8 OF INTEREST T "THEIR MARRIED LIFE" Ctinicbl by Uttnulloaal Newa Serrlee "Yes; It's just a plain farmhouse," •aid Mrs. Brown, laughingly. '1 can't Imagine your having a good time there, Mrs. Curtis, really I can't." Helen laughed. "I'm not such a hot house flower, am I?" "No: you seem rather a smart type. I do hope you won't be too disappoint ed." Helen and Warren had been Invited to go to an automobile week-end party with the Billy Browns. Helen had met Mrs. Billy Brown, a singer, through Anne. Anne and Bunty Brown had known each other In Kansas, and Helen had liked the little woman very much. There was a refreshing sweetness about her that was novel; and Warren liked Billy Brown. The two families had taken dinner together several times. Mrs. Brown, who loved children and had never had any, raved <y>ntinually about Winifred. It almost made Helen cry at times to see her devotion to the child. When the automobile trip was sug gested the Browns had invited Helen and Warren first and then they had all agreed that a party of six would be better fun. "I know just the people." Bunty had said, a sudden thought striking her. "Billy, let's ask the Holmeses." "Of course, they are Just the peo ple." Mr. Brown had agreed and Helen, after several hours with Mr. and Mrs. Holmes, Jolly people who took everything as a Joke, and were in for any kind of fun, thought that they certainly were. "Yes see," said Holmes, "we stopped at this same place last year when we came on this trip, so we know all about it. The beds are dreadful if I remember rglit." "Oh, no," denied Mr. Holmes stout ly, "I slept pretty well; our bed wasn't so bad." "You see," explained Bunty, dmpllng mischievously, "we have all forgotten on purpose so that we won't think about the unpleasant part." They all laughed. The ride so far had been great fun in spite of the fact that it had rained continuously. They had stopped at several places to in quire about lunch, in the hope that they might find something different, and had finally decided on a farmhouse where they secured a country dinner for fifty cents apiece. "We can pay a dollar and a half a plate in the city any time," Bunty had declared. "I, for one. am for something different." A Delicious Luncheon The lunch had been delicious. Roast lamb and fresh asparagus, crisp country lettuce, and thick, yellow cream poured over hot gingerbread for dessert. They had all eaten until they could hardly move and were now on their way to ward their destination. The Browns had explained that it was necessary to stay at a farmhouse because the big hotels did not open until after the Fourth of July. Helen had demurred when she had heard that their quarters were to be primitive in the extreme, but Warren had Insisted that she be a sport. After all, It was not only for one night, and she would manage to get along without hot water and a comfortable bed If the company were agreeable and they had good things to eat. On the ferry crossing from Sag Har bor to Shelter Island the fun waxed fast and furious. "We'll play cards six handed t Fly-Swatting Proclamation Hearken all ye Boys and Girls of Town!

You remember, Bunty, what fun It was last year." "Yes," laughed Bunty, "and the mos quitoes were thick. I remember that all right." "Well, who minds a few mosquitoes," said Mrs. Holmes. "Mrs. Curtis, I'm afraid those white shoes of yours are going to suffer, you are entirely too grand for an affair of this kind." "I told you so, Helen," Warren said in his most dictatorial fashion. Helen flushed; she hated to have Warren speak to her that way b&fore strangers, but she said nothing, certain that the entire affair would pass over more quickly that If she retorted. "She always wants to wear her best," Warren went on. "It doesn't make any difference whether she ruins her clothes or not." "Warren, I won't let you say such a thing as that," Helen said, trying to carry the thing off as a joke. As a mat ter of fact her things were not good ones. She wore a last year's white linen suit which happened to be In good condition, and her long coat, which was very good looking Indeed. Helen had bought it when the mus tard-colored garments were Just be coming fashionable, and the color was good as well as the way It was made. Her shoes were her only extravagance, and they were her good white ones. She had worn them because she had no idea where they would stop for meals, aijd she hardly thought tennis shoes appropriate. A Very Small Ferry The tiny ferry which carried them across held four cars, but It was such a small affair that Helen was In deadly fear that they might tip over She gave a sigh of relief when they were safely on the other side, and the soft green slopes of the island began to unroll before their eyes as they sped through the country "We'll be there Is a second now," Billy Brown said turning to laugh at the crowd Helen smiled. Somehow everybody managed to find a smile for Billy Brown. Helen vowed that no one could think of the Mr. before his name, and no one ever spoke of him except ing as Billy Brown, even the people who did not know him well. The farmhouse which was their des tination was a rather goodlooking whit* affair and Helen's heart rose as she viewed It. Why, this did not look so bad. They all stormed up the stairs gaily and Helen finally found herself in a room with a sloping ceiling. There was only one window, which was propped up forlornly on a dusty screen, a washstand stood In one cor ner and the bed with a white spread placed smoothly over the top looked suspicious. Helen felt of it