KELLY MILLER SAYS

....Third Term and Dictatorship
Democracy and Dictatorship
are incompatible terms. The
issue between these two types
OF government is now uppermost
throughout the civilized world.
In the final analysis the distinc-
ton between the two types of
government will not be found to
consist wholly in the exercise of
of irresponsible and absolute
power, but the ultimate test
will be seen in the transmission
of authority from the existing
regime to its successor. Who
will succeed Mussolini or Hitler :?
That is the question. Under a
Democracy the law of transi-
ton is fixed in the constitution.
The successor of the dictator
depends on his own will and his
own choice. President Theodore
Roosevelt designated William
H.. Taft as his successor, but this
designation had to be confirm
cd by the suffrage of the people
according to prescribed Consti-
tutional method.
Hitler is called a Fuerher and
Mussolini II Duce, meaning a
leader in both instances. The
title of dictator is reprobated in
America for the reason of eu-
phony. Albeit we acquiesced
emergency power conferred up
on or aBsumd by Abraham Lin
coin, Woodrow Wilson and F. d.
Roosevelt. Emergency powers
equal to or surpassisng those Of
European relationships. w e
tolerate the,role while detesting
the title of dictator. Roosevelt
cannot exercise any authority
unless specifically conferred on
him by Congress and ecuuiesce
in by the people. The length of
time in which dictator shall
exercise extraordinary power
depends on the duration of the
emergency which made him
necessary.
On March 4. 1888, the Ameri-
can people found themselves
confronted, not merely by an
emergency, Of short duration
but face to face with an epoch

Most Fires on Farms
From Common Caus


Farm fires in the United States
take about $500 lives and destroy
$500, 100000 worth of property each
year, says a recent United States
department of agriculture publica-
ton, "Fires on Farms"
Eighty-fve per cent of this loss is
from such commonplace causes as
defective chimneys and flues;
sparks on combustible roofs; light
ming; spontaneous combustion;
careless use of matches, smoking;
careless use of gasoline and kero-
sene; defective and improperly in
stalled stoves and furnaces; faulty
wiring; and misuse of electric ap-
planes.
Four simple precautions that the
author, Harry E. Roethe, of the bu-
reau of chemistry and soils, gives
to reduce needless waste caused by
farm fires are: Use fire-resistant
roofing, dispose of waste and rub
bish, never use gasoline or kero-
sene to start or revive a fire, and,
guard against overheating of stoves
and furnaces and clean smoke pipes
at least once a year. He also sug-
gests that major buildings be
equipped with lightning rods.
In addition to removing the fire
hazards, Roethe suggests prepara-
tons to fight a fire should one oc-
cur, that is, fire-fighting equipment
on every farm, kept in a handy
place ready for instant use.

WEAK EGG SHELLS
LACK VITAMIN D
Requirements Of Birds Are
Of Great Importance.
BY Prof. c. S. Plat, Associate Poultry
Husbandman, Rutgers University.
WNU Service


A lack of sufficient vitarnin D in
rations for laying focks can be de-
termined far more readily by egg
shell quality than in the number of
eggs produced. Egg shells become
weak before production is in any
way impaired when vitamin D is
deficient. With an adequate supply
of the vitamin, the number Of
cracked and weak-shelled eggs pro-
duced in a day should not exceed 3
per cent. This means that with a
collection Of 400 eggs daily, there
should not be more than about one
dozen cracked or weak-shelled eggs.
If the number exceeds this, the in
dications are that the vitamin D re-
quirements of the birds are not be-
ing properly met.
To correct this condition, the cod
liver oil content of the ration should
be increased. Normally, the use of
2 per cent of a high grade, natural
cod liver oil in the mash will pro-
vide a sufficient amount of the vita
min for good results. If this amount
is being used and the number Of
cracked eggs still exceeds 8 per
cent, it is possible that the quality Of
the oil is not up to standard.
Egg production alone is not very
good criterion of the needs of the
birds for vitamin D., because under
most conditions the birds obtain a
sufficient amount through the ordi-
nary open windows of a poultry
house to meet their requirements
for egg production.

