The ROUNDER When the city's Civil Service Commission resumes giving tests or examinations, one will be held for the superintendency and assistant superintendency of the Portland-Outhwaite Recreational center which will be open to all who wish to take it. We suggest that all persons eligible should take these examinations so as to make it impossible to have a repetition of what we had under the Democratic Ray T. Miller city administration—a white superintendent and assistant, or both. The Democratic gotta get away with it because there are so very few of our people in that party. Such an act by Republicans would defeat the Republican ticket and party at the fall election, and the individual responsible for it. The Cleveland Railway Co. is preparing to operate one-man cars on Fulton, Harvard, Denison, Fairfield, E. 79th, Scovill and Central Aves. This is being bitterly opposed by the motormen and conductors' union, Local No. 268. Our people should join them in their protest and go a step further—insist, through their three members of the City Council, on the E. 30th St. Scovill and Central Ave. lines, particularly the last-mamed. The service now being given is a "pain and headache" and a disgrace to our three members of the City Council. These three lines feed the section of the city most largely populated by our people who constitute one-third of the Republican party of the city of Cleveland. That member of the City Council (Peshek) who attacked the car-jacket, was the only person among the mass of people of this community have ever as yet received from the street-car company, ought to have his head examined! It is a boon to thousands of poor people as well as others in this community. Parker McMillan, for ten years superintendent of City Hospital, now superintendent of Baltimore's Municipal Hospital, while in the city, Tuesday, suggested that Dudley S. Blossom, former color-line welfare director of this city, be made chairman of a proposed "advisory group for the City Hospital as a means of precluding political manipulation" at that institution. McMillan as superintendent of the institution was always too willing, it seems, to disregard against our people Naturally he became a willing tool of Blossom. Continuing, Mr. McMillan added: "Any committee that does not include Mr. Blossom would not do the trick." Draw a color-line, I presume. By the same token and for the same reason, any committee that includes Color-Line Welfare Director Dudley S. Blossom will prove "a pain and a headache" to Welfare Director David S. Ingalls and Mayor Harry L. Davis, neither of whom is so prejudiced as to ever make any such blunder or make mistake. We will speak all of our people of this community. Therefore, The Rounder is serving this notice in time. One third of the Republican vote (our vote) of this city will not tolerate for a single minute the appointment of former Color-Line Welfare Director Dudley S. Blossom as a member of any such committee. And this fall's county election is impending. He who rides a tiger, cannot dismount—Japanese proverb.

EDITOR, DUNBAR NEWS EDITOR, DUNBAR NEWS PANS THE N. A. A. C. P. AND CONTRASTS BOOKER T. AND DuBOIS. Like Our People, the Whites Have Leaders But No Leader—Is DuBois a Job-Hunter?—Mayor LaGuardia. New York City.—We observe with interest that in the innocence of his heart the Mayor of the City of New York expressed astonishment at the recent A. A. A. A. International Horse because of the lack of complete unanimity of opinion among our people of the greater city. To remedy the situation, he went so far as to suggest that the N.A.A.C.P. appoint a small committee to represent the local community of color in conferences with the Mayor. This suggestion has, of course, elicited a storm of protest on the part of our citizens and voters of Harlem. It was very convenient to the white community during the lifetime of Booker Washington to accept his views as being the views of the leader of our people in America. But, in perspective we know now that his views underwent signal development. Not, perhaps, until "The Souls of Booker Washington" community aware that the unanimity was more apparent than real. The sensitive and scholarly writer of that memorable volume was roundly abused for destroying the illusion. But, the DuBois of today is far closer to essential agreement with Booker Washington than he used to be. Leaders, But No Leader. Who, we beg to inquire, was the leader of white America, say, so recently as the administration of President Taft or that of Harring, or that of Mr. Hoover? To ask the question is to answer it. Neither the President himself nor anyone else was the leader of white America. There were and are innumerable leaders in innumerable fields. Owing to extraordinary conditions of which there has hitherto been no semblance in this country, President Franklin D. Roosevelt comes near to being the leader of the American people, today. And yet, there is a very lively diversity of opinion among the host of leaders of this Nation, our community quite apart. Even the members of the "Brain Trust" are not necessarily men and women. Diversity of opinion in any human community is a frequent sign of health and promise of strength rather than a symptom of weakness and portent of illness. Not every head, thank God, is cast in the same mold. Reverting to our local situation, it appears from the current issue of The Crisis and Dr. DuBois' editorial on segregation that there is no unan- Tuskegee Institute, Ala. — Dr. George W. Carver, our leading scientist, told an audience here, Saturday night, that beneficial results had been obtained in massaging victims of infantile paralysis with an oil made from peanuts. Mr. Carver, head of the science department here, said, "We are seeking a cure for infantile paralysis and we feel hopeful. I do not say that we have found a cure, but we are hopeful." One Georgia patient who was given en massage treatment with the oil showed a high growth of one and a half inches, a calf growth of three-fourths of an inch and an arm growth of three-fourths of an inch, he said. Another patient had a withered leg rested to apparent normalcy under the treatment. Dr. Carver explained several grades of the oil were used in treatment of infantile paralysis and anaemia because some of the heavy for the skins of certain patients to absorb and others too light. The scientist also exhibited a road-paving block which he had compounded of cotton and asphalt. He said it made superior roads and would wipe out the cotton surplus. It contains 3½ per cent cotton. Carver said he applies the oils by massaging them into the skins so they are absorbed through the veins. He said they appeared to be great energy, strength and weight builders. He told of an instance where the oil had aided an anaemic patient. Larry "Bumps" Another.

