Revolution in Austria
Why Paint Toenails?
Slow Waltz, Less Fighting
Watching the Hen Lay 1
Vienna and what is left of Austria
■re threatened with a revolution.
Signs placed secretly on mail boxes
read:
“Workers and comrades, remain
united and be careful. The day of
revenge is coming.'’ Signed “A
Fighter.”
With that comes news that the
Vienna-Paris-London express train was
wrecked in Austria by the removal
of a steel rail, causing the death of ■
fireman and one other and injuring
many. The result of such tactics,
keeping travelers and money out of
Austria, may be to bring revolution
more rapidly.

F"'1 AMILLE came running into the
house where her fragile little aunt
sat alone in a sunny window, her fin-
gers busy with some dainty needle-
work. Agatha Andrews lifted her
quiet gray eyes and saw the dark
sparkling beauty of the girl, the rich
coloring of youth and perfect health—
and radiant joy.
“Auntie, I’ve had a darling time!”
cried Camilla breathlessly whirling
into a chair. “Guess who was there—
and I met him !” she ended ecstatically.
Agatha Andrews turned her fair
face and looked out into the flower
garden which seemed to waver uncer-
tainly before her hurt eyes; all the
blossom seemed to nod their heads and
say, “I told you so—-I told you so—
some day—”
In New Orleans the convention of
“American Cosmeticians,” manufac-
turers and distributors of things that
ladies put on their faces, announce
more in the way of transformation
than has been seen thus far—hair of
many colors, easily changed; very fine
“precious stone” effects on the finger
nails.
Many things can be forgiven, but
hope and pray that ladies and cos-
meticians can be persuaded to give
up painting the toenails. It is a
terrible thing when a young woman
crosses her legs to see, peeping
out of new-fangled sandals, a big toe
with a nail made to look like a cabo-
chon ruby.
Knowledge of mob psychology Is
shown In the statement of a night
club manager.
“When a fight breaks out in the
club the orchestra has orders to stop
jazz and everything exciting and play
a slow, dreamy waltz. That quiets
them.”
According to information obtained
by Mr. ‘“Whirligig,” a quiet waltz
keeps those not interested in the fight
from joining it.
An intelligent Frenchman, Gustave
Le Bon, has written a book called La
Foule (“The Crowd”), that confirms
the night club manager’s theory.
Crowds do not reason; logical argu-
ments have no effect on them. But
music does affect them, and so does
loud yelling.
A distinguished American, living in
Spain, told how wonderfully fresh the
eggs were. The farmer’s wife would
watch the hen sitting on the nest,
taking the egg as soon as it was laid,
and give it to the American for break-
fast.
Similarly, the earnest, conscientious
American tax collectors watch the
country’s business men sitting on the
industrial nest and take away the
dollar as soon as it is made.
The veterans’ administration in
Washington laid down the interesting
rule'that blind veterans of the World
war should receive almost twice as
much as a soldier who lost a leg in
battle.
The legless veteran gets $119 a
month as a maximum. If he has lost
the use of both feet, or both hands, or
one foot and one hand and one eye, he
can get a maximum of $175 a month.
A veteran totally blind Is entitled to
$150 a month, plus $50 for a nurse
or attendant, “even though the blind-
ness resulted from willful miscon-
duct.”
Except insanity, no misfortune
is greater than loss of eyesight.
If you feel gloomy and perhaps begin
to feel that “the world is going to the
dogs,” remember that the Gracchi be-
lieved it in Rome long ago. Adam
and Eve believed it when they were
put out of the garden. The world has
always been “going to the dogs,” yet
always getting better.
May first, according to the Presi-
dent’s proclamation, will be “Child
Health day.” The best way to pro-
mote child health is to encourage
abundant distribution of the right
kinds of food for children, particu-
larly good, fresh milk, butter, eggs,
fresh vegetables, fruits, at reasonable
prices.
To pay farmers to cut down pro-
duction of such things, and force up
prices, may be good for prosperity, but
it will not be good for the health of
children.
