I. - a uua auuw mai uiera arw iu inu United States more than 125,000 lodges or fraternal organizations which should presumably satisfy the longing of the majority of Americana for "belonging." But that doesn't take Into acconnt the Innumerable clubs, societies, associations and other organizations organiza-tions and rare Indeed Is the American who doesn't belong to one or more of these. All of these, of course, are organized for a "purpose" social, political, civic, business, scientific, scien-tific, professional, patriotic and honorary and those purposes are earnestly fostered by millions mil-lions of earnest Americana. And some of these earnest Americans are so interested In fostering those earnest purposes that they make an earnest earn-est effort to see how many of them they can Join and then bass their claim to fame on the number of organizations to which they belong. But If some aforesaid earnest American becomes be-comes Just a bit tired of his membership in clubs which have a "purpose," he still has an outlet for his "Joining" proclivities In some organizations organ-izations which are not so purposeful. These are the ones which have sometimes been designated as "freak and fun clubs," and It Is with this type of organization that this article deals. So If you are a "Joiner" and are looking for other club worlds to conquer, take a look at the list at the head of this article and decide which one you would like to Join. Of course, the qualifications for some of them may be a bit difficult for you to meet, but if you aren't eligible for one, you may be for another. For Instance, If you aren't a white person, six feet and one Inch tall or more, you'd be almost Instantly blackballed If you applied for membership member-ship In the National Society of Long Fellows or the Slx-Foot association. The National Society of Long Fellows was started several years ago by Phil B. Zimmerman of Topeka, Kan., when he was hotel commissioner of the Sunflower state. Since that time the club has grown so rapidly that there are now several thousand members throughout the United States. Some of the objectives of the club are to get longer bath tubs, shirts, sox and other clothing, higher awnings, signs and ceilings, bigger seats In theaters, and leg-room between the rows, restaurant tables that do not require, tha. Lous reuow 10 noiu mem up wiw nia anees ana pun- man berths In which they can sleep without doubling up like a Jackknlfe. Among members are John Aasen of Los An geles, Calif., who heads the list with a height of eight feet, nine and one-quarter Inches. Next tallest la Cllf Thompson of Wisconsin, who Is eight feet and six Inches. Three seven-footers are O. R. Williams of Oklahoma and Ruth Pun-can Pun-can and Forest Glenn of Illinois. Mr. Williams Is seven feet and five Inches, Miss Duncan Is seven feet and one Inch tall, and Mr. Glenn Is hslf sn inch taller than she. Ten-year old Robert Rob-ert Wadlow of Alton. HI., Is a member. Robert Is six feet and eleven Inches tall. If your personal appearance doesn't qualify you for that one, perhaps an absence of hair on your head will make you a Knight of the Gleaming Skull In the lluM lleud Club of America. That club was started away back In 1900 when I'nul Maude, a lnwyer of New York, took a photograph photo-graph of six bald hoaded men seated on the steps of John Belden's store in Falls Vllluge. Conn. By chance a copy of this photograph fell Into the hands of John Rodemeyer, a Greenwich, Green-wich, Conn., newspaper man. And presto! John then and there formed a club. Now It has more than 1,000 members and at every annual ban quet some member gircs a stirring speech on "Hair Tonics Which Bald Headed Barbers Sell to Bald Headed Boobs" or some such subject. (1. 8. If you're addicted to covering your baldness with outlandish headgear, then there's a place for you In the Society of Men who Wear Funny Hare). Ever go to the circus? "Sure!" you answer. "Oo every year don't care much about It myself, my-self, but I have to take the children." But JuM because you're a rt'Ktilar attondant, It doesn't mean that jou're eligible for membership In the llrcus Fans of America not unless st some time In your Juvenile career you earned you way Into the show by carrying water for the elephant. Karl Kae Knecht, an Indiana newspaper cartoonist, car-toonist, who founded the O. V. A. some the years ago, Is authority for the statement that many successful men of today are proud of the fact that they once served the thirsty pachyderms and they're enthusiastic members of this club. In a certain New York restaurant there's an unusual booth for diners. Over the entrance of what appears to be a tent are the words "Side Show," and adorning the front are two large, gaudy circus banners. One boldly announces "Nono the Wild Girl She Speaks No Language Playmates are Deadly Serpents." Another heralds "La Belle Rosa Flower of the Orient-Queen Orient-Queen of the Deserts Favorite of Sultans." Inside In-side the tent are painted banners, posters and photographs of circus performers and freaks. This side show tent Is the luncheon meeting place of the "P. T. Barnum Top No. 1 of the Circus Fans of America." Each state and large city has Its "Tent" or "Top" named for some famous circus man. The organization la primarily for fun, yet It has a serious purpose, say Its members that is, to "help the circus toward bigger and better things." Fans and lovers and friends of the circus cir-cus are banded together to see It perpetuated, and are eager that greater glory may come to the tented shows. If you missed out on the Juvenile Joy Just mentioned, men-tioned, perhaps you used to pump a pipe organ. If so, your name can be spread on the roll of the Guild of Former Organ Pumpers, an association associa-tion composed of those who, by their