4 USELESS ELARE-UP
IN THE BALKANS

If Greece and Bulgaria are look
ing for an excuse TO start another
Balkan war they have it in'the In
cident at Demirhissar where
Greek national was killed while SOL
diers on the boundary amused
themselves by firing in each others
direction. But We rather think there
will be no war, despite the 4S-hour
ultimatum.
1t costs money to fight wars; and
by the time news Of the Balkan out
break percolates thoroughly into
the European chancellories and the
money LENDERS get wind Of 1T, the
dogs of war will not be unleashed.
Greece had Il taste Of trouble dur
ing the last showdown in Asia
Minor with Turkey and ought to
have enough for awhile. 1t is hard
to believe that its responsible OIL
Gals will court another adventure
with guns unless they think Bull
garia would be easy picking.
The more modern and logical
view is that 1t is a job for the
League of Nations. Instead of
shooting at one another and muss-
ing up the Balkans again, with the
customary results of nothing being
settled, the aggrieved parties more
appropriately might settle the dis
putation around a mahogany table
now &c later.

.. What effect has the knowi-
edge of arithmetic had on the hu.
man race? o.
A, Arithmetic Is the science OF
reckoning and 1t developed among
mankind because of the necessity
he was under of numbering things,
and making calculations OF various
kinds in order 10 measure, weigh,
and express quantities with exact
itude. Without arithmetic or a
science Of reckoning, civilization, as
we. know 1t today. would be i'm.
possible. II we could not count and
reckon we could not deal with our
fellow men In all the manifold ex-
changes of commerce. nor could we
erect buildings, measure money, or
do any of the things which arith-
metic enables US TO do. To do away
with the science Of reckoning would
throw us back into prehistoric
times and everything that requires
measurement would be guesswork.
Q. Can you give me some infor-
nation about the United States
Court of Claims?
A. The Court of Claims was es-
tablished by an act of congress,

States, or for damages in respect of
which claims the party would be
entitled to redress against the
United States, either in a court of
law, equity, or admiralty, II the
United States were suable, except
claims growing out of the Civil war,
and commonly known as war
claims. and certain rejected claims.
In the above cases the court may
enter judgment against the United
States. payable out Of the public
treasury. There Is a statute of
limitations which prevents parties
bringing actions more than six
years after the cause of action &C.
crued; but the various depart
ments of the government may refer
claims at any time, If they were
pending therein within the six years.
The court sits In Washington, d. C..
on the first Monday in December
and continues to sit until all cases
ready for trial are disposed of. 1t

stop the worrying millions of
freckled girls and women In just a

Volcanoes ] Have Fallen Into
Lester

Lester was known to all the girls
as a woman-hater. He was the
tloorwalker in our store, and oil Of
lis girls used 10 watch him as we
walked down the aisles without
looking at any Of us. The way he
looks at me, you'd think I was one
OF the stockings on the counter.
Some Of the girls spied on him In
the evenings, but he evidently
never went out with any girls, for
every night he would go to a movie
or walk in the park alone.
But one night was going home
late and just as turned the corner
somebody said Hello. girlie!" and
kissed me. And what a hug: he
broke one Of my ribs! When I
broke away. / saw 1t was Lester!
I've forgiven him for It, though.
For now know that volcanoes are
caused only because, although the
earth looks very old on the surface,
It is seething underneath.

pathological unfortunates. mental
insists and really not responsible
for their misdeeds. is making a
farce OF law, order and justice,
When Judge William G. Baxter and
others advocated the whipping post
for some criminals he was but enun-
ciating a belief that others had ex-
pressed. The idea was attacked In
Hartford, and We presume that Is
what Judge Maltbe meant when he
referred to the gentlemen In the
sanctum sanctorum OF some Of our
leading newspapers" But the facts
are that the whipping post has been
quite successful in Delaware and Is
a successful institution N England,
There Is no sound reason for be-
lieving that states and countries
which coddle criminals are using
more intelligence than those that do
not, nor that they are more ad-
vanced In their methods Of combat
ting crime. AS q matter OF fact, 20
lashes and then freedom for certain
types OF criminals will reform them
quicker than the entire army Of
pseudo-prison reformers will ever
succeed In doing. And the reforma-
ton isn't hard on the wives, chill
dren and relatives of the reformed
person.
Judge Alling's warning to youth
was opportune. 1t has been the
custom here, like elsewhere, TO re-
gard a youthful lawbreaker with
gobs OF sympathy. Yet most OF our
crimes seem to be committed by
youths, and in New York an as

been unearthed, all Of them young,

FORAGE CROP FOR YOUNG PIGS
Rape is Considered by Experiment
Station to be Among the Best

Forage crops are important from
the standpoint of an economical
source of feed during the growing
season, as we'll as furnishing food
nutrients necessary for the proper
growth and development of young
pigs. Forage crops, especially the
legumes contain a large per cent of
protein and mineral matter. Protein
and mineral matter are absolutely es-
sential for the proper growth and de-
velopment of pigs, and forage crops
supply these essential nutrients very
economically. The high prices of
feeds have made it necessary to use
feeds that can be cheaply grown in
order to make profit from pork pro-
duction. According to A. E. Temhave
Animal Husbandman of the Univers-
ity of Delaware Experiment Station,
forage crops have helped to solve the
problem Of high feed costs, in that
they can be economically grown if
properly selected and produce eco
nomical gains. Of course some grain
must be fed to pigs on forage if prop
er growth is to be made, but the
amount of grain saved will be consid-
cradle. The amount of concentrates
fed should depend upon the price of
concentrates, time when pigs are to
be marketed and upon the quality and
abundance of forage. Besides making
cheap gains on forage crops, pigs that
are thus managed are kept in more
healthful, thrifty condition than those
raised in the dry lot The most i'm
portant crops that are adaptable to
Delaware are rape, alfalfa, red clover
soy beans, cow peas, and rye. One
should be able to select a forage
from among this group which is
adapted to his particular locality. The
most important forage and the one
most generally used is rape. 1t is un.
surpassed on account of its quick
growing ability, succulent character
heavy yield and high protein content
Under favorable conditions it can be
grazed six weeks after it is sown, anC
if not too heavily grazed will provide
forage thruout the summer. It car
be sown in the spring as early as tht
ground can be worked, or any time
during the spring or early summer
Rape can be either broadcast or drill
ed in rows. If the ground is fire,
from weeds, broad-casting is the prac
tice generally followed. If drilled il
rows, the rows should be 24-3O inche
