THE STAIRCASE MYSTERY H in farm production have more than doubled in price since 1939. Prices of grain nnd field cr >ps have de clined steadily since curly 1918, The compiittee declared that "greater crop producing efficiency is the answer to lower farm prices nnd higher production costs." Crop production enn be increased by "put back” soil management methods and "holding" operations.

JUVENILE COMMISSIONS Not long ago we read with interest a report on what ___ some of the states are doing to combat and correct juvenile delinquency. Or perhaps a milder statement would be to assist some children to grow up. At least five states in the I nited States have what is termed a board of juvenile commissioners—a board composed of three to five people who make a study of individual cases where the youth mav have gone wayward and make recommendations as to the best methods of corrections. Broken homes, lack of love and drinking parents appear to be the prime cause for youth to become confused or lost Dear Santa: so far as the pattern of society is concerned.

Many who have made a study of a plan of this sort say all the time. it is actually cheaper than the old methods. WHERE SHALL WE SHIP THE REMAINS? Sometimes a touch of humor will bring home a serious truth. That is true of a hotel sign in Salisbury. Maryland, which says, “If you must smoke in bed while'here, please notify the office so we will know where to ship your remains. Business is good here, but we do not have guests to burn.” Commenting on this, the Dillon, South Carolina, Herald, observes. “When a guest is tempted to light a cigarette in bed he should think of the Atlanta Hotel holocaust two years ago when more than a hundred guests burned to death.” It is an ironical fact that smoking in bed is a major cause of death by fire—to say nothing of the great property Oss that also results from it—and that it is also one of the least excusable and unintelligent things we can do. The smok er dozes off, the lighted cigarette drops onto flammable sheets and blankets—and the next step is the morgue. Many of the most destructive fires stem from such simple causes. A minimum of thought will prevent them, and a minimum of care will banish the danger. The main goal of fire prevention lies in public education—for it is the human factor that keeps our fire waste at such terrible levels beads Wage Board The End Draws Near Letters to the Editor Cyrus S.

It was Art’s brainchild to use the recorder, in "running traps" — checking up on the hens to find out which ones arc laying and which ones are "lying." It’» done this way: Four days a week tljc trap is set. When the hen crawls in a nest a trap door closes behind her. She can’t get out until one of the partner» lets her out. Each hen then is given a number which is on a metal tab placed around her leg. When anyone "runs the traps", he wears a small micro phone, presses the small mike but ton and states the number of the bird’s tag, and then gives the num- ber of eggs laid and any other pertinent information about the bir((. ’ Many Conditions Affect Poultry Flock Breeding Connie Made 1. The odds are 1.000 to 1 that a mother will survive childbirth -ind 1,000 to 31 that her baby will be born alive. In 1936, death» during childbirth were almost six times as frequent as they are today and infant mor tality «was almost double One important reason for the im- iprovement is that only 40 per Icent of babies were born in hos pitals in 1936, whereas 85 per [cent are born in them today. 4' FAMED WARSHIP RETURNS TO DUTY Advance Birthday GOOD HEALTH— AAAERICAN GIVEN NOBEL PEACE PRIZE Wire Recorder Check U’hen a pure bred white h gh climbs into a nest on the Heisdorf and Nelion breeding farm at Kirk land.

There are several conditions which can affect the fertility of a breeding poultry flock. Experts say it is a good plan to wait for a week or 10 days after males have been put with the flock before starting to save eggs that arc to be used for hatching. Weather conditions, vigor of males, size of flock, condition of layers, and number of males arc some of the important factors. WHEN THE 12 REPRESENTATIVES of Red China reach U N. headquarters at Lake Success, N. Y., they will be asked what they intend to do about Chinese intervention in the Korean war.

Lhasa, Tibetan capital, has reportedly been taken by the Reds and India worries over events in Nepal. Arrows indicate all trouble spots.
