suPERsTITIoNs OF THE TUB
Laundresses Have Legends, Which In
Many Countries Are Taken With
Great Seriousness.

Universally washerwomen agree that
anyone who washes a sheet on Fri
day Is washing her winding sheet, and
death will come within one year. Some
say that to wash On Friday is to wish
your husbands death. The supersti-
lions that are connected with washing
on Good Friday have naturally re-
ligious origin, and washing on that day
is well-nigh impossible. But it can be
made safe by tying two clothes pins
together In the form OF a cross and
letting them float in the tub.
II laundress drops her soap on
the left side she will be asked to a
wedding. If one splashes water on
her apron she will marry drunkard.
If q mans shirt Is put in the tub up
side Internationally, Of course
it means the coming death to the
owner There is good fortune in store
for any one who meets washerwoman
carrying basket Of freshly Numbered
clothes, but bad luck will cvertake the
one who passes a basket filled with
the unwashed.

RED CROSS RESCUED
100000 FROM Death
Spent s1,2oo,o0o for Relief Of
Famine Sufferers In China
Last Year.

To help overcome conditions Of acute
distress In FIVE famine stricken prov
lnces of Northern China, where mil
lions Of persons were affected by an
unprecedented shortage Of food, the
American Red Cross during the last
fiscal year spent more than $1,2OO,OOO,
100000 Of which was contributed d.
recty by National Headquarters and
the remainder by various groups In
terested in the welfare Of China.
Through the wide relief operations
thus made possible 1t is estimated that
more than 100000 famine sufferers
Were saved from starvation. u=.--
To the end that similar prompt re-
lief measures by the organization may
always be possible the Red Cross is
asking continued support by the Amer
lean people by universal renewal Of
membership at the Annual Red Cross
Roll Call, November IL to "a.
The method of relief employed by
the American Red Cross In its opera
tions In China was particularly effec-
tive, for in addition to saving hundreds
of thousands of lives it provided China
with more than 900 miles Of permanent
roads that are sorely needed to pre-
vent a recurrence Of famine. At one
time the Red Cross employed $4,000
Chinese workmen, paying them in food
for themselves and dependents, this
food being brought in from Manchurta
and elsewhere.

The work Of the Red Cross during
the war In its traditional field Of nurs-
Ing, furnishing the military and naval
establishments Of the nation with 49,
ST. nurses, Is we'll known. And there
are today 97,787 nurses registered with
the American Red Cross and subject
to call in emergency. During the hs-
cal year, 1851 Red Cross nurses were
accepted for assignment to Govern
ment service, 3SS by the Army and
Navy and 1,163 by the United States
Public Health Service.
In addition to the nurses enrolled
by the Red Cross for Government sery-
ice, the Red Cross itself employed a

Red Cross Gives
$4,000 to Aid

An appropriation Of $4,000 for
Red Cross work In connection with the

Government to bring the claims Of all
disabled service men who are entitled

eminent bureau for action, has been
made by the American Red Cross,
The Executive Committee Of the
American Red Cross in making the
appropriation authorized the appropri-
alton of $4,000 Of this sum to the
American Legion to defray the ex-
pense Of the Legion representatives
assigned to the various districts Of
the Veterans Bureau.
The remainder of the appropriation
was authorized for apporttonment
among the several Divisions Of the
Red Cross for carrying on that part

