Who Should Push the Baby Coach?
By DOROTHY DIX
Who should push
the perambulator
when a man and his
wife and the baby
go out for a walk?
I have received a
letter from a man,
who writes: "Why
should a man have
to wheel his child
through the city
streets? Why should
not his wife do It?
It Is most humiliat
ing to a man to pass
his friends while he
Is pushing a baby
cart, and to have to
Hi 'i to their i ■
listen to their remarks. It Is surely a
woman's duty, but I do not like to
quarrel with my wife, so I am asking
your opinion on the subject, for which
I will be very grateful."
What's the matter with pushing the
baby carriage as a respectable Job for
a family man? What Is there about It
to make a man blush and hang his
head in shame? I fall to see in it any
thing derogatory to masculine dignity.
It seems to me that a man with the
perambulator la far more admirable
than the man with the automobile,
and that it is better to take the baby
Joyriding than it is to take a chorus
girl.
The man who thinks that he looks
ridiculous when he is seen taking the
baby out riding in his little go-cart
would be filled with pride and vain
glory at the spectacle he presented
tearing up the streets In a high
powered racing car.
It's Much Bettor Thnn Smashing Spwrt
Records
Yet he is a million times more use
fully and worthily employed In trund
ling the baby wagon than he would bo
In smashing records and dodging the
traffic police in a gasoline wagon. I

SCHOOL OF COMMERCE
15 South Market Square Harrisburg, Pa.
And let me remind my correspond
ent right here that trundling the baby
cart may be the short cut to fame for
him. For In these perambulators that
unwilling fathers are pushing are the
Infants who are going to be the men
and women who will do the big things
of the future. The only Job by which
many a man will be remembered Is
that he used to wheel some little Tom
my Edison, or Teddy Roosevelt, or
Pippy Morgan about in his go-cart.
In all good truth, .the men who are
doing the most for the world are those
who are raising up nice, fat, healthy
babies—babies who are going to carry
on to new heights the banner of hu
man achievement, and why any man
should be ashamed of publicly an
nouncing his part In this great work
passes comprehension.
Certainly the times are out of joint,
and we have jfotten to a place where
we take a very decadent view of things
when a man is humiliated by being
seen In the street giving his own child
an outing, and when such a spectacle
is the subject for the gibes and mock
ing of fools.
Happily, though, sensible people are
still of the opinion that a baby is a
thing to boast of, and not be ashamed
of, and that a young man pushing his
own/ baby carriage Is a more admirable
spectacle than a haw-haw youth tug
ging at the leash of a bulldog.
But let no one ever again lay the
crime of race suicide at woman's door,
since the fathers take so little interest
In their offspring' that they are not
willing to be seen in public with them.
Apparently children are no longer con
sidered by their fathers as a crown of
glory, but a sort of disgrace that they
try to keep hidden and out of sight as
far as possible.
Just as Much His Duty as It Is the
Mother's
As for my correspondent's conten
tion that it is a woman's duty to push
well-known Church of God pastor
urges that each man must work dur
ing the campaign, for it Is made up
of persons each acting as one, and
will succeed only as each unit is
effective. Then the whole will be
effective, says Dr. Yates. The bulle
tin states that simultaneous meetings
are planned after next Sunday's great
meeting and also contains a list of

I the perambulator, that is as may be. |
To the dispassionate observers it would I
; seem that, inasmuch as a father is
j Just as much a father as a mother is a
mother, it's Just as much his business
to give the baby an airing as it Is hers. I
Of course the mother is harnessed
to the baby's go-cart most of the time. 1
Six days out of the seven she pushes
It ahead of her whenever she takes
her walks abroad, Just as she listens to
th% baby's crying and washes and
dresses and cares for it seven days out
of the week, and this being the case,
It appears to be up to the father to
take his turn at the wheel occasion
ally, even if he Is mortified to death
at being seen out In the company
of his own child.
My correspondent is ashamed to be
seen pushing a perambulator. I won-|
der if he ever passes through the resi
dential part of the city between the
hours of 10 and 4 o'clock. The streets
are a baby blockade. There are hun
dreds of perambulators, each contain
ing a rosy baby and each baby car
riage rolled bj f some mother who has
been told by her doctor that the baby:
must be kept In the air a certain num-!
bcr of hours.
