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.

Chic Swim Suits and Deck Fashions By CHERIE NICHOLAS Eeßem: ~l ri 1- ? IIP ■ v-W A A-v y W ] t «. ■R w I j ' * r ® i - W As m WOO \ i In I “■ ■ - . sfc at 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 group. This suit is beautifully tail ored out of sanforized-shrunk cot ton. Yes, this swanky slacks and GAY SILK PRINT By CHERIE NICHOLAS ^9l j; W । 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 U wOw i lOE.Pi j W■. w J i .

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. © Western Newspaper Union. 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 tering as moonlight. GOOD TASTE TODAY ■ A *EMILY POST4> World’* Foremost Authority on Etiquette © Emily Post. 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. WNU Service. '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 SI-WNU Service.
