That is one of tiie hard tilings in every movement. The first tiling^ we should like to .stop on the part of the dry con- tingent is brag. Here Attorney General Daugherty discloses to a •surprised public that there is a marked improvement in the situ- ation. He reasons from the num- ber of cases tried in the courts and the heavier penalties. There are fortunately a great many facts winch can be cited quite properly to show improvement. On the other hand the situation in some respects grows worse., The l'lood of liquor is unabated. One difficulty which confronts jTman who tries to make any es- timate of .our progress is the tre- mendous difference between lo- •nlitics. In many a locality the general situation is tremendously improved. Saloons have been jlosed and the speak-easies have »een driven so far under ground as to amount to little. For others, as in darkest Pennsylvania, the raffic goes on at the old' rate. Grand Juries will not indict and petit juries will not convict. In ..uch a situation it is possible for a thorough partisan to cite quite honestly plenty of facts on his \ui side. | 'No honest man can look over the. whole country wiiout coming to the conclusion that there has been an enormous gain from the partial suppression of the liquor traffic. The testimony of big business men is overwhelmingly to the effect that in general work- ing men are more sober; that comparatively very few of them fail to turn up Monday morning; tiiat the Sayings Bank deposits have increased tremendously; and that in gcueral.as aneconom- .c measure, in spite of the numer- ous and gross violations of the ..inhibition policy has been a narked success. The real estate nun, who wondered what could ! be done with the vast number of houses vacated by saloons, have added their testimony. The j places have practically all been of obedience and ( enforcement rented for honest businesses with and that this way lies- not ehiefly increased profit. A Bishop' of the through the stricter enforcement Episcopal church told us the by officials, but through the other day. that the effecJL.even in change of public opinion which 1 the wet, section in which he lived the situation mustcaus^. .

' On the ther hand in our judg- ment all of these -benefits cannot, for an instant be considered to counterbalance the dreadful evil that comes from the corruption, the crimes of violence, the con- spiracies, and the general diarc- jrard of law which are the out- standing features of the present situation. All of the more thought ful men agree on one thing, which- ever side they may be on, and that is the present situation is ut- terly destructive of 'the founda- tions of political morality and must eventually make our law breaking nation so much worse; than it is now as to make us an awful example for all civilized nations.

their friends. That is one of tiiehard tilings in every movement.The first tiling^ we should like to.stop on the part of the dry con-tingent is brag. Here AttorneyGeneral Daugherty discloses to a•surprised public that there is amarked improvement in the situ-ation. He reasons from the num-ber of cases tried in the courtsand the heavier penalties. Thereare fortunately a great manyfacts winch can be cited quiteproperly to show improvement.On the other hand the situation insome respects grows worse., Thel'lood of liquor is unabated.

One difficulty which confrontsjTman who tries to make any es-timate of .our progress is the tre-mendous difference between lo-•nlitics. In many a locality thegeneral situation is tremendouslyimproved. Saloons have beenjlosed and the speak-easies have»een driven so far under groundas to amount to little. For others,as in darkest Pennsylvania, theraffic goes on at the old' rate.

Grand Juries will not indict andpetit juries will not convict. In..uch a situation it is possible fora thorough partisan to cite quitehonestly plenty of facts on his

THE FAIRY

SYNOP8U.—On tbe tanka «tthe Wabash stand Texie Colinand.Jack Warhope, youn* andvery much In love. Texie la th«only daughter of old Pap ttlmon.rich man and money-lender. JackIs the orphan bound boy of PapSimon, who had foreclosed •moricain on the Warhope estate.At Brat Tetle and Jack talk sadlyof Ken Colin, the girl's missing-brother. Then Jack aaya that inten 'days Ills servitude will beover, that he will ride out Intothe bl« world toaeck his fortune.Both know what that will meanto them. Texle and Jack talk ofthe red lock of "Red Colin." In-herited by Ken. And Jack sayahe's coming back as soon a* hefinds void In California. Thenarrives the new preacher. Rev.lCaleb Hopkins. Pap Simon In-troduces the villagers to the newpreacher, who waa a college mateof Ken. At supper at the Colinhome the preacher tells how theboy killed a gambler and disap-peared. His father attributesKen's fall from grace to his-redlock of hair. Then Pap Simonhaa a sort of stroke, brought onby reading a letter from Ken,"somewhere in New York," whocurses his father on his deathbed. A postscript by • anotherhand aaya he. Is dead. At the Vil-lage store and post office tiogeBelden, a newcomer, says he sawthe new parson with his armaround Texle. Jack licks him,shoots a pistol from his hand andmakes him say he was mistaken.The preacher and the villagersgo finning;. Jack discovers thepreacher carries a six-gun. Afootprint on a concealed house-boat Nta the preacher's boot. Adrunken ruffian disturb* a vil-lage festival and stabs Jack Inthe shoulder. The preachermakes him leave.

CHAPTER VII—Continued.

The morning was far gone when thewoodsman finished his task at thefeed-pens.

