Bossy’s Brew Above
Limit, Owner Finds
Geneva, Ohio.—Capt. I. D. How-
ard, North Geneva farmer, still
hopes he will not find Molly, his
favorite cow, wearing four gov-
ernment padlocks some morning.
Several days ago, Molly got hold
of some damp wheat that had
soured.
“Molly is a fool cow, like all mu-
ley cows,” said Captain Howard.
“So, of course, she ate all the
wheat she could hold. The next
morning when I milked, the foam
overran the bucket and soaked my
knees. Molly had turned herself
into a brewery and far exceeded
the legal 3.2 beer.”
Here is the champion winner. Miss
Ruth Magden of Hollywood has won
eight whistling contests; three bathing
beauty contests; two beautiful back
contests; four beautiful legs contests;
one beautiful face contest; one long
hair contest; three modeling contests,
and one contest for the best horse-
woman. In addition she has been
queen of one orange show and of four
flower shows.
Town in Kentucky Secures an
Important Industry.
Paducah, Ky.—Construction of a fac-
tory to employ 1,000 to 1,500 persons
is being financed here with home-made
money.
Recently a large firm handling shirts
previously made in the state peniten-
tiary, announced its products would
be made outside the prison and that
It was seeking location for a factory.
Paducah business men got busy.
They found the factory could be
brought here if they financed a build-
ing costing $65,000. They gave cash
and signed notes aggregating that
amount.
Leading business men met with the
Former “Goose King,” 81,
Says He Shod His Flock
Mansfield, 111.—William H. Firke,
eighty-one years old, one-time “goose
king,” whose name has graced menu
cards of some of the nation’s best
hotels, is living quietly on his farm a
half mile northwest of here.
In 1917 Firke gained his title when
he fattened 50,000 geese and sold them
to fancy poultry markets~of the East.
On one Sunday 8,000 -visitors called
at his farm to see his army of geese.
He is famous for his many stories
of exploits, the best being that about
the time he provided gi flock with shoes
in order to march them overland from
his farm in Tennessee to a railroad
67 miles away. To protect their feet,
he conceived the idea of “shoeing”
them.
Accordingly, he poured a quantity
of pitch tar, heated into a semi-liquid
state, onto the floor of his poultry
houses.
Then he drove his .geese into the
houses, where they waddled about in
the mixture for a few minutes, and
then emerged properly “shod” for
their long journey.
Hitching Posts, Blocks
Ordered Out in Den' sr
Denver.—A two-fold campaign di-
rected against carriage blocks and
hitching posts is announced by Police
Chief Albert T. Clark.
Both blocks and posts are a nui-
sance to the present-day motorists,
Chief Clark declared. In addition to
damaging machine doors and fenders,
the carriage blocks have been the
'Cause of several accidents to persons
alighting from their cars, Chief Clark
;«aid.
The blocks and posts will be re-
moved without charge by city em-
ployees, Chief Clark told his officers.
The patrolmen were instructed to ob-
tain the permission for removal from
the property owners.
Wood Is Indispensable in
“Metal Civilization.”
Washington.—Articles ranging from
telephone poles to clothespins are
among the millions of objects made of
wood which the present “metal civili-
zation” finds indispensable. Even be-
fore the institution of the President’s
forestry camps, lumbering, measured
by the number of persons engaged in
it, was one of the largest industries in
the United States, according to a bul-
letin from the National Geographic
society.
“Lumbering and forestry, as they
are at present practiced, vary widely
in their aims although the cutting of
wood is a factor in both,” says the
bulletin. “Lumbering is the term used
for the cutting of timber for an imme-
diate gain, while forestry carries the
conception of long-time planning for
continuous income. If trees are
stripped carelessly from land, it is
frequently left open to alternate
floods and droughts. Much of it be-
comes worthless for agriculture or
recreation and can support little ani-
mal life.
\ Many National Forests.
“When white men came to America,
it is estimated that there were 1,064,-
528 square miles of forest between the
Atlantic ocean and the prairies. In
what is now the West of the United
States there were 220,062 square miles.
