do you think love is a mer-
chandise, Gregg, that you can
do up in a neat little bundle
tied with ribbon and hand
from one to another at will?
I'm not in love with Bill; I'm
not thinking Of Kevin as you
charge. He's not thinking Of
me. I've not seen him in two
weeks"
"Why haven't You seen him?"
demanded Gregg, suddenly
angry. "I'll tell you why! He
wasn't down on his knees bow

grand fuss over you. He's got
work to do and thinks of that

this prince out of fairy tale
who rushes you off your feet
with orchids and colored beads
and trips in an airplane. It
goes to your head! So you
think you'll punish Kevin by
ignoring him. You'll show him
that other men appreciate you
and lay the world at your feet!

Pippin's cheeks turned a fiery
red. "I've been studying for

Gregg looked out toward the
bay where a flotilla of yachts,
their white sails cleaning,
bobbed on the blue ripping
waters. He gave a short, un-

Pippin'S arm.

"And you don't know of other

They laughed and were care

Pippin dressed to go dancing
with Bill, she thought with lit

vitality Of the Birds Must
Have Consideration.

By. r. s; pearstyne. North Carolina state
COLLEGE Poultry Department.--WNU Service,
The evolution Of the fowl from a
Jungle bird laying Is eggs a year to
the modern hen laying up to 800 eggs
in the same period is a monument to
poultry science.
The fowl has been transformers from
a partially herbIvorous bird to one
which will utilize large quantities Of
animal protein In egg manufacture.
The birds bodies have probably
changed In adapting themselves to the
new diet
Unfortunately. however, the ten
dency of the industry has been to
stress increased production without
taking sufficient consideration of fowl
vitality.
The question Of mortality is now a
major concern 81 the Industry and
much thought ah1 investigation must
be spent before &the problem can be
solved. The problem is complex, as
there are so many reasons for birds
dying early. s
A recent srtdS OF the causes Of
death in 4.44O fewls showed deaths
were caused by fhe following condi-
lions In the percentages listed: Dis.
eases OF the digestive tract. 15.9 per
cent; intestinal Parasites. 1l.G per
cent; respiratory diseases, . per cent;
tumors, 81 per cht; germ borne dis

LIKE GRADING PLAN :
IN MARKETING EGGS
More Careful Practices Are
Found Profitable.

BY r. e Graz Poultry Extension Specialist
Ohio state unlverstY.-wNU Services.
Each year more eggs are marketed
on graded basis. Along with this
trend 1t is noticeable that poultrymen
are taking better care Of their eggs.
And we are finding that the farm prac-
tees leading TO better quality are no
more difficult to follow than many OF
the practices now In vogue that lead
TO poorer quality.
Eggs. like milk, deteriorate. Be-
cause the egg comes In sealed pack
age, and Its appearance seems much
the same whether kept under good
conditions or poor conditions, farmers
have evme more slowly to those prac-
tees that make for quality.
Here are the four practices poultry
men say lead to good quality;
Remove all cockerels from the
flock as soen as the breeding season is
ended.
Use good laying ration. 1t happens
that the best laying rations also are
proving to be the rations that give
quality and, when the eggs are fertile,
hatchability.
Produce clean eggs, by using good
litter 10 nests. on the floor, and COW
ering dropping boards with wire net
ting.
Gather eggs frequently. One poul-
tryfnaD reports saving time by gather
Ing four times day. He had less

PHILIPPINE OUTPUT
OF GOLD INCREASES
Production of Yellow Metal
Rivals Alaska.

washlngton.-Th Philippine islands,
with prospective gold production this
year Of Sl0,000,OO0. may soon pass
Alaska as a producer Of the yellow
metal, Jorge B, Vargas, Philippines un-
der-secretary of agriculture and COM
merce. predicted
lie said that Philippines production
In 1888 was nearly SS.000000, double
the preceding year. and seems likely
again to double. Alaskan production,
according to departmental statistics,
ranged from about 100000 In 1927
to $e,5O0.000 In 1888
VIII Be Permanent.
1.-THE Philippines Industry is not a
fash In the pan but will be perma-
nent." Vargas said. Modern machln-
cry and technical experts have been
brought from the United States and
scientific mining rapidly supersedes
the placer production.
'The mountain province In northern
Luzon is still the most productive re-
gion. but the old Spanish gold work
ings In Mindanao are again being
opened. Over 1900 lode claims and
1000 placer claims have been regis
tered
Vargas said that the Philippines
have large resources in Iron ore and
copper ore, Of which the development
has not gone very far because Of tile
,h,o,c. - er,,ort.-s o,d tl,. ,afafs..n
probability of gold mining. Some Iron
ore at present is sent to Japan for re-
tining. Geological surveys Indicate the
presence of petroleum In the islands,
but as yet commercial wells have not
been developed.
More Trade ls Possible.
Vargas remarks on the Importance
Of lnsular mining were intended to in
dictate the possibility of further devel-
opment Of mutually profitable and rela-
lively noncompetltive commerce be-
tween the Philippines and the United
States He accompanied President
Manuel L. Quezon Of the Philippines
senate to the United States in an effort
to keep open the transpacifc tracks Of
commerce.
1--WE want to produce in the Philip
pines articles which as far as possible
will not compete with United States
products he said. @In any case we
would like to supply those articles
which this country must obtain from
tropical countries, or of which there is
a deficit in United States supply"
Typical Of this trend In Philippines
commercial policy, Vargas revealed
that Island officials are studying new
uses of Manlla hemp which may be Of
future great Importance to this c0un-
try. Such experiments relate to the
use OF hemp in manufacture of sugar
bags and cotton bagglng, for which In
dian jute is now employed.

Guinea Fowls Marketed
Like Other Game Birds

The marketing season for guinea
fowls is during the latter part OF the
summer and throughout the fall. At
this time the demand In the city mar
kets Is for young birds weighing from
one to two pounds each. AS the sea-
son advances, the demand Is for
heavier birds.
GuiHeas are marketed as game birds
and. like game birds, are usually sold
on the market unplucked, although
hotels and restaurants buy them
plueked. There are three varieties Of
guineas, white, pearl, and lavender,
and although they were probably one
of the earliest domestieated fowls. they
still retain many of their wild char
acteristics. They can be raised prof
itahIy on most farms where the young
birds are allowed to range. picking up

Watch the Water Supply

Water fountains for poultry are
often counted expensive appliances.
Those who keep only small flock
are apt to think ordinary open vessels
which can be bought for o. small frac-
ton d their cost will do as well. The
grea, Eilyantage of the fountain is
that it keeps the water much longer
at TIE temperature It was when put
in, and that in summer there is very
little evaporation from 1t. On hot,
dry day water will evaporate from
open drinking vessels so fast that
they may be dry long before the time
when they are usually refilled. Where
the attendant is away from home all
day. the Consequence is that the birds
are without water when they need 1t
most.

Warns PouItrymen on Iodine

Because production Of eggs with
high iodine content is quite easy. and
lately has become somewhat Of a fad,
California poultrymen have been adj
yised BY Dr. H. J. AlmquIst, research
SeS 4. Ian poultry husbandry, Uni
ft'isst.' 5slk,a zofnia, TO proceed cau-
tiolsly along this line. "The principle
guiding much of this work." he said,
seems to be that, If small amount
of iodine in eggs is desirable, a large
dose Of 1t would be much better. This
is following the same rule which
caused the Indian buck to kill himself
with cough medicine" Minimum and
maximum iodine requirements of lay
ing birds and growing chicks, accord
ing to Doctor Almquist, are not known,
and until they are, considerable eau
ton in the use of iodine supplements
is to be recommended, he said.