pledged statements, pumped a pipe organ In a church or chapel at some time In their youth. Its principal prin-cipal aim Is serious "to perpetuate the memories mem-ories of our decadent but honorable profession and to save for posterity some permanent evidence evi-dence of the Important part the pumper played In the musical and ecclesiastical progress of the ages." It has other alms "to encourage the singing of the old hymns at Sunday night gatherings" gath-erings" and "to prove that every successful man did not earn his first dollar selling newspapers" but Its primary purpose Is to achieve a belated recognition. The guild was launched In li26 under the favorable auspices of a natural divinity "Aeolus, the Greek God and Keeper of the Winds" and with the slogan, "Pump, for the Wind Is Fleeting." Fleet-ing." The first meeting was held In New York city In 1028. Officers, named after the stops on the organ, were elected. And the roster of members now holds the names of some of America's Amer-ica's foremost citizens. Will Hays, the czar of the movies, did his pumping on a pipe organ In Sullivan. Ind, his birthplace. He received 10 cents for his efforts, and the dime waa nald hlis...at the, conclusion of the morning cturclTservfce. His mother then led him by the hand to his Sunday school class, where he placed the money In the nsual collection. col-lection. James Couzens, United States genator from Michigan, pumped In the Presbyterian church at Chatham, Ont. He was paid $5 a year. He pumped conscientiously for two years. At the end of that time he collected the S10 he had coming, and this was a part of the original money he invested In stock of the Ford Motor company, which eventually made him one of the nation's richest men. The late Julius Rosenwald, chairman of the board of directors of Sears, Roehuck & Co., was also a pumper. He labored In U- Presbyterian church at Springfield, 111., and kindly accepted tlx? 25 cent weekly stipend which was turned over quarterly. But if In your youth you didn't turn an honest hon-est penny by pumping an organ, perhaps you did It in a printing office as a helper to the printer print-er publisher of the home town piper. If that waa fur enough back, you prol;iMy "pulled" a George Washington hand press, a bit of hack breaking labor necessary In the f.;d days If the newspaper reading public was to be kept Informed In-formed on the affairs of the community. If you did this, them you're eligible for' membership In the Ancient and Honorable Order of G. Wash. Pullers, a society founded at the suggestion of Harry C Webster, an old Missouri "print," which carries on Its membership rolls the name of a number of men who have risen high In the field of Journalism and who are proud to say that they got their itart In newspaper work at the levr of an old O. Wash. Then there's the Cub Reporters' association, composed of men who as young Journalists sought the adventure which Ik popularly sup posed to be found In newspaper work, found It, perhaps, and now In the midst of busy middle age look back fondly upon the time when they tolled nnder the lash of a "Simon Legree city editor" and dreamed the dream of all cub reporters re-porters that of "scooping the world on a big story." Anyone who has been the victim of horseplay, hazing, kidding and razzing or even torture by the old-time, hard-boiled, demon city editor Is eligible for membership. In the We quick hangings, hang-ings, dough prise fighting and "horrible Crimea" meant hardships and toll for the cub reporter. He "hot-footed" It around for news, bumping Into all sorts of hard and trying experiences. In the 90 barrooms were popular community centers, cen-ters, and crimes were Jobs for reporters to solve. Still In the field of Journalism, there are the Fossils old newspaper men who as boys engaged en-gaged In amateur Journalism and are proud of their boyish efforts. And although such a society has not yet been formed, any newsppaer man will tell you that there's a field for an organization to be known as the Association of Those Who Used to Be Newspaper Men Themselves. Are you a radio DX-erT Do yon sit up late at night "getting" new stations over your radio, either shore wave or long wave? Then yon can be Initiated Into the Royal Order of Hard-Boiled Owls with Rubber Ears with the howling ceremonies cere-monies which mark such an Initiation. Do you enjoy breaking the ice in a river, lake or pond and taking a bath there no matter what the weather may bet The Polar Bear club wants to hear from you, If you do. Do you ever subber frub hay feberT (Ker-choo!) The Hay Fever association will be glad to send you a membership member-ship application blank. Do you have unlimited faith In the woodchuck as an accurate weather prophet? So do the members of the Slumbering Ground Hog lodge, located at Quarryville, Pa. Organized by George W. Hensel, Jr., who Is Hibernating Governor, this lodge has for Its chief aim to extol the virtues of the groundhog, which, they say, "has an intelligence in-telligence of a higher order than that of any other animal from the tick of the blackberry to the elephant In the Jungle" and they take an oath to "defend him, his family and bis reputation, reputa-tion, and to guard blm as he slumbers." It's not easy to get Into this lodge for yon have to be elected by the even patriarchs after seven years of observation by the Defender of the Faith, the Chief Eye Rubber, the Patriarch de Luxe, the Bondless Treasurer and other offloers. But once you are elected, you can Join in the annual ceremony on February 2 around the groundhog's hole. If you believe that there's more than one name for the colored boys who look after your comfort on the pullman cars, then you should Join the ..V V.P.""A!r of' CsJuJ, .w0fua; Car Porters "George." Organised by George W.

