research laboratory especially con-
structed, equipped and stated with
physicists to do research work on tex

also expected that a unit of wooden

improvements are completed, North

of the best equipped textile schools in
America.
The growth of this Textile School
has been phenomenal in recent years,
the enrolment having doubled in less
than a decade, and for the past two
years it has registered more full time
day students than any other textile
school in America. It's graduates have
established a reputation for making

positions in every phase of the textile
industry in this and other countries.

Sunlight Is Source of
Vitamin D; Aids Poultry

Sunlight is just as essential to
good poultry health as green feed,
fresh water and clean quarters. The
wise poultry raiser, whether he has
a sizable flock or only a few hens,
will find profit in providing proper
sunshine. Pens, runways, feeding
houses, brooders and yards should
be planned carefully to take full
advantage of the health-giving rays,
says a writer in the Los Angeles
Times.
Know, too, that sunlight is an
important source of vitamin D, es-
sential to normal growth and health
of all animals. In the case of poultry.
they need the vitamin D. of the
suns rays because:
Q.) Adult birds become weakened
and soon develop rickets without

the growth of young birds is stunted
and they turn out to be sickly,
scrawny specimens.
(2) Egg production is affected
vitality: If your flock is producing
soft or paper-thin shelled eggs, the
reason may be that it is not getting
enough sunshine.

sure, this morning, that she knew.
I've been waiting for a chance to
talk to you. l couldn't when she
was here"
Poor child" Mr.. Vaughn sighed.
This is going to be difficult for her.
Why did you suspect Clyde. Jim?"
Anger flared through his weakening
self control. "Cowardly young
bounder! I'd like to wiring his
neck!"
Jim detailed to Mr.. Vaughn the
steps which had led him to suspect
Jeremy, of being sure at first that
Tommy had taken the car, of his
talk with Tommy. of the question
which had brought the look of fear
into Jeremy's eyes. He related the
events of the day preceding the
night of the accident, mentioning
Jeremy's quarrel with Cecily as Su-
san had reported it. the party at
the Pattons'. He spoke of Dolly and
the hints she had given him of her
acquaintance with Jeremy. With
painstaking care he fitted the frag-
ments together into complete and
convincing blueprint of the entire
situation.
AS Jim talked, Mr.. Vaughn con-
tinued to pace back and forth across
the veranda, letting his cigar 60
out, lighting it again, asking ques-
tion now and then, making COM
ment, weighing and appraising the
evidence Jim presented. And as
he talked, Jim listened. without be-
ing conscious of doing so, for Geo
ily's returning footsteps, for sounds
from the distant guest wing, for
some hint or indication of what
was taking place upstairs.
An interval of considerable length
elapsed before Cecily returned to
the veranda. Mr.. Vaughn, becom-
ing increasingly anxious, went over
the situation again and again. At
times his anger, exaggerated by
WEAKNESS and anxiety, broke the
restraining bonds of control; at
times, anger was lost in tenderness
for Cecily, in forgiving affection, in
helpless compassion for her humil-
iation and grief.
I'D give anything to have spared
her this" he said. ''She was really
in love with the boy. You're her
contemporary, Jim. You're closer to

FEED IS
FAVORED FOR PIGS
Clean Field Will Pay Well,
Specialist Advises.

BY H. W. Taylor, Extension Swine Spe-
cialist, North Carolina State College.
WNU Service.
A good, clean pasture for spring
farrowed pigs will pay big dividends
at marketing time next fall.
When on good pasture, the sow
and pigs are protected from disease
and parasite infection and provided
with feed essential to health and de-
velopment. And pasturage is the
cheapest form of feed that can be
given the young porkers.
Soy beans planted in rows and
cultivated twice will furnish excel
lent grazing from the time the
plants are about Is inches high un-
til frost.
On good land an acre of soy beans
will support Is to 20 shotes, provid-
ed they also receive full feed Of
corn and a good protein supple
ment.
Such pastures should be sown on
land where pigs have not been al
lowed to range during the previous
year or so. Best results will be OBJ
tanned if the land has been cultivat-
ed with some crop since the last
time swine were on it.
Land used for hog pasture or hog
lots during the past year may be
infested with parasites, particularly
worms, or other forms of disease
producing organisms.
To get the pigs in top shape for
fall market they should be kept on
full feed at all times.

