SXSyeY around in circles when
some soulless protiteer en-
gneers a corner and the price of eggs
goes soaring. For the coloneIs lady
and Judy O'Grady are sisters under
their skinsn-when it comes to being
skinned on eggs. Their cries are what
correspond to a mans curses-and in
this case they don't come home to

ises of the protiteer. Nowadays the
housewives usually bust the corner
and knock down the prices and get
the profteer's financial scalp.
What is the hen population of the

1t would be some job and add greatly
to the troubles of the census man.
And perhaps the chickens are too nu-
merous to mention
Anyway. Nebraska had hen popu-
1923. Her hens produced 5O.0O0,0O0
dozen eggs last year. Her poultry and
egg industry IL worth S35,OOO,OO0 n
year. Now, the available figures show
that Nebraska Is below rather than
above the average as chicken state.
So we have approximately 550.0OO,O0O
hens In the United States. These hens
lay 2,4OO,OO000O dozen eggs year.
The value of the chicken and egg bust
ness is 81, $50, ,OO0.OOO year. Compare
those figures with these figures: The
1922 wheat crop Of tho United States
was valued at S720 COO. 200 and the corn
crop was worth $1,S01 300.

MEDICAL SERVICE BY
RADIO FOR SEAMEN

Just a year ago the United States
Public Health Service announced
that It had completed arrangements
to expand the medical aid service to
American seamen, with which 1t had
first been charged by Congress a
century and a quarter ago. by pre-
scribing by radio for any sailor who
might be taken i'll at sea and who
might apply. Messages for aid were
to be forwarded to the service by the
ships radio via the Radio Corpora
ton Of America OF the Independent
Wireless Telegraph Company.
The range If diseases and mishaps
for which aid has been invoked during
the first year Is amazing. Many OF
the diagnoses were made on board
ship because sailors are resourcefuI
in meeting emergencies. Sometimes
interchange of messages was neces-
sary to obtain clear information as to
the cause OF the trouble. Appendix
citis, asthma, cramps, diarrhea, ear
ache, infected teeth, malaria, pto-
maine poisoning were some of the list
prescribed for by radio.

INDUSTRIAL UNREST
VS.. GREAT OUTDOORS

Men have been paying too much at.

and not enough to keeping up their
engineers, says Prof. H. w Cordell,
head Of the department Of business
administration 81 the State College OF
Washington. discussing the causes OF
present-day industrial unrest.
EN- the last few years an enormous
amount Of attention has been given
to machinery. equipment and process
es Of production" he says. more
emphasis must be given now to the
human element in business and In In
duatry.
Human nature has not changed in
thousands q years. yet The work en-
Fironment has changed enormously IN
the last $50 years. WoFk, instead Of
being largely out-of-doors and crea-
tive, has come to be for very large
numbers Of people. indoor, routine,
monotonous.
"As much as possible work should
be made interesting, satisfying.
Where this can be done, workers
manual, clerical, executive alike
should have reasonably short hours
OF work so that they may engage in
wholesome recreation, and 30 satisfy
the basic human instincts and i'm
pulses"