Cohan, the official song write George William, Cardinal Mundeleln, the chaU laln; Georges Clemenceau was French charge) d'affaires ; and George ("Babe") Buth Is sergeant at arms. All of the foregoing are organizations to which almost anyone might possibly belong. But there are also others whose membership Is necessarily rather limited to the certain professions. For Instance, In-stance, you'd have to be a sailor in the United States navy In order to belong to the Anclenf, Honorable and Mystic Order of Lapa Lapa, although al-though there are many landlubbers who' are eminently fltfed for membership. The only qualification the prospective member must possess pos-sess Is that he humbly acknowledge that he Is a poor fish. But only sailors know how lo Initiate candidates properly, for It was two sailors who founded the organization st Shanghai. China, In 1027. and sailors sre keeping the order going. You couldn't belong to the Quiet Birdmen unless un-less you were a World war aviator nor to the Caterpillar club tmross you were an aviator who had to make an emergency parachute Jump to save your life, and you would be barred from membership in the Whosit club unless you were a New York bond salesman engaged In Selling municipal bonds. The list of these Interesting organisations could be extended Indefinitely were It not for the fact that the author ef this article has lust received notice of a meeting ef those Interested in forming a Society for the Prevention ef Forming Form-ing More Societies and he feels obligated to leave at once to attend the meeting.

Losses das to colds In the pot); try flock may ba reduced by guarding guard-ing against overcrowding Improper ventilation, dampness; InsanltaUon, and drafts from crevices la the walla back of the perches, according to a H. Edgington of the Ohio agricultural agricul-tural experiment station, Mr. Edgington said that wide variations vari-ations In temperature between nlgbt and day, long periods of cold, damp weather, and rapid changes of environment envi-ronment are other contributing causes resulting In colds. The disease dis-ease may affect birds of any age but is most likely to develop in yonng birds that are In overcrowded overcrowd-ed quarters or heavily Infested with Intestinal parasites, lice and mites. The first symptom of a cold I a clear, watery discharge from one or both nostrils. In a few days this discharge becomes viscid, yellowish or gray In color, - and resembles pus. As the disease becomes more advanced the discharge dries on the nostrils and Interferes with breathing. breath-ing. The affected birds frequently sneeze, appear droopy and may have a watery discharge from the eyes. Treatment of the Individual fowl affected with a cold usually la Impractical Im-practical and rarely profitable on-less on-less the bird Is of exceptional value. Attempts to administer medicinal agents in the feed seldom are successful suc-cessful owing to the lack of appetite ap-petite possessed by the sick bird. Fowls affected with colds are best removed from the flock, and If the disease is In sn advanced stage It Is best to destroy tbem. In attempting at-tempting to control and prevent colds it Is necessary to discover the reason for the low resistance of the birds and then to remove the cause. Laying Age of Pullets Matter of Importance More than 100,006,000 pullets are needed yearly to take the place of the mature heens retired from the flocks and marketed because they have passed their prime as egg producers. pro-ducers. It Is estimated that there are more than 300,000,000 bens In the United States on farms and in poultry plants, or an allowance of nearly three bens working for each man, woman and child In the conn-try. conn-try. In particular, farmers and poultry poul-try specialists are nrged to batch chicks early In order to bring pallets pal-lets to the laying age In time to supply the autumn market when egg prices are highest, that is, between be-tween late August and January 1, after which the general run of pallets pal-lets and bens are laying and prices drop to wbat Is usually the low point of the year in April. The use of the Incubator and brooder is recommended as the most economical and labor-saving way of reproducing the flock, and also the most certain means In Insuring an early hatch. Exchange. Use of Cod-Liver Oil When using cod-liver oil with the scratch mixture or poultry mash, the quantity usually recommended Is a 2 per cent by weight, that Is, for 100 pounds of grain or mash two ponnda of cod-liver old should be used. This Is a simple amount to spply, as a quart measure may be used, a quart being approximately equivalent to two pounds. Feed treated with cod-liver oil should be mixed In comparatively small quantities so aa to Insure Its has a chance to become even slightly rancid. A few days of hot weather may result In losses of feed value through this factor. Because of Its vitamin content, which makes It something of a substitute sub-stitute for the health-giving effects of sunshine, cod-liver oil has sometimes some-times been referred to as "canned sunshine." Keep Poultry Run Clean It is not desirable to build up s permanent poultry pasture. Orow- j ing poultry should be ranged on new ground and It is ! therefore necessary neces-sary to rotate pastures as well as j general yards. Both alfalfa and ; clover are Ideal forage for young ' poultry. Plots of these or such other crops as are used should be so J arranged that some of them may be ' cultivated and harvested at least In alternate years to prevent contam ination of the grounds. Idaho Farmer. Lime for Shell Hens must have lime In readily dlgestable form. Among the beet sources of this element are oyster shell and high quality ground limestone. lime-stone. Limestones known to be high In magnesium, usuallv referred to as domestic limestones, should not be used as the sole source of l eggshell forming material.
