Poultry growers who have
hens that persist in breaking
eggs will find that this bad hab-
it can be broken by, cutting a
small piece off the end of the
bill, says Miss H. E. Cushman,
extension poultry specialist at
Montana State college e: Tipping
the bill is like cutting a finger
nail close to the quick and
helps break the habit in a hen"
she said. Other suggestions are
to blow out an egg, mix the in
terror with red pepper and suck
it into the egg. Leave the red
pepper egg in the nest and re-
move all other eggs.

Areentino-on Empire" Within South America
 THE voice of Argentina was ~ heard with commanding force In the Pan-American Conference just closed at Lima. The sprawl- ing country of the pampas Is emerging as one of the great na- tions of South America. and there are reasons.
 For Argentina is virtually an empire in itself. It is almost one- third the size of the United States. With only one-seventh of the total area of the continent and one. seventh of the population, Argen- tina commands one-half of the business, owns 60 per cent of the automobiles, nearly 50 per cent of the telephones, provides nearly 60 per cent of the passengers and freight carried by rail, spends more on education than all of the rest of the republics together.

Corn and beef are becoming major ex. ports of the Argentine likewise, and already In the United States farmers are learning the extent of the republics agricultural pro- gram.
 Argentina Is recognized as one of the wealthiest farming areas in the world. yet only Q per cent of It's total area is under cultivation, about .60,000,000 acres.

The Senior Loop Is in action again this evening beginning at 6:tS.

 Saturday night the powerful Tor rington Wonders invade the local surface in Q return engagement with the club Varsity. The Wonders en- erged with c one point overtime decision last time the two met, but Captain LaPointe of the Clubbers refuses to accept this as c guar Antee that the Torrington lads can do it again. The Bombers will op- pose the Naugatuck Zephers and the Bulldogs will line up against one of the states leading teams in the pre- lininary attractions. Dancing to the swing music of The Matters, will start at ten o'clock.
 Much speculation Is taking place e to the winner of the Interme- diate tournament, which will take place at the club following the Sem Tor tourney. A large number of lo- cal and surrounding teams are eager to get going to show that they rule supreme in their class in this part of the state. The average age of the team cannot exceed i7 with no member above i9 and none below .1l. Blanks may be secured from or by phoning the Boys Club and giv- ing your address.

William shook his head. How can two
be first?"
He turned off the dome light to save the
battery. The wind had taken the thunder and
the lightning on down the river. Rain pattered
drowsily on the roof. The scent of gardenias
was very pleasant :. William closed his
eyes for moment.
When he opened them again Ike looked out
through a rain-dappled windshield to see the
first ray of morning sun against the silver tip
of the far bridge tower.
Brighter still was the blond head that
nestled on his right arm. William held his
breath. 1t was the first time anything like
that had ever happened to him. He drew his
numb arm from around her shoulders and
stepped out onto the rain washed concrete.
''Colly." William let his breath out and
peered into the car. She looked so innocent
and trusting, sleeping there. And he'd fixed
her car 50 she didn't have chance. Pinpricks
of circulation crept down into Williams arm,
and with it his conscience began to sting.
For long time he leaned against the bridge
railing and fought his conscience. 1t was still

bridge? He felt like a heel. Finally he turned
While the blonde was still asleep he'd put that

so nice last night"
William squirmed. The Early Byrd was the
worm, and he was caught.

like gardenias.

corner. II was scared"
"Darned little fool You might have been
blown off the bridge. You're dripping"
William helped her squirm out of a sodden
topcoat and gave her clean handkerchief to
dry her hair. She dabbed at her damp waves
while the rain drummed against the steel top
of the car. All the imps of the storm were
holding dance up there. William began to be

he PRODUCED the lunch he'd brought along,
and turned host. They became acquainted
between bites of sandwiches and crashes of
thunder. William told her he had a selling job
on a commission basis, so it was easy to knock
off work when he wanted to be first man at
new bridges and such. The blonde wanted the
publicity because she was trying to break in
as photographer model.
THAT should be easy" said William, with
your looks"
She smiled. you can be nice - when you
want to be-"

"All's fair in love and war;" she dimpled.
William coldly ignored her. Nobody had
to tell him that this was war. A breeze ruffled
the bright bunting that decorated the bridge.
The view of the river was beautiful, but he
didn't see any of it.
The sun lowered slowly. Lights appeared
on the opposite shore and winked at William
while he concentrated on campaign of battle.
Trouble was he had never had much to do
with girls. Girls and his hobby didn't mix
You can't tell a girl you're too tired to keep
date because. for instance, you sat up the
night before to meet a new ferry boat. He
didn't know what made girls tick, but he did
know what made motor go. That might help.
BY midnight the sky began to take in its
stars. Over in the northwest. lightning flickered
behind black thunderheads. There wasn't a
sound from the blonde William waited another
half hour, while the storm rumbled closer.
then he went over to the little sedan and
stealthily lifted its hood. He was smiling, and
there was little metal gadget in his pocket
when he raced the storm back to his own car.
Wind sang through the bridge cables and
flung big drops of rain against the windshield.
A streak of lightning stabbed at the river and
blacked out into crash of thunder that shook
Williams ears.
The whole car trembled as the wind tore
at it. At one moment the coupe gave sharp
lurch. He thought it was going to blow clear
over. Rain and wind filled the car as the door
on his right clicked open. then slammed shut
The seat sagged as somebody sat beside him.

the wheel.

A redfaced policeman advanced across the
new cement of the approach and eyed the
tangled cars. The official gaze turned to
William and the blonde.

The blonde smiled. Her blue eyes crinkled
at the corners and caused peppering of tiny
freckles to crowd into tight little colony
across her turned-up nose.
