PEELED with the realization that a big
college group ought to take definite
part in threshing out some Of the
problems Of its generation, sat down
and threshed with might and main.
What ought college to do for its stu
dents? What does It do? What can 1t
do further? All of those things were
taken up along with such general sub
jects as grownth Of greater democracy,
cooperation, freedom, responsibility,
and other details which this country
as a whole is getting down to doing
some hard thinking about. And after
sitting in at those discussions I shall
never again feel vague and uncertain
when some one asks me suddenly
what DOES college do for women
anyhow" Why, I havenu't heard so
much public spirit and so much sanity
in ages. ! certainly am being proud of
my alma mater!

New York. Wouldn't our city's
recent notable guests have been amaz-
ed II they had known that they had
been granted the privilege Of pushing
a peddler's car about our nive paved
streets? At the time of one aldermanic
discussion over granting the freedom
of the city" to a visiting scientist of
considerable fame, the question was
raised, Just what is this granted
freedom anyhow" In the words Of the
much quoted play, whats all the
shootin' forT Well, Mrs. John King
Van Rensselaer,, descendant Of some
Of those who established Manhattan's
laws and presidents, has come for
ward with, an answer. At least, she
gives us the original meaning, but ad-'
mits that times have changed, and that
she'd like to know for herself what
the modern pharase is all about. In
the days Of her remote ancestors, says
Mrs. Van Rensselaer,, the freedom of
the city amounted in effect to ped
dler's license, which gave the holder
freedom to push his cart and sell his
wares in the city streets. She has a
copy of one of these ancient docu-
ments. And she is interested in know
ing whether the Aldermen stick to the
old form and grant just that to the
city's hOnored guests. II 1t means
something else she thinks the officials
ought to tell us what it is and show us
the documents.

Uncle Ted?' asked Ruth.
81 didn't hear what you said, Ruth"
answered Uncle Ted. Jack was max
ing so much noise"
81 said that Secretary of War Weeks
is the first graduate of the Naval
Academy to be a cabinet officer" re-
peated Ruth.
That's right, Ruth. 1t isthe first
timein the history Of the country and
more than that 1t Is the first time a
navy man was ever placed at the head
of the army, that is, as Secretary of
War" -,
"Tell us a story about him, Uncle
Ted" asked Jack.
Sure, l will, Jack, because he is a
mighty interesting man. Secretary of
War John Wingate Weeks, Of Massa-
chusetts. is first in lot Of things.
Besides those things I have just told
you he is the first navy man who ever
sat in the United States Senate and the
first navy man to be voted for for
President in national convention, for
you know he got more votes for the
Republican nomination in 1916 than
anyone except Charles E. Hughes, who
is now Secretary of State.
Secretary Weeks graduated from
the United States Naval Academy In
1881. That class is famous for its
prominent members. General Barnett
former head of the United States Ma
rine Corps, was member Of the class
as was Senator Weller of Maryland
and Baron Uriu, a famous Japanes'
admiral, who is now visiting In Wash
ington. He didn't stay in the navy be
cause Congress passed law to mus
ter out of the service most of tn
graduates of this class, as there wer
so many officers and so few vessels a
the time. While Secretary Weeks !
navy man, he does not feel lost a
the head of the war department. Dur
! ing the recent war, when he was
member of the Senate from Massachu
sets, he was on the Senate militar
affairs committee, and of course h
was in close touch with the army an
| its needs"
what does he think about a. BIZ

"Well I'll tell you, Riddles, Score

CAPONIZED COCKERELS
BRING HIGHEST PRICE.


After the price Of broilers has taken
its annual slump which is usally about
the middle of June 1t will pay farmers
to caponize the surplus cockerels, &C.
cording to members of the poultry de-
partment of the College of Agriculture.
Capons make one of the most deli
cious table fowls to be found and in
addition are valued ten to 20 cents
higher pound than the ordinary
cockerel. They also have a more
docile disposition and put on meat at
more rapid rate than ROSTERS which
are not caponized.
Plymouth Rock, Wyandotte, Rhode
Island Red, Orpington and other gen.
eral purpose cockerels are best capon-
lied when they reach weight Of one
and one-half pounds. One and one
half to two pounds has been found to
be the best weight for Brahmas and
Langshans. Cockerels should be ca
ponized when the wattles and comb
start reddening and growing. At this
time the organs will be slightly larger
than an oat kernel.
In preparing the birds for opera
ton food and water should be with
held from them for thirty to forty
hours in order that the intestines may
become emptied. They should be con-
lined in Slated bottom coops during
this time to prevent them picking up
anything which they might mistake
