WAR VETERANS DYING
AT RATE OF 37 A DAY |
World War soldiers whose dis-
ability came directly or indirectly
from injury in combat are dying in
veteran's hospitals at the rate of 37
a day, a survey by the American
Legion discloses.
Each dying veteran leaves an
average of two children. In 1930
there were 200,000 orphans of the
World War scattered throughout
the United States, many of them in
need. Only 37,000 were getting any
kind of government aid.
Mrs. Wilma Hoyal, of Douglas,
Ariz., president of auxiliaries of the
Amercan Legion, who is now tour-
ing the Uniled States seeking bet-
ter treatment of disabled veterans’
thinks that the peak of veterans’
disability will not be reached for
another ten years.
“The veterans in the hospitals re-
ceive adequate treatments, so far as
I can observe,” she said. “But
there are thousands of men with
serious disability who can't be ac-
commodated in the hospitals.”
“As the war itself fades with the
years it is harder and harder for
the veteran with a disability that
was late in showing itself to prove
its connection with the war. That
is one of our hard problems.”
Mrs. Hoyal has been working on
the problem for nine years of afiil-
iation with the national auxiliary
organization and has seen it grow
greater as the years pass.
The first thing on the auxiliary’s
program as far as Mrs. Hoyal is
concerned is assisting the sabled
veterans. She thinks that in the
West, where they have less of the
fully developed community agencies
of relief that have become establish-
ed in the East, the legion and auxil.
iary feel the full weight of relief to
incapacitated men.
This is especially true in Arizona
she says, where 97 per cent of the
sick veterans are natives of other
States. Arizona's climate brings in
a larger problem with veterans than
any other State.
“RIGHT” RELIGION
WOULD END SLUMP
The right religious spirit would
lift the depression, Chaplain Ray-
mond C. Knox, of Columbia Univer
sity, declared in telling of the
growth in summer-session religious
activities.
“None of the larger national prob-
lems are insoluble,” Chaplain Knox
said. “The co-operative spirit of ap-
proach, coupled wh a clear-cut
ideal and a definite motive power
can effect a solution. Religion is
the motive power. With a genuine
ideal of service and a new spirit of
forgiveness, all peoples could work
harmoniously together for a com-
mon good. f course, this would
mean a willingness to forego some
personal advantage or gain. While
this may sound like idealism, there
is nothing more practical than an
ideal.”
All the courses, services and con-
ferences on religious topics at Co-
lumbia are designed to bring religion
into relationship with the life and
needs of men, women and the world
today, Chaplain Knox declared. He
asserted that there was a steady In-
crease in the number of those inter-
ested in religion.

—Women ussd to spend their
time thinking up new recipes for
pies and remedies for their ailing
children. Now they are entering
the field of invention in increasing!
(numbers, outside the home.
Models of some of these inven-
tions by women will be a feature,
this year of the Exposition of Wo-
men's Arts and Industries opening’
September 30 at the Hotel Astor,
New York. Mrs. Oliver Harriman, so-
| ciety matron, chairman, said.
Though only one patent in every
fifty is granted to a woman, Mrs.
Harriman points out that records of |
the Patent Office show more than
115,000 patents have been issued to
women. These records also show
a steady increase in the number of
women inventors during the last
fifteen years.
Beulah Louise Henry,
has forty-two inveutions, will ex-
hibit her latest device. It is an
atachable ribbon for any typewriter,
which makes five copies at a time
without carbon paper.
Her first invention was a collapsi-
ble umbrella. Others were a new
ice cream freezer, an advance on the
original model invented in 1843 by
Nancy Johnson; an electric fan
shield, a new pencil, combination
doll and radio receiving set, and a
clock device for teaching time to
children.
Another exhibitor will be Mrs.
Katharine Sunderland, who invented
a device to save wear on hosiery
and who has now invented a device
to relieve the pressure of the edge
of the shoe on the instep.
A new electric pressing iron will
be exhibited by Albertine Ruelland,
a former lady's maid, who saw the
need of designing an iron with
round edges and corners and a
swinging handle, ane Mrs. Eugene
Lamb Richards will exhibit her in-
vention, which is a remedy for un-
even lighting.
Mrs. Harriman said that, though
it is generally assumed that inven-
tions by women are largely restrict.
ed to household articles, it is proved
by the Patent Office records that
fewer than one-fourth are in this
field.
“The greater number
larger fields, of industrial arts,
transportation, and even agricul-
ture,” Mrs. Harriman said.
One of the most valuable of wo-
men's inventions is the Coston flare
light, burning like a red flare, which
is used hy the Coast Guard and
mariners all over the world for sig-

—An inappropriate color scheme
will spoil the charm of good liaes
and masses in your house, Light
colors make a house seem larger,
while dark colors have the oppozite
effect. Cream, ivory yellow -and
‘white and the light buff shades ale
suitable for small houses. The
large house looks well in buff, gray
or green,
Dark colors make a house seen
gloomy and unfriendly. A light
trim will relieve this situation. ?°
Trees cast shadows and break up
w
the light which strikes a house. A
large house, if surrounded by trees,
may be painted a light color, with-
out seeming elephantine.
If the house is new and the lot
barren, all-white will make it look
unfinished and unsettled. A cheers
ful color with a trim tends to make
it blend with ils surroundings.
The color of the house should har-
monize with the color schemes of
neighboring houses. Otherwise it
will be a jarring note in the locality.
Vary the color schemes of nearby
houses, but choose as the main
color of yours a color which will
harmonize with those on either side
of it. This may be varied {o make
it individual without making it look
too different.
Shingled houses are usually stain-
ed rich, velvety silver gray, rose
brown, moss green or buff. Spanish
and Italian houses use vivid colors,
but they should not look bizarre. A
very small amount of bright color
is the rule for large masses.
—JIf you have spilled something
on your frock, remove the stain or
spot as soon as possible, as allow-
ing it to stay for a time only makes
it more difficult to remove. Anold
stain frequently combines with the
fiber and cannot be removed with-
out serious injury to the material.

