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

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

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'
