To Miss Easily What to call married women who continue using their maiden name? has become, several men agree, nothing short of a problem. When are they "Mrs.?" When are they "Miss?" Why, after months or years of domestic bliHH doeB "Miss Smith" stiddenly, for a brief moment, decide to call herself by the name of the man alie married? Miss Dorothy Thompson, the writer, brought the whole baffling question into the spotlight recently when she attended one of Mrs. Koosevelt'a luncheons under her married name of Mrs. Sinclair Lewis. Fannie Hurst, the novelist, is a fairly frequent visitor at the White House, ami aim never goes as Mrs. Jacques Danielson, although she has been married to Mr. Danielson for more years than MIbh Thompson has been married to Mr. Lewis. Nor does Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins call herself "Mtb. Paul Wilson"?which she 1b?at Mrs. Roosevelt's luncheons or elsewhere In Washington. The woods ure full of matrons, young and old who are attending luncheons, writing, painting, acting, singing, lecturing and swimming under the names they were born with? Katharine Carnell (Mrs. Guthrie McClintic); Ishbel Ross (Mrs. Tlr\r6o Rao); Lynn Fontaine (Mrs. Alfred LuiU);- and Joan Bennett (Mrs. Gene ^ Markey) are just a few of them. j A few husbands of women In this' vast and growing category wore sounded out on the question. Their response was, In efTect, " We don't mind?-much." They do, it was explained, feel faintly cheated out of the right of endowing the chosen lady with their own proud name and having her use it. But their pain and anguish ure mitigated somewhat by the fact that the ambitious little woman who still calls herself "Miss" is usually bringing home a pay check. The girls, they thought, aren't dyedin-the-wool Buoy Stoners. They just find it more convenient to continue work under the name they built up in their field. Marine Recruits Wanled During March the U. S. Marine CorpH Recruiting; District Headquarters, Post Office Building, Savannah, Ga., will accept twenty-eight applicants of superior physical and educational qualifications, Blngle, between 18 and 25 years of age and not less than live feet and six inches in height, it was announced by Major Ralph p. Dvals, the Officer in Charge. There are also vacancies for musicians who are qualified to play either trumpet or drum, it was announced. The Savannah office considers applicants form Virginia, North and South Carolina, Southeast Georgia and Florida, and is the only office where applicants in these states are examined. Full information and application blanks will be furnished upon request to young men desiring service ' In the Marine Corps. Major Davis stated. Political forces behind Senator Borah and working for his nomination for the presidency on the Republican ticket, favor Frank E. Gannett, publisher of 19 daily newspapers, as his running mate.

BL Stokes, a Hamburg county farmer, according to a. report of County Agent W. H- Craven, who as a profitable enterprise In diversified farming. ? ??? A complete record kept by Mr. Stokes shows that he began his feeding venture September 9 and sold his hogs January 6, feeding meanwhile 737 bushels of corn, 76 bushels of sweet potatoes, 6,400 bounds of pig meal, 3,100 pounds of fish meal, 600 pounds of cottonseed meal, and 66 bushels of oats. Total cost of these feeds was $644.86. ' "At the end of the demonstration the 74 head of hogs weighed out 15,305 pounds, or a total gain of 12,038 l pounds?this gain expressed per hog amounts to a dally gain of 1.37 : pounds, the total cost per pound gain being $.0535," says Mr. Craven. "After deducting all feed cost other than the 737 bushels of com fed to the hogs, there is a return per bushel of com fed of $1.23. With the present price of corn this 737 bushels sold In excess of three times the present value of corn. Mr. Stokes' record further shows he will receive a net profit on the feeding demonstration of $601.88. this amount being calculated from the total sales, of the hogs less all the expenses, including feeding, inocylation, loading, freight and commission. "This particular demonstration was conducted during the time when there was very little work which could be done on the farm. In addition to the $601.88 profit on the demonstration there is profit in the manure, which will be of considerable value to the crop planted on the ground upon which this demonstration was conducted." Hogs Provide Good Market For Corn Florence, Feb. 29.?Sixteen hog feeding demonstrations conducted in 1935 by extension livestock specialists and county farm agents in Bamberg, Berkeley, Charleston, Dillon, Dorchester, Florence, Jasper, Lee and Williamsburg showed again the economy and profit to farmers in feeding com to hogs in a balanced ration, according to figures reported by A. L. Dullant, Extension livestock specialist. These 16 demonstrations included528 hogs which consumed 3,441 bushels of corn and 23,458 pounds of supplement used to balance the corn ration. "These farmers, by weighing the hogs at the beginning and the close of the feeding period and by keeping a complete record of the feed consumed during the feeding period, have been able to determine accurately the cost of producing pork," says Mr. DuRant. "The average gain was 1.55 pounds per day and it required 6.3 bushels of corn and 36 pounds of protein supplement to produce 100 pounds of gain. This protein-rich feed consisted of fish meal or a mixture of equal parts of fish meal and cottonseed meal. " 1 he hogs sold for an average of $9.94 per\l00 pounds. At this price the return for the corn after deducting the cost of the fish meal was $1.45 per bushel. In other words these farmers have found that they can sell their corn through hogs for $1.45 per bushel instead of selling it on the local corn market for 50 to 60 cents. "Three of the 16 farmers secured a return of over $2.00 per bushel