VANDENBURG ASKS FOR FAIRNESS TO BUSINESS

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.-"If le- gitimate American business does not have a fair chance for profitable service, none of us have chance to survive" Senator Arthur Vanden- burg, Republican of Michigan, de- clared in an address to a meeting of Community Clubs in Grand Rapids. The senator added:
 .'It is fine to say in case 5f wealth that wealth ought to be shared as widely as profitable in a democracy, but wealth to be sensibly : shared, must be widely shared Business has to succeed before it can make jobs. Moray must go to work before men go to work"

Genghis Khan, Founder of
Mongol Empire, Barbarian

An anniversary recently celebrat-
ed in China as it has been for
number of centuries was that of
Genghis Khan, the founder of the
Mongol empire, which in the Thir-
teenth century extended from the
Danube on the west across Asia to
the Pacific. The career of conquest
of this remarkable character in his
tory astounded the world of his day,
by whom it was thought to be solely
the result of the seemingly irresist-
ible power of the hordes of Mongol
horsemen he had at his command.
But in the light of research, says
r. A. Berry in the New York Her.
ald-Tribune, 1t is seen that, while
Genghis Khan was the leader of
one of those periodical uprisings and
migrations from central Asia like
those of the Huns and the Turks
before him, yet it was his quality of
leadership that made the vast Mon
gol conquests and empire possible.
Like all nomad empires, that of
Genghis Khan was purely military
and administrative, a sort of frame
work overshadowing but only occa-
sionally disturbing the land. 1t GEN.
tered in the personality of the lead
er, and it's relation with the mass of
the population was simply one
of taxation for the maintenance of
the strength of the military. The
most complete religious liberation
was granted, and only when tribute
was refused or insurrection attempt
ed did the subject people, once they
were conquered, feel the heavy hand
of the ruler. But in such instances
punishment was sure and swift and
often went to the extreme of WHIP
ing out whole populations, for, al
though civilized to a certain extent,
Genghis Khan was a true barbarian
in this respect.
Genghis Khan died in 1927 in the
midst of his triumphs, and shortly
after his passing the dissolution of
the great Mongol empire began. On
the death of Kublai Khan in 1924 the
title of Great Khan lapsed and the
descendants of Kublai became the
Yuan dynasty whose rule was con-
fined to China and Mongolia.

Warm Soil Is Necessary
to Grow the Sweet Corn

With jaded winter appetites hun
gering for such spring dishes as
roastin' ears, home and CONNER
cial vegetable gardeners are ad-
vised that no definite date can
be given for the safe planting OF
sweet corn, since the seed will not
terminate or grow until the soil is
fairly warm, according to B. l..
Weaver, of the department of hor-
ticulture, University of Illinois, col
lege of agriculture.
Planting q number of varieties
which vary as to time of matur-
ity is a recommended method of
obtaining a succession of roasting
ears throughout the season. A good
succession of white corn may be had

Yield and uniformity are much
greater where hybrid seed is used.
Hybrids, because Of their vigor
and possibly because of some in

ceptible to bacterial wilt than OPEN
pollinated types.

Selecting New Flock

Poultrymen who are selecting
their new breeding flock, if they are
planning on raising their own baby
chicks this spring, says D. D. Moy-

certainly should be included. Salts

used should have large. rugged bod

They should show early sexual ma
turity by well developed comb and

be the aim of all poultrymen.

NEW SOIL EROSION DEMONSTRA-
TION TO BE ESTABLISHED
In MARYLAND

Farmers in central Maryland who
will soon have an opportunity to in
spect scientific soil-saving methods
in actual use on new soil erosion
control demonstration area to be
established by the soil Conservation
Service in Howard county, it is an
nounced today by H. H. Bennett,
chief of the Service. The new project
will include approximately 1880
acres in the watershed of the Middle
Patuxent river.
In cooperation with farmers in
the area the Service will demonstrate
These include contour cultivation,
strip cropping, use Of cover crops and
systematic crop rotations, planting
and reseeding of pastures and retired
areas, woodland management and
improvement, and other conservation
measures which are suited to land
conditions in that part of the state.
The Service will also construct
terraces, check dams, diversion dit
ches, and other mechanical struc-
lures, as part of the demonstration
in sustained land use.
Erosion conditions, topography
and land use practices in the new
area are representative of approx
mately 100000 acres of agricultural
land in central Maryland, according
to Bennett, who said that methods
demonstrated on the project will
benefit large numbers of farmers in
the surrounding region.

