Burglar Alarm On
Hen House Planned
To Aid POultrVmen

College Station, Raleigh, July
29.-It's getting more difficult
all the time for the chicken
stealer; now, poultrymen are
beginning to put burglar alarms
on their hen houses.
C. F. Parrish, extension pOul-
tryman at State college, in his
list of suggestions for the North
Carolina pOultryman during
August included a description of
a new alarm just designed by
the agricultural engineering de-
partment at the college.
The system is inexpensive,
practical, and can be installed O
the average farm for $40 to SIS.
The plan provides for the use of
dry cell batteries if electric cur
rent is not available.
III Parrish said the burglar
alarm is easy to install and posi-
tive in operation. The average
farmer or farm boy, with in
StructiOnS from his county
agent or some other person
familiar with the system, could
make the installation easily and
quickly. Plans may be secured
from the State college Extension
Poultry Department, or from
county and home agents.

London, July 29-(AP)-British
officials said today that Sir Robert

Across a strange country? Where
men were being killed? Wearing a

gamely, and walked on.
The horse was hitched at a rail
about 100 yards away. She knew
instantly that it was good animal.
She hadn't been reared on a Ken
lucky farm for nothing. She had
been Eat home'' in a saddle since
her sixth birthday. Rogers watched
her mount little diffidently, then
in few moments he grinned.
"You can ride" he declared, sat

aren't you, ma'am. Like George"
She smiled at him, and thanked
him again for his kindness. She
wanted to ask him a thousand
questions, more or less. Her alert
eyes had noted that most of the
villagers in this little railroad sta
tion town of Blanco were watching
them. Strangers here must be a
source OF interest, she reasoned.
She saw that Blanco was no

that there was a difference in the

No Effect on Hair
Many of us ascribe powers to the
sun which it does not possess. The
effect Of sunlight on hair growth is
practically nothing one way or an
other. There is a large school of
thought that holds to the doctrine
that badness is due to wearing hats
and keeping the scalp from being
exposed to the sun and air. But an
equally vigorous school maintains
that sunlight is bad for the hair,
Actual experiments, however, have
been made which prove that it has
no effect on the hair one way or the
other.
Sunlight is real medicine though
for certain diseases. It is neces-
sary factor in life. The most marvel
GUS effects were obtained by Roller,
the Swiss physician, in treating
tuberculosis Of the bones and joints.
Practically no other treatment was
used and with most of his patients
he dispensed with casts or other
forms of support Of every kind.
Fistulas and discharging sinuses
healed up and stopped running, the
bones healed and the general health
was vastly improved.
It is notable, however, that an
other form Of tuberculosis, Of the
lungs, is not improved; in fact, usu-
ally is made worse by too much ex-
posure to sunlight.
ricketts, Related
The disease which is particularly
related to sunlight, however, is
ricketts,. This disease Of children
only is caused by the inability of the
body to utilize the calcium and phos-
phorus salts in building bones. Even
when there is plenty of calcium and
phosphorus in the food, it cannot be
utilized unless there is also the vita
min called vitamin D. Vitamin D is
made in animal bodies by the effect
of sunshine on the skin. Vitamin D
is formed in the skin as result Of
exposure to sunlight, is carried to

ICAME across a curious piece of
lore the other day in the form Of a
quotation from Herodotus. He had
visited famous battlefield where
the Persians had fought with the
Egyptians. Among the skulls scat
tered around he noticed that the
skull bones of the Persians were
very thin. You could throw stones
through them. But the Egyptian
skulls were thick and hard. He
ascribed this difference to the fact
that the Egyptians exposed their
bare heads to the sun. They not
only had no headgear, but even
shaved the head. The result was a
thicker and tougher craniunle
I cannot agree with Herodotus,
even assuming that he had his facts
right. There is no reason to suppose
that sunlight has any effect on the
skull bones directly. It would be

CHAPTER TWO

FOR A LONG half minute Lo-
rena Hamilton just stood there and
stared up at the westerners, trying
to clarity her mind. The whole sit
uation was so strange that she
couldn't quite adjust herself. She
would never have believed, in ad-
vance, that such conditions as
these existed out here. And yet
facts are facts.
"You are certainly courteous, Mr..
Rogers" she began, eventually.
"Shot, mean" She remembered,
and glanced at the other men. "It
is pleasant to find one so generous
with offers Of help, but"
THAT ain - that's no thing,
na'am. I'd be run out of Arizona,
and deserve it, if I didn't do what
1 could"
II understand. Hospitality is a
law in Kentucky also. I should have
been unhappy without it out here!"
That's a fact, ma'am. The
Braces have always proved it, let
me say. They come from good
stock. Now as to your ride-would
you ruther send an escort of two
or three boys, ma'am? To sort of
look after you?"
mo! Certainly not. IF you
thought it safe at first, then you
needn't think I am afraid, and need
somebody just to nurse my fears."' =
She said it with some asperity,
and Shot Rogers smiled in approv-
al. Two Of the other men nodded
also. Here was a girl with nerve.
That's all right, then," Shot de-
clared. 'It won't take you long to
fit in out here, Miss Hamilton, Il
can see. Anyway, my gun there, it's
dependable. You won't have to use
it, but if you did, then you could
rely on it, ma'am." +
"I'm ever so thankful. But all
Of my shooting has been with a
rifle.s
''Then the Braces or nell learn

horse now, ma am, and head on
out. Anybody stop you, you tell 'enn
Shot Rogers said you was all
right. They'll. know my gun. and
belt, and my horse. Nothing to- be
afraid Of. Nobody out here going to
bother no woman. If you set out
to surprise George, why you go on
and do it. You tell George me and
four men will be out tomorrow
and help ride down whoever's back
of this killing. You tell George
that, Miss Hamilton"
He spoke intently, his eyes look
ing a bit hard. Lorena noted the
set of his chin. He still held his
hat, so that his tousled hair was
moving il >'the desert breeze. She
noted that it was almost sandy OF
color, straight and rebellious. And
becoming. She decided that Mr..
Shot Rogers must be a very COM
peter1t young man. Dressed better,
he might even be handsome.
"Oh, thank you, indeed I will!''

is consciousness of the hearts ac.
tion. In people over 40 it is common
to have the heart miss a beat every
now and then. This is usually M.
ticeable, and constitutes palpitation.
1t is not dangerous. Treatment

is no danger.
