AS the beginnings of European
war unroll themselves like some
unrealistic slow-motion newsreel it
is becoming clear that the America
which watches is different Amer
ica from the one that watched Eu-
rope burst into flames in 1914.
Then we were shocked, faseinat-
ed. horror stricken. We were like
children, for except for the brief
Spanish episode, war was nothing
to the average American but a
faraway tale OF Gettysburg and
Antietam told by grandfather. As
horror followed horror and all Eu-
rope redeemed with blood we were
emotionally like a nerve-end barred
to the touch. Every new contact
with the reality of modern war sent
its agony deep into our souls.
But there is more and more evi-
dence that this European war is
not to repeat the pattern of The
last one. Instead, it begins more
or less where the last one left Off
In 1914, the soldiers marched off
amid cheers and defiant shouts of
mach PariS!" and "A Berlini" To-
day there are no flowers stuck in
the gun barrels. The mood of Ger
man. Frenchman, Briton alike, is
grim. determined perhaps. but
somewhat sullen. 1t is the mood
OF late 1918.
So Americans. Watching this hor-
ror spread again over Europe, watch
it not so much in the spirit of
shock and open-mouthed fascina-
tion that marked 1914, but more
in the spirit of disillusion that came
in 1919 and which has mounted
since
Are We to be shocked by new
tales of blood-letting, who have
read nothing for the past 10 years
but the slaughter of q million men
IN Spain and the butchery of the
uncounted hundreds of thousands
in China? Are we to be surprised
when civilians die in air raids,
after Spain and China and Ethiopia
have dinned into our ears for a
decade their lesson that this is
war?
Those who remember the Lusi-
tania can scarcely believe today
the way in which the United States
took i'll its stride the sinking of
the Athena. Few were shocked
fewer still cried for revenge. True,
no Americans died, yet for two
days it seemed certain that they
had. And not a tithe Of the flood

OF one OF my pictures. She even
waxed so enthusiastic as to COM
pare it with a painting by Millet.
What effect do you suppose her
praise had on me. 1 doubled. treb-
bled. my interest in photography
II aroused IN me desire to take
really fine pictures. bought cou-
pie of books and studied light, tim
ing, lenses, composition. In other
words, a little praise produced a
magical effect
Why have I told you this? Be-
cause you can apply the same tech
nique when dealing with your
friends, your children. your sweet
hearts, your pupils, your customers.
For example, the manager OF a
restaurant OF a big department
store i'll Philadelphia had kit
chen boy who was dirty and care
less. He had no interest whatever
in his work. The manager told me
that he repeatedly scolded the boy
and threatened to fire him. Did
that help? Sure. it helped. until
the managers back was turned.
Finally the manager resolved to try
something different. He watched
this boy clean the tables and scrub
the pots and pans. The boy did a
good job. The manager patted him
on the shoulder and praised him
for his Improvement. He told him
he couldn't ask for a better "as-
sistant." He praised him before
others. He even wrote letter to
the boys mother, congratulating
her on the kind of boy she had
reared. What do you suppose hap
pened? That boy was transformed.
He took pride in doing a perfect
job. He became cheerful and CO.
operative.
A little honest praise did what
months OF criticism, nagging, and
threatening had failed to accom-
plish. A little honest praise made
him want to do better.
Why don't you, just as an ex-
pertinent try using sincere, hon.
est, enthusiastic, appreciation on
the people with whom you deal?
What could you hope to get out
of the experiment? Four things:
i. An intensely interesting study
OF human relations. 2. 1t will make
people appreciate you more. 8. 1t
will increase your influence with
others. 1. 1t will help you to get
the things you want in life-love,
cooperation, loyalty, happiness;
and perhaps an increase in earn
ing power. Isn't it worth while try
ing?
Draw your chairs up close, girls.
i've got something for you. Would
you like TO know about a town
where there are thirteen single
men for every single woman? A
town where you could have dates
every night, where men would be
falling over one another for the
privilege of being with you? There
is such a place.

POULTRY


History tells us that Columbus
introduced chickens to America on
his second voyage. The first COM
mercial incubators were operated in
1896. But the baby chick industry
really dates from March Is, 1918,
when the first permit was issued
to distribute chicks by mail.
The logical way to start in poul-
try raising is to purchase baby
chicks of good quality from a re-
liable nearby hatchery. Hatcheries
have developed to the point where
they carefully select the focks, test
and Gull the birds for the good
qualities and the hatchery flock
owner has the advantage of know
ing the source of the chicks.
In 1885 poultry and eggs ran fifth
as a national gross cash income.
Two-thirds of this income is from
the sale of eggs. Chickens are rails
ed on eighty-five per cent of all
farms in the United States.
80
Gross cash income per bird should
be about $500 each year. About
three-fourths is from the sale of
eggs.
Wet mash is more palatable than
dry mash and serves to stimulate
the appetite. One gallon of skim
milk has the same value for egg
production as one pound of meat
scrap. Liquid milk either sour or
sweet is a good source of protein.
All utensils should be kept ex-
tremely clean and sanitary.
Insulation of house has bene-
fetal effect on winter egg produc-
ton.
AS litter one may use straw,
ground corn cobs, shavings, peat
moss or other similar substances.
The litter should not be over four
inches deep and should be turned
frequently to aid in the drying. 1t
is important to keep the litter dry.
