NATURAL CAMOUFLAGE FAILS WAVY STRIPES have gone a long way toward hiding many of our ships from the enemy, but the probable originator of such camouflage found it a detriment in the incident portrayed above. Policeman Donald G. D* ager found little difficulty in spotting the zebra shown here after it escaped from the National Zoo in Washington, D. C. A little faficy lasso work followed, and the chase was over. ( International ) WANTED: Logging help. Eigh^ laborers to work as wood cutters, swampers and truckers helpers and two teamsters.

A waxy starch corn is being grown in Iowa to replace the supplies of tapioca that formerly came from the Dutch East Indies. Ewes, heavy with lambs, should be separated from the flock. A 4 by 4 lambing pen will often prevent lambs from wandering off and causing the ewes to disown them. A. V. Thomas, assistant county agent of Craven County, reports the removal of 85 birds in culling three flocks of 290 birds. He suggests that flocks be culled from time to time, and the best birds kept CARD OF THANKS We wish to express our appreciation to friends and neighbors for the kind ness shown us in our recent bereave ment.

Red . . ry repeating itself but some his tory is not good enough to repeat. We told lc^st week why 9.4% of ?overnment-insured mortgages de aulted and cost the national treas ury more than $600 apiece. If that thould be repeated on ten million tomes to start building soon after he war, government's loss alone vould shoot well above half a billion, ind that's the small part. j Suppose only 9% of ten million aew, post-war hofines are lost by^ore :losure; that would be 900,000 lomes. Hopeful owners usually pay 20% down, which is $800 on a $4,000 louse. Few buyers, living in such l house a year, could escape a loss if $1,000 at least. This profitless payment for vain hopes would total >00 million dollars. Worst of all, it jvould come from frugal, industri ous, home-making people. I Need Not Happen ?J The foregoing simple arithmetic Vould seem pretty gloomy if it abso lutely had to happen, but it does aot. It offers an idea of how much ax money will be wasted if pre-war methods are used in financing post i'var houses. The danger is real. All he controls affecting the quality of gilding today existed during the ?ooin that followed World War One. Borry kouses may still be built and old on payments. r Instalment home-buying is practi !al economy. Discounting notes is ound banking. Government insur ince of loans has been a blessing; >aved many a family from calamity mnd many a lender from ruin. But ihodrly construction blights all this, ft muk*Js neither good homes nor ^ood security for a bank loan. Lend ing is the cue. Mortgage money is me key to better building, f Houses Warrantable , Buildings under construction need competent and impartial supervi sion and rating, somewhat as steam >hips are rated, or as a business irm's credit is rated. This is to protcct lender and borrower both against mortgages far out of line \vith a building's actual worth. Such an agency exists, Certified Building Registry, relatively little used, but jenown to leading associations of [architects, engineers and general Contractors. Few money lenders are qualified to judge structural fitness. Many a home buyer never sees his house until its inner defects are hidden by decorative enticements. Yet buyer and banker both deserve the protec tion of a rating that means (1) a home worth its price in a working man's money, and (2) security for the bank that holds the paper. Protects the Buyrr In the interest of public safety local 'governments require periodic inspection of passenger elevators and pressure boilers. Stock selling schemes must stand rigid inspection by state authority. It would seem even more important that ready made residences carry a seal of merit. In the welter of a buying boom it would distinguish a specula tive builder to sell impartially rated feouses. trtrtrbtrCrCrtitrMtt?b'{:'{rZ?'?r<('Cr-ii'Crto,{rCrtf WAR QUIZ . CORNER WHO IS HE?

"Farmers are not jus tified in changing from a native va riety of corn, wrth which they arc familiar, to a com hybrid unless the hybrid possesses certain character istics that make it superior to the na tive variety," says Dr. R. P. Moore of the Agricultural Experiment Station at State College. "Not only must the hybrid be superior, but its su periority must be sufficiently great so that the extra expenditure for seed will be an investment rather than c" expense. Many hybrids are now available that will return 1.000 per oent or more interest on the seed in vestment when compared side by side varieties of corn now grown. Yes, even with certified varieties." QUESTION ? The windows of my brooder house are on the south side, pull in at the top, und have side shields. Why does the litter get so damp? ANSWER? T. T. Brown, Extension poultry specialist at State College, suggests that you do not have proper ventilation and that when the cold air meets the warm air, the latter loses a part of its water and keeps the litter damp. He also suggests that you provide air outlets on the south side betweeh the rafters above the piate so as to give good ventilation.
