He learns that Itonn-okIsland perfectly exemplifies the adage that byways of Isolation pocket the choicest realities of life. Here is a genuine, Inbred dignity, hosexpressive of a pitable folk. The islanders are proud of their physique, speech, manners and customs, historic survivals of old English Devon. The ubiquitous automobile did not reach Itoanoke Islund until less tliun a decade ago. For land transportation there were up to that time only enrts and the sand ponies and occasional oxcarts. Even the little sand ponies' tradition went back to castaway vessels, to the Portuguese and to Sir Walter Kalelgh's voyagers. On Italelgh's attempts to colonization hinged momentous results In the New world. The "Lost Colonies," though they began and endued Sir Walter's ventures upon the North Carolina Sea Islands, were he first English-speakinsettle-jnentIn America. Discovered in 1584. In 1384 the adventurer obtained a patent from Queen Elizabeth, whose favors his genius readily commanded, and dispatched to the New world the first of his expeditions. The little band, under Amu-da- s and Barlowe, sailed through an inlet on July 4, l.rS4, to discover lloanoke Island a spot so favored in climate and setting and so rich In fruits, game, and bird life that It seemed to them a veritable paradise. Back to England they sailed to describe It, taking with them two friendly Indian chiefs; and also to bacco, sassafras, maize, pumpkins; squash, grapes, and other fruits. Their story created excitement, and in the following year Raleigh sent out Sir Richard Grenville with a second colony, numbering 108 souls, determined to make a permanent home on Roanoke Island and establish plantations. They landed on August 17, 15S5, and built a log fortification, to which they gave the name "The New Fort In Virginia," also spoken of as "Fort Raleigh." However, they could not live at peace with the Indians, and the entire colony sailed back with Sir Francis Drake in 1580, Just two weeks before the arrival of reinforcements. Finding the fort deserted, the new group also returned to England, but left e d I 15 men on s the Island. A third expedition, sent out by Raleigh In 1587, found the fort de molished and no trace of the 15 men except the bones of one slain by the savages. The gruesome discovery was a shock to the homeseek-ers- , and they willingly followed the advice of their leader, John White, to forestall future hostility by making friends of the Indians. The plan succeeded admirably. Manteo, one of the friendly chiefs, was even baptized and given a title of nobility as Lord of Roanoke the first English peerage In America. Virginia Dare's Birth. On August 18, 1!S7, five days after the baptism of the Indian, was born John White's granddaughter, Vlrgisia Dare, the first Snglish native of America. She wa baptized on the following Sunday. Thus was Elizabethan civilization anchored here by a baby, a mother and the Americoo family. Around little Virginia Dare remained more than a hundred men, women and children. They were left alone for three years. Then John White, who had gone back to England after establishing the colony, returned to find that they had disappeared. on Roanok km lUL - Island. The only promising clue White found was the sign "CUO" blazed on a tree. Since these letters were part of a code agreed upon by the colnnlsts three years before, the rescue party hoped that their friends had gone to Croatan, home or the friendly Manteo, who had promised sanctuary In emergency; but the captain, pleading bad weather and lack of supplies, forced the party to sail away before the clue could be Investigated. What had been the colonists' fate? The blazed sign was all that was ever found of the Lost Colonies except hasty marks of departure. burned chests, rusty Iron Imple ments, household effects and books. Whatever the fate of the col onlsts, either they or their early successors lert their Elizabethan dialects, manners, customs, and fea tures In this American byway. As the little mail boat bobs along toward Roanoke Island, the traveller's thoughts turn from the story of Virginia Dare and the first colonists to another hist-rldrama of the Banks. In 1812, Just across the channel from Roanoke Island, on the ocean sand spits of Nags Head. the pilot boat Patriot, carrying Rurr Alston, daughter of Aaron Rurr and wife of Governor Alston of South Carolina, ended Its last voyage. After the tragic col lapse of her father's career and the loss of her little son, the only hope of the Burr family, Mrs. Alston was In the depths of despair. She set sail from Georgetown, S. a, to Join her lonely father, and disappeared forever I Life on the Island. A bit of life on Roanoke is revealed by a recent visitor, a woman doctor. An old midwife and nurse, the widow of a life service man, was to care for an aged woman In her ancient cottage by the sound, where she lived alone. Her name was '"Mis'" Rashl the "Mis'" an designation for mistress, and "Bash!," she said, "a Bible name after Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah ; but they call me Bashl." Surnames on the Island do not denote the individual, for the families In a hamlet are usually all members of one or two clans. In a worn rocker In which the old woman had rocked her six children the doctor rested after dinner and listened to her tale of a remarkable life history. What she learned entitles Mis' Bashl to a place In the annals of medical history. The old nurse belonged to the island's remnant.- Her blood, her sterling character, and her beautiful, broad dialect were heritages of the old Devonshire She was comely and castaway. agile, her visage one of strength and The greatest chick losses occur during the brooding period which makes it necessary to clean the bouse thoroughly before the chicks are placed In It To go about having a sanltarv brooder bouse the. noultrvman should first scrape all the old manure and dirt from the tower side walls and floor of the house and clean the water containers, r ash hoppers and other equipment used In the house. After this thorough mechanical cleansing has been done. the lower aide walls, floor, water containers, feeding equipment, brooder stove and canopy should be scrubbed with a lye solution made by dissolving one oound of lye In teu gallons of hot water. A stiff bristle broom may be used to apply he solution. This lye mixture will not only further cleanse the house but It also has germ killing power. Where the poultryman has a fire gun, he may use this Instead of the lye solution. After