The debate is one of W. E. B. DuBois vs. Walter White! Is DuBois a. Job Hunter? Is DuBois a Job Hunter? While it would economize our attendance at the university, our white friends if we were all of one mind and could be voiced by one leader, such a situation would be altogether contrary to human nature.

FEDERAL AID Demanded for States in the Matter of Mob Violence and Lynch-Murder. New York City.—"The recurrence of the monstrous evil of lynching in different sections of our country is a continued national menace and disgrace. This horrible crime jeopardizes the vital authority, and indulges the law, threatens the fundamental principle of the sacredness of personality set forth in the Gospel of Jesus Christ and outrages every vestige of human conscience. "During the past decade many instances have occurred when action of state and local authorities has either been ineffective or absent in the face of the prosecution of lynchers after the act. "Within the past twelve months the governor of a state condoned a double lynching and promised pardon to any participant who might be convicted; the effort of another governor to apprehend lynchers resulted in a community uprising; and the effort of a third governor and his staff failed to secure conviction of admired inmates in a lynching. THEREFORE, BE ED. That the Executive Committee of the Federal Council of Churches, realizing that lynching has become a national shame, believes that national legislation is a moral necessity to bring the Federal Government into prompt and effective cooperation with state and local authorities in the prevention of lynching and the prosecution of lynchers."

If you do not know who Martin R. Delaney was, do not delay get- ting in touch with George W. Williams' great "History of the Negro Race" and find out. The truth of that Thomasville, Ga., kidnapping plot to extort ten thousand dollars from Howard M. Hanna, a resident of this city who has a winter home in Thomasville (like his uncle, Mark Hanna, deceased) is finally being given to the public. At first, the attempt was made to make Hansell Wilson, a member of the race, "the goat." He was charged with connection with the plot, arrested and shot to death by a "cracker" jailer who charged Wilson with attempting to escape, in order to cover up his deed. Another innocent man's life "snuffed out" to satisfy damphool southern racial prejudice. --- What a time Mrs. Thalia Fortescue Massie, originally of Kentucky, is having, according to dispatches to the daily newspapers of the country. She attempted suicide by slashing her wrists and leaping twenty feet aboard the "Roma," a steamship that entered Genoa, Italy, last week Thursday. She was removed to a hospital of that city where she is said to be convalescing. The director of the hospital said that she would recover much more rapidly but for the fact that "she smokes all day long." Mrs. Massie, who was recently divorced by her husband, was the cause of the lynch-murder, near Honolulu, of that splendid Hawaiian athlete, Kahahawai, two years ago. Little by little the truth of that terrible affair is forcing its way to the surface. CITY HOSPITAL. Our members of the Cleveland City Council should be "on their toes" and see that the city of Cleveland does not enter into any contract with the executive board of Western Reserve University or any other organization or corporation for the "establishment of a board of five civic leaders to control the management of city hospital" in such a way as to bring about the reestablishment of the "Dudley S. Blossom color-lines" at that institution. Welfare Director David S. Ingalls, we feel sure, would not knowingly permit the city to enter into any such contract. Nevertheless, it is up to our councilmen to see that no such thing is done or a way paved to bring about any such insulting conditions. The City Council is expected to approve a plan designed by Mr. Ingalls to eliminate the threat of political interference in the hospital management. It now becomes clear why Judge Florence Allen had to be removed from the arena of active politics. Her speech at the recent testimonial dinner in her honor gives the reason away. Florence is apt to make herself ridiculous when she moralizes out loud. "We have built a magnificent framework of government," the Plain Dealer quotes her as saying, "but it depends upon our best people, on lawyers everywhere to make the law do what it is intended to do—accomplish substantial justice." Now we know what was granted in the Weaver case—"substantial justice." Judge Allen might send a copy of that speech to the governor and to the attorney general of Alabama. Additional copies should be furnished to present and future members of the Ohio supreme court. Judge Carl V. Weygandt is capable of talking in similar fashion. Like his erstwhile colleague, he can pose wonderfully, speak profoundly, and