CHOOSE COCKERELS
EARLY FOR FUTURE
Base Selection on the Body,
Size and Maturity.
By F. p. Jeffrey, Instructor In Poultry
Husbandry, New Jersey College of
Agriculture.—WNU Service.
It is not too early to begin to se
lect cockerels for next year’s breed
ing pens. A common error among
poultrymen is to sell the largest
and quickest maturing cockerels on
the broiler market and keep the
later maturing birds for breeders.
Such a practice may mean a few
extra dollars now, but in reality it
is a very short-sighted policy.
Poultrymen who do not pedigree
should keep a large number of the
early hatched cockerels. Remem
ber it is essential to retain a rela
tively large number to insure a
good selection later in the year. Se
lection should be based on large
body size and early sexual maturity.
The poultryman who practices
pedigree breeding should retain
three or four of the best cockerels
from each female breeder. It will
be impossible to determine the best
families until the sisters of these
prospective breeders have been lay
ing at least three months. For those
who want to reduce the number of
cockerels to be held over the sum
mer, the only sensible basis of cull
ing at this date would be hatchabil
ity of the dam and livability to date
of brothers and sisters.
Roads Bureau Reports
on Ways to Kill Weeds
A recent report by the bureau of
public roads of the United States
Department of Agriculture de
scribes methods used by state high
way departments in eradicating
weeds aiong roadsides.
Machine mowing, most generally
used, often must be supplemented
by hand cutting or by use of chem
icals to kill weeds not reached by
the mower. Highways of modern
design, with slopes that can be
reached easily by mowers and side
ditches that can be mowed over,
make machine mowing more effec
tive.
Burning is 'used mostly to dis
pose of cut or killed weeds. Vari
ous chemicals are particularly
adaptable for use along guardrails,
around culvert headwalls, and in
other places not readily accessible
for cutting.
Improvements undoubtedly will
be made in present methods of weed
control and new methods will be dis
covered, say highway engineers, but
effective control is possible with the
methods now used. Regardless of
methods used, they say it is im
portant that eradication be thor
ough, for small patches of undam
aged weeds may reseed large areas
and offset work done.
Besides being unsightly, roadside
weeds may hide highway warning
signs, shorten vision, and hinder
drainage. Control of roadside weeds
directly benefits farmers. Seeds
from uncontrolled roadside weeds
are carried to adjacent fields by
wind, water and birds. Passing au
tomobiles carry seed to distant
points to infest new areas.
The bureau of public roads re
gards weed destruction as part of
a permanent roadside-improvement
program.

PICKLE fashion? Maybe so, but I
* decidedly practical and depend
able when occasion demands. Be as
sured when it comes to proper
clothes for outdoor activities mod
ern fashion is displaying an effi
ciency that is equal to every de
mand for practicality and wear
ability plus all that can be desired
in the way of smart style. It is
really amazing and most gratify
ing to see how skilfully the esthetic
and the utilitarian combine in pres
ent day apparel.
Speaking of fashion from the
practical viewpoint, have you noted
the clever use being made of denim
in the sportswear realm, just plain
ordinary denim such as is used for
workmen’s overalls? Designers are
making the swankiest tailored jack
et suits of it. Goodlooking? Yes, in
deed, and as to withstanding stren
ous wear and tear, we leave that
for you to figure out for yourself.
Slacks and shorts of denim too, are
on the sportswear style program.
And there’s bed ticking, the sim
ple “homey” blue and white stripe
sort, or giddier stripes if you pre
fer. It’s fun to see what fashion is
doing with this sturdy material,
making separate skirts of it, jack
ets, beach robes and simple one
piece frocks and like denim there’s
“no wear out to it.”
On board ship and at all smart
resorts many women are wearing
shorts and tailored shirts (see il
lustrated to left) made of service
able chambray, the kind workmen
have always depended upon to give
good wear. This reliable fabric now
enters the high-style sportswear pic
ture, and being completely shrunk
aforehand, workmen’s chambray
becomes the perfect fabric for
strenuous play clothes for fashion
able women.
Aye, aye sir, the sailor’s life is
the life for any girl who owns such
a timely costume as the venturous
young woman is wearing, making
the hazardous climb among the
ship’s rigging as pictured in the

