Rushes eagerly to boathouse and asks "What's doing In stripers?" Gets answer: "You know how bass are?" Replies: "No. How are they?" Is told: "Ain't heard of one caught in 10 days. Nice run of snapper blues, though." 5. Calls it a day and spends night deploring the luck. Starts early next morning for Roaring Rip, 60 miles away, on a report a feller got 20 nice ones, ranging up to 35 pounds, a few days ago.

New York City, one of the last strongholds of the surface car, announces an-nounces that they will be removed from the streets by January 1. We, tor one, feel a little sad. not only to see the trolley car pass from the streets of Gotham but from any other place. It was a symbol of a happier, more philosophical and more comfortable America. The swifter, more up to date and less restricted bus has replaced It aU over the land, but to us a bus Is as satisfactory a substitute for a trolley as a witch's broom would be for a ride on a clood. Not that we have been on a trolley trol-ley in years. We don't remember the last time, but our childhood memories mem-ories of the trolley ride are bright and glamorous. We can recall trolley cars on the Sylvan avenue line back home that we loved. And trolleys on the run from Merwin's beach, miles through a leafy passage pas-sage by Woody Crest Rocky Ledge, Prospect Beach and West Haven that still seems like something out of a fairy, tale.

Tests have shown that Irradiated birds have a tendency to level out the peaks and valleys of the egg-laying egg-laying season with the gain reaching reach-ing to 15 per cent, most of which comes during the winter months. The greatest use on the poultry farm has been in the brooding of chicks. It has been proven that not only has mortality been greatly reduced re-duced by the application of bactericidal bac-tericidal lamps, but that vigor and gain in weight of the chicks has been materially improved. Even when the lamps are kept operating op-erating over the roosts all night the hens rest perfectly, and gain in general health. The lamps have been given thorough tests on Individual Indi-vidual poultry farms and tests are now being conducted at various state experimental stations. These invisible bullets of light sprayed by the sterilamp ultraviolet tube, has given the poultry raiser a new weapon to fight his present high rate of mortality. Agriculture In the News W. J.

Theodore Harris. 43-year-old cripple who has been living In an abandoned double-decker bus, soon will move into a dream house of his own complete with shrubbery shrub-bery and a vine-covered fence. Harris' plight came to the public attention recently when he was charged with violating the zoning ordinance. Alderman Vernon G. Riehl, who served as ' provisional city judge in the cripple's case, dismissed dis-missed the charge and said: "Society owes you an apology for singling you out and bringing you into court on a charge when there is so much wrong in the world." Society is going to add action to kind words. Twenty sympathetic St. Louisans are banding together to help in the house-raising. They have bought a lot on which the home is to be bulit It will be held in trust for Harris, and later it will be turned over to a charitable institution. Doors, windows, roofing material and paint will be donated by firms dealing in such commodities. The cripple, who makes a meager living repairing clocks and old-fashioned music boxes, said he had acquired ac-quired a gift of 240 feet of wooden handrails from the old excursion steamer Capital, which is now being scrapped. "I'm going to make a fence out of that," he said, "with vines." There will be a special ramp into the house to facilitate Harris' entrance en-trance on his motor-propelled three-wheeled three-wheeled car. The move in his behalf, he said, was started by three persons who appeared as character witnesses in his case. 'Tve already got a name for my home," Harris said. "I'm going to call it "The Little Ranch House on the Hill.' " Physician's Trust Fund Helps 12,519 Students MARSHALL, MO. The quinine pills of Dr. John Sapplngton, pioneer Missouri physician, have helped 12,519 Saline county boys and girls get an education at a total cost of $211,803, the annual report of the Sappington school fund discloses. The fund dates back to 1857 when Dr. Sappington, one of the state's first physicians, set up a $20,000 trust the income from which was to be used in giving common school education to deserving, needy children. chil-dren. This was before public schools vhad been established. The proud and whimsical "Old Doc" was the first to use quinine extensively ex-tensively for malaria and made a fortune selling the drug to malaria sufferers of the Missouri and Mississippi Mis-sissippi valleys. With the advent of public school systems, proceeds of the fund were directed toward aiding boys and girls of high school and college ages, with a big share of the money going to the latter group. Beneficiaries of the fund are required to maintain good scholastic standing. The original $20,000 has earned nearly $300,000. The fund has a current cur-rent balance of $82,500. The colorful Sappington family figured prominently in early Missouri Mis-souri history. Selling Restrictions On Domestic Wool Relax WASHINGTON, D.
