PIGEON Finds Way by Sight.

A British royal air force pigeon, re-
leased from balloon a mile and a
half above the ground, was unable to
see the earth below on account of a
thick blanket of clouds. After flying
around for little time the bird gave
up all hope Of finding its way back to
its home, some $50 miles away, and
settled down comfortably on the bal
loon, much as rsoah's dove settled on
the ark when II could find no place
to rest on account of the waters. The
pigec.l, however, had better luck than
Noah's dove. After time rift APP
peared in the clouds, and the bird
swoeped from the balloon through the
gap in the vapor, and two hours later
had delivered the message tied to it's
Leg. This incident indicates that a
pigeon finds its way home by sight,
not by instinct. rs manv hare thought.

That five thousand innocent chill
dren have already become confirmed
dope addicts in Chicago alone and
that child addiction is spreading
throughout the nation at an alarming
pace, should be sufficient to Jar
thousands of men and women into a
full realization of what the drug
menace means to society at large.
While the country goes unthink-
ingly about its daily work, while
wealthy men and women endow many
charities that do not require funds.
while others seldom give thought to
the menace of narcotics because they
think it "too revolving" and regard
it as something to be covered up
and not discussed, the very flower of
American youth is confronting a far
more deadly foe than war, in dope. .
In Human Wreckage," Mrs. Wal
lace Reid's great anti-narcotic photo
play, the distribution of dope among
school children is revealed in all its
terrifying aspects. The scenes are
not revolving; they are not calculated
to horrify beholders. But they are
designed to drive home with powerful
blows the real inside story of dope in
this country-the story of a dread
enemy that menaces not only the pitt
full slaves already addicted to the use
of opiates, but also hundreds of
thousands of children and young
men and women who are, together
with many others, living at faster
pace today than ever before.
Human Wreckage," to be exhibit
ed at the Caughren theatre Sunday
and Monday, March 1924 shows
how unsuspecting school children are
met outside a highschool by pasty-
faced dope peddler and how the US
ual capsules filled with the deadly
white powder are slipped into their
hands. These scenes are not exagger-
ated. They are developed in all the
truth of stark realism. Conditions are
revealed on the screen just as they
exist in real life.
Alice Brady's latest Paramount
picture, "The Snow Bride" which will

Alfalfa Hog Pasture

Alfalfa makes an excellent crop for
hogs. When it is used for this pur-
pose, a sufficiently large field should
be sown, SO that the hogs may have
access to it and the regular hay crops
be removed just as if no hogs were
on the field. With SO large pasture,
the hogs root up very little except
near the feeding and watering places,
and moving at the proper time keeps
the plants growing and allows them to
produce vigorous young stems, which
are relished by the hogs. Clover pas
ture lasts but one year, and the field
is then plowed and planted to some
other crop, so roofing and close pas
turing are not so Objectionable.
When as many hogs per acre are put
on an Alfalfa field as are usually put
on clover field, permanent injury to
the stand is likely to result.
Don't risk cattle on Alfalfa for
pasture, as the danger from bloat is
very great.

Sweet Clover Pasture

Alfalfa for hay, Sweet Clover for
pasture is getting to be rule in some
parts of Minnesota.
Sweet Clover would be good crop
for any farmer to try on small scale
for pasture crop. 1t is put out ex-
actly like Alfalfa with a light sown
spring nurse crop, barley or oats, etc.
If unscarafied seed is used it will re-
seed itself the second and third years.
It is a biennial and each plant lives
only two years. If scarafied seed is
used, it should be reseeded the second
year for continuous pasture.
1t should not be let grow too high
before pasturing. The first year it
will make good fal! pasture after the
nurse crop has been removed.
Seed IL pounds per acre if scara-
fed seed is used. Seed Is to 18
pounds if unscarafied seed is used.
A good stand will pasture as high