say absolutely nothing worth the attention of any intelligent adult. A CHURCH CENSUS. If some enterprising student in one of our local institutions of higher learning wants to delve into a novel field of inquiry, let him interview one or two hundred white church leaders of various denominations and ask each of them what he has ever done professionally to promote racial understanding in Greater Cleveland. We venture to assert that if the gentlemen interviewed are absolutely honest with the interviewer, nine out of ten will confess that they have done nothing in advancing this necessary and concrete piece of social work. White churches today are composed almost entirely of conventional men and women who lead routine lives and think routine thoughts. It is the conventional practice for men and women of this type to be decidedly prejudiced toward minority groups; and it is not accidental, consequently, that the majority of white people seriously interested in combating racial prejudice are found outside of the church. They cannot tolerate the pious humbuggery which they must hear from the prejudiced members of the cloth and distinguished laymen who talk about equality in the next world but lack the nerve to have a qualified student of the race problem address members of their own congregation. A religious interracial meeting held in Cleveland last year suffered entirely from this otherworldliness. Such little matters as how members of the race are going to eat, where they could work and play amidst decent surroundings, and how full citizenship rights could be acquired were neglected. The speakers emphasized the cheerful prospects in the next world. Consequently nothing of the slightest importance was accomplished. How to satisfy hunger happens to be a much more interesting and important subject, these days, for sensible members of every race.

Ryan of Tacoma, editor of "Ryan's Weekly" who is now a state senator, had previously served as a member of the lower house of the Washington State Assembly. Dr. H. H. Walker of Nashville was recently elected a member of the City Council and then "turned down" by the board of elections after he had refused a $1,250 bribe to withdraw from the race. Gov. P. B. S. Pinchback of New Orleans, who moved to Washington, D. C., where he lived many years and died, was elected to the U. S. Senate in 1873, was never seated but received full pay for the long term. The majority vote of the Senate was Republican at the time. The pension law, approved in a state-wide vote last November, provides that a maximum of $25 a month shall be paid to distance care providers who have lived in Ohio at least fifteen years and have a private income of less than $200 a year.

OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT OR ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION Against the Mob and Lynch-Murder—Three Years' Work of a Member of the Race—Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law. Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has been very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years. The Ohio law follows: Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. 6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy. 6286. Go to one custody, etc., fees. 6287. County's right of action against member of mob. 6288. County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 162 1.) subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempt to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chap Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made, a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in peril, or if skillfully earn in result a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.) Section 6282 The legal representative, of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family of the victim of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be Ruth Etting, radio's most popular lines for her spring wardrobe.

(93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894. The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public house, by-living shop, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than that hundred or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble will not just use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. MARTIN R.

OUR LESSON We must learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement, we may be very sure that we will be governed by others in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not ours. George W. Blount. The Truth! What would cause other people to gnash their teeth and gird their loins is question of debate for us. Kick us, beat us, pile depredations upon us, revile us, abuse us, lie about us, malign us and even impugn our valor and we are not unanimously insulted. It seems impossible to establish unanimity of insult in the black race.—Chicago (Ill.) Whip.