the brooder house has been thoroughly cleaned. It must be cleaned again at Intervals during the brooding period. If the house lias a dirt floor, remove the too few Inches and replace It with clean dry soil, sand or gravel. The use of wire frames on which to place the feeders and water containers Is also advised. The house needs to be free from drafts and If It Is movable. It Is well to take It to a new location after cleanlne. Do not crowd the chicks In the house. About six square inches of tloor space per chick Is necessary ror good health. c The-odos- d slab-woo- thought d Of only five weeks' "schoolln'," she had never learned to read, but had been taught to work Indoors and out and to spin. At sixteen "out" (old) she married and at twenty-on- e "out," In a far life service station hamlet, she undertook her first obstetrical case. "Doctor, I knew nothin' of It; but Mehnley read me a doctor book, and the moon was comln to full, so the baby would be thrifty. One born In the dark of the moon is not" Mis' Bashi's Nursing. On her little plantation, in pine woods by the sound, though widowed later, she cared for a psychiatric mother, raised her own brood and her mother's and her brother's children, cared for cows, pigs, and gardens. Then for 43 years she ministered to all the sick of the region, a local doctor coming only at rare Intervals. Her sand pony Napoleon carried her In a cart tlirougti woods and sand and water. In gale or sunshine to her patients. Often afoot she swung with her Viking stride down beaches or through the woods. She was smart, exct, asd" knowing, though she signed by mark, and she was known as a Her "couthy" (capable) woman. dignity of bearing and courtesy were exquisite. Thus she fell Into t'te role that nature cast for her. Months later the doctor realized how the personality of this Island woman, linked with a touch of science, prevented morbid results from household conditions. She established her own art of medicine and It worked. d Dosing With Drugs Will Not Benefit Laying Hens Dosing the flocks with drugs will not result In more eggs. That Is the conclusion of the poultry de partment of the Michigan Agrlcul tural college. Egg production Is a matter of Inherited characteristics and of proper feeding. Mongrel birds are very apt to be unprofitable and hens which are compelled to forage for their living have little time to fill the egg basket Drugs do not. change the factors Inherited by hens nor do they sup ply needed food elements so the possibility of nostrums affecting egg production are very remote. Dr. II. E. Moskey, United States De partment of Agriculture, says posi tively that no known drug or com bination of drugs will Increase egg production. Rations for laying flocks must supply the food elements needed to maintain the body weight of the hen, to supply warmth and energy, and to supply the material con tained In the eggs themselves. Good grains, green feeds, milk, shell, and grit furnish all the materials need ed by the laying hen. Diseased hens should be treated for the malady with whieh they are affected, and, In case of contagious disorders, proper sanitary measures should be practiced In the houses and runs where chickens are con fined. Indiana Farmer's Guide. Chicks Winter-Hatche- d Winter hatched chicks are less subject to diseases, cannibalism, and other vices than chicks hatched in April or May, says a writer in Successful Farming. Coccidlosls and some other poultry diseases are held In check by coid weather. The artificial heat necessary for the comfort of early chicks keeps the floor litter drier and less favorable to the development of disease which Is encouraged with damp litter. Can nibalism and feather-pickinmay be controlled among the winter-hatchechicks by limiting the amount of light used. Covering the windows with burlap or tar paper excludes some of the light and Is very successful In controlling these troubles. g d TIMES-NEW- NEPHI.

NEW POINTS IN CAR OF FUTURE Writer Doubts J?lane Will place the Auto. Dis- - Every year the automobile shows turn out thoughts to next year's cars. But motor mauufacturtrs. unless I am much mistaken, are at heart more concerned with the cars of two, three or even four jears hence, if mule. ers did not habitually look far ahead. me time would come when "next year's models" showed no changes at all except In body work. Builders are experimenting with slnglepedal control, with small engines producing even greater tvoriwpower, and similar developments of tne near future. Let us look at the car of ten, twenty and even nrt years hence. The first objection that will be raised Is: "Cars will not be used In 1.)84; every one will travel br air plane." I do not anticipate that flying will make such strides, I'rof. A. M. Low, British scientist and author. writes, In the I'lilladelplila Public Ledger. We have first to establish the plane which can descend and an-cend vertically, to overcome entirely certain weather conditions such as fog, and to find a way of getting more power from our fuel. For many years flying will call for lengthy training, and I put the time when the ordinary man will know how to land his plune on his own roof or In a gale at more than flffv years ahead. Until this time motor cars will be necessary. In my opinion they will reniuln universally popular for Journeys of less than 100 miles, especially as the average sneed rises. Rut their character will change completely. The first thine we shall n.itlre about this car of the future la its shape. It will be as carefullv stream lined as an ocean Mner. There Is no ?reat Inducement to streamline cars - iOBE IF! persons who wish to travel W) miles per hour on our rouds Is small com pared with those who drive comfort ably at 28 miles per hour. In the future niftier speeds will be posnlble because of Improved iranic condition. Kafe roada of rea sonable width will be available. vehicles will be barred from motor roads, and pedestrians will either be railed off or carried on overhead footways. Sixty miles an nour win tie a safe average speed, wnue the absence of unbanked cor ners on these special roads will make mucn higher speed possible. Cars may even be slgnuled automaticailv like trains, so that no two cars are ever within 200 yards of each other Air resistance Increases as th square of the upeed, and after 60 miles per Hour much of the energy Is devoted to overcoming air nreKmir Streamlining will, therefore, be of tremendous Importance and the car or the future will have smooth lines from end to end.