—To control stinking smut of

If any traces of smut are found the
seed should be treated with two

—Growing chicks should be well
fed to insure healtn, protection
against disease, rapid, economicai
gains while they are young, and
quality flavor to the meat or broii-
ers and friers, says O. C. Ufford,
extension poultryman at the Colo-
rado Agricultural college.
A simple, economicar and effective
growing ration for the farm fiock
can be made, Ufford suggests, from
the following ingredients:
The scratch mixture may be
cracked corn of a size suitable foi
the chick, whole wheat or a mixture
of equal parts of these two grains.
A mash mixture may be com-
posed of the following feeds, he
says: Fine yellow cornmeal, 35
pounds; bran, 25 pounds; shorts, 25
pounds; meat meal or meat scrap,
10 pounds; bone meal, 4 pounds;
salt, 1 pound. Ground wheat may
be substituted for the bran and
shorts if desired.
When milk is available in any
form, it is profitable to feed it to
the flock, it is added.
“The mash should be kept in suit-
able, non-wasting feeders, allowing
the chicks free access to it at all
times,” the extension pcoultryman
says, ‘and feeding space should be
provided sc that at least one-fourth
of the flock can feex at one time.
“The grain. can he fed in hoppers,
morning or evening, in amounts that
the birds can clean up readily, or
fed in a litter of straw that should
he changed occasionally as a sani-
tary precaution.
“Green feed is a very important
part of the chick's diet. When a
green range, lawn ctlppings, alfalfa,
le{tuce or other greens are not
available, 5 to 10 pounds of alfalfa.
leaf meal should be added to each
100 pounds of the above mash mix-
ture.”
—T1he value of using pure-bred
dairy sires is indicated by the high
records made by some grade cows.
Oue of the highest testing cows
ever developed in the Cow Testing
Assocation of America was Aggie,
a Holstein grade cow owned by D.
W. Huenink, of Cedar Grove, Wis,
who had developed his herd through
cow testing association work and by
the use of purebred Holstein sires,
selecting his herd carefully on the
basis of production and profits. This
cow produced in 12 months some
20,082 pounds of milk and 8174
pounds of fat, equal to 1,022 pounds
of butter.
The reader may ask what profit
such a cow would make over the or-
dinary cow. According to the ex-
tension service of the Holstein-
Friesian association the owner of
Aggie received $£2,18049 for her
milk in five years sold at butterfat
prices. Her feed cost during that
time was $952 and her average year-
ly profit above feed cost was
$245.85.
The high cow for milk production
in the Johnstown (Colo.) testing as-
sociation is Claria III, owned hy C.
W. Henry, a grade Holstein with a
record of 20,331 pounds of milk and
631.8 pounds of bhutterfat. The
high cow for butterfat in the Fort
Lupton association is a Guernsey
grade and the high milk producer
is a grade Holstein. Many of the
most profitable herds in the State
are grade herds, but are all headed
by pure-bred sires.—Charles L. Bray,

The lumber from Penn's Woods |

KILL FEWER DEER
TO PROTECT CROPS
The number of deer killed by
farmers to protect crops was eighty-
five fewer during August, 1931, than
during the same period last year,
Charles G. Stone, executive secre-
tary of the game commission an-
nounced. [Eighty-two deer were
killed during August, 1931, as com-
| pared with 167 during August, 1930.
The principal damage was to oats
and buckwheat, with less damage to
potatoes and garden produce. Prac-
tically all of the deer were retained
for food.
There has been little bear damage
so far this year, due principally to
the abundance of natural food.
Sometimes a bear will form an in-
dividual flesh-eating habit, Stone
said. The Game Commission re-

TELLS OF CAMPS
IN ADIRONDACKS
President George Harrison, of ths
Wellsboro Rotary Club, told mem-
| bers Monday noon about changes in
| the camping places through the
Adirondacks which had come with
the development of touring during
the last decade.
Where Harrison and the late Earl
Champaign camped at Point Com-
fort, near Gloversville, N. Y, 14
years ago, amid complete wilder-
ness, now are 90 fire places for
tourist campers, Harrison said. Fish

where . Harrison has spent vaca-
tions on several occasions, were 16
fire places but a few years age.
This summer, the speaker said,
of the camper’s ovens were ready
for use, and more were being built,
More than 200 camps were pitched
along the pond this year, he said.
Right of way timber, cut as New
York State builds highways thro
{the Adirondacks is hauled to
{camp for free fire wood, and gro-

{ New York State's million and a
half acres of wild forest land, re-
served to the people by the State
constitution, are open to everyone,
Harrison stated. A majority of the
acreage is in virgin timbered sec-
tions, he declared.
The speaker compared the friead-
ly democratic camp life which he
noted on a trip to Yosemite Valley
some years ago, with the camp life
in the east, stating that eastern re-
serve seemd to be giving way to the
west's friendliness.
