George w. Perkins of New York
chairman of the finance committee of
the War Work Council of the Y. NJ
C. A., has just returned from Europe,
where he spent over four months in
making a thorough investigation Of
the work done by the Y. M. c. A.
Chairman Perkins report is an i'm
pressive exhibit of the prodigious
service rendered by the great organic
alton in all directions in the war land.
and members and friends of the AS
ISOLATION may well feel that its big
task was well done. In his summary
Perkins says:
mo higher tribute could be paid to
the work of the Y. M. c, A. than that
which is now being paid by the Army
itself, for it is either taking over or
largely cooperating in the work of
continuing and enlarging the activities
instituted by the Y. M. c. A. at the
beginning of it's work in Europe.
After the armistice was signed, it was
neither necessary nor practical 10
keep the soldiers at military drill
every day Our men had not intended
to enter the army as permanent call
ing. They had simply gone into the
war to whip Germany. When the job
was finished, they were through, and
they wanted to come home immedi-
ately and get to work at their civilian
occupations, There were more than
100000 of them scattered through
France and Germany The great
question was how to occupy the time
of these men, how to give them
healthy occupation and at the same
time prepare them, at least in some
degree, for the work they were to take
up on returning home. The army at
once turned to the Y. M, C. A. for help
in solving this problem. General
headquarters assigned many high Of
ficers to cooperate in the work the
Y. M. C. A. was carrying on in ath-
letics, entertainment and educational
activities.
"The Army has not taken over the
Y. M. G. AS athletic and entertain
ment departments, but the officers of
the Army are now closely associated
with the Y. M. c. A. directors of
these activities, and tho two organiza-
tions, working in close corporation,
are today shaping the policy of en-
tertainment and athletic activities, the
Y. M. C. A. furnishing the money,
and the Y. M. C. A. and Army joint
ly furnishing the personnel. I believe
that the beneficial effects of the edu-
cational program laid down by the Y.
M, CA, and the athletic activities it
has carried on, have been so far
reaching that the War Department
will hereafter continue these activities
in our army in times of peace as
we'll as in times of war, for many Of
ficers have told me that the beneficial
effect of these activities on the morale
of the army could hardly be measured.
Germany had nothing of this sort in
it's army, and it's absence caused a
great loss in the morale of its men.
zone critic of the Y. NJ. c. A. in
France stated that in his judgment
the outstanding mistake made by the
Y. M. C. A. was in trying to have
too large a staff of workers; that TIE
Y. M. C. A. should have limited itself
to staff of 500 men and women; that

Farmer In Secluded Rural District

tion Without Effort.

A friend who spent the entire sum.
mer and some of the fall in secluded
rural district was telling US the other
day about how the farmers kept their
roads in good shape in the section in
which he was sojourning, says writer
in Cleveland Plain Dealer.
"There aren't any state roads in that
part of the country" he says, "and no
brick or macadam. But the farmers
keep the gravel and dirt roads in ex-
cellent shape. Whenever my landlord
took trip to lown, or anywhere, he
used to hitch road drag to his motor
car. Then the car would pull the drag
along the mile or two that he was in
terested in keeping up. He would
unhitch the drag and leave it by the
wayside. On the way home he would
pick up the drag where he left 1t and
drag the other side Of the road going
back. And he'd make round like
that almc It every time he took the

AS a hen stops laying there Is a
tendency for her to take on fat. This
is noticeable in 'examining the pelvic
bones, the two bones which can be
felt as points on either side of the
vent. When the hen is laying these
bones are comparatively thin and fleX-
ible. When she is not laying they feel
thicker and less flexible, due to the
fat which has accumulated there. The
spread or distance apart Of these pei
vic bones is also q valuable indication
of whether or not the hen is laying.
When laying they are wider apart
than when not laying. This spread
can be roughly measured for practical
purposes by determining how many
fingers can be laid between the bones.
If the spread measures two fingers
or less, the probabilities are that the
hen is not laying, while if the spread

measuring the spread the size Of the
hens of different breeds with the cor
responding difference in the spread
must be kept in mind.
The distance from the rear end Of

creases with consequent increase In
size of the abdomen. a spread of three
or more fingers in the smaller breeds,
as the Leghorn, and four or five en-
gers in the lsrger breeds such as the
Plymouth Rock. indicates that the hen
is in laying condition. A spread of
less than two fingers in the smaller
breeds and less than three fingers in
the larger breeds indicates that she is
not in laying condition.

tee. now made public. The report ex-
onerates Of any misconduct Adjt- Cen
James A Harley and his investigating
officer, ranger Capt W N Hanson
The report, which was filed yester-
day, states that many Of the charges Of
misconduct by Individual rangers have
been sustained by sufficient and
competent evidence, and some Of the
commanding officers have been re-
sponsible for gross violations Of the
law, and the retention OF these men
by those in charge. The report points
out that many OF the unlawful acts
were committed under the preceding
state administration
The committee states that. in their
opinion, representative ]. T. Canales,
whose charges against rangers
brought on the investigation, has
been prompted by no improper motive.
DIsapprOves Bond Proposal.
In regard TO future control OF the
ranger force. the committee does not
approve the bond feature and says:
we believe and recommend to the
senate and house of representative
that the number Of rangers should be
reduced; that the governor Of the
state should be authorized 10 increase
the number in active service during
any time Of emergency as in his judg-
ment the occasion demands
We believe that the officers and
men should be men OF high moral
character: that they should be paid
an adequate salary justifying the
service Of good men; that there should
be a central authority over the force
accountable TO the adiutaut general
and the governor; that said force
should be organized in a way such as
TO prevent too great a division OF au-
thority looking to the efficient han
ding of the force We do not believe
that il would be TO the best interest
of the ranger force that they should
be placed under bond
The report commends the rangers
for the good work they have done.