Women Never Ashamed of Being
Seen With Their Babies
On the shady side of the street In i
summer, in the lee of some sheltering
building in winter, you will find these j
mothers footsore with walking, weary '
and bored to death, sweltering with
heat or shivering with cold, but faith-1
fully and patiently sacrificing them- j
selves to their children, chained to the f
baby's go-cart as truly as any captive
was ever chained to a conqueror's,
chariot wheel of old.
And not one of these women is
ashamed of her task or mortified at
being caught pushing the perambu-1

A SMART BLOUSE
FOR AUTUMN GOWNS
Surplice Closings and Chemisette*
Make Important Features of
the Season
By MAY MANTON
<371 Gathered Blouse, 34 to 44 bust.
There are manv practical as well a* 1
•mart features I > be found in this blouse.
It is exceedingly easy to make and re
quires no fitting; White seems the
natural color for the chemisette but it
can be of organdie, handkerchief lawn or
piqufe and, for the blouse itself, silk, wool I
and cotton materials are equally appro- j
priate. The new taffetas are quite soft !
enough to be made in this way, we are 1
wearing charmeuse satin this season,
crepe de chine is always pretty and there
are flowered silks that make exceedingly
3uaint and attractive effects. Un
oubtedly long sleeves are the preferred
ones for the autumn but there are many
women who find the shortened length
preferable and these can be cut off and
finished with cuffs. Touches of black are
to be much used and, if the
edges of the white collar and chemisette
are piped with black, they will give a
distinctive touch, whatever the color of
the blouse may be.
For the medium size, the blouse will
require 3yds. of material 27, 2yds.
36 or 44 in. wide, with yd. 36 in. wide

Hawk-eyed, \ beak nose
I and iron-gray hair, intensely and sol
emnly eerious, lacking a sense of
humor, he would have looked at home
with his big, bony hands gripping a
broadsword hilt and his lank body
(clothed In chain armor. He had a
mastiff's devotion to its master for his
chief.
"Since Lanstron became chief of in
telligence of the Browns information
seems to have stopped," said Wester
ling, but not complainingly. He appre
ciated Bouchard's loyalty.
"Yes, they eay he even burns his
laundry bills, he is so careful," Bou
chard replied.
| "But that we ought to know," Wes
terling proceeded, referring very in
sistently to a cecret of the Browns
which had baffled Bouchard. "Try a
woman," he went on with that terse,
hard directness which reflected one of
his sides. "There Is nobody like a
woman for that sort of thing. Spend
| enough to get the right woman."
Turcas and Bouchard exchanged a
glance, which rose suggestively from
the top of tho head of tho seated vice
chief of staff. Turcas smiled slightly,
while Bouchard wa3 graven as usual.
"You could hardly reach Lanstron
though you spent a queen's ransom,"
said Bouchard in his literal fashion;
1 "I should say not!" Westerling ex
claimed. "No doubt about Lanstron'a
being all there! I saw him ten years
ago after his first aeroplane flight un
der conditions that proved it. How
ever, he must havo susceptible subcr
i dinates."
"We'll set all the machinery we
1 have to work to find one, sir," Bou
! chard replied.
I "Another thing, we must dismiss any
! idea that they ere concealing either
I artillery or dirigibles or planes that
we do not know of," continued Weeter
ling. "That is a figment of our appre
| hensions. Tho fact that we find no
i truth in the rumors proves that there
j is none. Such things are too important
j to be concealed by one army from an-
I other."
1 "Lanstron certainly cannot carry
them in his pockets," remarked Tur
cas. "Still, we must be sure," he
added thoughtfully, more to himself
than to Westerling, who had already
turned his attention to a document
which Turcas laid on the desk.
"The 128 th Regiment hae been or
dered to South La Tir, but no order
yet given for the 132 d, whose place it
takes," he explained.
"Let it remain for the present!"
Westerling replied.
After they had withdrawn, the look
that passed between Turcas and Bou
chard was a pointed question. The
! 132 dto remain at South La Tir! Was
there something more than "newspa
per talk" in this latest diplomatic
crisis between the Grays and the
Browns? Weeterllng alone was in the
' confidence of the premier of late. Any
I exchange of ideas between the two
; subordinates would be fruitless sur
mise and against the very instinct of
staff secrecy, where every man knew
only his work and asked about no one
else's.
Westerling ran through the papers
that Turcas had prepared for him. If
Turcas had written them, Westerling
I knew that they were properly done.