This million and a quarter square
miles of forests had been reduced to
733,554 square miles in 1928. Over
half of this remainder had been selec-
tively cut over, leaving the smaller
trees for future growth. Of the orig-
inal forests 126,S75 square miles were
cut so ruthlessly that the land is now
practically useless.
“To discourage further devastation
of the country by thoughtless lumber-
ing methods, the government organized
the forest service. The areas under
the supervision of this service are the
tree-covered public lands in the West
which were not taken up by home-
steaders, and forests purchased from
private owners in the East. At pres-
ent there are national forests in 31
states. * Plans have been made for
camps for the unemployed in the na-
tional forests of all these states. In
states having no national forests, sim-
ilar camps will be established in state
forests or on private land.
“During the past quarter century,
the government has emphasized the
value of forests for the whole country.
mayor and decided to raise the funds
through issuance of scrip. Printers
were set to work running off $25,000
in “Certificates of Paducah Industries
Committee.”
The plan is simple. The certificates
are printed by the Paducah Industries,
a body organized to supervise opera-
tion of the plan. They are distributed
through a fiscal agent of the com-
mittee.
An employer signing a contract to
co-operate in the plan purchases a
certain number of the certificates each
week, paying $1 each for them. He
then pays his employee half in scrip
and half in legal tender.
Here enter the stickers. Before an
employee can “spend” his certificates
he must place a one cent sticker on
each certificate. The stickers are
printed and sold by the Paducah In-
dustries.
The second person who receives the
certificates uses a two cent sticker.
The third person handling affixes an-
other one cent sticker.
When these stickers total four cents
the certificates may be “cashed” for
$1 at a bank.
For the farmer—and the 1930 census
showed over 50 per cent of the popu-
lation living in rural areas—there are
two great problems that are affected
by forestry practice. One is erosion,
or the washing away of the valuable
top soil; the other is the distribution
of rain water. If there are no trees
or cover crops to slow up the rain
water as it runs down the slopes, ero-
sion is unavoidable. Thus water
which should seep down to the valleys
through a period of weeks, rushes in
torrents down the stream beds, caus-
ing floods in the valleys followed by
long periods of drought.
“Aside from the protection of farm
lands and conservation of moisture,
national forests bring the government
a direct revenue in various ways. Full
grown timber and cord wood are sold;
grazing lands are rented; water power
concessions are leased; drinking water
is furnished large cities; and irrigat-
ing systems are provided. These
projects have proved so remunerative
that even with the expense of seeding
new sections, and pruning, thinning,
and clearing underbrush in the older
growths, many of the national forests
have been put on a self-supporting
basis. From their Income some na-
tional forests contribute to the treas-
uries of counties and states in which
they are situated.
Fire Prevention.
“Perhaps the largest single expend!
ture for forestry is for fire prevention,
The toll of life is not ordinarily great,
deaths from forest fires rarely running
over 50 persons a year; but the dam-
age to forests and the dependent wa-
ter districts has been found to amount
to millions of dollars. To avoid this
loss lookouts are placed on high points
of national forests and constant watch
is kept for the telltale smoke. Forest
rangers now frequently are successful
in beating out fires before they have
passed the possibility of control. Pub-
lic education has done much to limit
the horror and waste of these fires;
but one unavoidable cause, lightning,
accounts for more than 25 per cent of
the fires.
“The forest service has been quick
to see the recreational possibilities of
the forests, and roads have been built,
hiking clubs encouraged, lake shores
cleared, trails broken, and camping
grounds established, so that tourists,
climbing enthusiasts, fishermen, and
hunters may have an opportunity to
indulge in their favorite avocations.
Summer home sites have been leased
in a number of the forests for those
who wish to live a more settled life
in the woods. Botanists and zoologists
have keenly supported the forestry
movement, so that rare plants and
animals might be preserved.
