Hens will lay all the better for.their

They get loads of seeds and bugs out

plenty of sunshine and fresh air, just
as human beings demand-warm
floors, good fires. and every door and
window of our homes an venue OF
light and fresh air, giving health and
enjoyment to every member and Wis
itor. No barred doors o plugged up
windows. We do not want stoves nOs
fires in our poultry houses unless we
have a tender combed variety and
then only IN excessively cold weather.

4 a MANAGEMENT
Fundamental Principles of the Bust
mesa Of Farming Stated by Gov
eminent Specialists

E0NNAGttN<AANAA
ness Of Farming Stated by Gov
eminent Specialists
Certain fundamental principles OF
farm management are advanced by
specialists of the department as hay-
ing been brought out or substantiated
by a thorough agricultural survey OF
an old and representative farming sec
ton Of Chester County. Pa. These
principles r summarized as follows
Farming conforms to local soil, eli
mate, labor, and market conditions as
well as to the business conditions OF
the individual farm.
When conditions remain unchanged
for a long time, farming becomes ap-
proximately what it ought to be to get
the best results, provided that prac-
tice which is Immediately the most
profitable does not deplete soil fertil-
ity.
Success in farming measured in per
cent of profit on investment, does not
depend on the magnitude OF the farm
business, but measured in terms of the
standard of living of the farm family
1t is directly proportional to the mag
nitude of business.
Profits increase as yields per acre
increase until the yields are consider
ably above the average for the local
ity. but beyond this point increased
yields are obtained at a loss.
In quantity of product per dairy
COW the point of diminishing returns
is not reached in ordinary farm prac-
tice.
It is easier and more profitable to
increase low yields per acre than
high ones, and small product per COW
than large product. In other words
profits can be increased more easily
by attention to the weakest points In
a farming system.
There is a way of grouping the en-
terprises of a farm that is more prof
table than any other way; that Is,
there is a certain most profitable
acreage for each crop and a most prof
table proportion of income from any
one source.
Some enterprises such as poultry
keeping may easily be made profita-
Bile as side lines, yet are difficult to
make profitable when made a main
feature OF the farm business,
Production costs much more per
bushel or per ton on the small farm
than on the large farm OF the Same
type.
Diversity of business is an impcr-
tant factor of success on the average
farm. A moderate degree of diver
sity is better than either extreme.
These principles. together with the
figures which serve to establish them.

LISTENING CHILDREN

Some children are always listening
to what older people are saying.
think this is caused by the air OF
mystery often assumed when child
rem approach. Voices are lowered and
words spoken in whispers. This ex-
cites curiosity. If there were no mys-
terry, the children would just go on
playing their own games and not ev-
en- want to know what the grown peo-
pie were saying.
sLet's go and play" they would
say, and run away of their own &C
cord.
To say to children, you're not
wanted" is to make them wish to re-
main. If you hide behind secret
door. the children will at once seek to
enter.
We have no mysteries in our house,
except those delightful ones that go
with birthdays and Christmas time.
None of us ever say to a child, go
away. This is not fit for you to hear"
We wouldn't care ourselves to speak
of what is unfit for childish ears! A
mystery, to my mind, generally i'm
plies scandal, and have no desire to
listen to this at any time.
People tell children it is rude to
listen to what is not intended for
them. But do they set them good
example? In rural districts, have
heard mothers rebuke their children
for this fault, and the minute after,
they themselves were listening at the
telephone when the call was not for
them! The only way to teach small
children anything is by example, and
this applies as much to listening as
to anything else.
1 have seen mothers push their
children aside and say, 81 wish you
wouldn't always come where you are
not wanted" These children had fol-
lowed not with any idea Of wrong,
but because they wanted to be with
their mothers.
A child may listen because he is in
telligent and likes to learn about
things. It is of no use to say, "Run
away, you can't understand" Child
rem understand a great deal more
than we think they do. Their reason
ing powers are constantly growing
and before we realize it, these young
people may comprehend better than
we There is certainly no wrong in
listening if children do it openly. but
of course when they listen hiding be-

hind doors and curtains it becomes
serious fault.
In case of sickness, small child's
symptoms should never be discussed
near by in whisper. A child's hear
ing is generally very acute. Incal-
culable harm may be done if he hears
himself discussed. If you do not
want him to hear what you are say
ing, be careful to say it in another
room, we'll out of hearing. A word
caught, here and there, often does
more harm than a whole sentence.

CHARGE DISMISSED
Court Martial Acquits Him of Un-

By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. May 13.-Lieut. Comdr.
Earl P. Huff, Medical Corps, U. S. N.
attached to the submarine base at
New London, Conn, was acquitted by
a general court-martial sitting at the
Brooklyn navy yard yesterday of
conduct unbecoming an officer and a
gentleman" in connection with his
alleged failure to pay alimony to his
divorced wife since April, 1924, it
became known today.
While no official statement was
available, pending review of the case
by higher naval authority it is under
stood that the courts finding was in
fiuenced by the fact that Comdr. Huff
has brought action in Massachusetts
courts for reduction of his alimony,
fixed by decree in a California court
of December 26, 1922, at $145 a month,
in accordance with a written agree
ment made out of court settling
property rights between Comdr. and
Mrs. Huff. Comdr. Huff made pay
ments until April, 1924, the charges
showed.
Recent information from the Navy
Department indicated that consider
able correspondence had passed be-
tween Comdr. Huff and the depart
ment relative to his alleged failure to
meet his alimony payments, and that
Secretary of the Navy Wilbur had
admonished him that continued failure
would result in disciplinary measures.

TR|-COLOR LIGHTS
GOVERNING TRAFFIC
TO Be URGED HERE
MolIer Wants installation,
Probably on Avenue and
Sixteenth Street, in July.

Returning today from a tour of
Eastern cities, Col. l. c. Moller, en-
gineer in the traffic office, announced
lation of three-colored automatic sig
nal lights to bring about synchronized
traffic control in Washington
The first installations probably will
be made in July. Col Moller said, since
one of the traffic appropriations for
lighting devices must be expended by
July l. The amount that must be
spent Immediately is approximately
$4,000. The traffic director has an
other appropriation of more than
$4,000, to be used at any time during
the next fiscal year.
Two Tentative Locations.
While definite points have not been
announced, it is understood the traffic
officials are tentatively considering
Sixteenth street as far as Scott Circle
and Pennsylvania avenue within the
conSeSted area as two of the first To-
cations for the try-out Of synchronized
lights
Col. Moller said his recommends
ton will be that Washington use the
combination of red yellow and green
lights. All right and left hand turns
would be made only while the yellow
light is on.
1t is Col. Moller's intention to pre-
pare Immediately a plan for the
eventual installation of traffic signal
lights on all the main Travelled streets.
He explained, however, that carrying
out the plan be gradual, depending
upon the amount appropriated an
nually by Congress. The amount
now available, approximately $50, 900,
is only a small part of the cost of
installing the system generally, he
said.
Enthusiastic Over Plan.
The traffic engineer returned to
Washington enthusiastic over the re-
suits obtained with synchronized
lights in the cities he visited, which
included Philadelphia, Wilkes Barre,
Syracuse; Boston, Lynn and New
York.
Il was especially impressed by the
situation in Syracuse, where they have
a most comprehensive system of auto
matte lights" Col. Moller said. THAT
city does not have a law requiring
pedestrians to obey the traffic lights,
but you rarely see pedestrian walk