quickly and looked across at Warren with eyes that confirmed what she thought. The mattress was straw. "Cheer up," sal dWarren carelessly, "don't start to complain the minute you get here." "But, Warren, # we won't sleep a wink." "Why don't you wait and see. I'm not going tp borrow trouble. Come on downstairs and get something to eat. You'll feel better then." Helen smiled and followed Warren downstairs. (Another Incident In this absorbing ■ertea wIH appear soon on this page). Jeffery Produces Nearly Entire Car in Own Factory Middlemen's profits have long been the bane of those American motorcar manufacturers who produce only a small percentage of the finished car In their own factories. A few manufac turers desirous of turning out a quality car at a moderate price, have gone about eliminating, as much as pos sible, these middlemen's profits. The Thomas B. Jeffery Company, whose huge plant at Kenosha is working day and night building 93 per cent, of every Jeffery car marketed, was among the first to see the light. "Where there are middlemen," says L. H. Bill, general manager of the Jeftery Company, "there must be mid dlemen s profits; and, of course, they have to be included in the total costs and profits determining the selling price to the consumer. It is no different in the motorcar industry than any other line of business. "The Jeffery plant, by the aid most modern and efficient machinery, pro duces nearly the entire car from the raw materials. That leaves us just that margin which the company can put in to the quality of the car and enables us to stand directly behind every item in the construction of the vehicle. "This is why the Jeffery Company Is able to offer, in the Jeffery Four, such a large, comfortable, completely equip ped motorcar at the low price for which it sells. The power plant is the high-speed, long-stroke, high-efficiency tvpe of Jeffery engineers introduced In America three years ago; and the general lines of the car have that grace and distinc tion which apeals to every one who ap preciates appearance. ,/'. No ,s* these things would be pos sible if the Jeffery Company had to pay a profit on the larger number of com ponent parts of the Jeffery Four; it is possible because the company gives the purchaser the benefit of these profits in the make-up of the car Itself.'

Haskin [Continued from Kdiiuruvl l*age] American people might In this way be gradually improved. A sound literary taste is the basis of all cultural education. Further more, a public with a sound literary taste will encourage authors who can satisfy It. In this production of lit erature the United States is far be hind almost every other geat nation in the world. The principal reason for this is that the American people do not know a good book from a bad one. The first eauential of a national liter ature is a public that can appreciate it. That Americans of all sorts are able to appreciate great book* the Bureau of has pretty conclusively •roved. They mar not know good books from oad onus; but ..-hen the classics are put In their hands they read them with genuine Interest, and obtain real inspiration from them. The home reading course was begun by the Bureau of Education about a year ago. The first lists of books of fered to the public were "the world's great literary bibles," the classics of all time, such as Dante's Divine Com edy, the Iliad, Paradise Lost and Goethe's Faust. This was rather strong literary food for beginners; but they took it with a relish. There are now several thousand persons follow ing these courses, and the Bureau has files filled with their reports of prog ress. The readers Include all types from farmhands to professional men of the highest standing. There are numerous mechanics and other skill ed laborers. There are a great many women who give their occupations as "housekeepers." Many neighbor hood clubs have been formed for the purpose of group reading, and many school teachers have rormed clubs among their pupils. In the Dauphin high school, in Pennsylvania, there is a club of ten members which has reg ularly sent in long reports carefully prepaed in pen and ink. Any high school boy who will do such work as that in addition to his school studies must be genuinely interested. The evidence that these great clas sics have really caught people's inter est is plain throughout their corres pondence with the Bureau. Another striking thing is the clear and choice English In which these letters are writ ten. One can hardly associate daily with the great classics without Im proving his own powers of expression. This correspondence would be a rich field of study for a psychologist. It shows that each one gets something different from a great book. One woman admits that sne has not grasp ed the inner meaning of the classics, "but my mind has been enriched by a series of wonderful mental pictures," she adds. Another woman read the Divine Comedy of Dante, and wrote a long letter cleverly ridiculing it. Hav ing been dragged through hell by the Bureau of Education, she said that she hoped for more merciful treatment in the next lesson. She had not been at all impressed by the book, but it had stimulated her critical faculty and giv en her an opportunity for self-ex , pression. These lists of classics are not all that the bureau has to offer by any means. It has also lists of books of great practical value, lists of the world's great fiction, and lists of books for boys and for girls who wish to sup plement their school work at home These lists may be obtained by any one, and with each one goes an ap plication blank for membership in the Home Reading Circles. Other lists are constantly in preparation, and members will be notified when these are ready. A course in American history, prepared with the aid of a number of university professors, is to be ready in the Fall.