BRIG. GEN. HINES
SERVES35 YEARS;
GETS NO PENSION
WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR
PENSION DUE TO FACT
THAT HE LEFT SERVICE At
ONE PERIOD TEMPORARILY
By HERBERT PLUMMER

. WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-Amid
all the clamor which accompanied
the reduction in compensation to
veterans, nothing much was heard
of the plight of the man who,
since the Harding administration
has administered the affairs of the
veterans bureau.
Il During the past 10 years or so,
Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines has SUI
pervised the expenditure of around
So. 900. 100000 for pensions and
operating costs of Uncle Sans
agency to care for his ex-soldiers.
Yet when the general retires
shortly, as he is expected to do,
after 35 years of service in the
government he will not be eligible
for a pension.
OF course, in a technical sense
it's the generals own fault. I'M
mediately following the close Of
the world war, Hines was tempted
to quite the army and venture ont
on a private enterprise. He sur
rendered his rank as a brigadier
general to become vice president
of the Inflated Baltic steamship
lines.
His company soon encountered
bad luck. however. and he re-en-
tered government service as adj
ministrator of the veterans hu-
reau.
Relief Efforts Fail
In 1928 two bills were intro
dnced in congress looking toward
his relief. One would have retired
him with the rank of maior gem
eraI in recognition of his long serv-
ice, Another would have given
him an annual pension of $4,000,
Both failed Of passage,
Then again in 1890 his friends
in congress renewed their efforts.
A little different strategy was en-
ployed this time. A rider was at
tached to the veterans disability
allowance bill seeking a straight
S5,00 annual allowance. But this
also failed of passage.
Honor Not Voted
Back IN 1898 he enlisted as q
private in artillery for service in

ust I'm the midst of nu-
merous strikes and the great
national transition of indus
try, Pennsylvania has assign
ed to a woman the task of
guiding it's labor policies.
Strongly supported by both Gov.
and Mrs. Clifford Pinchot and in
close association with Francis Per-
kins, United States Secretary of
Labor, Miss Charlotte E. Carr
tackles confidently problems which
few of the men proceeding her
have encountered as state secre-
tary of labor and industry.
Strikes On Increase
Strikes were widespread and in
creasing when she became Penn
sylvania's first woman secretary
of labor. They had increased
500 percent for the second quarter
of 1888 as compared with the first.
The ranks of the unemployed were
swelled by thousands who had quit
their jobs and were clamoring for
more pay in the industrial centers
of Philadelphia, Reading, ScraR-
ton, Allentown and smaller COM
munities.
Previously a bureau chief in
both of Pinchot's terms as COVER
nor. Miss Carr was appointed sec
rotary when DR.. A. NJ. Northrup
resigned, charging Miss Carr was
agitating strikes. Without wait
ing for the resignation to become
effective the governor dismissed
Northrup and named Miss Carr
his successor.
competent" Says Pinchot
II have come to rely upon Miss
Carr for action and information
in matters connected with labor
and industry, for the very good
reason that she is competent in
such matters" Pinchot said.
Through Is years devoted to
institutional and industrial work,
Miss Carr has made faction and
information" her principal objec-
tives.
Just out of Vassar college in
1915, she obtained employment as
matron in an Ohio orphanage. She
received SIS month. Like many
young women, she kept a diary
and state officials paid her nearly
"a months salary SIS, for it. The
data it recorded were made the
basis of an investigation which re-
suited in improvement of condi-
tons in the orphanage and other
institutions in the state.
Exposed Sweat Shops
Quick to act, Miss Carr has
been credited by Governor Pinchot
with first revealing the sweatshop
conditions in Pennsylvania.
She advocates state mediation
in labor disputes and. with Gov
ernor Pinchot. established prece-
dent in quelling disorder in a

The new secretary says she will
enforce the labor laws. And
we mean it," she adds.
Elimination of 10000 children
from industry. all from Ii to is
years of age, is one of the goals
she seeks.

Fright Harms PulIets

The tanning and cOnpaniOnship
of the pullets is best accomplished
by the frequent inspection of the
pullets the first few weeks after
they are transferred to the laying
house. Inspection in itself may
mean only time wasted. What
really counts is how and what is
done. Too often a caretaker goes
bursting right into the laying house
without giving any warning. That
is the first thing to avoid. If the
pullets are to be protected against
needless fright some sort of warn
ing (the same each time) should
always be given before entering the
pen. A light knock on the door or
a thumb door latch can generally
be made to give the desired warn
ing. Then wait a few moments be-
fore opening the door and you will
find all the birds are standing at
attention awaiting and welcoming
your expected entrance without
any thought of fright. Emphasiz-
ing this simple precaution with
such detail may seem needless al.
though its Importance is unques-
tionable.-Farm Journal.

