TOO MUCH SUPERVISION
By EMMA GARY WALLACE

We are all familiar with the story
Of the mother who said to her little
boys nurse 60 and find out what
Johnny is doing, and tell him he
mustn't"
Very many times that's about what
our supervision amounts to. We keep
watch of the child, only taking part
in what he is doing when we want to
give negative or adverse suggestion.
That is always to be regretted for it
tends to check initiative and spon-
taneity.
When our children go to school, they
are expected to sit, to stand and to
march in the same manner and at
the same time as the other children
They are practically regimented, that
IS, brought into a sort of military rou-
tine. Little by little they become &C
customed to this procedure and do
what the others around them do as
nearly as they can-no more and no
less. They are constantly supervised
and they know it.
DR.. Harold Ellis Jones, director of
the Institute of Child Welfare. Uni
versity of California, made a seven
year test of 200 school children. He
tells us that an interesting phase of
the study was the maintenance of a
clubhouse very near the school grounds
The school children patronized this
with great pleasure and enthusiasm
He says, They flocked there to read
to play checkers, to lounge about and
to do nothing. We found this free
play situation an extraordinarily in
teresting one and most informative as
to factors which are important for
social adjustment" AS a result of his
seven years study, DR.. Jones reached
the conclusion that the classroom with
its RECOMMENDATION does not afford the
best system for the education of youth
Comparing results Of such regimen
tation with those obtained from meth
DDS used in good nursery schools and
kindergartens, he came to the final
conclusion that the child learns more
and develops more rapidly where he
is free and active. The good nursery
school and kindergarten encourage the
child to exercise his natural inclina-

eggs Of tapeworms. These will infest
the growing pullets to degree which
will retard their development and i'm
pair their future egg producing ability
Whenever worms are known to be
present in flock and the soil be-
comes contaminated. regular worm
treatments can be given, and the colony
house or growing shelter should be
moved to clean range frequently.
Lice may harm the growing pullets,
and these can be eliminated very easily
by applying louse-killing preparation
to the roosts. Mites can be kept away
by painting the roosting quarters with
mite repellent. One or two applica-
tons throughout the summer usually
Is sufficient to protect the flock until
it is placed In the laying house. Keep
an eye on the growing flock all the
way to maturity, for unless the pullets
have an opportunity to develop nor
mally they will not be profitable egg
producers.

HORDES OF RATS
INVADING STATE

Hordes Of rats are invading Mon
tana, D. D. Green. chief Of the preda-
tory animal and rodent division Of the
federal fish and vildlife service. de-
clared at Helena.
Rats are rapidly becoming one Of
the states chief rodent problems and
only lack Of men Is preventing the
service from waging a concentrated
war on them" Green said. The small
brown house rat has a good foothold In
the state now and Is spreading every
year. carrying disease with it to more
Montana dwellings.
TT Is every ones problem-a prob
lem OF health. The increase Is espe-
cially rapid in northeastern and cen
trail counties. and in Fergus county in
particular it has become a county wide
menace.
Another rodent giving ranchers
much trouble in the southeast is the
kangaroo rat. a rodent that strips grass
Of its seed in the summer and fall and
carries 1t to its den. thus killing out
large areas OF range and pasture. In
some places forest service test plots Of
grass, protected by tight wire fences,
have been riddled by the animals. Al
ready Custer, Garfield. McCone and
Prairie county residents have had to
take eradication steps.
"Overrunning the eastern part Of the
state in ever-increasing numbers are
the prairie dogs. so common in the
early days that they attracted nation
wide attention. These and the black
tail prairie dog are increasing at an
alarming rate in Carter county. so
fast that Carter, Custer and Fallon
counties all have had to use county
money in cooperation with our serv-
ices for eradication.
Yellowstone county has asked for
help in Graduating prairie dogs, as has
Rosebud county. In both counties the
dogs have come back after nearly COM
plete control several years ago.
In all parts OF western Montana,
photographers are a primary problem
and some parts of eastern Montana are
becoming infested. General forage de-
struction. especially Of alfalfa, is be-
coming serious and soil erosion result
ing from the animals burrows in irri-
eating bitches, pastures and ranges
and all steep slopes"

