SILHOUETTES OF
 STATE CAPITAL
(eTATE CAPITAL BUREAI

MONTGOMERY, Ala, March I.-- Satsuma groves which had been proper ly cared for passed through the excep- tionally cold weather of the present winter in a manner which has given their owners renewed enthusiasm and cnofidence in the future industry, ae- cording to c. G. Starcher, former head of the horticultural department at Au- burn who was a visitor to the capitol today following a recent trip over the Satsuma belt. His verdict was that the satsuma has passed through the anna teur and experimental stage and is now a horticultural crop ofsrecognized value and importance.
 He stated, however, that growers who attempted to ''cheat" nature in locating and handling their satsuma groves paid the penalty in the unusual cold of some two months ago. A num- Der of weak trees were killed and in some cases even the, hardy "citrus tri- foliata" stock, upon which the satsuma is grafted, was killed.
 When asked as to possibilities of ex- pansion of satsuma growing, Mir. Star cher stated that he saw no better satsuma trees anywhere than at Floma- ton in Escambia county, north of the Florida line. He mentioned also that interest is being show in satsuma grow ing in Mississippi with northern capital coming in there in several localities to take up satsuma growing.
 Mir. Starchers regards horticulture as one of the most promising fields for development in Alabama, generally, not only in the, satsuma industry but in other lines and stated he has noted evidence of growing interest in fruit production in various parts of the state.
 Bream is not q poor fish so far as nomenclature! he's pretty rich in names. In the first place there are 15 aliases, under which he travels in Alabama, and then there are three jaw-breaking Latin titles for as many varieties of the species.
 Here's what bream is officially:
 l. (Lepomis Incisor), known as blue joe, blue perch, blue bream, blue sun. fish,, copper-nosed bream and blue gill.

Easy Way to Remove
 Freckles and Eruptions

Some women have skin of such tex ture they occasionally are annoyed by the sudden appearance of freokles, slight eruptions or fine lines. March winds usually play havoc with such skins. If one will procure an ounce of ordinary mercolized wax at any drug store, apply little before retiring, like cold cream, the trouble can easily be overcome. When the wax is washed off next morning, almost invisible flaky skin particles come with 1t. The entire outer cuticle soon Is removed in this way, with all its defects. No bleach could so effectually remove frecl1les or blemishes. The new surface is smooth. clear, fresh looking. No harm or incon venience accompanies this treatment.- Adv ..ts

Nowhere else in the world is tele-

United States. Nowhere else does
telephone subscriber find his

this includes New York City can
he get such prompt, intelligent and
painstaking service.
In other countries, in many In
stances, the telephone service is
either owned by the government
in which case those who have had
occasion to use such telephone SER
vice say it is atrocious-or it is SO
controlled and supervised by gov
eminent that the restrictions and
regulations regarding telephone use
make telephoning pain instead of
convenience. Here the telephone
Is at it's best and the price for u.s.

AGRICULTURE

Farm women belonging to a home
demonstration club in Arson county,
N. G. with the help Of the home dem
onstration agent, according to a re-
port received by the United States
Department Of Agriculture, have de-
veloped system of marketing their
poultry in an organized way, enabling
them to place their dressed chickens
on sale with the least possible delay
and to realize immediate profits.
The marketing was organized first
by securing a list Of every woman in
the county having hens for sale and
the number available. Next meet
ing was held in each community rep
resented on the list, at which the.
members interested were instructed
in dressing, packing, making out bills.
and other selling details. Each COM
munity was given special time for
its shipment to Wadesboro, the coun-
ty market. Wednesday of each week
was set aside as dressing day" and
Thursday as packing day." The hens
were brought to central point, usu-
ally club members house or the
schoolhousle, and everybody helped
with the work of killing, picking, and,
after the hens had been cooled over
night, packing in barrels. If, as fire.
quently happened, the extension agent
received kilograms calling for an in
creased number Of chickens, the local
leader in some community farther
down the schedule was notified to
have her club members get their sup
ply ready.
People had a good time at these
community chen parties" The hus-
bands and often the whole family
came and helped. The value of re-
ceiving check for all ones poultry
at one time was greatly appreciated.
Orders from individual housewives
and from grocery stores, hotels, and
tea rooms were also filled by parcel
post. Through selling dressed chick
ems, orders were also secured for 9TH
er products, including turkeys, fig
products, fig preserves, pickles and
butter.

State Department Of Health;
Disposal OF Milk Wastes

A problem in chemical and sani-
tary engineering to which attention
has recently been given by the Bu-
reaus of Chemistry and Of Sanitary
Engineering of the State Department
Of Health, is the disposal Of milk
wastes from the creameries and dairy
farms. In sections of the State where
there are no sewerage systems and
where the untreated wastes are allow
ed to flow into small shallow streams,
considerable nuisances. have arisen.
The Gaseous matter in these waste
waters putrifes more or less rapidly,
causing what is probably unwhole-
some contamination of the stream
water and giving rise to Objectionable
odors especially during dry summer
months.
Some of the results of the studies
that have been made in an effort to
abate these nuisances are given by
Miss Lillian G. Burroughs, of the Blu
reau Of Chemistry, in an article in
the current issue of the Journal of
Dairy Science. Prolonged investiga-
tion finally showed that by carefully
adjusting the amount of free acid in
the waste SO that it fall between GER
ain well defined limits, practically
complete deposit of the Objectionable
solid material may be effected. The
water can then be discharged into a
stream without causing any disagree
able effects, and the deposited solid
matter either burned or used as a
fertilizer.
Maryland was among the thirty
seven states that were represented at
the recent conference of Directors of
State Bureaus of Child Hygiene at
the U. S. Children's Bureau, in Wash
irgton. Special attention was given
in the discussions to prenatal and in
FAINT care; care Of the pre-school child
and the organization of child health
conferences. In connection with the
latter, it is interesting to note that
conferences at which mothers are adj
vised in regard to the health Of their
babies and children Of pre-school age,
are now held regularly in twenty-nine
places in twelve Of the counties in the
State.

It was in the early part of 1880
that the telephone was first intro
duced into the White House.
This was shortly after the opening
Of the first central Office in Washing
ton, when an individual grounded-cir
cult line was installed at the White
House. This telephone was located
in the executive Office, and later there
was an extension connecting the OF
flee of the Secretary to the Presi
dent.
Not until 1898 was a telephone sys.
tenn installed, connecting the White
House with all other governmental
departments. This system was par.

small switchboard was installed.
In 1904 a larger switchboard was

Decrease In Infant Mortality

Fewer infant deaths have been re-
ported from the counties of Maryland
during the current year, than for the
corresponding period, last year. The
total number reported for the first
nine months of 1923 was 1928; the
total for the nine months ending Sep
TENDER 80, 1924, was 1161. DR.. John
s. Fulton, Director Of the State De-
partment of Health, attributes the
decrease to attendance at the child
health conferences and to the fact
that there have been no serious cpl
denies during the year.