POULTRY
FACI1S
CALENDAR TO KEEP
TAB ON EGG YIELD
Complete Record of Produc-
ton Is Object.

Higher quality, which would
heighten the S30000000 value of
Illinois egg crop, will be brought
home to flock owners every month
of the coming year by means of the
new 1888 poultry calendar issued by
the extension service of the college
of agriculture, University of Illi-
nois.
A different phase Of quality egg
production, such as feeding for egg
quality and care of eggs during
warm weather, will be put before
flock owners each month by means
of the calendar.
Eggs are being bought on grade
in a number Of places in Illinois,
and the information contained in
the calendar should be of help to
farm flock owners in getting the
premium price paid for top grade
eggs, 1t was pointed out by H. FL.
Alp, poultry extension specialist,
who designed the calendar.
In addition to being an aid to
quality egg production. the calen-
dar Is a serviceable device designed
to help flock owners in more ac-
curate record keeping. BY means
of it the poultry raiser can tell
from day to day. week to week and
month to month just where he
stands. Without some such device
as the calendar, many flock owners
would not keep the records so nee
essary as guides to better methods,
Alp said.
The calendar is so arranged that
under each date there are spaces
to record the number of eggs, the
income and the expense for that
day. Spaces also are provided for
recording the weekly totals as well
as the monthly totals.

Beware the Cough or
Cold that Hangs On

Persistent coughs and colds lead to
serious trouble. You can stop them now
with Creomulsion, an emulsihed creosote
that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is
new medical discovery with twofold ac-
ton; it soothes and heals the infamed
membranes and inhibits germ growth.
Of all known drugs, creosote is recog-
nized by high medical authorities as one
of the greatest healing agencies for per-
sistent coughs and colds and other forms
of throat troubles. Creomulsion contains,
in addition to creosote, other healing ele-
ments which soothe and heal the infected
membranes and stop the irritation and in
fammation, while the creosote goes on to
the stomach, is absorbed into the blood,
attacks the seat of the trouble and checks
the growth of the germs.
Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory
in the treatment of persistent coughs and
colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and
other forms of respiratory diseases, and
is excellent for building up the system
after colds or flu. Money refunded if any
cough or cold, no matter of howlong stand.

Wyandotte Bantam Makes
Bow as Newest Variety

The newest thing In chickens is
the Wyandotte bantam, a small
chicken large enough to lay good
sized eggs and for the table. yet
small enough to fit into any town
or city dweller's back yard. What
will interest lot of folks is that
1t requires only about a third of the
food an ordinary sized hen eats.
AS the name implies, the Wyan-
dotte bantam is cross between the
Wyandotte and bantam. 1t was
originated in England. These new
chicks, shown at the twenty-fourth
annual exhibition of the Chicago
Coliseum Poultry Exposition asso-
citation, weigh from two to five and
a half pounds and lay eggs weigh
ing ii ounces to the dozen. Regu-
lar sized hen eggs weigh about "a

Worry and Trouble
BY DOUGLAS MALLOCH

I'VE seen a lot whose tuck was
L bad,
And heard about the loss they had
And others in the neighborhood
Who hadn't yet, but thought they
would.
The losers didn't seem so sad
That's what | never understood
The ones who hadn't lost a thing
Did mostly all the worrying.
The losers used to laugh and say,
We'll, that is over anyway.
Beyond a question or doubt.
And nothing more to fret about"
The ones who worried all the day,
The ones who looked all petered
out
Were those who ran ahead and met
Bad luck that hadn't happened yet.
II seems that way with all our
woe:
The ones who trouble really know
Don't worry much; but those who
fear
That things might maybe happen
here
(Although they may not happen sol
The worried seem, the sad ap-
pear
Though trouble is thing you see,
And worry only what may be.

Art in Selecting Eggs
for the Hatching Season

A warning to pOultrymen, urging
greater care in the selection of eggs
for Matching, was recently issued
by A. G. Smith, chief of the poultry
division of the department of agri-
culture, University of Minnesota. In
this warning Mr.. Smith laid down
certain rules to be observed. which
are timely now because the hatch
ing season Is rapidly approaching.
Mr.. Smiths rules for the selection
of eggs for Matching are summar-
lied as follows:
Eggs weighing less than two
ounces, tinted white, cracked, or
dirty eggs, and eggs which have
been held over one week. should
not be set; If brown eggs are used,
they should match as nearly as
possible In color.
Two reasons are given for these
rules. Those as to weight and col
or look to the production of eggs
such as the market pays most for,
and those as to cracked and dirty
eggs have to do with hatchability.
Mr.. Smith insists, also. that eggs
for Matching must not be chilled
and during freezing weather should
be collected hourly; that for keep
ing eggs, pending setting, tempera-
ture should be below 6S degrees,
and, better still, between so and 60
degrees.
