or through soiled water, the worm
passes down the gullet to the stomach
and then to the small intestine just
beyond the gizzard. Here these eggs
hatch and the young worms enter the
blood vessels and are carried to the
liver. If we now examine a scraping
from such a liver we will find these
small embryonic worms; later we will
find them in the lungs.
In the liver and lungs they spend
about 10 days during which time they
undergo certain body changes and
then find their way out into the large
bronchi and up the trachea. If scrap-
ings from the trachea (windpipe) he
examined at this time these small
worms whose structure shows them
to belong to the round worm of the
intestines will be found. After about
two months the worm is developed
into full size and is about 1 1-2 to 2
inches long. These worms live in the
intestinal tract for many years or in
most cases during the life of the bird
unless the bird is given the tobacco,
wormzen or othei’ treatment. The
young birds are more susceptible to
these worms than the older birds. It
is the plan to raise the brooder chicks
and the range chicks on ground on
which no bird has been allowed as
piece of droppings the size of a
wheat grain from a worm invested
bird would be sufficient to contain
dozens of the eggs which, if ttaken
in by another bird either in the feed
or contaminated water, would start
worm infestation in the flock. After
the birds are grown and ready to
place in the flock in the fall, they
have a greater resistance to worm in-
festation.
Next week I will take up the giz- ;

AVashington, Nov. 7.—In the old
school days you learned about “equi-
noctial storms” at this time of year?
They are a myth and have no stand-
ing i nmeteorology, according to a
statement by the American Nature
Association. This will shock thou-
sands who have carried from school
days some hazy information about
“equinoctial storms,” such as caught
the Shenandoah. They are line
squalls.
“No maximum of storm frequency
is found, according to statistics,
either in this country or in Europe,
close to the date of either equinox,”
according to the American Nature
Association, which publishes in ex-
tended statement on the point in Na-
ture Magazine, by C. F. Talman, of
the United States weather bureau.
“Of course, in the long run many
storms do occur about these dates,
just as they occur at all
times,” the writer points out,
there is no scientific reason for sup-
posing their occurrence can be con-
nected in any way with the sun’s
passage over what the school boy de-
scribed as a ‘menagerie lion running
around the earth.’ ”
How Belief Started.
An “equinoctial” is looked for in
the United States particularly in the
autumn. The autumnal equinox oc-
curs during the season of AVest India
hurricanes, and it occasionally hap-
pens that storms of this character
sweep up our Eastern seaboard with-
in a week or two of the date in ques-
tion, extending their influence far in-
land. These events have probably
helped to foster the widespread be-
lief in an autumnal equinoctial storm.
“The Shenandoah was caught in a
line squall,” the statement continues.
“A balloon or airplane would not have

Mrs. AV. A. Rice died AVednesday

The child had eaten grapes and it
been exposed to similar strain
would probably have weathered
'gale.
“In fact, part of the wrecked
ship, containing some of the gas bags,
was wafted to earth 12 miles from
the scene of the disaster, carrying
several members of the crew to a safe
landing.
“The squall that caused this trag-
edy of the air takes its place in the
catalog of historic storms. It brought
to general knowledge the fact, pre-
viously little realized except by
weathermen and airmen, that storms
can wreak their fury by blowing ver-
tically as well as horizontally. It
also naturalized the term ‘line-squall’
in the popular vocabulary.
“Violent upward and downward
movements of the air prevail in all
squalls and thunderstorms. This fact
has been known for many years, but
it has only recently assumed prac-
tical importance. Formerly only the
birds and occasional balloonists were
whirled aloft or dashed downward
by vertical gales, but today such gales
threaten the lives of an army of aero-
nauts.
“Squalls, like tornadoes, are of such
brief duration and generally of such
limited area that they defy predic-
tion by means of the ordinary ma-
chinery of weather forecasting.
“As to storms, the ‘Big AVind
Ireland,’ January 6 and 7, 1839,
cording to contemporary newspaper
accounts, was one of the great weath-
er disasters of modern times.

The nominating committee present-
ed the slate, and with one change
from the 1925 officers, they were all
re-elected. The one change made
was for other work, and not on ac-
count of better material.
Then came the birthday program
and the “activities” proved the
girls (?) who put in more than 50
pieces of money (one for each year
lived) are just as nimble as those who
require fewer mile posts to indicate
years. ’Twas lots of fun.
The birthday cake with its candles
always is an interesting feature, and
provokes lots of amusement.
The “Sunbeams” came next
even some of the proverbal
daughter, T' ‘ ~ '
Austin r four sons, M.*W. \
Lockhart; W .G. Callihan, San Mar-
cos; R. R. Higgins, Fresno, Cal., and
A. S. Higgins, Austin. Three sisters,
Mrs. Fannie Diliard, Austin; Mrs. W.
P. Ridout, Lockhart, and Mrs. J. W.

Mrs. Higgins was a former resi-
dent of Luling and has relatives and
many old friends there.
BY SUPT. OF PUBLICITY.
Mrs. A. S. Morton heads the week’s
social calendar among the Methodists
With a party which she gave to her
Class of young girls. Since we were
not of the invited few, we will just
Say it was- one of the nice things of
the week, because we do know the
hostess, and congratulate these girls
On having Mrs. Morton as their en-
thusiastic leader.
The last on the week’s list is a big
duck supper given by (or to, we do
not know which) the Wesley class of
youn men — Mr. Pat Thompson,
teacher. Now, not being a member of,
Or wife of, this class, we were not in-
cluded in the “you are cordially, etc.,”
but judging by the things of other
days in the class circle, we will be
bold and assert that the eats were fine
and the fellowship jovial. But we do
know about one thing:
“The All Day Study Class.”
This was a meeting of all the cir-
cles of the Missionary Auxiliary for
the study of “From Over the Border,”
by Vernon Monroe McCombs. This
book is a very opportune study for
the missionary ladies in the church
to study, but especially those of us
Who are so closely associated with
the Mexican folk as are the Texas
people. A leader was selected, and
circle representatives of the circles
gave a very comprehensive review of
the text. All, oi- many of the condi-
tions existing in our very midst were
discussed by the author of the book.
At the noon hour, a regular Mexican
lunch was served in the chapel, at
Which we had the pleasure of enter-
taining Dr. Bob Adams of Houston,
Rev. Bell of Matagorda and Bro. C.
Pugsley, our own religious leader.
Mrs. Geo. Helmecke is the study
^superintendent of the auxiliary and
she had the following leaders for the
book: Mrs. G. A. Moore had the
opening chapter and hers was the ef-
fort of giving a vivid picture of the
conditions among the “peonage” cir-
cumstances as they are in reality in
the border states. Her argument was
psycological—rather than logical, but
was intended to furnish the back-
ground for the whole study.
Mrs. Amos Lee gave the historical
and geographical chapter, which was
intensely interesting to us all in
that it refreshed our memories, and
gave us a better understanding of
the present situation.
Mrs. L. A. Pierce was very interest-
ing in chapter on “education,” for
she was able to throw in some high
