A Fine Lad
Lennox Sheldon, at a little
past 10, was a subdued flame Of
a boy. He had broadened; he
carried his height we'll, has dark
hair was as rebellious as ever,
blue eyes looked out from under
heavy brows. He was still shy,
still withdrawn. He was we'll
liked at Columbia, and not well
understood. The boys had found
him Scribbling verse more than
once. They had laughed, but
were a little proud of him. He
had not proven much of an ath-
lete. yet was not too good stu
dent to annoy his friends. And
he was So-they couldn't find
the suitable word-wiStful, per-
haps, fitted best, yet it wasn't
as soft as that-so shyly eager,
then, to be good sport" He
seemed to feel a lack in him.
self; he listened to their SagaS
of roaring prowesS with a little
puzzled frown between his eyes.
He had a natural bent for
science, love of argument, of
discussion. He had even ap-
preached his mother on the sub
ject of his future-did she really
think he would do we'll in the
business? 1t ran itself, did it
not, with Simmons as nominal
head? But it was her business
really. He didn't think he'd be
any good in an office. Too
muddleheaded.
What did he want to do? she
had asked him. And he replied
stumblingly that he wasn't quite
sure as yet. Stay on, take de-
grees-something in the Scien-
tific line. He liked that.
"ThOse Young Folks"
Mrs. Sheldon smiled toler-
antly. Young people took no
tions. OF course he would go
into his fathers business the fall
after his graduation. Sons did.
It was expected of them.
His recreations were along
very usual lines. Dances, sum-
mer outings, all that sort of
thing. He was popular with
girls. he got on we'll with them;
mothers spoke of his beautiful
manners.
He l. "a red many cod
desses since the days of Sally
Morgan. but he had kissed the
hand where others kissed the
lips. Sally was quite lost to
him. She had gone to England
to live the year before he en-
tered college. An aunt had
taken her, after her mothers
death. She had been brought
out there, had married in her

the blonde curlS dancing on her
cheeks, the sweet mouth that
had kissed him.
He had widened his circle of
acquaintances, but Fred Van AL
Styne was still his closest friend.
Fred had elected for Columbia,
too, really because of Lennox'S
entering. Fred was an admir-
able blond giant, he was fear,
full and wonderful on the foot
ball field, he was merry and
gay-hearted. And he was unique
in that Mrs. Sheldon approved
of him.

And along with courtesy we
might as we'll underline a few
Of the graces of married life
reserve, delicacy, tenderness,
sentiment and the art of pay
ing an occasional compliment.
A letter from a correspondent
illustrates the first of these:
Dear Miss Fairfax:
1 thought our marriage was
going to be so different, but on
our honeymoon my husband re-
lapSed into selfish, domineer-
ing male, who threw all deli
cacy to the winds, and is more
callous than / could imagine
anyone being. My foolish little
attempts to keep a lover and
save a little romance for every
day life have been met with
ridicule and derision. 1 don't
see how 1 can keep on.
MARTHA.
The Only Hope
One can only hope that in
her disappointment and diSil-
lusionment things seem worse
to this young wife than they
really are. Here apparently is
man who gets a small boys
fun out of doing things that
shock and bewilder a sensitive
girl. The only excuse that can
be offered for him is that he is
so young, and so inexperienced
in the finer things of life, that
he doesn't understand he is
wrecking something that, once
gone is gone irretrievably.
Women are pathetically child
like about saving a little ro-
nance for the rainy day. They
never quite grow old-in their
hearts. They will live en- a
stray compliment for weeks.
That dress brings out the color
of your eyes, my dear" will send
them about the house singing,
even when they haven. had
new hat for two years and the
grocer has been phoning daily
about his bill.
Women have a weakness for
being regarded as perpetual
brides, with a brides craving
for admiration. Nor are women
alone in this weakness, if
weakness it be. More homes
are wrecked by lack of what
the deluded male regards as
appreciation" than by all the
other weapons in the sirens
arsenal.
The Saff of Life
The sad truth is that in our
present state of development
men and women cannot live
by bread alone. The staff of
life must be spread thick with
the butter of approval, and if
it isn't buttered at home the
buffers likely to be laid on
elsewhere.
The trouble with our dis
graceful record of one marriage
in every six going on the rocks
is that we don't stay married
long enough to discover the
real joy of permanent union.
The overwhelming percentage
OF failures in American mar
riages is part and parcel of
our national wastefulness. It
goes with our destruction of
natural resources, waste of
money and energy, and too
many foolish laws.
Happy marriages cannot be
bought over the counter like
stocks but they can be made
into the most beautiful and
lasting of human relationships
by the observance of a few
rules. and foremost among them
BE Courteous"-just old-fash-
loned politeness, and all the
arts and graces that go with it.