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH Care and Management of Chicks in Hot Weather SINGLE-COMB BUFF LEGHORNS The little egg-machines—the Leg horns—are always In demand, not only with those who measure the worth of a flock of fowls by the num ber of eggs produced, but also with the fanciers. They are bred in several colors, but the White is the most pop ular. This is due, perhaps, because it is easier to breed white fowls than colored ones._ To the fancier, how ever. the Single-Comb Buff Leghorn makes a strong appeal. It is possess «.? al ' the heavy laying proclivities of its white cousin. The egg 3 are fer tile. hatch well, and the chicks are comparatively easy to rear. Like the \\ hites the Buffs make good squab broilers at eight weeks of age. Breeding to good snape and the cor rect shade of buff at the same time is the most difficult feature of the breed. it has been said that the popularity of the Buff variety is the Essential Rules For the Con trol of Steady Growth Without Immoderation Though Weaned From the Brooder Safely the Chick's Development Requires In telligent Treatment By PROF. JAMES B. HORMAN Former Expert for the United States Department of Agriculture. Summer ehlckcns need special care and attention. It is one thing to hatch chicks und another matter to raise them. Hot days In July and August are very trying, but if the chicks arc properly managed there is little danger of high mortality. The aim of the poultry keeper should be to provide for steady growth in chickens and to put forth every effort to avoid losses. He needs to ex ercise special care. There are certain simple rules which should be followed whether one keeps a few fowls or large flocks. Clean Pens and Yards On small poultry plants, where pens are few In number and the runs are limited in area, cleanliness is the first essential to successful chicken raising. This is especially desirable in summer. Both the pens and the runs should be cleaned regularly and limed occasion ally. In the poultry runs the lime acts as a partial disinfectant. It tends to ward oft poultry ailments and diseases, especially those which are liable to occur in hot weather. In my experience growing chickens need as careful attention for about six weeks of summer as almost any other time of the year. Usually they are from three to five months old when summer sets in. At this age they should grow most rapidly. They need to develop their frame and put on flesh rather than become fat. When chickens do not grow properly at from three to five months there is something wrong with their vitality or their feeding and management. If they should die at this age as a result of improper care, such losses threaten the poultry keeper's profits and pros pects materially. To make most profits, fryers should be on the market as early as possible when prices are high. The cockerels can be fattened for this purpose. But another impor tant object is to develop the pullets properly so that they will be readv to lay late in Fall or early winter. Then the price of eggs is high. Whether the pullets can be so developed de pends somewhat upon their health. Clean pens and yards will help to keep chickens healthy, and health and vigor are absolutely essential to successful growth and development. If the poultry keeper falls in these particulars, his prospects for profits are diminished proportionately with the lack of growth and development of his chickens. Control of Chicken Mites When well fed and otherwise prop erly managed, chickens do not always make satisfactory growth in summer. There Is a cause for this which may be wholly unsuspected. It Is likely to be due to the presence of chicken mites. This pest Is a blood-sucking para site. It harbors under the perches. In cracks and in other places. Its de structive work Is done at night. When the chickens are at roost the mites crawl from their hiding places onto the birds. They gorge themselves with blood much the same as a mosquito does, and then crawi back to their hid ing places. Tf this rest is not discov ered it multiplies Into millions in a few weeks of hot weather. If the mites become numerotis they will suck more blood from a chicken In a single night than the chicken can produce the next day from the digestion and assimilation of the most nourishing food. And since the blood carries the assimilated food, for growth to the different parts of the body, there can be little or no growth so long as such a condition continues. The time and the dabor of the poultryman, as well as the feed consumed, are thus prac tically wasted In the presence *of chicken mites. During the summer every precaution should be taken to keep the pens and roosting places free from mites. This is not a difficult matter. The mite is a very small parasite, barely perceptible with the unaided eye. When not gorged with chicken blood, it is light colored. It becomes red when It has gorged itself with chicken blood. For this reason it is sometimes called the "red" mite. But this pest is so deli cately constructed that it can easily be destroyed by spraying with kero sene or whitewash. *lt caring for my own chickens I take special pains to keep down the mites. All perches are regularly ex amined and then bruthed wltfl kero- most