These two rows Of COW stalls face
central feeding alley over which runs
a carrier track. The feed can be car
red on carriers from the feedroom
and given to the stock in their stalls
without any back-breaking efforts on
the part of the hired men. At the
rear Of each row Of stalls is litter
alley also equipped with carrier
tracks. Aside from the advantages
which this modern stall equipment
offers the cows, 1t Is important from
the standpoint Of the help. It reduces
UNNECESSARILY the drudgery around
stock barns and helps In large meas
ure to keep the boys contented. They
have been leaving farms because Of
the unnecessary heavy work. Proper
barn equipment will help to stem this
exodus to the cities.
The floor is concrete while the
stalls are wood block or cork brick.
The animals cannot rest easily and
comfortably on the SOl1d moor, reQulr-
ing a more resilient material. Lately
asphalt mastic has been used for this
purpose.
In the wing which extends across
one emo Of the barn the various feed
rooms and racks are located. An un-
usual feature Of this barn Is the large
open feedroom with racks where loose
cattle may roam and feed at will.
These racks are set out In the middle
Of the floor and cattle can eat from
either side. At the rear end Of the
wing are the regular feed bins and
feedroom, 20 by % feet, where the
various rations are prepared and
hauled by carrier to the racks or stalls.
Plenty Of windows around the barn
provide an abundance Of sunlight and
air. The barn doors are all hung on

There was time not 50 long back
when the only crops raised In the
states south Of the Mason and Dixon
line were cotton and tobacco. If these
failed or the weevil got In its deadly
work the farmer was out Of luck.
Moreover this constant repetition Of
the same crop used up the fertility Of
the soil and within few years it was
abandoned.
Similarly In the great country be-
St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1921-10-15

yond the Mississippi wheat was the
~one and only crop. As In the case Of
the Southern farmers, these people
suffered in case the crop failed.
But a change has been wrought in
farming in both Of these sections.
Farmers by bitter experience have
learned that 1t Is not safe nor profit
able to depend upon single crop
and consequently are going In for the
diversified farming. And most impor-
tant of all they are all taking up
dairy work. They have bought herds
to start with and are gradually build
ing up real dairy business.
For they know that good herd
will not fail them year in and year
out. The dairy department Of the
modern farm is the most important
because 1t Is source Of all year
round revenue.
To make the herd as productive and
as efficient as possible and increase
this revenue, the farmer cannot direct
his energy and thought In any better
direction than that Of building a real
barn that will house these animals in
comfortable fashion. For contented
cows will give plenty Of good milk.
There are several important fea-
lures in the construction Of dairy
barn that should be considered before
the barn Is built. In fact they should
be uppermost in mind when the plans
are being drawn up. OF these venti-
latlon and stall arrangement are very
vital. Without plenty Of fresh air a
herd cannot do Justice. They need the
air just as much as human beings.
In the barn shown here with floor
plans these two salient features have
not been overlooked. This is easily
seen by the ventilators on the roof
and the air intakes along the sides Of
the barn. This handsome and COM
plete structure is SO feet long and SO
feet wide with wing e by SO feet.
It Is built Of frame on stout con-
crete foundation. The roof Is gambrel
shaped insuring plenty Of room for a
hay loft. In the main section Of the
barn are the cow stalls, 30 In num-
Der. These stalls are Of the most
modern design, the stanchions being
steel and SO made as to be sanitary
and humane, yet strong. In front Of
each stall is an individual drinking
cup providing steady supply Of fresh
water for the cows. Like air, water Is
essential to good and plentiful milk
production. The cup not only provides
this but eliminates much Of the heavy
work entailed by the old svr+e-a Of
St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1921-10-15

In addition to the above, total OF
22,006 children were given instruction
IN the proper selection and prepare
ton Of foods.
Through its 26O Health !Centers, the
Red Cross reached 90.252 persons In
these Health Centers, 4,o15 health lee
lures We're given and 780 health ex-
hfbits held.
In the United States last year, 75,-
t32 persons were killed and 100000
injured in industrial accidents. To
prevent this enormous waste the Red
Cross held 5.1oo first aid classes with
/ total of 100000 students enrolled.

This is the type Of barn that should
be built by the farmer who hopes to
make the most from his herd of cat
tie. It is folly to build a makeshift
structure. Build a real barn large
enough to anticipate and handle your
future needs, strong enough to last,
and so designed as to insure your cat
tie plenty Of life-giving sunshine and
fresh air and equipped so as to keep
the animals comfortable. Then you
can rest assured that the animals will
do their share.