As lie stood: Jeanlng against thefence, the events of the day beforecrossed his mind—the heelprlnts onthe dusty deck of the concealed house-boat; the /Ivory-handled six-gun; the•park of flint that had transformed thepeering eyes of the preacher when befaced the. desperado's ' knife. Fromthis, hia mind reverted t,o the words ofBelden about what he had seen In thelittle park.

A face, rose before him—a face com-pelling In Its easy suavity—that. Inaplte of Its studious severity, seemedto have a strange fascination forTexle. He knew she bad let him walkhome with her from the festival—aprivilege that meant, more In the Flat-woods than anywhere else In theworld. A deep brenth came up out ofMa breast; his hand gripped the fencerail hard.

But many an Insistent task lay wait-In;. The thought roused him. As herallied his arm to put on his hat, thesweat got nt the cut In his shoulderand stuns him.

He hud Intended to hnul in someshock corn from the bottom*. , Hefrowned toward the wagon; pluckedthe blouse loose about his shoulder;finally went up Into the woods to In-spect a string of rail fence that wouldhave to be repaired'before the stockrattle could ho turned out of the loner'lots Into the upland pasture.

He bad spent some time readjustingfallen rails and straightening crookedpanels when a tiny spot of color In a

., spot of gold In Ita mean settingStopping a few minuses Inter to

•" ease his shoulder a bit, he happened to*- f lame ova* the fence Into the woods

The act waa purely involuntary, bat asight met bis eyes that instantly droveevery other consideration out of hismind—from behind a log a man wasglowering at him.

He ducked out of sight in a flash,and the woodsman stooped to his task—carelessly; without so much as theflick of an eye to betray that he hadseen anything at. all—but he hadcaught a distinct view of a slouch hut.a rough flannel shut, open at the col-lar, .a glare of dark eyes that smol-dered In a face dark and scowling andcovered with a stubble of black beard—the desperado of the festival. ~

Texle'a startled whisper, as she hadfastened the bandages about his shoul-der the evening before, flashed acrosshis thought. The face behind the logand the face of his memory rose to hismind as distinct aa a reflection InWhispering spring. Unbelievablethough it was—against all reason Inthe light of that terrible letter-Hiesaw the resemblance she had fancied—vague, half Intangible, but none theless a resemblance. .

With.the tail of his eye on the log,the woodsman went on with his work,apparently absorbed in It. really withno other thought tlinn to put .is greata length of fence row as possible be-tween himself nnd that scowling face,und In as short a time as was prudent.

The moment he thought himself outof sight, he took out a rail of the fence,crawled through the opening ami. withevery caution known to woodcraft,crept back through the underbrush to-ward the log. The broken outline of Itat last came Into view through a clumpof hazel. He raised his head ever solittle nnd lay listening. Not a falsenote disturbed the soft purr of nature;the pulse of the woods bent normal.He dropped his head; crawled up tothe log. The leaves were flattened andstill warm, but the man was gone..

He searched the moss and leaves un-til he found the trail—the scrape of aboot In a spot of moist ground at thefoot of on oak. After that it was easy.There were two sets of tracks. To hissurprise one set led back toward thecliffs! above, the homestead. He fol-lowed it. At a point along the bluffsthat commanded the nearest view ofthe cabin under the crimson ramblerthe mussed leaves and broken weedsbeneath a clump of bushes at the very,brink of the rocks showed where therenegade had concealed himself. Threehalf-burned matches, with which hehad probably lighted his pipe, indicat-ed that he had remained some time.

Jack glanced down at the tiny cabin,the barn-lot, turned and followed thetrail back under the trees.

Past the log it led, away, to thenorth,, down the face of the woodedbluff and into the narrow road thatthreaded Eagle hollow. He followed Itwithin sight of the rude.hovel at thehead of the hollow into which I.ogeBel den and his sister had latelymoved: stopped; studied the placecritically for a moment; filially turned,climbed the bluff and, with an un-comfortable feeling of hidden eyesupon him, returned to his tusk at thefence.

The forenoon was gone by the timelie finished It. As he trudged back,the corner where he had found theyellow orchid drew his eye' irresistibly.

Raking away the dead leaves lie dugIt up, being careful, to leave enoughsoil about the roots to prevent theirwithering, and carried It in his handsout through the trees and up amongthe tumbled ramparts of Black rock.

In the tiny flower bed at the footof the sandstone pinnacle where thethree mimes were carved, he hollowedout a place In the rich leuf-mpld andset the orchid with the others—all ofthem doubtless having come there atdifferent limes In the snme way; roseto his-* feet and stood deeply ponder-ing, as his gnze rested on the threenames carved in the rock. That baf-fling resemblnnre, in spite of him.would creep back into his thought.

The hold frankness of the inun'sface settled to a deeper thoughtfill-ness; .he looked down Rt the new or-chid among the old, fresli and piquant,as when he" dug it out of Hie fencecorner; glanced toward the red-roofedcottage, and set Ills foot in the roughpath that led*down to the fallow ysinl.

