Building Essentials While we are still on the general subject of poultry house construction let's consider some of the more obvious details which probably most everybody known about But which are pretty important and ought not to be overlooked by anyone. * Roofs must not leak. We might call that the , first commandment. Shingle roofs should have a one-third pitch. While composition or metal roofs can be built almost flat, any kind of a roof will be found to last much longer if it is given a reasonable slant. Floors are important to the health and productiveness of the birds. We are now building all of our new buildings, even the small colony houses, with solid concrete floors. They are easy to clean, very sanitary, rat proof and comparatively inexpensive in any district where gravel and sand can be had close by; Always be sure to keep concrete floors well bedded with straw or sopie kind of litter, especially in Winter, so that they will be dry and not too cold. Wood floors can be made satisftctory if from lVfc to 3 feet above the ground. If closer to the ground they make rat harbors and soon rot out. They should be high enough above the ground tp let dogs pass under and to permit circulation of air to keep them dry. Sometimes even dirt floors will do if the soil is very light, sandy, and dry. Be sure to build the ground up several inches for the floor, above level of the outside ground. It is pretty important to^take out the old dirt once a year a*C& replace it with fresh sand or fine gravel and e^rth from some place where poultry has never been before. Dirt floors harbor rats, are dusty and unhealthy when the birds scratch about a lot, and are expensive in this way, that the litter does not last nearly so long on them as it does on a lumber or concrete floor. If the house is a long one it wants to be divided up by partitions. Main partitions, soiid for 'the lower three feet and wire netting from there up, or solid all the way up, should extend clear across the building every 25 to 40 feet. Secondary partitions should be built out from the back of the house about half way across or at least to the front edge of the dropping boards, and from the dropping boards up to~ tM?rob!f, to prevent drafts from one end oi -the hopse to the other, and also to prevent the birds from overcrowding in one section of the roost. JFastest Movement The fastest thing that any man can do is to wink his eye. The instinctive reaction of winking when a cinder blows into the eye is about One-tenth of a second for most people; In that flash gf time, an automobile speeding 60 miles an hour will move nearly 10 feet. ' A. fast airplane will move more than 25 feet). Thus, the pilot can run into a small bird after he has first seen it before he can wink his eye against the expected shock, writes E. E. Free in Popular Science Monthly. ' Some months ago, a workman fell but of the fifteenth floor of? a building in course of construction. On the thirteenth floor he grabbed a rope hanging from a scaffold and swung himself in on the twelth floor, saving his life. He afterward confessed that he was "as much astonished by his act aa. any one who saw him. j The explanation is that the fall of ?0 or 25 feet before he grabbed the rope occupies about one s?cond and a quarter, which was time enough lor his thinking machinery to issue the orders which made his muscles take hold of the rope at the proper instant. Had he been placed in equal danger while driving an automobile at 60 miles an hour he would have been killed. Teste with a group of typical automobile drivers have shown that the average time needed to see a danger signal, realize its meaning and begin to press the brake lever is a little more than half a seoond. In that time, a car traveling 40 miles an hour would move 30 feet. That distance represents the minimum margin of safety the driver must maintain to avoid accident. May Have Lynched Communists; Greenvill^, June 22.?An inference that Spartanburg county people would have lynched Fred Beal, alleged eastern Communist, and K. O. Byers, Gastonia strike leader, had he been governor was made here touight ty United States Senator Cole L. Blca.se in an address to textile workers in West Greenville. He was imploring the mill workers to beware of Communists. Senator Blease said: "l am almost afraid to say it, but if I had been governor those two Communists from Gastonia who were held in Spartanburg recently might have been lynched, but I wasn't governor so the boys didn't quite know their grounds," Cheers greeted the statement. YOU HAVE A DOUBLE ^ 0 Somewhere There is Some One Who lx>okB Like You i New York.?A half a block away [from the roar of the Grant) Central Terminal, in New York city, a man who ife a "dead ringer" for Thomas A. Edison, wears a porter's badge and pu&has 4 baggage truck. A humble j moujik -was the double of the late, Czar Nicholas of Russia, and. a petty J swindler of Count Leo Tolatoi, the. great novelist. A delicatessen dealer,' a dentist and even a chimneysweep have been mistaken for former Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany. To account for such doubles, Dr* van Bemmelen, a professor at the; University of Gronigen, Holland, has advanced the theory that they are blood relations, though the , family connection is often remote, wrftes Michel Mok in the July Popular^! Science Monthly. In many instances of striking resemblance, Dr. van Bemmelen established a common ancestry, He calculates that going back eight generations, a man has 250 ancestors, and in thirty generations 1,000,000! Hence, there would not bo enough forebears to "go'round" unless many of us have , the same ancestors in common. It probably wouldn't take Professor van Bemmelen long to