s ne Onr Chickens

THE greatest of industrial problems
that are pressing is control of the
so-caled fowl pest" We have lately ac-
quired from abroad another calamity in
the form of disease of chickens that will
wipe out the poultry business, If not
checked Think minute about the hum
dreds of millions represented by poultry
and the Importance of eggs and poultry
as food and you will recognize this new
pests possibilities rs among the most
serious that could threaten the country.
Take eggs out of the menu, eliminate
eggs and chicken from the ability OF the
poor To feed themselves, and you can
readily vision a loss tremendous and wide
spread,
To date the experts know nothing
about this pest save It's fatal effects, and
are relying upon quarantine and en-
barge against infected sections, and the
bureau of animal industry has some
100000 with which TO combat con-
tamination, but the fight to eradicate
this pest and bar the country against
its re-entry should be made promptly
and regardless of cost 1t is TO be hoped
that the scientists, instead of laboring to
prove that we are descended from
monkeys, will focus their brains on saw
ing our chickens.

A Greater NeW York

NEW YORK engineers picture the me-
IN tropolis as city with pedestrian
traffic on a different level from vehicle
traffic, with bridges crossing all streets.
rail cars underground, and the present
streets devoted solely to auto traffic.
A miracle city, to cost a miraculous
price. But not an impossibility, since
New York necessity seems to know no
law or limit. Pedestrians rushing along
on high trains rushing along UNDER
ground and autos rushing along the sur
face streets. Wonderful, But would il be
any more wonderful than the change in
New York during the past 100 years
And century is but gasp in the rush
of human life.

What made him grow beyond average

endocrine glands When these glands are
thoroughly understood, it may be possi-
BILE for medical scientists to make people
as fat thin, tall, short or strong as they

All inventors have the imagination of
poets, Edison suggests. He adds: TO be

Success requires the ability to dream and
the power to make the dream come true.
Imagination is any mans greatest asset
