the recent incident of Murshul Foch's
tour West In St. Maries, Idaho, where
three French war brldea tearfully
Itogged to go hack to France, Miss
Eleanor Kller, who directs thla work
in the National Bourd of the Yotifig
Women's Christian association and
under whose chii|>eronage neurly 4,000
war brides of all nationalities came to
this country, emphasized that records
show the majority of them displaying
the utnioat fortitude In aduptlng them-
selves to American ways.

It was said that the Amerlcau hus-

bers of their wives' famlliea. Particu-
larly where a sister has comt over to
take up work here, the companlonahip
has proved a great comfort to the
young wivea widely scattered In Iso-
lated communities.
"Itonianccs that started during the
war are stlli resulting In murrlages."
Miss Kller said. "Only last week a
young woman came through here to
join her tlance In California. They had
met and became enguged during the
war, while he was still oversea A
highly accomplished girl, she had a
splendidly paid position with a famous
French house In Purls, and was re-
luctant to leave. Finally her dunce
wrote us to meet her. and she went on
to begin life out In California."

In the formation of the Inter-allied
veterans' association, Hertrand has
made frequent trips to Itnly, England,
Houtnania and other allied countries.
On his first trip to the United Slates
he was the only civilian In the dis-
tinguished company of Marshal Foch,
Admiral Beatty, General Diaz and

American Legion's gold medal for dis-

HOW THE SERVICE MEN STAND
Checking Up at Washington by Legion
Reveals That Many Members
Art in Limelight.
When President Harding replied to
Representative Lamar Jeffers. Ala
bama, and the legislative committee of
the Americnn Legion that there were
no ex service men gf outstanding
quantitations to be members of the
American commission to the Interna-
tional disarmament conference, there
was a checking up In Washington to
determine how service men stand In
the eyes of the American electorate.
A statement later issued by the le-
gion showed that the President ap-
pointed an ex-service man na secretary
of t1 e navy and another assistant sec-
retary. Ills allen property custodian
was In service during the wnr. The
assistant postmaster general Is an ex
service man. An A. E. F. veteran Is
head of the nntlonnl budget. The
President confided the tnsk of organ
l7.1ng the new veterans' bureau to a
former soldier.
The public has elected 20 men who
served either In the army or the nrvy
to the house of representatives and
two to the senate. In nearly a dozen
states service men are the governors
Eight members of Secretary Hoover's
nntlonul committee on unemployment
were ex-service men.
SCHEMES TO COLLECT DUES
Novel Methods Are Being Employed
to Induce Legion Members to
Pay 1922 Assessment.
Novel means employed by Americnn
Legion posts to get In membership
dues early In 1922 are causing com-
ment In every community where a
post Is located, according to reports
to Legion national headquarters In In-
dianapolis.
Around the top of the list Is the
story from South Dakota. A post Is
offering each servlcc men who pnys
his dues before a set dnte a biscuit
baked by the newest bride In the
post women's auxiliary. Three of the
biscuits being distributed contnln
cash prizes In coin—$20, $10 and $.r>
In gold. The biscuits may not be
broken open until the night of the post
banquet when they will serve ns cards
of admission. Karly recipients of bis-
cuits declared they could not Judge
from their weight whether they con-
tained gold pieces or bricks.
Out In Kansns n post gave Its
finance officer enrte blanche In collect-
ing 1P22 dues early. A few mornings
later Legionnaires were being routed
out of bed at 4 a. m. by members of
the committee who refused to let the
slumberer go back to bed until he had
paid up. The various state depart-
ments of the legion nre In a hot con-
test for the honor of being the first
to send In the complete dues of the
membership.
HELPS TO FIND EMPLOYMENT
Arthur Woods, Head of Hoover Spe
cial Committee, Proves Aid to
Ex-Service Men.
Ex-service men throughout the coun-
try have benefited largely from the
operations of Sec-
retary Hoover's
committee on un
employment. Th«
former soldier*
and snllors have
had i special
friend at court In
Arthur Woods,
New V°rk, head
of the Hoover
special committee
which has co-ordl
nated the nation
wide effort to pro
vide Jobs for the Jobless.
As a special assistant secretary of
wcr In 1919, Mr. Woods rendered dls
tlngulshed service In organizing and
directing a national bureau for the es-
tablishment In civil life of service men
In that work h built up an organiza
tlon whose activities encompassed the
nation and proved his ability to get
on with and understand men. Mr.
Woods formerly was police commis-
sioner of New York, and was the first
chairman of the American Legion's na-
tional Americanism commission.
des Femmes do France, one of our nu
tlonallty clubs largely made up of
French brides In Boston. although the
personal greetings were warm and en-
thusiastic," said Miss Kller. "In fact,
a spontaneous 'Ylve rAmerlque' Im-
mediately followed the 'Vive la France'
as he passed by. Small as the Incident
was, nothing could be more typical of
the spirit many of these young women
are displaying In endeavoring to ban-
ish their homesickness and adopt the
new country to which their American
husbands have brought them."
Turn to Y. W. C. A.
Due to their acquaintance with the
Young Women's Christian association
In France, and the warm personal re-
lationships established when they were
officially chaperoned by the association
on the trip across, In many cases. It
was to the Y. W. C. A. that they have
turned for guidance and help, It was
explained.
"French clubs, or French War
Brides' clubs, as they call themselves
In some of our centers In other cities,
which they themselves have organized,
nre not for sociability and compan-
ionship alone," Miss Kller explained.
"To learn English is their Immediate
desire, and our English classes from
the first have been Immensely popu-
lar among them. Classes In Infant
care, Including pre-natal care, have
also been repeatedly asked for and
well attended. In the great majority
of cases which we touch we have found
them anxious to overcome all the hand-
icaps which nre so new and strange to
them In their new homes."
An example given wus that of the
Union des Femmes de France, an or-
ganization of their own attached to
the V. W. C. A. of Boston. This club*
of which Helen Lufberry, sister of
Raoul Lufberry, the ace who was
killed shortly before the armistice,
was the first secretary, gives benefit
concerts and other entertainments for
war orphuns or young women of their
own nationality who are ill or In dis-
tress here. From the outset their
American husbands have been enthus-
iastic In Its support.
Tragic Exceptions.
The tragic exceptions to the major-
ity of cases which have apparently
turned out happily. Miss Kller snld,
only Infrequently come to her notice.

