For Aid in Crisis

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-Four OF
the seven American delegates who
attended the nineteenth Interpar1ia-
mentary Union convention at Stock
holm last month returned today on
the Red Star liner Kroonland from
Antwerp.
Twelve nations were represented
at the conference. The foreign del
egates regard President HardinG's
influence in the coming disarmament
conference as of great weight. They
listened eagerly to everything the
American delegates had to say in
relation to this country's attitude
on any subject that came up.
Representative Alban w. Bark
ley. of Kentucky. one of the re-
turning delegates. said the trip
showed him conclusively that the
United States is now regarded
abroad as the worlds greatest
power. Nearly everyone in Europe,
he said, looks to this country for
moral as well as financial support.

require any refreshments for the eve
ming call; but, especially If the young
man has expressed his intentions Of
coming certain night, or If there are
to be several callers, plan some light
refreshments. In some families It is
customary to have some sort OF light
refreshment toward the close Of the
evening anyway, and then 1t is hos
pitable to ask any callers who happen
to be present to partake.
Now, here Is something that every
young man ought to bear in mind, and
that is that his leave-taking should be
brief. Having risen to depart, he
should show decision of character and
poise enough after bidding his hostess
and others who may be present good
night, to 80 away at once, but often
extremely young men, though they may
be willing enough to leave. seem to be
quite unable to do this. OF course this
dallying Is often the fault Of those on
whom they are calling, who open new
topics Of conversation just as they ars
departing, and make It difficult for
them to leave at once. This also shows
a certain Lack Of social poise.

to get into any trouble, Mr.. Coon
climbed in the pantry window.
He was sitting on the sill listening,
when the moonlight streaming in
showed him two empty shelves.
Mr.. Coon stared, then he scratched
his head. and then he listened, and
then he looked atIthe tin plate.
By that time he had come to the
conclusion that Reddy Fox had played
trick on him.
Whether Reddy Fox ever knew who
was to blame for his fright Mr.. Coon
never knew, but when one day Reddy
stopped to speak to Mr.. Coon and
found him eating his dinner from a
tin plate he did not let on he noticed
1t.
It was Tong time after this that
Mr.. Coon discovered about the flashes.
He was eating his dinner, and having
made his tin plate very clean by eat
ing all that was on 1t, he picked 1t up,
and the sun striking 1t made little
flashes round the room.

SOPHIA.

THE wisest of feminine names is
i Sophy, or Sophia, as she should
be called properly. It is perhaps the
only name which Is closely associated
with Divine attributes, since its origin
dates back to the dedication of that
most gorgeous of Christian temples by
which Justinian declared that he had
surpassed Solomon. 1t was called
st. Sophia (the holy wisdom Of Cod.
According to the preacher in the
Book of Eccleslasticus, Wisdom Is the
mother of fair Love, Hope and holy
Fear, and this idea is said to have
suggested the allegory' of the holy
woman with three daughters so called,
and in compliment to the newly bnilt
church, the niece Of Justinian's EN-
press, afterward wife OF his nephew
and successor, was called Sophia. The
name straightway became fashionable
among the daughters of the nobility
of Greece and was carried, through
SIavonians, to Germany.
History records a Hungarian prin-
cess Of that name in 919. and an
other, daughter of King Geysa, mar
ried Magnus of Saxony and spre the
use Of the name throughout Sa-Ony.
Denmark Is said to have received 1t
through this latter princess and has
since made 1t almost a national name.

Mr.. Coon had pantry filed with
things that Reddy Fox liked, but Mr..
Coon had not invited him to dinner
once this long time, and now Reddy
intended to get what he wanted with
out being invited.
Mr.. Coon was sitting on his steps
and Reddy had the tin plate under
his coat. "You don't look well, Mr..
Coon" he said. "Are you sick?"
"Now that you mention It," said
Mr.. Coon, II believe I do feel rather

Turkeys are probably the natural
hosts Of the gapewOrm-a serious pest
among young chickens-and are an
important factor in their spread This
has been demonstrated by zoolOgist
OF the United States Department Of
Agriculture as the result of expert
ments and other investigations carried
on at Washington. d. c., and on farms
in several localities in Maryland.
Many Turkeys Harbor oapeworms.
During three winter seasons begin

chickens and $40 turkeys were ex-
amined in the Washington city market.
No gapewOrms were found In the
chickens, but 22.5 per cent of the
turkeys were found to be infested.
From l to worms were found in each
of the infested turkeys. A report of
these investigations has been published
by the department In Department

In view Of the complete absence Of
gapeworms from large series of
adult chickens and their common oc-
currence in a similar series Of adult
turkeys, it would appear, the bulletin
says, that adult chickens are poorly
adapted as hosts Of gapeworms. That

the fact that a turkey which was kept

PRESERVING SOIL MOISTURE
PernIcious Practice OF Permitting Wa.
ter to Escape From Soil Should
Be Discouraged.

The practice that prevails in some
irrigation localities Of letting the nat
ural moisture escape from the soil
with the idea that more water can be
applied when 1t is needed, is most per
nicious and should be discouraged, say
specialists Of the United States De
partment Of Agriculture. If the moist
ure that gets into the ground in the
form Of precipitation or as irrigation
water is retained by the soil 1t will en-
able the soil organisms to act upon the
plant foods, rendering them available
for plant growth. There is a feeling
Of safety in having an unlimited sup
ply Of water for irrigation purposes,
but 1t should be remembered that irri.
cation costs money and labor; precipi.

HOW DO YOU SAY IT?

Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them
AND "HEALTHFuL.-

THERE is a distinct difference in
l. the meaning of these two words,
and the distinction should be made by
all who desire to speak and write cor
rectly. Healthy" means possessing or
enjoying health or its effects; as, "a
healthy person" or "a healthy condi-
ton" But "healthful" means promOt-
Ing health, or adding to 1t, or preserv-
ing 1t. Thus, we say that q healthy
person is the product of healthful sur.
roundings. "The finances of the cOun-
try are in a healthy condition"
"Healthful living is conducive to
length Of life"
A correspondent Of a newspaper
wrote, "Are plants in a sleeping room
healthy?' 1t was evident that she
meant, docs the presence Of plants
in a sleeping room affect the health
Of the occupant of the room2" OF
course, plant, In sleeping room or
elsewhere, may or may not be healthy;
and its presence in a room may or
may not be healthful for the human
occupant.

owners pledges. Although the mum.
Der Of purebreds, as noted, increased
notlceably, more scrubs also were
listed than in any previous quarterly
period, thus helping to accomplish one
Of the main objects Of the campaign,
which is to grade up inferior animals
by the use Of good purebred sires.
The greatest activity during the
current year, SO far as enrollments
are concerned, has occurred In Ohio,
with Nebraska second. In justice to
other states 1t may be added that sew
eral, from which only few pledges
to use only purebred sires were re-
ceived, have been active in other
branches Of the work, particularly in
the procurement and distribution Of
purebred sires Of good quality. Ken