lasting, except the White, which recommends Itself to the purely com mercial farmers. Buff Leghorns were originated in England. Mrs. Lister Kay was most active in their production, and, gen erally speaking, the fowls arc the re sult of a cross between White Leg horns and Buff Cochins. Mrs. Kay claims that certain yellow fowls from Denmark also entered into their ori gin. Early in the '9os Buff Leghorns were introduced into the United States, and for several years they enjoyed an extensive "boom." Without a doubt the Buffs have all the merits attributed to the White Leghorn and lay as large an egg and as many of them. In addition to its utility, it has the added interest of handsome coloring. This coloring, too, makes it better adapted to the backyard flock, since buff does not show dirt so easily as on white fowls. sene when their presence Is discov ered. They gather in clusters of a few mites or perhaps hundreds. They can then be readily seen, The sides of the pens are also sprayed with hot or cold whitewash. Naturally, hot whitewash Is more effective in destroying the mites. It Is poor policy to let older fowls and growing chickens run together, and should be avoided as much as pos sible. Use of Scratching Sheds On small plants it is a good practice to use the scratching pens for accom modating the growing chickens. I al ways do so every summer. A tempor ary baseboard, with a four-foot wire netting on top, is used to divide the scratching pen into two parts. One part is utilized for a roosting place, the other part Is used as a feeding place. This arrangement keeps the younger chickens from the fowls. By so doing the young birds can get all the feed they require for proper growth and development. When the chickens are old enough so that their sex is readily determined, the cockerels are separated from the pullets and penned by themselves. By separating the sexes, they can be fed for the purpose Intended. With my chickens the cockerels are fed for a broiler or roaster trade, while the pul lets are specially developed for Fall and winter egg production. When the chickens are large enough to hold their own with the older fowls the scratching pens may be cleaned and made ready for winter work. In some such way as this, the small plant can be utilized to the best advantage in every particular. It may take a little time to do this, but it is time well spent in the interest of healthy, vigor ous, well-nourished stock. And this is the kind that pays a good proflt on the investment. Proper Feeding Is Essential Correct feeding is important in summer. In hot weather chickens should not be overfed. At the same time, they require plenty of the right kinds of feed. It may be of some ser vice to give my own method of hand ling growing chickens. Early in the morning the chickens are given a small quantity of scratch feed. A good quality of feed, one con taining a variety of grains, is always chosen. About eight o'clock they are given a crumbling mash consisting of two parts by measure of bran and one each of middlings, ground oats, and meat meal. The latter, however, is fed only three times a week in the mash. The whole is moistened with sour milk or water. The wastes from the table ire also mixed with the mash. Care is taken not to make the mash too wet and soggy, and only enough is fed that the chickens will clean up readily. It too much mash is given, and it is not eaten up clean, it is apt to sour in hot weather, and this would be likely to produce bowel trouble. As accessories to the mash, a hand ful of ground sulphur Is added twice a week, and once a week the liquid used to wet the mash is slightly salted. These Ingredients have a tendency to keep the blood pure and the chickens in sound health. Plenty of green stuff in the form of lawn cuttings, weeds, etc., and abundance of fresh water are always supplied. At noon, except on very hot days, the chickens are given a small quan tity of scratch feed. On hot days the grain feed is omitted. In its place some lawn cuttings or clover is given with fresh, cold water. In this mat ter the poultry keeper must use some Judgment. If the chickens on hot days seem to be enjoying the shade, which should be provided, they are better left unfed at noon. By evening they will be quite hungry, and this is a good indication of proper care. For the last meal at night, the chickens are given a full ration of scratch feed with which some addi tional wheat is mixed. Wheat is a high protein feed and produces bone and flesh. It is one of the best feeds for proper development, being in Itself almost a balanced ration. During the summer months growing chickens should have as free a range as possible. If this cannot be had the pens should be well provided with shade. Fresh water should be given at least three times a day. It Is ad visable to add a little bicarbonate of soda to the water in summer. This has a tendency to counteract any acid ity in the crop, which is likely to oc cur if growing chickens are overfed. It Is better to feed more sparingly on hot days than at other times. The poultry keeper should watch the weather. Importance of Good Food During the summer months, when chickens are expected to grow rapidly, the chickens should be fed corn more sparingly. This is a carbohydrate feed which develops fat rather than flesh. One of the functions of fat is to pro duce warmth, and this is not requir ed so much in summer as in winter. For growing chickens, therefore, it is good policy to reduce corn to the min imum in all rations during July, Au- JULY 8, 1916.

