7ashington.—Overcoming the oppo-

blo Indian girl of New Mexico,

matron and seamstress and will

nced.
he girl was born in Santo Domin-
Pueblo, between Santa Fe and Al-
uerque, a settlement more deter-
ed than any of the others, the de-
tment said, that it should maintain
original manner of life. The tribe

the government and has refused to
mit its members to use shower

respite the attitude of her people,
department sald, the girl went to
Indian boarding school at Santa
and later became housekeeper at
ay school, defying the tribe in or:
to obtain an education.
‘he girl's examination papers ard
tten in a tiny-copper-plate hand
t would “do credit to any Vassar
duate,” the department said. In
m she discussed the care of living
rters, sanitation, diet and the mak-
of clothes.
Her paper,” the department added,
»uld be a remarkable one to have
n produced by a white girl with
turies of civilized living and every
ae and educational advantage back
her. It demonstrates the possibili
; that lie in the aborigine.
The pay that Juanita will receive
m the government will be fabulous
m the standpoint of the Indians
ong whom she grew up. Her suc-
s, it is expected, will be a demon-
ation to the village of the possi-
ties that lie in following the way#
the white man.
It may do much toward breaking
vn the prejudice against going to

Bravest Hearts Stirred
When Lions Give Voice
Ne mcre appalling sound is known
on our living earth, says American
Forest, than the roaring chant of a
troop of Hons. It reaches camp as our
“plack boys” are feasting by the fire,
singing or babbling like children un- |
der the blazing stars. Camp gaiety
ceases as though a meteor had fallen
and terror takes the place of mirth.
There are lions abroad tonight, ruth-
less as death; frigid in purpose, daring
and strong. Another high-pitched
boom—raucous and shattering as from
some epic brazen trumpet, dwindling
to a series of hoarse, detonating grunts,
Perhaps a dozen full-grown lions are
on their way down to drink after a
colossal kill and all-night gorging of
meat. Suddenly one will halt to
breathe out an awesome roar that rolis
and throbs for miles over the silent
wilderness. As the lion draws in an-
other great breath to repeat, a second
lion takes up the challenge. Then a
third, a fourth and so on, until the
very firmament seems to vibrate and
tremble as with shattering contact
with physical powers. There is noth-
ing like it to strike awe and fear into
the bravest heart; it is the authentie
voice of a true king of beasts.
Nature Both Kind and
Unkind to Great Poet
Alexander Pope, the author of “The
Rape of the Lock” and “An Issay on
Man,” was the son of a London trades-
man, and was born in 1688. Sickly
at birth, he remained sickly; it was
only by the greatest care that life was
kept in his frail body.
When he reached manhood, he was
withered and small, being but four
feet tall; he was a remarkable scholar,
surpassing, perhaps, anyone of his
time. His greatest works were those
mentioned above; also his translations
of the “Iliad” and “Odyssey” have
been held in high esteem.
His poetry was roughly handled by
che London critics. But, for all his
insignificant appearance, he was a bit-
ter fighter, and lashed out with tongue
and pen in a way that caused all but
the most hardy to shun him.—From
Popular Biography.
Hope for Drug Victim
Recent observations and investiga
tions of drug addicts indicate that
the morphine victim is not wholly
hopeless, as is generally supposed.
| The addiction to morphine is not char-
acterized by physical deterioration or
impariment of physical fiiness aside
from the addiction per se. This may
seem highly surprising. Yet detailed
clinical examinations of many patients
gave no evidence of change in the cir-
culatory, hepatic, renal or endrocine
functions. When it is considered that
the persons under observation had
been addicted for at least five years,
some of them as long as twenty years,
these negative observations are highly
significant. Thus there are substan-
tial grounds for the belief that, were
it possible to relieve the addict of his
addiction, complete rehabilitation
might be expected.—Washington Star.
Paul Revere as Dentist
Boston's Evening Post of September
26, 1768, carried this advertisement:
“Whereas, many persons are so un- |
fortunate as to lose their fore teeth |
by accident or otherwise to their great
detriment not only in looks but in
speaking both in public and private.
This is to inform all such that they
may have them replaced with artificial |

