BRISBANE THIS WEEK Lightweight Lives Long Eyes, Also, Work Japan Will Oblige The Russian Letdown C.llt>ert K. Chesterton, 'lead nt sixty-two, weighed more than two hundred an<i fifty pounds. As every doctor will surmise, he died of heart disease. Ills weight ex plains the un necessarily early death. A pump breaks down if you overwork It; n sixty-two-year old heart breaks down If you com pel it to supply with h 1 o o d— food, drink, oxy Arthur llrlsunur gpn _ t(>0 many billions of cells. Every cell In the body must have, from a laboring heart, its supply of food and oxygen, pumped every sec ond. The brain, alone, contains thirty thousand million separate cells, ac cording to Doctor Carrel. In his 100 surplus pounds, Chesterton carried scores of billions of useless cells, each making an unnecessary de mand on the heart. Do not let yourself remain fat after forty if you would live to be old. To become thin and stay thin requires some effort of the will, often more disagreeable than dying. At one of the ultra-radical work ers’ meetings In France, the red Hag displayed and the communist "In ternational” hymn sung, there was radical and determined talk. Mon sieur Thores told the meeting the factories of France would soon be long to the workers. If the plan Is sent through some workers would discover that It takes more thun a red Hag and a hymn to run h factory and make 1( pay; If factories did not pny there would I*** no pay rolls. Drains count as well as hands. The eyes carry no load, but they direct the feet and hands. South China thought she wnnted a wur with Japan, and will prob ably have it. Troops from a Jap anese naval squadron land at Amoy, Fukien province, accompanies! by the usual convincing (lock of air planes. War with Japan Is the enslest thing to have, if you really want it. In Canton, South China’s big city, parades and mass meetings were organized to Increase and ex press hatred of Japan. The outpouring recalls Voltaire’s description of a glasH of Kngltsli beer—"froth at the top, dregs at the bottom.” Russian sovietism came quickly, and might go quickly; signs of a breakdown ure seen already. Those that do more and better work get special rewards: engineers, chem ists, scientists occupy tine apart ments compared with those of ordi nary workmen. Tlint is hardly “straight communism.” Now Rus sia will have a constitution and house of parliament, important steps in tl» direction of conserva tism. Tell your little boy nml girl to In clude In their pruyers the following: “And please. Lord, do not send us any more wars." Uncle Sam recently began deliv ering hundreds of millions of bonus bond dollars to 3,518,<XH) veterans of the war—many veterans and a big bonus, for a war In which we were not concerned until foolishness pushed us lu. The French Premier Plum, first Jewish prime minister in French his tory, is a man of unusual ability, combining common sense with the radicalism of Ids Socialist party. Mr. Pirchail writes to the New York Times that there is fear of anti Semitic outbreaks in France; ob servers "see a ground swell of an anti Semitic movement In the vi cious attacks of the right against the new Jewish premier." French anti-Semitism, according to Mr. Pirchail, has survived the Dreyfus case, which should have euded it. Our railroads find it hard to make iu«uey, but at least they are safe railroads. \V. Averell Harrlman presented a gold safety medal from the fund es tablished in memory of his father, K. li. Harrlman, to F. E.

It is Interesting to learn from Mr. Ripley that the first Cunard steam ship did not carry as many passen gers as could be carried by one of the lifeboats on the Queen Mary.

