In her annual report, just out, Miss Harriett C. Long, state libra rian points to the slump In circula tion of llbrry books as a sure sign of returning prosperity. When the depression was at its peak the libra ries were taxed to meet the demands upon their facilities, Miss Long points out. Now that people have “more money for gasoline and the movies” not so many are patronizing the free libraries. This condition, she explains is not peculiar to Ore gon but is nation-wide. ------------------------- The speed record of pronghorn antelopes is said to be nearly 60 miles an hour.

WE D., MAY 27 Merry Makers9 Music New and Old Time Dances CHAIR TRICK USED AS STUTTER CURE Distracting the Attention From Affliction Effective. PAGE THRU FREE! FREE! A $39.00 Suit — MADE TO YOUR MEASURE — Des Moines.—If attention of a stut tering person be diverted from his speech defect, he can be made to talk like any normal person. Seven years of painstaking effort have proved this fact to Dr. E. G. Lockhart, professor of psychology at Drake university, and a specialist In curing stutterers. Let a stuttering person bold a chair over his head or do anything else that will require concentration, the doctor asserted, and he’ll repeat any state ment without hesitation. The essence of the theory is the overcoming of “psychological Inhibition." Lockhart performed an experiment on a confirmed stutterer to demon strate the success of his remedy. A twenty-seven-year-old man, unable to speak normally since he was eight was asked to repeat the sentence, "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their party.” The man required three minutes to stammer through the time-worn sentence. “Now lift this chair over your head," said Lockhart This done, the man was told to repeat the sentence. He repeated It without the slightest hesi tation in a few seconds. After re placing the 40-pound chair on the floor, the man again fell back to stut tering. The subject stuttered simply be cause he thought he would, the psy chologist explained. “The trouble actually Is much more complicated than that.” he added, “but his mental state or belief is the direct cause. By centering his attention on the chair, the man took care not to drop it and at the same time forgot his speech impediment A chair or any other device used in this fashion will remedy at least 90 per cent of cases of stuttering.” Lockhart said his remedy dealt only with cases of mental Inhibition. In cases where stammering is caused by a tumor, hemorrhage or physical harm, the speech centers are affected and cannot be cured by mental means. He said these cases represented only about 10 per cent of the total number of stut tering persons. The Drake professor frowned on the theory that alteration of blood pres sure would help cure stammering. He said persons lying down or bending over would stutter Just as though they were standing on their feet or head. Drive Started to End Study of Odd Fractions Boston. — Fractions Involving fif teenths, nineteenths and other ominous- looking numbers may not confront children of the next generation. Five thousand school children In 30 New England towns and cities are sub jects in an experiment to find If frac tions are as useless as educators are beginning to believe they are. Half of the 5,000 will study fractions in the traditional manner, while the remainder will devote their time to the study of merely halves, fourths, thirds, eighths, twelfths and sixteenths. The experiment Is being conducted by Dr. Guy M. Wilson, professor of education at Boston university's school of education. “The average adult out of school uses little arithmetic,” Doctor Wilson explains. "The schools teach compli cated and difficult arithmetic; the arithmetic outside of school Is simple. So It must follow that the schools are teaching more arithmetic than is needed. "Fractions form only 10 per cent,of adult usage. The fraction one-half alone makes up 60 per cent of all adult fractions. Halves with thirds and fourths make up 90 per cent. Few other fractions are needed, occasional ly eighths, twelfths or sixteenths In special usage. Beyond this, reading knowledge only is needed.” Given Away FREE Every Week ASK US ABOUT IT— Hermiston Dry Cleaners WILLIAM A. CASE, Manager Location Next Door to Post Office______________________ PHONE 71 Poultry FEED DETERMINES EGG YOLK COLOR Poultryman Can Control the Coloring of Yolk, Supplied by the United States Department of Agriculture.--WNU Service. Do you prefer an egg with a light yellow yolk or one that has a deep orange-red color? Deeply colored yolks are used by housewives when they wish to impart a golden color to their cakes. Such yolks are also used In making richly tinted Ice cream. A hen can transfer different shades of yellow to the yolk—depending upon the kind of feed she recelves. Substi tuting white corn for yellow corn and limiting the amount of green feed tends to produce light-yellow yolks. If the poultryman keeps his laying stock confined and uses little or no green feed, he must be careful to supply some other source of vitamin A when he uses white corn which contains al most none of this vitamin. He can do this by mixing a suitable quantity of cod-liver oil with the evening feeding of scratch grain. Yolks with richer shades of yellow may be obtained by Increasing the quantity of yellow corn and green feed. Too much green feed tends to give the yolk a brown or green “off tint” Small quantities of pimento or chill pepper, included In regular rations, give yolks a deep orange-red color. With the Poultrymen A variation in feeding hens Is ex cellent, for variety keeps a hen's ap petite from lagging. Cannibalistic tendencies tn chick ens are curbed by a beak guard. It swings clear when the head is low ered to feed. Green or red bulbs are used to some extent for lighting brooder rooms and for brooders, and tend to prevent can- niballsm. Friers and broilers, encouraged by light to eat and drink more. Increase more rapidly In size. Stiffness in poultry is generally caused by exposure to Inclement weather, causing rheumatism. j Other things being equal, preference should be given to the older birds In selecting a breeding pen. The closer the inbreeding, the more the care needed In selecting for breed ers the best of the flock. Tests Demonstrate That Pullorum Is Transmissible Proof that pullorum disease Is transmissible from infected hens to normal hens or pullets has been ob tained in an experiment conducted by the United States Department of Ag riculture. Pullets free from pullorum disease were allowed to mingle for sev en months with hens Infected with the disease, as shown by reaction to the agglutination test. The two groups were then separated and mated to nonreactor cockerels. During the following two months the hens were trapnested and their eggs saved for hatching. Bacteriological ex aminations of the dead embryos, the baby chicks which died within two weeks after hatching, and the hens showed that half of the exposed hens acquired the disease from those al ready infected. Similar tests con firmed the presence of the disease in the reactor group. “This evidence," says Dr. Hubert Bunyea, of the bureau of animal in dustry, who had charge of the ex periment. “shows that under ordinary flock conditions pullorum disease Is transmissible from reactor to normal hens without regard to the Influence of the male birds. This possibility has received comparatively little emphasis by poultrymen and experimental evi dence on the subject has been limited.” The result of the experiment shows the importance of removing from the flock ail hens that react to the test. It also shows the danger in Introduc ing new birds Into the flock without knowing they are free of the disease. he Example: ROUND TRIP to CHICAGO In Coach $51.20 $61.45 ★Std.
