English Honors for Dawes
London.—In 1635 a stone mason
named William Dawes left his home
in Sudbury, Suffolk, and set sail for
America. In 1929 one of his descend:
ants, Gen. Charles Gates Dawes, left
his home in America and set sail for
England as American ambassador to
the court of St. James.
Sudbury desires to recognize official-
ly the fact that the Dawes family
prospered in America, and that the
most notable member of the family
has come back to England as official
representative of the United States
government. So Sudbury is to give
a party for General Dawes.
The ceremony Is scheduled for early
In October, The freedom of the bor-
ough will be bestowed upon the Amer-
ican ambassador. There will be a
public luncheon, followed by a spe-
cial meeting of the council. The
charming little town will do full jus-
tice to the occasion. The achieve.
ments of the Dawes family will be fit-
tingly honored.
William Dawes was a boy of fifteen
when he boarded the ship Planter on
April 6, 1635, and started West to
found the American branch of the
Dawes family. His father, William
Dawes, Sr. had gone out to America
in 1628 with Governor Winthrop,
founder of Boston and Salem, but re-
turned the following year. He and
his wife returned on the Ambrose and
a son was born on the voyage. The
boy was christened Ambrose.
General Dawes would like to know
more about the first William Dawes,
for there is no trace of him in the
family history except for the record
of his round trip to the New world.
A great deal more is known about
young William, founder of the Ameri.
can family. “He settled first in Brain-
tree, Mass,” General Dawes said In
tracing the family history, “where he
married Susanna Mills of that place.
The marriage took place about 1641,
when William was twenty-one years of
age. A son, named In the records
Ambrose, after his ship-born uncle,
was born in the same year.
“In the year 1652 we find William
Dawes settled in Boston, where he
built for himself a family mansion on
the east side of a lane afterwards
called ‘Sudbury street’ Five gener-
ations of our family lived in this house
until it was pulled down in 1775. Wil

Aged Man Guards Big Bridge
Del Rio, Texas.—Far from civiliza-
tion, unearthed and unsung, lives an
aged man upon whose shoulders rests
the responsibility for the safety of
thousands of lives.
In the solitude of a gorge which
rivals the Grand canyon in size and
beauty, J. R. Hutchins daily performs
his role of guardian of the third nigh-
est bridge in the world.
Flinging its arms of steel across the
Pecos river, about four miles from its
Junction with the Rio Grande, the
Pecos high bridge daily carries the
weight of a dozen Southern Pacific
trains with their loads of hundreds
of human beings.
To “Old Bob” Hutchins is entrust-
ed the task of seeing that this lofty
highway o” steel remains in perfect
condition and that neither the ravages
of time nor the vicissitudes of climate
detract from the rigidity of the struec-
ture.
Hutchins’ house is tucked away
among the rocks on the side of the
canyon. Below him is the Pecos, 150
feet wide, impetuous in its rushing
THE MAN FROM
HOME
By THOMAS 'ARKLE CLARK
Dean of Men, University of
Illinois.
“The most reserved of men,” Will-
fam Shenstone tells us, “that will not
exchange two syl-
lables together in
an English coffee-
house, should
they meet in Is-
pahan, would
drink sherbet and
eat a mess of rice
together,” which
is only another
way of saying
that if you put us
into a new en-
vironment we will
do and say things
that neither force nor persuasion
would induce us to do when we are
at home.
“I don’t mind telling you,” the man
returning to the United States from
Hawaii said to the fellow from Mil
waukee, whom he had just run into
in the smoking compartment of the
pullman, “I don’t mind telling you,
though 1 shouldn’t say it openly—"
and then he went into the most inti-
mate details concerning himself, his
family, his business, and just because
the man came from his old home
town. The man was lonesome, I sup-
pose; he was out of his regular en-
vironment and that fact put him into
a new frame of mind and led him to
throw off his ordinary reserve.
I was walking down the street in
Peoria with George Morris a few
days ago, when we came upon a man
who spoke to George in a most
friendly way.
“That is Herbert Johnson,” George
explained to me, “I meet him almost
every day on Michigan avenue in
Chicago, and he never gives me a
second glance, and here he greets me
as if we were old friends. Funny,
isn't it?” They were both away from
home.
I ran across Carroll in Segovia,
and I remember that the recognition
of his face as I saw him coming
along the street of that foreign city
Brothers Meet After Long Separation
After being separated for sixty-one years, two brothers, Henry Durr
Ruble of Toledo, Ohio, and George Washington Ruble of Desoto, Ill, have
just been united. Both served through the Civil war and then each started
out to carve his fortune, losing the address of the other. Recently some
missent mail, intended for one brother, was forwarded to the other, and this
lod to the reunion which took place at the home of George in southern
Illinois.
Henry tlef.) was born in 1847 and his brother, George, in 1843.

