NEW YORK. Jan. il. The action
Of France In moving her troops
still further into Germany and Oc,
cupying additional territory viii un.
6loubtedly bring things to q head
insofar as the situation In which
France and Germany more particu.
larry figure, Is concerned.
Just what the present action Of
France will result In I do not know
and no one else does. It ID like

In the present situation. the Re.
sponsibility rests with France. II

has made q mistake, the blame viii
rest on her for having started q
European cOnflagrafi0n
It must not be lost sight Of that
France IS not acting entirely with.
out the approval a0f some OF the al
lies, Great Britain has expressed
her approval but Belgium and
italy have not dissented. IL, there
fore, the action OF France proves To
have disastrous results, then Italy
and Belgium must also bear their
share Of the responsi ability It II
largely their affair.
The presence Of American troops
in the Rhineland. has no doubt had
an excellent moral effect, but A.
regards their removal now or their
contention IS concerned, do not
believe it will have any serious
results either way.
AS to the probability Of Germany
9orcibly resisting further French oc-
cupation, I think there Is none. The
resistance viii be passive ana no
blood IS likely to be shed to the
extent of creating q situation which
may bring about another war. Ger.

France Is not seeking more war.
fare now.
Il Against League.
Regarding the participation Of the
United States. with other European
countries through some form Of
coalition, ais has been suggested to
bring about q settlement Of Eu.
ropes troubles, heartily approve
Of 1t. but / do not approve OF par
ticipation through the league Of ma.
tons. It would besa splendid thing
stf our government would use Its
great influence to bring about q
peaceful settlement, in which
France, and. OF course Germany
also, would be given fair treatment.
But Just as soon as q settlement
was effected, the United States
should withdraw and involve Itself
no further in European politics.
The great thing needful is Tor
the administration to do something
positive, not to listen to Senator
Lodge one day and Incline toward
his counsel, ana then to listen to
some one else the next day who
has some other action to suggest.
Either do something or do not, but
do not let us keep up the present
policy Of shi1ly shallying. It gets
governments nowhere in the settle
ment Of problems any more than 1t
does individuals.
Either let us go to Europe and
Join with other nations in bringing
about peace conditions, with result
ing prosperity, or else throw up
our hands and say positively that
we decline doing anything at all.

Many Diseases of Fruit
and Ornamental Trees

That many diseases OF fruit and or
namental trees pass the winter in
cankers on the branches and that un.
less these are removed and destroyed
they become sources for the spread of
the disease. is the conclusion of Ohio
experiment station botanists who adj
yocate close pruning of all dead
branches and stubs SO that healing will
be rapid and complete. The diseased
prunings must be burnt, for II left on
the ground spores will develop and still
further spread the disease.
II Is usually best to remove trees
which have become so badly infested
that 1t is impossible to check the prog
ress OF the disease as they are un.
slightly and serve TO infect nelghbor.

LOCKS ON DOORS A PUZZLE
ArcnlSects Wonder Why People Insist
on Having Locks Through
out the House.

1t has long been a question with
architects why people should have
doors throughout the house so COM
pietely equipped with locks. WHY.
FOR example, should all the closet and
bedroom doors have locks? Did Won
ever lock your bedroom door? Prob
ably not. 1t may be desirable to nut
locks ON closet doors. Do not put q
lock on a door just because If is q
door. Perhaps, after all. you will
never lock it. AT any event bolt
or thumb turn will serve all the
purposes of lock and you will not
nave key to look after.
However, it should be said that q
mortised latch will usually cost more
imam bit key lock. OF course if Won
nave a small boy in the house Won
VIII want a lock on the pantry door.
Some people have thought it desirable

such closet may come in very handy |

ng else than as a space in which to

Different Ways to Cure
Newly Placed Concrete

Recent survey of numerous high
way construction projects show that
contractors employ different methods
to cure newly-laid concrete This cur
ing is said to be one of the very i'm
portant processes In building a first
class concrete pavement.
On level sections of highway, the
preferred method. it was found, is the
building of earth dykes along the edges
Of the pavement and flooding the in
side area as shown in the Illustration.
The water Is then kept on the surface
of the concrete for ten days or two
weeks. This method was thought q
be cheaper than covering with earth
because Of the labor necessary to
shovel the dirt on TO the pavement
and later clean it off The water re-
luired to keep the earth wet was
ibout as much as If the surface of
he pavement was flooded.
Some contractors reported that the /

Table Scraps Important
Item for Small Flocks

Table scraps become an important
item for small flock, but are of little
value for large numbers. The small
flock will pay at all seasons, because
the scraps lessen the cost of the food
by permitting Of the utilization Of
waste materials that would otherwise

son every family should keep few

Louisiana Parish Saves
Money by Using Iron Ore

iron ore, found in northwestern
Louisiana has proved of great value
In road building in that state. and. in

$1,000 a mile in the cost of construc-

Highway engineers in Louisiana
nave been using the ore as a binder
instead of sand or clay. and have
found it far superior to that marerial
IN many Instances. During 1922 the
Louisiana state highway department
completed $50 miles of new roads
Most of this mileage consists of gravel
The remainder consists of roads built
OF shells, sheet asphalt or bitulithic

Iron ore was first used in De Soto
parish, La, in 1917. Then a large do.

Substitute for Flax.

Linen, heretofore made exclusively
from flax, has been growing dearer
and dearer in proportion as the flax
plant has become rarer and more diff
>cult TO cultivate. Now, it is said,
satisfactory substitute has been found
in the flax lily which grows in album

grow admirably in many parts of
Europe and America 1t is far easier
to cultivate than flax itself, and it has

used several times over. Moreover,
1t was not hard work to distribute the
hay or rake 1t up after the curing
period.
Where water was plentiful, some
contractors expressed themselves in
favor of using sprinklers. A water
pipe was laid down the center of the
road, with lawn sprinklers attached at
frequent intervals. These were kept
running several hours a day.
The advantages of one or another
method Of curing were not found to
be such as to affect the strength or
wearing qualities of the concrete. AL
though concrete begins to harden soon
after it is mixed, the full strength is
developed by progressive hardening
over a period of time. The hardening
process Is said to be not driving
process, as the presence of moisture
is necessary to assist the chemical
action which causes concrete to harden.

How Much Grain to Feed
Hens of Various Breeds

Most people who are attempting TO
nut the flock on q scientific basis are
| perpIexed as to the amount OF grain
which they should feed to their hens.
Some people feed by measure, others
! by "handfuIsp and most people by
guesswork.
Measure feeding is probably to be
condemned more than any other
method. Merely giving a quart pail of
grain to the hens and letting 1t go at
that Is what causes so many poor flock
records over the country. The hens
should be fed all that they will con-
sumo, never by measure, yet measures
can be used as an indication of the
amount they are likely to require.
Morning feeding of grain should be
just sufficient to get the hens busy. |
Oats make a good morning feed and |
one quart to a hundred hens will keep |
them busy most of the morning, but
where a balanced grain and mash ra-
ton is being fed you will not want to
disturb it by feeding oats alone in the
morning. Feed a small quantity of
the grain mixture you are using in the
only enough to get the hens
working and give them all they want
at night.