CHAPTER VIII ' ,

The Fairy's Secret.The furnishings of the cabin under

the crimson rambler would lmve beena revelation to a stranger entering thedoor for-the'first timer A soft-tonedrug from the Orient covered three-fourths of the.- rough - floor, stoppingJust. short of the cook stove, which,with Its'array of utensil*, occupied theother-fourth.-'Tlie bed .was high post-ed and .canopied, dressed-in the'finestMnen; and: hung with-,faded tapestry.The-, chairstjwere.'handsomely;• tiphol-^tered,J'whlUva center' table-of hnnd-carvett rosewood stood In the mid sec-tion of the floor.

Along the south wall an AmericanHug of Mlk bung draped, and under Ita

beautiful face at a woman; and fathe companion frame, the fine, *B»

tin atform of a colonel of Mounted Bane-era—tbe man and the woman who haddreamed the dream that sever cametrue.

The woodsman had finished hla taskat the barn and feedpeaa that eveningand returned to tbe cabin, where,deeply thoughtful he was half me-chanically building a Are in tbe cookstove when his quick ear caught thesound of a light atep coming along thepath from the orchard. He laid downtbe kindling and turned toward thedoor.

Tbe light step had stopped, and.Texie stood outlined In tbe doorway,her eyes dancing alive over thethought of bavins taken the alertwoodsman by surprise, the. round won-der of her throat and cheeks touchedto a softer blush by the waning sun-light that slipped In under tbe crim-son rambler.

The man dragged oft* his hat. Thegirl glanced over the cabin; lifted hereyes.

"Jack, you're the. best housekeeperin the Klatwoods."

The floor creaked with the weightof him as he came to the door. Hehad to stoop to pass under the lintel,and his mamlve shoulders spread al-most from Jamb to Jamb.

"It ain't me." he said In his slowway. "There's a wonderful fairy aboutthese hills som'er's that slips In whenrm off In the fields, and no matter

ain't no fairies, but I know ther' is—one. anyhow."

The girl's expressive face was aliveand eager.

"Why don't y'u. try some day t'—trap your—fairy?"

The heart of the big woodsman roseto his eyes. For a transcendent mo-ment the man in him, sprung fromgenerations of soldiers and gentlemen,supremely dominated the bound boy.He drank in the wonder of her hair,tlie plump soft mystery of her throatand bosom, and his hands Instinctive-ly reached toward her.

"I'd give the world—!"He stopped; the transcendent mo-

ment passed. He dropped his eyes andcrushed his hat rim in his powerfulfinger*.~The girl' bent her head and a deepthoughtfulnesii filmed the brown ofher eyes.

"Jack—!"He felt the slight tremor In her

voice and half guessed what was com-ing.

"That face las' night—It ha'nts me."Involuntarily he glanced up, at the

high ] brink of the cliff, where, undera clump of bushes, lay some mussedleaves and n pinch of pipe ashes.

"Don't let it." was Ills slow answer."There's the pilot of the Obenchaln,now. looks a pow'rful sight like LarkSharp, and they ain't' a mite of kin inthe world."

She pondered the answer and seemedmuch, Impressed, even relieved, as hefancied.

"How's Tap Simon t'day?""I'or father! He ain't hardly left

the house sence that—night. He'swrote and wrote, and looked at papersIn 'is sufe I didn't know 'e had, andthis afternoon' he had Zeke Pollck upwith his notary public seal." A shadowflitted across her face. She laced hersmooth fingers;' gripped them. "That—terrible letter! He's read it and roadIt. Pore Kon—!" -

The man reached his' arm up overthe door; absently felt H spray of rosevine, its buds "swollen big with themystery that was soon t« be revealed.The girl glanced at the hand amongthe rosebuds and slowly turned to-thefrank and tlioiizhtfnl face.

FSEDIN<f~THC CHILD

The child of. the family being themost Important member aa to feeding.

It is wise to fol-low the Englishcustom of havinga table for tbechildren. Herethere la no temp-tation for • themto tuate food notgood for them, tor

it lit nut aeeu or desired and there Uno compromise between what tney•ought to have and what they wantThe result when intelligently fed willbe sturdy, healthy youngster*. Not somany American families follow thiscustom because of .indifference, butwore because of necessity.

In homes where they cannot be fedalone and properly they are too oftenallowed to eat at the family tablewhere they usually cry and get whatthey cry for, for the sake of peat*and at the sacrifice of health, man-ners und morals.

There are ways where meals may beslmplined so that the children may beserved at the same time without harm.One may restrict the diet of the Hdultsto con.'onn to the food needed for thechildren, huv'ng dinner at noon or let-ting the little people have a aimplesupper by themselves euriler in theevening than the dinner hour.

Children under five years of ageshould be given fo»d easy of digtwtion,avoiding rich food of all kinds, pas-tries and cukes, except sponge. Norich puduings or sauces and very littleineut, und that at lopv Interval*.

Fortunately the child who has notbeen pampered and is in good healthdoes not desire a variety of food. Goodcooked cereals, toast, eggs, plenty, ofmilk und fresh fruits, stewed prunes,orange Juice every t'uy with potatoesconked In various ways nnd chickenonce: In n while, will be enough va-riety for nny normal child.