Business men and women particularly should recognize the fact that advertising with circulars, bills and cards, distributed by hand or otherwise, are of little use in convincing a purchaser, and more often give him the impression that the thing advertised is an article of low quality. Those who seek to sell seemingly lose sight of the fundamental idea in advertising, namely, to give the thing advertised a legitimate appearance by advertising that the fundamental idea in pamphasers as a rule pay little attention to circular and handbill advertising because the medium through which it is advertised shares none of the responsibility as to the reliability of the thing advertised. "WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD" Cleveland, O., Aug. 25, 1932. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, Gazette Dear Friend:—I have read the latest copy of The Gazette through and after reading it, I can truthfully say: It is worth its weight in gold! I admire true manhood—a man who, seeing injustice and oppression, dares, within the limits of the law, to expose it and, if possible, smite it. You and I have frequently, during the fifty years since the birth of The Gazette, been, as the Scotch would say, like two McNells, but, when I find a man, such as you, who consistently, and persistently, chru half a minute in his life struggle, I take off my hat to him, as being a true friend of our class. Long life to you and "The Old Reliable" Gazette Yours for the right. John P. Green. (Former Memphis Ohio State Senate.) IS IT ANY USE TO CONTEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending that they are part of universal discrimination, and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self-respect and are not worthy of respect only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt.—Boston (Mass.) Guardian. A. Enjoy the feeling of well-being that Cardui brings to women!

Radio repaired so we can send our accu-mulated stories and messages. I helped dig the Fokker plane out of the snow of our blizzard last week, watched it start out on a test flight with Lieutenant Commander Isaac Schlossbach at the controls, and crash on the ice 500 yards south of the administration building. It was completely destroyed except some of the instruments and the motor. The four men in it were bruised but not injured. our commissary officer, got lost in a blizzard half a mile out of camp and was rescued by Duke Dane, one of our dog drivers. Our new medico, Dr. Louis H. Potaka, from New Zealand, perforated a marvelous appendicitis pollicis. Poltar, the portal PETER M. E. J. Demas, Avilator mapper, under terrible conditions in the Columbia radio shack, with Admiral Byrd holding the instruments. These precious instruments were almost lost in a sudden gasoline fire that almost wiped out our administration building. Dr. Potakac acutely started it while preparing for the operation. It was only put out by the heroic work of Paul Siple, Pete Demas, Stevenson Corey, and several others. Then Pilot William C. Bowlin and Clay Bailey, radio operator, got lost in a blizzard in the Pilgrim plane, 15 miles from camp and were found by Admiral Byrd in the Kellett autogyro. At 20 below zero they were sleeping peacefully in their tents and had buried their plane in the snow so the howling wind would not blow it away. They were returning from a trip to one of our southern bases, 100 miles away, so you can mark that flight on your club map with a black pencil—from the star at Little America to 79.49 south along the west meridian 163.12 and back. Then with the dog team symbol mark a course from the star along the same meridian to 81.08 south. That's where the main dog team party is now. Then make a wavy line right alongside to Lat. 80.14 where our four tractors, under command of Harold June, have successfully ploughed their way to another of our southern bases. All of these events took place after we were routed out of our bags in the middle of the night a couple of weeks ago and had to spend 24 hours carrying tons of supplies to a new location and prepare to spend the winter in tents three quarters of a mile south of Little America because a mean crack had opened up all around us and we were in serious danger of being swept out to sea. That hazard seems over, or at least postponed, now because everything is frozen THE story that nearly every fisherman tails of tasty trout temptingly made over a campfire is greatly exaggerated. Not more than one fisherman in ten knows how to cook his fish after he's caught it, according to Ray Forbes, one of America's greatest trout fishermen who reports that in order to get the utmost enjoyment out of fishing, the catch should be broiled over a campfire. "The opening of the fishing season this year was a signal answered by millions of followers of Isaak Walton," stated Mr. Forbes. "Yet not one in ten of them knows how to broil a trout properly after up tight, with continuous temperatures of around 30 below zero. It is amazing to me that events which would have been tremendously thrilling and important only six months ago are now just part of the day's work and receive only momentary notice and discussion. I spent all last week making up trail rations for the southern trek of the dog teams, tractors and planes. This is a very exacting process. Each ration is prepared according to a formula and contains sufficient food for one man for thirty days. It consists of that standby of all polar explorers, pemmican, which is a greasy concentrated meat cake, butter, tea, sugar, malted milk, bacon, cocoa, concentrated soups, powdered milk, peanut butter, salt and pepper. How would you like to live on that diet for thirty days? The rations are weighed out to a fraction of an ounce to eliminate