apan Is Planning to
Assist Illegitimates
Tokyo.—A movement to move the
gma attached to children born out
wedlock has been started by the
inistry of justice here.
The Japanese civil marriage cere
ony is simple, for it required only
at the young man and woman reg-
ter at a ward office and pay a few

try have revealed that the practice

At present the law provides that a

Colonial “Babies
«Some baby” may sound modern but
its use goes way back to pre-Revolu
tion times according to Fortune Mag-
azine. However, when a man said
“wpabies” in those days, he was re
ferring not to young Colonial dames
but to the latest dress importations,
They were always in miniature op
dolls which were known as babies.
Before 1776 these came mainly from
London, but during the Revolution
pe » ae
. none but Tories would ape the British,
and French “babies” began to be
i shown. Importations of actual gowns,
says Fortune Magazine, discussing the
garment industry, did not begin exten-
| sively until well into the Nineteenth
century.
Unfair
| For centuries men have had all the
| preaks. Now it is the women who get
' them. Apparently the struggle for
equality gave the wheel of life such a
tarn that it actually reversed itself
' Prof. John Hanna evidently had this
in mind when he said:
“Hquality before the law is a re-
sounding slogan for the seal of a
great commonwealth but it has no
particular application to breach-of-
promise cases. A man's broken heart
is worth nothing.”

FARM NOTES,
_It takes 21 days for a hen egg
to hatch, about 28 days for duck
eggs, from 30°to 34 for a goose
egg, and 28 days for turkey eggs.
—Feeding good cows is more prof-
itable than feeding poor ones. Cull
out the boarder animals.
~ _Bare-back chicks may be the
result of crowding in the brooder
house.
— Although cottonseed meal is of-
ten used as a direct fertilizer in
sections where it is cheap, it is
probably more profitable to feed it
to stock and apply the manure to
the land. Very little of the fertiliz-
ing value is lost through feeding.
—The breeding turkey should re-
ceive a good laying mash along with
scratch grain,

UNION COUNTY TO GET
THE U. S. PENITENTIARY.
Announcement, was made at Wash- |

Union county had been selected as
the site for the- new federal peni-
tentiary for the eastern district.’
The site for the proposed prisonis.

located not far from Lewisburg on.
the Lewisburg Mifflinburg state
highway. Buffalo creek runs
through the tract and the principal |
main of the White Deer Water,
company runs within easy reach of |
the proposed site of the buildings. |
The cost of the site is $95,000,
and the proposed cost of the peni-
tentiary is $3,850,000. Of this sum
$1,700,000 is immediately available
to start work on the project.

Under the leadership G. M. Smith,
of State College, the Banjo Band
has made rapid strides in the past
six months and is in popular de.
mand as an entertainment feature
at all kinds of gatherings. The band,
composed of about 35 banjos, came
into prominence last spring when
it entered a national competition at
Rochester, N. Y., and won distin-
guished mention, even though it had
been organized but shortly before
the contest.
Banjo Band members are from

heavy losses and the problem is one
of the important undertakings of
poultry specialists at present.
While many factors, such as
breeding, feeding, and management,
have an important bearing on the
hatchability of the eggs produced,
heredity is also a factor. It is now
known that some hens lay eggs of
a higher hatchability than others
and that this characteristic can be
transmitted from sire to daughter,
In fact, the studies already made by
department poultrymen indicate that
| strains which will produce eggs with
(a very high hatching power may
ipe developed by trap nesting, ped-
| igree hatching, and selection of hens
producing a high percentage of
livable chicks.
At the department’s poultry ex-
periment farm at Beltsville, Md,
breeding work is being conducted to
develop strains of high hatching
ability. Some progress has already
been made. Records of one hen with
an average of 90 per cent hatchable
eggs show that she has transmitted
this characteristic in a large degree
to her progeny. She has two daugh-
ters and seven grand daughters
with records of hatchability ranging
from 78 to 95 per cent, or an aver-
age of 86 per cent hatchability.
