DERHAPS now is as good time
i as any to speak of the babies
characteristics as I have observed
them ever their first year of life.
I think it is absurd to try 20 pre-
dict what they will become from
what they are now.
Nevertheless, while I wish to
avoid eXtravagant statements,
each little girl is a definitely
marked individual with character
istics all her own. 1 have often
been asked if any one is my fav-
orite. I answer that the last of
those babies you pick up is your
favorite, but perhaps I picked up
oftenest Annette and Emelie.
do not know why-the law Of
attraction, I suppose.
Annette is never afraid of any
thing, not even of new things to
do. She is interested in every
thing and likes innovations. She
is also intensely interested in the
effect on others of what she does.
I should say that she is the most
coy of all the babies as well as the
prettiest.
Yvonne is the imp of the fam
lily. She was the first to learn to
wrinkle her nose and once she
had found a new trick, she would
practice it all by herself. She is
initiative, too. Make face at her
and she will make one back at
you.
She is one of the most energetic
of the babies. Whatever she does
is done with all her might, from
tantrums to pat-a-cakeS.
TECILE is the quiet, peaceful
~ one. If any of these non-cry-
ing babies can be said to have
cried even less than the others,
she is that one. Even when she is
sick, she doesn't cry. Cecile is alb
sorbed in problems which she is
always trying to work out.
Almost the most upset she ever
got was when she couldn't pick
the red roses off her quilt. She
likes to study thing and fol-
low it through.
Emehe is extremely lively and
always wants to do what the 9TH
ers are doing. She is certainly
the athlete of the crowd, very
active and fast in her movements.
She never needs more than the
merest invitation to play. She
screams with laughter at the very
suggestion of a frolic.
1t has been said that Marie is
the Madonna. This is truer than
many of the things that have been
said about the babies. Marie is
the aloof one. She never follows
suit readily but does everything
in her own good time.
She is rather imperious and
wants what she wants when she
wants it. She is contemplative by
nature and will occupy herself for
hours simply looking at bright
lights or bright objects. To make
her laugh and frolic was hard
job but we succeeded in doing it.

WIDER patent protection for medical discoveries
made by university research and active
pTacuuoners Is urged by George w. Merck, president
OF Merck & Co, Railway, N. j.. in a report prepared
Tor the American Chemical Society.
patent control over new medical discoveries
he insists IS necessary that "a wild scramble of
eXpOiterS may be avoided" and the greatest benefits
TO the public secured
This question of medical patents has caused con-
siderable discussion in the past and there is d-
Vded opinion upon 1t among leaders of the medical
profession.
Medical men, of course, would not regard a patent
rs a device for gaining a monopoly over a medical
discovery. Such thing is contrary to the whole
philosophy Of medical progress But the question
arises as to whether or not patents would be ad-
VSab!e to maintain proper control and prevent abuse.
ANY inventor working for the alienation of
human suffering will wish that his contribution shall
reach the patient IN the way that he believes it
should" Mr.. Merck says. What assurance has he
If the opportunity to manufacture is Immediately
thrown open 10 all Tor wild scramble Of exploerS?"
WTHAT assurance, Mr.. Merck asks, can the medi-
w cal inventor have that "a well-founded inst-
tuition fully qualified by financial resources and or
ganization can devote itself to investing the
sary time, effort, and money in his product unless
there IS some measure of control against ruthless and
INSCRIPTIONS competitions"
Practical experience" he continues. has shown
that patents on strictly chemical inventions will d.
rectly assure more prompt introduction and &C
CeptanCe. and wider usefulness of new definite
chemical products and developments because through
the support and protection of patent the chemical
material is Immediately made available by COM
petent organization.
TT IS through such patent protection that the
company receives some measure of assurance
that recoup its capital outlay, and the product
thus protected is promptly brought TO the attention
Of the practitioners who may find it useful.
1t seems most essential that universities,
search institutions and those charged with the di
rection OF things medical in the government should
keep an open mind and weigh carefully in each
the advantages that patent protection can give in
making inventions in medicine promptly and ade-
oUately available. The question of control alone is
one which should not be surrendered without care

