HEALTH MOuEL-
That's the Place North Carotins
Seems to Occupy Now.
Charlotte Observer. 4
A commission composed of nine
men from Czechoslovakia will be
shortly circulating through North
Carolina making a study of rural
health work in this Stat*. It is a
tribute to the efficient system of
the BoArd of Health that this State
has been singled out as the lo
cality of the most profitable
demonstration of public health
work iu the United States. As a
matter of course, other parts of
the country will be visited- and
health conditions studied, but
North Carolina appears to be the
only State selected for study of
results in rural communities, the
stopping..points in the itinerary
being staged at cities like Balti
more, Washington, Boston, Albany
and Saranao. The visit of these
medical men is due to the enter
prise of the International Health
Board of the Rockefeller Founda
tion, which finances the tour. The
nine men who have come over to
study'health regulations and sys
tems in North Carolina and other
parts of the United States are
obligated to to
serve their own countries for from
three to five years after their re
turn home. This is a manifesta
tion of the Rockefeller Founda
tion's determination that the peo
ple of Czechoslovakia shall be
assured* of the benefits of the edu
• cation their' representatives have
secured over here. rather a
comfortable thought that North
Carolina should have &een select
ed as the model from which health
conditions in that foreign country
should be reconstructed.
Care of Pigs in Spring.
Spring is an unhappy time for
many pigs and'sows in North Car
olina, according to W. W. Shay, of
the North Carolina Extension
Service, who says pigs will be
fouud sleeping in wet beds, fol
lowing the sow through mud and
nursing from an udder caked with
mud and flltti. As a result of
these and other abuses, such as
overfeeding the sow during the
first two weeks after farrowing,
sudden changes iu feed, and al
lowing feed to ferment in a dirty
trough, trouble develops, the
first indication usually being
scours in the pigs.
"Keep charcoal and wood ashes
before the sow at all times, de
crease her feed and add heaping
tablespopnful of flowers of sulph
ur; wash t>nd disinfect the udder;
clean and disinfect the pen; pro
vide lor plenty of sunshine, and
avoid drafts. Feed parched or
scorched shorts or meal to the
sow, also to the pigs, if old enongh
to eat.
"Plans made now will to a
great extent determine whether
this year's pork production is to
be profitable, or otherwise."

THE ALAMANCE GLEANER
Son's Failure Shows Dad «
Worth of Purebred Stock.
This is the story of a pig-growing
contest that centered between two
boys of Onslow Couuty, N. ,04
seat to the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture by a county
agent; as an illustration of the
value of purebred stock as agaiust
scrub animals. '
Leslie Williams and Reraai)
Onrgauus are boys of tie same
age, living near togetherand at
tending the same school. They
became interested in the pig-l it*
tening competition iu the local
boys'club, and enlisted the ser
vices of the oounty agent to in
duce their fathers to buy them
pure-bred pigs to start with.
One father ordered the blooded
porkei; the other gave his sou an
apparently promising homegrown
animal of uncertain ancestry,
agreeing tha.t if any other boy in
the club bent his son's record lie
would buy a purebred pig.
The two boys kept expense no
counts and weighed thiir pigu
once a month. The purebrecrpig
weighed 37 pounds at the start,
May 10. and the other pig 50
pounds.
The final record was made Ave
months latere October 10, three
days before the County fair. The
purebred pig had consumed $17.-'
GO worth of middlings, corn, pea
nut meal, and tankage, and made
a gain of 131 pounds. The other
pig consumed sls 90 worth of
corn and gained only 26 pounds,
costing more than 60. cents a
pound.
The unsuccessful young pig
owner was keenly disappointed,
but took heart when his father
made good his agreement and put
in an order for a purebred pig,
not only for the boy but for him-

ENGLISH TERMS ARE ADOPTED

Not so many of ns think of the inter- ,

The wfar has introduced "boy scout*,"
hardly to be recognised .in Its French
pronunciation. "aeootW.""Tonka" and
"nurses" are familiar words in con

Qet Buayl
Real development lies In arousing
the potential worth that has been ly
ing dormant In gour character. The
first step Is In starting something that
will challenge the whole being to ac
tivity. Many a man does not feel
equal to the tasks of the day. Bat
circumstances are such that he has to
make the start. The first few strokes
of the pencil may not mean much, but
thg fact that he starts something
arouses him to keener thinking, and
before long he may he doing his best
work. And each idea begets another
until the fellow Is aroused to full ca
pacity. Yes, and there are occasions
when the very stress of necessity'
makes a man rise to the snperman
that lies within each of God's crea
tures waiting the challenge worthy
of It—Grit »
Coal in Mexico.
The only state in Mexico producing
coal is Coahulla. Normal production
Is about 900.000 tons a year, but at
present only about half that quantity
4s obtained and none Is exported. The
shortage l'i supplied from the United
StateH. Coal is not needed for heating
purposes and charcoal Is used for
cooking.
Velocity of Light
Physicists never tire of efforts to
Increase the accuracy of tbelr knowl

science. A redetermination of the ve
locity of light by tlie Fizean toothed
wheel method was made at Nice. These
experiments were remarkable on ac
count of the great distance over which
the beam of light employed was trans
mitted. Previously such a beam bad
been caused te travel about fifteen
miles, but on this occasion the reflect