Many Eggs Do Not Hatch

About 3OO,000,000 good eggs a
year, which would be enough to feed
thousands of persons, are wasted
every year because they will not
hatch. Most of these can be saved
in edible condition, according to the
claims, by device recently patent
ed which will detect whether an in
cubated egg will produce chicken
or not before it has a chance to
spoil. 1t is claimed that from Is to
20 per cent of all the eggs set an
nually in the United States never
hatch.

Julia responded distinctly.
"And why not? She's dar-

"Come on, Barbara, let's dance"
someone said and she was swept
onto the floor. Down below, in the
harbor, the ships rode at anchor,
and the water was so bright in the
moonlight it shone as though it
had been polished for its part in
the maritime set. The Statue of
Liberty held her torch resignedly,
the great buildings, sprinkled here
and there with square panes of
light, marched at the harbor's
edge. A boat, far out, held a light
or two. Some day, soon now,
Garry would be coming back.

Barbara said when the musicians
paused.

They sat and talked for an hour.
Barbara, who had taken a dislike
to Jack the first time she had met
him, still did not approve of him.
He was ruthless where she had
been taught to be careful. But
she began to understand. the mag

telephone interrupted. At the
same moment the door bell

she asked. TN look after the

"Cable for you." a boys voice
told her through the speaking
tube.
"Oh, bring it up!" The words
gathered wings and flew down the
stairs. She opened her pocket

hall. She wouldn't open the mes

Barbara looked at the rose-red

looked down at the great fireplace
where logs would begin to glow
in another month or two: at the
gate-legged table which would be
gala with her yellow cups and
saucers and plates and low brass
candlehOlders. It was her king

upset the pattern. But Julia was
her cousin-Julia's father had
reared her when her own parents
died, though it was her fathers
money that had helped finance
the rearing. There might have
been enough left for her last two
college years if Julia's mother had
not wanted Julia to have some
boarding school at her Cousins ex-
pense.

CHAPTER II

AS JULIA finished the taunt
she had flung so brightly at Ruth
Merryweather, a little silence grew
wider and wider, like a circi" that
is made when a stone is thrown
into water. It was a tense quiet
ness in which half dozen people
sought for the right words to say.
While they hunted. Julia said
again:
ut must be very hard to want
a man and not be able to get him
when all your life you have had
everything else you want.
Bill Jameson spoke first, his
face flushed and his voice deter
'minedly cheerful. Where did
YOU get such a cock-eyed idea,
Julia? You flatter me! If there's
any hope in Ruth's direction, I'll
be strutting around like a Beau
Brumme, looking for new con-
quests"
"You read the columnists, do
you, Miss Kingsley" Jack Met
calf asked. Then, before she
could answer: 'Such an opinion
as you hold sounds like something
they manufactured. If man buys
a chocolate soda for a girl in this
town, it gets around that they're
starting to the city hail."
Even Julia sensed that some
thing was wrong. Through the
fog that had crossed her mind, as
she slipped the drink in the small
glass, she had known that she was
being too daring. Now she
shrugged slim shining white Shout
ders. as she said: "Sorry if I
trespassed on forbidden territory.
Consider me back in my own back
yard again."
Barbara sat white and dark
eyed. She knew that Julia's
meaning was based on funda-
mental jealousy of this girl who
had access to the material riches
which the Kingsley family never
had had. Under the stimulus of
the drink. Julia had spoken out
loud, that was all. But to Ruth
it would appear that the whole
world was talking about her and
the man who had kissed her light
ly and said goodby when Marie
smiled at him.
Marie-cool, inscrutable eyes
observed her. She had black hair,
shining and a little curly, black
syes, a pretty face for a china
doll-yes, a rather plump china
doll. Men loved in strange places,
though.

was sweet, not swing. BILL and L

WARNING GIVEN
AS TO FEEDING
FORAGE CROPS
May Be Enough Prussic Acid
In Some To Cause Cattle
To Die

Sufficient amounts of prussic acid
to cause poisoning and death in cattle
and other animals may be present in
some common forage crops grown in
Maryland. Among the crops most
likely to produce such results, they
list sorghum, Sudan grass, and John
son grass. Choke cherry and wild
black cherry are two other plants,
which, they say, have caused many
deaths among cattle and sheep in this
State.
They state that the leaves are much
higher in prussic acid than the stems,
and that dry weather more than
doubles the percentage of the poison
in Sudan grass, sorghum and other
grasses.