In the Stroud (Okla.) prison young
Mr. Raymond Boles, if that is his right
name, knows that young, shrinking,
timid American girls are sometimes
dangerous. He walked into the Ru-
dell home, pistol in hand, told Mildred,
sixteen, and her sister, Lillian, seven-
teen, that he was none other than the
famous bandit, “Pretty Boy” Floyd,
demanded the key to their absent fa-
ther’s automobile. Lillian took away
his pistol, Mildred held him by the
hair.
Since Uncle Sam went off the gold
basis and began buying gold at any
price he had to pay, he has brought
across the water about $700,000,000
Worth of new gold, an increase In our
gold reserve greater than the total gold
ownership of any other nation of earth,
oxcept France, England and Spain.
This makes Europe feel dubious
about “selling dollars short.” To go
off the gold, and then own nearly all
of it, is confusing. We might get back

T"*^OULTRY experts of the Depart-
' ment of Agriculture after care-
i ful experiments and studies
have concluded that there is
no truth in the old contention that the
breeding of poultry strains for high
egg production is impairing the qual-
ity of eggs.
For untold centuries the hen has
been a companion of man in the on-
ward march of civilization.
In America, where poultry husband-
ry has attained its greatest develop-
ment, the hen has become one of our
leading national assets, growing in the
past fifty years from a neglected side
line on the average farm to a position
where she is considered by the farmer
as a very efficient contributor to his
yearly income.
The hen might be termed a univer-
sal favorite, in that a greater number
of persons are interested and actually
concerned with poultry than with any
other form of live stock. Last year
there were more than 450,000,000
chickens in the United States.
The yearly value of the products of
the American hen has at times passed
the billion-dollar mark.
The great bulk of poultry and eggs
produced In the United States comes
from the Corn Belt states of the upper
Mississippi valley. In fact, nearly one-
half of our poultry population, or ap-
proximately 200,000,000 chickens, is
found in what are known as the North
Central states.
No Longer a Hobby.
For many years a considerable pro-
portion of our poultry population was
kept in back lots of city and suburban
communities by persons primarily en-
gaged in some remunerative occupa-
tion. Poultry was raised largely for
pleasure and as a hobby, and inciden-
tally to insure a goodly supply of fresh
eggs and meat for the family table.
Surveys made a few years ago in
eastern urban and suburban areas
showed an average of one bird to ev-
ery two people. Such flocks, averag-
ing from 10 to 25 fowls, were usually
well cared for and consisted of birds
of high quality.
The postwar period has witnessed
the gradual disappearance of many of
these back-lot poultrymen.
This change in habits among a great
mass of our population has fortunately
been accompanied by the development
of large commercial poultry farms and
specialized henneries, which have
found popular favor not only on the
North American continent, but in many
Old world countries.
Commercial poultry farms are espe-
cially successful near large centers of
population, where the demand is for
a strictly fresh, new-laid egg and fresh-
killed poultry. Hundreds of such en-
terprises are being successfully oper-
ated In the Atlantic and Pacific coast
states. The eastern sections produce
especially for the New York trade, and
the Pacific coast sections, after meet-
ing the demands of the larger Pacific
coast cities, ship their eggs to the At-
lantic seaboard, where they find a
ready market at attractive prices.
Industry Is Systemized.
Revolutionary changes have been go-
ing on in the poultry industry for ten
years. Less and less attention is be-
ing given to the purely “fancy” and
to the breeding of exhibition fowls,
and more and more stress is being laid
on their economic value in the produc-
tion of human food.
The farm poultrymen are beginning
to apply sound principles in the man-
agement of their flocks and are organ-
izing co-operatively to move their
graded eggs quickly to the large con-
suming centers.
The little White Leghorn hens of
the Petaluma district, in central Cal-
ifornia, have become world famous be-
cause of the intensive conditions under
which they are kept, hundreds of thou-
sands being massed in one small val-
ley ; the entire community, depends up-
on commercial egg farming for a liveli-
hood.
It was not so many years ago that
the American hen ruled supreme in
the capacity of incubator and brooder,
faithfully sitting out the 21 dreary
days on the nest, cautiously Leading
her tender brood of fluffy youngsters
through the early stages of their de-
velopment.
The hen is too valuable today as an
egg machine to allow her to waste
weeks and months in hatching eggs
and brooding chicks. Due to Its great-
er efficiency, the modern incubator has
gradually replaced the hen.
