indeed poor, and as he was but one of
nineteen children you can imagine
that no very great attention was paid
to him. The little boy wanted to go
to school and learn the things which
could be put to good use so that he
might earn money and help the family
out OF their financial troubles. but
there were SO many needs and desires
of so many girls and boys for Mr.. and
Mrs. Schubert to think about that
very little heed was given TO Franx's
warnings. But when a boy has mu-

not know how to pack them so they
wouldn't rot. They have to be handled
very carefully. Each orange Is picked

How are they sorted" Jamie
wanted to know.
Sometimes by hand. but usually by
machines which have different-sized
round holes through which the
oranges drop as they run down an
incline-the little ones in the little
holes and the big ones in the larger
holes. After they are sorted they are
all washed with soft brushes and
shined. Then they are packed in
boxes, the finest ones wrapped sep

BRITISH UNIONS
AGAINST STRIKE
BY ROBERT PREV.

London, March 11.-"No revolution"
is the message issued by British or
ganiZed labor through it's leaders to-
day at the meeting of the Trade
Union Congress at Westminster.
The main issue on which the con-
gress voted was whether there should
be a general strike in order to compel
the government to nationaiiZe the
mines, or whether the weapon of in
tensivc propaganda should be employ
ed to gain the country's approval OF
naturalization in the next general
election.
A card vote taken on the two al
tentative resolutions resulted in favor
OF political action, the vote being.
Political action: Fer 3,7S2,000;
against 1,015.Qo0.
General strike:
For 10000, against $50, 600.
This means that British labor gen
orally refuses to support the miners
federation which yesterday voted in
favor Of direct action"

eggs a year is excellent production.
OF course there are exceptional indi-
viduals In every flock. Approximate
ly ten per cent of the White Leghorn

Of more than 200 eggs a year. 1t is
this small proportion Of the flock that

els from this selected number are the
ones that are believed to transmit the

no means whatever Of knowing wheth-

transmit an ability for producing no
eggs at all during the winter season

IS RACE TO BE HAlRLEss7
Prediction Made, Not Without Reason,
That Coming Generations,
VIII Be Bald.

That the man Of the next century
will have no hair on his head has been
predicted time and again, and the fact
that many men under 40 are bald
seems 70 Indicate that this may be
possible, the man of the coming gem
erations acquiring badness at an
earlier age until finally a hairless
specimen Of the genus homo shall ar
rive. But It is through no fault of
their own that men are losing their
hair, while women are perhaps un-
consciously getting ready to become
hairless females of the species. and
while they may be only working out
the will Of Providence, they are doing
1t deliberately by 'bobbIng' their hair.
The fashion was introduced, it is
said, by Russian women, who disguised
themselves. trying to get out of their
bolshevist-ridden country. Coming to
the United States, their bobbed hair
attracted attention, was first taken
up by the bohemian set in New York,
and now Is rapidly spreading. Some
of the older women. not wishing to
sacrifice their locks, are said to be
wearing false bobbed hair.

The graduating class of a Terre
Haute school gave the teacher a part
ing gift. During the speech she made
acknowledging the gift she noticed
that one boy was weeping. Then she
told how touched she was by the emo
ton displayed by this boy. "What
greater tribute could teacher have
than to have n child cry because he
was leaving herr" she later asked the
class.
One Of the other boys remained
after the others had left. "Miss N"
he confided, ''you thought Jim wns