“The forest service has taken with
it roads, telephones, radio, and other
instruments of civilization and has
brought prospering occupations to for-
merly isolated spots, many of them of
striking scenic beauty. It has given a
new vision to many lumbermen, per-
suading them that ultimate good for
the country can be achieved and great
harm averted by substituting the ideal
of forestry for that of lumbering.”
Transients Increasing
Fast, Survey Reveals
St. Louis.—America’s transient pop-
ulation is increasing at an alarming
rate, a survey by G. M. Gwinner, di-
rector of the St. Louis bureau of home-
less men, indicates.
Gwinner estimates that there are
more than 500,000 men and boys drift-
ing about the country. Of these,
more than 200,000 are boys under
twenty years of age, he believes.
Trains coming into St. Louis daily
bring between 2,000 and 3,200 unin-
vited guests, the survey, made in co-
operation with railroad officials
showed. Most of these move on in a
day or two, Gwinner said.

Bridal Veils in Versatile Mood
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
F COURSE every bride
is supposed to look her
loveliest at her own wed-
ding. Which is a perfect-
ly good reason why the
right' choice of the right
veil and headdress is so
vastly important, for they
can make or mar the pic-
ture.
The fact that designers,
when it comes to bridal veils, are in a
particularly dare-to-be-original mood
this season is a good omen. It means
that modern brides are being veiled to
type rather than following prescribed
rules.
The group pictured shows how very
versatile present-day brides are being
veiled. The exquisite ensemble on the
seated figure at the top bespeaks a
recent gesture .among designers toward
crowning the bride with little beret fan-
tasies which depart from the regulation
fitted lace or tulle cap versions. The
circular flare of tulle about the face
and at the back is perfectly charming.
The lace-bordered three-quarter veil
with its rounded silhouette is an in-
novation.
Not only are these beret arrange-
ments in vogue, but some of the most
fashionable brides of the season are
wearing the most ravishing little hats
of tulle with visorlike brims, also of
tulle, a wreathlet of orange blossoms
encircling the shallow crown, the veil
draped with consummate art to fall
over the shoulders en train.
Then, too, in tune with this new
theme of tulle hats with a brim, little
“sets” are offered at smart shops,
which cater to brides, which include
enchanting flower toques, either of
roses and petals or of orange blos-
soms and buds, with muffs made of
the same, the newest idea being for
the muff to be heart-shaped. The
voluminous veil is worked to fall in
graceful billowy masses over tils flow-
er headpiece and the long train of the
gown. The inspiring thought about
these lovely flower ensembles is that
one need not take the responsiibility
and burden of working out these be-
guiling fantasties at home, for they
are available at most any milliner
shop or stores which make a spe-
cialty of outfitting brides with veils
and headdresses. Flower hats and
muffs in different Colors for the
bridesmaids complete the picture.
The alluring fitted lace cap and lace-
trimmed veil posed on the seated fig-
ure below in the picture is just such
as brides-to-be dream of when they
plan their trousseaux. The distin-
guishing feature about this veil is that
the rarely beautiful lace is inset, in-
stead of the usual border arrange-
ment.
There is something very interesting
to tell about the veil on the bride
standing to the left. The veil is made
in two sections, so that after the cere-
mony the bride can remove the lace-
bordered long train, if she so desires,
without interfering with the youthful
capelike portion which so becoming-
ly envelops her shoulders in a mist of
tulle. Thus she can move among her
guests after the ceremony with per-
fect freedom. The better shops are
showing these duo-veils this season.
For the bride who dotes on the un-
usual, the veil on the standing figure
centered to the right should prove an
attraction. It is novel because of the
high Medici pleated collar which so
handsomely defines the neckline.

SLEEVELESS COATS,
CHIC ENSEMBLES
The coming summer season, as well
fts this spring, will see the success of
ensembles composed of contrasting
coats and dresses, whether the latter
be in plain fabrics or in prints. How-
ever, this new type of ensemble will
be entirely different from the combina-
tion which has been so much in' evi-
dence this last season, and which
usually consisted of a plain coat lined
with print and matching the dress
worn beneath. The new coat will not
only be in a contrasting material and
color from the dress but will be treat-
ed as an entirely separate item.