Dog, Guardian in Death
for Ancient Epvptians

"a dogs life" in ancient Egypt
apparently wasn't so bad. A splen-
did tomb for a dog, unearthed near
CHA, revealed from the inscrip-
tons, the canine was buried with
the greatest of honors.
Supposedly, writes correspond
ent in the Washington Post, it was
so entombed to be the guardian in
death, as well as in life, of it's mas
ter. In Egyptian mythology, the
humble dog was the god and pro-
tector of the dead. At one time,
dog worship was the principal fea-
ture of Egyptian religion.
Such generation was not limited
to the land of the Nile, however. 1t
spread to Greece, Rome, was found
in western Asia. Even now, in parts
of Java, natives enshrine the red
dog, and each family keeps one in
it's house.
Indians of our own Pacific Coast
respected the dog, believing it could
take theffor Of handsome youth.

No Pure Black or White

White light must be broken up
into its component parts before any
colors are seen, and white objects
are those which are said to reflect
white light completely, showing no
colors whatever. On the other
hand, black is supposed to be the
absence Of all color or light, and
black objects are said to absorb all
light rays that strike them, thus re-
f1ecting nothing. Black objects are
visible only because of ighter-col-
ored objects around them. A black
object could not be seen with the
eye. However, there are no pure
"colors" of black and white. All
black that we see is partly gray,
and all white is partly gray. In
fact, says Pearson's London Week.
ly, there are more than 300 shades
of both black and white known, but
no pure form of either.

FALL SEEDED LAWNS MAKE
BEST GROWTH

Experience and tests have shown
that fall seeded lawns are more
successful than those seeded in the
spring, according to Walter r.
Ballard, specialist in Ornamental gard
ening for the University of Maryland
Extension Service. II the grass Is
not seeded too late in the fall it will
carry over the winter and make SUI
ficient growth in the spring to with
stand the heat of the summer
months.
From the middle of August to tho
middle of September has been found
to be the best period for fall seeding
although the actual time of sowing
the seed may have to depend upon
the prevalence of fall rains. Grading
and preparation of the seed bed
should be done as a preliminary step.
Seeding may then be delayed for
few days pending good rain.
As grass will not grow on poor
soil, it is important to introduce
liberal supply of phosphate in some
form before seeding. 1t is necessary
to apply the phosphate before seed
ing because it does not soak down to
the roots when applied to established
lawns as top dressing. Fortunately
the phosphate does not leach out
of the soil, so it will stay until used
up. Organic matter is often lacking
in soils and the addition Of manure,
compost, leaf mold, or similar mat
reial will prove beneficial.
Kentucky blue grass and red top
form the basis of most lawn grass
mixtures. To this should be added
Chewing's fesque, which is particul-
arly useful under large trees or in
shady locations. White clover is
largely matter of taste and may be
added or left out of the mixture.

Throughout history, glasses have
been as significant, symbolically
and in relation to social custom and
dress, as they have been important
to improved eyesight, declares Meta
Rosenthal in Hygeia, the Health
Magazine. Their origin goes back
to antiquity and China, where SYM
Dol and ceremony govern life. In
the latter half of the Fifteenth CEN
fury, literate folk, particularly the
mandarins, wore them; and the
more important the man, the big
ger were the circles of glass, and
the heavier and more elaborate
were the horn or shell frames. The
humble in station wore plain baEn-
boo frames. Glasses came to repre-
sent virtue, prudence, wisdom and
clairvoyance; and doctors, magis-
trates, bibliophiles-an men of dis
tinction in the Seventeenth century
wore them.