MOntana's Fiscal
Affairs Excellent,
Auditor REPORTS

Montana entered the 1871 42 fiscal
year in excellent financial condition,
the report of Auditor John j. Holmes
showed
June 30, he said, the state had a net
cash balance in all funds Of s10O10,-
467.49. had investments of sl9,267-
537.53 and bonded debt of s9128,-
72475
During the fiscal year the state cut
its bonded debt nearly 81 100000 and
increased its investments about ST.
10000.
The financial report, delayed by June
claims not filed until weeks after they
were issued, showed the states net cash
balance was slightly more than s3,OOO,-
600 under July l, 1910. However, this
was explained by the fact that the
state unemployment compensation fund
dropped during the year and invest
ments were larger.

WARTIME SHOCK
due TO MIND

At Camp Plattsburg N. Y. in 1918,
there was medical ward full of men
with bent backs. some of them nearly
doubled over.
For months they were treated as
medical cases, while their buddies left
for French battlefields. The bent
backs improved little or not at all.
Then came the armistice. A few
days later those men stood up. their
backs straight as ramrods.
That's one strange story of wartime
shell shock" There was nothing phys
ically wrong with those men. Fear and
emotional strain produced PHYSICAL
disability, and they weren't taking. The
wars end removed the fear. and the
disability.
Will modern war with its scream
ing dive-bombers. its shattering ma
chimes produce more shell shocked
veterans than world war one? Two

Many poultry raisers who lavish the
best Of care on their chicks tend to
relax In their efforts as soon as the
young stock Is placed on the range.
The best is none too good for the
chicks. while too often the growing
flock is forced to get along with what
may be second best. The chicks enjoy
the finest starting mashes that money
on the range the mash many times Is
omitted, and the growing stock Is
forced to continue its development on
whole grains available on the average
farm.
II there Is an abundance Of insect
life on the range to provide the neces-
sary protein to supplement these grains,
this plan may work reasonably well.
At least 1t seems to work q long a

USED AUTO OIL
MAY HEAT HOME

So you'd like to save on fuel for heat
and cooking?
All you need is a pair of pliers. a
small roll of stovepipe wire, a ball of
ordinary Irvine, handful of rock wool
and pan of automobile case drain
ings.
Those are the directions outlined by
c. H. Lowell, st. Louis advertising man,
who has developed and submitted to
the government a novel fuel-burning
device which he claims would conserve
millions of gallons of waste oil prod
ucts and save users $1,000, 900 a year in
fuel costs.
Roll wool into a wad the size of a
croquet ball, tie it first with string,
then wire tightly and soak in a pint
or SO of used oil from the family auto
mobile. That's all there is to it. The
ball is ready to burn in any type coal
or wood stove, fireplace or furnace.
One ball-costing cents or less to
make-can be burned over and over
again. The wire protects its shape
through numerous refueling operations.
Lowell asserted that on the basis of
actual tests, three units in a medium
size stove proved sufficient to cook the
average family meal, while two or three
units, replaced hourly, would keep an
average living room at a comfortable
temperature when it is freezing out
side
The average burning life of a single
unit Is one hour, and to 10 units
are enough to provide proper rotation
Tor continuous burning, he explained.
One woman, conducting a kitchen
experiment, reported three units cooked
her meal including oven-baked bread
and pie.
Fuel consumption is approximately
one pint per hour" Lowell stated, add
ing that 1t should be just the trick for
campers.
In passing the idea along to Wash
ington, Lowell suggested the govern
ment start saving used oil drained
from automobiles. trucks and tractors
and make 1t available to small fire
users, especially in poorer classes, on
a cost basis.
Both OPM and the office of price
administration expressed interest and
the latter informed Lowell a staff of
experts was studying its possibilities.
According to the United States sta
ttstical abstract, more than $50 O0O, 900
gallons Of motor lubricants are pro-
duced annually in the refineries of the
United States" Lowell declared.
Assuming that one-half Of this
amount could be recovered and used
for fuel purposes. 1t would supply the
normal fuel needs for upwards of q
half million small homes"
