Some might call that the high cost of loving, or the cost of high living. | —Or Something— Take Your Choice One way to kill potato bugs is to | sprinkle them freely with Paris green, | and then it is also possible to kill the potato vines by the same manner.

But to tell the honest truth, we don’t know of any one who no- ticed it especially.

In conversation “Chestes” would talk of nothing but a wonderful new sauce he had just made. The manager sampled it and reaiized, in his own phrase, that “CLester Is, in his own way, as great an urtlst as Sir William Orpen.” He immediately offered him a very substantial salary in return for hig services during the season. ‘“Chester” at first refused to leave Paris, but finally succumbed to what is said to be the largest salary an assistant chef has ever earned.—London Times. Diners Follow the Leader. “People are like sheep,” said the cynical writer, “When a dinner is to be ordercd for a party of six there 1s generally one master mind who will select the kind of soup he wants.

To Avoid a Colorless Life. “Anyway, having the blues keeps a man from leading a colorless exist- ence,” an exchange remarks.

TH' MOSPITAL: 1S SIX RLOCKS DOWA —H' LP? SWEET BILL WOULD SAVE ABOUT 15 MILLIONS YEARLY Washington, July 19.—Enactment of the Sweet bill consolidating the three government bureaus handling ex-scldier affairs will save the na- tional budget $15,000,000 a year in overhead expenses according to effi- ciency experts on the government re- organization committee here. ‘The bill, which has the strong backing of the American Legion, has passed the house of 'representatives unammously and is on the calendar of the senate with a favorable com- mittee report behind it. American Legion leaders claim that the bill when enacted will not only save the government money through the felimination ofi much work now done in duplicate and triplicate but that it will as well greatly simplify the administration of relief for dis- abled former service”men and cut out mucl of the red tape which has hitherto rendered that relief inef- fective. The proposed - consolfdation fits in with the general scheme of government reorgarfzation and will receive the approval of President Harding, who asked for its passage. DOLLAR SHOES INVENTED - (By United Press) Paris, July 19.—Shoes at five francs a pair and they’ll last forever. if these days when a pair of pre-war American shoes costs 150 to 250 francs and when a Paris shoemaker won’t consider an order under 350 francs, the invention just announced of a method of manufacturing foot- gear at five francs, with the added advantage of the material can’t wear out, i exciting interest in anti-HCL circles. It is due to a blind worker in a factory near Lyons. He discovered so the report goes, ar{ alloy which jpermits him to make a pair of shoes weighing three and one-half ounces, water, and fire ‘proof, as solid and elegant as the finest product of the American shoe factories,” and so simply -designed that a child can put the parts together. M. Paul Michel, the inventor, is |keeping the secret of the alloy to himself. | EDUCATION LAWS TO0O- LOOSE Children’s Bureau of United States Department of Labor Deplores Some Exemptions Allowed.

