Calvin CoolidRe suggests that thoBe | 1B need of "a little encouragement can i look at the condition of the Federal Treasury." It seenis like advising tho hungry to look through the glass window of a restaurant. But figures quoted hy Mr. Cool id; o are encouraging. "The national debt has been reduced hy ten billion dollars and now stands at a little over sixteen billion dollars. The Interest charge has been practically cut in two, but is still over SGfn.OOO.OOO.'* Mr. Coolidge also reminds you that "we have had five reductions of taxes which gives the people direct relief of •bout $2,000,000,000/*two thousand millions yearly." Credit for the draft of tax bills. Issuing new securities thnt cut the average interest rate below 4 per cent, is due to Secretary Mellon, Bays Mr. Coolidge. Credit for the policy of economy "belongs to the President," but Mr. Cooliriro doesn't say which President, A little credit also, although Mr. Coolidge doesn't mention it, belongs to the American citizens, who have been taxed to pay off the ten billion In bonds, and are taxed now to meet •very foolishness that Congress can Invent Britain's airship, R-100. greatest that ever rose into the air, has crossed the Atlantic to Montreal with thirtyseven crew and seVen passengers. The R-100, faster than the Graf Zeppelin, represents Britain's determination to role the ocean of air as for centuries she has ruled the ocean of water, regardless of expense. Germany and England make the effort. We look on and do little. It is all the more surprising as we have tho money, the industrial skill, and in the White House a great engineer. Who must be sorely tempted to put this country ahead in a field that is purely one of engineering skill. Two celebrations in Italy recently. It was Mussolini's forty-seventh birthjday, and the thirtieth anniversary of King Victor Emmanuel's coronation. Italians congratulated Mussoliui and their king enthusiastically. They ; adore Mussolini, their national hero, looking upon him as the savior of Italy from "the fate of Russia." They love their king, a modest, courageous and sincere man. ' Fourteen years ago Mussolini took control of Italy and her government, and thus, In all probability, prolonged .King Emmanuel's reign by fourteen iyears. What would have happened bad •Mussolini adhered to his early Socialistic and Communistic beliefs, the UdeuB that put him in Jail?

To Persia's demand for damages "for invasion" Kemal replica, "Come and get the damages.*' What interests students of history Is the fact that Kemal announces his intention to "end nomadic tribal life in Turkey." It seems strange to think 'that millions of human beings are .still ready to light to the death for the right to wander up and down in the earth, with no settled habitation. Roy Chapman Audrews believes that he has found in an ancient Mongolian mud pit the most remarkable fossils ever discovered.

Wool Garments Need Care in Washing Summer sweaters, woolen sports dresses and hose may be kept immaculate by careful hindering, suggests the <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> state college of home economics. A little skill in the process keeps them soft and fluffy and prevents shrinking. First try out an inconspicuous part to see if the color is fast, they advise. Then measure the length of the front, back and sleeves. Put the sweater In a thick luke warm suds and squeeze the dirt out of the fabric. Never rub or pull. If the garment is badly soiled repeat the process in a second sds. When clean squeeze out as much soapy water as possible and lift into the luke warm rinsing water. Rinse several times, squeeze out as much water as possible but do not twist or wring. Lift the sweater out In a mass. Do not allow any part of it to stretch. Lay it on a flat surface covered with a towel and smooth it out to the measurements taken before washing. Dry as rapidly as possible. A dry, clear day or a warm, dry room is best since mildew may form if the garment takes too long to dry. Simply made wool knitted dresses and suits may be washed by the same method. If your sheep, calves or pigs have a husky cough at thi stune of year, look out for lung worms. Isolate infested animals and give them special care and feed. Put the animals on high, dry pasture or put them up and feed dry feed. Give plenty of pure water and provide them with some kind of shade. An interllled crop following clover or alfalfa is a goo dthing in crop rotation, but it is a mistake to grow two or more lterilled crops and several small grain crops in succession on the same land. Two small grain crops of the same kind or. two interrilled crops are the maximum number of nonleguminous crops that should be grown in succession.