Patou has short pearl gray coats
worn over raven-blue dresses. .Jenny
has a vivid green and carrot-red coat,
which she places over black rayon
lacquered satin dresses.
Sleeveless coats are sponsored by
leading dressmakers to give more im-
portance to the full contrasting sleeves
of the dress.
Designers Now Are Using
Plain and Printed Linen
There already has been discussion
About the importance of the printed
crepe jacket, worn with the monotone
crepe dress, and of the printed crepe
accent. Repeating this idea, but giv-
ing it a fresher appeal, designers are
now using printed linen.
The dress in solid color that intro-
duces printed linen as a trimming is
also in aummery mood, the linen light
and bright, the dress in erepy or heavy
sheer. These are practical as well as
smart fashions, since the linen is wash-
able and the trimmings are usually de-
tachable.
Chicken Foot Weave Used
in All Parts of Costume
Of course you are, or ought to be,
thoroughly familiar with that material
hit of the season called Le Pied-de-
Poule, in all of its variations. This
chicken foot weave, be it in wool, silk
or what not, works up into costumes
for everything from the top coat to
the bottom layer of lingerie next to the

JERSEY GOLF FROCK
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
There is a new jersey which has all
the appearance of being hand-knitted.
The very good-looking dress pictured
is made of this jersey, in bright blue.
It( has been given a very attractive
styling. It is adroitly tucked about
the hips so as to achieve slenderizing
lines. The draw-string neckline is an
outstanding touch. The little rope
strands form the girdle which is fast
ened with a wooden buckle.
Linen Suits in Vogue
Linen suits are going to have an im-
portant place in summer wardrobes
this year. You now can buy linen
suiting that is uncrushable and it
comes in dark, practical colors, includ-
ing black.
Remember Gloves Must
Always Be Immaculate
Light gloves, especially, must be
clean to give one that “well-groomed”
appearance. This is easy if the
gloves are washable. Just squeeze
them out every night or so w hen you
do your stockings. Try this way:
Make rich suds with mild, neutral
soap flakes, always keeping the wa-
ter lukewarm or cool. Put on the-
gloves and wash just as if you were
washing your hands. If there are
stubborn spots of soil, gently work
dry soap flakes into the leather and
continue washing. If the suds get
dirty use a fresh lot of suds. (Chamois -
and doeskin gloves need not be put
on the hands, just souse them around
in the suds as you would a blanket).
Remove the gloves by gently roll-
ing them from the wrists and rinse
in clear water, lukewarm or cool, to-
remove particles of dirt. Then work
them around in light suds of mild
soap flakes. Leaving a little mild’
soap in the gloves helps to keep the
leather pliable.
Squeeze out the moisture. Don’t,
twist, and roll in a dry turkish towel
to remove excess moisture. Unroll at
once, blow into shape and dry at
moderate temperature. Don't freeze
or put near excessive heat. While-
slightly damp soften the gloves by
gently stretching and working the-
leather between the fingers. Then
finish the drying.
Youngsters Enjoy “Zoo”
There is a children’s playground
in the Berlin zoo where the baby an-
imals are put. A visitor recently
saw there little boys and girls off
three and four sitting in a big chair
nursing baby lions and bears, while-
a picture postcard was being photo-
graphed of them. The tamest off
monkeys, baby elephants and cam-
els, rabbits and guinea pigs, baby
pigs, lambs and kids, all enjoy a
nursery lire.
Except for a jv* exceptions, there
are no cages or bars, all the doors'-
are open, and the children just play
with the baby animals, carrying
them in their arms and romping
with them as playmates. One lit-
tle tot of three was burying a
fat pig in the sand, and the piglet
thoroughly enjoyed it. It is a chil-
dren’s paradise, although perhpps-
the grownups get the most fun.
