ried across the door sill Of a
home like that!
Once on the entrance level,
four or five steps lead down to a
very large drawing room, the
ceiling of which reaches to the
top Of the house. To the left
two steps lead down to the
smaller and much less formal
room which has very effective
English Pub" bar attached.
This room leads out onto the
sun-porch. Also to the left Of
the drawing room is Genes
study, filled with books, leather
furniture-and a lovely model Of
the "Mayflower," which Gene is
very proud Of. Jeanette gave
it to him for his birthday.
To the right Of the drawing
room is a little breakfast room.
all done in blue and white, and
a couple of blue lovebirds in a
white cage!
Love birds" I said. I don't
remember whether it was g
question or a sniff.
YES" said Gene, "but you
should hear them. They fight
like the dickens"
Hope it isn't catching"
Further around to the right is
a beautiful dining room, and
the kitchen is in that section
somewhere, cause I smeIled old
English pot-pie baking.
BEAM CEILING
Upstairs Gene showed us his
bedroom, which is pretty knobby.
Instead of paper on the walls,
there is a rather light-colored
japanese grass mat. The ceiling
is of beamed natural wood. The
bed, leather covered, and not
quite low enough to be modern.
Silver dresser set on the ma
hogany dresser. Deep window
seat running nearly the full
length of one side of the room.
Covered with a light-colored
heavy-grained material which
was piped in the same material
of a color to match the dark-red
carnations on his mahogany
desk. The room smart-and yet
exceedingly comfortable looking.
A guest room, Mrs. Raymond'S
beautiful room, and then the
play room-the last all in red
and white. Even the ping pong
table is painted white with red
lines. Autographed pictures OF
gay groups including Gene and
Jeanette, hanging around the
walls. White leather chairs, red
leather binding. Everything, all
through the house showing me
ticulous attention to the variest
detail.
Back down in the drawing
room spotted something in the
corner.
An organ! How nice. Play
something"
He did. And as I listened tt
the organ music roll away from
the balcony up on the side o!
the tall room, wondered if thil
handsome lad knew how very
lucky he is. Before I left / wa
sure he did.

Just guess! Well, he spent
our 215-hour interview raw

MacDonald-his wife. Tie
that!
WHAT A SURPRISE!
He told me all about buy
ing and furnishing the house
for her. 1t was Hollywood's
best-kept secret. Five months
before they were married he
bought this lovely home on a
high knoll not far from Bev-
erly Hills. Nearly every day
he and his agent, Helen Fer
guson, would 60 out to see
how the remodeling was COM
ing along.
He said:
''To all the workers I was
known as John Morgan, the
man with the cold.' I always
had my hat down, my coat
collar up, dark glasses on,
and my handkerchief to my
nose. It was pretty awful

wedding and the reception

cided that it would be less

ones. I told her we were
going to Riverside, about go
miles from here, but she
didn't notice that we were
driving away from, not to-
ward, Riverside.
"Then the lights on the car
went out, and for a minute I
didn't know how I would be
able to carry out my surprise.
Well, I said: We'll drive on
up and get my car (my old
house is just a short distance
from here). So we sort of
crept along till we got in
front of the house here. She
said, What are we stopping
here for?' I had every light
in the house lit.

Sanitation Will Prevent
or Check Turkey Disease

Sanitary measures will prevent or
check the development Of the black
head disease Of turkeys which is
killing many poults, according to
Dr.. E.. N. Stout, State college at
Fort Collins, Colo. ~. -.
Some turkey growers are being
victimized by irresponsible people
who are selling vaccines and ,medi-
cines as cures for blackhead, DR..
Stout is informed.
No drug or vaccine has been de-
veloped that has any value In cur
ing or preventing this disease. he
declares. There are, however, he
adds, certain sanitary measures
which are valuable in preventing
or checking this disease.
Turkeys should not be raised with
chickens because chickens often are
infested with worms which may car
~ microscopic parasites that cause
blackhead after turkeys eat con-
taminated food or drink polluted
water. &c. - T., -. areS
It is dangerous to allow turkeys
to drink ditch water because Of the
danger Of blackhead infection from
chickens on other farms through
which the ditch water flows.