Finally Admitted Women.

Cambridge long held out against
the admission of women students,
and, though it was obliged at last
to surrender and welcome the two
girls colleges, Newham and Cir
ton, more than sixty years ago, it
still, unlike Oxford, does not allow
women to take actual degrees.
The undergraduates" attend lee
lures, both university and college,
with the undergraduates, and take
the same ''honors" examinations
(they are not allowed to take the
easier pass" examinations), but if
successful their reward is merely
a title to a degree"
Every college has its own staff
of tutors and its own endoWments
which, together with the fees from
its student members, provide for
its upkeep. In many cases the col
leges have acquired much landed
property.
From the beginning it is i'm
pressed on the student that the 10y
atty of the individual is first to his
college. It is by no means un-
common for the members of a fam
lily to send their sons to one partic-
ular college, generation after gen.
Grafton. But in the background there
remains the Alma Mater, the uni
versity itself. To the initiated it
is your college that you mention
first; to the stranger, if asked, you
announce yourself as a Cambridge
man.
The university, like college, is
corporate body with its own en-
dowments supplemented by contri-
buttons from the colleges and the
government. 1t also has its own lee
ture halls and research laborato-
ries and it alone appoints the pro-
fesSors, who are the elite among
the "dons," or faculty members.
While the ultimate governing au-
thority is the senate, which consists
of those who have taken the degree
of master of arts, the executive au-
thority is vested in the chancellor,
elected by the senate, who is now
always a prominent national figure.
In practice, however, his duties
are performed by the resident vice
chancellor, who is invariably the
head of one of the colleges.

Yellow NeWtoWn Apple

The Yellow Newtown apple, which
has grown for many years in Vir-
ginia and is there known locally as
the Albemarle Pippin, was brought
to that state by DR.. Thomas Walker
who was a physician with the Vir-
ginia troops during the French and
Indian war. After the defeat Of

to his home in Virginia and appar-
emily carried scions of the apple

were successfully grated on trees

Thermometer in Shade, Sun

A thermometer shows a higher
reading in the sun than in the shade
because it absorbS solar radiation.
A thermometer in the shade gives
more nearly the true temperature
of the air, but is exposed to radia-
tion from surrounding objects. Most
thermometers used by weather bu-
reaus are sheltered and protected
from radiation, while permitting the
air to circulate freely about them.

Clean Water for Ponds

A location that will allow drain
age from only clean pasture Of
meadow should be chosen for the
farm pond, says Marion Clark of the
Missouri College of Agriculture.
Water from barnyards and lots
should never be allowed to drain in
to stock ponds. Where it is de-
sirable to construct a pond where
water from lots would normally
drain into it, terraces should be
used to intercept the contaminated
water and carry it to another water
shed where it will not pollute the
pond water.

This independence has been char

and have an easy life because of her wealth,
his mind rebels Stopping at the village
drug store for a sandwich, he meets Dolly,
a pretty soda fountain CIR. When he in
quires about the Vaughns, she asks If he is

a message to Tommy. young son Of the fam

estate. Approaching the house, Jim en-
counters tomboyish little girl. fishing. She
is startled and falls in the brook. 1ncensed

They tell him that Mr.. Vaughn is recover

a widower since Sue was little child Mrs.
Macpherson suggests that Mac give Jim
a job as handyman. Jim goes for walk
to think it over and picks up horse shoe.
Soon Cecily, a lovely young girl, appears,
riding a limping horse. Jim scolds her
when he sees the animal has thrown shoe.
There is an angry scene. Jim's ire cools
and he is intrigued as he thinks about her.
He tells the MacPhersons he wants to stay