One must remember, that a growingchild needs plenty of food, to build tbebody and supply heat and energy, too,for his active body. A child's diges-tion Is more active than un adult's undit—I* ;able-to tafce-un-^tra meul ortwo dally without -trouble. A, lightluncheon In the morning und after-noon, If only a glims of milk or a sliceof bread and butter, will be foundquite necessary to keep the little ac-tive body'growing properly.

EGGS FROM PULLETSPOOR FOR HATCHING

Pullets never should bebreeders unless they are early batchedand bandied under toe most favorable

says Noel Hull, extensionM

y ,apedaltst of the Missouri state poul-try experiment station, at MountainGrove. Mo.

The following are the' essentialpoints in producing hatching eggsfrom pulleta:

First, the pullets should be earlyhatched. It Is necessary for thefowls to be mature tor the neat re-sults.

Second, they-must have been raisedproperly—they must be well devel-oped. Elgbt-months-old pullets thathave been fed and housed properlyare better than twelve-months pulletshandled under unfavorable conditions.

Third, the pullet should be broughtInto lay early in the fali and whiterand allowed a rest before breedingseason. This allows them to be Ingood physical condition tor tbe pro-duction of hatching eggs. - -

Fourth, a good ration should befed throughout the winter, but thepullets should not be forced tot pro-duction. The breeding ration shouldcontain - about three-fourths as muchprotein as the laying ration.

Fifth, the pullets used as breedersshould be supplied an abundance ofgreen food. It will pay to use alfalfameal or sprouted oats when othergreen feedLis^not available....

We are prone to attempt two busi-nesses In one. Commercial egg-pro-duction and good hatching eggs sel-dom come from the same flock at thesame time. Best results are securedfrom the flock handled especially forone or the other.

Pullets to be used In the breedingpen's next spring should be culledcarefully and placed In separate quar-ters. Then they should be fed on abreeding ration and not forced forproduction.

Breeding from pulleta Is to be dis-couraged. It Is generally conceded.that the best results are obtainedfrom hens that have completed onelaying year. However, with .specialcare, good-results can be secured fromwell-developed, vigorous pullets Ifthey are,not forced for production.

Substitutes for Wormsand Bugs During Winter

In.order to maintain good egg pro-duction during-tbe winter months theflock owner or attendant must repro-doaa as nearly as possible those condi-tions which exist at the season ofheavy egg production; say the. Ne-braska Agricultural college poultry-men. Because of the abundance ofbugs and worms during the springmonths, and the entire absence ofthem now it is absolutely essentialtlrat some substitute for them be pro-vided. Such substitutes are knownas "animal feeds" and Include meatscraps, tankage, and ground bone.This dry mash mixture should contain15 to 20 percent of meat scraps orhigh-grade tankage. If skim milk orbuttermilk Is available the percentageof other animal feeds may be de-creased somewhat

Hens With Cold Feet DoNot Produce Many Eggs

With eggs bringing exceptionalprices the object of the poultrymanis to get his hens to lay the largestpossible number of eggs at a minimumof expense, and one way to gain thisend Is to keep'the feet of hens warm,says A. C. Smith, head of the poultrydivision at University Farm1 at St.Paul. "Hens with cold feet do notlay." adds Mr. Smith. "Froren ground;snow and mud make cold feet. A dryfloor in the hen house with from fourto eight Inches of straw In which thehens may constantly scratch will notonly keep the hen's feet, warm butwill help to Insure good health, whichIs absolutely essential to egg produc-tion."

Eggs for Hatching NeedMost Careful Attention

Under average conditions It Is notdesirable to keep eggs that are to beused for hatching longer than ten-days. Satisfactory hatches may be ob-tained after keeping them over threeweeks If they are carefully turnedand'kept,at-a'temperature of about•pi0 degrees Fahrenheit. Experimentsshow that the longer the eggs arekept the lower will be the. percentageof chicks.

Tbe eggs should be turned once aday. Egga shipped from a distanceshould be carefully unpacked and-leftIn a quiet place 24 hours before be-ing placed under hens.-r-E. J. Peter-son, North Dakota Agricultural Co>lege. . '

Sixty Per Cent Hatch Is'. Considered About RightIf you buy eggs for hatching, don't

look for 90 or 100 per cent batches.Breeders- are, as a class, conscien-tious, and will sell what they believe tobe fertile eggs, from good stock.'. Buteven from the healtnlest of fowls' and

< V X l l b e

tome points. A «0 per cent hatch isgood, and If half of these prove goodbirds In color and shape It will be a«eod batch.

MORE MTTJT USED IFOF HIGHEST GRADE

The dairyman is interested |n Hiegreater consumption of milk snd heIs abas Interested la the production ofhigh-grade milk, as It la a contributionto increased sales of his product. Intbe production of high-grade milk itla decenary for us to take every pre-caution because milk very readily ab-sorbs odors from tbe barn and else-where and la quite easily contaminatedby bacteria. If milk were consumedwithbs a lew hours after production.we would not have a very' difficultproblem. Toe fact la, however, thatour milk Is often transported long dis-tances and la not consumed untiltwenty-four to forty-elgbt hours after 'production. This necessitates greatcare in handling tbe product

Tbe usual methods employed ofchecking on tbe sanitary condition ofa milk supply are the sediment testaad the bacteria count Marked sedi-ment hi the,milk indicates that it wasproduced and cared for nnder uncleancondition!*. When a. high bacteriacount Is found, it Is Taken as an Indi-cation of either old milk or milk pro-duced under unclean conditions. A lowbacteria count Is desired because it de-notes sanitary conditions all along tlieway from tbe cow to the consumer's -table. .