The rapid increase in poultry and
the growing demand for baby chicks
have called for the development of In-
cubators of much greater capacity
formerly.
Credit for making possible our great
commercial poultry industry should go
in large measure to the modern mam-
moth incubator, equipped with auto-
matic ventilation and temperature con-
trol, with labor-saving devices to elimi-
nate hand-turning and hand-cooling,
with eggs stacked deck upon deck or
tier upon tier, efficiently heated with
coal, kerosene or electricity.
Parallel with the development of the
mammoth incubator, there has been
evolved the colony brooder, heated by
coal or kerosene, with a capacity of
from 300 to 1,000 chicks under each
stove. One operator can effectively
manage from 12 to 15 such brooding
units and can successfully carry
through the brooding period from 10,-
000 to 15,000 chicks.
The real romance of modern poultry
husbandry has been the unprecedented
growth in the production and ship-
ment of ready-made baby chicks.
Hatched in mammoth incubators on
breeding farms or at commercial
hatcheries, the chicks provide the most
economical and convenient method of
securing one’s foundation stock, of en-
larging one’s flock, and of providing
future generations of layers.
Shipping Baby Chicks.
Formerly, hatching eggs were the
medium whereby one poultryman pur-
chased stock from another; but some
25 years ago, from the little village
of Stockton, N. J., in the Delaware
river valley, the first baby chicks were
shipped.
For a number of years one poultry-
man had been supplying chicks in j
small quantities to his neighbors. The
success which they had with this meth-
od of acquiring poultry stock soon
spread, and little by little orders came
for chicks from more distant points,
until finally it became impossible to
make deliveries in person over the in-
creasing distances from which they
were demanded. So it came about
that this demand was met by putting
the chicks into cotton-lined wooden
boxes with holes in the top for venti-
lation. Twenty-five chicks were placed
in a package and shipped by express
their destination. The experiment
proved to be a success.
From this small beginning the in-
dustry gradually grew, until today
there are in the United States several
thousand hatcheries, equipped to pro-
duce baby chicks for shipment, and
having a capacity of approximately
200,000,000 eggs at one sitting.
At the end of the twenty-first day
since the eggs were placed in the in-
cubator, the newly hatched chicks are
ready to be graded, packed and
shipped. They are taken from the ma-
chines and moved to specially con-
structed, convenient tables in the pack-
ing room, each chick being handled
separately to see that it is a normal,
healthy individual. They are packed
for shipment in specially constructed
baby-chick boxes of from 25 to 100
chicks’ capacity.
Culling the Nonproducers.
The poultry departments of our
many state agricultural colleges have
been responsible during the past quar-
ter of a century for the development
of many scientific facts and practices,
the practical applications of which
have made possible commercial poul-
try keeping.
The ability which the poultryman
now possesses to cull his birds on a
basis of external character, to elimi-
nate the nonproducers from time to
time as they appear in the flock, is an
outstanding example.
Weekly culling during the summer
and fall brings about a reduction of
the feed costs without any decrease
in egg yield. Culling is done by ob-
serving the condition of certain sec-
ondary sex characters and body fac-
tors. The laying hen has a bright-red,
full comb. When not laying, the comb
becomes much smaller, appears
shrunken and dry. The heavy-laying
hen has a loose, pliable, soft abdomen.
In the nonlaying hen the abdomen be-
comes small, shrunken, and hard.
The hen which is laying and has
been laying heavily for some time
shows absence of yellow pigments in
shanks, beak, ear lobe, and skin, due
to the fact that the yellow color which
she obtains from her feed has been
used up in the production of egg yolks.
As soon as she ceases to lay, this color
begins to return—first to the ear lobes,
then to the beak, then to the shanks—
so that there is the definite relation
existing between amount of yellow pig-
ment and productive condition.
It is by observing certain of these
body characters that the poultryman
can tell whether biddy is simply strut-
ting around the pen looking handsome
or Is hard at work producing eggs.
“You are not listening!" reproached
the girl, for this aunt was mother and
father to her and had been for many
^ears since a fatal accident had de-
prived the child of both parents. “You
haven’t heard a word—I met i.uch an
important person at the gu>rden party
—we made heaps of money for the
hospital—and he looked and Looked at
me until he seemed to realize that he
was being rude; then Andy introduced
him to me! Auntie, I have made a
real conquest!”
