N NEARLY every large family there
18 one person who is tacitly recog
nlzed as the household "goat."
Often this person Is the mother,
sometimes an elder daughter. Neurlj
a l w a y s the role I? filled by a woman,
because women have to stay around
t b e house. The mule members of the
family, soon o»'late, break away from
the net of domestic restraint.
On the "goat" devolve all the Irk
aoiue and disagreeable tasks that have
to be done. If the family is In mod
erate circumstances she looks after
the children and doe? the housework.
If the family Is affluent she entertains
t i e dull guests and does everybod.v
else's shopping.
She Is always generous and self
sacrificing and uncomplaining.
And
for that reason she Is always (m
posed upon.
%
Because she does not make a fuss
wuen her feelings are hurt the other
members of the family conclude that
h>r feelings can't be hurt. They love.
her, of course. But they never stop to
th!nk that their love ought to take
t o m e tangible form.
She Is urging the others to even
greater selfishness and thoughtlessness.
In time they come to accept her
service and sacrifice as merely their
due. And thus she Injures their character? even while she is depriving herself of her share of pleasure.
There la no good reason that 1 can
think of why one person should be the
victim of the family group auy more
than he should be a victim of a less
friendly group.
The members of a
football team or of a brokerage house
do not expect one person to shoulder
all the disagreeable tasks.
Why. then, should a family expect
one of Its members to give up his
comfort for the ease of the others?
I would like to see all household
"goats" rebel every Monday. A weekly
relwlllon might Jar the family Into
some appreciation of their worth.

thropologists 1 tiiat this was because to
those peoples red-haired men were
strangers, they themselves being darkhaired, and in those days strangers
and enemies were synonymous. But
Sir James Fraaer, who is the great
e?t living authority on such matters,
is of the opinion that among the ancients the red-haired man represented
the "corn-spirit," the color of his hair
corresponding to that of the ripened
grain, and points out how In Egypt
red-haired men were annually sacrificed at the shrine of Osiris and. the
body being burned, the ashes were
scattered over the fields to ln?ure a
satlsfuct-ory crop. The Idea was that
of the dying god—the death of grain.
Us sowing as seed and its resurrec
tlon in the form of a new crop. Sir
James has written at considerable
length upon the relation between the
red-haired man In antiquity and the
grain-spirit and cast? doubts upon the
"stranger" theory of the sacrifice of
the red-haired. He relies mostly up-
on Egyptian mythology and ritual.
But perhaps! Sir James and those
anthropologists who differ with him
are both right, partially. What was
true in Egypt may not have been true
in those
European
regions
from
which we most directly inherit our
folklore traditions.
In the tatter the "stranger" theory
pertiaps prevailed. I t as Maspero
says, "a study of modem superstitions will enable us to correct the
t
past by the present" this.superstition
of the hunters, that It is unlucky to
meet a red haired man, would appear
to prove tiie "stranger" theory with
regard to our European ancestors. A
red-haired man was a stranger^ a
stranger was an enemy. To meet an
enemy when starting on a hunting expedition boded III lucit, for his companions might be lurking about and
make that hunting a hunting of
"Chevy Chase."

SAWS FOR THE GOOSE;
SAWS FOR THE GANDER
By VILOA B R O T H E R S S H O R E
'> 'P*
tt Is an established fact that a flock
must average approximately .100 egaja
per hen per year in order U return
the owner a profit T h e
between the monthly flock
good flocks and poor
mainly during the fa
months. In other won
era
of profitable flocks have utl
metbods which Increase production a t a
time of year when fresh eggs are
scarce and therefore higher in price.
Early batches of early maturing
birds could be set down as one of t h e
most important points In getting heavier fall and winter production. Pollets that start laying during the tatter part of October are from batches
that came before May L, usually before April 1. They are birds that
have been well fed and are fully developed. Good birds of this character will produce greatly over 100 eggs
per year If they are properly fed a n d
housed.
Proper feeding and housing are the
second factors that must receive attention In order to get a good yield
of fall and winter eggs. Hens will
lay in the spring on a straight grain
ration. At that time they are answering nature's demands and will
lay"*If conditions are at all suitable.
However, after the normal laying season Is over, it is correspondingly hard
to secure heavy production. This can
only be done by using a ration that
supplies plenty of animal protein, minerals, and succulent feed In addition
to grain, which is needed as the b a d s
of all rations. Houses must be warm,
well ventilated and comfortable. In
other words, the hen must be fed and
managed so that phe will feel like
keeping right on with her egg production.

