Saving the lives of young pigs is
simple in practice. The. farrowing pen
is thoroughly cleaned and scrubbed to
remove all eggs of the roundworm,. one
of the chief causes of death among
young pigs. The SOW is thoroughly
cleaned, a special effort being made
to remove all eggs from the udder.
Within 10 days after farrowing, the
SOW and pigs are removed to a field
sown to forage crops and not pastured
to swine since sown. The pigs are
provided with good supply of water
and shade and kept in this field for
at least four months, after which time
they are reasonably safe from severe

Wife COACHES
RADIO EXPERT
ON old. GLORY

NEW YORK, Sept. z Qp = Lloyd
Bertaud, who flashed Old Glory's
startling SOS call to an anxious world
from north Atlantic today, owed his
facility at the radio largely to his
young wife.
Spurred by the thought that "you
never can tell what is going to happen
on flight across the sea-" Mrs Ber-
taud had spent hours in helping her
husband master the intricacies of the
dot and dash method of communica-
ton.
In June, when it appeared that Ber-
taud would accompany Clarence D.
Chamberlin on the trans oceanic flight
of the Columbia Mrs. Bertaud, fear
full of the hazards of the Atlantic,
kept after him to learn radio broad
casting from a plane.
Night after night, while the Ber-
taudS were living at their hotel in
Garden City, Long Island, they spent
hours, learning the continental code
on an automatic sounder. The flier
saw little Importance in it all but
submitted to, his lessons. But Mrs.
Bertaud conceived plan to change
his attitude.
When they were in their suite, she
tapped out messages to him instead
of carrying on an oral conversation.
Bertaud thought it great joke. The
guests at the hotel, however, hearing
the continued tapping night after
night, did not think it was joke and
protested to the management. This
did not disturb Mrs. Bertaud, who con-
tinued her telegraphic conversations.
Bertaud had no other resource but to
learn the code so that he could un-
derstand her messages. AS a result,
the aviator became very proficient.
perhaps the radio Won't be needed, F"
Mrs. Bertaud told reporters before
leaving for Old Orchard, Me-, last
Saturday night to witness her hus-
bands departure on his trans Atlantic
aventure, "But I have always thought
it couldn't be dispensed with. I want
ed to hear from the plane -and you
never can tell what is going to happen
on q flight across the sea-"

Walter Hagen Shows
Valiant Defense OF
Western Golf Crown

CHICAGO, Sept. z, R)-Walter
Hagen today showed prodigious por-
tends of making a valient defense
OF his western open golf champ
1onship by scoring par 20 on the
number four course at Olympia
Fields in the final practice round
today after driving his automobile
nearly 300 miles from Detroit to
Chicago. The defending champion
barely missed a 68, losing one
stroke by driving into the creek on
the 14th hole and smearing a short
putt on the home green.
Par was broken by only one play

tice. AL Espinosa of Chicago, chalk
ing up a SO by virtue of q difficult
putt on the 18th green. Harry
Hampton of Memphis, however, play
ed the number one course in SO,
three under par for that links.
Other good scores on the fourth
course were a par 10 by Leo Diegel
and Bill Mehlhorn of Chicago.
The National open champion,
Tommy Armour, showed few signs
of adding the western title to the
Canadian open crown, for after go
ing out in four above par, he went
wild on the return journey and
took a bad As for an 50.
Other leaders did not do so well
except Johnny Farrell of New York

in a watery crash Immediately after
that message was sent? Or were they
floating in their rubber raft beside
the wreckage of their plane?
These things no man could tell
but every effort was made at once
to find out. The nearest ship of
ali those crossing the sea was the
Pennsylvania, Captain David w. Bone
commanding. It was 65 miles from
the estimated position of Old Glory
and turned at once to the rescue
under forced drafts. Other ships
turned also from their course to obey
the summons of the SOS, in accord
ance with the unwritten safety de-
vices.
The special dump valve in the gaSo-
line tank was made to drop the
whole load in As seconds The col.
lapsible rubber raft with its supply

But though hope lived it was not

after SOS had been given.
Fokker expressed the opinion that
engine trouble must have been the
cause of the disaster and said this
danger would always remain in over
water flights with single engined
plane.
But others were more inclined to
lay the blame on the goddess known
as fate, the goddess to whom Bertaud
and Hill turned for a decision in their
last moment on the ground
There had been considerable dis
cussion as to which of the pilots
should take the heavy plane up from
The beach, the take off being con-
sidered in advance as probably the
most dangerous moment of the whole
flight. In the end it was decided,
as if by tacit agreement, that their
lives hung to a great extent on
chance, to leave the matter to luck.
A coin was spun and Hill won the
honor of the dangerous take eff. He
accomplished the feat without mis-
hap, the ship taking the air at 1928

take up the protest, which charged
nownlan with gross abuse" of his
federal office and asked if the Secre-
tarys endorsed "the action of your
subordinate"
'.If quoted correctly in the press
Mr.. Lownlan took advantage of his
position as a federal officer TO make
a political speech which was an insult
not only to Gov. Smith, but also
to the people of New York state, .
Boylan said. 81 refer to his assertion
that the repeal of the state enforce

enforce the dry law in New York
In making this statement Mr.. Low
man is entirely mistaken.
''The people clearly showed their

Alfred E. Smith governor for tine
fourth time, and at the same election
they administered an Overwhelming
defeat to MIR. Lowman, who was a
candidate for lieutenant governor of