OBITUARY. OF ROBERT HUDLER

Robert B. Hudler was born April
3rd, 1858, and departed this life on
Feb. 6, 1886, aged rs years, 10
months, and days. He married Miss
Ellen Akers on June 6, 1880. To this
union were born twochildren: Arthur,
of Bel Air, Nd, and Mrs. Birdie
Blackburn, of Grassy Creek. In addi-
ton to his own family, he raised
three orphan children: Miss Minnie
Hudler, Mrs. Lissie Watson Deboard,
and Mrs. Paul Blevins, all of Grassy
Creek. Mr.. Hudler showed the spirit
of Christ when he cared for these
children and no doubt the attachment
between him and them was a great
as that which existed with his own
children.
His first wife died March 1883, in
Texas. He was again married to Jane
Blevins, Jan. 8, 1886. He is survived
by his widow, SO years old, his two
children, a number of grandchildren

PENNINGTON, N. J. WONDERS.
HOPEFULLY, IF HAUPTMANN
WILL GET ANOTHER CHANCE

Pennington, No. T., April 6.-The
people of Pennington are specializing
on Bruno Richard Hauptmann's
chances ofgetting new trial. Sooner
or later the talk always reaches the
point where someone says, 81 wonder
what it would be like a second time
From Sheriff John H. Curtiss and
his deputies the speculation runs it's
course through the town, down to the
last little boy who peddled souvenirs
of the six-week trial to the sighteers.
In Remington those feverish days
are still as fresh as they were on the
night of February 13 when Haupt-
mann was convicted of first degree
murder and sentenced to die in the
electric chair for the kidnap-murder
of the Lindbergh baby.
They were boom days for many a
oul in the little town. The garage
zen pocketed unexpected dollars, the
aberdashers picked up extra money,
he restaurants profted, and the
Union hotel as well as various house
olders, gave thanks for the shower
IF money that fell on Pennington
18th the advent of newspaper writer's,
telegraphers, lawyers and curious
spectators.
Cert Pcdrick, co-owner of the I'm
ion hotel, would not be averse to a
retrial. Neither would the sheriff for
that matter, nor most of the other
people in town. Yet the feeling pre-
walls that second trial would be less
exciting than the first. The edge
would be gone.
Hauptmann's first trial still brings
a few extra dollars into Pennington.
Motorists from the outside world still
roll into town on Saturdays, Sundays
and holidays to stare at the old Hun
terdon county courthouse nd the Jail.
They still ask the sheriff to show
them the court room and ask ques-
tons the curious asked while the trial
was in progress: Where did Lind
bergh sit? And Betty Cow? And
Hauptmann himself?
The courtroom has been changed
considerably. The temporary furni-
ture is gone and the old seats re-
placed, but people still stare and try
to recall the scenes of those six
weeks. b..

ANSWERED AT STATE
COLLEGE

Question: How much milk should
1 add to my poultry feed to produce
milk-fed brOilers?
Answer: Two pounds Of either
skimmilk or buttermilk should be
added to each pound of the fattening
ration and fed during a fattening
period of Z to 10 days. The milk and
ration is mixed so as to make a
sloppy feed that will pour readily
from a bucket. During the first two
day of the fattening period, feed only
as much as the birds will consume in
Is minutes twice a day. After the
second day give them all they will
clean up in 20 to 80 minutes two or
three times a day. Only enough water
to quench the thirst should be given
twice day during the fattening
period.

Answer: Approximately 600 feet of
row will produce enough corn for the
average family of five. The corn,
however, should be planted in blocks,
containing several rows rather than
in two or three long rows. Where
long rows are planted, pollination is
apt to be poor and the ears will not

sweet or sugar corn are Golden Sun
