Keep Poultry Eating
During Cold Weather

Do your chickens turn I'D their
noses at feed when the weather is
cold? Many local poultrymen do
find difficulty keeping up feed con-
sumption in laying pens during a
prolonged cold SMELL, reports George
K. Vapaa.
Try tempting the hens appetite
with a light feeding of oats-sav 2
to 3 pounds per 100 birds as the
first meal in the morning. This
helps get the birds down off the
rOosts and moving about the peu.
Vapaa points out.
On very cold days, when mash
consumption is down considerable.
q heavy feeding of pellets for that
day-enOugh to make up the normal
intake of breeder mash-will often
bring total consumption up to nor
NAL.
Since this extreme weather sell
dom lasts longer than two or three
days in this state. the heavy pellet
feeding can be gradually dropped
back to normal as the weather i'm
proves.

publicity staff of United Artists was bargain
ing for better working conditions. They were
at that time VIGOROUSLY underpaid. As
further claim upon Chaplin's supposed SYM
pathies, they belonged to left-wing union.
At a critical point in the bargaining they
appealed to Chaplin, as halloween of
the company. He never even answered
their letter.
Novelist Waldo Frank, who met him in the
early 30's, expected to greet human and
humane genius. But although Chaplin has
always gone out of his way to be gracious to
literary people. Frank found himself repelled
by Chaplin's "harshness and ruthless egoism."
Max Eastman, shrewd and politically

sonal anarchist, impervious to any rules save
of his own making.

in the early two-reel comedies. the adorable
little fellow the world later grew to love. He
was, in fact. rather mean cuss, unsentimen-
tai to the point of cruelty. He held out the
hand of friendship and the other hand con-
tanned custard pie.
Fortunately Chaplins artistry was superior
to his intentions. The character of Charlie"
developed, almost as if it had life of its own,
into the pathetic, friendly outcast, capable of
tenderness and self-sacrifce. The more it
matured. however, the less Chaplin seemed to
like him.
What he particularly resented was the
identification of Charts" with himself. When
Chaplin issued sound version of City
Lights a few years after the original release,
ads were prepared which read, Charlie Chap
lin, in his great comedy, ETC." Chaplin, who
supervises every detail of his pictures, includ-
ing the selling of them, drew cold blue
pencil through the Charlie" substituted

the world over, but "Limelight," which had
some comedy, and which was boycotted in
this country, was a terrific success abroad,
where it may well gross over $6,O0O.OOO.
Chaplin cannot hold liquor and therefore
rarely drinks. But in his enthusiasm over this
pictures success, he permitted himself few

ence his true venom against Charlie poured
out.

End Of Myth
WHAT does this do to the myth that Chaplin
is a humanitarian? To the theory that -
whatever his errors and excuses - he is
true champion of the poor and unwanted?
Chaplin, himself, long ago gave the lie to
this myth. The aim of my comedies" he
said back in 1920. ''is to b,Hlesque and satirize
the human race.
MY respect for the human race is not one
hundred per cent. There are days when con-
tact with any human being makes me physi-
cally ill.,
People who have tried to appeal to the sup
posedly soft side of Chaplin's nature have
been sadly disillusioned. Some years back the

life
Chaplin's GOODNESS and indifference to rules
have been most marked in his love life A cruel
streak has been revealed in his relations with
women. An ardent wooer at the outset, he
seemed callous in concluding his affairs. On
two occasions he has been involved in public
scandal; the details as published in the press
made him seem ridiculous as well as hard
boiled.
With a world of beautiful and cultured
women at his feet. his preference has been for
very young girls mere teen-agers and not
very bright ones for the most part. 1t may
well be that. when he later tangled with the
McCarran Act, he feared examination of his
morals more than an investigation into his
political activities.