It Is more important, however, to know that the corn which is fed to growing chickens is free "green heart" and thoroughly mature. If there is ■my doubt as to its quality, corn should be discarded altogether or should be thoroughly heated in an oven before it is fed. Corn that is im mature may prove fatal to young birds. By following simple methods of care, feeding and management, early hatched chickens may be maintained in good health. If chickens are kept well from the time they are hatched until they reach muturity, not only has their development been rendered normal, but they ought to lay eggs in the Fall when older fowls have prac tically ceased egg production.

The Olds motor works has been a quantity producer of automobiles com paratively a short time, for the major portion of its career it manufactured only the most expensive cars, and in limited numbers. In 1915, however. It began to produce a light car, the success of which was Instantaneous. Since then it has de veloped two improved models, a four and an eight, with rapidly increased production. The basis of recent Olds success is held to be founded on the incorpora tion In a light car of the features of luxury and refinement formerlv identi fied with the heavy Olds record. In the opinion of heads of the con cern, the appeal of this class of car is constantly increasing. To quote Jay V. Hall, associate executive of the Olds. "With millions of automobiles in use. it is only natural that there should exist a large class of buyers who are extremely well versed in the detail of motorcar construction and niceties ot finish and performance. "In the selection of a car. It is no longer the discriminating few, but the discriminating many, who Judge. "It Is for this class of buyers that the Oldsmobile has been especially de signed. Our product offers a smooth ness and fiexibilty in action, and a re finement in detail and appointment that is extremely gratifying to the motor connoisseur. "Olds production plans for next year are gauged on the sound assumption that care in the selection of a car will Increase rather than diminish as time goes on. Our present data is to the effect that we shall move 200,000 cars without difficulty."

Immense Motor Car Plants Can Be Utilized For War "In its campaign of preparation for war, this nation will find that one of its greatest assets lies in its motor car factories," is the statement of A. G. Seiberling, general manager of the Haynes Automobile Company. "The automobile plants on short no tice can work in at once on any plun of industrial preparedness. The time that it would take an automobile plant, engaged in the manufacture of pleasure cars, to transform its output for war production would be compara tively short. With co-operation now on the part of the Department of War, there is no good reason why the change culd not be accomplished as quickly and etflciently as in the cases of many German factories at the out break of the European war. "The struggle of the last twenty months has shown that present day battles are largely fought with gaso line. Warfare makes a crying need for strong, fast cars for carrying com mandments and small bodies of troops. Motor cars for this kind of service must be capable of standing the Jolt ing of rough, shell-ploughed roads and meet standards hitherto unknown for speed and stamina. The better made touring cars and roadsters could move to the front for immediate ser vice in ease of a present outbreak. "If, however, the vital demand was for ordnance or heavy trucks to trans port food and ammunition, the of the pleasure car factories could be^ turned toward these ends on short no tice. The most satisfactory solution for handling the motor car situation is to organize automobile plants at the present time, and to plan their work in the event of war. "While it is not policy to court trouble, it is sound logic to be prepar ed to move efficiently if trouble breaks out. If war comes—and we certainly have no sure promise that it will not— I venture to say no quicker and more willing mobilization of industrial re sources will transpire, than that in the automobile industry."