Parasites and diseases are the third
source of trouble. Nothing will upset a good laying flock quicker than a
lot of troublesome mites that make
the birds want to leave their regular
houses and roost in the trees.
Preparing for Winter
Around Poultry House
A thorough cleaning of the poultry
house should take place at this time
of year In preparation for winter.
The c l e a n u p should consist of removing nests, roosts, hoppers, drinking
stands and all other equipment from
the house. Each should get a thorough scrubbing with water and some
good disinfectant
The house Itself
should be sw*ipt, ceilings, walls and
floor. The floor should be well scraped
clean of all hard, dried litter and
droppings. Dirt floors should have at
least sis Inches of the old dirt taken
off and replaced with six Inches of
clean dirt.
The final clean-up step should be a
thorough spraying of the Inside of the
house with some good disinfectant
Whitewash helps to brighten a dark
house and a freshly whitewashed
house has a tendency to encourage Its
owner to keep It looking clean for
some time to come.
FOR T H E GOOSE—
W
HEN you're In trouble you think
of your relations; when you're
In danger, of your friends.
You reco'nlze an enemy after yoo
make him and a friend after you lose
him.
Custom can harden as to a great
many things1. That is why a loving
family can see one of Its members
unjustly treated day after dai and
do nothing about It
The mere,, fact that It is the cus
torn to overtook the victim's wishes In
evet7thlng finally comes to be consid
.•red an excuse for doing so.
Family tyranny is not often con
«e1ous tyranny. It is just thoughtless*
ness.
But it is tyranny all the same.
And the vicious part of it Is that
t h e more the victim submits to It the
greater the tyranny becomes.

As wise as any yon learn at school.

they seek.

From the middle of December until

Edmonds and Crawford, at the Illinois experiment station, have had
fex>d results in feeding growing draft
fillies by using in the ffrst winter
sheaf oats and alfalfa hay with half
an ordinary ration of oats and bran.
The roughage was fed in proportion
of one part sheaf oats to two parts
alfalfa. Three pounds o / o a t s to one
pound of bran was the grain ration.
The profitable hog ts the one that
eats the most. It takes about oneeighth of a full ration (by this la

you fed only enough to maintain the
hog's body, you could feed a 100pound hog a whole year nrW It would
still weigh 100 pound? and you would
be out your feed for nothing. To illustrate this, suppose that on account of
feed being hljrli you feed only two
pounds of feed per day. A full ration
Is four per cent of the live weight.
The average weight from 100 to 200
pounds Is 1 HO pounds. Four per cent
o* 150 Is six pounds—one-elghtb of six
Is three-quarters pound —the amount
required for maintaining the hog.
Then, if you feed only two pounds per
day you only have 1¼ pounds to make
gain. If you are feeding a balanced
ration every three pounds of feed
above that required *or maintenance
will make a pound of gain. Divide
the 1¼ pounds by three and you see
that you can get only five-twelfths

Sweaters Are Popular;
Comfortable and Smart
It is very important to own a number of sweaters if you have any feeling on the subject of being well
dressed. If on the other hand, clothes
bore you, it Is wise to own sweaters,
as they are the simplest and most comfortable things In the world to wear.
You can wear them eo' many more
places than you used to be able to.

roses trim the dress and the picturesque note Is decidedly present.
Dressmakers Accentuate
All That Is Feminine

small liuwers Is not unusual auiuns
the collections of important Paris
dressmakers. It Is part of the style

There are several examples In Parisian society of women who consider
flowers worn on the back side of the

worn anywhere else. Despite the exceptions, the general tendency in upper fashion circles is to remove the
emphasis from the flowers to the costume. As a rule fewer flowers are

office. They are the smartest possible
things for all kinds of sports. And
they are correct in town for shopping
and luncheon. The smartest way to
wear them Is with the new tweed
coats with matching skirts*, but they
are also worn with tailored suits and
separate skirts under fur coats.
The pull-over sweater may be
bought in solid colors or In an infinite variety of stripes and patterns.
Fine natural cashmere is very smart
in a plain sweater.
There are a number of new sweaters that are cut and made from the
Hodier knitted woolens. In this way
you can have a sweater Hint will fit
as precisely as n blouse that Is tailored to your measure. They come
in different patterns, some of them
woven with metal thretids. A popular pattern is* striped narrowly with
heige, light brown and rust.
The cardigan sweater Is always
worn with a slip-over underneath it.
It Is generally plain and mutches one
of the colors in the slip, Occasionally the cardigan Is striped or patterned In some way and the slipover
is plain.
The skirts worn with the srnart
sweaters are always related to them.
Sometimes they, too, are knitted, and
then they match exactly. When they