"Climacteric" of an Apple

Did you ever hear Of the "climac-
teric" Of an apple? It is a new Eng
lsh term, likely to be used in this
country, says the Rural New-York-
er. It denotes the stage Of develop
ment of fruit in which all source Of
food supply from the parent tree is
cut off and it no longer has the
capacity to build up and repair
itself. In this stage the fruit takes
up oxygen, gives; off carbon dioxide,
gives off heat, loses cell turgor,
and fails to maintain the wear and
tear on itself. Speaking loosely this
might be called the ripening stage.
Most fruit is harvested just before
the onset of climacteric. .4&.

the celery said the tide water gave
the celery just enough salt to make
It highly palatable. At any rate, q

Rations, Heat, Flys Check

Faulty rations, heat and flies are
blamed for the difficulty Of getting
cows to produce full, even flow Of
milk through the summer. Grazing
in most permanent pastures gets
short and tough, and the grass con-
tains less protein than earlier in the
season. s.. q {, L. 5-sE IL. as5s
=. Temporary grazing crops such as
lespedeza and sudan grass are
needed to supplement the perma-
nent pasture, or the cows should be
fed silage, with the protein content
Of the grain mixture being increased
to 20 per cent. - s.sz @.ss-&'
As the grazing in the pasture de-
creases the quantity Of grain fed
should be increased. -
Cows suffer from heat, and II pos
sible the place where they are kept
during the hot part Of the day should
be provided with a shade and an
ample supply Of fresh water.
Flies will irritate cows and keep
them from producing q full milk
flow. AZ far as possible, fly breed
ing places should be eliminated.
Stalls and manure pits should be
cleaned as often as possible, at
least once a week, and the manure
hauled to the fields. Fly traps and
sprays will also help protect the
animals from this annoyance.

= Age Limit on Pullets

There is a good deal of latitude
in the classification of fowls accord
ing to size, weight and age, there
being no exact limits which may be
called into use to designate the birds
at their different stages Of growth,
according to q writer in the Rural
New Yorker. In ordinary usage, a
pullet is a female fowl under one
year of age, after. which age the
pullet becomes q hen. AS q mar
keting term for young birds, how
ever, a pullet is an immature fe-
male from 8 to 20 weeks of age
from three-fourths pound to 3h
pounds in weight.

DEPRESSION BRINGS
CHEAPER WEAPONS
Collector Of Blackjacks Says
Old Ones Were Better.

New Orleans. Police credit w. J.
Warrington, founder and director Of
the Warrington Movement, philan-
thropic organization, with breaking
up q great deal Of incipient crime
here. j 5zt5 Il
Warrington gives free breakfasts
to men in desperate straits. And
frequently. in return for a full stom-,
ach, the men give Warrington weap-
ons with which they had planned to
commit robbery.
The type Of weapons-usua
blackjacks-he now gets has given
Warrington some new ideas about
depressions. 1',.
During the postwar depression Of
1920 he accumulated about $50
,blackjacks,, Of superior workman
ship, mostly Of leather and shot.
''In 1920 man usually had his
own little house and some property
and he was prepared to do vio-
lence to protect them," Warrington
said. -. o..
The recent depression, however,
according to Warrington, was a
"women's and children's depres-
sion" The houses and last bits of
property Of those people went, and
they had nothing left. Not only the
men but the women and children,
too, were desperate"
The recent depression left War
rington quite q different collection
Of blackjacks. They were Of cheap
est construction, usually q heavy
railroad spike, q bit Of copper wire
wrapped in tape, or pieces Of iron
or lead pipe.
Warrington's 1920 collection was
broken up in the late '20s, most Of
the weapons being given away as
souvenirs. -

Centralized Buying Agency Recommended For State

Hartford, Conn, Feb. 4.--(UP-- A centralized commodity purchas- Ing agency for the state govern- ment. instead of the present system whereby each department pur- chaseS it's ow:i needs, was proposed to the General Assembly today by the state reorganization commission.
 The commission, urging the tran- sition be made gradually, suggested creation during the next two years of Q central purchasing agency in the department of finance and con- trol.
 Under the commission plan, the central agencJ would be known as the division of purchases. It would be headed by a supervisor appoint ed by the commissioner of finance and control. and would include Q standardization committee consist- ing oi the supervisor and represen- tatiyes iron. the highway. welfare, education, public works. public health and public safety depart ments.
 At the present time. the commis- sion said, except in the highway department, the preparation of de- tailed specifications for commodi- ties purchases is rare indeed, ale though such standardization Is in- dispcnsable to securing the most suitable commodities tt the lowest competitive prices and to any in- teiligent evaluation of the pur. chasing results of any agency.