It Is wrong to believe that highquality milk cannot be produced un-less expensive barns and equipmentare employed. High quality milk can 'be produced 'under average farm con-ditions, • bat It requires precautionseach and every day. : - -

The final bacteria count In milk isthe sum of the bacteria coming fromthe udder of the cow, plus the number 'gaining admission after the milk isdrawn from the udder and the naturalIncrease thnt has taken "place beforethe count Is,made.

The means for the dairyman thento employ Is to cut down to the veryminimum the number of bacteria,gaining admission to the milk afterIt ii drawn. This Is simplified If thecows are clean and kept in a sanitarybarn. Also, this count Ii reduced byhandling the milk only In sterilizedcontainers and exposing It to the airthe shortest possible time. To cutdown the natural Increase of bacteria,we should keep the milk under condi-tions of. low temperature. This has acontrolling effect upon the multiplica-tion of the bacteria.—B. W. Fairbanks,Colorado Agricultural College. '

Feeding Dairy Calf IsImportant Bit of Work

Always weigh the feed.Avoid overfeeding, overfeeding; Is .

sure to result In scours.- Be scrupulously dean. Clean pens,clean bedding and clean feed fed Invessels that are washed and sterilizeddaily-are absolutely necessary.-

Give them plenty of clean water todrink.

In feeding milk or gruel use a ther-mometer; don't guess at the tempera:ture. Between 90 and 100 degrees Isabout right.

Watch the condition of the calf'sbowels. At first appearance of scour-ing or offensive odor,' reduce the feedand treat for scours.

Be regular In the various operationsperformed In caring for the calves.

Tie the calves up so they can-befed separately.

Give them as much exercise as pos-sible.

What Mangels Are Worthas Feed for Dairy Cows

Mangels are a good feed for dairycows. About 80 per cent of the drymaterial In them is digestible. Accord-ing to-etperlments that have been car-ried on, when 'such feeds as bran oroats are worth $30 a ton, mangels areworth about $4 a ton. When hay Inworth $18-20 mangels are worth, around•S3 per ton. It requires about two ton*of mangels to equal one ton of cornsilage.

Cows weighing 1,000 pounds .mayeach be fed from 90 to 60 pounds ormore of mangels dally.

The best method of storing mangel*for winter use Is in well-ventilated pitsir root cellars.

Dry Cows Need as MuchCare as When Producing

The old practice of turning cowsinto the stalk field in winter after theygo dry Is no longer followed by thewise farmer or dairyman. Stockmenhave learned dry cows need as muchcare In winter us they do when theyare producing. The end of the lacta-tion period Is when cows need goodfeed and extra care to build up thebody in preparation for another seu-lson. Give them good warm shelterat night, ut least.

Many. Dairymen NeglectVentilation of Stable

Many dairymen' disregard ventila-tion. : Some barns, are built, tightlyand make no.provision for circulationof air.

PLAN IS TO REACHALL ILLITERATES

Tha American Legion waa the chieffactor In broadening the scheme Coradult education at the recent confer-ence, timed at eUmlnaflon of Illiteracy,held In Washington, declared Dr. Ho-mer Seerley, president of the lowsState Teachers' college, a delegate tethe conference.

Chief among these recommendaUonswere those (or provision of more edu-cation titan now provided, particularlyIn regard to matters of citizenship,which will be brought about by an In.Testlgatlon as to competency of everynative-bora cltixen as fully as the for-eign-born Is examined. Doctor Seerleysaid

Another feature of the conferencewas the report of "Group C." thai sec-tion of the work in which the Ameri-can Legion waa moat vitally Interested.

Garland W. Powell, national directorof the Americanism commission of theLegion, clearly enunciated the alms ofthe conference at Its Inception when hesaid, as chairman of that group:

"We believe that the chief aim ofthis conference li to provide .that everyman and woman In the United Stateswho cannot already do so be taught tospeak, reatLand write the English lan-guage. We further believe that tbefirst elements of citizenship should bea part of such- Instruction/'

On this was the principal work utthe conference founded. An attempthad been made by elements of the conference to make combating of Illiter-acy apply only to native-born Atner).cans, but the Legion and other agea-cies, co-operating In Group C, declaredagainst this, aiming to bring those offorelira birth Into the scope of the catpalgn.

The recommendation of the cronp Inwhich the Legion participated wa» thatthe United States cotnmlsHlnner of edu-cutlon be requested to appoint a committce of at-least-nine persons,' withprofemlpnal experience In this field,three of whom are to be members ofGroup C of the Illiteracy conference,for the purpose of .reviewing the ranterials submitted by Group C of thisconference and forwarding the resultsof their work to those engaged in illit-eracy work In the United States. Itwas further .recommended that thecommissioner secure representativesof the entire country on this commit-tee. _ • _ ' . . • • .