WHY DO THEY FIGHT?

Isn't it foolish to fight and quarrel
Over land and sea, and forests, and
oil?
We could work together and lend a
hand,
And make each nation better band
OF people, who should be friendly
and free;
Will other nations do like we?
The friendly nations keep peace and
order,
Without an army on every border
To tell their neighbor what to do.
It's silly to fight and fume and fuss.
Will other nations do like US,
And keep their quarrels few?

FARM
Tories
SHOULD TURN EGGS
WHILE INCUBATING
Poultry Expert Cites -Four
Fundamental Factors.
BY DR.. W. c. Thompson, Poultry Husband
man, New Jersey Experiment Stauon'
WNU Service.

-. =
WNU Service.
Temperature, ventilation, mois-
ture and change of position are the
four fundamental factors in obtain
ing good matches in incubators.
Changing the position of the en-
bryos during the three weeks OF de-
velopment within the shell is very
important. Mother hens, incubat-
ing their setting of eggs on the old
fashioned nest, usually move the
eggs beneath them at least twice
during the day, thus tending to
equalize the exposure of each egg to
the conditions of temperature, fresh
air and moisture, all of which must
be uniformly applied to each egg.
In the operation of the modern in
cubator, man can well copy this
rule of the hen. Experimental evil
dence seems to Indicate that he can
60 the hen one better by doubling
the number of turnings during each
24-hour period.
If Matching eggs are changed in
position once every six hours, optl-
mum results, other things being
equal, will generally result. 1t is
partly a matter of preventing the
sticking of the developing embryo
to some one position within the
shell, and partly a matter OF equal
izing the exposure of the respective
eggs to the conditions which will
bring about normal, natural embry-
onic growth.
Most modern incubators are pro-
vided with devices for turning eggs.
It is important to be regular and
consistent in this practice. 1t is one
of those many small items which,
taken collectively, spell successful
Matching and the production OF
chicks.

LOCATION OF KITCHEN SINK

Location, lighting, ventilation and
height are all important factors i'll
locating the kitchen sink and can
make a vast amount of difference in
the efficiency of the workers, says
Miss Jessie D. Hinton, home maLsge-
ment specialist for the University Of
Maryland Extension Service. She
points out that a number of Mary
land farm families have found it to
their advantage to entirely rearrange
the equipment in the kitchen.
The height of the sink above the
floor is one of the most important
factors in reducing fatigue for the
housewife, as nothing can be more
firing than to work at sink which
is just a few inches too low or high,
it is stated by Miss Hinton. For this
reason careful consideration should
be given to the height of the sink in
relation to that of the person who
has work at it most of the time and
it should be adjusted accordingly.
While location of water pipes and
drain will be a determining factor
in the location of the sink, it is inn
portant to consider the relation Of
the sink to stove and cabinets where
silver and dishes are stored, since a
great deal of food is prepared at the
sink and it is the center of dish
washing.

Higher Farming Costs

Labor and products bought by the
farm in 1887 are predicted by the
Department of Agriculture to cause
a sharp increase in the cost of farm
ing. Price for feed for live stock
and seed will stay high until the
crop of the 1887 season replenishes
the present drouth-reduced supply.
Farm machinery, fertilizer, and
building supplies are expected to
advance some in price due mostly
to the increased cost Of labor and
material.

Refrigerator in Mid-Ocean

A long-standing mystery of the
sea-how icebergs managed to re-
main frozen until they had reached
the Atlantic shipping lanes-is east
ly solved, says a writer in Pear
sons London Weekly. They travel
south on a cold current, which acts
as an ocean refrigerator. This cur
rent flows between two m n
streams, the Greenland current,
which travels northward, and the
Labrador current, which flows
southwark. In between, the Ere
frigerator" carries the icebergs
down into the Atlantic, where they
finally melt and disappear.
