MEDITATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland
SPRING MOONINGs

SPRING MOONINGS
Love:-"Just a little bit of
heaven"-and long stretch of
purgatory.
A woman's ideal man is one
with a strong dominating person
atty, that can be wound right
around her little finger.
At twenty, a man is cynical
because he can't find the moon;
at forty. he is sad, because he
has lost all interest in hunting
for the moon.
The only things less convincing
than the standardized alibis a
man offers a woman, are the
bright, original ones that he in.
vents himself.
To a normal woman, black
band on a handsome mans coat
sleeve looks just like a call to
arms.
When a man falls in love at
first sight, 1t is not with the wo-
man, but with her inaccessibility,
the romantic setting, or the nov
city of the situation. That is
why he so often wakes up in the
cold north light of matrimony, to
find himself tied for life to
total stranger.
When it comes to discovering
brilliant talents and hidden vir-
tues in a man with a good pro-
file or well-set shoulders. the aver
age woman is perfect little
Christopher Columbus.
The main cause of stepping"
husbands is not so much the
dare in other women's eyes as the
"Don't-you.dare!" in the wife's
eye.
Modernism: Hiring a man to
NOW the lawn and spade the
garden so that father will have
time to use the vibrator to take
off his weight.
Apparently, the younger genera
ton is merely trying to beat the.
engine to the crossing.

started to expose this new
tangled, child-parent nonsense, the
lady continues to make whoopee.
BE A PAL TO YOUR CHILD
cry modern sentimentalists.
Pal? Pooh! 1t can't be done!
Act your age!" responds Mrs.
Baljwin-or snorts to that ef-
feet.
II have no great modern de.
sire to be pals with my chill
dren," says she. II do not want
my daughter to consider me as
a sister; nor do l wish my sons
to look upon me as their best
girl. Such viewpoints appear to
me strained and unnatural, and
I, for one, would be most uncom-
Portable were I placed in such
situation.
"I prefer to choose my pals
and my sisters and my boy
friends from the adults of my
own generation. This business of
women gushingly and sweetly ooo-
ing, I am my little girls best
friend and my big boys conf
dant-they tell me everything

"The relationship itself, the diff

the difference in ambitions and

I and my child are two different
persons. I have as much right to
my own life as my child has to
his or hers.
This undignified scramble to
identify oneself with the genera.

inapt and unintelligent, impossible
and a little absurd"

PARIS, Dec. 5-R-Ford Is in

Such was the information whis-
pered in alarm Or shouted with glee
along the bright lights Of Paris, ac-
cording to whether the informant
belonged to the auto manufacturing
or auto purchasing category Of Par
iSians.
The launching Of the Ford French
company stock on the market caused
a furry in the automobile world, but
the announcement that Ford had
bought one Of the busiest and most
centrally situated corners on the
Boulevard des Italiens, two blocks
from the Opera, has made the boul-
evards sit upand take notice.
The price paid was 100000 for
the site and Eord's plans call for
the expenditure OF 100000 to erect
a six-story building To be used 81
show rooms and offices.
The fact that the new Ford place
Is one block from the Paramount
theater and headquarters are caus-
ing old boulevardlers to shake their
heads sadly and say:

Modern Ark Built
For Georgia Flood

fore the flood waters came, Noah
built an ark.
When heavy rains began falling
here in early fall, A. B. Higgins,
Salvation Army adjutant, ordered
a supply Of lumber and built a big
flat bottomed boat.
Friends laughed at him. Then
additional rains fell on the water
shed and flood waters spread over
the lower part Of Augusta. And the
modern Noah. with his ark already
built, was u~nworried. while some
others failed TO enjoy the same ease
OF mind.
As long as the flood waters were

Give breeding birds a good rest
after the molt and do not force egg
production during the winter. Keep
them on what is practically a main
tenance ration-a good laying ration
with the protein bearing foods such
as meat scraps that are reduced in
quantity and green foods. Rely
mostly on hard grains we'll buried in
litter so they will have to scratch
for it.
AS the breeding season approaches
gradually go back to laying ration
by increasing from time to time the
quantities of protein bearing mater
ials which constitute a considerable
part of mash feeds. Be content with
a fair normal yield from breeders
that are never forced and you are
most likely to get eggs of high
quality for Matching.
Keep plenty of water, grit, char
coal and she'll before your breeders
at all times.
Feed breeding birds literally, but
do not overfeed so they become fat
and lazy. Keep feeding down to
what you can see keeps the fowls in
good physical condition and pro-
notes normal egg yield.
AS a further guard against exces-
sive fat as we'll as to insure neces-
sary health and vigor, give your
breeders plenty of exercise. Give
them run of unrestricted range if
possible, preferably where there is
some form of green feed. Such a
range also affords the opportunity
to pick up bugs, worms and similar
natural food materials which re-
quire exercise to get them.
See that houses are always well
ventilated, clean and sanitary. Dis
infect frequently with good Dip &
Disinfectant, to keep down lice,
mites and disease germs. Remove
droppings frequently and change
litter often.
AS for the type of house best
suited for breeders, no special type
is required. Any good house of the
open front type that is weathertight
and free from drafts or dampness
will serve the purpose. Allow each
bird at least 5 square feet of floor
space and would prefer 10 or more.
Better too much space than too
little. =,
In extremely cold weather, guard
against frozen combs and wattles.
ADEQUATE feeding is one precaution
as properly fed birds have greater
stamina. 1t is also necessary in un-
usually cold weather to have cur
tains over the front opening OF
houses; also to drop curtains before
the roosts. In the case of males u
is sometimes even desirable to put
them in separate boxes or coops
covered with burlap, since their
large combs and wattles are more
likely to freeze than those OF the
hen.
While it would be possible to clad
orate considerably on the foregoing
suggestions believe that enough IN
formation has been given to guide
any intelligent poultry raiser who
wants to get better results from his
flock. ,oo

snail give briefly some of tba most
important points to be observed in
the care of breeders. "
eAs the first step working Howard

naturally select only such birds as
are most likely to transmit these de-
saraole qualities. They should lbe one
year old or over, and of good size
you will choose only yourI finest

vlgor, perfect health, good ihdiviI-
caI records, and desirable apIcestrv
breeders must be PROPERLY fed
Roused and cared for if they Tare IN
provide eggs of sufficiently hikh fer
tility. Aei-
ro: 'ne least important con Eidera-
t1on is proper feeding. AS eyle-vone
knows, chickens can be fed certain
materials in such proportions as IN
force relatively high yield of eggs
This should not be done with ibreed-
ers' What is wanted is uuaIiAv-no+
quantity. During the breeding sea-
son, you want as many LARGE ner-
feet, fertile Matching eggs ais pos-
s1ble, eggs from which will come
strong, vigorous chicks that will
i've, thrive and grow rapidIy.I IF the
breeding female is forced during the
winter, she may come into theI breed
ing season in a weakened condition
so that her eggs will lack fertility
and vitality.