homespun, kasha, wool crepe or Jersey. Or they may be heavy crepe de

woolens the familiar wrap-around Is

Velours Hats Feature
N. Y. Fash ion Parade
Simplicity, softness and Individuality. What hat could deliver more
than those qualities. So say the New
York milliners when talking over the
new velours models, which are becoming such a feature of the daytime parade on Fifth and Park avenues. These velours hats are small
and almost untrimmed, except for a
ribbon band, but they lend themselves
to Individual shaping and are of the
most beautiful soft colors, which set
off the profile of the wearer excellently. Some of the new ones are in
leopard and zebra designs.
Jersey Is Favored for

Nothing is more practical for sports
wear than jersey and Its vogue is increasing every day. Traveling, motoring, golfing and walking costumes

Make Every Sale Pay Three
People
HE salesman wo* looks after nobody's Interna but bis own is putting himself up against a tougb guiue.
And, although he thinks he's looking
after "number one," he's really giving
himself the worst of it.
Making a sale and getting the
money lacks a great deal of ending
that transaction. Before you can consider your duty as having been thoroughly done, the bnyer must have
been permanently satisfied and your
employer must have made a profit If
yon have persuaded the customer to
take something that be will be discontented with later, you will have
done a bad day's work for blm, for
yourself and for your employer.
If the buyer Is dissatisfied yon
probably will have lost a customer
for the concern that pays yon your
salary. Turn a few tricks like this
and youjil lose your job. Now where
does anybody concerned get any nourishment out of that kind of business?
The retail salesman has a mighty
Influence on this country's merchandising. There are probably 750.000 of
blm now. Each of these salesmen
probably comes into close contact with
a hundred persons every day Think
of the work they can do toward making America more contented.
A clergyman or an editor may
preach * theories till he's blue in the
face, and not get as far as the salesman who ts talking real money. Too
can be a missionary of good will. Sell
your customers the goods that will
serve them best. Don't let one of
them make a mistake if you can help
It Try to set them right then If they
disregard your counsel, they'll be
grateful to you for your well-meant
effort, even though they're dissatisfied with the goods they bought

Lindy Scores Again With
His Nonstop Flight to
Mexico City.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
0I* CHARLES A. LINDBERGH
spread himself all over the front
pagss again last week. Having been
invited to visit Mexico by President
Calles, " l i n d y " tuned up the Spirit of
S t Louis and almost without warning
hopped off from Boiling field, Washington, a little after noon on Tuesday.
Twenty-seven hours and ten minutes
later he landed gracefully at Valbuena
aviation field, Mexico City, completing
the first nonstop flight between the
two capitals. The distance Is a little
•ver 2,000 miles. Lindbergh had estimated that the jaunt would take 26
hours, but after passing Tamplco he
was forced to fly high above clouds,
lost his bearings and went considerably too far to the west, passing over
Salamanca, Morella and Toluca. He
•aid the trip was the most enjoyable
and least adventurous he ever had.
Hailed as an unofficial ambassador
of good will, Lindbergh was welcomed
by an Immense throng of wildly enthusiastic Mexicans. In the grandstand were President Calles, Ambassador Morrow and his staff, diplomatic representatives of niuny other nations and a crowd of other dignlUiries.
The delay In his arrival had worried
them considerably, and
President
Calles In greeting him told of this
anxiety. Calles sent congratulatory
telegrams to President Coolid^e and
Llndy's mother, and Issued a formal
statement, in which he said:
"The United Slates In sending to
Mexico the highest representative of
Us manhood, will power and heroism.
has created closer spiritual and material relations. I congratulate Colonel

legislation authorizing the construction Of twenty-five cruL«ers, five aircraft esrrtsfs, thirty-two submarines

to be 1725,000,000. This Is understood
hf ft#*y 4dAMmla to be the first flve-

program which contemplates the eventual expenditure of between two and
three billion dollars. With the exception of battleships, this program would
place the United States almost on a

Secretary Wilbur hopes to have
work on the program started at once.
His plan is to have five cruisers, one
aircraft carrier, and a cumber of submarines and destroyers begun each
year. Ail would be started In five
years and the last ship would be completed in nine. The bill does not
specify any definite period.