The report of the subcommittee ofthis group on textbooks and materialsurged use of cejrtalirprlnclples In selec-tion of textbooks for instruction. Theseprinciples Include texts that conformto the ability of adult students; thatdo not violate psychological principlesof suggestion; that conform to accept-ed methods of teaching; auch textshould contain fundamental Items ofInformation on health, food,/hygieneand sanitation; with suggested textsfor specific groups of native-born Illit-erates, fnrelgn-born Illiterate and In-termediate and' advanced t«xts for .allgroups.

Consolidation of rural schools isgrowing In favor, according to the re-ports to the conference. One-roomschools are dlnnppearing, da'a showingthat 1,828 consolidations weta effectedIn the school yeurs of 1021-1922. with14 states not reporting. At feast fourof these states are known to be makingconsiderable progress in the work ofeliminating single small schools. Insome canes these are being Improved,not by removal to a distant central lo-cation,' but by natural growth In twoand: three-room school's: - There were1,800 consolidated schools In the Unit-ed States in 1920. There are now ap-proximately 16,000 of such schools, anda decrease of 8.900 one-room schools Isnoted In the three-year period.

All this has had a salutary effect onthe salaries of school teachers, result-Ing, In turn. In higher mentality for theteaching profession. Beginning of Il-literacy to traceable. In many In-stances, to rural schools.where Incom-petent teachers and Insufficient super-vision have prevailed.

The conference on illiteracy, calledby the Legion, was the first national at-tempt to settle on some, means foreradication of Inability to read andwrite the English language, much ofwhich Is to be found among illiterateImmigrants, and native-bora negroesand whites In certain sections of thecountry. The Legion's part In callingof the conference was determined bythe national program of education, re-Indorsed by every succeeding nationalconvention since tbe first meeting laMinneapolis. ' . •

MAKES VOCATIONALTRAINING BIG CARD

If the vocational training departmentof the veterans' bureau advertised Itsactivities In the magazines as do vari-ous correspondence schools, you wouldprobably see the subject of the accom-panying picture pointing a finger atyou and Inquiring If you, too, wantedto make a thousand dollars and royal-ties.

Here's the story: Richard O. Quehlof Peterson post, American Legion,Minneapolis, Minn., Is a veteran whomthe Germans picked on. In .one year ofservice ten months were spent InPrance, and on two separate occasionsQuehl was "at home" for the receptionof steel-Jacketed calling cards.

As a. part of his vocational traininghe was farmed out to a Minneapolis

Richard 0. Quehl.

maker of flour and cereal milling ma-chinery, as a salesman. His employertold him to. go Into the shop and ob-serve things, so that he would knowthe business from the ground up. Be-ing a spectator didn't appeal to Quehl.—He put on n pair of overalls and wentto work at the bench. '

His genius Immediately showed It-self and in no time at all he demon-strated some practical Improvementsin machinery design. His latest'IdeaIn un Improvement on a disk separatorfor keeping the chaff from tbe wheatHe sole] the Idea for $1,000 and royal-ties.

Now don't try to spoil this story by •pointing out that Quehl was trained asa salesman. JJe Is a versatile com-rade. He also made good as a sales-man and compiled the beat cataloguethat his company ever armed Its salesforce with.

VeUran of World WarPose* as Real German

For once, John Thomas, a, veteranof the World war, was clad that becould pose aa a German, even thoughhe had fought them on French soil In1017 and 1918.

For Thomas escaped from Huertlstarebels in Mexico by posing as a Ger-man, after the rebels learned that theUnited States had begun to supply tbefederalists with guns and. munitions.Even then, he waa tortured with hotirons, and bis clothing taken from him,and escaped only through aid of friend-ly freight train conductors, wbo helpedhim make bis way across the border.

Thomas was a miner employed by aBritish syndicate on the Jallsco-Quada- -lajaro front, and the mine was at-tacked and wrecked by tbe Huertlstas.He Was taken prisoner with a group offederal soldiers and was accused ofbeing a "gringo.'* He saw anotherAmerican killed by the rebels.

'Americans are about as popular aarattlesnakes with the rebels Just now,"said Thomas to a group of AmericanLegion members In El Paso, who pro-vided him shelter and funds. "Sincethe United States began to send iIons to Obregon, they- call Itterence In their family scraps."

Worthwhile Things of Life.

All adults who lived the yeararound on farms, in their youth,but who are at the present timeincarcerated in cities, find thatmuch of the conversation of theircontemporaries relating to thestage, popular plays, actors andactresses of a decade or two ago,has few associations for them.Some .times they feel keenly thefact that they were deprived ofthe glamour and fascination ofthe theatre.

There were, however, two sub*stitutes for the magical amuse-ment they missed, i One of themost worth while things of life isthe family reading circle. On

Such a 8et4)ives Volume and Distance.

By LEON BI8HOPProcure any standard make of

degree varioconpler, rewind the statorwith 40 turns of No. 20 double cottoncovered magnet wire. At a point eightturns from the ground aide of the stat-

tuke off a tap which goes to theantenna. Across this coll connect a.0005 variable condenser. This con-denser must not be over .0003 in ca-pacity, but under that value If any-thing.