: Having cleared his desk into the hands
[ of his executive clerk, he looked at the

Life!" He Mused.
clock. It had barely turned four. He
picked up the final staff report of ob
servations on the late Balkan cam
paign, Just printed in book form,
glanced at it and laid it aside. Already
he knew the few lessons afforded by
thie war "done on the cheap," with
limited equipment and over bad roads.
No dirigibles had been used and few
planes. It was no criterion, except in
the effect of the fire of the new pattern
guns, for the conflict of vast masses of
highly trained men against vast masses
of highly trained men, with rapid
transportation over good roads, com
plete equipment, thorough organiza
tion, backed by generous, reaourcea, in
the cataclysm of two great European
powers.
Rather idly, now, he drew a pad to
ward him and, taking up a pencil,
made the figures seventeen and twen
ty-seven. Then he made the figures
thirty-two and forty-two. He black
ed with &•
he mused. This done, he put seven
teen under twenty-seven and thirty
two under forty-two. He made the
subtraction and studied the two tens.
A swing door opened softly and hie
executive clerk reappeared with a soft
tread.
"Some papers for your signature,
air," he said as he slipped them on the
blotter In front of Westerling. "And
the 132 d—no order about that, air?"
he asked.
"None. It remains!" Westerling re
plied.
The clerk went out impressed. His
chief taking to sumo of subtraction
and totally preoccupied! The 132 dto
remain! He, too, had a question-mark
in his secret mind.
Westerling proceeded with his math
ematics. Having heavily shaded the
tens, he essayed a sum in division. He
found that ten went into seventy Just
seven times.
"One-seventh the allotted epan of
life!" he mused. "Take oft fifteen
years for youth and fifteen after flfty
flve—nobody counts after that, though
I mean to—and you have ten Into
forty, which Is one-fourth. That is a
good deal. But it's more to a woman
than to a man—yes, a lot more to a
woman than to a man!"
The clerk was right In thinking
Westerling preoccupied; but it was
not with the International crisis. Over
his coffee the name of Miss Marta Gal
land, in the list of arrivals at a hotel,
had caught hie eye In the morning pa
per. A note to her had brought an
answer, saying that her time was lim
ited, but she would be glad to have
him call at five that afternoon.
Westerling realized that the ques
tion of marriage as a social require
ment might arise when he should be
come officially chief of staff with the
retirement of His Excellency the fleld
marshal. For the present he enjoyed
his position as a bachelor who was
the most favored man in the army too
much to think of marriage.
It was a little surprising that the
bell that the girl of seventeen had
rung In his secret, mind when he was
on one of the first rounds of .the lad
der, now lost in the mists of a lower
stratum of existence, should ever
tinkle again. Yet he had heard Its
note In the tone of her prophecy with
each step in his promotion; and while
the other people whom he had known
at La Tlr were the vagueet shadows of
personalities, her picture was as defi
nite in detail as when she said: "You
have the will! You have the ambi
tion!" She had recognized in him the
power that he felt; foreseen his ascent
to the very apex of the pyramid. She
was still unmarried, which was
strange; for she had not been bad
looking and she was of a fine old fam
ily. What was ehe like now? Com
monplace and provincial, most likely.
Many of the people he had known In
his early days appeared so when he
met them again. But, at the worst, he
looked for an interesting half-hour.
The throbbing activity of the streets
of the capital, as his car proceeded on
the way to her hotel, formed an ener
getic accompaniment to his gratifying
backward survey of how all his plans
had worked out from the very day of
the prophecy. Had he heard the re
mark of a great manufacturer to the
banker at his side In a passing limous
ine, "There goes the greatest captain
of industry of us all!" Westerling
would only have thought: "Certainly.
I am chief of staff. I am at the head
of all your workmen at one time or
another!" Had he heard the banker's
answer, "But pretty poor pay, pretty
small dividends!" he would have
thought, "Splendid dlvidends-rthe divi
dends of power!"
He had a caste contempt for the men
of commerce, with their mercenary
talk about' credit and market prices;
and also for the scientists, doctors, en
gineers, and men of other professions,
who spoke of things in books which
he did not understand. Reading books
was one of the faults of Turcas, his as
sistant. No bookish eoldier, he knew,
had ever been a great general. He re
sented the growing power of these
leaders of the civil world, taking dis
tinction away from the military, even
when, as a man of parts, he had to
court their influence. His was the
profession that was and ever should
be the elect. A penniless subaltern
wa« a gentleman, while he could never
think of a man in business as one.