him stretches his “pet,” 1,521 feet long
and 321 feet above the river bed.
The brldge, one of the greatest en-
gineering feats of the West, is in-
spected daily, With an ear trained
to catch the slightest variation in
sound that comes as a train rumbles
over the structure and an eye that can
discern the slightest deflection of the
huge towers, Hutchins guards this ex-
pensive piece of property.
“Old Bob” has been at his post for
five years. He has watched the Pecos
rise until it lapped at the very door.
step of his humble dwelling. He has
pulled elephantine 100-pound catfish
from the water and caught alligator
garfish weighing over 200 pounds.
liam Dawes died in the year 1703, at
the good old age of eighty-three, leav-
ing numerous descendants, from one
of whom I am descended.”
A privately printed record of the
Dawes family, published in Boston in
1876, was compiled by Henry W. Hol-
land for the New England Historical
and Genealogical society, General
Dawes owns this work, which contains
portraits and a complete genealogical
tree. The American branch of the
Dawes family has always claimed the
right to the arms of Abraham Dawes,
of Putney, who suffered under Crom-
well and was made a baronet by
Charles II at the restoration. The
baronetcy is now extinct. The shield
bears three swans on a bend in a field
of six battle axes. The crest is a
dragon supported by a battle ax.

Big Porcelain Memorial
Dedicated in Germany
Meissen, Germany.—The world’s
greatest porcelain monument, which
has taken eight years to complete,
has just been dedicated in the seven
hundred-year-old Nicolai church in
this city, where white porcelain was
invented. The walls of the church
are covered with 1,800 porcelain plates
of citizens of Meissen killed during
the World war. These plates are
grouped around 30 over-life-sized por-
celain figures of mourning mothers
and eight giant porcelain figures hold-
ing the eternal death watch. Between |

Owners Who Tolerate Them
Are Inviting Big Losses.
Damp floors in poultry houses are
fnexcusable, in the opinion of E. R.
Gross, agricultural engineer at the
New Jersey Agricultural Experiment
station. Poultrymen who tolerate
them are inviting heavy losses in their
flocks and a general reduction in the
efficiency of the birds that survive.
A dry wooden floor may be made
of two layers of boards with building
paper between, the top layer to be a
good grade of matched flooring, so
that it may be kept clean. Many
poultrymen find it desirable to keep
the floor 12 to 18 inches above the
ground and to leave the south foun-
dation wall open for air circulation.
The other sides should be closed
| tight to keep out cold winds.
For a dry concrete floor, either of
"two methods may be used. The first
is as follows: Build the foundation
walls; level the ground inside, do not
remove any soil; fill in with 6 to 8
inches of coarse sand, gravel, or cin-
ders; and place 3% to 4 inches of con-
crete floor on top. In this construc-
tion, be sure the foundations are high
enough for the fill of cinders and the
floor. This raised floor with insulat-
ing fill will be dry.
The other method is to lay a two-
course concrete floor with a layer of
roofing paper between.
Sometimes the floor itself is not the
cause of dampness. Then the remedy
must be sought in a study of the
care of the house ventilation, litter,
or sunlight admitted.
Highly Concentrated
Foods Hurt Turkeys
The turkey has a rather large di-
gestive system and long intestines, ac-
companied by an ever-present appe-
tite, so that if birds are compelled
to satisfy this appetite on highly con-
centrated foods, indigestion is almost
certain to result.
If this 1s not immediately relieved
death will follow, and usually salts
or, better still, castor oil will effect
a cure,
Plenty of green food is essential to
young turkeys, such as alfalfa (if
lain arch. In a special shrine, made
also of porcelain, a golden book with
records of the dead suldiers is kept.

