BLOOD TEST FOR CHICKENS

A blood serum test for chickens
suspected of being carriers" of the
oaccilary white diarrhea germ is
being urged by the Larrowe Instl-
ute of Animal Economics on poultry
,aisers who are experiencing high
mortality during the. early life of
iheir chicks. The agglutinatiOn test
will not only bring to light the in
,ected individuals in the flock, but
will also, by bringing about their re-

Reports reaching the Institute
from many sections of the East in

amount of baccilary white diarrhea

Viewpoint, this disease is probably

What makes it all the more difficult

In the Saturday Evening Post of
April "a, Owen D. Young outlines
the ideals and aims of the Walter
Hines Page School of Internationa
Relations which is being founded at
Johns Hopkins University, Balti-
more He says in part
"Once you arm the public with
facts, the area of each international
dispute nafrows down within limits
that readily suggest peaceful means
of settlement.
"a great reservoir of facts that
cause irritation between nations
could be assembled and placed at
the disposal of the public as well as
those who have to deal with those
problems in the administrative field
Il believe it is possible to estab
fish an institution for fact finding
There are no higher credentials thar
the truth Such school should
achieve three things:
Il. Develop science of inter,
national relations.
SO. Ascertain the facts so far as
they can be found in any particular
problem.
SO. Produce continually growing
body of men trained in that science
and available for service in the
fields of education, government and
business.
Eventually there should be al
least five. or six such schools, pre-
ferably 10 or II, in as many
different countries.
People infiamed by fear or in.
justice, no matter how groundless
their information, will still fight
even though they hate war. We
must have facts, localize the prob
lens, and solve them while they yei
remain in the narrow area of theil

WARES VICTORY IN PENN
SYT.VANTA

The Philadelphia Inquirer, in
commenting on VIM. S. Wares vic
tory as the U. S. Senatorial nominee
on the Republican ticket in the
Pennsylvania primaries last week
has the following to say :
Pursuit of phantom beer mug
coupled with the divided ranks OF
the opposition gave William S. Ware
his victory.
Mr.. Ware has insisted right along
that the issue was modification OF
the Volstead act and that the out
come of the campaign would be &
referendum on the subject. To q
large extent this is true, for surely
those who voted for him did SO, not
because of his qualifications for the
high office, but to indorse the cause
which he had made his own. Never
theless, this was not a true refer
endum. Doubtless many persons
with moist inclinations voted fol
Pepper or Pinchot because they
could not accept Mr.. Ware as
worthy representative of Pennsyl-
vania in the Senate. Here in Penn
sylvania the combined totals OF
Pepper and Pinchot geatly exceed
the Ware figures, hence the apostle
of modification is a minority candl
date and there is a large majority
in the State as a whole against
amendment, However, it was tho
beer mug, which Mr.. Ware is power
less to fill, that brought to his sup
port the tremendous following II

ers to interest the farm people of the
State in raising sufficient vegetables

20 women, most of whom used, can
ned. or stored the greater part OF
their products, had, nevertheless,
small surplus to dispose OF which
brought them a total cash income OF
S5.36S,6S. This was an average. or
S226.43, which, in many cases, was
enough to provide a years clothing
and other necessities for the wife
and children.
This income resulted from the
sale of butter, cheese, chickens eggs,
garden products, milk and cream.
It was earned after the well-being
of the family had been provided for
through growing the foods needed
for normal health and development.
Most of the products were sold at
roadside markets or to special
customers to whom the supplies were
delivered or who drove out for them.
Other women have made and sold
rugs, colonial mats, canned goods,
fancy aprons, homemade soap, and
other articles on a small scale.

women to improve and standardize

By Kirk Miller

Alter a four days stay in
Washington on the part of the
st. Louis Browns, it is per-
fectIy easy for Mr.. Average
Fan, and in yesterdays case
Mrs. Average Fan and Miss Fan
as well, to understand why the
Mound City team is ticketed fo-
nowhere in particular in the
American League race.
Washington took three straight
games from this sorry combina
ton of bali players, and three
was a time or two YESTERDAY
when it just seemed like the
visiting firemen were going TO
make us take the fourth.
1t is almost anybody's guess
what is wrong with the team
from beyond the Mississippi and
one speculation would be just
about as correct as another.
The team seems to lack every
thing that major league can
didate should have, including
color, pep, aggressiveness and
proper leadership.
An exception to the first
specification lies in the case of
Harry Rice who has proven in
Washington that he's just as
much of an infielder as he is an
outfielder and that he's a flashy
player in both capacities. Rice
is a sweet ball player to gaze
upon. Ken Williams and Baby
doll Jacobsen both lose brilliance
in the dull surroundings of the
remainder of the club.
And we do not mean to slight
George Sisler as a player when
we speak of poor leadership on
the Browns. If George had
