THE NEW KIND OF PICNIC

"The passing of the Old-fashioned
basket picnic is viewed by old-tim-
ers with regret" says a writer IN
the July number of the Outdoors
Pictorial Washington. "Time was
when the picnic was the faVorlte
means of celebrating family reun-
ions and of providing an outing for
the office force, the club or any
other organization with which one
was affiliated. The annual Sunday
school picnic was, of course, newt
able. as were innumerable other
picnics for special occasions. The
picnic was the 'get-to-gether' meet
ing par excellence of two decades
ago.
"But the basket picnic is becom-
ing as rare as the horse and buggy
no longer to be found except in
rural districts-and even there with
less and less frequency.
''Yet the waning popularity of
this mode of entertainment is not
regarded as an unmitigated calam-
ity by the mother who spent the
preceding day in the kitchen. The
untold quantities Of sandwiches or
salad which she made usually turn
ed out to be inadequate for the I'M
predictably large gathering and
caused whispers among the neigh
Dor women as to her stinginess. Or
her estimate would prove to be too
great and the food would either be

wasted with many twinges of the
thrifty housewives conscience or
would be brought home to be con-
sumed. Then no one ever wanted
to look at another sandwich or
plate of salad so long as he lived.
The once popular saying more fun
than a picnic" was never originated
by the woman who spent hot sum-
mer morning tending an oven full
of cakes which didn't turn out as
well as those of Mrs. B., who, after
all, was supposed to have brought
fried chicken. Mother usually
started on the outing exhausted.
There was difficulty in getting the
crowd to agree on the ideal picnic
spot and always some misunder-
standing as to how to get there in
which part of the crowd arrived
just in time for the ice cream. No
picnic was complete without a few
minor casualties, such as lost chill
dren, a fan in the creek, 3higgers,
snagged silk stockings and grass
stains. Then, there was an unbe-
lievable amount Of litter to be clear
ed up by the conscientious. And on
the way home most of the party suf-

The noted lighthouse, after with
standing the buffet Of many fierce
storms for nearly two centuries is
trembling, almost within reach of
the hungry nav of dancing waters.
If not protected by adequate de-
fenses, it's firm foundations will be
disintegrated by unsympathetic
waves and the towering structure
will topple into the sea.
This should not be. Cape Henlop-
en- Light is too fine a landmark, i'm
bued with too many hallowed and
patriotic associations, to be allowed
to disappear in disgrace. It should
be protected so that it may remain
an enduring relic Of the past for
centuries to come.
In 1886 the keeper Of this light
wrote to Benjamin Franklin that the
next northeaster would end its ca
reer. The next northeaster came, but
was so soon followed by southeas-
ter that the latter swept up such a
bulwark of sand around the old
landmark that it was able to stand
for many years without threat of
demolition hanging over it.
Some years ago the federal gov
ernment prepared for emergency by
erecting another lighthouse on a
secure location close by. The old
light was extinguished and the new
light placed in service for the first
time about October 1, 1924.
The new light, which will be of a
temporary character, and not visible
as many miles as the old light, is
Ill feet above the water and 6S feet
above the ground. 1t is built on a
pyramidal skeleton tower, with a
Slated daymark. The light is fixed
white, with a red sector, between
1S1 degrees and 174 degrees, cover
ing the Harbor of Refuge and Brown
Shoal. The white light is $50 can
dlepower and the red light 1SO can
dlepoWer.
But it should not be permitted to
go to destruction. Sentiment and
tradition demand it's preservation.
It's light has been kept burning con-
tinuously since the revolution. Faith
full reproductions of the old house
are in existence in the form Of ad-
mirable paintings by Stanley M. Ar
thurs, but the house itself should
remain. An unsympathetic govern
ment will do nothing, but the people
of Delaware should act.
Cape Henlopen Light is one Of the
striking attractions of the Atlantic
coast. Stately and imposing, its
towering form has stood out in bold
relief, an assurance to mariners by
day and protection at night. Every
citizen should do all in his power to
provide for its salvation.

IMPROVEMENT IN THE HOG
AND BEEF CATTLE INDUSTRY

The hog men and beef cattle
feeders are working under improved
conditions. The price level of
farm products including live stock
for the first time in several years
recently reached the average price
level of all commodities. 1t should
be borne in mind that in the hog
OF beef cattle business, as with any
other business, some men will al
ways be more successful than
others.
There was a decrease in the num-
Der of hogs on farms at the begin
ming of the present year as com
pared with the year previous. The
low prices received for pork during
the years following the war de-
creased hog production and this is
one of the factors that is resulting
in a very favorable market. The
average price Of hogs has been
about SIS higher per hundred weight
than a year ago. Supplies Of hog
products at the leading western
markets at the end of May were IA
per cent less than a year ago with
the demand strong. 1t is interest
ing to note that pork consumption
per person in the United States in
1924 exceeded that of any other re-
cent year with the exception of
1928.
The strong hog market tends to
react favOrably on prices being
paid for beef cattle. The average
price that has been paid per hun
dred weight for beef cattle is about
S1.5O higher than in January. 1t is
encouraging to know that feeders
of beef cattle made a nice profit
above the cost of feed on winter fed
steers that were secured in the fall
at right prices. The total number
of beef cattle on farms in January
was 5 per cent less than at the
same time a year previous, and the
number Of cattle being marketed |
has been less by about the same |
per cent. Estimated consumption of |
beef per person in the United |
States was greater in 1924 than for
several years.

