B ECAUSE he had a problem on his mind that morning Louie didn’t give much attention to the man who got in his cab except to notice that he had an old, tired lace and looked as though he might have money, and when he heard his pas senger say, "Grand Central,” he pulled out from the curb in a hurry and swung down a side street to Fourth avenue. He hadn’t had a decent fare that morning and his time would be up at noon. Grand Central, he knew, would meter about seventy-ftve cents, and if his fare was in the hurry he seemed to be and he got him there on time he might get a quarter extra, making it a dollar. At Twelfth street, seeing some kind of a demonstration ahead of him, Louie tried to go down a side street to avoid be ing held up, but the street was filled with trucks and he had no choice but to fall in line behind the stalled uptown traf fic. His mouth drew down at the comers and his hands tightened on the steering wheel as he read the signs and banners a group of demonstra tors were carrying. "Dam fools,” he said. “Ain’t we got troubles enough right here with out people worryin’ about what goes on in Spain and China and them other foreign countries?” A faint smile played over his pas senger’s grim, sagging face. He had made a large donation to foreign relief himself, he remembered, about three months ago. He could make good use of that money, now. “You don’t believe,” he asked, “in charity?” “Not that kind!” Louie exhibited his strong, troubled profile. “Not when there’s people in this country needing it just as much as they do This Week's.

Louie gave a short laugh. “The last guy I gave my blood to threw me out of his apartment. He was practically dead. If I’d refused to make the transfusion he would have died. They wouldn’t have had time to get anybody else. And yet because I couldn’t pay him g, month and a half’s back rent I owed him he had me thrown out in the street—furni ture, wife and kids—everything.” “That seems. . . unfair.” “Unfair!” Louie’s hand tightened over the steering wheel. “How would you feel if the guy that cracked down on you was walking around the streets with your blood in him? And this guy’s rich! He didn’t need the money. He’d given five thousand bucks to the Red Cross a couple of months before. He’s got more real estate in New York than he knows what to do with.” Louie put his cab in gear. The parade had moved on. Traffic was beginning to thin out ahead. “I’m just praying that some day I’ll meet that guy. There’s some things I’d like to tell him.” “You’d recognize him—this man, if you saw him?” “Only by his picture in the news papers. They had him all covered up when I gave him the transfusion. Only his arm was sticking out.’.’ Louie crossed Fourteenth street and swung into the outside lane to make up for the lost time. “But I’ll meet him some day,” he said. For some time the man behind him gazed directly through the windshield. He seemed to be un aware of the fact that his face was in full view of the rear-vision mir ror. He looked very old, and very tired. “I see what you mean,” he said finally, and Louie could just barely hear him above the noise of traffic. “I suppose we do pay too much at tention to what’s going on in other countries and overlook sometimes what’s going on right under our noses. But we mean all right. It’s easier for us to give to an organiza tion that’s rigged up to help groups of people than it is to look around yourself for people who need help. <( TF YOU were to meet the man L you gave your blood to and didn’t know him you might think him a pretty decent kind of a fellow. A man isn’t generally thoughtless or bad just because he’s rich. Suppose he was caught in a jam himself and needed every dollar he could lay his hands on. Suppose a group of banks were going to foreclose on him and he’d lose everything he had in the world if they did? A fellow like you—young and healthy, why, you could afford to lose a million dollars. You could make it back again if you wanted to; and if you didn’t want to you could do some thing else. “But when a man gets along in life and then loses everything he’s been working for for forty or fifty years it’s apt to be quite as big a shock to him as it was to you to be turned out of your apartment. In fact, some very good men aren’t able to survive such shocks. “For all you know, that man may be dead. You may never see or even hear of him again.” With a strange feeling in his throat, Louie turned his cab into Forty-second street and drew up be fore Grand Central station. The guy seemed to know what he was talking about, he thought. And suppose this man had died—after he’d given him his blood. Died with his blood in his veins. He’d never thought of that before. And he didn’t like it, some how. “I guess you’re right,” he said, his head lowered as he tore the slip from his meter and handed it back. “After all, he didn’t know me from Adam. I guess we all make mis takes.” A strange smile lighted the man’s face. His hand trembled as he drew from his wallet his last hundred dollar bill and pressed it, folded, into Louie’s hand. “It’s never too late,” he said, “to try to rectify those mistakes.” Ten Rules for Happiness You’ve read, you’ve thought, you’ve heard a good deal about hap piness. You’ve seen people seek it, most of them unsuccessfully. You wonder whether there is really any way to guarantee yourself as much happiness as you think everyone has a right to expect Maybe these ten rules from the Cleveland Academy of Medicine will help. A learned committee from this academy studied the matter. What it sought was a formula for happier living. The rules are: Have a hobby. A hobby is a ref uge, a* storm cellar into which you can duck when stress and storms on the surface of your life buffet you about too much. Develop a philosophy of life. That simply means to have a guide by which to live. A life without one is a helter-skelter existence without plan, without goal, without the com fort of ideals or truth. Share your thoughts. Companion ship is essential to personality and to mental health. If anyone lives too long with his own thoughts they can generate explosive qualities that destroy. Confess, confide, consult someone you like. Face your fears and have it out. The world is filled with people run ning away from fears, but never quite escaping them. Face yours. Overcome them boldly. Balance fantasy in your life with fact. Dream, for all normal beings must, but balance your dreams with acts. Don’t fall into the habit of dreaming your life away. Beware of alluring escapes from your troubles but face them realis tically and work out a reasonable answer. Exercise moderately in order that you may have physical as well as mental health. Love wisely, for life without love is life without light. Don’t worry. Trust in time and be patient There you have the ten rules for happiness. They seem almost too simple to be effective. But they are the rules based upon eternal truths of human nature and psychology, and if you will adopt and follow them they will do some interesting things to your own life. ’’We got troubles enough right here,” said Louie.

DRYDEN Chicks will seldom be cannibalis tic if provided with proper brooder and range space, correct tempera ture and air control and a balanced ration, properly fed. They must be kept alert and active. Only the mis treated, sluggish chick will turn to cannibalism. While the chicks must be comfort able, the temperature should be re duced gradually. Use a good starting mash. There is no substitute for the bast for start- Baby chicks must be managed right to prevent cannibalism. ing baby chicks. Give them all they will eat at all times and provide plenty of eating troughs. When the chicks are four to five weeks old they may be given grain, and made to scratch for it. A good range and shelter should be provided. Pasture such as blue- grass, alfalfa or lespedeza will low er the feed cost and make the chick ens take on economical gain. Swiss chard, kale, Chinese cabbage or rape may be planted and the leaves pulled and fed to the chicks. Alfalfa, clover or other grasses may be chopped and fed fresh, or alfalfa leaf meal utilized to aid in proper health and growth. BUILD FERTILITY Careless handling of manure causes serious losses of fertilizer and organic matter needed to help increase crop yields and rebuild soil structure. One hundred tons of manure con tains 25 tons of organic matter, 1,000 pounds of nitrogen, 200 pounds of phosphorus and. 800 pounds of potash, one-half of it in the liquid part Piled outside and exposed to rain and weather for several months, this 100 tons may shrirtk to 50 tons and lose half its fertility and organic matter. Losses may be reduced by us ing enough bedding to soak up all liquid manure, cleaning stalls fre quently and hauling manure directly to fields, or storing carefully.