(0 Kin* Feature* Syndics!*, Inc. WNU Service Smart Silks for Spectator Sports By CIIERIE NICHOLAS IK THERE Is one place more than another that daytime fashions show olT In a panorama of surpass ing style Interest, It Is at the races. The influence of the French races und Ascot was very evident at the openings of our own American tracks this season. Although there were no trailing skirts there were the reminiscent cartwheels, the tiny elaborate “doll” hats which smart Farlslennea love so well with flow er, vegetable and bird trimming— millinery fantasies such as are al most amusing In their eccentricities, yet quite worthwhile In that they are adding such zest to the current mode. Milk taffeta frocks and suits were numerous und set the pace fur an Interesting style movement. Mklrts 14 Inches from the ground, any number of short-sleeved dresses und Jackets. Typical of the choices of many well-dressed women was the very short black silk crepe suit with a fitted Jacket that Is worn with an enormous black feather-trimmed cartwheel hat. A huge white kid water lily at the shoulder gave a dramatic touch. Much is being said In fashion circles In regard to water Illy colorings und water Illy bouton nieres and corsages. As to suits of this type the fashion parade includes them in dark silk failles. In faconne silk taffeta, and of course, the gay printed suits are that ihiqultous they are taken for granted. As to tlie newer silk prints there is a marked tendency to select tiny neat patternlngs for daytime wear. Made up In trimly tailored frocks with short sleeves and matching Jackets, you have the costume-ideal for going about town and for the practical hours of general activities. Now that summer is nearing the trend toward cool silk sheers, both plain und print are obvious. To glorify these Intriguing prints one must be accessory-minded to a high degree, which is not at all difficult since the shops are tilled to over flowing with the most fascinating neckwear, gloves, bouquets, belts, footwear and hundbags that genius might devise. Some of the smartest women are endorsing tunics over slim skirt foundations. Sec the tunic model to the left in the picture. Schiaparel li’s new gingham silk taffeta Is the fabric chosen for this tunic. It is worn with a red leather belt over a black silk crepe skirt. Seen at the Belmont race track was the Jacket dress centered In the illustration. It is styled of dotted silk crepe, white on grny (a very Important color Is gray this season). Kittl'd jacket, square shoulders with big sleeves, and a ruffled jabot on •he dress are details that Interpret high swank. The contrast jacket Is a pet proj ect with fashion these days. Note to the right in the illustration the stunning model. Here a black sheer silk dress Is topped by a short swag ger jacket of white silk crash em blazoned with coin dots In jockey colors - maroon and blue. The hat is of white silk crash with extreme eye-shading brim which is inspired by a Jockey's cap. © Western Newapaper Union. CIRCULAR LINES FOR NEXT AUTUMN i _ While most women are concen trating now on the purchase of their summer wardrobes those who are designers of fashionable clothes are concerned about next fall and win ter’s styles. They nre considering the creations shown in recent Paris collections and thinking up Ideas to produce something new in the way of silhouettes for the autumn. The tlrst Inkling of the trend which has leaked out of the work rooms concerns the width of hem lines. Circular lines are said to be so well liked that every one of us will be wearing skirts that whirl around us like ballet costumes be , fore many months have gone. Feminine Allure Feature of Negligees for Summer Negligees good for all year, and especially charming for summer, are made of blush satin, with deep in sets of Ivory Aleucon lace. The body of these negligee* is out on the bias, so that it drapes around the figure attractively. A rolled hem finishes the edge. The sash ends have lace trimming. Another type of negligee lias two bias ruffles for a shawl collar, and three bias sleeve ruffles arranged in tiers, all edged with Vnl lace. Very practical for summer, especially when the fabric is dotted svvlss or washable silk. Barnyard in Print* The barnyard is glorified In sl'k sheer animal prints of white roost ers, birds and bunnies Instead of traditional dots on black. One smart model features a vest and three pleated tiers of a twin print on a red ground. Sport* Garb Color* Gay Hummer sports clothes stress col orful hues and comfort. Molyneux has evolved eveulng pajamas of light green linen topped by a Jacket of the sume fabric lined with multi colored printed crepe. WHITE LINEN SUIT IIjr CIIPSIHH NICHOLAS The llueo suit in natural or pure white Is un Important number on the style program for summer. The accent on suits lias been most pro uounced all spring and now enthu siasm for suits is continuing for summer—suits of linen particularly that are cool and comfortable as temperature rl-es. Tiie classic white suit here pictured is of linen of su perfine grade imported from Moy gashel, Ireland, it is particularly smart for town wear when accom panied with dark