UP IN MARY'S ATTIC
Thursday Night June 2Srd
AT THE AIRDROlIE

The story of this fascinating COM
edy is sufficient in itself, yet seldom
has a picture been produced which
contains every element of appeal so
deftly and cleverly interviewer as in
up In Mary's Attic" Its many hui
man touches make it a production
whose sunshine and shadows will not
soon be forgotten.
The dear little baby, with it's un-
conscious humor will tug at every
heart. It's gripping appeal furnishes
note of human interest throughout.
Those in search of a thrill will find
it in the many tense situations at the
Vampire Nest Cabaret.
Those who look for unadulterated
humor without too much slapstick yet
with many hearty, wholesome laugh,
will find a plentiful and varied col
lection of uprOarious situations.
Those who delight in a decorative
scheme of feminine charm and beauty
will most certainly be rewarded.
In fact, the picture has everything
pep, humor, romance, adventure,
thrills and human interest. There is
no monOtOny; the suspense holds to
5he very end. It is a picture with a
purpose, that spreads sunshine and |
good humOr without recourse to out
'ageOus comicalities.
The picture could offer nothing but
is gripping heart interest-or only it's
intriguing appeal-or just it's whole
Ome pep and genuine fun-and scare
knockout. 1t

HEAT CAUSES BIG
WASTAGE IN EGGS

by II. ARMSTRONG ROBERTS
Sell, kill or cOnfine all male birds
as soon as the Matching season is ov-
er. Hens lay just as well without
males. Without males the eggs are in
fertile, and such eggs keep better in
warm weather.
: One-third of our $5O,OOO,OOO annual
= loss in eggs can be prevented if the
ROSTERS are taken from the fiocks.
Summer heat has the same effect on
fertile eggs as the hen or incubator:
it starts to hatch them.
Heat in connection with eggs does
not necessarily mean excessive heat.
The fertileegg is susceptible to even
a moderate temperature. If allowed TO
remain in a temperature of even 20
degrees Fahrenheit for any length of
time 1t starts to incubate, slowly, of
course, nevertheless DEVELOPMENT
goes on, and every day the egg is ex-
posed to this warmth it is hastened
on its downward career.
The first stage of this deterioration
appears as blood on the yolk. Later a
blood ring is formed, which indicates
that the embryo is dead, and like all
dead animal matter forthwith it starts
to decay. In the egg trade heated eggs
are known as "foaters" and 'blood |
rings"
Infertile eggs, sometimes called
sterile eggs, have no vitalized life
germ, hence there are no blood rings
to develop. 1t is a mistake to assume.
however, that infertile eggs will not
spoil. They undergo certain chemical !
and physical changes which sooner or
later impair the quality of their con-
tents. They shring as badly as the
fertile eggs, and the yolks are likely
to weaken and break or stick to the I
shells.
1t is not uncommon for farm eggs
to remain in the nests for several 6
days, maybe a week, before it is deem
ed convenient to collect them, follow a

stored in the kitchen or back porch. [

Moisture, which is likely to result v
n bacterial contamination, is another q
great enemy of the eggs. A great many il
armers do not provide decent living e
luarters for their fowls. Frequently s.
he chickens are kept anywhere-in c

umble-down shack. These makeshift al
accommodations are difficult to clean. ii

No hen can produce clean, whole

THE PURPOSE OF THE ANTI

ed to exercise the right of eminent do

over, the Federal Constitution gives
Congress jurisdiction over interstate
commerce in order that the welfare
OF all the people may be adequately
protected The Poindexter anti-strike
Dill IS designed to afford that protec-
tlon IN definite and effective form.
1t is unfortunate that railroad own-
ers and railroad employees cannot al
ways agree. 1t is unfortunate L at hui
man beings generally are usually more
concerned over self-interest than they
are over public welfare. But so long
as human nature remains as il is
there will be differences of opinion
concerning relative rights, and those
dlHerences will lead to disputes of
serious nature. 1t becomes the dutv of
the public, then to guard it's own in
terests and to protect itself against
injury by the combatants.
1t is desirable that exact Justice be
zone In every case, but this is i'm |
possible. Exact justice may be done |
IN most cases, and approximate ius-
tlce In others. To this end. the GOV
eminent has established, in the rail
road act, provision for an adiudica-
ton of railroad disputes, which adj
Juolcatlon may be expected to attain
appFOXlmate Justice-a nearer ap-
proach to justice than will usually re-
SUIT from strikes and lockouts. Hay
ng provided that agency for adjudi-

sentative of the public welfare. has a
lght to demand that neither the en-
'loyer nor the employee of interstate
allroads shall enter into conspira-
,les TO interrupt interstate traffic. The 1:
government has the right, and bears i

"AMERICA FIRST"

A radical change has been made il
the curriculum of the high schools Of
Washington, D. c. After the begin
ming of the new school year in Sep
tember, every high school student will
be required to take courses in Am
erican history and civics. Foreign
languages, on the other hand, will be
made elective That means that the
grant of a high school diploma will
depend not at all upon proficiency in
an alien tongue, but will demand a
familiarity with our own nations his
tory and form of government. Super
intendent BallOu says he has taken
the action because he believes that a
fundamental knowledge of American
history and government is a prere-
quisite for good citizenship.
In making appropriations during
the war to pay the salaries of Wash
ingtOn school teachers, Congress stip-
ulated that no part of the money
should be used for the payment of
any teacher to give instruction in the
German language That restriction
does not apply to appropriations since
made. 1t was an extreme provision,
but how much more arbitrary is it to
or any other foreign language, espec- |
tally when similar mandate does
not apply to American history. After |
September the situation will be re-
versed in the Washington high
schools. Every pupil shall study Am
erican history, and may study for
eign language.
DR.. BallOu calls attention to a fact
of cha bo JoIr
ed when he says that 'as the high
school becomes more cosmopolitan
and more largely than ever before a.
finishing school rather than q pre-
paratOry school for college, it becomes
increasingly necessary to modify the
courses of study in accordance with
this change in personnel Had that
truth been permitted earlier to in {
fluence high school curriculums, the
country would have been saved from 1
much of the hectic wave of interna- I
tionalism that swept over it a year e
or so ago. +
What high school student, for in t
stance, knows anything about the pro- j
ceedings of the Constitutional Con- a
VentiOn and the debates that preced- p
ed the adoption of each of the pro- S
t1S4OnS VI OuF luuudmeuCdl law! what II
high schools are teaching today the Ct
lessons of the last three years of our s,
history and the events in Europe in ri
their relation thereto? Yet a proper p
understanding of the principles upon r;
which our government was founded in ci
1877, and the triumphant emergence G
If those principles in 1920 from the tt
yelter of supreme sacrifices,' inter tt
latiOnal guarantees and 'supergov- to
rnments' that assailed them is a sc
omplete course in itself, thorough tn
amiliarity with which should be de- m
handed of every high school student in
efOre he is handed diploma. to
High schools throughout the coun-
y may well profit by the example an
1t in the schools at the National Cap tn
al. Now is the time to plan the is
