street instead OF 10th street where
they were congregated. When the
sympathizers learned he had arrived
they began belated jeerifg and sang
songs Of the Irish republic. Police
interyened on the ground that no
permit had been issued for their
meeting.
After being driven from the Inn
mediate vicinity of the opera house
into Sixth avenue and side streets,
the rioters surged back onto Broad
way and several hundred OF them,
mostly women, collected In small
groups in Times Square, for several
blocks along Broadway.
Traffice was blocked around Times
Square when crowds gathered
around the small groups of women,
many OF whom shouted Historically
Lloyd George. the murderer" and
similar cries against the former pre-
mier. The police had another stiff
job on their hands in breaking up
these crowds which scattered only to
collect again.
While the uproar was at its height
on Broadway William Faversham,
actor. who is playing at the Both
street Theatre. appeared in his
makeup IN 'front.' OF the theatre and
shouted: Give me chance to be
heard by my audience! Lloyd George
is big Englishman, but I am only
a poor actor! How do you expect me
to make a iiving?" Is
He was loudly cheered as he went
back into the theatre.
Guarded by a large detail of mo-
torcycle and mounted policemen Mr..
Lloyd George reached the Waldorf
Astorit Hotel after the meeting with
out untoward incident. Crowds lined
the sidewalks. and among the per-
sons assembled there were groups of
those who had been disbanded by
the police. Aside from a few scat
tered shouts there was no disturb
ance. however,.
The police later tl1warted further
efforts of Irish republican sympathi-
zers to disturb Mr.. Lloyd George af-
ter he had retired for the night by
throwing a Gordon around his hotel
and dispensing band attempting to
march through 34th Street and an
other band who attempted a demon
stration near the hotel.

Wild Animals In Captivity

We are all wild animals in a state
of captivity. Nature meant man
to earn his bread by the sweat Of
his brow, and just so far as he
departs from that. Nature demands
some compensation. In the old DAYS
he worked and dug and sweat for
what he had. to eat and he got
mighty little of it. Now it is brought
to us on a platter. often times too
much of 1t. We do no manual work
for 1t, working with our brains only.
and that is contrary to Natures law.
We are hemmed in with the Jour
walls of civilization. The outdoor
man can eat anything that doesn't
eat him first. but unfortunately We
cannot be on perpetual vacation.
hunting and fishing and tramping
through the woods. If we could. we
could eat anything, and there wouid
be no worry about diet or exercise.
because we would be living a natural
life again. But these perpetual
vacations are out of the question
for most of us, and so we must as
] said, compensate in some way.

Dresses AZ Girl To Evade Draft

Love for his mother-a love which
induced him to evade the draft
brought to light the story of Frank
Schweighofer, %, of Marshfield, Wis,
who. dressed in his sisters clothes,
has lived in seculsion with his
mother and sister for five years,
while neighbours thought him gone
Schwieghofer told officers who held
him in custody it was the same love
which prompted him to evade the
draft which made him surrender
rather than desert his mother in
death.
II wasn't afraid of war, but my
mother was alone and she begged me
not to CO." Schweighofer explained,
according to Michael Griffin, chief of
police. Il didn't think it was right
to desert her when she died, and
that's why you found me-"
Schweighofer's presence in his
mothers home was first discovered
when he admitted neighbors into the
house after her death. He said he
had been living there for five years,
wearing his sisters clothes when he
worked in the garden.

COOPERATIVE MOVE
 BRIGHTENS FARM LIFE
Better Farming Methods Add To
 Interest Of Rural Life

DURHAM N. H., Sept. 7-(By As scciated Press. )-Si gnificant changes tending to check the economic trend which has been sapping farm life have been brought about by county agent work in the interest of better farming. according to a report by J C. Kendall, director of cooperative extension work in the University Of New Hampshire. Taking as a basls conditions in Sullivan county, where in August 10 years ago county agent work was first begun, Director Kendall points to numerous develop ments which he attributes directly and indirectly to extension activ- ities.
 Tn the first place. the spirit of aloof iudividualism has very largely gone,' Mir. Kendall says. People in the old days used to go to meet ings to scoff at the agricultural spe- cialist; now they stay and ask ques tions. They used to think it was a mistake to share their ideas on farming with each other; now they get together and discuss ways in which they can cooperate to ad- vantage.
 But the advance has not been one in spirit only" he adds, and points to scores of new houses built according to extension recommendations; to
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-09-09

standard feeding: the testing of two score thousands of birds; and tQ hill sides of Macintosh apple orchards destined to the axe and saved only by demonstrations that the scab could be controlled.
 The building up of cowtesting as sociations, the tendency toward bet ter sires, hundreds of alfalfa fields that yield three crops instead of two, farmers exchanges which do an an nual business in the state of $1,2OO,- 900 are all evidences of the moVe- IT ent, MT. Kendall asserts.
 Substantial results In making farm life more desirable for young people and their elders alike are also observable. He points to better balanced meals, more economical and attractive wardrobes. walls of more prepossessing appearance and kitch- ems with modern conveniences. Last year 10000 women worked together to make each other dress forms of grmmed paper, co-operated in nak ing patterns and helped each other make fireless cookers.
 In addition, Mir. Kendall points to boys and girls clubs and asserts that the significance of 2,000 young sters training in various farm and home projects is not to be easily waved aside.
