V;-vAs Is usual at this time of year, there have been a number of letters ' from, young people eager to come to New York to begin their careers. As tile majority have heen from younpr . Women, this time I'll let Mrs. Helen B. Monasmith, chairman of the room registry WMiulttee1 ot the welfare cdqwil answer them. Her reply may t- summed up ih a few tines: "Don't Come to New Fork if you are unemployed--- you will be better off at home." ' -# • • - It costs a girl less to lire in New jj^rk now than tn former years, but It is har.der than ever for her to And i,-' :-." Work, Mrs. Moiiasinith continued. A .}v;v'r-v^rl must earn from $18 to $20 a week \ - 'to live in any diegree of cooifort,: Her . . . -room, in a private home, is. from $4 •, . . to $"» a week ; food, at least $? a • wefek j- <V „ .clothing, on/a hiusis of $100 a yeai*. i 'f/ 12.50; warfare, telephone,? incidentals^ •...;••• $1-25:.

' Many college "graduates, JlVst Monn i Smith said, have been forced to accept positions for maintenance instead of compensation and even that type of • apprenticeship is extremely difficult to obtain. Some college graduates have , accepted positions as governesses only „ to find them ordinary domestic jobs ^ with treatment common to that type of Work. Then .there is the "opportunity home," that is, room and board in ex- Change for some service in the household. Social agencies report thatmany housewives take advantage of girls, asking for work equivalent to a full-time with no compensation, in many Instances, standards of living are low--a cot in the parlor or hallway and washing facilities In the kitchen sink. Housewives have been known to keep a girl Just long enough „to get the house well cleaned, then tell her she is "unsatisfactory"--a racket in which the girl has no redress. • • • In conclusion, Mrs. Monasmith safd- "Unless you have friends or relatives here, an assured job, or money enough to last a year, don't come to New York city," And as she spoke she had in mind, registered nurses, women with all kinds of academic degrees and girls with valuable business experience . waiting in line only to hear, "Sorry. :there are no openings." "'•V"v;jKliartotiiii, the giant elepUtiit that nsed to make tilings interesting In the Bronx zoo and who acquired an International reputation for being the largest of his kind in capitivity. died more than a year ago. For many months, his hide soaked in a tanning preparation at the American Museum of Natural History, 16 men being engaged -In the task or curing it. Recently, it was taken from the big vat and is now receiving finishing touches. The curing was a big job. as the skin weighs 1,345 pounds, Khartoum's weight having been 10,300 pounds. • • • A hHge shipment of beer barrels ar rived recently from Germany. New Jersey brewers were glad since beer containers are exceedingly scarce. But when the barrels were unloaded on a Hoboken pier, it was found that they were green. So they had to be trucked away to warehouses to season and the brewers are wild. • • • Evelyn Fort told me about a man who spends 24 -hours a day on the Boston Post road. He pulls over to the side of the road and sleeps when he ^ets too tired to keep on going. His business is to spot disabled automobiles, get out and fix them. He car rtes tools and even spare parts and earns a good living-changing tires and -•-i making roadside repairs. ' Q. 1»JJ, Bell Syndicate.--WNU Service.

By , IVAN UcKELLIP. Agricultural KxttnjMOtt Service, Ohio 4St&t« University. - WNU Service. Feeding grain^to medium and highproducing cows on jiastur^ will help Increase milk yields. In supplementing pasture with grain it, should be remembered that the percentage of pro tein in the grain ration need not he the >same.'- as for " winter feeding. ,.(3ood pasture is art approxiniijtelj; iKvttincetl rut ion. ' i The follow-ihg mlxtyfe, I Relieve, may be us4d for -supplementing pasture : For bluegrass, timothy ~ 6r the ordinary run of Ohio p:\stiir^s, it is a good idea tp feed/fopr parts four parts ground rtdtfer ftri<i one psift cottonseed iireal . by 'weight:" Fof ' pJb-, pasture a good 'suppleiiieht Wghj be ma.de> by. nifxing equal jmrts bj> weight of ground .crt^n; ground oats, and brain. ; : 7". • i Pastures are^o dependent.^ipon rain-' .fall that they are almost certain to require some kind of sui>pTementing pasture -crop during dry. periods,. Special crops may be grown for such pas: ture shortages, but compared With the standard farm crops they usually involve added expense and added inconvenience. . Alfalfa, soybeans, sweet clover, sudan grass, oats and peas, or second-growth clover are excellent emergency pasture crops. Silage is another very desirable succulent feed to supplant pasture. Research Has Put End ; to Dreaded Milk Fever Milk fever is no longer a disease that need cause the dairyman serious loss, even though his cows may be among the highest producers In the land. After three years of research the Missouri experiment station has discovered a remedy for this disease: The new remedy is superior to the air treatment which has been used for the last 25 years with fairly good results. There was, however, always more or less danger of introducing infection in to the udder by the air inflation method and of causing inflammation that sometimes resulted in the loss of the udder and quite frequently caused a permanent reduction in the milk flow. The new method consists in Inject ing calcium gluconate Into the blood of a cow affected with milk fever. The disease, It has been demonstrated, Is caused by a lack of calcium in the blood and this is supplied by the calcium gluconate so rapidly that a cow suffering with milk fever will recover in from 13 to 20 minutes after treat-, ment. The remedy is exceedingly simple and very effective and the Missouri authorities claim that it never interferes with the milk flow of the cow.-- Wisconsin Agriculturist. Woods Hide Home of Myles Standish iMixbury, Mass.--Tourists browsing in this ancient Pilgrim township often find it .difficult to locate one of Duxbury's coveted shrines, the site of Myles Standlsh's home. In a clump of woods on Captain's hill is a boulder marking the site. Nearby, hidden by brush, are six small stones marking the bounds of the dwelling. Still another marker, some distance down 'the hill, designates the site of the Captain's spring, which suddenly went dry after a storm nearly a century ago. So Isolated are these historic spots,-and so overgrown with brush, that even many townsfolk are unable to direct visitors to them. Keep the Good Cows Of course we want to advise the elimination of the scrub cow and of the aged cow; but It does not follow that there Isn't a good opportunity right now for the farmer keeping, feed ing and milking, his good cows. Those of us who know how difficult it is to avoid bringing In disease when we have to go out and buy new cows. I think will agree that it is good advice to urge the farmer to hold on to all the good cows he has, breed better one3, feed liberally, and produce good quality roilk and cream. We are stimulating a demand for very much larger quantities of milk, cream, butter, and cheese and, In my estimation, we probably will continue to get as satisfactory returns from dairying as from Tmyother branch of farming.--J. H. Frandsen, Department of Dairy Industry, Massachusetts Agricultural College. DAIRY NOTES Succulent feeds have a beneficial effect upon the digestive tract of the cow. " " / ' V / . .
