Sly students at Princeton were ca pable of following intelligently a lec ture in French, and their reading was wide. To read the output of the younger American authors is to be convinced tliat it could not be the expression of an \incultured people. A novelist such as Hemingway, by his taste and his restraint, heralds a great epoch. A critic like Edmund Wilson would do honor to any French or English review. Tile tone of tiie host magazines in dicates a true taste for ideas. It miglit he answered that these maga zines address themselves only to a small minority of highbrows, and that the rest are vulgar. Rut Is not that true of all countries? For ray part, I think, like my fol low eountrymaii, Paul Morand, that we shall have (lilficulty in saving our westei'ii civilization during the next few decades, but that one of its sane- tnaries, along witli Paris, London and .some of the great European uni versities. will he tile rocky islets of Ulaiihattan.—Andre Maurois In the London Morning Post.

The historical barriers between Spain and the allied and associated powers were not to be surmounted. Tlie deepest bitter memory of the Spaniard is the Napoleonic invasion and the agony of the Peninsular war. Even after a hundred years there could be no unity of sentiment be tween France and Spain. Gibraltar, though a faded cau.se of irritation, still plays a part in Spanish tliouglit. But the real hatred was for the United States, and the final loss of the last remnants of the Spanish colonial empire left an aching void In the breasts of a proud race. The aristocracy were pro-German. The middle classes anti-French. As the king said, “Only I and the mob are for the Allies.” The best that could be hoped for was that Spain should be neutral in the struggle; and certainly she prospered by her abstention from it.—Winston Church ill In Collier’s.

Lock Thai Keeps Records A recording lock that not only tells the time it was opened but the key that did it, has been invented, says Popular Mechanics Magazine, It can be used in connection with any stand ard make of door fitting. It prints on a tiny paper roll, like that in a cash register, what time it was opened. It has facilities for as many as six keys, each making its own forgerj’-proof imprint on the roll. Retort That Appealed to Roosevelt’s Humor The agitation about the useless noises of a big city reminds a cer tain eighiy-three-year-old Washing ton contractor of a time when his company was filling in the land tliat is now Potomac park. There was a battery of dredges at work there, and their puffing, snorting, and scraping .so disturbed the repose of the members of the White House family that a-certain Colonel Haines was sent to register a complaint by none other than the nation’s Chief Executive. “You tell the President,” said the chief of the contracting gang, “that I'm sorry I can’t grind out sym phonies.” And when he received the answer, Theodore Roosevelt laughed long and loud and the work of .the dredg ers continued.

The secret of ft lies in the facts that a nought is a cipher and that it is easy to make this word “sigh for” whenever re quired.

One day, while he was drawing his regular dole, his pres ent patron took occasion to rally him good-humoredly on not being worth the cost of his upkeep; in fact, of being lazy and iio-account in general. “Y'es, sell, I expect that’s right,” the old man agreed. “But It ain’t my fault. I remembers the day when your grandpappy paid ?],200 for me, end then Mr. Lincoln comes along with the ’manicipation proclamation and made me just plumb worthless.” —Country Gentleman, Made specially for BABIES and CHILDREN I’liysicians tell us that one condi tion is nearly always present when a child has a digestive upset, a starting cold or other little ailment. Consti pation. The first step towards relief is to rid the body of impure wastes, And for this nothing is better than genuine Castoria! Castoria is a pure vegetable preparation made specially for babies and children. This means it is mild and gentle; that it contavi* no harsh drugs, no narcotics. Yet It always gets results! You never have to coax children to take Castoria. Ileal Castoria always bears the name: CASTORIA Dorothy’s Mother Proves Claim Children don’t or dinarily take to med icines but here’s one that all of them love. Perhaps it shouldn’t be called a medicine at all. It's more like a rich, concentrated food. It’s pure, wholesome, sweet to the taste and sweet in your child’s little stomach. It builds up and strength ens weak, puny, underweight chil dren, makes them eat heartily, brings the roses back to their cheeks, makes them playful, energetic, full of life. And no bilious, headachy, constipated, feverish, fretful baby or child ever failed to respond to the gentle influence of California Fig Syrup on their little bowels. It starts lazy bowels quick, cleans them out thoroughly, tones and strengthens them so they continue to act nor mally, of their own accord. Millions of mothers know about California Fig Syrup from experi ence. A Western mother, Mrs. J. G. Moore, 119 Cliff Ave.. San Antonio, Texas, says: “California Fig Syrup is certainly all that’s claimed for it. I have proved that with my little Dorothy. She was a bottle baby and very delicate. Her bowels were weak. I started her on Fig Syrup when she was a few months old and it regulated her, quick. I have used it witli her ever since for colds and every little set-back and her wonder ful condition tells better than words how it helps.” Don’t be imposed on. See that fue Fig Syrup you buy bears the name, “California” so you’ll get the genu ine, famous for 50 years. Known as Sea Unicorn The narwhal, an Arctic whale. Is known also as the “sea unicorn.” Like the dolphin, it travels in schools, but It is -seldom seen south of the polar seas. Little Is known of it, but in the logs of old-time mariners, there was frequent report of the piercing of a vessel’s hull by a nar whal’s ivory tusks. Because the cen ter of the tusk, or horn, is hollow, ivory of the narwhal has never achieved commercial importance.