All the faces In the street belonged
to a strange, busy world outside his in
terest and thoughts. They formed
what was known as the public, often
making a clatter about things which
they did not understand, when they
should obey the orders of their eu
periors. Of late, their clatter had been
about the extra tnxes for the recent in
crease of the standing forces by an
other corps. The public was bovine
with a parrot's head. Yet It did not
admire the toiling ox, but the eagle
and the lion.
Aa his car came to the park his eyes
lighted at sight of one of the dividends
—one feature of urban life that ever
gave him a thrill. A battalion of the
128 th, which he had ordered that after
noon to the very garrison at South La
Tlr that he had once commanded, was
marching through the main avenue.
Voutha all, of twenty-one or two, they
were In a muddy-grayish uniform
which was the color of the plain as
seen from the veranda of the Oalland
house. Where these came from were
other boys growing up to take their
places. The mothers of the nation
were doing their duty. All the land
was a breeding-ground for the divi
dends of Hedworth Westerling.

WHY WE SHOULD LIKE
COWS ID CHICKENS
Poultry and Cattle Make Excellent
Combination to Handle
on the Farm
Poultry and cow? are coming to
be regarded as a profitable combina
tion on the farm. Formerly many
persons, back-to-the-landers especial
ly, thought poultry and fruit could
be handled together with greater gain
than any other combination, but
since the discovery that milk is the
best of all foods for chickens this
change of opinion has come about.
Twenty-five acres of land, five to
seven thousand laying hens, ten cows
and two horses is now considered
about the proper layout. Fruit and
poultry do not go well together for
the reason that neither provides any
thing helpful to the other, except
that an orchard does provide shade
which cannot be dispensed with in
profitable poultry keeping. But fruit
does not provide foed for poultry and
chicken manure, valuable for many
crops, applied In any quantity to
orchards Is positively harmful; it
forces wood growth and causes the
fruit to drop before matured. On the
other hand, this fertilizer is unexcel
led for growing corn, wheat and grass
and corn, wheat and grass and unex
celled for growing chickens. These
crops respond wonderfully to the high
content of nitrogen in chicken ma
nure. Thus the land will feed the
chickens and the chickens in turn
will feed the land. The butter fat
from the cows will be turned into but
ter and sold and the skim milk will
be turned into eggs and sold.
Just how many more eggs will be
laid by a hen that is fed skim milk
than by one of like quality that is not
cannot be estimated with anything
like certainty, but it Is certain that
the increase will bo far above the fig
ure the average poultry keeper might
name.
The business of poultry keeping for
egg production is in Its infancy; it is
bound to grow wonderfully In the
next few years, and economic crr
production is far from being an exact
science at the present time. It be
hooves the egg farmer, therefore,
who would be well paid for his ef
forts, to give intelligent thought to
the matter of combining such lines
of agriculture as will work to the ad
vantage of each other.
Guessed Egg-laying
Ability of Hens by
Hefting the Pullets
Tom Barron, the English breeder,
was the magnate that drew thousands
to the annual meeting of the Connecti
cut agricultural Poultry Association
held at the Connecticut agricultural
college this month. Mr. Barron enp
tured first place in the Connecticut
laying contest last year and so far is
again In the lead this year.
The climax was probably reached
j when he was induced to mount the
roof of one of the poultry houses,
where the vast crowd could see him,
have hens from the contest pens pas
sed up to him and give his estimate of
their egg records. He met this test
with the individuals of three pens, R.
I. Reds, White Wyandotts and white
Leghorns.
Mr. Barron seemed to look at the
toes and legs first, apparently to get
an idea of their color. He noted
whether the legs were placed wide
apart. Then he studied the head,
comb and eye. Then he ran his
hands all over the hen, back, front
and at the side, testing the lines at
the back, the shape of the breast bone,
the length and breadth of the back.
| Then he held her up for one last wise
inspection, after which ho told with
i surprising accurancy how the bird
| stood in her pen record.
More Than Hundred
Thousand Eggs Laid
in the Famous Contest
More than a hundred thousand eggs
is the record to date of the hens in the
laying contest at Storrs. This Is an
average of nearly 123 eggs each for
very individual in the contest, inclu-
I ding good, bad, and indifferent and is
only about one and a half eggs per
hen behind the record for correspond-
I ing period In the previous contests.
This is thought to be an excellent
showing in view of the fact that more
I than 800 birds are engaged in the pre
sent contest as compared with only
| 500 in the earlier competitions.
All birds sent to the college for next
I year's contest will be tested by the
I storrs Experiment Station free of
j charge for white diarrohea, provided
I the owners signify on the entry blank
i thetr desire to have this test made.
