Singing Charms;
TinLOt'S Recital
By SVluester RauOling.

'Frieda Hempel gave a song recital
at Carnegie Hall last night before a
large and enthusiastic audience. At
the beginning her voice showed signs
OF construction, but that soon passed.
Her principal number was the recita-
tive and aria ''Non mi dir from
Don Giovanni" which she pro-
nounced with the aristocratic grace
for which It calls. Few singerB- Of

tradition in like degree with this

cious and her style is a model in all
that she sings, She bids fair TO reach

Miss Hempel began her programme
with an arioso from Hande's Can
tata con Stromenti." German liedsr by
Schubert, Wolf and Schumann she
sang delightfully."-. She had to re-
peat Schumann's "Du bist vie eine
Blune," also a fetching English song
by Farley, "The Night Wind" Ban

North American Indian songs by
Lleuranco made for diversity. At
the end there was a treat in group
Of folk songs, English. Dutch, French
and German, and the famous Nor
wegian 'The Herdsman's Song'-the
Echo song, to which she played her
own accompaniment at the piano.
Incidentally her stunning snort, tight
frock made it dificult for her to get
seated, which started tho audience
a-laughing heartily and caused her TO
blush. A tumult Of applause brought

BERLIN SENTIMENT TURNS
FAVORABLY TOWARD TERMS

Berlin, May 9.TSentiment in Ger
man political circles was showing q
drift at noon today in favor OF agree
ing to the Allied separations terms.
1t is now believed a parliamentary
coalition which will accept the Allied
ultimatum will be constituted within
the next "a hours.
BERN, May 9.-National Commit
teemen of the Majority Socialist and
Democratic parties assembled here
today to discuss the attitude those
organizations would take relative TO
the international situation resulting
from the presentation of the Allied
ultimatum regarding Preparations.
There was hope in some quarters
that an agreement would be reached
by he two parties to participate in
the formation of Cabinet to sue
coed that of constantine Fehrenbach,
which resigned last week.
DR.. Wilhelm Mayer, German AM
oassador to France, has declined The
invitation of President Ebert to { rm
a ministry, and the German Pe)pte's
;,arty continues its attitude OF re-
serve. The leader of the latter or
ganization, DR.. Gustav Stresemann. is
strongly opposed TO acceptance of the
Allied terms.
DR.. Meyer has been comforting with
members of the Reichstag, attempting
to show that the signing of the Al
lied demands is necessary. No fur
ther progress was made yesterday to-
ward terminating the Cabinet crisis
despite DR.. Mayors personal efforts
to persuade the Clericals to agree to
unconditional acceptance OF the ul-
timatum. DR.. Mayer is still in the
Reichstag as a member of the Ba-
varian Peoples party, which stub
bornly opposes the Allied terms, es-
pecially regarding disarmament. Al
though pledged to abide by his par
tvs decision, DR.. Mayer is now en-
deavoring to unite the Clerical par
ty in favor of accepting the ultima
tum, hoping that it would then form
the nucleus for an emergency coali-
tion, which would command enough
votes in the Reichstag in favor OF
yielding.

MULES IN THE WORLD WAR

The poor, despised army mule,
whose dynamite-like disposition and
active hind legs have won him such
an objectionable reputation, was just
as efficient in his own little capaci-
ty as any other functionary of the
late World War.
Many dark night near the front,
when Smelling started in our vicinity,
the unfortunate mules were often
subjected to very disagreeable condi-
tions, in some cases receiving such
wounds as to necessitate shooting
them before we resumed our march
to the front lines. On some nights,
when the enemy was unusually &C
tive with his artillery, my company
lost as many as eleven head of horses
and mules during a single barrage.
In some instances l have observed
remarkable intelligence displayed by
mules.
One afternoon in a small patch of
woods, where my company was tenn
porarily quartered, the inevitable
Smelling started with reality that
made us think of home. A small
French village lay to our right and
in there the barrage had begun, grad
ually creeping toward our vicinity
and jeopardizing group of helpless
mules that belonged to an artillery
outfit. The poor animals seemed to
scent the danger for their ears witch
ed and they grew restless.
Unfortunately, she'll screeched
into their midst and burst, watch
ed, anxiously, to see if any fell, but
not mule went down.
After "a series of jumps and leaps,
as they were tied, one little fellow
seemed to have got loose and trotted
over toward another member of the
company and myself. When he
reached us he stopped before us and
looked straight into our eyes as tho
pleading for aid. We examined his
wounds and found that he had re-
ceived sharpnel injuries about the
neck, right side, and ears, his halter
having been severed by fragment of
sharpnel.
We appreciated the animals in
telligence and led him to our regi-
mental surgeon who dressed his
wounds in plenty of bandages. Later
in the day saw the little fellow graz
ing in a field and munching grass as
coolly as tho nothing unusual had
around in the white bandages. The
happened, his long ears bobbing
next day my company moved from the
woods, and often wondered what
became of the wounded mule.
Like our indefatigable war horses,
the hardworking little mules were on
the job whenever there was real Ia
Dor to be accomplished, and, aside
from an occasional speel of stubborn
balkiness, they performed their du-
ties with satisfaction.

RAILROAD ATTORNEY
DECLARES WAGE VIEW
Shows>Reason Why Social
ed Living Wage Can
Not Be Practical.