The grid condenser has a capacity of.00025 mfd. and the grid leak a resist-ance of 3 megohms. The bypass con-denser Is .002 mfd. The audio frequen-cy amplifying transformer may be anyof the so-called high ratio types.

The first qr detector tube rheostatshould have a resistance of 30 ohms.,while that of the second, or amplifyingrheostat should be <10 ohms. The de-tector tube B battery voltage is varia-ble from 22 to 34 volts.

It is Important that the outside wind-ings of the secondary be connected tothe grid, and that the inner .side of thesecondary shall be connected to thenegative side of the A buttery, nnri notto the negative side of the filament.

This circuit, when working properly,will not only regenerate but will spillover when the rotor windings becomeparallel with the Htator.

Host of the tuning is done with therotor at almost right angles to the stat-or. This circuit will operate almostnny type of loud speaker with wonder-ful volume. It Is even possible to put

over loud speaker reception with sta-tions 1,500 miles distant

The multl-audl-plex circuit la notonly extremely sensitive but wonderful*ly selective.

The best results are obtained byusing UV-20M jobes.

Following several valuable sugges-tions, these Improvements In the multiaudl-plex circuits are advised: ,

Instead of a variometer in the platecircuit to produce regeneration, a muchsnappier action may be obtained byusing a standard varlocoupler, the 180-degree type preferred. The rotor wind-ing need not be changed,, m the aver-age varlocoupler has a sufficient num-ber of turns to produce regenerationover the frequency used In the musicband.

In thjs circuit the antenna la connect-ed eight turns from the ground, aashown in the diagram. This eliminatesa tremendous amount of code Interfer-*ence, and It will be easily possible tolisten to the shorter wave stations,even through the local Interference ofstation WEAR

It must be remembered when usingthe 180-degree type of varlocouplerthat it may be necessary to reverse theconnections to the rotor. When theproper connections are obtained nndtlie rotor Is turned parallel to thut'stnt-.or winding, a terrific screech shouldbe heard in the phones. In other words,the best point of-tuning Is arrived atwith the rotor nt.nbout right angles tothe stator.—New York Herald.

Short Wave Sets

Use Wood and Copperfor Open Circuit Jack

It will be found that a very goodopen circuit Jack can be made, as fol-lows: A block of wood K Inch square3% inches long Is cut as shown at C.Procure two small pieces of copperand cut one of them % by % Inch andthe other % by 1 Inch. Bend thefirst piece as shown at A and the sec-

fUM

ond one as at B. A hole large enoughto r.llow the plug to pass through It Isbored In the panel exactly In front ofthe place where the block of wood isto be nailed.

The strip of copper A Is screwedagainst the panel and above the holeso that when the plug is pushed In Itwill make a good contact The atripB la also screwed In place on theblock so that the tip of the plug Isconnected to It The block is nowfastened in place and file Jack is com-pleted.—Radio Digest

Flexible Leads SaveBreaks in Portable Set

When building that portable set forthe summer vacation and other trips,use of flexible wire for connections In-side the set will probably rave Iota oftrouble from broken connections due toJars and other causes. Tbese connec-tions arc not quite so efficient, due tocapacity effect from the insulation, butthey are safer and a broken connectionout In the woods, miles from a solder-Ing Iron, Is a calamity. Keep themshort but not taut enough to be undera strain- Copper lugs should be sol-dered to each end to go over the bind-ing-post spindle. '

200-Meter Work MakesInteresting Listening

There is some interesting stuff in theair down below the wave length usedby the lowest of the broadcasters. It'sno use to listen down there until 10:30p. in. or later, because tlie amateurs,09 per cent of them, keep, off the airduring broadcasting hours. From eleveno'clock on, however, even if you do notread code, there * is some Interestingamateur phone traffic on 200 taetersund^Jower., You'll find It extremelysharp and requiring care in tuning.Perhaps, too, you'll begin to realizewhat you are missing by not knowingthe code. If so, you can get a chart ofthe code and you'll find plenty of op-portunity for practice in reading anynight after eleven o'clock . If you tunedown to the 200 meter band.

Bakelite Regarded asOne of Best Insulators

The Insulating material, bakelite,that hi used so extensively for radiopanels and parts, ia really a very com-plicated substance, and when thescientific man wants to talk about Itlie has to call It by the tongue-twistingand brain-exhausting nnme, oxybezyl-methylenglycolanhydrlde. It Is a con-densation product of phenol and for-maldehyde, la a very fine insulator andhas great heat, moisture and acid-re-sisting qualities. Its brothers go un-der such trade names as formica andcondenslte. These. materials are high-ly efficient in all places where the bestof insulation is needed, both In radioand electrical work.

Extreme Simplicity and So?lecthrtty Are Features

Worthwhile.Most every operator la Interested la

the otber*fellow's receiver If be getsgood, distance with U and for that rea-son a description of the tunes at 8YOIs given.

