mediufh, Ousler said, informed him at

spirit éold her “Houdini's days as

“You don't vut any stock in it, do
you?” 'Ot.xil.et: inquired, aware of many§

did not, but nevertheless, “he Admit
ted that it had made an’impression

.On the day after he read of Houdi

HELIUM FROM HYDROGEN

i The experiments of the scientists
ére il'um:nx the first authenticated in-f
stances in t.he struggle of scientists iu‘
llm"ell the mysteries of atoms :md“
elactrons in which bigger atoms have
been made out of little ones, instead
of smaller ones out of big ones. When
Professor Miethe and others said they
produced gold from mercury, they
'b:'oke down an element; but since
" the atomic weight of helium is al
most four times that of hydrogen, the
Berlin savants claim actually to have
built up an elemeut,
Drs. Peters and Paneth said they
placed . a gquantity of palladium sponge
in a sealed test tube of chemically
pure hydrogen. Heated to a high
temperature for 48 hours, the palla-
ten-thousandth of a cubic centimeter
of helium from the hydrogen in every}
succeeding 24 hourfi. A gpectroscoplc}
analysis confirmed the presence of
helium, which ir a number of other
experiments they said they ran off
and separated in another tube. The
process is not expensive. The time
and labor element is the only thing,
they claim; which so far mitigates
against the ugefulness of the process
for commercial helium manufacture.
WORD FROM EMMA EAMES
Emma Eames, prima donna, is en
joying her home and writing her
memoirs.
“When you strike your high note,
retire,”” is her advice, and she ad
heres to it. Only once since her re
tirement in 1912 has she made a pub
’llc appearance. It was in 1916 at a
church charity concert in Portland,
%Maine. She declares she never will
;sing again in public.
~ “Never try to stage a ‘come back,’”
she advises singers especially. “Per
haps I made a mistake by retiring so
«oon, from a financial standpoint, but
I left the public with memories of
my voicg at itg best. 1 am comfort
able, I have achieved success, 1 am
told, and perhaps I have left a mem
ory among my hearers which is more
beautiful than if my voice had weak
eneq through trying to sing a few
more years.” |
' i\me. Eames, ‘not yet sixty, looks
ten years younger. She is living
quietly in-Paris,~not-far from the
Wotna and e Thades, ;
She and her husband., Emilio de
(Gogorza, are particularly proud of
their apartment, whieh expresses the
taste of a great artist, .u;fl.l’ll‘ in which
they have lived since last January,
moving in when the masons were
still at work on the interior of the
lower floors. It was while climbing
the littered stairways to the fourth
floor where her apartment is located
{hat she strained her heart and the
museles of one leg, as a result of
which she became a partial invalid.
The large entrance hall is really a
library. The dining-room, which she
likes most, 19 a. real New England
one for which she ‘brought furnish
ings from herhome’in ' Bath when she
left Maine in 1923 to make her home
in Paris, to escape the cold winters.
1 Working on her memoirs anq re
’ceiving a few friends occasionally oc-
Tcuples the time of the singer.
|
i Mme, Eames is an ‘nn}eql _conserva
tonist, a lover of the ‘movies but!an
Tenemy of the radio. ‘I never did
;like squeaks and I don't like static,”
’-she declared. “When I hear music, [
want to relax and be bathed in it,
‘and that is impossible with radio.”
’ Mme. Eames hates war and refuses
to enter Germany eight years after
El.he armistice. '
.TEN MAIN REASONS FOR
| POULTRY FAILURES
—J. H. Wood, in The Progressive
Farmer: :
“Ninety vper cent of the _‘onlls-‘,we.
4%% !’q_r )m')lp ‘,wi‘gzll ?m}.lt&r,v E?n:(\ caused
from Jack ot astention to simple de
tails in handling the flock,” says Al
len (. Oliver, poultry oxtonsionaspe('.-
ialist at State Qollege. “Ranely do
,‘,-9 get a oa}l‘if.rot)h;j ‘pnqe‘,;t;r«;inémn@f
of farmers who give their flhimr_((l_s_wg‘he
right attention. If 1 were to sum up
the most frequent causes of failure,
I weuld list the following 10:
I.~—The poultry house alluw‘;d to be
dark., damp, and drafty.
2—Drinking from fountains or
tronghs allowed to he dirty and filthy
or from stagnant pools of water. :
2.—Lack of fresh air and sunshine,
nature's disinfectants, in the house.
4 —Failure to clean and disinfect
the house.
f-—Keeping the flock pem\‘ed up in
unsanitary houses and yards.
6.—Allowing dead poultry to remain
exposed.
7.~-Allowing sick poultry to run
with remainder of the flock.
8. —Building the poultry house in a
low, damp location
9 —Failure to provide sufficient
clean water and shade in summer.
FIO.-—FN'milting lice. mites, and oth
er vermin to infest birds and houses.
‘These 10 things may be observed

