FAMOUS EATING
PLACE IS CLOSED
Shanghai Mourns Passing of
“Jimmy’s Kitchen.”
Shanghai.—Shanghai’s midnight sons
and daughters, devotees of the cabaret
and dance halls, are mourning the
passing of the city's most famous
night life institution, “Jimmy’s Kitch
en
There was no pomp or ceremony, no
orchestral din or garish display about
“Jimmy's” It was just a roughly
equipped restaurant in the heart of a
district where Magdalenes of many
nationalities are quartered. . ¢
“Jimmy’s” was owned by one Joseph
James, a young American who served
in the American army and was sta
tioned at Tientsin. Fame came to
“Jimmy’s” - almost overnight.
Three years ago the place was virtu
ally unknown, save to a few soldiers
and sailors. One night a prominent
American, attracted by a sign reading
“American ham and eggs,” dined at
“Jimmy’s,” He was astounded at the
excellence of food and coffee.
Proudly young James informed him
that practically all of his food was im
ported from America. The word spread
quickly. Americans and Britons in
large numbers flocked to the place.
Within a short time it became the
fashionable gathering place of Shang
hai in the small hours of the morning.
The customers made many suggestions
to James, but the latter would not
change his equipment. He stuck to
the rough board tables, the thick mugs
and the thicker glasses. He steadfast
ly refused to supply other than paper
napkins.
" “Jimmy’s” sold no llquor and none
was permitted on the premises. A
‘husky “bouncer” was constantly on
duty to stop fights between seafaring
men who patronized the place.
And night after night it was a com
mon sight tc see sailors in and out
of uniforms, soldiers, marines, mer
chant marine sailors, beachcombers,
dancing girls, clerks, Chinese, and men
and women in evening clothes seated
at the tables in “Jimmy’s.”
The once familiar sign “Jimmy’s
Kitchen,”. is gone now. The owner has
gone into the cabaret business and has
disposed of the famous restaurant.
New “Engine Trouble”
Is Blamed on Stork
Anchorage, Alaska.—Something new
in the way of an *“alibi” to explain
the lateness of a scheduled train
comes from the operating department
of the Kugorok railroad, out of Nome,
In connection with the oflicial re
port, it should be explained that the
Kugorok railway system is the only
one known which relies on dogs for
motive power. -
In this instance a distemper epi

necessitating substitution of a new and
untrained lead dog.
All went well until the half-way
point where trains No, 1 and No. 2
pass at a siding. Here the new lead
slipped his leash and gave chase to
a rabbit, causing a delay of several
hours.
As a climagx, the reserves in the dog
house got into a fight and chewed
each other so badiy that an entire
new complement was necessary.
This was the hard luck story related
to the superintendent by the head
engineer when called to the carpet to
tell why the train was many hours
late.

SPY AND SOLDIER
WEDDED 64 YEARS
Both Over 90, but Still Hale
and Hearty.
Kansas City, Mo.—Sixty-five years
ago a young Confederate courier from
Missouri and a Confederate “petticoat
runner” from Mississippi met near
Memphis. They never parted, and re
cently celebrated the sixty-fourth an
niversary of their marriage here at
their home,
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Victor both are
more than ninety. Their romance be
gan after the Confederate evacuation
of Corinth, Miss. Young Bill Victor,
whose home was at Shelbyville, Mo.,
was detailed to scouting duty with a
detachment having headquarters in
Memphis.
Meet Petticoat Runner.
One afternoon he was scouting on a
Union movement near the Tennessee-
Mississippi line. He met a southern
party, in which was Miss Mary Mitch
ell. The party had been to Memphis
and was returning to the Mitchell
plantation across the line in Missis
sippi. Young Victor saw Mary—and
offered to escort the party to the
plantation.
“I'd never paid any attention to
soldiers until I met Bill,” Mrs. Victor
said, “I'd been busy fighting Yankees.
But I did pay so much attention to
him that we were married within a
year at Memphis.”
Both Mr. and Mrs. Victor are in ex
celient health. They are interested in
politics and the scientific developments
of the day.
“Why, bedtime used to” be about
8:30 o’clock when I was a boy,” he
said. “But since the radio came in I
never go to bed until the last one
signs off.”
Made Good Spies.
Mr. Victor has not been in Shelby-.
ville since he left home at the age of
seventeen to join the Army of the
South. He was under Gen. Sterling
Price when the Confederates besieged
Lexington, Mo., and forced the Union
leader, Colonel Mulligan, to surrender.
His regiment’s first engagement,
however, was in the bed of the Des
Moines river, “somewhere along the
Towa-Missouri line,”
“We were slipping up on a Federal
force, and. as it turned out, the Feder
als were slipping up on us,” he ex
plains. “We met in the dead of the
night in the middle of the river and
both sides went back to their own side
of the river.,”
Mrs. Victor’s services to the Confed
erate cause consisted chiefly of wateh
ing Federal troop movements along the
Tennessee-Mississippi border and giv
ing Confederates suflicient warning to
flee to safety.
_“We petticoat runners,” she said,
“were the best spies because the
Yankees were not afraid of us.”
State Registers Babies
by Numbers and Names
Topeka, Kan.—This state encour
ages parents to know their children
by numbers as well as by names.
It reserves the right, however, to
assign the numbers to new born ba
bies. When the bureau of vital sta
tistics in the state board of health
records a birth certificate, it informs
the child’s parents under what regis.
tration number the document is filed,
and suggests that the figure be re
membered by the family.
This is a new policy inaugurated by
Dr. Earle G. Brown, secretary of the
board. Doctor Brown poinis out that
the registry number may be helpful in
later years If the certificate must be
located immediately in the state ar
chives.
Musician Calls Jazz
a Fountain of Youth
Berlin.—Jack Hylton of London,
known as the “jazz king of Europe,”
has discovered the secret of eternal
youth., Arriving in Berlin with his
jazz orchestra for an extended stay,
he said:
“There is nothing that keeps a fel
low so eternally young as playing in
a jazz band. Jazz Is an expression of
youth, of joy, of bubbling enthusiasm.
Anybody who plays it cannot help but
keep young.
“More than that, our men can for