accessories such as fashion decrees with white. Note the navy beret, the uavy-striped silk shirt, the navy gloves and nag. These Identical accessories carried out in Dubonnet red are stuuning. A Fox Bracelet Fur bracelets are next. Fox takes the lead and either bands the el bow or encircles the lower arm just above the wrist. ENEMIES OF HENS Some Pests Can Live Years Without Food. Dr Prof. Glenn W Herrick, New Tork State College of Agriculture. WNU Service. The hen that supplies the nation's dally breakfast food does her job well, even though many enemies war against her. At least nine dif ferent species of lice, several spe cies of mites, and at least two spe cies of (leas attack the hen. Some enemies of the hen, like the common poultry mite, are so small that they would run about thirty to an inch. Some live on hits of feath ers and scales of the skin; others are bloodsuckers. Some cannot live for more than a few days away from the hen; yet the fowl tick has been known to live without food for three years at a time. Fowls are often affected with a disease known as scaly leg or scab by leg, caused by a very small mite scarcely visible to the unaided eye. The bird eventually becomes lame. Fowls sometimes develop the habit of pulling out their own feathers, even those from others. Most often this habit Is due to a tiny Itch mite which lives at the base of a feather. In contrast with lice, the common poultry mite Is not a permanent resident on the hen. It might he de scribed as the chicken bedbug, for It attacks the fowls at night and leaves In the morning to hide In cracks and crevices of perches. Dur ing the night the mites swarm over the fowls, gorge themselves with food, Irritate the hens, and cause them to Jose rest and sleep. I’oultrymen have learned to com bat these enemies of the hen through chemical and other means. Double Yard Plan Helps to Check Contamination Ground on which poultry has run for several years may become "Chicken sick,” according to II. H. Alp, poultry extension specialist, University of Illinois. The greatest contamination usually exists In the ground nearest the poultry bouse, particularly when the Hock is large. Now Is a good time to plow up the yards and prepare for an abun dance of green feed for the Hock. A two-yard system is recommended where the Hock is large enough to warrant this additional trouble. Double yarding helps to prevent serious permanent so^l contamina tion and also provides a means of having green feed available over a longer period. Crops commonly used in poultry yards are wheat, rye, oats and rape. Wheat and rye are best used early In the spring. Oats and rape are more suitable for summer cropping. Swiss chard makes an excellent summer crop to he fed to birds confined to houses and yards, according to Alp. Laying birds should not be allowed to eat any large quantity of rape, as It has a tendency to darken the color of the egg yolk. Feeding Skimmilk Liquid skimmilk should prefera bly be fed to the Hock from earthen ware, tin, aluminum or graniteware fountains and dishes. As a rule the milk combines with the zinc in gal vanized ware and forms zinc lac tate. sometimes hud for chicks and ruinous to the container itself. If necessary to use such containers, (111 the galvanized dish with milk and set it away in a warm place for a day or so, then throw away the nvilk and scrub the dish. This re moves most of the undesirable solu ble material and the dish will be safer for use in feeding.—Wiscon sin Agriculturist. Trouble at Water Fountain Because most worms and dis ease germs thrive in moist, warm surroundings, the soil and litter around the water fountain probably holds first place as an Incubator of trouble. And for this reason measures should he taken to pro tect the chicks, and poults, against the hazard. This can be done quite satisfactorily, says the Missouri Farmer, by constructing a wire platform for the fountain which will screen in the wet litter and soil so that chicks cannot have ac cess. Poultry Hints Growing chicks should average one pound in weight at seven weeks and two pounds at twelve weeks. • • • About 25 species of ducks, four species of geese, and one of swan ire common to Minnesota waters. • • • Itocks are not so active and may have difficulty in getting on high perches if they do not have a ladder • . • Keep goslings away from swim ming water until well feathered and when they are to bo killed for early market. • • • Interior fixtures, especially roosts and nests, should be of simple de 1 sign and construction with a mini mum of cracks wherein parasites may hide and dirt accumulate.

For this particular kind of utensil Is important. In fact, it has proved Itself so valuable in maintaining or der in my mental household that you, too, may find it worth investigating. This wastebasket is the imaginary container into which at night I toss the day’s rubbish that has gathered in my mind. It can contain all the litter of doubts, worries, grudges and fears that—unless one is eternally vigilant—can slip into the human mind. Rut there is no necessity for these things to stay festering or cor roding there during the night. And so out they go!
