other became Larue.
In Baltimore not long ago were two
brothers, one Of whom retained the Ger
man name of Zimmerman, while the
other translated it to Carpenter.
This business Of translating names
sometimes has led to some queer de-
rivation. There Is story, told with
variations, about Scott named Feyers-
ton who came to America and settled
in a German colony in upstate New
York many years ago. The German
twisted Feyerston into Feuerstein, liter
ally Firestone, but the German word
for flint"
Feuerstein moved to New Orleans
where, residing in the English-sp speaking
zone, he was called Mr.. Flint. Later
he moved into the French-Speaking dis
trict, where he became Pierre de Fusil
(the stone or rock of the gun@i.e. flint
And when he got back, after some
years, into the English speaking section,
they translated again, and he became
Peter Gun. Meanwhile, one OF his sons
had become Mr.. Stone.
Such changes have been going on
among men ever since names were in

have been responsible for the Norman
French De Burgo becoming the Irish

CHASE BANK REFORMS
VOTED BY DIRECTORS
One Securities Affiliate Will Be

Activities.

NEW YORK, April 7.-Sweeping
banking reforms, including the liqui-
dation of cne important securities
affiliate and the enforcement of
another affiliate from its securities SELL
ing business have been voted by the
board of directors of the Chase Ma
tional Bank of New York and the Chase
Securities Corporation.
Winthrop w. Aldrich, chairman of
the governing board and president of
the Chase National, and also chair
man of the Chase Securities Corpora
ton, announced after the meeting of
the directors late yesterday that it had
been voted to place "in process of
liquidation" the Chase Harris Forbes
Companies, wholly owned subsidiary
of the Chase Securities Corporation,
and to eliminate from the latter's
activities the business of distributing
securities to the public"
Mr.. Aldrich, in his letter to stock
holders calling for a special meeting
of the shareholders of both the bank
and the securities corporation for May
16, stated that 1--WE believe that what
we propose is in the best interest of
the bank and in accord not only with
sound banking policy but responsive
to enlightened public opinion"

her birth certificate before she could
get marriage license. The fair col
leen was born In Revere, Mass, and

Her name is Helen Schwarz
Not that this Is surprising at ALL
The stage, long before the movies were
dreamed of, had happy way Of
juggling with names.
The Kiskadden girl became Maude
Adams, and Elise Bierbower became
more pronounceable as Elsie Janis. So
that, with other changes Of name made
through accident, whim, court order
or adoption of pSeudonym, it's
pretty hard nowadays to tell just who
your next door neighbor really Is.
Literal translation of foreign names
is responsible for many changes. Thus,
Frenchman named L'Arrivee very
soon becomes Cummings ("coming') in
America. Another Frenchman named
Dupont (pont-bridge) changed 1t to
Dubridge, and so his descendants call
themselves, unless they, in turn, have
made some other changes.

Valuable Formula for
Homemade Laying Mash

The old ration consisting Of 100
pounds each of ground corn. ground
oats, bran, middlings and meat
scraps is still a useful formula for
a homemade laying mash. The ad-
dltIon of 2 per cent ground lime
stone. 2 per cent bonemeal and ]
per cent fine table salt makes the
ration better, as the minerals help
In the production Of strong shells.
When homegrown wheat is avail
able 1t pays to substitute 200
pounds ground wheat for the 100
pounds Of bran and 100 pounds of
middlings in the above ration.
Another good laying mash con-
sists of $50 pounds cornmeal, 100
pounds ground oats, 100 pounds
bran, 100 pounds middlings. sc
pounds meat scraps. so pounds al
falfa leaf meal, Is pounds bone
meal and 3 pounds fine table salt
In that ration the cornmeal can be
reduced to 100 pounds.-Indiana

ALL PURITANS NOT
ALIKE IN THOUGHT
Worked in Various Ways for
Church Reform.

