London Board of Education
Is Experimenting With the
Simplified Spelling Form

The London board of education
has after many refusals sanctioned
experiments in simplified spelling.
Speaking on the subject at University
college, Prof. Walter Ripman, chief in
spector of London university, said:
"It was necessary to have a code
of spelling which would represent
not dialects, but standard speech of
the whole English speaking race. 1t
was hoped that the United States gov
ernment could be brought to cooperate
with the British government in bring
ing this about"
Miss Walsh of Honeywell Road
school, Battersea, where the expert
ment in simplified spelling is being
made, said that learning to read in
the simplified form was a much hap
pier experience for q child than I'M
der the old method
A number of Miss Walshs pupils,
of an average of six years of age, gave
a demonstration of word building by
the simplified method. All could read
with facility both in the CID and new
form of spelling.

BREEDING CHICKENS
ON COMMUNITY PLAN

In some communities the practice is
followed of choosing one breed and
sticking to it.
There is the advantage Of shipping.
A crate of uniform size and breed
looks well. A community can send a
carload, and by shipping a car get
higher prices and lower freight rate
than when the individual ships.
Then there is more interest in the
breed which your neighbor is growing.
The poultry crank enthuses his neigh
bors he will persuade them to get a
good poultry judge to come and go
over their flocks. The community can
afford the fifty to hundred dollars
this would probably cost for a good
judge, where the individual might not
be able to pay the bill.
Poultry clubs and breed clubs are
doing on a long-distance scale what
the community can do near at hand.
For example, the Rhode Island Red
club has created fund to give pub
Lefty to their breed. They have Sc
W lOOh dltCl tllCll III
terests, and are enlisting all of their
members in publicity campaign.
They tell them to "obtain and tabulate
all facts favorable to Rhode Island
Reds, such as high egg records, early
maturity, vitality, etc, and give these
facts the widest possible publicity.
Check up on all egg contests and give
publicity to any facts established that
are favorable to the Rhode Island
Reds. Secure in writing the opinions
of government experts as to the merits
of the Reds" etc., etc.
We all remember the boom the
White Orpingtons had several years
ago through the eXtravagant adver-
Using of one breeder, and the publicity
he gave his customers records as well
as his own.
There is profit in getting together
and making yourself heard when things
worth while are accomplished.

Africans Always Eager to
Don Discarded Finery Cast
Off by NOtabIes of London

There is clothes dealer in Lon
don who for a long time has made IL
his speciality to purchase snowy cos
tunes and discarded uniforms for dis
posal in the Orient and Africa.
It is said that even the retiring
lord mayors Of London have become
this dealers customers, and that the
cooked hat, gold laced coat and knee
breaches that have formed an inspir-
ing feature of the lord mayors pro-
cessiOns are, as like as not, the next
year to delight the eyes of darkest
Africa upon the proud person of some
native.
Amusing comments have been made
by this dealer with reference to the
eagerness with which the native in
the interior Of Africa takes over this
discarded finery. He says that at the
bazaars where his goods are pur-
chased he has seen blacks solemnly
walking around with waistcoats but
toned behind instead of before, and
men even wearing wOmen's costumes.
Big fellows have been seen in clothes
so small that one could not imagine
how they got into them nor how they
could get out unless the stitching
gave way.
It is related that the Prince de Join
vile, when off the Gaboon coast, once
received on his ship an official visit
from two chiefs, father and son, who
must have been customers of the Lon
don dealer. Each owned for ceremo-
NAL purposes military uniform.
That of the father was an English
generals, while that of the son was
a hussars. The intricate cut of the
sons uniform, with it's numerous but
tons, straps and buckles, together with
the painfully small size, proved too
much for him. He sent the prince q
despairing message imploring help and
a relief party of delighted midshipmen
was sent to dress him and to bring him
aboard.