1 During the past two monthes the sta
-1 tion has tested fifteen flocks in the
i state with the total of consider
able more than four thousand hens.
Of this number 482 or a little more
than 11 per cent were found to ho in
fected. This blood test is undoubtedly
a long step forward in the eradication
of this disease that destroys so many
young chicks.
Sting of Bee Causes Small
Boy's Death From Tetanus
Special to The Telegraph
Grecncastlc.—Paul Bingham, son of
Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Bingaman. died at
his home near Greencastle on Thurs
day from tetanus, caused by a bee
sting. One week ago the child was
j stung on the temple by a bee. Home
I remedies were applied and no ill ef
fects were felt until Sunday, when the
boy became very ill and lock-jaw de
veloped. The lad was three years old.

HOW OLD ARE YOUR
CHICKENS? FIND OUT
Essential For Poultrymen to Know
to Determine When Serv
ice Ceases
An essential to success in poultry
raising Is knowing at alt times tho
ages of the fowls. This can readily
be done by toe punching the chickens
as soon as hatched, which will obviate
the killing of the young hens and pul
lets before their days of usefulness
are over. The operation Is most sim
ple. For example: On most farms
there Is a harness punch. Use tho
smallest punch, If there are different
I sizes, and punch the outside web of
the right foot between the toes. The
following year the chicks could all
be punched on the Inside web of the
right foot. In this way, one can read
ily tell the ages of the flock by years.
There are sixteen • combinations that
can be used in this way. This method
is very good to weed out the drones
and Nonlayers, fo when a hen has
passed the second year as a layer, It
rnrely pays to keep her longer. In
this Instance, as soon as the hen
starts to molt after the second laying
season, It is advisable to market her,
as in molting she will produce very
few. if any, eggs and by keeping her
through this period which lasts about
ninety days, there is little to gain, but
the trouble of caring for her and often
mony fowls die while going through
the molt.
Town's Wealth Largely
Gauged by the Value
of Its Hens and Eggs
Nowhere else in the United States
does the value of poultry products re
present such a large proportion of the
totol value of town's or city's pro
ducts as it does in beautiful Vineland,
|N. J. About one-third the value of
all things produced In Vineland Is
credited to some industry allied to
poultry keeping. Within five square
miles of level, well drained land there
are over 250,000 hens that produce
2,260,000 dozen eggs yearly that has
a value of $640,000. The poultry feed
bill of Vineland amounts to $175,000
a year and there Is an Investment of
$3,000,000 In stock, land and build
ings. Over 1,300 persons have no
other occupation or pursuit than poul
try keeping.
A poultry census of tho town re
cently taken reveal these figures and
Vineland now claims to he the greatest
poultry producing section In this coun
try excepting the Petaluma district In
California.
Market Your Broilers
Very Early in Life
Especially the Cockerels
One should market the young cock
erels, except those desired for breed
ing purposes, as soon as they have at
tained the broiler size. There is no
time in which the young males will
pay as much profit as at the broiler
age, and by penning these youngsters,
or in fact, any of the fowls intended
for market, for about two weeks and
then feeding them the following ra
tion, a profit over and above what
would otherwise bo received, will ac
cure.
Mash composed of equal parts corn
meal, low grade wheat flour or mid
dlings, and bran, same to be fed
morning and noon, with all the crack

It's Easy to Peel Off
Your Tan or Freckles
This Is what you should do to shed a
spoiled complexion: Spread evenly
over the face, covering every Inch of
I skin, a thin layer of ordinary mercol-
I ized wax. Let this stay on over night;
j wash it off next morning. Repeat daily
I until your complexion is as clear, soft
and beautiful as a young girl's. This
I result Is inevitable, no matter how
! soiled or discolored the complexion. The
wax literally peels off the filmy surface
skin, exposing the lovely young skin
beneath. The process Is entirely harm
less. so little of tho old skin coming
off at a time. Mercollzed wax is ob
tainable at anv drug store; one ounce
usually suffices. It's a veritable won
derworker for rough, tanned, redden
ed, blotchy, pimpled or freckled Rkin.
Pure powdered saxollte is excellent
for a wrinkled skin. An ounce of it
dissolved in a half pint witch hazel
I makes a refreshing wash-lotlon. This
renders the skin quite firm and smooth:
indeed, the very first application erases
the finer lines; the deeper ones soon
follow.
