AMERICAN BUSINESS SOUND

In view of the somewhat depress-
ing pictures which have been broad
cast in connection with the recent
rail and coal strikes, it is satisfying
to notice that, in an analysis of in
dustrial conditions in sixty-five indus
trial centers recently issued by the
director general of the United States
employment service, a branch of the
department of labor, distinctly OPP
timistic tone prevails. This analysis
applies to nearly 1900 firms, usually
employing a total of more than l.
100000. The statement says that the
soundness of business is reflected in
the increased number of employed in
many industries, surmounting the re-
action of the rail and fuel situation,
and adds that, although feeling the
effects of uel shortage, many indus
tries show improvement.
Regarding general conditions in
the state of New York, the report ex-
plains that, Notwithstanding the
many handicaps which business has
been compelled to face, a more prom
ising aspect mas, on thewhole, devel-
oped. In fact, actual shortage of all
types of labor and experienced trades
men is said to obtain throughout the
state. Moreover, the supply is un-
equal to the demand for experienced
farm hands, and with the expanding
building operations there is noticed a
scarcity of mechanics for the various
building trades,
OF great significance are the con-
clusions drawn in several places in
the report. For example, once it Is
said, with the partial adjustment of
labor controversies, the general in
dustrial and employment situation is
more reassuring." Elsewhere it says,
Despite the continued coal contro-
versy and the existing difficulties in
transportation, more favorable turn
in the industrial situation is at hand"
On still another page is a statement
to the effect that thetextile industry
is showing signs of revival, (which
will boom conditions in New Eng
land" In the light of such a reassur-
ing report, it certainly is permissible
to look for an increasing improve
ment from now on in practically
every department OF business activ-
ity in America.

HENS IN MANY FLocKs
TROUBLED WITH WORMS

Inquiries and specimens of sick
chickens that have been received
from scores of farmers in all parts
of the state during the last few
months by the veterinary department
of the Kentucky Agricultural Expert
ment Station indicate that many Ken
lucky poultry hocks are dangerously
infestedw ith worms, veterinarians of
the station say. Practically all hens
that have not been treated probably
are troubled with few internal par
asites, although the number is not big
enough to be serious in number of
cases. In cases where the worms
have become serious, hens lose
weight, despite the fact that they are
eating heartily, and finally die. Vet
erinarians and poultrymen at the
station have suggested that farmers
take steps to rid their birds of the
parasites before winter
Whether or not worms are respon-
sible for the death of fowls can be
! determined by opening the intestines
with a pair of shears and observing
| the tract from the gizZard to the
caeca, commonly known. as the two
| blind sacks. If worms the the cause
/ of death, they usually are quite evi-
dent in large numbers in the small
| intestine. Tapeworms, distinguished
| by the well defined segements that
make UP their length and wire worms
usually are most common in this part
of the tract. Worms in the caeca are
small and thread-like and usually
measure from a quarter to half an
inch long.
In treating for tapeworms, a table
spoonful of concentrated lye is add
ed to a gallon of mash and stepped
| for two hours. The treatment for
wire worms is made by covering a
pound of chopped tobacco stems with
water and sleeping for two hours af-
| ter which this mixture is added to a
gallon of mash. In giving either of
the treatments to hens, they are TAX
en- off feed the night before and fed
the feed mixture the following noon
or afternoon. If necessary the treat
ment should be repeated in about one
week 1t is well to follow the tobacco
treatment with dose of epson salts,
using one pound for 100 hens in the
drinking water.

Unshaken Testimony

Time is the test of truth. And
Doan's Kidney Pills have stood the
test in Mt Sterling. No Mt. Sterling
resident who suffers backache or an
noying urinary ills can remain uncon-
vinced by this twice-told testimony.
Mrs. Jace Trimble, 38 N. Queen
St., Mt. Sterling, says: "Doan's Kid
ney Pills helped when my kidneys
were out of order and l suffered with
dull nagging backaches and pains in
my kidneys. l felt tired and weak. l
also had dizzy headaches and my kid
neys acted irregularly. used Doan's
Kidney Pills from Duerson's Drug
Store and they fixed my kidneys up
in good shape"

January 8, 1917, and on December 13,
1920, Mrs. Trimble added: II have
never had the slightest sign of kid

BILL JONES ON VACATIONS"

