LONDON, July ] I This is the
story Of how Alfred F'rieda, 1s-year-
old son of George F'rieda, Fleet
Street barber, achieved fame as a

months work.
An apprentice in his fathers bar
ber's shop, Alfred at first only prac-
tfced his art on the assistants in
the shop, until one day, becoming
comparatively facile in his work,
the elder Frieda told him he might
practice on a customer.
The regulars Mt the shop knew
the boy was only a learner. and 10
for some weeks Alfred was forced
to continue his experiments on the
assistants.
Then one day a man with q
genial smiling face and a fine ex-
panse of shaving. surface walked
in. Papa Frieda did not hesitate a
second. you're next, SIR he said,
and to Alfred, Shave this gentle
man"
Alfred was delighted, and per-
formed such good job that the
stranger came in again and again,
always asking to be shaved by
Alfred.
Then one morning the elder
Frieda happened to glance at an
illustrated newspaper. Calling AL
fred, he exclaimed excitedly, do
YOU recognize this gentleman" Al.
fred beamed. Yes" he said,
That's the gentleman n. with the fine
face that let's me practice on him. -

ASSERTS CHIPMUNK

Forest Official Tells of AMI

Palmer Lake, Colo.-Assistant Super.
visor Fl. D. Petheram Of the Pile Ma
tional forest has been accused OF
spreading a Rudyard Kipling nature
story among his friends.
Despite reiteration that his story
of mother chipmunk's gratitude is
true, Petheram has met skepticism
wherever his tale has been told.
The supervisor found baby chip.

of his jaunts through the forest. He
brought it back to camp and protect
ed 1t against the cold by wrapping it
in an old wooden sock with a large
hole in the toe.
A week of feasting on honey made
the baby chipmunk fat and lively. It
slept warmly each night in the old
sock, its nose protruding from the
hole in the toe.
The mother. chipmunk found her
baby two weeks after Petheram had
brought it to his quarters, and the
two departed for the forests together.
Petheram watched them go rather
sadly. He picked up the old sock that
had been the chipmunk's home to
throw 1t away and found that the hole
in the toe had been crudely darned
with pine needles and moss. The
patch was constructed birds nest

Belgian Hens Do Part
Toward Sterilization

Brussels Statisticians reveal that
24,000,000 hens cackle in Belgium to-
day, as compared with only 100000
in 1914. No other Belgian industry
having doubled since prewar days,
credit must be given to Belgium's hens
for being unusually active and prolific.
Belgian hens, it is averred, have done
their share in stabilizing the franc and
improving the Kingdoms trade balance
since Belgium now exports 6OOO0O,OOO
eggs a year, instead of importing 3d.
100000 as before the World war.
Belgian hens lay eggs scientifically
these days. Their greater output is
put on the account Of rational feed
ing, fights against epidemics, and Sc
lection of the best poultry races. The
very weight of the eggs has increased
that way; prewar egg weighed no
more than SO grams; the modern, sci
entific egg in Belgium weighs from
60 to 10 grams. Egg preservation by
cold storage or chemical means has
made great progress, too, particularly
in the Flanders country around Cour-
trai, where q single plant kept 15,O0O,-
600 eggs last winter. Most of the eggs
go to England.

Girls little Home"
Would Just Suit Hin,

At a New York dinner, Mary Kellogg,
the sociological authority, said: "Time
was when woman only worked when
necessity demanded. Man was looked
upon as the provider and only when
he failed did the woman essay to fill
his shoes. The vote, and other things
have changed that and now the ma
jority of women work from preference
rather than necessity.
"But is the pendulum swinging to
the other extreme? Is man beginning
to lay down his responsibility as the
major provider? Only the other day
as / walked in Central park heard
a young lady coo, I'D love to have
little home of my own'