"The hoys need a little cheer now | contracted tuberculosis after the birth
Just as much as they did when they ()f jlt.r baby, sailed back to France.'

Many Years Ago This Section of
London Was Regarded as a Very
Fashionable Dwelling Quarter
—There All Races MeeL
London.—Dingy, funny, little Soho,
known to all tourists and the affluent
half of the American expedition" ry
forces, Is about to pull down Its faded
pink curtains, fold up Its murky lit-
tle shops and silently steal into the
musty pages of history—by request.
London has need of space and, cruel-
ly, London, has no need for funny lit-
tle Soho. In which case that small,
historic prowling spot of tempera-
mental bohentlans, which Is supposed
to have derived Its name from the
duke of Monmouth's famous war cry,
"Soho," at Sedgemoor, Intends to take
Itself apart, brick by brick, until It Is
no more.
Gone will be the window of the
Italian grocer, lately so gay with
swirls of pale green spinach paste,
like line spun spaghetti, the deep pur-
ple of choice violet liquor, tlie shiny
festoons of red peppers and the tiny
almond cakes sprinkled with pink
sugar.
Rich Treasures in Filth.
Not again will one finger and yearn
for the silky rugs from Afghanistan
and Persia, the fat Ivory elephants
from India and the blue and gold Chi-
nese embroideries one finds In the hid-
den dirty corners of Soho.
Many years ago this small section
of London wus regarded us n very
fashionable dwelling quarter, but after
a time trim maids and highly refer-
enced butlers were glimpsed no longer
In Soho's haughty doorways. Bur-
nished name plates and shining brass
knockers began to disappear and then.
Indeed, it seemed thnt severe respecta-
bility had deserted little Soho.

