Where Ane;ents ExceIIed.

Although tunneling is among the most ancient of enterprises, more pro- gross has been made in the last cen- tury than in the twenty centuries which preceded it. It is now known that back in the semimythical days of the Theban kings the long tunnel into the mountain rock, expanding at a dis tance of 400 feet or so, into some lofty chamber, was a common work. The rock temples of Nubia and India, too, show that in certain matters at any rate moderns may still learn from tho ancients.

Of course the fellow who whistles at his work is likely to annoy some one near him who is nervous and irrl- table, but the whistling Is good omen. Singing awakens the emotions. and whether a man can carry tune or not, something breaks loose inside him something gives way and permits him to enter more heartily into any service or celebration. provided he. too. can lift his voice with the others.

bureau OF animal industry, by coop
Grafton with state agricultural col
leges, is putting a corps Of 40 poultry
experts into the field. for the purpose
Of stimulating the people to keep
chickens and raise chickens.
Already a number Of American
cities have lifted the ban on chickens
by so amending their laws that pcul-
try may be raised within their limits
Many more cities are expected TO fol-
low suit, as the federal battery OF

cities are the most formidable bar
rier to the Increase OF poultry. and
the conversion OF garbage into eggs
The cities and towns must change
their laws. For, upon study OF the
question, II is found that the hen Is
not the party who brought this legal
disability upon her kind It was her
noisier half. It was the Growing
rooster.
You are not to be asked to keep a
large flock. Two hens for each mem
Der Of the family Is about right The
table scraps VIII keep these with q
very little grain and green feed to
supplement It They viii provide
about an egg a day for each mem
Der Of the family. That Is more than
the average family eats. To be ex-
act, the average consumption per cap
tia is "A dozen eggs a year. The
average consumption OF poultry IS
two and one half fowls per capita
Thus. II family OF three keeps six
hens, It may in theory get more than
the average number OF eggs When
the hens quit laying. they can be
eaten, 50 that each member Of the
family viii be only half a hen behind
his regular allowance OF poultry. Il
the birds have been fed on the table
scraps. the only expense OF the whole
operation will be the differences be-
tween the market value Of the birds
when they were bought and when
they were killed.

il now.
Any big official in q big company
who discovers an underling posupon-
ing the very slightest bit OF business

Of any efficiently managed organi-

one clerk and one stenographer.
The only way to get things done is
to do them promptly. Waiting for
