure pledges from men who are willing
to devote a few days or weeks Of their
vacation in the harvest fields, and
should see that these men are placed
when and where they are most needed.
City Y. NJ. c. AS, athletic clubs and
country clubs should open their doors
to these men and give them an oppOr-
tunity to take physical exercise that
will prepare them for labor In the
fields. And women's organizations
should volunteer to go to the country
and help prepare meals for the army
Of harvest laborers, and in other ways
tighten the tasks Of their rural cous-
ms.
The plan which is to be followed is
to bring about coordination of effort
on the part Of every agency engaged
in securing farm labor. At meeting
held in Kansas City recently, which
was the first of series planned by
the department of agriculture, COM
mittee was appointed to formulate
plans and policies for the organization
of the various forces in the state so
that the needs of the farmers may be
met in an adequate way.
It is recognized that many men now

gagged in other city work would In
their present condition be unable to
go into the fields and withstand Sc
we're labor. It was therefore proposed
and arrangements were made at the
Kansas City conference for all such
men who register for farm work to
take q special course in training under
the direction Of the Kansas City Ath-
letic club. Here is an opportunity for
similar clubs, Y. NJ. G. A. and coun-
try clubs of other cities to render def
mite service in connection with the
farm-labor problem.

SHIPPING EGGS IN CAR LOTS
Average Losses Of From 8 to 9 Per
Cent Can Be Greatly Reduced
by Proper Packing.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agrtculture.)
The amount Of damage sustained in
marketing eggs in carload shipments
which, according to various reliable
authorities, averages from to 9 per
cent, has been reduced to less than
per cent in tests conducted by the Unit
ed States department Of agriculture,
covering a period of more than two
years and in which the eggs were ship
ped on an average Of 1900 miles. By
following good, commercially prac-
tcable methods of packing, storing,
and hauling, eggs can be transported
In carload lots with a total damage,
including Cheeks" "dents" and '1eak-
ers," of less than 2 per cent.
In order to reduce egg losses to the
minimum they should be packed in new
standard cases symmetrically made
with 5, or preferably 6, 3-penny cement
coated nails at each corner Of the sides
and bottom and at the center partition.
cases made of cottonwood have, on the
whole, the greatest number Of adva1-
tages. Medium filters (three pounds,
three Ounces) or heavier should be
used. 1t is absolutely necessary, also,
that the filler be perfectly new. Even
short-haul shipment into the packing
house should disqualify the filler for
further use. Suitable cushions Of ex-
celsior, with a fiat, should be placed
on the top and bottom Of the case.
corrugated board on the top Of the case
AFFORDS practically the same protection
as the excelsior cushion, provided it
takes up the slack.
The load Of eggs must be solid unit
IN the car, fitting without play. This
IS the most important factor In avoid
ing damage in transit. The amount OF
uamage in properly loaded cars buffed

same cars buffed with wood. In plac-
aug the buffing, care should be taken

Small Flock of Good Hens Will Supply
Enough Eggs for Average Family.


Enough Eggs for Average Family.
hens in back yards is an economic
opportunity for city families and at
the same time an essential part of the
campaign for increasing poultry pro-
ductiOn.
The smallest and least favOrably sit
uated back yard, says the department,
offers opportunity to keep at least
enough hens to supply eggs for the
household. The number of hens needed
for that purpose is twice the number
Of persons to be supplied. Hence,
the smallest flock to be considered
consists Of four hens. When hens are
kept only to furnish eggs for the table
no male bird is needed.
A coop for a flock of four hens
should have a floor area Of about 20
square feet. orabout five feet per hen.
For larger flOcks the space al
lowed per bird may be little less, be-
cause the space is used in common,
and each bird has the use of all the
coop except what her companions actu-
ally occupy. For the ordinary flock of
10 to Is hens, the space allowed should
be about four Fquare feet per hen.

So far as can be aScertained In cases
in which failure has been met with
the trouble has been mostly. due, to the
claim q large portion of the animals {;
IN other words, the owners failed to
immunize their stock In q proper man
ner. The belief that hogs fed on garb-
age are exposed daily to the danger Of
cholera infection is well founded.
There is always the possibility that
garbage contains scraps of pork, such
as rinds and trimmings from hams
and bacon, or products of cholera car
cases that have been prepared for
markets at small local slaughterfng
houses where no inspection is main
tanned. These pieces Of choleraic pork,
without doubt, will reproduce the dis

susceptible animals, besides creating
source Of infection which may be re-
tanned on the premises under garbage
feeding conditions.

lily arrange to cook the garbage thor
oughly before feeding and in this way
eliminate, to a large degree, the dam
ger of cholera infection. If, however,
large herds are fed on garbage en-
tirely. cooking is not practicable and
from the feeders point Of view it Is
not advisable. Therefore, in all such
cases 1t is Of the utmost Importance
that the animals be immunized and
thus protected from hog cholera; in
fact, owners Of such enterprises should
be sure that; hogs are permRneptly i'm
mune before they are placed on such
feed. -
Pigs narrowed from immune sows
have a natural resistance to hog chol-
era during their sucking period. When
they are about to lose this degree Of
immunity, about weaving time, they
should be given the simultaneous inoc-
ulation (serum and virus). Even with
this method of treatment a few in
dividuals may become again suscep-
tible; therefore the herd should be
observed closely at all times and
treated again IT, any Of the animals
show signs Of infection.
Considering the, income derived from
hogs and the reasonable rates at which
garbage has been obtained, the extra
expense Of treating the animals must
be viewed as part Of business prop
osition, such as insuring against de-,
struction by fire or against accidents
of any kind; and feeders Of garbage
cannot consider their business as safe
unless they protect it against all pos
sible reverses, of which the most seri-
GUS is hog cholera.