unnecessary weight on the trail. Each party carries a complete medical kit prepared by the doctor. Here is some great news for teachers in schools and colleges who are interested in following our adventures and scientific accomplishments, with their classes. I have had a talk with Admiral Byrd about our club, which, as you know, was organized at his suggestion to encourage the 'development of American aviation and to promote interest in exploration. I have told him of the 15,000 people of high school age or over who have already joined it, without any cost whatever, and of the large number of teachers of geography, science, aviation and history, who have enrolled their entire classes. He is greatly pleased over our success and he has asked me to tell you that, through the courtesy of the Mackay Radio and Telegraph Company, he will send a personal radio message of welcome to every teacher who enrolls a class. This is very easy to accomplish. It is only necessary to send to the club headquarters the names and addresses of the teacher and pupils, with a self-addressed stamped envelope for each. If the teacher desires to give out the membership cards and the beautiful and practical $20\frac{1}{2}\times 27\frac{1}{2}$ inch working map which the club provides each member without charge, a list of the pupils and their addresses should be sent with a 3-cent stamp for each, with a request that cards and maps be sent direct to the teacher, who will receive also a personal radiogram from Admiral Byrd. All other people desiring to join this unique organization and receive cards and the tree map for marking out the Expedition's various flights and exploration journeys, should follow the same procedure—simply send self-addressed stamped envelope, plainly written, to Arthur Abele, Jr., Little America Aviation and Exploration Club, Hotel Lexington, 48th Street and Lexington Avenue, New York, N. Y. Am As Important As ook 'Em," Says Fish Expert catching it. in order to get the most pleasure out of fishing they will either have to learn how to broil 'em, or take friend wife along to do the cooking for them." Mr. Forbes' own method for preparing fish over a campfire is simple. "First you have to catch your fish" states Mr. Forbes. "That, of course, is necessary. Then wash it. split it down the back and sprinkle with pepper and Worcester salt. it should be placed on a greased wire broiler and broiled flesh side toward the flame. Melted butter should be added as a final gesture to a delicious repast. arrow A way to a Friend THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 1934. Modern Poultry Farm in America. Prepared by National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C.-WNU Service. POULTRY experts of the Department of Agriculture after careful experiments and studies have concluded that there is no truth in the old contention that the breeding of poultry strains for high egg production is impairing the quality of eggs. For untold centuries the hen has been a companion of man in the onward march of civilization. In America, where poultry husbandry has attained its greatest development, the hen has become one of our leading national assets, growing in the past fifty years from a neglected side line on the average farm to a position where she is considered by the farmer as a very efficient contributor to his yearly income. The hen might be termed a universal favorite, in that a greater number of persons are interested and actually concerned with poultry than with any other form of live stock. Last year there were more than 450,000,000 chickens in the United States. The yearly value of the products of the American hen has at times passed the billion-dollar mark. The great bulk of poultry and eggs produced in the United States comes from the Corn Belt states of the upper Mississippi valley. In fact, nearly one-half of our poultry population, or approximately 200,000,000 chickens, is found in what are known as the North Central states. For many years a considerable proportion of our poultry population was kept in back lots of city and suburban communities by persons primarily engaged in some remunerative occupation. Poultry was raised largely for pleasure and as a hobby, and incidentally to insure a goodly supply of fresh eggs and meat for the family table. Surveys made a few years ago in eastern urban and suburban areas showed an average of one bird to every two people. Such flocks, averaging from 10 to 25 fowls, were usually well cared for and consisted of birds of high quality. The postwar period has witnessed the gradual disappearance of many of these back-lot poultrymen. This change in habits among a great mass of our population has fortunately been accompanied by the development of large commercial poultry farms and specialized henries, which have found popular favor not only on the North American continent, but in many Old world countries. Commercial poultry farms are especially successful near large centers of population, where the demand is for a strictly fresh, new-leaf eggs and freshkilled poultry. Hundreds of such enterprises are being successfully operated in the Atlantic and Pacific coast states. The eastern sections produce especially for the New York trade, and the Pacific coast sections, after meeting the demands of the larger Pacific coast cities, ship their eggs to the Atlantic seaboard, where they find a ready market at attractive prices. Industry Is Systemized. Revolutionary changes have been going on in the poultry industry for ten years. Less and less attention is being given to the purely "fancy" and to the breeding of exhibition fowls, and more and more stress is being laid on their economic value in the production of human food. The farm poultrymen are beginning to apply sound