Copeland Thinks Senate Death Chamber
Royal S. Copeland, junior senator
from New York. Is the only physician
In the senate, if one’s memory serves.
He Is not only a doctor but a profes-
sor of medicine, health officer and
writer on health and sanitation. And
he has an Idea that the senate Is a
death chamber because It has no win-
dows. The senate has passed a resolu-
tion embodying his ideas for improve-
ment in the ventilation. The next step
will be the drafting of plans by the
capitol architect. And then the sen-
ate “can get in touch with the outside
world,’’ if it so desires.
There are recorded more than 20
deaths in the ranks of United States
/senators and former senators within
the brief span of seven years. Here
is what Senator Copeland says about
the situation:
“The only air that reaches the sen-
ate chamber is pumped through piped
inlets. The only sunshine comes
through the heavy ornamental glass-paneled roof. It is common knowledge
that fresh air and direct sunlight are requisites of health. I do not doubt that
many of the senators whose names make so long a mortality list would have
had not months but years added to their lives had they been able to work
under more healthful conditions. I do not doubt that the existing system of
ventilation and absence of direct sunlight constitute an Immediate menace to
the health of every member of the senate today.”

Duke University Now Instead of Trinity
William P. Few, A. M„ I’h. D.,
LL. D. (portrait herewith), is pres-
ident of Trinity college, Durham, N.
C. It was established In 1838 and
has 46 instructors and 1,232 students.
Its present endowment is about $3,-
000,000 and the value of its plant
about the same. Mr. Duke offers a
further endowment of $6,000,000 and
a yearly income of 32 per cent of
the interest on $40,000,000.
Doctor Few, who has been presi-
dent since 1910, says Trinity will
change Its name to Duke university,
in order to participate In the trust
fund. Well, Trinity—or Duke—need
not feet lonesome. There are many
colleges in the United States bearing
the name of benefactors and not a few
which have changed the name on that
account.
Harvard university was named
for John Harvard, who left it half
his estate, amounting to 779 pounds,
17 shillings and 2 pence and his library of 320 volumes.
Colby university. Watervllle, Maine, was formerly known as Watervllle
college; name changed by trustees in recognition of $30,000 subscription by
Gardner Colby of Boston.
Brown university. Providence, R. I., was originally named Rhode Island
college, but changed its name 40 years later because of large bequest of Nich-
olas Brown, a wealthy merchant.

DAIRY
FACTS
DAIRY HEIFER FEED
IS VERY IMPORTANT
DIT
One of the things that I firmly be-
lieve to be good dairy advice, and also
one that shoud be constantly told, is
the necessity of regularity and kind-
ness in tlie treatment of dairy cows,
says a writer in the Indiana Farmer’s
Guide. It is a plain duty that no
dairyman can well afford to overlook.
The dairy cow, strictly speaking. Is a
creature subject to habit, in that re-
spect the same as a human being and
any sudden change In methods, etc., or
In the various ways that she is han-
dled, is sure to have Its effect. If the
change be a good one, the dairy cow
will respond, especially if that change
be in the way of kindness and an oc-
casional change In feeding rations. If
the change he otherwise. It surely will
leave Us effect and un undesirable re-
sult. Dairy cows are creatures of
mood and also temperament and bad
treatment will result In a fulling off
on the production end.
Another thing of much Importance
Is the fact that Irregularities In the
feeding and milking periods reduce
not only the quantity but, by nctnal
tests, the quality of the milk produced.
That’s worth considering. If u change
must be made In the milking period. It
should be done gradually, likewise In
the feeding period If It must be
changed at all.
I believe when dairymen, farmers,
and everyone who lius to do with co\ys,
begin to appreciate fully the wisdom
of treating them with the utmost con-
sideration, then and not until then,
will the average butterfat production
be on the Increase. Then 250 pounds
per cow yearly will be a common
thing and rightly so.