Everything Lovely and
the Goose Hangs High"

The most popular explanation of the
origin Of the expression Everything Is
lovely and the goose hangs high" is
this: That it comes from the southern
country amusement known as "goose
pulling" A goose, its neck carefully
| tucked and we'll creased, was hung by
ii feet to q branch of a tree. The men
would ride past at gallop, trying to
catch it by the neck and pull its head
off. The better the goose was in dodg-
ing the greater the fun. When the
goose hung high, so that the competi-
tors had to stand in their stirrups to
grasp at it, the. joy was greatest. An
other suggested origin is that it refers
to the fact that wild geese fly in clear
weather; this explanation would
change "hangs" to 'honks."

Chinese Use Hens to Help
in Matching Fish Spawn

The Chinese have a novel way of
propagating fish. The spawn is care
fully collected from the surface of the
water, and when a sufficient quantity
has been obtained they take number
of hens eggs, the contents of which
have been carefully emptied through a
small aperture, and refill the shells
with spawns. The holes are sealed up
and the eggs put under the brocdy
hens. The hens are allowed TO incu-
bate the eggs for a certain number of
days, when the eggs are again broken
and their contents put into water that
has been previously warmed by the
sun. In very short time the spawn
matches, and the young fry are then
kept in pure fresh water until suffi-
cient size to be put into the ponds. AT
one time considerable business was
done in this style of spawn Matching.

the precautions taken to insure abso-
lutte cleanliness. One of two methods
of manufacture is generally adopted.
If the estate is young and only few
trees are being tapped the rubber Is
made in the form Of biscuits or sheets.
The biscuits are placed on racks in
warm room or an artificial dryer and
allowed to remain there until dry.
The finished biscuits are pale amber
colored and transparent, and for this
reason are popular on the market, for
their purity and freedom from dirt can
be judged by holding them to the light
and looking through them.

THE NEST

When oalxen woods with buds are pink,
And new-come birds each morning sing,
When tickle May on Summers brink
Pauses and knows not which to fling,
Whether fresh bud and bloom again,
Or hoar-frost silvering hill and plain,
Then from honeysuckle gray
The oriole with experienced quest
Twitches the fbrous bark away,
The cordage of his hammock-nest,
Cheering his labor with a note
Rich as the orange of his throat.
High Ger the loud and dusty road
The soft gray cup in safety swings
To brim ere August with its load
OF downy breasts and throbbing wings.
Ger which the friendly elm tree heaves
An eternal roof with sculptured caves.
Below, the noisy world drags by
In the old way, because it must,
The bride with heartbreak in her eye,
The mourner following hated DUST
Thy duty, winged flame of spring
Is but to love, and fly. and sing.
oh, happy life, to soar and sway
Above the life by mortals led,
Singing the merry months away
Master, not slave of daily bread.
And, when the autumn comes, to flee
Wherever sunshine beckons thee,

Monster Vessel Had to Be
Turned on Its Side to Pass
Through the WeIland Canal

That ships were cut in two in ORDER
to get them out of the Great Lakes
and into transatlantic service when the
war put it's tremendous demand on
American shipping is commonly
known; but the eXpedient adopted to
get the giant Charles r. Van Hise
through the Welland canal attracted
little attention. This vessel was of too
wide a beam to pass through the Wei
land canal. It was floated through
by turning it on its side.
The Charles r. Van Hise is 9000,-
ton freighter, twice as large as any
of the other vessels taken from the
Great Lakes. The locks of the We'll
land canal are 260 feet long and "A
feet wide. Besides cutting the Van
Hise in two, it was necessary to turn
her on her side, and then she had only
eight inches of clearance. This plan
for handling large ships on the lakes
was devised by T. A. Eustis and car
ried out by the shipping board en-
gineers.
Six pontoon tanks were placed on the
forward section of the Van Hise. The
tanks, when filled, held about 500 tons
of water. The pumps were put to work,
filling the tanks, steam being furnished
by the tugs. 1t required about five
hours to fill the tanks, when the bow
section of the vessel had rolled over
perfectly on it's side.
The forward section was towed
from Buffalo to Port Colborne, Canada,
the entrance to the Welland canal.
She was then towed into the first lock
and the gates were closed, which re-
vealed the project was success.
