Ex-Pug Denny’s of six robot
Hobby-Business Planes to Uncle
Sam, to be used
in army experiments next summer.
They are expected to be curtain
callers for larger and more busi
ness-like robots, flying without pi
lots, guided by radio beams, dusting
TNT on intruders.
Reginald Denny will be re
membered as the actor extolled
a decade or so ago as “the typi
cal, wholesome young Ameri
can.” Then he turned out to be
an Englishman, a flier and ma
chine-gunner in the British royal
air force in the war. A light
comedian, he had two absorbing
interests—his screen antics and
what seemed at the time a juve
nile absorption with miniature
airplanes. From the latter, he
developed some ideas about ra
dio-controlled planes. He estab
lished the Reginald Denny In
dustries, with James Blackton,
an experienced technician, as
manager. He is making a small
“flying torpedo,” designed for
flying in swarms, with no pilot,
and with land-control of the
bomb-dropping as well as guid
ance. When completed the Unit
ed States will get it.
He ran away from school at the
age of 16 to play for Charles Froh
man at the Duke of York’s theater.
His first featured role was in the
“Merry Widow.” Then he became
a professional boxer, later champion
of the Second corps of the royal air
force.

A Scholar and the “Analects”
Gagster--That’s of Confucius,
Envoy Johnson barring possibly
“Alice in Won
derland,” which he also packs
around with him, it is his favorite
reading.
Like Henry R. Curran, deputy
mayor of New York, he believes
that public activities and atti
tudes should be infused with hu
mor. More than any other
American, he has been success
ful in translating our best an
thology of pullman car gags to
the Chinese. Following the
labyrinth of Confucius and Lao
Tze, he finds a unique approach
to the Chinese mind and has
been one of our most successful
ambassadors. But, back home,
he is sharp, exact, statistical
and thoroughly occidental,
among which attributes is a line
of up-and-coming Chamber of
Commerce oratory. He lives in
two worlds.
After his graduation from George
Washington university, Mr. Johnson
mixed with the Indians of the South
west, picked up Indian dialects with
remarkable facility, thereby discov
ering his linguistic gifts. That sent
him to China as a student interpret
er in 1906. In the Far East, he has
occupied many important posts and
is a former assistant secretary of
state. He finds the Chinese have a
lot more humor than the Japanese.

IT WAS about three years ago that
* the head of the German National
Institute of Physics denounced the
“debased Jewish atom,” and prom
. ised to deliver
Group Aims to to the Reich an
Keep Scientific untainted “Ar-
Inquiry Free yan” atom. Un-
der the banner
of “The Pragmatic and Dogmatic
Spirit in Physics," this scientific
revolution has been advanced by
the Nazi savants, and at last Amer
ican scientists mobilize against it.
Dr. Franz Boas, 80-year-old Ger
man-born American anthropologist,
heads a committee of eight distin
guished scientists in publishing a
manifesto, signed by 1,284 of their
colleagues, leaders in all branches
of science throughout America.
They “defend the right of scientists
to speak the truth as they under
stand it."
Dr. Boas spent about 55 years
studying long heads and round
heads, but was stymied by the
square heads. “If the world goes
crazy, what can we do?” he
said, resigning from Columbia
university two years ago.
He came to this country to attend
She Chicago World’s fair in 1893,
after an Arctic expedition which had
launched his career as an anthro
pologist. He remained to coach vir
tually all great American anthro
pologists and to become a world au
thority in linguistics, primitive men
tality, folklore, ethnology and senil
ity. The old Germany honored him.
The new Germany made an extra
special bonfire of his books.

LUNCH COUNTER TO
ENCOURAGE LAYERS
Expert Advises Five-Foot
Feeders for 100 Hens.
Bv Dr A. R. Winter, Poultry Department
Ohio State University.—WNU Service.
Providing free-lunch counters for
birds in the laying house is a good
way to get eggs and reduce labor
in preparing poultry feed. Each 100
hens need three five-foot feeders to
avoid overcrowding while eating and
each feeder should have a reel to
keep the chickens out of the feed.
Poultrymen might well consider
keeping the best of the two-year-old
hens rather than to sell them. Meat
prices are low and hens will lay 80
per cent as many eggs during their
second year as producers as they
did when pullets. Very few birds
are worth keeping for layers the
third year.
Poultrymen will be saved money
and trouble if they cull out poorly
developed pullets. It costs too much
money to feed laying rations to pul
lets that will not lay eggs until next
spring. Good two-year-old hens will
make better use of the feed.
Laying houses should be repaired,
cleaned, and provisions made for
ventilation. Diseases spread rapidly
in dirty houses, and colds attack
birds which are subjected to diafts
or overheating. Vaccinations for
fowl pox should be postponed if the
pullets are ready to go in the laying
house as the treatment is likely to
delay production.
Pullets which appear healthy and
vigorous do not need treatment for
internal parasites. Treatments
which kill parasites have at least a
temporary detrimental effect upon
the birds and production will be de
layed. It always is a good practice
to remove ailing birds from the
flock as soon as they are detected.
Getting back to feeds for the lay
ers, tests show good results when
birds are fed mash concentrate and
grains in separate self feeders. The
concentrate may vary from 24 to
32 per cent of protein; less con
centrate is consumed when the
protein content is high. Wheat, corn,
and oats can be used for grain and
they should be separated in the feed
ers.
Advantage Is Found in
Having the Same Breeds
A dairyman just starting with
purebreds may feel that since all
his neighbors have one breed of cat
tle, he should get another breed so
as to have a monopoly in the busi
ness of selling breeding stock. There
is no question about the monopoly,
says the Missouri Farmer, but there
would probably be little business to
monopolize. It is difficult for an iso
lated small breeder to dispose of his
surplus stock to advantage, while
if there are many breeders with the
same breed, buyers are attracted to
the locality because of the better
chance to get the desired animals
from one or more of the several
breeders.
There are other advantages to a
dairyman in having the same breed
as his neighbor, such as the possi
bility of exchanging bulls, and of
owning good purebred bulls co-oper
atively. These advantages are ob
tained by those having grade herds
as well as by those with purebreds.
Then there is also the opportunity
for taking advantage of special
breed sales of surplus stock, and,
lastly, the advantage of bringing the
! community together in other en
, deavors which usually result where
• there is but one breed. It might
be added that these same thoughts
are applicable to other kinds of live
’ stock and poultry.