During the Sixteenth century the
name Puritan was applied in Eng
land to all persons who urged a re-
form in the ritual of the established
church. There were different degrees
of Puritanism. There were those who
wished only to bring about reform
of the church liturgy; others desired
to abolish the episcopacy, while some
declared against all church authority.
The pilgrims, as they styled them
selves, who first formed a colony in
Holland and subsequently emigrated
to America, were "Separatists," so
called because they had separated
themselves from the Church of Eng
land and wished to maintain a dis
tinct organization. These formed the
Plymouth colony, which settled in
New England in 1920.
In 1923 another company of Puri-
tans came out and formed the Mas
sachusetts Bay colony. These claimed
to be members of the Church of Eng
Iduu, anu W nave uO ucSllC W Scpd-
rate from that body, but to be unable
conscientiously to conform to the
established ritual. They sought In
America liberty to hold their con
nection with the church, and yet to
adopt simpler ritual.
1--WE will not say" said Francis
Higginson, ''as the Separatists were
wont to say at their leaving Eng
land, Farewell, Babylon! Farewell
Romel' but we will say, Farewell
dear England; farewell the church
of God in England, and all the Chris
tian friends there We go to practice
the positive part of church reforma
tioR, and to propagate the gospel ir
America"
Nevertheless, when once estab
lished in America, the Puritans
claimed and practiced quite as much
religious independence as the others

Substitute for Sunshine

The reason poultry experts often
recommend cod liver oil as sub
stitute for sunshine is because 1t Is
rich in vitamln D, growth and
vigOr factor with great tonic prop
critics. This is explained by the
fact that the Goldfish from which it
is obtained lives In northern seas
where the sun shines for long
periods. 1t obtains its food from
micro-organisms and plants that alb
sorb ultraviolet rays of the sun
and the fish stores up the vitamins
In it's vital organs, principally the
liver. No other fish is able to store
equal quantities, it is said. Cod
liver oil fed to breeding hens in
creases fertility and hatchabllity.
When fed to young stock. stronger
and quicker growth results.

OF Agriculture, University OF Illi-

The present plentiful supplies OF
feed can be used up prot1tably by
chickens If they are properly fed.
Right now, there are few better
ways for farmers to improve their
income on this feed than to use 1t
for chickens.
At current egg prices it takes only
about ten eggs to pay for the %
pounds of feed eaten daily by 100
hens. Consequently. anything bet
ter than 10 per cent production
means extra cash income from the
grain that goes to poultry.
One farm adviser reports a farm
er who is making gross income
Of $50 week on the sale of eggs
from his 500-bird flock. 1t is fairly
safe to assume that the weekly feed
cost on this flock is not more than
$S.75, allowing % pounds of feed
daily for each 100 hens.
The farm poultry flock also can
provide a profitable outlet for some
of the surplus milk which is a
problem in certain areas. A flock
Of 500 hens can use 40 gallons Of
skimmilk a week when the milk is
used as the chief source of protein
in the ration.
There Is no particular value In
the fat content of milk for poultry,
so the dairy farmer can separate
his cream and sell it more profit
ably than he can feed it to chick
ems. On the other hand, the surplus
skimmilk should make it possible
TO save on the common protein sup
lplements, which are generally the
most expensive part of the poultry
ration.
A good mash mixture to use with
skimmilk can be made from 200
pounds ground yellow corn, 100
pounds ground wheat, 100 pounds
ground oats, 20 pounds meat scrap.

pounds ground limestone and 4

Profitable Broilers

If broilers and pullets are to be
raised at a cost that will yield a
profit important factors will have
to be carefully weighed by the pro-
ducer. These are, the quality and
efficiency of the brooding equip
ment, the feed used, and the sani-
tation. Quality of chicks comes first
because nothing gives poorer start
toward low production costs than
cheap chicks from untested stock.
Brooding equipment Is next in line
and quality and efficiency rather
than low price should govern ones
choice.