Suicide and Climate
Are Closely Related

The relation of suicide to climatic
and other factors presents the results
OF the extensive statistical analysis Of
the relation of suicide to climatic and
racial factors, and to industrialism
occupation, urban conditions, age and
sex. 1t has long been recognized that
the suicide rate is higher among the
Nordic race than among Alpine or
Mediterranean peoples. Mixed peo-
pies usually have a higher rate than
either of the pure races to which they
belong. Foreigners In New York show
higher suicide rate than In the
countries from which they came,
writes Or. ]. R. Miner in American
Journal Of Hygiene"
The lowest rate is found in Ireland
and the highest in Saxony. while the
rate varies in different parts Of
France, according to the racial COM
position Of the population. Among
Asiatic peoples, the Japanese and Chi
nese rates are high, while In India II
is low (4.S per 100000. India ap-
pears to be the only country where fe-
male suicides exceed the male.
The general trend OF suicide rates
has been upward during the last CEN
fury, but the higher rates tend to be
come stabilized. Germany. France.
Denmark and Sweden have high rates !;
Britain. Norway and the Netherlands
low rates. In the United States the
rates are lowest in the South and
higher In the West.

Aeronauts Don't Land
to ReceiUe Messages

The British air service In Mesopota-
mia has perfected q scheme for deliver
Ing written messages to planes without
the necessity of their landing and
stopping to pick up the documents.
A line II stretched between two
poles about six feet high and perhaps
twenty feet apart To this line the
message is tied. BY spreading large
pieces of cloth on the ground In q pre-
arranged pattern the pilot OF the air
craft is signaled that there Is mes
sage for him; the arrangement of the
cloth also indicates in what direction
he must fly to cross the line between
the poles at right angles. II more than
one plane is up, the cloth again tells
which plane Is to receive the message.
says the New York World.
The selected plane swoops low over
the poles and the pilot bangles line
to the end Of which is attached hook.
This engages the line to which the mes
sage IL tied, and line, message and all
are dragged into the air. The pilot
reels In his catch as the plane speeds
away. II the message is to be deliv-
cred the plane simply dives to the
point of delivery and drops the mes
sage.
The pilots have become very expert
at picking up and dropping messages
In this fashion.

INFORMATION, PLEASE"

These words are familiar to people
who use the telephone. ''Informa-
ton" is the operator who gives the
telephone numbers of persons not list
ed In the directory.
To keep telephone directory en-
tfrely up to date is impossible Teie-
phones are being installed every day
while the directories are renewed
twice year, As q matter of fact, new
telephones are Installed and numbers
changed while the directory is being
printed. These new telephone num-
bers must be available to all tee-
phone users. Hence the Information
Operator.
In larger telephone companies the
Information Operator" is confined to
the work of furnishing information
which has direct bearing on establish.
ing telephone connections. The furn.
ishing of other information. such IA
the time of the day, results of athletic
events, etc, would cause serious con-
gestion at the information desk and
thereby slow up the service for per
sons who really need telephone infor-
nation. That Is why large telephone
companies no longer can give out this
information.

TELEPHONE PERSONALITIES
NOW BEING CULTIVATED

The fact that the voice represents
the personality OF the individual
using q telephone Is receiving consid-
cradle thought these days.
In business, for example. people
talk to each other for long time,
by telephone. before they meet face
to face. The only way these people
have to Judge one another is by the
voice.
After all, II isn't so hard to Inn
press people favorably over the teie-
phone. It's h'Si II matter OF putting
little pleas intnpSs into the voice
and generously using the words
please" and thank you"
Telephone users are realizing that a
telephone personality" ls not only
a business but a social asset.

dying out by degrees. When Mrs.

green plants, with hanging vines
from the balconies; a fountain of
sparkling water, beside which stood
two pure white egrets, gave a most
restful effect. We left with regret,

To get in touch with the mass of
the people, the markets must be
visited. They are open every day,
Sunday being no exception. AS in
Colon, everything is sold in small
quantities. Each egg is wrapped in
dried grass; the meat is cut with
a hatchet-like cleaver. Among the
things sold were the large earthen
vessels, in which women carry wa

pie who could speak English were
the jamaican negroes, and they al
ways came to our assistance when
we wanted information.

The water In the zone of saturation is
divided into two parts-that which sup

Into three parts-that which lies in the
