She not only had her Job ; she was the recipient of the chief's solicitude, ne had gone out of his way to teach her and a lesson In the ethics and the technique of the profession!

His slow smile was more significant than his words. "Look in your thesaurus for an antonym for animosity, will you, Mary?" "Oh oh !" Mary Brown ran. Yet, her optimism notwithstanding, It was scarcely two weeks before Mary again was In John Stark's office by command listening to his brusque orders; "Turn over your survey party to Anderson tomorrow morning, M. Brown." "Yes, sir," Mary managed. The chief engineer was consulting his notes. To all appearances the conversation was ended. What did this portend? She swallowed hard. "And where If anywhere shall I report, sir?" Mary heard his incredible answer then: "Department of design, M. Brown." Stark looked up at her, a twinkle coming Into the deep-se- t eyes, the ferocity of his bristling little mustache ousted by a smile. "I capitulate, M. Brown. Long ago I capitulated. I have no quarrel with a girl on the Job. At least, this girl. I congratulate you, not only for efficiency In your work, but for your your balance. You never have been masbut never culine, you have used your sex as an alibi. Moreover, you never have let the patent admiration of young engineers interfere with business.

Hugo was not only his country's greatest poet In the Nineteenth century, but equally famed as the writer of such celebrated dramatic novels as "Notre Dame" and "Les Mlserables." He wa also a superb orator, and It Is safe to say that no more eloquent words have been spoken concerning the Eighteenth century sage during all the years which elapsed Blnce 1778 when Voltaire laid down the burden of his body.

It usually starts when chicks pick at what to them is simply a bright object that turns out to be some little fellow's toenail. Continued picking may cause the skin to be broken Just above the toenail, and bleeding results. After this, the rest Is easy ; more picking occurs and more bleeding. Many poultrymen darken the brooder house for the first few days so this habit will not start Observe Regular Habits Regularity Is one of the Important factors In the successful management of layers, doing the same things at the same time each day so that the hens come to look for and combining as many them, chores as possible at one time so the hens will be disturbed as little as possible.