principles in the management of their flocks and are organizing co-operatively to move their graded eggs quickly to the large consuming centers. The little White Leghorn hens of the Petaluma district, in central California, have become world famous because of the intensive conditions under which they are kept, hundreds of thousands being massed in one small valley; the entire community, depends upon commercial egg farming for a livelihood. It was not so many years ago that the American hen ruled supreme in the capacity of incubator and brooder, faithfully sitting out the 21 dreary days on the nest, cautiously leading her tender brood of fluffy youngsters through the early stages of their development. The hen is too valuable today as an egg machine to allow her to waste weeks and months in hatching eggs and brooding chicks. Due to its greater efficiency, the modern incubator has gradually replaced the hen. The rapid increase in poultry and the growing demand for baby chicks have called for the development of incubators of much greater capacity than formerly. No Longer a Hobby. Credit for making possible our great commercial poultry industry should go in large measure to the modern mammoth incubator, equipped with automatic ventilation and temperature control, with labor-saving devices to eliminate hand-turning and hand-cooling, with eggs stacked deck upon deck or taper upon taper, efficiently heated with coal, kerosene or electricity. Parallel with the development of the mammoth incubator, there has been evolved the colony brooder, heated by coal or kerosene, with a capacity of from 300 to 1,000 chicks under each stove. One operator can effectively manage from 12 to 15 such brooding units and can successfully carry through the brooding period from 10,000 to 15,000 chicks. The real romance of modern poultry husbandry has been the unprecedented growth in the production and shipment of ready-made baby chicks. Hatched in mammoth incubators on breeding farms or at commercial hatcheries, the chicks provide the most economical and convenient method of securing one's foundation stock, of enlarging one's flock, and of providing future generations of layers. Shipping Baby Chicks. Formerly, hatching eggs were the medium whereby one poultryman purchased stock from another; but some 25 years ago, from the little village of Stockton, N. J., in the Delaware river valley, the first baby chicks were shipped. For a number of years one poultryman had been supplying chicks in small quantities to his neighbors. The success which they had with this method of acquiring poultry stock soon spread, and little by little orders came for chicks from more distant points, until finally it became impossible to make deliveries in person over the increasing distances from which they were demanded. So it came about that this demand was met by putting the chicks into cotton-lined wooden boxes with holes in the top for ventilation. Twenty-five chicks were placed in a package and shipped by express to their destination. The experiment proved to be a success. From this small beginning the industry gradually grew, until today there are in the United States several thousand hatcheries, equipped to produce baby chicks for shipment, and having a capacity of approximately 200,000,000 eggs at one sitting. At the end of the twenty-first day since the eggs were placed in the incubator, the newly hatched chicks are ready to be graded, packed and shipped. They are taken from the machines and moved to specially constructed, convenient tables in the packing room, each chick being handled separately to see that it is a normal, healthy individual. They are packed for shipment in specially constructed baby-chick boxes of from 25 to 100 chicks' capacity. Culling the Nonproducers. The poultry departments of our many state agricultural colleges have been responsible during the past quarter of a century for the development of many scientific facts and practices, the practical applications of which have made possible commercial poultry keeping. The ability which the poultryman now possesses to cull his birds on a basis of external character, to eliminate the nonproducers from time to time as they appear in the flock, is an outstanding example. Weekly culling during the summer and fall brings about a reduction of the feed costs without any decrease in egg yield. Culling is done by observing the condition of certain secondary sex characters and body factors. The hen has a bright-red, full comb. When not laying, the comb becomes much smaller, appears shrunken and dry. The heavy-laying hen has a loose, pliable, soft abdomen. In the nonlaying hen the abdomen becomes small, shrunken, and hard. The hen which is laying and has been laying heavily for some time shows absence of yellow pigments in shanks, beak, ear lobe, and skin, due to the fact that the yellow color which she obtains from her feed has been used up in the production of egg yolks. As soon as she ceases to lay, this color begins to return—first to the ear lobes, then to the beak, then to the shanks—so that there is the definite relation existing between amount of yellow pigment and productive condition. It is by observing certain of these body characters that the poultryman can tell whether biddy is simply strutting around the pen looking handsome or is hard at work producing eggs. SCIENCE — Proving the superiority of Drybak (waterproof) Adhesive Plaster over old style adhesive in the laboratory of the Red Cross Products Division, Johnson & Johnson. The same quantity of water was put in bags made of both types of adhesive and allowed to stand. Water leaked through the ordinary adhesive, shown at left, in three hours. After 30 days not a drop had leaked through the Drybak Adhesive bag shown at right.