I Col. Charles L. Harris is a native
of North Georgia. He disclaims any
!more responsibility touching this fact
than rests upon him with respect to
‘this year's cotton prices, not having
been consulted in either case. Some
time subsequent to his nativity Col.
Harris was superintendent of schools
in hig county up there, and still later,
assistant prosecuting attorney for his
circuit. Those who know him best
esteem him most highly—both there
and here. We refrain from naming
any who are not in that class. Time
and space—well—
In the earlier days of Col. Harris’
ipracuce as an attorney-at-law, he wag
consulted; also employed in defense
lol’ a typical young mountaineer of
{the county of Fannin, who was charg
ied wit hbeing the terrible aggressor
lin a blood-curdling fight with one
! Jons Murdock, a neighbor. At the
’heginning of the trouble was 'Thun
i derer, a. certain yellow hound, prop
}url,\' of Col. Harris’ belligerent client,
|
{Jons it seems, had enticed Thunder
;cr away from his proper home en
gvimnmem and influences to be chief
'aolm' in a ’'possum hunt. Thus cor
|rupting Thunderer's morals and
!|hrowing a monkey-wrench in the
lsmooth-running machinery of rela
;_tions with Lank Heflter._Tbunderer's
'_rix’a_s'tel'.” Hence ibe awtul fight.
. Harrig' tlient, Lank lester, assum
ed to fbegfi: with, an atiltlifl'e, of dig
’nifiml:'i‘e:fce'nc’e with respect to the
gory imcident in which” he had been
sa prmci;pal. He ‘was plainly averse
!tn Imalfilngl recital "of the fearful de
italls. Under pressare he did say
this much: “I reckon, ag how 1 done
Im_v part in that fight ’twixt me and
' Jons, and Bud Yawa he seed it.”
Whereupon Col. Harris sougijt a per
gonal interview with Bud Yawn, yglm‘
was destined, it appeared, to be ‘(he‘
star witness for the defense in thé
am‘)ma('hing court trial. y
“Were you present, Mr. Yawn, when
this fight took place between Lank
Hester and Jons Murdock?” Col. Har
ris inquired. .
Bud was not over-hasty in making
reply. 4"ll‘e evidently had some set
tleq conviction about the matter’s im
portance and of what constituted
proper judicial 'nttitudg and whole
some deliberation in the premises.
These mental quirks he outwardly
demonstrated also by ejectment cf a
continuous stream of tobacco juice
between two fingers and from his lips
to a ertain knot-hole in a plank,
‘and by reé(ljustment of his q'ni(l, The
latter being a necessary part of his
program for saying anything at all
This prelude over, Bud gave Marris
an upper-cut glance and said:
“[ was thar, Mister; present, you
might say [ was present.”
“Dig you see this fight from start
to finish, Mr. Yawn?" :
“Mister, I aint denyin’ I seed the
whole show from snout to tail. I
was thar, present, and hit was the
wust. fight, Mister, I has ever seed
in my ‘horn days, irom end to end—
cloan"throngh." answered Yawn,
“Which' cne of these men deliver
ed tb»_c’ first blow, Mr. Yawn "
~“They wasn't n'.n't_\'f li’ck pacsed,
:;\lisl.tl\'i*;;n;n'ry. None a-tdll.” :
"\\'lllmv ?kiml of weapons were em
vloyed? Did- either- Hester or Mur
dock have a gun, Mr. iYawn?"
“Weuns aint seed marry weepin,
Mister. They wont no huntin' knives
nor squirrel rifles present, s'fur as
1 knows, Mister.”
“Now. Mr. Yawn. which of these
combatants received the worst
wounds in this fearful fight that you
saw with your own eyes from start
to finish?” f : |
“Mister, Jons aint toched Lank an’
Lank aint scratched Jons vloux‘i“
the most that is m}edvd‘—is—s—ome \\ox‘)\i
and a prover regard for the dumh‘
creatures, 1
Mr. Oliver makes the added pre
caution that birds should not l)e|
crowded in the house during the da,\"
nor on the rocsts at night. FEach hen
needs about three square feet oi’?
floor space and from 7 to 10 inches
‘of roosting space. Plenty of rloan‘
water and well kept quarters are al
ways needed for succes: with poultry.
MW feht=—the WUsSt T ever Seeu wiar
they wont no f :bnt, Mister,
hit was a dog-fall 't.wixt Jons an’
Lank, s'fur's I knows. But cussin’—
Mister, you orter heered ‘em.”
Col, Harris’ client came out of the
trial as urscathed as he did out of
the fight. Except, of course, a small
fee attaching in the court matter.