“Goose,” smiled Agatha.
“Behold — the governor’s future
lady—”
“Camilla!” Miss Andrews had risen
and was staring at her niece with
wide, startled eyes in her white face.
“What do you mean?”
“Nothing but my foolishness, dear,”
explained Camilla contritely. “1 real-
ly did meet the governor himself and
he was charming to me. He is coming
to call tomorrow afternoon and we
must have tea in the garden.”
“Of course—” faltered Agatha.
“He asked after you, auntie, said he
knew you years ago, when you were
my age; he said there was a resem-
blance. Andy was frightfully jealous
of him. Isn’t he distinguished looking,
and so calm and reserved with the
twinkly look in his blue eyes? 1 adore
him!” Camilla suddenly subsided In
her changeable way, and looked dream-
ily Into the gathering twilight.
“You mustn’t hurt Andy’s feelings,
Camilla,” advised Agatha in a troubled
voice; “you know how devoted he is.”
“He seems so young and immature
! beside Governor Frayne. 1 told him
so,” she ended frankly.
“Told—Andy?”
“Yes," carelessly “on the way home.
He was quite like a bear about it—so
we are no longer engaged!"
“Oh!” cried the older woman sharp-
ly; then, as if collecting her scattered
forces, she added quietly, “l am sorry,
dear. Andy is young, but that Is a
fault we all get over some day!”
Camilla laughed and kissed her
warmly, but the slim finger where
Andy’s diamond had proudly gleamed
was quite bare.
The next afternoon Camilla made
preparations for serving tea in the
rose-bowered veranda. Miss Andrews
had silently helped her, making a loaf
of very special pound cake that her
mother used to hake. She gave the
girl carte blanche where the china
closet was concerned, and the conse-
quence was that many bits of old
china saw the light for the first time
in many years. Agatha, dressed in a
soft gray silk, with her graying hair
pinned in a knot at her neck, looked
like some pompadour figurine as she
wandered restlessly about the garden.
It was not until she heard voices at
the house that she slowly went back to
face the past.
There was Andy McDonald, stub-
bornly faithful in spite of his broken
engagement, playing with Camilla’s
cat; and there was Camilla, radiating
glorious youth, her dark bobbed hair
blowing in the sweet evening breezes,
her awed eyes lifted to Gilbert Frayne’s
face.
“Here she is at last!” cried Camilla,
and the governor whirled around to
stare for a moment at the slim figure
coming slowly across the grass. The
tea kettle bubbled furiously just then,
and Andy and Camilla flew to subdue
it, the governor went to meet Agatha,
his blue eyes keen like a boy’s.
“Agatha.” he said simply as he took
her hand in his, “you told me once
upon a. time to go away—you never
wanted to see me again—”
“Yes,” gasped Agatha faintly, her
eyes seeking her refuge, the garden.
“But one says so many foolish
things—”
“Yes—and they hurt all through the
years. What a young fool I was in those
days not to come back to you.”
“Yes,” agreed Agatha softly.
“There is sueh a lot to explain—
when I saw the chi Id yesterday I was
fascinated; I told myself it was either
your daughter or a near relative—so
—I—came.”
“I am—glad—you have been so suc-
cessful,” said Agatha, regaining her
poise somewhat.
“Yes—in a measure,” he said pa-
tiently, “but I came to find out today
whether I shall be the only bachelor
governor the state has ever known
or—”
******
“They have gone into the rose gar-
den," said Camilla indignantly.
"Why not? They were engaged to
be married and quarreled twenty years
ago—great scott, he’s kissing your
Aunt Agatha!” Andy turned his head
away from the rose garden and en-
countered Camilla's brimming eyes.
“Where’s—my ring?" she asked.
Measles Once Dire Scourge
Disease, Prevalent Just Now in the United States, Has
Wiped Out Whole Populations in the Past;
Few Escape Malady.
Practically every case of measles
develops a mild “pneumonia.”
For many centuries the disease
was not differentiated from small-
pox.