Two Bears Devour
Honey and Bees
Chehalls, Wash.—William Dlu-
hosh. Sr., a farmer of the Al-
phn neighborhood, lost two
stands of good bees and the
honey the latter had stored
when two bears visited his api-
ary. The bears called In the
night and ate a hive of bees as
well as the honey. Their appe-
tites whetted by the sweets,
they returned the following
night and got away with a sec-
ond hive of bees and all their
honey. The third night Charles
Hanson, a neighbor, was wait-
ing for them with a gun. The
bears ambled away in the dark.
Soviet Congress Opens in Bokhara
The Modern Fourth.
Here Is u. page from the diary of •
boy of today:
"Today Is the Fourth of July, once
a glorious patriotic holiday. In the
morning I took a bath and after din-
ner pa told me stories about Abra
ham Lincoln. After supper I had to
stay in while ma read lessons from
the Bible and then we all rose and
sang 'The Star-Spangled Banner.'
Then I went to bed."—American Le
glon Weekly.
Asking Too Much.
MI don't want to eat this egg, It's
not a nice egg," protested the six-year-
old daughter of the house at the
breakfast table.
"Mary," said her mother sternly,
"you ure always complaining of your
food. Eat what is placed before you
—every bite of It—without another
word, or else I'll have to give you a
good spanking."
AH was quiet for some minutes.
Then from tie other end of the table
sounded a mournful voice.
"Mother, dear, do I have to eat the
tieak too?"—An erlcan Legion Weakly
scraping acquaintance and short-cut-
ting through the alleys of sordid neigh-
bors, meandering around In circles and
getting in too late to clean up for din
ner—but nobody cared. Its bright win-
dows got dust and soot In their eyes
nnd grew grimy from the fog, but no
one took the trouble to "wipe them. Its
front doors grew weary of keeping
up appearances and shed hot tears that
blistered the paint and uncovered
scratches and gashes on their neglect-
ed cheeks.
Its back doors sagged sadly on rusty
nnd broken hinges. They creaked pain-
fully In a final, pitiful protest when
they were steadily pushed open to
admit the Armenians, the Portuguese
and the Greeks.
Where All Races Meet.
Today Soho Is a rather badly kept
haunt of bohemla. Turkish, Chinese,
French and Italian cafes beckon on ev-
ery side and are well patronized by
those who grow weary of a too fre-
quent English diet of boiled mutton,
greens of an unfathomable origin and
pasty white sauce.
• Not . >ng I spent an afternoon
in Soho and Tound begging as usual
and business at least on its feet. One
may buy anything from a pennyworth
of stewed eels In vinegar to the last
word In a fall bonnet, from the rick-
ety old barrows that line and crowd
the curb on certain streets.
The restaurants In Soho are very
interesting. The food Is always at-
tractively served and If the quality
Isn't strictly first class the price Is.
One might expect to, but doesn't save
any large number of the elusive shill-
ings. The most popular cafes charge
Piccadilly prices without a blush or
a pui motor.
Papa, all done up In dress clothes
and a-glenmlng—In places<—celluloid
shirt front, takes the order. Mnmma
hollers It down the back stairs to a
mysterious uncle; one daughter bears
It In triumph to your table, and the
other obligingly offers to run out tA
huy your bitter because It Is after
hours—nnd D. 0. R. A. prohibits the
sale of liquor In restaurants at cer-
tain times ench day.
But no longer will tne dingy little
shops call one, nor the restaurants
amuse. Funny little Soho Is going
away.
Purebred Duroc-Jersey Boar.
It may be that the effect of using
crossbred and scrub boars on purebred
sows will be studied.
Ten crossbred sows, of various breed
mixtures, and ten scrub sows of tlie
razor-back kind will be used. Half of
each of those groups will be bred to a
crossbred, and half of the other group
will be bred to a scrub. This same
scheme of breeding will be carried on
from generation to generation. Some
ot the offspring will be fed out and
some of them will be kept for breed-
ing before being fed eut. Shoats from
the different lots will be put In feed
lots together and fed alike, so that
t fair comparison can be made. Some
of these scrubs and crossbreds will be
compared In feeding trials with pure-
breds raised on the department's ex
perlinental fnrm at Beltsvllle, Md.
Some will be put into different experi-
mental lots on various feeds.
Nearly everybody thinks the pure-
bred Is superior to the scrub, but there
Is a disagreement among farmers about
the merits of purebred and crossbred
feeders. The department hopes that
n due time its ex|>erimeiits will give
results that will answer any doubts.

Central Asia. In what Is commonly known as Turkestan. It shows the chair-
man of the congress, Abul Hadlr Muchudln, announcing the opening of the
meeting.
Bear Steals Pig.
Warden, Pa.—A big black bear stole
a 80-pound pig lrom a pen at the home
of Henry Tibbie on German Hill. A
<on, the only person at home, heard
the squeals of the pig and ran out of
the house. The bear fled with the pig
under a foreleg. When the boy yelled
nnd gave chase the hear dropped the
pig and escaped. The pig had '>een
squeezed so hard It died later.
SAFEST RATION FOR STEER
Silage. Together With Cottonseed or
Oil Meal, and Either Clover
or Alfalfa. «
The safest steer ration for a man
who has silage Is to feed 40 or 50
pounds of sila.se per steer daily, to-
gether with ab< ut 3 pounds of cotton-
seed meal or ^11 menl and 2 or 3
pounds of hay, freferably clover or al-
falfa. Cottonseed cake generally con-
tains more proton than oil meal, but
the protein In oil meal Is of higher
quality, and ordinarily we would be
willing to pay $5 <>r $6 a ton more for
oil meal than for i^ttonseed meal. The
question of feetiln* corn to steers de-
pends to a considerable extent on the
future action of the corn and cattle
market. Probably It will be Just as
well to feed four or five pounds of
corn to the average steer dally during
the last month or two of the feeding
period.
BETTER SHEEP IN KENTUCKY
Breeders Improving Their Flocks by
Use of Purebred Rams—Sires

SUNSHINE INSIDE HOGHOUSE
Excellent Plan to Use Wire Gates and

In order to get the most value of

's an excellent plan to use wire gates
and partitions between the pens. This
will allow the sun to get through and
afford better reflection of the sun-
shine. This allows the floors to dry
out and keeps the building more sani-