N. U., ATLANTA, NO. 5-1932 Hogs Respond to Good Treatment Clean House anii Lot a Big Help in Profitable Raising. Hog growers who are practicing sanitatiou, feeding of a protein sup- plemenc and a mineral mixture, using self feeders and vaccinating their pigs, are finding that these recommended practices pay. This is the statement of George R- Henderson, county extension agent at large for the Colorado Agricultural college, who has made a survey of hog production methods on 8b farms. Here is what lie found regarding san itation: Farmers who change their hog lots at least every two years are saving an average of six and one-half pigs per litter, compared to four and one- fifth pigs per litter saved by those who simply clean their farrowing houses, but let the pigs run on old ground. Farmers who neitlier change lots nor clean the farrowing houses are saving an average of three and nine-tenths pigs per litter, which is considered too low to enable the grow er to break even on the enterprise. Figs in the feed lot also respond to a good system of sanitation, it was found. Where hog lots are clianged and houses cleaned, farmers are market ing hogs at 210 pounds in 211 days or taking about 200 days to produce 200-pouiid hogs. Where houses are cleaned, but lots are not changed, hogs are marketed at 188 pounds in 225 days, or at 200 pounds in 240 days. Where no sanitation system is followed, It takes 21(5 days for pigs to average 17(5 pounds, and 245 days to produce 200-pound hogs. “In order to make money on hogs,” says Hen derson, “lending farmers have found that they must follow certain prac tices. One of these is sanitation. Sanitation means clean sows, clean houses, clean lots and clean pastures.” Handle Potatoes Sc as to Avoid Any Bruising Too often men handle potatoes as if they were stones, forgetting thal ev ery Injury reduces quality. Bruising potatoes is an expensive practice. It offsets the good all previous efforts have done to produce a quality crop. The digging should be done 11 pos sible when soils are neitlier too wet nor too dry. Wet soils discolor tubers badly, while dry soil slips through the digger, leaving the potatoes to be bruised on the apron. By padding and substituting smooth rollers for the agi tators this danger is reduced. Deep digging provides more dirt to protect the potatoes from machine damage. Deep digging gets all the crop. Then, too, sunning the potatoes toughens them. Further, quality is protected by picking in a padded half-bushel for a couple of hours after digging and haul ing to the storage in crates. In addi tion padding the grader, especially the apron, running the grader slowly and placing something soft under the sacks being filled, are necessary in securing the type of potatoes most demanded by the trade. Such precautions, if gen erally practiced, would add consumer value to the crop, Better Sires Pay Well Good bulls—bulls of high producing strains and with great prepotency as breeders—Increase the productivity and, hence, the profitableness of the dairy herd. Just suppose, for easy figuring. Chat a herd of 10 daughters produce 100 pounds of butter fat per year each more than did a herd consisting ot their 10 dams. That is 1,000 pounds of butter fat. Suppose that It was worth 40 cents a pound, which it should be in average times. That’s 40,(XX) cents, of $400, and it is mostly clear velvet over the profits made In the herd of dams.' Would it pay to use better sires and receive that Increased income, or even higher Income? Well, it lias paid and is now paying a great many dairymen —Idaho Farmer. Insulate Poultry House Tests at Nebraska Agricultural college indicate that at the usual prices insulation for a 20 by 20-foot poultry house will cost about $.50 or about 4(1 cents per bird housed. If this cost is spread over the life of the house, it amounts to about two eggs per hen per winter. We know by experience that quick changes in temperature in winter may throw a flock out of production for several days or even for the rest of the winter, just when egg prices are the highest. If seems quite rea sonable that good Insulation with Its effective influence on slowing up temperature changes inside the house should help very materially In keep ing up the winter egg production and should pay several times over the small cost.—Wisconsin Agriculturist. Ensiling Don’t Kill Weeds Weed seed which has gone throiigli the process of ensiling in a siio is not necessarily made harmless for growing in the fields later on. a ten-year experi ment conducted in the silos of the dairy department at the Kansas Agri cultural college shows. In fact, the tests indicated that some noxious weed seed seemed to be strengthened by soaking in silage for several months. In some cases, weed seed that had been in the silo three years was still viable. Spraying the Orchard Because tbe ground is more solid and winds less severe in the early win ter than In the spring, many orchard men find it advisable to apply dormant sprays to their trees in winter rather than to wait until spring, states Mon roe McCowan, Purdue university. Leaf curl of peaches and the scale insects can be controlled by sprays applied at any time during tlie dormant pe riod. With this job done, the spring work can be managed to better advan tages.—Prairie Farmer. He carries it with him. ready for just such times. That little box of Bayer Aspirin.

If it’s genuine aspirin it can’t possibly hurt you; and how it does banish the aches and pains caused by colds, neuralgia, neuritis, lumbago, and even rheumatism. Bayer Aspirin will insure your comfort through the worst cold season. The more susceptible you are to colds, the more you need it.

New Drugs Solve Murder* Baffling murders may now be solved simply by giving the suspect a drug recently developed by a Unl- ver.sity of Chicago chemist, accord ing to Modern Mechanics and Inven tions Magazine. The drug depresses the nervous system and causes for getfulness, thereby breaking down the truth-telling inhibitions so as to cause the patient to tell the truth in spite of liiraself. Tractor Statistics In number of tractors per 100,000 acres of crop land, California leads all states with 523. New York is second, with 492. Illinois has the most tractors on farms, Kansas comes second, and California is sev- entli on the list. In value of all farm machinery equipment, Iowa is at the head of the list, Texas is sec ond and California is tenth. These figures are drawn from the govern ment census report of 1930.
