London.--The "trial separation" li •i'omlug into popularity here through the marital. experiments of such persons as the lovely blonde Canadianborn actress, Margaret Bannerman, or • Bunny," as she is knowD to her Westl£ nd admlrerak / After several years as*/he wife of the famous British producer, Anthony Prlnsep, who declares that he expended $350,000 to launch plays for her •dramatic talents, she has resolved to leave him temporarily "to strike out •on her own." "My wife," stated Prinsep, "and 1 are trying an experiment in separation. There is no question of a divorce. She has taken a flat, and Is living on the money she earns. She likes it better that way. "We first fell in love ten years ago •when she played In 'Decameron DNighfs.' I then qpast her In the part •which made her triumph. Tor years "we tried to find plays with the same hard-diamond parts, but they did not •come along, and our ventures together icost me $350,000. "Bunny herself, appalled at our losses, persuaded me to give up my Jease of the Globe. We went to live '5n the country, but I soon saw that «he fretted at her inactive life. "I bought another play for her, but she did not want to play the part, and went off to the Shilling theater full of independence. I have waited a year for her to come back, but she prefers to owe something to herself. No husband can be told plainer than that "I have been married to two stars (Prinsep was formerly the husband of .Marie Lohr, another famous English actress), and a fortune slipped through my hands." Thieves Clean Up House . While. Family Sleeps On Seattle, Wash. -- What Intruders -didn't do to the home of L. M. Riches while he and his family slept peacefully remains to be discovered. The burglars broke Into the home, stole Mr. Itiches' trousers from his bedroom, ransacked the nouse from top to bottom, carried off two dozen Jars of canned fruit from the cellar, -took a quart of milk from the cupboard, stripped the clothesline of two -dozen handkerchiefs, and backed the Riches' automobile part way out of the garage before abandoning efforts to take it. They left the automobile key in the seat of the machine. Mr, Riches' -^trousers had $25 in them.-- ~r- Man Uses His Mother's Picture to Hide Still Salt Lake City, Utah.--W. K. Thom never wants his mother to be lone- _soae, so he hung a large portrait.of her over a still he operated. "Aren't you ashamed that she should see^you breaking the lawT" H. K. Record, patrolman in charge of a; raid on the still, asked. "Well, sir," he replied, "I'm a hillbilly from the Cumberland mountains. My mother was raised withr a still and I hung her picture there- so she woaldn't be lonesome." The serious illness of one of .his patients compelled a- celebrated physician to send her to 4>ed for the remainder of her life. She piteously remarked, "Must I lie here all the rest of my days?" "No," replied the physician, "only one cjay at a time." If by some magic prophetic vision, we could see enacted on a/"sy<er screen all tit" experiences w iV 1 c h would come to us • i t lire, would we really choose to see it?" Wotlld we have courage to face It? Emphatically, we would not. If we knew beforehand all' the Joy that was c6ming to us, it wbuld rob life of touch of its zestj If we knew in advance the adverse conditions, we would .not havd" sufficient "beryeT' to go forward, If gome of us knew at the beginning of 1933 what was ahead_6f us: for that year, we would have beeh inclined to give up before we really start-, ed. As It turned out, we went through it and the skies are clearer and the future brighter than they were a year ago. It is a very merciful Providence that hides the future from us, thereby compelling us to live and work day by day. It is all folly to try to live a whole we.;". in a single day or an entire year In a month. No truer statement was ever penned than "sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." Trying to live the future today deprives us of strength and enduring power. When we dissipate our energy in unnecessary anxiety, we throw sand into the wheels of progress,"imd the friction thus produced causes a mental aberration or a nervous breakdown. Seeking strength for each day's task and endeavoring to solve a problem when Tt arises, and not before, enables us to master our work and not be mastered by It "The eternal stars," writes Carlyle, "shine out as soon as It Is dark enough."

So far abotit 7,000 government bird houses have been -put up and^he private owners of forestry land are asked to follow the example. , How to Clean Wax From Ball Until the surface of a basketball becomes waxy from contact with a polished or waxed floor its action on such a floor will be indistinguishable from its action on a floor which hat not been waxed.