A FABLE

A frog once sat beside Shiny pool
And watched a bird that flew from
tree to tree
Singing his tuneful song right mer-
rily.
And, being by this sight intrigued
to fly,
He slowly climbed into a tree near
by;
Then gave a doleful croak in lieu
of song
And launched into the air; but not
for long,
For being without skill in aviation
He fell upon the ground, croaking
in CONSERVATION.
A hungry crane who witnessed his
eclipse
Gobbled him down and smacked his
bony lips.
To any who afflicted are with vain
delusions,
Consider now this frog, and draw
your conclusions.
Bear this in mind; Advancement
worth the gaining
Is ne'er achieved without the prop
er training.
And by one prone to judge him
self to be quite clever
Promotion is not gained without
sincere endeavor.
First grow your wings, your hum
BILE duties master,
Twill later save you from confu-
si8n and disaster.

fered from acute Indigestion.
Still, with all it's imperfections,
the picnic had its points, chief of
which was that it got people out of
doors. True, the accompanying bed
lam left little of the peace dear to
the true nature lover.
"The modern successor to the old
fashioned picnic emDOdies all the
advantages with practically none of
the disadvantages. The family sim
ply decides at any time to take it's
supper out of doors, and, without
any great to do or very special prep
aration, piles whatever would ordi-
narily have been served at home in
to a basket and piles itself into the
flivver and betakes itself to the
nearest park or stretch of open
country. No extra work, no waste,
no indigestion, no confusion"

Ocean EncrOaches

ocean EncrOacueS
In 1860 the Cape HenlOpen light
house was one half mile from the
shore; that is, the ocean shore was
one mile nearer the light after nine
ty-four years. On reason Of the rap
id wearing away Of the ocean shore
is the position of the breakwater.
Before the breakwater was built
the ocean extended out from the
lighthouse and the point of the cape
was shorter than it is now. Since
the building of the breakwater the
point of the cape has been worn
away because of the direction into
which the current of the ocean was
forced to run. Before the break
water was constructed the ocean
waves came straight in upon the
beach with their force. After the
breakwater was built the current
outside the breakwater was forced
to come directly on the shore. This
force was the usual force of the
waves, plus the force of the water
driven off from coming into the bay.
The lighthouse at this time is char
ted at II miles, although popular
tradition credits it with greater
power.
The lamp of the Carcel pattern,
burns plain kerosene, which is va
porized under pressure and fed to an
incandescent mantle of special size
and construction. The light is sta
tionary and is obscured to make the
flash, by a screen which revOlves
about it. The solid portions of this
screen cut off the light for a time,
then as it revolves it let's the light
out again, so mariners can see it
palmer. This is regulated by clock
work. The light is more than $4,000
candle power.

IDEAL VILLAGE FOR

Spencer Manor, Mich, Being
 Developed to This End

San Francisco, April S.-No flap dowment fund with which to main tain Spencer Manor as the home of disabled and aged veterans, their widows and orphans, is contemplated by the National Veterans of Foreign Wars. .a.
 Spencer Manor, 472-acre tract of rolling country land near Eaton Rap ids, Mieh., and fronting for 6 mile on the placid Grand river, was the gift of Corey J. Spencer, wealthy clubman of Jackson, Mich, and a member of the order. "A village full of life, hope and happiness" is Mr. Spencer's idea of what Spencer Manor should be. The tract of land which he deeded to the organization lies between Jackson and Lansing and is of clay. loam. All but 100 acres of the soil is tillable.
 Giant trees, small brooks and springs and numerous glens add to the attractiveness of the site.
 It Is here the V. F. w., looking forward, hopes to see grow a village of neat little houses, with well kept gardens, a school for children and a place for Sabbath worship. A home rather than an institution" is the way officers of the organization out line the project. It is intended there shall be work for those who can work and comfort for those unable to labor.

SHIP WILL APPEAR 1 IN MOVING PICTURE
Fate Of Famous Old Barkentine
 Decided by Directors

Washington, D. G. April 3.--The sion into a motion picture ship will be the fate of the picturesque old barkentine. Narwhal, which for more than 40 years was conspicuous fin Pacific coast shipping. and whose romantic history over that period reads like the pages of old time fic- ton.
 The Narwhal, built at San Fran cisco in 1883, Is one of the finest examples afioat of sailing ship con- struction, in view of the shipping men. Immediately after her launch ing she was entered in the whaling industry, in which she remained for many years. During that time she established many records, both in whale catches and fast cruises. After leaving the pursuit of whales, the craft was used for a number of years in the trade to the South Seas
 The final voyage of the Narwhal ended last year when she crept into San Francisco harbor from an ex- petition to the South Seas. On her outbound trip from San Francisco, the barkentine disappeared for a period of 16 months and was re- corded as lost at sea. She later ap- peared at South Sea port. how eyer, bearing stories of terrific 'windstorms.
 Shortly after casting anchor at i. San Francisco the Narwhal was sold at auction to satisfy claims, and the motion picture interest that acquired the oldtime whaler will move her down the coast to San Pedro.

Road Mopes Are Ordered

Los Angeles April 3. - Conver- taxicabs are to be barred from cer- tain thoroughfares of the capital. There are so many public vehicles here with careful drivers, or mech anism so well worn that they can not keep pace with the modern car, that the matter has been called to the attention of Sir Henry Maybury as chief of London's traffic commit tee. The snail" taxis are all right for some of the oldest London in habitants, contend the committee members, but they must keep out of the way of the fast, up-to-date cars or else be arrested for holding up the traffic.