Dutch architecture has hud consid-
erable effect on An erican homes.
Atqerican architects have taken Dutcli
designs and modified them so that
they conform to our ideas of what a
home should be. At the same time
the exteriors follow the graceful but
simple lines of their Dutch originals.
The combination makes some very at-
tractive and comfortable homes.
A home that Is suitable for both
town and country that follows the
Dutch architectural lines Is shown In
the illustration. It Is h two-gable
house, with a steep roof pitch. How-
ever, at the front the roof lines are
extended In a graceful sweep out over
the porch, and a wide dormer set into
It. This provides for two sleeping
rooms upstairs and makes the home
more attractive in appearance. An-
other touch of the Old world Is given
by the outside chimney with its square
top, and by the plastered exterior
Underwood Muscle Shoals Storm Center
for light and ventilation. At the hack
of the dining room is the kitchen,
while at the hack of the living room Is
u bedroom, 10 by 12 feet. How con-
veniently all of these rooms are con-
nected is shown by the plan.
Upstairs there are four bedrooms,
one at each corner of the house, a
bathroom at the back and a small
dressing, or sewing, room at the front.
Bach of the rooms Is open on two
sides, giving good ventilation. Clos-
ets are numerous, there being one for
each bedroom besides another down-
stairs.
The size of the house is 34 feet 6
inches, by 29 feet 6 Inches. It may
be of frame construction with wood
or metal lath or any of the stucco
bases on the outside walls to take
the plaster, or of tile, brick or concrete
construction. A basement under the
whole house provides for the heating
plant, etc.
It Is this transformation of Old
World design to American home sites
that Is making American homes more
distinctive und desirable.
Mistake to Depend Upon
Weather to Cool Cream
When cold weather comes on mnny
farmers give up their cream cooling
tanks and depend upon the tempera-
ture of the air to cool the creum.
This Is u mistuke. The cream cooling
tunk where the cream can be cooled
In cold wuter should be used the year
round.
If there Is not room for a cream
cooling tank within the building, where
It can be kept from freezing, some
other arrangement should he made for
cooling the cream In cold water Im-
mediately after It Is separated. Where
It is cooled down to a temperature of
50 or below, it can he mixed in with
the other cream and kept in a cool
room, tightly covered.
Cream cans should always be kept
tightly covered except during process
of cooling.
Where fresh cream Is added to the
cnn It should always be stirred. A
long stirring rod should be In use on
every farm, so that the cream can be
stirred from the bottom to the top of
the can. The creameries should see
that all their patrons ure supplied
with these stirring rods.
“Alabama casts Its 12 electoral
votes for Oscar W. Underwood!”
Yes; this la the same Oscar W. Under-
wood (portrait herewith). He is
United States senator from Alabama
and one of th*-, leading members of
the senate on the Democratic aide. As
soon as the senate took up the Muscle
Shoals tangle Senator Underwood be-
came a sort of storm center, largely
because of his bill, which contains a
clause providing for government op-
eration as an alternative In case no
lessee is found fof the plant on terms
satisfactory to Uncle Sam. Moreover.
Senator Underwood forced the investi-
gation by the senate cf editorials
charging that he was planning to turn
the plant over to the Alabama Power
company and that he had some connec-
tion with the company.
The verbal fireworks of debate
were dazzling and smelly. Senator
Norris (Rep.. Neb ) charged that the
Underwood meaanre would make "Teapot Dome look Uke a pinhead, an .
"IMieny and Sinclair like piker*.” He accused the President of over-riding the
will of the senate agricultural committee which reported the Norris govern-
ment ownership bill.
Senator Underwood declared Muscle Shoals legislation should not he re
' garded as a political measure. He declared the President was observing cue
tom when he made known his attitude In hia message to congress and accused
Senator N<>rria of populist principles In advocating government instead o!
private operation.

Window Shades No
Longer Fade, Crack
It is the delight of science, to uproot
venerable ideas, change old standards
und put into the dlscurd many articles
that have been used contentedly for
generations. In its great forward
march science has stopped a moment
to effect a ruthless Improvement In
the fabric from which window shades
are mude.
It Is remarkable how long people
have been satisfied, or at leust recon-
ciled, to use window shades that have
been Inherently unsuited for the serv-
ice they were Intended to render. For
generations It has been taken for
granted that a window shade—usually
the most exposed Item In the house—
was something to be carefully guarded
against wear and weather, rather than
something that should resist their ef-
fects.
When shades became ruined by rain
the carelessness of leaving the win-
dows open was condemned and not the
fabric from which the shades were
made. When shades became faded
hy sunlight, this was l»emoaned as a
natural, inevitable thing like sunlight
itself; when they become soiled the
thought was not of their renovation,
but of their replacement.
This situation, however, has
corrected. A new standard for win-
dow shade efficiency and economy has
been set. The historic deficiencies
of the ordinary shade doth have been
eliminated by the simple expedient
iff scientific research applied to the
problem* of developing a fabric.
Breeding Diseases Are
Often Caused by Feeds
Breeding diseases arc often caused
by feeds not containing enough min-
erals due to dryness of season. Cows
and other animals breed much more
regularly when on pasture than when
on dry feed. The steamed bonemeal.
or bone flour, for feeding purposes Is
purer than the fertilizer bonemeal. It
Is desirable to have the bonemeal as
fine as It can he secured. This is
steamed by the manufacturer In large
steel drums for several hours. Any
feed dealer can get this for you. Mix
equal parts of steamed bonemeal. air-
slaked lime, and salt. Give one fourth
pound to each cow per day In the feed.
Do not allow any other salt.

Self-Feeders for Calves
Self-feeders for calves have not
proved practical nor economical in ex-
periments at South Dakota State col-
lege. Too much high-priced protein
feed was eaten and the calves were in
too high a condition of flesh for eco-
nomical growth. The calves also
showed poor barrel development, indi-
cating that very little roughage was
eaten.