To adopt the theory of the liv-
ing wage as a basis for determining
railroad wages would be Ito accept an
untried theory of state socialism or
to countenance creation of a super
privileged class" according to John
@. Walber, summing up the testi-
mony of the carriers in the wage re-
ductions case before the railroad la
Dor board. Mr.. Walber, who repre-
sented the Eastern roads, completed
the roads rebuttal and brought their
fight for lower wages to a conclu-
sion in lengthy argument in which
he attacked the whole theory of the
living wage, urged by the employees
as the fundamental principle in the
wage case.
The living wage, according to the
railroads Investigations, Mr.. Wal
Der said, was not an amount necessary
to maintain an employe and his fmi-
ly, but represents standard on
which certin persons would like to

"The theory Of the living wage, is
not new" Mr.. Walber continued I'VE
do not intend to ignore it, but we
believe the American people should
know its real purport and the ulti-
mate effect of such a socialistic theory
as that laid down by the railroad en-
ployes.
Anxious To Pay just Wage.
THE railroads are anxious and
willing to pay employees a just and
reasonable wage for just and reason
able service We are not ignoring
humanitarian considerations, but on
the other hand We are up against
practical problem. and Utoplan ideals
however pleasing to contemplate, will
not satisfy the railroad men nor any
one else on pay day"

In Taking Farm Inventory
 List Many Items as Supplies

On every farm at inventory time there will be found a miscellaneous collection of all kinds of supplies, such as purchased feeds, seed, fertili- ger, twine, nails, and lumber. These, together with the amount of manure on hand, are all listed under the heading Supplies" according to in ventory methods worked out by the United States Department of Agri- culture. Nails, bolts, screws, and the like can we'll be listed as one item, regardless of varying sizes and kinds, giving the approximate num- Der of pounds. Where definite sys- tenn of carrying such shop supplies is in use, as is the case on some of the well-organized, large farms, the quantities of the different items of this nature are easily counted CT weighed and appraised accurately.
 This kind of property, like mach!n- cry and tools, has been bought by the farmer and should therefore be appraised at cost, plus any expense incurred in getting it to the farm. For example, if a ton of brain is bought for $44, $1.25 spent for freight on it, and 75 cents worth of man and horse labor needed to haul it from the station to the farm, the should be ade at the rate of $46 a ton.

The seventh week of the egg lay ing contest at Storrs found the total production 9,6O5 eggs. The number of eggs laid during the week was 1,492 or a yield of 21.3 per cent. This weeks production is 116 less than the seven year average, 49 less than last weeks production and 131 less than last year for the same week.
 The leading pen for the week was a pen of White Wyandottes owned by Frank P. Matteson, Davisville, R. l., with a yield of A eggs. A pen of White Wyandottes owned by Woodbridge Orchards, from Wood bridge, Conn.,, and pen of Rhode Island Reds owned by Applecrest Farms, Hampton Falls, N.

 Knemidocoptes Mutans Cor Scaly Legs) is a contagious disease infect ing the legs of fowls. The small parasites which cause this disease as a rule attack the unfeathered DOT tions of the legs working their way under the scales and then irritating the tissue by attacking it with it's strong mouth parts. In most cases where fowls have become infected with these parasites their legs become rough and a crusty growth appears. The treatment is to dip the legs in a solution of kerosene and linseed oil, one part of the former and two parts of the latter. Repeat this treatment every week until the birds legs have become normal.

Consider Farm Operations in
 Relation to Entire Busine

Nasty conclusions should be avoided in making use of the results of the years cost accounts for inn proving the organization of the farm, warns the United States Department of Agriculture. All good farmers know that sometimes a positive de- crease in profits may ensue if an en- terprise be dropped because, taken alone, it has failed to pay. Cows, for instance, may not show a net profit, but if all the cows were sold there might be no other way of using the roughage, which would become dead loss. Labor devoted night and morning to milking and feeding cows, and charged to them, would be en- tirely lost if the cows were sold and nothing supplied to fill in the time. Thus an added burden for the main tenance of labor would have to be borne by the other enterprises.
 The fact that the hogs or the corn crop bring in the most net money duri ngthe season is no reason for assuming that all the activities of the farm in the future should be de- voted solely to hogs or corn. It may be that the keeping of cows is partly responsible for making the hogs so profitable, or that the grow ing of wheat, clover, or other crops in rotation with corn makes the latter crop much more profitable than it would have been if grown alone.
 Similar conditions will be met with on all farms and, therefore, no sud- den changes should be made on the basis of what single years accounts may indicate. All angles of the en- terprise should be taken into consid- eration.

Farmers Say IL Does Not Pay to
 Raise Runts.
 United States consists of runts and undersized specimens of the various breeds and classes. Farmers report that their annual incomes from live stock would be increased an average of 19 per cent if runts could be elim- mated. Better methods of feeding and breeding, breeding better stock, the use of purebred registered sires, good care and systematic attention, better hous- ing and sanitation, proper care of the dam before the birth of young, prac- tical control of such objectable para sites as worms and lice, the control of disease, and the culling from the farm of all stunted stock which indicates no possibilities of successful reforma- ton and rehabilitation are the control methods recommended by these ex perienced farmers. About three-quar- ters of them say that 1t does not pay to raise runts, while the balance main taiH that the Tom Thumbs of the live stock world can be raised successfully only when we'll bred and when plenty of cheap feed Is available and de pendable markets are readily access ible.