4,000 were killed la the fight, and
there were wholesale executions of

severed relations with Soviet Russia and after the Canton uprising it

The Mississippi valley floods began

every effort to keep them In their

the rivers rose slowly, making evacuation possible on a scale which greatly reduced loss of life.
As the head of water moved down
the Mississippi from the Ohio and
Missouri rivers and tributaries, thousands of men in scores of localities
bulwarked nuturul or artificial barriers to hold back the deluge. At La

Loss of live stock In both regions

OR the past six years of
Tom's tea of married life he
had celebrated New Year's
apart from his wife.
He
had enjoyed what he called
"the time of his life," but it
had always ended up in an
hilarious outburst. In each
case now for six years Laurel had brought him through
and had forgiven him. Yet
each succeeding year it had
been the same thing over again.
Now another year had rolled around
and the hoys at the office were Joking
about New Year resolutions, wild
parties, etc.
As Tom got to thinking about It, he
suddenly realized that he hi id not
played fair with his wife when it
came to holiday celebrations. Filled
with remorse, he began to plan a
"Happy New Year'1 for the little worn
an this year.
The boys joked him for being so
quiet and thoughtful ; but he paid
no attention to them, for tie was deep
In thought "What could he do to pay
up for his gross neglect?" All these
years she had been so true and unselfish while he hod Indulged In utter
senseless dissipation.
"I have U," he suddenly shouted,
without realizing the whole office
force was looking in his direction.
'•Come across—what it is, a new
Joke?" exclaimed Jim, the bHl clerk.
"Oh no, far from i t " said Tom.
"I have only Just made a New
Year's resolution."
Whereupon they all laughed heartily ; and Joe, the sweeper, who was
passing by, chuckled Inwardly as

WThe florist's shop (to which he had
been a stranger for many years) and
ordered a corsage bouquet of mixed

b e found himself entering an exclusive women's apparel shop, just
around the corner. He felt sort of
wobbly In here and was just about
ready to flee when a pleasant, elderly
lady addressed him:
"What can I do for yon, sir?*1
Then he explained to her that he
would tike to have a complete outfit
for his wife for a New Year's party.
The efficient saleslady understood
perfectly, and ushered him about picking, out the finery. He remembered
hearing his wife speak of the new
color called "Tyson blue"—that blue
had been the color of her wedding
gown—so he decided to have everything of that delightful shade which

surely more blessed to give than to recehe," thought Torn-, as he trudged
along toward home.
"Now the nest move on the checkerboard," he thought, "is to get these
tilings into the house without her
knowing it."
How could he do it?
Then the thought* struck him. He
could get his sister, who lived around
the corner, to call Laurel over by
phoue. So, stopping at the first available telephone booth, he did so. Then
when the coast was clear he slipped
into the house and was up to her room
where he spread out the adorabfe outfit upon her snowy bed. The blue
against the white spread did look
beautiful, even to a man's eyes. Why
had he never thought of anything like
this before? Why, it was more fun
than all the parties he had ever attended. You see, the true holiday
spirit had hit Tom, and hit him very,
very hard.
Suddenly he heard her call: "Oh
Torn, is that you? Supper is ready
and your favorite apple dumplings."
"Yes, dear, 1 am coming," he hurriedly replied, as he rushed down two
steps at a tin*?.
But as they sat eating, lie noticed
that she was not very hungry and
wore a sad, tired expression. She, no
doubt, was thinking of the usual New
Year's escapade. Tom chuckled within as he thought of his glorious surprise. He was wondering how to proceed.
After praising the delicious apple
dumplings, for which he only received
a fnlnt sickly smile (she was not interested In such things just now), he
arose from the table and began to
dress for the evening. When nil ready,
he kissed ber goodby, and said he was
going to the club. He hated to do It.
for it nearly broke his heart to see
her lips tremble as If about to utter a
protest But she cared too much for
his happiness to Interfere, so she only
said:
"I hope you have a good time, Tom."
He quickly turned away and left
her Btandlng there, heartsick and
weary. Other years he had not been
able to comprehend; now when It
dawned upon him, he felt like a brute
and vowed a secret resolution with
his heart alone never to leave her
again.
Then he rushed around the corner
to his sister and disclosed the whole
beautiful secret. She was delighted
and gave him a big brotherly hug and
kiss. Then she said :
"Why, Tom, that Is the best thing
you ever did in your life."
"Yes, I know it, Dot, and I am
ashamed of myself—but never again."
Then he made a dash for home and
the "surprise."
His wife had thrown herself upon
the overstuffed davenport In despair,
to await the awful midnight scene.
She arose quickly, as she heard his
step in the hallway. "He must have
forgotten something, poor dear, or he
wouldn't be back so early," thought
she.
The next moment he rushed in with
a loud cry of "Happy New Year,
Laurel."
She could hardly believe her own
ears as she gazed at him stupidly.
"Why, what's the trouble, Tom?"
"Nothing, my dear, I only came to
get you to spend New Year's Eve
with me, for a change."
"How lovely, Tom, but you forgot
that I have no party outfit."
"Never mind about that, Just dress
as quickly as you can, while I glance
through the paper.",
She turned from hlra, the tears
streaming down her face, as she
thought of her only available gown,
an ugly gray cashmere. She could
tear It Into shreds, she hated It so.
On the way upstairs she secretly
wished that some disaster had come
upon It, so that she would not be
obliged to wear IL