The following Is a description of theset used by SYU (Lafayette college) totuning In four European nations with-in two hours in one evening during tbsrecenT trans-AUantlc'test*. These fourstations were located in three differentEuropean countries, SAB and 8BF ofFrance, PAD of Netherlands and 2SZof London.

An antenna 250 feet long was used.For that reason It was thought betterresults could be obtained If the aperi-odic system w«re used. To do this twoturns were wrapped around the gridcoll of ten rums. The stator was SMInches in diameter. This gave goodcoupling and eliminated tuning theantenna circuit "Various numbers otturns' were tried' in the grid coll L-luntil ten was decided upon. The con-denser across this coil. C-l, waa a.0005 mf. with a vernier attachment.The tickler coll, L-3, wus made of 30turns of small wire on the rotor of tlievarlocoupler, which was 2% Inches indiameter. ; When arranged as de-scribed, and tlie tickler L-3 adjustedso that oscillation would barely takeplace, the range of the tuner was from05 meters to 220 meters as carefullychecked by a laboratory oscillator andwave meter which was at hand.

Its benuty lies In Its extreme sim-plicity and selectivity. It has no taps,and so does away with dead end losses.

For amateur work tlie operators at3TO believe it Is unexcelled. The opera-tor has complete control without tak-ing hla hands off the .two dials. An-other feature Is the elimination of thefilament rheostat A fixed resistanceof 30 ohms Is introduced for the UV-109tube. The only dials or posts thatneed come out on the panel are thosefor L-3 and C-l, a 'phone Jack, andantenna and ground posts. In fact, theground may be left off, results beingpractically the same. The butteriesmay be connected through tlie rear of

the set Everything Is mounted onthe panel, so that tlie entire affair maybe removed and the set repaired Ifnecessary.

If the builder does not care to listento 100 meter stuff and wishes to In-crease his wave length range, he maymake the grid coil 18 turns Instead of10. Everything else should remain thesame. The range will then be fromabout 175 to 300 meters.

There may be one spot where theset will not oscillate—It Is at thefundamental .of the antenna, showingthat energy is being taken from thegrid circuit at thut wave, leaving notenergy enough to make it oscillate free-ly. This may be remedied by one oftwo ways, either remove the groundconnection or place a coll of ten totwenty turns in series with the anten-na. This will change Its natural wavelength, and the outfit will Immediatelyoscillate freely again.—New York.Herald. •

Those ard*ent radio fans who takepride In malting as much of their ownapparatus ss possible can make avery neat looking, serviceable switchknob to go with the homemade sil-vered dials.

of a BiffpHshmsnt by a Litth Con-

Metfevt City.

O. 8. Freeman publisher of theWatertown News and Presidentof the Connecticut Editorial Asso-ciation was one of the invited•ruestH of the American Hotel Cor-l>o rat ion at the formal openingand banquet of the Burritt Hotelat New Britain Tuesday evening.The hotel has just been complet-ed at * cost of $800,000, whichwas subscribed by the people ofXuw Britain aiid vicinity, and isa nivdel of completeness andColonial style beaut}-. It is aneeded addition to New Britain ofwhich that hustling city may just-ly be proud. The banquet wasone of the most elaborate the ho-tel Association ever staged, theprice of tickets to those ; otherthan invited guests being $7.50per cover. The music and sing-ing was of a high order andhundreds of citizens of the citywere permitted to look in fromthe hotel foyer and enjoy the en-tertainment. Judge B. f. -Gaffneywas toastmanter and addresseswere made by a number of ablespeakers. Horace L. Wiggins,vice president of the United Ho-tels Company, among other thingssaid:

"Over 800 New Britain peopleare interested in this Hotel. In

^ you have a stake in

cireumstanees. I do not see nowthis Hotel, « r you, or auyboby, isgoing to lose. 1

We are partners not only inthis Hotel, but we are partners inthe larger civic enterprise, ofNew Britain. That is the basisit all—civic pride; your pride inyour home town, which, really,after all, is only another way ofsaying, your, pride in yourselves.If it were not for this element ofpride, I am afraid nothing wouldever get very far advanced. Theproper kind of pride is a very im-portant element in human nature:pride, decent pride, makes forprogress.

You certainly ought to be proudof this Hotel. I have been tra-veling up and down the country,as a hotel man, for a great manyyears, but I do not believe I havenver seen a more attractive Hotelthun the one you have here.

I predict that the launching ofthis Hotel will mark a new era inthe prosperity, of New Britain. Ithas been my experience that:

-every time a city gets down tobusiness and as a community putsover something big, then thatCity has experienced a re-birth ofprogress. ,

Many times you hear folks say,' 'Oh! we> can*t do this, or wecan't do that. It is too much forthis City. It's impossible. Wecan't get any more pavSd streets,we can't stand for a new CityHall, or a new High School, or a

MAKING IMPROVEMENTSTO HITCHCOCK BLOCK

For a long time F. F.

Knowles, of North,•Voodbury. The front will betorn out from the south end toand including Sandler's shoe storsind a new plate-glass front willbe substituted, which will notinly add to the appearance of thetwo stores but will enable'the" oc-cupants to display their merchan-dise to better advantage and inaccordance with modern mAliods.