GAY SILK PRINT

As the season progresses the fas
cination of silk prints leads on and
on to acquire another and another
and "just one more.” The latest
message is for brilliant flowers in
gorgeous purples and vibrant blues
and exotic magenta reds and bright
greens and other ravishing colors
printed on white backgrounds. Typ
ical of this midsummer spirit in
prints is the handsome model
shown. It is a white silk crepe pat
terned in medium size florals. A
grand dress to wear to afternoon oc
casions. The neck is high with a
tiny collar that flaunts a spaghetti
tie in purple. The large hat is most
interesting and significant since it
bespeaks a type of millinery that
is new and outstanding. The long I
gloves are according to the latest I
style dictates. 1

when it comes to setting a fashion
pace on dry land it is aU that it
should be.
If you want to show up colors rlly
in fashion’s swim and beach parade
by all means choose a flamboyant
print. Designers land print this sea
son for the entire outfit, swim suit,
matching beach coat, accessories
’n everything, even to the very san
dals one wears. Printed silk crepe
that washes to perfection makes the
one-piece bathing suit with halter
top shown to center-left in the pic
ture. The matching long beach coat
has a shirred yoke and full push
up sleeves.
To fashionables who go in for
aquatic sports here is a message to
delight the imagination. It’s con
cerning the wide use of costume
jewelry being made this season by
those who go forth to brave the
surf. Things that walk or swim or
fly is the theme for the pins and
clips to adorn bathing suits and such.
The idea is to wear pinned here
and there on your swim suit frogs,
turtles, or decorative fish hand
carved from rich white catalin. See
the cunning little lady to the right
in the picture. Her clever play-suit
is of Congo cloth with giay, white
and red striped halter and gray
shorts trimmed with same striping.
A hand-carved frog of handsome
white catalin blinks at you from
the edge of her amusing coconut
husk hat, another frog is pinned
to her halter bodice while a third
pins casually to one side near her
waistline. Clever idea these beach
jewelry novelties, and the fad is
being taken up with enthusiasm.

NEW SUMMER SUITS
FAVOR EMBROIDERY
Heim has gone in for embroidered
details on spring and summer suits.
One black tailored suit in black
wool has a straight little skirt and a
tailored and fitted jacket that fas
tens high at the neck with a cut-out
and embroidered design of a bird in
a cage. The round cage is banded
by gold embroidery which matches
the gold braid that trims the neck
line. Inside the round cage is a nat
ural linen foundation upon which is
embroidered a little silk bird.
A more summery suit is grege
(between gray and beige) shantung.
The skirt is made with front pleats
that are stitched down to the knees
and then pressed into place. The
jacket fastens high at the neck but
is cut away in a center V to make
small revers and to reveal a blouse
of black linen embroidered all over
in a conventional design of colored
birds.
Skirt* Shorter and Fuller
in Late Pari* Collection
Shorter, fuller skirts are shown
in the new Chanel collection and
waistlines are slightly dropped to
give a more youthful silhouette.
Series of small pockets trim the
tailored clothes, and there are
many touches of bright red through
out the entire collection.
Tulles, laces and sheer organdies
are shown in white and in pastel
shades for summery evening gowns
that are fashioned with full, bouf
fant skirts to stress the youthful
and girlish trend.
Nassau Hats for Beach
Those picturesque colorful hats
worn by dusky market women of
Nassau and Havana have influenced
beach hat fashions. Made of reeds,
they are gay as summer and flat

Alone at Party, You
Can Still Enjoy It!
TN EAR Mrs. Post: Doesn’t my
husband, who is to be an usher
at a wedding, have to spend any
time with me—a stranger—at the
reception? I am invited to every
thing but none of the husbands and
wives of the attendants have been
asked to sit with the wedding party
at breakfast, and I feel a little ap
palled at the thought of being en
tirely alone at the reception
Answer: Hew busy youi husband
will be kept at the reception de
pends upon whether the reception is
a formal one at which the women
guests stand in line, each on the
arm of an usher, who presents her
to the bride and groom, or whether
the guests go up to the bridal cou
ple by themselves. But in any event
your husband would certainly join
you (if he does not go with you)
when you arrive at the reception
and introduce you to everyone in
the receiving line. And unless he
too is a stranger he would intro
duce other friends of his to you
before leaving you to usher other
guests. Or perhaps he will be free
to stay with you until the bridal
party takes its place at table.
During the breakfast he would be
obliged to leave you, but since, ac
cording to your account, there will
be other unattached husbands and
wives there, it seems to me that
you would naturally form a group
together. If for any reason this is
not practical, then the only thing to
do is to consider the happenings
around you as you would were you
an onlooker at a spectacle. It is
not at all embarrassing and not
even unamusing if you can assume
an impersonal point of view.
Probably you think I am talking
nonsense. As a matter of fact, I
remember an occasion many years
ago when a young woman found
herself alone at a party among com
plete strangers—and she did just
that! She watched what was going
on with such evident enjoyment of
the picture surrounding her, that
as it happened she was not long
alone. But even if she had been, I
am sure she would not have minded
at all. To sit alone and neglected
among people one knows would be
another matter.

When Do You Start
Calling a Boy “Mr.”?
DEAR Mrs. Post: (1) At exactly
what age should young people
be introduced as “Miss” and “Mr.”
to their elders, and (2) Does your
same answer to No. 1 also apply to
introductions between contempora
ries?
Answer: Girls are not introduced
as “Miss” nor boys as “Mr.” until
they seem grown—this “seems” de
termined according to appearance
and mental qualifications. But usu
ally a girl would be introduced as
“Miss” at about seventeen and a
boy at nineteen or twenty. (2) No,
they are given a title at a much
younger age when introduced by
persons whom they know slightly.
On the other hand, when introduced
by one of their intimate friends to
another who is also an intimate
friend of the one introducing them,
they are called by their whole name
without any titles. “Sally Green-
Bill Neighbor.”

