Expenditures for public education
in Basel, Switzerland, a city which
constitutes a canton in itself, were
1O,636,61O francs in 1924, or about
$2,00O,O00. The population is only
1854, and the expense of educa-
tion amounts to an annual tax of
more than $14 upon every inhabitant
of the city-Calvin M. Hitch, Amer
lean consul.
A trade school of masonry, stone
cutting, and reinforced concrete has
been established in Paris which pro-
vides students with sleeping quarters
at a franc a night and meals at 31a
francs each. Payment is made also
for student labor. Testing labOratOr-
les, drafting rooms, machinery, an3
space for the practice of each trade
are provided.
New students are photographed
upon registration at Pennsylvania
State College. Under the plan inau-

made. One of these will be attached

others are for use of the college

WHAT FARMERS EAT

Various interesting conclusions
have been drawn from a recent
study of food consumption by farm
families, made by the Bureau Of
Home Economics of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
This study was part of standard
of living study for which figures
were collected from 1881 farm fam
lilies in four States-Kansas, Ohio,
Missouri, and Kentucky.
Kentucky and Missouri led in the
consumption of pork, bacon, lard,
mOlasses, and corn meaI-fOOds
which usually play an important
part in the southern diet. Beef,
potatoes. dried fruits, beans and
peas were used in larger quantities
on the farms of Kansas and Ohio.
Milk, cream, eggs and poultry were
consumed in larger quantities in
Missouri and Kansas. Ohio and
Missouri led in the consumption of
purchased bread, but when bread is
expressed as equivalent flour, the
wheat consumption in the four
States was similar Fresh vege-
tables and fruits were consumed in
larger quantities in Missouri and
Ohio than in Kansas and Kentucky.
On the whole, the diet of the farm
families studied was nourishing and
abundant. The chief lack was in
the proportion of fruits and vege-
tables to other important foods.
Foods furnished by the farm
were valued at fair price, some
what between what would have been
received had they been sold and
what would have been paid had they
been purchased locally. On this
basis it was found that 40 per cent
of the average value of all the farm
familyS living was represented by
food, One-third of which was pur-
chased. The total cost of food per
man per year varied in the different
States. 1t averaged STAT per adult
male unit in the States studied.
This means the cost of the food
consumed by tie average moderate
ly active man. The proportions
spent for the various food groups
are: % per cent for meat, eggs, and
cheese; 10 per cent for milk and
cream; 12 per cent for fatty foods;
19 per cent for fruits and vegeta-
bles; 10 per cent for cereals; and
II per cent for other foods. The
largest proportion of purchased
food was in Ohio, SO per cent. In
Kansas it was 36 per cent, in Ken
lucky 20, and in Missouri q per
cent. Food furnished by the farm
thus amounted to go or IS per cent
of all food consumed.

THE WAY TO TRY
Viola WoodVille

A shrill whistle sounded outside
the house, followed by two more OF
shorter length.
That's Jasper Heath. He wants
me to play hand ball, Mother" ex-
planned Paul Winter, jumping from
the sofa where he had been curled
reading "The Mysterious Island.
MAY 1 go?"
Put your book on the table, dear, "
reminded Mrs. Winter, nodding yes"
to his request.
f auI gathered it up from under the
sofa, and throwing it on the table,
began looking for his cap. Finally he
found it on the piano. Next - the
hand ball.
Mother, where is it? Jas won't
wait"
Then maybe you will learn to put
things away, Son, with few disap-
pointments. What did you tell me the
last time 1 asked you to be more Or
derly?"
Il said I'd try" hurriedly called
back Paul, having found the ball un-
der the radiator where 1t had rolled
when he was teasing the cat.
1t was an hour later that Mr.. Win
ter came in.
Lefty" he said to his wife, Il
don't know what to do. l must get
the message L spoke Of to the city.
My client has no telephone, and l
can't leave the Office long enough to
make the trip"
The Winters lived in small town
and Mr.. Winters Office was in his
own yard.
Why not send Paul?'
But could he make such trip?'
Yes, indeed. know where he is
and will call him."
Much relieved, the father went
back to his office. Paul was not far
away and came at once at his >moth-
er's call.
do you think you could go to the
city, with message? Your father
needs a reliable boy to deliver it
promptly"
Certainly, Mother. If hurry 1
can get that five o'clock car" he ad-
ded after consulting a time table.
MAY 1 have your communication tic
ket?"
His mother handed him the ticket
and he ran to his fathers office for
directions.
The errand was not simple one.
The address was hard to find and
since Paul seldom went to the city
alone it was only by asking questions
of the right persons that he finally
found it. But the errand was prop
erly done and Paul was at home in
good time, much to his fathers
satisfaction.
paul, Son." said his mother that
night as he was going to bed, "the
only I'll try that counts is the Ger
tainly' kind. Suppose that when
asked you if you could go to the city
for Father, you had said merely, I'll
try and then had done nothing more
about it. But you looked up the
time that the train leaves, got the
ticket from me, went to Father for
instructions, boarded the train, and
transacted the business in proper
style"
''I see the point, Mother" laughed
Paul. "Certainly-sure thing. Every
thing in it's place. You'll see, Moth

The Atlantic Coast Line Railroad
has three trains leaving Norfolk
each day for the south, connecting
with its main line at Rocky Mount,
North Carolina, with through line
sleeping cars from Norfolk. The
Pennsylvania Railroad places two
trains at Cape Charles which con-
meet with the Atlantic Coast Line at

arriving in Norfolk at 1920 P. NJ. for
departure at A. NJ. the following
morning; the Norfolk express arriv-
ing at $3.50 A. NJ. for departure on
the Coast Line either at 1850 A. NJ.
or 6 P. NJ. of the same day. These
connections are made for the use of
people in the Del-Mar-Va Peninsula
who travel southwark, and also for
people from the north who desire to
break their trip southwark with a
short ferry trip.

The Bartus Trew farm in Quaker
Neck, five miles from Chestertown,

State. The property is ideally To-
Gated on Landlords Bay, an arm of

cts, sedge fields, and marsh land
make up this territory which will be
used for the propagation of all kinds
of game.

SOME WEATHER PROVERBS

"Mackerel scales and mares tails

"Mackerel scales and mares tails
Make lofty ships carry low sails. "
Certain conditions of the atmos-

of special sorts which have so long
been recognized as accompanying
definite weather conditions that they
have become proverbial. Not all wea-
ther proverbs are founded on or sup
ported by scientific fact, but many
of those giving forewarning of storm
conditions have stood the test of
time, according to the Weather Bur-
eau of the United States Department

| ferent flecking of small clouds high
in the atmosphere. Either of these
cloud formations consists of high,
thin, wispy cirrus clouds that float
from 5 to miles above sea level.
Part of the air that forms the up
ward currents in the forward por-
ton of a general or cyclonic storm
rises to great heights, where in mid
die latitudes it gets into the swift
eastward moving winds that carry it
and its ice particles far ahead of the
rains. There are also other ways by
which this kind of cloud is formed,
but since the way just explained is
very common, and the cirrus thus
produced only the forerunner of a
storm that is coming in the same
general direction, the proverb usual
ly may be trusted, and stormy condi-