Cave Man in Second Place

New York.—The cave man myth
has been exploded.
He has only a secondary position
in his own home, a visitor to the home
of the Pueblo Indian cave men in
Santa Clara, N, M, found. And the
spouse rules the home as well as his
worldly goods.
Seeking out the homes of the orig
inal cave men of the United States,
far away from the cities where now
and then a so-called *“cave man"
makes his appearance much to the
awe of a large following, Andrew B§.
Wing visited one of the twenty Pueblo
villages remaining in Arizona and New
Mexico, delved into their family cus
toms and their history. He found them
still loyal to the Catholic faith, main
taining a family life exceptionally free
from friction and rearing children
who are obedient and of the best be
havior.
“The Pueblo woman is the absolute
master of her home,” Wing asserts.
“There is no individual land owner
ship, hut each man is alloted a piece
of land which he can cultivate as long
as he works at it industriously. When
the crops are harvested and stored in
the house they become the property of
the wife. Most PPueblo marriages are
successful and their family life is con
genial. All observers comment on the
obedience and good behavier of the
Pueblo children.” .
In one great communal cliff house
explored by the writer 1,600 rooms

The only thing that disturbs her

FEED FOR WINTER
EGG PRODUCTION
Maturity and Health Make
for Strong Bodied Fowls.
One of the paramount problems at
this time is the matter of feeding for
maximum egg production through the
winter, when egg prices are highest.
Some mighty good hints on this ques
tion are supplied by R. L. Watkins,
extension poultry specialist, Ames, in
his bulletin for record flock keepers.
His suggestions follow :
“Winter eggs are laid by well-ma
tured pullets and healthy old hens
which are comfortably housed and
properly fed. Maturity and health
make for a strong-bodied egg machine.
Pullets, to lay large eggs steadily
throughout the winter, must have
proper body size and weight. Leg
horns or other light breeds may be
considered ready for a regular laying
ration when three to three and one
fourth pounds in weight. Heavier
breeds, such as Reds, Rocks and Wy
andottes should weigh four and one
half to five pounds. Immature pullets
must not be forced into egg produc
tion by feeding them on a regular lay
ing ration.
“Comfort enables the bird to utilize
feed in manufacturing eggs instead of
using the energy thereby obtained to
maintain body warmth, Feeds are
the raw materials out of which hens
build eggs. :
E “A well-balanced egg mash contain-
t-g ground graing or grain by-prod
wicts, protein concentrates in the form
0f meat and milk products; minerals
in the form of bonemeal, salt and
some grit; and oflen green food in the
form of ground alfalfa must be kept
available to hens and pullets’if they
are to lay any number of eggs during
the winter months,
“Whole or cracked grains such as
gorn, oats, wheat and barley should
be used in combination with a mash
to maintain body weight and comfort.
Body weight cannot be maintained
during heavy egg production unless
sufficient grain ' feeds are included in
the ration. In a ration made up of
mash and grain the mash feed con
tains most of the egg building mate
rial while the scratch grain contains
most of the fat and heat-building
material. Good poultry management
requires that the birds consume suffi
‘cient mash to maintain their egg pro
duction, also that they eat sufiicient
grains to maintain body weight, Heng
losing weight soon stop laying”
. e .W‘%-&‘
Cod Liver Oil Is Most
- Easily Given in Feed
The value of cod liver oil for poul
try is summed up by one hen profes
sor as follows: Stronger and health
ier birds, prevention ‘@f'leg weakness
from heavy laying in Jate winter and
spring, better looking egg shells, more
and stronger chicks from the eggs
hatched, and fewer blood spots in
eges,
Cod liver oil is most easily fed,
this professor writes, in semi-solid
buttermilk or cottage cheese, Or, he
says, you can feed it with the scratch
grain—a quart to 100 hens every
week,
For a flock that size, his method is
to mix about a teacupful of the oil
with the scratech grain every other
day. Keep this up until spring takes
the flook outdoors again,
Guard Against Disease
in Feeding Green Bone
.*Bome butcher shops have installed
bone grinders and sell ground green
bone, This is an excellent feed when
fad fresh, but poultry offal wust not
be ground in beeayse of the danger
of transmitting dlse{;a to the flock
This Is especially true of tuberculosis.

Poultry Notes
A fresh supply of water should be
uvailable to the hens at all times,
L e
During extremely cold weather
birds should be given more corn and
gruin than durlng mild weather,
s & &
Birds prefer graln feeds. The
amount of mash consumed Is deter
mined by the amount of graln fed,
L
The mash Is the egg food and the
birds will like 1t and eat it as long

now finished the construction of a 4 new
town which will house some 7,000 per
sons.
The place, which is to be opened for
use in a short time, will have 1,600
flats, a large number of shops and
storehouses, library, theater and cin
ema, kindergarten, public bath, post
office, case, restaurant and park. Its
architecture {s modern town style,