Dairy Barn That Will Appeal to Farmers With Good Herd of Cows By W. A. RADFORD Mr. William A. V idrord will answer iiucstlona and give advice FREIS OF COST on all problems pertaining- to the subject of building work on the farm, for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as editor, author and manufacturer, be is, without doubt, the highest authority on the subject. Address all Inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 407 South Dearborn Street, Chicago, 111., and only inclose two-cent stamp for reply. In* these days when dairying has become the principal activity on many farms rather than a side issue, farm building architects have devoted more and more attention to economy in the construction of the buildings to house dairy cows. Instead of constructing a huge barn with a mow floor the same size as the stable floor, many dairy barns are now constructed with only one'story. The roughage which the animals need is stored in a cheaply constructed building of a size required to bold the amount of bay necessary to supplement the silage. This onestory construction not only saves In the original cost but makes really a WHY : Sleep Is Necessary to Repair Exhausted Brain The Vienna neurologist, Dr. Constantin Von Ecouomo, claims to have locatec the cause of sleep. He bus conducted muny experiments on cats. During tiie day, he says, our bodymacliines secrete poisons which would kill us if the process continued long enough. Once the bloodstream becomes saturated, however, a tiny ganglion of nerve cells sends out chemical messengers which cause the. motor-centers of the brain to cease operations, producing sleep. It is the cortex, or rind, of the brain which does all our thinking. {Stripped oil' the cerebrum, it Is as large as u napkin and could be carried in u ihhnble. Y-et it is the only part of the brain with which thought is produced, in Napoleon's brain that thimbleful of gray matter dominated most of the world. It works hard and has to rest, and when it rests we are unconscious, or asleep. Besides discovering the cause of sleep, the Vienna surgeon claims to have located 107 centers in the rind of the cerebrum which govern that muny movements of the body and determine our behavior und personality.—Los Angeles Times. Why Many Hold Black Cat Omen of Bad Luck That it Is a sigu of bad luck for a black cat to cross one's path a short distance ahead is one of the most prevalent of all superstitious, especially among women, says an article iu I'ul blinder .Magazine. It probably Is a survival of the medieval belief that Satan often assumed the form of a black tom-ciit when he sallied out on excursions of mischief. The ancient Kv.vpliaus regarded the cat m sacred, but during the Middle ages this animal fell into bad repute among Europeans, who associated black specimens • daily with the devil and darkness. In some countries it was believed thai all black cats are transformed inlo evil spirits at the end of seven years. Dp until a few hundred years ago all witches were supposed to have a black cat as a familiar, and iu pop ulur representations ut Halloween time witches are still shown nccompanied by black cats while ou then uocturuiil journeys. better stable because It Is more easily', ventilated and side walls may be slightly higher permitting more windows to admit sunlight, which Is one of the things needed in the stable to keep the animals healthy. The barn shown In the accompanying Illustration was designed to bouse a herd of twenty udlk cows, the herd bull and young stock. How the stanchions and box stalls are arranged Is shown on the floor plan. Indicated on this plan Is the equipment which is Installed In modern dairy stables to lessen work and make the stable more sanitary. It will be noted that the mixing rooms and feed bins adjoin the twin silos and that an overhead carrier track is Installed in a direct line to the mangers. Also shown is a cross section of the stable showing bow the concrete floor is constructed to provide concrete mangers and gutters and how the system of ventilation is installed. This type of a dairy barn will appeal to those farmers who have a herd of considerable size. Cleanliness Quite Essential for Hens Chickens Will Not Thrive if Not Healthy. Everybody feels proud of their young chickens If they continue to grow satisfactorily. Chickens will not grow at a foot) rate of speed unless they are healthy. When chickens get droopy, only partially feather out, and become stunted, they are no longer a source of pride, and probably will not be a source of profit. Clean chicks, clean ground, clean houses, clean feed and cleun watering ir0*sals are all essential in the production of healthy chickens. Clean chicks are necessary to start the program. Chicks that are from weak or diseased sio. u will not have the vitality or freedom from disease *that Is necessary for best results. It is impossible to keep the best chicks healthy unless they are raised under clean conditions. Clean ground means freedom from diseuse germs and worm eggs, ("lean houses, feeds and aasering utensils aid In preventing the spread of any diseases that may have xained entrance into the Bock of chicles, as well as providing the sanitation that is necessary for health. If it is possible, move the young pullets out on j;ood range where they will remain separuted from the remainder of ihe flock during the summer months. This will not only allow them to grow under belti-r feed conditions, but will also keep iheia away from com a ml nation of different diseases and parasites.