N by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture) The production of the dairy herds of the future through the use of proper sires of high quality is a subject that As interesting dairy specialists of the United States Department of Agricul- ture.” There is ample evidence that such bulls improve ‘the production of their daughters, but it is a difficult matter even to estimate what the limit } in improvement in future generations will be. Figures compiled by the field man of the dairy division of the depart- ment who is encouraging bull associa- tions in Marylacd, show the improve- ; ment in produetion made by daugh- | ters of purebred sires belonging to the New Windsor Bull association, as com- pared with their dams. The six daugh- | ters of Repose’s Masher gave an aver- age of 8,197 pounds of milk in a year, and 328 pounds of butterfat. The average of the dams of these young cows was 6,782 pounds of milk and 266 pounds of fat. The average in- crease, therefore, was 1,415 pounds of milk and 60 pounds of fat. An addi- tlonal production of over 1,400 pounds of milk and 60 pounds of fat is no slight matter, the dairy specialists say. The ages at which the daughters of Repose’s Masher made their records were three, four and five years, the average being about four. “When farmers put in purebred bulls to re- place scrubs “or grades, they some- times have the feeling that the pres- ence of the new bull is a charm which will increase - the production of the herd right away,” say the dairy spe- clalists. “This is not to be expected. The cows which are bred to the bull (Prepared | Influence of Purebred Bull Is Shown Only on His Offspring. are not themselves affected in their The influence of the bull is shown only on his offspring. “It takes about four years before the first heifers from a new bull finish | their first year’s test; and as they are then only heifers, their mature moth- ers may still outdo them in produc- tion. The thing to be considered is, | What character of young cows are to | replace the old ones when the latter | are gone? “This is the principle involved in ‘bringing in meritorious bulls—to make the future cows better than the pres- ent, A dairyman should not expect to see the good results from a pure- bred bull in the first year, but wait three to five years and then see how much better his herd is. The dairy- man should look to the future and plan now by using a good purebred bull to have a better herd in from three to five years. The question fs, When these years have passed will he he where he was three to five years v ~rlier or will he be better oft? The ise dairyman, who takes the right ourse now. will at that future time find himself reaping the benefit.” SALT IS REQUIRED BY GOWSE Give Only Small Quantity on Feed and Permit Animal to Lick Rock Salt in Boxes. Salt is required by all animals, The dairy cow requires an ounce or more a day, say specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture, and while she should be given all she needs, she should not be forced to take more than she wants.

TOLD GEORGE NOT TO WORRY English Labor Leader Cared Little for That “Divinity That Doth Hedge a King” Kings have no longer any ruling power in a first-class nation. A little incident In which the king of England figured last year may be told in con- nection with the new spirit of affairs. The late Will Crooks, a labor member of parliament, a cockney with a big black beard and devoid of aitches, a sihcere and much loved man, as re- mote from highbrow socizlists as from hidebound conservatives, was among the fashionable crowd of guests at the royal garden party. The king got him into conversation. Will Crooks talked as freely to his monarch as he would to a follower in the East end of London, Both men were soon deep in the troublous times which were upon England. The king plainly showed his anxiety about the future. Will Crooks, who was the most sympathetic soul in the world, tried to reassure the king as they shook hands in good-by: “Now, look here, old chap; don’t you go worrying about things; everything is going to turn out all right, old fellow.” There Is cause for a little specula- tion in what must have been the men- tal attitude of. the nobles and dignita- ries clustered round as they observed the familiarity, But what the king thought of it is best expressed by the fact that before the next garden party he and the queen together sent a spe- clal letter to Will Crooks and his wife, saying how much they wanted them to be present.—Irank Dilmat in the Outlook. < Highest Moral Courage.

TELLS HOW TO REMEDY FOUNTAIN PEN SERVICE New York, July 19.---A simple, but effective, remedy for improve- ment of fountain pen service is récom- mended by Dr. Miller Reese Hutchin- son, formerly chief engineer and per- sonal representative to Thomas A. Edisoy, inventor of the Klaxon horn, the accusticon and innumerable elec- trtic appliances. “Users of fountain pens experience difticulty through stoppage of the fine channels through which ink is fed to the pen,” says Dr. Hutchinson. “This is caused by the sediment in the Iink. “Purchase a smail glass funnel and some filter paper from a drug store. Have /the crug clerk ddnonstrate 1 WAS ME GWY WHO ADWSED HW <O GEY MARRIED! how to fit the filter paper to the funnel. Procure a bottle df suffi- cient size to hold the contents of the ink bottle, place the funnel into it with filtered paper inserted. Pour the ink into the funmel, allowing it to filter through the paper. M.ghtly stop the ink bottle. Preserve the, spare bottle, funnel and extra filter, papen for the next time.” THIS TIME LAST YEAR Babe Ruth hit his thirtieth and thirty-first homer of the season off Dick Kerr in th esecond game of a double-header with the White Sox.