demonstrate that Sir Henry Whitehead, British textile manufacturer, and King George of England are connected by family ties, Sir Henry resembles the English monarch so closely that, arriving in -New. York some months ago, he had difficulty convincing shipnews . reporters that he wasn't the king incongnito! Another striking instance of resemblance is that of Winston Churchill, the English statesman, who looks so much like the bust of Titus, emperor of the Romans from A* D. 79 to 81, in the British Museum that he might have posed for it. President Wilson enjoyed the luxury of several facial counterparts. A tremendous commotion was caused in New York city in the spring of 1916, when one of them, Deputy Fire Commissioner W. Holden Weeks, of New York, dropped dead in the street, Grief-stricken crowds with bared heads blocked the thoroughfare. So pronounced was the resemblance to President Wilson that police had difficulty in convincing the people of their error! Five lives were lost at Lowell, Mass., this week from sewer gas poisoning. In Neiw York city Wednesday the temperature reached 93 degrees. Eleven deaths from heat prostrations were recorded for the twenty-four hours ending at noon. AVERAGE AMERICAN BOY The I Measure* of Childhood and Happiness of Maturity : The average American boy ha* a pretty good time. What fun, on emerging from school on Friday afternoon, to know thut tomorrow is Saturday! What fun to play guinea, to go on exploring adventure* io neighboring woods, to have picnics and jollifications, to live a life of] active useleusivess! The mere phy-1 aici ! health of boyhood makes one fe< I like a young dog released from j a chain. ' "Mere living" U good. I I remember, says William Lyon Ph elps, in New York Evening Post, ae< ng a picture of an old man addrt>> ng a small boy. "How old are yon "Well, if you go by what mii'i: .ia says, I'm 6. But if you go by the fuu I've had Hm most 100." | 1 difference, however, between j the j .i nsures of childhood and the .happ.t'ess of maturity consists of thiv l'he child wants an adventure, .soon- < .uitement, something different. I ri.member a child asking its parents, Aren't we going some place?" A j .: i,ie. an excursion, a holiday are joy ou* experiences, while "Christmas and the Fourth of July are delirious But a lull-grown man on the job does not long for something different, something unusual. He hopes and prays that things may go on without interruption, that he may have sufficient health and strength to continue as he is. A Surgical Miracle Augusta, Ga., June ?Twenty years of blindness for Miss Lavada Amos, honor student of Augusta schools, had been ended today by a surgii a I operation. Aftei some months of preparation, pHy sicians decided this week to operate in the hope that Miss Amos would be able to see. Their first effort Tuesday was unsuccessful, and another operation was performed yesterday. . When the bandages were removed for a brief period, Miss Amos exclaimed: "I can see!" She was plunged into darkness again immediately in order that the work accomplished might not be undone. She will be gradually accustomed to light. She was first honor student in second year work at the college this June. A motorist on the highways of Lhke county, Indiana, has been fined for slow driving. He was impeding traffic. A basis for settlement of the Mexican religious controversy has bean agreed upon by the Mexican authorities and cabled to the Pope of Rome fdr. his approval. First Hale Brings Good Price New York, June 17.?The first bale of cotton of the 1929 crop, brought here by airplane from Texas, was auctioned off today on the floor of the New York Cotton exchange. It brought $1,211, half of which goes to the Salvation Army at Cor; pus Christi, Texas. The purchasewas William S. Dowdell, representing^ ja cotton syndicate of cotton exchange" jfiniips, and the auctioneer was Gardiner H. Miller, president of the exchange. The sale was witnessed by Miss Fren Helscher, representing the Corpus Christi chamber of commerce, Li euG-Cover nor Herbert H. lx?hman of New York ami FT C. Bowe, pilot of tl)e plane, which brought the bale here in 19 1-2 hours. Flyers Still Missing Madrid, June 25.?'Ships and airplanes of four nations united today in the search for Major Ramon Franco, Spanish ace who with three companions left Cartagena on Friday for the Azores in the first leg of a round trip flight to New York. Spain, Italy, England and Portugal mobilized searching parties to comb the area between the Portuguese I coast and the Azores by sea and air for the missing flyers. i ammmrnmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Death Closes Case El Paso, Texas, June 23.?Death today closed the case of the state versus Jose M. Marin, 04, native of Spain, scheduled to have gone to trial here tomorrow on charges of murdering Prank J. Lyons and H. D. Oppenheimer, El Paso, attorneys. The lawyers were shot to death by Marin in their offices here May 31, after several years of business association which culminated in disagreement^ over Mexican mining deals. Physicians said Marin's death probably resulted from natural causes although a post mortem was to "be held to consider a suicide theory. Erect Safety Signs San Francisco, Cal.?'More than 1,000 Bigns urging safety have been manufactured by the California department of The American Legion and will be displayed on the princi- s pal highways, James K. Fisk,- department adjutant, advises. The annual military training period for National Guardsmen of the states' of South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and North Carolina, will get underway at Camp Jackson next week, beginning July 2. The South Carolina troops will be given intensive training from July 7 to 21.