Nearly every Individual In the civ-
ilized world has the disease, know-
ingly or not, at some time.
It recurs in periodic waves, with
peaks for each community every two-
and-a-half or three years.
It has been one of the most seri-
ous scourges of mankind, wiping out
whole populations.
These are some of the curious
facts pointed out by public health
service doctors regarding the disease
which has reached the highest peak
ever recorded in the United States,
with a record of nearly 31,000 si-
multaneous cases scattered all over
the country.
It long has been known that the
greatest danger from measles was
the possibility of developing pneu-
monia. But, in a recent study of 900
cases by doctors at Bellevue hos-
pital, New York city, in which X-ray
pictures, of the chests were taken,
every one showed a mild intlamma-
tiqn of the lungs, called “capillary
bronchitis,” which constitutes mild
pneumonia.
The disease first was recognized,
it was pointed out, by an Arab doc-
tor named Thazes who lived in the
Tenth century. He described it as
a mild form of smallpox. Not until
late in the Seventeenth century did
the English physician, Sudenham,
finally distinguish measles from
smallpox and scarlet fever.
' During the American Civil war the
disease broke out in a virulent form
in both armies. For the Confeder-
ates it constituted one of the major
causes of death and was an impor-
tant factor in depleting the man
power of the South. The Union
soldiers had a low death rate. It is
believed that more of them came
from cities where, in common with
urban population in general, they
had developed a better immunity.
In 1875 a British warship carried
measles to the Fiji islands. Within
four months 40,000 out of a popula-
tion of 150,000 were dead. A few
years later it was accidentally intro-
duced into Greenland. It almost
wiped out. the Eskimo population.
Ever since, extreme precautions have
been taken against allowing an
American or European to land on
the island.
The cyclic nature of the disease
now is thoroughly recognized, ac-
cording to public health service doc-
tors. These cycles do not embrace
the country as a whole but vary with
localities.
The measles curve still is rising,
according to Assistant Surgeon Gen-
eral R. C. Williams, in charge of the
public health service statistics. The
peak may be any time between March
1 and May 1. There is no very spe-
cific treatment. The micro-organism
causing the disease is unknown. It
develops its own immunity. Prac-
tically every adult is safe from it.
Some of the public health service
staff have resorted to the use of a
serum made of their own blood as a
preventive measure for their chil-
dren—but the wisdom of this must
be decided in each case and is up to
the family physician. The efficacy
is by no means assured.
Before the days of Phazes nothing
is known of the history of measles,
but a good deal can he deduced. At
one time it must have almost wiped
out the human race. Only those
survived who were especially re-
sistant to its ravages. They acquired
a still greater resistance. In some
way they passed on either the nat-
ural or the acquired resistance to
their children. Countless generations
ago such a high resistance had been
built up in the white race that a
disease once deadlier than smallpox
or bubonic plague came to be looked
upon as a mild malady of children.
Nearly every one has measles be-
tween the. ages of two and ten. The
older the child, generally speaking,
the less danger. A case in an infant
under six months is practically un-
heard of. Every one is given a six
months’ immunity by the blood of
the mother. If it were not for this
protective measure a measles epi-
demic would probably be about as
serious a blow as could fall upon a
people.
There Is a slight variation in viru-
lence from peak to peak. This time
the disease is not very virulent.
Practically every part of the coun-
try is affected. Usually the disease
tends to be concentrated in certain
localities during a particular peak.
Record Rainfalls
Georgia lies within a region that is
remarkable for its excessive rains.
The greatest 24-hour rainfall on rec-
ord in the state is IS inches at St.
George on August 28-29, 1911, accord-
ing to the Monthly Weather Review.
This record when made had been
equaled once in Texas and exceeded
once in Louisiana. At the present 1t
has been surpassed three times in
Texas, twice in Louisiana, and once
each in Alabama, Florida and North
Carolina. The greatest of these was
23:22 inches at New Smyrna, Fla.,
October 9-10, 1924. Rainfall of 10
inches or more within 24 hours has
never been measured in several of
the northern states, and in some of
the Rocky mountain states not even
as much as 5 Inches.

"Two things I wanted-
“...and it was all so simple when I found out my

me to think that S.S.S. Tonic was just what I needed