for corn consumed, the highest return being $2.74 per bushel. "With the present good prices for hogs interest in growing out hogs for market Is again increasing among farmers," Mr. DuRant concludes. How "Red Shirts" Term Originated Columbia. Mch. 2.?The "Red Shirts." a term applied to the men who followed Wade Hampton in tho campaign of 1876, came not from reference to the "Red Shirts" who with Daribaldi freed Italy from the Austrian yoke, but from the tact thai the Yed . shirt was the adopted emblem of the party, according to Dr. Tucker Bonn, professor of history at the I'niversity of South Carolina. The first of these grim symbols appeared August 25, 1S76, in Charleston, and the idea was promptly seized upon. It -was derived from Senator Morton's speeches in which ho dramatically held up a crimson shirt said to' have been from thg?body of a mjgre " killed or cruelly whipped in Louisa iana. "Waving the bloody shirt" became political slang for trying to urous.6 sectional prejudice. The state senate of Virginia In a Joint resolution with the house, is memorialising congress to provids j ways and means for the migration of j negroes from that stats to Liberia for colonisation. Spare The Heat And Save The Meat Cook meat at moderate temperature, ?uy? the Bureau of Home Economics. Meat. Is a protein and, like white of egg, la toughened and hardened by long heutluK at high temperatures. j noli, roast, or fry tender, well-fattened cut* from young animals, In an uncovered dish without wuter. Ural*#, simmer, or stew less tender, tanner enta with a.. IMVUV, witiior without water All (juts Of poi*, Iamb, and veal are tender Fork and lamb are fat enough for roasting and broiling' Veal usually is fat enough only^for braising? generally with a little liquid added*;, The less connective tissue there Is in beef?the more tender it Is. Tougher cuts are made tender If cooked as pot roasts, "smothered" or praised steak, or stew, or if ground or chopped and cooked as tender meat In. haraburg steak or meat loaf. Fat usually Is added. To pan-broil .tender steak or chops, brown both sides in a lightly greased sizzling hot skillet, lower the heat and cook slowly, turning the meat to inkure even cooking. Pour off ac-; cumulated fat or the meat will fry. Never cover or add water in pan-broiling. f How many minutes per pdund a roast takes depends mostly on oven temperuture and whether the meat is i to be rare, medium, or well done. A j standard beef roast, seared for 20 minutes In a hot oven (About 500 degrees F.) and finished (ji a moderate oven (about 300 degrees F.) usually is rare lniP-16 to 18 minutes to the pound,- medium in 22 to 24 minutes, and well done in 30 minutes. Rolled roasts take from 10 to 15 minutes more per pound than standing roasts. The only sure guide, however, Is a roast-meat theremometer Inserted into the thickest part of the meat. Beef Is rare at about 140 degrees, medium at about 160 degrees, and well done at about 180 degrees. Court No Place For Prayer When a damage suit was called in a Wichita court in which C. E. Flag, claimed $1,491.98 overtime wages from the local street car company, he took time to say an audible prayer before he took the witness stand. Included in Flag's prayer was the statement j that he had been unfairly dealt with., He closed with the words, "Help these jurors to see the light in justfeu to me." The Judge promptly declared a mistrial and the case must be heard all over again. Showing that judge has faith In prayer, at least so far a* the jurors hearing it, is concerned. Following' the assassination of government officials in Tokyo, the emperor signed an order placing the city under martial' law to guard against serious outbreaks. HEN OF GOLDEN EGG FAME The hen that laid the golden eggs has a. rivt&l a miraculous creature that laid 324 eggs a year for two consecutive^ ye^rs. A northern farmer raised her?and with egg prices up and the prizes she has won, her value ought to match the fabled hen, and no mistake! Southern farmers are tpld about this amazing bird who lays three times the national egg average per hen, iu a new Chilean Nitrate advertisement appearing currently in this newspaper, under the caption Queen of All the Hens. An interesting comparison is drawn between the egglaying accomplishments of the hen arrd the crop-producing abilities Of the fertilizer. In both cases, it is pointed out, Mother Nature bestowed a special blessing, a natural balance of all the elements that combine to produce champions. 7. - . Scientists through the south are dig- j ging deeply into this question of natural balance of many elements in relation to plant feeding and plant health. It is becoming more and more obvious,' researchers point out, that cotton, tobacco and other southern crops require, in addition to the three major elements, nitrogen, phosphorous and potash, a natural balance of minor elements as well?elements such as calcium, magnesium, manfeanese, boron and many others. These minor elements?present, of course, in Chilean Nitrate because of the natural origin of this fertilizer?have assumed such importance in view of recent discoveries, that they are constantly being referred to as "the vital impurities." I v ( H" Police of Greenville, N. C., are: searching for a negro who allegedly. murdered Alexander Warren, 18, and 1 assaulted his girl companion, 18, on | a country road near there . Friday night. The girl says that Warren was turning his car around in the road, when the unknown negro jerked the car door open and shot thep-boy, and then dragged her about 100 yards fn-lo the woods and assaulted her. Defense attorneys fighting desperately to save the life of Bruno Hauptmann in New Jersey, declare that he was convicted on "framed" evidence. las Had Share Of Misfortunes Kdenton, Feb. 24,- -About a quarti^l century ago a mule kicked John rison Sprulll, now 87, breaking a larbone and (our r}bs.