her hazel eyes and her pretty rosebud
mouth both at once; but the words
would not come—they simply refused,

were startled by the loud ringing of

flowers against her soft cheek.
"But Tom, I am afraid It is only a
dream, and that I shall awake and
find myself in the ash heap of despair,

With a shudder she buried her head

OTH1NC1 so good for the
inside of a man as the
outside of a horse—so sayeth the doctor."
So runs an old saying
(author unknown) and apparently there are a great
many Americans who believe it. Of course, there
aren't as many of us who
answer to the call of "boots
and middles" as there were
in the old days when "westward the
course of empire takes its way." For
this is the motor age, and loday yotj
hear more often the drone of airplane
engine or the pop of automobile exhaust than you do the creak of saddle
leather and the clop-clop of horse's
hoof's. Put for all of that, this form
of travel still retains a wide popularity and there are even those who
point to a decided Increase in horseback riding for pleasure, If not for
business, within recent years.
For despite the fact that modern
America in the main goes about Its
business now on pneumatic tires,
there's still enough "ridiif, ridin' " to
keep the saddle manufacturers in business for several years yet. Perhaps
one indication of a rather widespread
interest in equestrianism is the amount
of newspaper space that has been
given within recent months to certain
long-distance riding feats which have
been under way. A recent news picture which was widely published was
that of Frank Heath of Silver Springs
Md., standing with his horse at "Milepost One" In Washington, the point
for the measurement of distances from
the capital over all the highways of
the United States. Mr. Heath, who
is a war veteran, had been "ridin', rid
i n ' " to recover his health and In the
course of a Journey of some two years
and a half on his eleven-year old horse
he had covered 11 ,*iS7 miles and visited every state in the Union.
Last year press dispatches carried
the news that Bert J. McCloud of
Fcrrt Morgan, Colo., was about to set
out on a 36,(XK) mile trip on his eight
year-old Arabian horse, "Chief Sitting
Bull." lie was to attempt flu. teat of
riding from Denver to New York and
then criss-cross the United States am;

being that he must call on all gov

Wc-i, Last year when ilic people of
KIIIMIS staged a big pageant in celebrating the famous Medicint Lodge
Indian treaty and other events in the
growth of their country, the printed
programs for the pageant included
several verses from "Uidin' " in tlie
Introduction to the episode depicting
the day of the cowboy. And that'?
only one of Innumerable Instances of
its popularity. You'll come across It
repeatedly In newspapers, you'll hear
it recited at gatherings of all kinds In
tlie West, and when an old-limer seta
him down to write his reminiscences,
the chances are that wmowhere In
the book he'll quote "Ridin'," or some
other Badger Clark poems.
"Ridin'," Itself, has had nn Interesting history, as have some of the other*of Clark's poems. After H varied
career, including an experience as a
plantation manager In Cuba where
tropical fever all but wrecked hi.-i
health, Clark went down In the cow
country of Arizona to recuperate. In
a letter to his mother he found prose
too weak to express bis content with
the wonderful desert country in which
he found himself and he trh'd to express it in verpe. The result was
'Kidin'."
His mother, with natural
pride, sent the verse to a magazine,
the old Pacific Monthly, and It was
immediately accepted and published.
Thus Badger Clnrk started as the
"poet lariat of the West" and gave to
the West Its best-loved verses. Easterners- who discovered the West last
summer for the first time, when President Coolldge's decision to establish
the summer White House in the Black
hills of South Dakota brought to that
section a horde Of tourists, also discovered this "poet lariat" and acclaimed film.
But for all of their
praise of him. the only authoritative

book of ('lark's verses, including
"Ridin'," "You can break me if there'*