Taste Governs Mourning.
DEAR Mrs. Post: I am just
twenty-one and have lost my
mother. What will others expect of
me in the matter of mourning, both
as to behavior and dress? I feel
my loss deeply and I don’t want
others to think I don’t, and yet I
don’t want to carry my grief so
plainly that others will be de
pressed. nor do I want to make
things worse for myself. May I go
to a local athletic club to which
my family belongs to use the gym
nasium and to swim and play
games?
Answer: How you behave indi
cates much more the depth of your
mourning than what you wear or
where you go. This does not mean
to let yourself cry, or sit wrapped
in jour own sadness, but merely
that you should behave with quiet
inconspicuousness. No one expects
you not to go to the houses of your
friends, either when they are alone
or when they are having a very few
others who are also your friends.
Naturally you would not go to
dances or to big parties. You can,
however, go to the movies with a
member of your family or a friend
alone. And of course you need not
give up sports that can be consid
ered exercise and are therefore nec
essary to your health.

Reception Rhythm.
DEAR Mrs. Post: When there is
to be no dancing at the recep
ticn, what type of music does the
orchestra play? I wish we could
have dance music but I suppose
this would be unsuitable under the
circumstances.
Answer: They play popular mu
sic of the day. This can perfectly
well include dance music even
though no one dances.

'Way Back When
By JEANNE
FRED MAC MURRAY WASHED
CARS FOR A LIVING
■^■ECESSITY is the mother of in
’ vention, they say; and if that
is so I think someone should em
phasize that “Courage is the fa
ther of opportunity.” So many
times, when things look blackest, it
seems that only by drawing on re
serve strength can we keep going.
Suddenly we find ourselves face to
face with opportunity. Everything
looked hopeless before. We were
really almost ready to give up.
And, then looking back, we wonder
how things could have seemed a*
bad as they were.
Fred Mac Murray was born in
Kankakee, 111., in 1908, and spent
his boyhood in Beaver Dam, Wis.
He lived a normal small town life
for an American youngster. In 1925,
when he was seventeen, he was
awarded the annual American Le
gion medal for the student show
ing the most well-rounded develop
ment in scholastic subjects and
sports. His mother worked in of
fices to support them both, and
Fred attended Carroll college in
A®
Waukesha, Wis., earning his way
by playing the saxophone. A bro
ken hip forced his mother to quit
work, and Fred left college to try
to blow a living out of his saxo
phone. They moved to Hollywood,
Calif., for her health and the boy
was glad to get a job washing cars
in a garage, to pay her hospital
bills. Before he could collect *lis
pay, the garage went bankrupt. Mid
Fred Mac Murray faced a discour
aging period without a job. He
tried to obtain work in the picture
studios as a saxophone player, but
had no luck. Things looked very
black, indeed.
Then, he was signed up with a
band called the California Collegi
ans, which worked its way to New
York city and was hired for the play
"Three's a Crowd.” Fred had a
small bit which led to a slightly bet
ter part in “Roberta.” A talent
scout for Paramount saw him,
brought him back to Hollywood, and
he was given a contract which led
to his success in pictures.

POET LAUREATE OF ENGLAND
WAS A PORTER IN A SALOON
WHAT romantic occupation
could you possibly predict for
a boy so adventurous that no one
could control him, so reckless that
the aunt who took care of him after
his father and mother died inden
tured him to a merchant ship at the
age of fourteen to curb him? That
was John Masefield’s start in life
and today he holds the highest hon
ors England can give any poet.
Born in Ledburn, Herefordshire,
England, in 1874, he sailed the seas
for three years. Leaving the ship
in port at New York city, he took
any odd job he could get. He
worked in a bakery and in a livery
stable. He was porter in Luke
O’Connor’s saloon at the Columbian
hotel near Jefferson Market jaiL
Then he moved to Yonkers, at the
north end of New York city, where
he worked in a carpet factory, ris
ing to the magnificent position of
“mistake finder” at $8.50 per week.
It was at this time, in his early
twenties, that Masefield started to
write poetry and in 1897 he left for
London. His first volume of verses,
“Salt Water Ballads," was pub
lished in 1902 opening with "A Con
secration,” in which he announces
himself as the champion of “the
dust and scum of the earth.” Books
of verse and novels followed, one
upon the other, and John Masefield
became established as one of Eng
land’s greatest poets.
So, remember John Masefield be
fore you pass judgment on that
neighbor's boy who is such a holy
terror or that young scamp who
। works in the saloon across the rail
road tracks. j
