Slump in Library Books.
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.

— 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.”

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.