Mexico Makes War on Pirates
Mexico City.—Piracy and other con-
traband activities in Mexican Pacific
waters, principally in the Gulf of Cal-
ifornia, are decreasing, due to meas-
ures taken by the government, ac-
cording to Jose Lorenzo Sepulveda, di-
rector of fisheries.

I had considered Carroll quite dull
and uninteresting in his home town.
I had even evaded him when circum:
stances seemed likely to bring us to
gether. Now we almost threw our
arms about each other, We had a
common language and a common in-
terest, and common friends at home.
and in a strange environment these
things brought us closer together than
we bad ever been before. We be
came almost garrulous in our eager-
ness to talk to each other. We were
like the two Englishmen meeting in
Ispahan. He offered me a cigar—one
of those terrible foreign cigars,
made of excelsior or manila rope, I am
sure, the smoking of which would
have made me sick or given me a
headache for the rest of the day, and
I accepted it with real enthusiasm,
and lighted it without realizing what
I was getting into.
We talked of old experiences and
recalled old acquaintances, and re-
vived old memories which I supposed

years ago or more. We wandered
about the ancient streets in a com-
panionship which suggested the most
intimate and friendly relaticnship
and had I met him on the streets at
home I might not have given him
even a recognizing nod. I parted from
him at the end of the day—he was
going north and I south—with real
regret. 1 had never realized before

tivities as smuggling and pilfering and
have been a source of worry to au-
thorities, whom they have in many
cases openly defied. Their acts have
at times resulted in violence. They
were organized to combat all opposi-
tion to their operations.
One piracy ring was known to have
its head in Los Angeles, according to
“Excelsior.” Leaders of the ring sent
large groups of men to the border
waters in quest of loot. They carried
fishing nets, less for the purpose of
catching fish than as blinds.
Affairs came to a head recently,
however, when President Emilio
Portes Gil ordered Senor Sepulveda to
“clean up” the California gulf. As a
result of the activities of the direc-
tor of fisheries, piracy in the Mexican
Pacific is now noticeably declining.
With the revocation of alleged dis-
criminatory tariff regulations govern-
ing fisheries in the Mexican waters,
legal enterprises are springing up in |
place of fisheries which heretofore
have operated without license.

A metal line is attached to the har-

Fertile Eggs Reason
for Paltry Returns
Nature intends the egg to hatch a
chick. To get the best food results
from eggs we have to defeat nature's
purpose by producing infertile eggs.
A fertile egg is just as good as an in-
fertile one if it is used at once, but
it won't hold up under summer market
conditions.
Sell or confine the roosters as
soon as the breeding season is over,
The hens will lay just as well with-
out the male in the flock. Using
early hatched cockerels is a good
breeding practice on the farms, Sell-
ing them as soon as your hatching
season Is over saves a feed bill of
from 90 cents to $1.50 each. If you
have particularly valuable males, con-
fine them.
Difficult to Decide :
Sex of Young Poults
It is difficult to be absolutely sure
males will usually “shoot the red” and
show development of the fleshy growth
on the head a little sooner than the
females, and they are also likely to
grow more rapidly than the females.
With the Bronze variety of turkeys
the sex can also be detected by the
plumage color as soon as they are well
feathered. The breast of the females
show the characteristic white tips to
the breast feathers, while the males
will show dark tips.
Changing Breeds
Several years ago it was common ad-
vice to avoid changing breeds of poul-
try. That was before the days of the
large hatchery when poultrymen estab-
lished a flock with a few settings of
eggs, possibly bought at a high price,
and then spent several years in devel-
oping their own flocks. A change
meant starting all over In many
cases birds of both breeds would be
retained and soon a pure-bred flock be-
came a flock of crosses followed by a
flock of mongrels.
Birds Not Wantad
Most poultry keepers realize that |
there are two courses open to them in |
regard to unwanted males. One plan |
is to destroy them as soon as they can |
be distinguished; and the other is to
feed them well right from the first day
and so bring them to a fleshy condi-
tion. The latter practice is sound so
far as the early cockerels are con-
cerned, but very few poultry keepers
approve of it for later broods. Some
poultrymen do not hesitate to can all