You call at the bank, the store or
the office and ask for a certain per-
son connected with the business.
He's away on his vacation" you
are told.
You telephone to a familiar num-
ber and an unfamiliar voice says in
answer to your query: why, he's
away on, his vacation"
Or you write an important letter
and want an immediate answer. In
stead you get a reply, which reads
in part:
''Mr. Brown will write you when he
returns from his vacation"
During the summer months taking
vacations seems to be about the prin-
cipal business. OF course, it is all
right; in fact, it is necessary, but it
is a bit disturbing to the even flow
of business and social intercourse
among acquaintances and friends
But Bill Jones leaves off chewing
his tooth pick long enough to philos-
ophize:
People take their vacations, but
somehow things move along about
the same. The electric light plant
has quit for a vacation, although it's
mighty hot down there. There is al
ways gas on tap at my house."
''The street cars run when the ther-
mometer is soaring around the hun
dred mark and the telephone is on
the job every hour of the day and
night.
There seems to be no vacations,
no holidays, not even any Sundays,
for the public utilities. And say, mist
ter, what a howl would go up If the
! public utilities did business just to
suit their whims, Ike some other bus
nesses are run. Guess it's because
the managers figure they are public
servants and they have a first duty
to perform to the public"

MAKING PRISONS PAY

Under the guidance of non-partisan
board control Kentucky's prisons fig
ure to be a self-sustaining basis next
year. The non-partisan system of
management was instituted two years
ago and some old contracts made un-
der partisan control are expiring. The
new contracts call for better returns
for the state and show what business
administration of public institution
can accomplish.
The non-partisan method of hand
ling public institutions is a success.
But it is not popular with politicians.
1t must be forced into acceptance by
popular demand. Partisan politics
lives on spoils. In some cases the
spoils of office are legitimate, but
public institutions and the unfortu-
mates in charge of the state should
never be at the mercy of the spoils-
men. Political control of prisons is
bad from the humane standpoint and
worse from the financial. 1t encour-
ages graft and cruelty and mendacity.
Contractors for prison labor pay
what they must. If they are dealing
with politicians they must meet poll
tical conditions. If they are doing
business with business men they can
figure on a business basis. This is
the difference which counts for the
benefit of the state and the taxpay-
ers.
Kentucky is beginning to work out
of the political wilderness. More and
more the public is demanding per-
formances rather than promises, eff
cheney rather than eloquence. The
spellbinder is being told to get down
to facts and figures. What has devel-
oped in connection with prison man
agement should be developing in re-
lation to the public schools and to
the administration of justice.
Political management of the schools
has made a desperate fight for exten-
sion of its life tenure. But it must
go. Also, the day of partisan repre-
sentation on the bench is passing.
When the taxpayers realize that clean
business is cheaper than foul politics
in public affairs, partisan pleas Will
not ayail.-Louisville Times.

EGYPTIAN COTTON
ACREAGE LARGER

The United States Department OF
Agriculture says the acreage planted
to cotton in Egypt is 1881, 900 acres,
compared with 1.341 900 last year and
1897 900 in 1920. Production is fore
cast at 100000 bales.
India is credited with 12.496,00O
acres. compared with 11,976,0OO last
year and 12,29S.O 900 in 1920. Condition
is satisfactory and that of Egypt "a
per cent of average. 1t is too early
to count on production, but acreage
figures point to a slight increase over
last years crop.

Brooklyn Indoor
Tennis Tourney Is
Marked by Upset
Roberts Outplays kynaston
and Wins 3.Set Match;
Field of So Entered

In the defeat of Percy l.. Kynaston
Nassau and Queens champion, came an
early upset in the flrst annual Brooklyn
indoor tennis championship yesterday.
In what proved TO be perhaps the most
interesting match of the opening dav's
play at the 14th Regiment Armory, Ky
naston was clearly outplayed by Ralph
+. Roberts. the Terrace Club veteran.
by score of 60, 4--6, Cd. The lat
ter surprised with his agile court COW
ering, steadiness and sharp angling.
and earned good percentage of his
points on placements.
kynaston was not particularly off
stroke, but Roberts's excellent iudg
ment IN placing forced him to hurry
his returns and errors resulted. OF
the two, Roberts was the more daring
IN playing for the lines and corners,
and IN the end his willingness to take
chances prevailed. Service was a de-
cislve factor. just as it was in most of
the matches during the day.
After dropping the opening set at
90, Kynaston began to speed up his
drives and get more length to his shots
and Roberts, who had set fast pace
IN the first division of play, was unable
10 MAINTAIN the aggressive. In the
extra set, however, Roberts, by out
seeadlng and outplacing Kynaston, ran
l"Vo an early lead and carried it to
o-2. Then Kynaston rallied and
brought the score to Sd, but Roberts
on ms own service ended it in the next
game S10 "oN'
ttty-two players of more or 1ess
local prominence were drawn for the
event, which is being held under the
auspices OF the new Brooklyn Indoor
Tennis Club. Among the number are
FRANK L. Anderson, national indoor

against Edgar F. Dawson, national iu-