Chickens a Life Saver,

aged to reduce feed costs in his
flocks. ITO make money we had to
press down on feed COSTS" says
SweitZer. He believes the cost of
grinding grains for poultry is a
wasted expense. He feeds a free
choice ration with corn, wheat, ger
minated oats, meat scraps and
milk before the birds at all times.
Greens are supplied by cabbage and
apples and cod liver oil is fed In

CHAPTER w
The Actress,

a S A rule Edith hated Thursday.
4 \ 1t was Norma's afternoon and
evening out, and she and mother
had to cook the dinner and wash
up afterward.
But today they were making a
lark of it. Dad had telephoned
that he wouldn't be home to dinner,
so they'd had just what they liked ;
chicken salad and rolls and two
mince turnovers from the commu-
nifty kitchen, and cocoa that they'd
made at home.
They had a lot to talk about,
Edith did anyhow. She was full of

Scandal" They had been rehears-

her all to yourself, even since the
new change, back to more like his
old self, that had lately come over
dad. Dads conduct was still per
picking, but it didn't make her blue
any more. But of course her fears
and worries about him and mother
had been largely ignorance; the
idea that Mrs. Ingraham might be
going to have a baby, or that there
was anything queer and unnatural
about dad and mother sleeping in
dl1ferent rooms. Since an amazing
talk she had had with her science
teacher, speculations of that sort
mad been relegated to the world of
mere childish nonsense. Ed had
been right, of course, last summer
when he had told her she didn't
know what she was talking about.
She wished she'd believed him then.
What lot OF fun it was to act,
and how much more fun it was 60
ing to be when they really gave the
play in costume. Everybody agreed
she was going to make a perfectly
corking man. She thought she'd
like to be an actress.

POULTRY
"FNIS
FOOD OF QUALITY
FOR BREEDING HENS
Only Way to Get Best Eggs
and Healthy Chicks.

Poultry has suffered along with
other farm crops, but due to the
drop in feed prices in proportion to
the prices being received for eggs,
and because of the mild winter per-
mitting production to stay at level,
pOultrymen have been much encour-
aged to go ahead with their work"
says Roy S. Dearstyne, head of the
poultry department at North Caro-
lima state college. However, some
poultrymen have attempted to in
crease their margin of profit by de-
creasing the feeding or substituting
certain feeds which do not give as
good results. One of the main sub
stitutiOns being practiced is to use
vegetable protein feeds for animal
protein feeds. Soy bean meal and
peanut meal are good If used in
limited quantities, but they should
not entirely displace the animal
protein, especially when production
is heavy and the eggs are being used
for hatching.'
Any radical change from the usual
methods of feeding at this time is
likely to be reflected in the hatch
ability of the eggs or the INABILITY
of the chicks. Mr.. Dearstyne says.
The breeding hens should be fed so
that they will produce only the high
est quality of eggs.
Mr.. Dearstyne insists that green
feed, plenty of sunlight, an adequate
mineral supply and milk in some
form, should be fed the birds to
get the best eggs for producing
healthy chicks. If the breeding
birds are to be through a long lay
ing season and maintain body
weight, they must be fed balanced
ration. 1t is particularly unwise
to depend on grain feeds alone
without mash.
The Coolidge examiner., 1932-04-22
Heavy Layers

Hens have to meet a high stand
ard before they are used for breed
ing purposes at the United States
live stock experiment station at
Beltsville, Md. Poultry men of the
Department of Agriculture choose
breeding hens only from those which
produce at least 225 eggs in the
pullet years and whose eggs aver
age at least two ounces in weight.
They save only the chickens from
hens whose eggs are at least 20 per
cent hatchable. Pullets are not used
in the regular breeding pens.

Feed for Hen for Year

1t takes about 90 pounds of feed
to care for a Plymouth Rock hen
for year, according to the South
ern Agriculturist. When on range
on farm she should pick up ap-
prOximately one-third of this, which
means that one bushel of corn or
wheat or it's equivalent should take
care of hen for a year under such
circumstances. A Leghorn hen con-
sumes approximately 75 pounds of
feed a year, and she can get .along
on a little less than 60 pounds of
grain if on free range.

Need Cod Liver Oil

Poultry kept around cities where
smoke abOunds do not get sufficient
sunshine in winter time, and hence
col liver oil is necessary for them,
Prof. e. L. Dakan of the Ohio State
university says after testing out
several flocks. Two years ago he
fed all flocks without cod liver oil
except one, and that one pen laid
the most eggs. Next year he fed
cod liver oil to all fiocks, except one,
and that year this single pen with
out oil had the lowest production Of
all.-Ohio Farmer.

in a business way, Edward Patter-
son, cashier of the Chicago agency
of a life insurance company, is
wrongly suspected by his wife, Julia,
of infidelity. Her practical accusa-
tion, in a letter from a summer re-
sort, units him for business, and he
takes a short vacation. On his re-
turn his daughter, Edith, tells him
his personal belongings are in the
spare room," having been removed
from the room which had been his
and his wife's bedroom. Patterson
accepts the situation as proof of his
wife's belief in his guilt. Edith, sew
enteen years old, is worried over the
estrangement of her parents, having
little MORE than a dim comprehen-
sion of the affair. Her mother only
partly succeeds in her efforts to COM
fort her. The son, Edward, Junior,
is at college. A business matter
brings an inventor" James Mariner,
into Patterson's life. Mariner needs
$4,000. with which to push his in
vention, an automobile choke, and
Patterson is interested. After n
brief investigation he decides to go
in with Mariner, supplying the mon
ey and taking a part in the business
management.