GIVE UP ROOSTERS FOR QUALITY EGGS Illinois Sale Proves Idea Is a Good One. A lpss of five million dollars annually, which spoiled eggs are estimated to be causing Illinois fanners, could be materially reduced if all poultr$- men In the state followed the lead of White county fanners In getting rid of surplus.roosters, according to II. II. Alp, extension specialist of the college of agriculture, University Of Illinois/' " "" .'-1 A , total of 1,387 rooster^ weighing 8,019 pounds--more than four tons-- were rounded,up off the county farnis and sold during a recent "rooster day" staged as piirt of the college's camv paign for quality Illinois;eggs.'. Bringing five and one-half cents a pound net, the' roosters, put almost $475 cash Into the pockets of farmers.-: A crowd of -3,500 people attended tbe /"rooster .day" event and sale. ]' Roosters are one «f the chief offenders In causing egg spoilage, because the germ in fertile eggs will begin to develop in warm weather without the eggs being put under a hen or in an Incubator. Not only roosters but also other causes of poor quality eggs should be guarded against, because the goldenyolked, middle-west eggs will bring a premium price on the markets If producers will give them proper ca» and handling prior to selling. His suggestions are: "Feed a balanced ration and limit the feeding to that ration. "Gather eggs twice dally. "Keep eggs In a cool, moderately dry place cooler than 00 degrees Fahrenheit. "Cool egg* befofe placing them la th#" case. "Eliminate fltrty eggs by providing a nest for every six hens, by keeping the flock confined to the house until noon on days when It Is wet outside, by keeping all broody- hens off the nests and by keeping the house clean. "Protect eggs from heat and ran when marketing them* •'Market eggs -twice a week. "Sort eggs according to size and color of shell. "Sell to dealers prope^ quipped to handle eggs." When primitive man had appendicitis did he die; or did his lap* pendix never bother him? Why not use old words In a new connection as Kipling did when he said," "White as a rain-washed bone"?' • t SCIENCE SQUIBS State College Poultry Department Sells Meat The poultry department at the state college of agriculture at Ithaca,' N. Y., sold solid chicken meat to its egg customers in disposing of several hundred eight-week-old broilers at the end of a feeding experiment. The method Is recommended by L. M. Hur'd to poultrymen in localities where the meat can be retailed. The" broilers were killed and skinned, and only the breasts, thighs, livers, gizzards and hearts were sold. One man usually killed and stripped from eight to ten birds an hour. At twenty- five cents an hour the cost was about tliree cents a bird. The meat sold to regular egg customers for thirty cents a pound, and moved readily, he says. A two-pound broiler brought about thirty cents, or about the cost of growing a broiler. The shrinkage from the live weight was about 54 per cent. It Is unnecessary, Professor Hurd points out, to wait until the broilers weigh two pounds, for they can be killed any time after they weigh a half-pound. It is more profitable, he" says, to Sell broilers as solid chicken meat than to kill and bury the cockerels as soon as the sex can be determined, as many poultrymen did this year. Disinfect Laying House Twice a year has been recommended as the proper number of times to thoroughly disinfect.the laying house; once a month would be better. It Is next to Impossible to properly disinfect an earth floor. With a concrete floor and cheap spray outfit, an extra half hour after cleaning out the litter will be ample time to make a thorough job of disinfecting.

Here are a few examples: He makes his boots white. lnstead of btacl;. , He puts a guest of honor on his left, not on his right. - He wears white instead ef black as a sign of mourning.

Sometimes one can'provide natural shade, but in other cases artificial shade ibay be necessary. Besides plenty- of shade, be sure that the poultry house has proper ventilation. , One reason why some farm flocks-do not lay more eggs Is because they are not given sufficient water to drink. * e' * A truckload of capons, tiirk-eys and chickens, was sent to the'Philadelphia market recently by 42 Yadkin county C.) farmers at net profit of $307.01 to the growers, • No permanent laying hoase should be buiit without consideration tas to best t.vpe of soil, drainage, and' sufficient land-back.and front sd tbAt ft*: taUon-of.yards may oe pratjticedi --A total of 274 books were published In Braille, for use of blind readers In the first ten months of 1933.
