They set oft, reached the station, got their tickets, and were about to enter the train when the proud parent was touched on the shoulder by a policeman, states London Tit-Bit- s. What have you been doing? the constable demanded. Me? Why, nothing stammered the surprised man. ' The policeman waved his hand towards the family. Then why, he asked, is this crowd following you? ! FASHION HINT Industrial research laboratory has been set up at the University of Blinols to study the soy bean crop. Dr. E. 0. May has been named the director. Breeding work is under the direction of W. J. Morse of the bureau of plant industry. Three immediate objectives of the new laboratory are: Improvement of present Industrial uses for soy beans; more facts on the effects of different processes on the quality and quantity of soy bean products ; and facilities for testing different varieties as to adaptability for industrial use. On experimental plots nearby, plant breeders hope to grow new varieties even better suited to Industrial demands. Soy bean acreage rose from 2,000,000 acres In 1924 to nearly 5,000,000 last year. Production of the beans themselves increased from 5,000,000 bushels to 40,000,000 bushels. Reasons for this Increase in addition to the demand for beans for food, feed and industrial uses are immunity of soys to chinch bugs and other pests, good prices compared with other grain crops, drouth resistance and high seed yield. Soy beans are used In making industrial and food products such as paint, enamel, varnish, glue, printing ink, rubber substitutes, linoleum, insecticides, plastics, glycerin, flour, soy sauce, breakfast food, candies, roasted beans with a flavor, live stock feeds, and so on. Lecithin Is a valuable product of soy bean oil used In the manufacture of candies, chocolate, margarine, medicines, In textile dyeing and as an emulsifier. A question the new laboratory will study is why the same soy varieties growing under varying soil and climatic conditions show a range of 12 to 26 per cent in oil and 28 to 54 per cent in protein. For paints, varieties having an oil high in iodine number are desirable. For food purposes an oil low in "iodine number is better. This laboratory is being established under the provisions of the Bankhead-Jone- s apt of June 29, 1935, which provides for establishing by the department of Agriculture of a limited number of specialized .laboratories in the major agricultural regions. nut-lik- e "Merciful Providence! what a nar- row escape.

Use Safety Pens for Handling Young Bulls Never slaughter a high grade young bull just because he has an ugly disThe indiscriminate slaughposition. tering of young bulls is a great hindrance to herd improvement In this state, says John A. Arey, extension dairyman at North Carolina State college. When a bull has been found to have the ability to transmit good type and high milk producing capacity to his daughters, Arey added, he is a proven asset to the herd. The life of these bulls, which take the guesswork out of breeding, should be prolonged as long as they are active. A dairy bull can be handled safely, and his period of usefulness extended, by keeping him in a safety bull pen. Sugh a pen can be built by any dairyman at low cost from materials usualfound around a farm, he added. A wider use of safety bull . pens would not only make possible more rapid progress in herd improvement, Arey declared, but at the same time s would protect the from ugly bulls. No matter how tame a bull may appear to be, there is no way of telling when he may suddenly turn on his handlers. ly Working Overtime Hows your bungalow?

In describing a ship the size of the Queen Mary it is hard to decide Just where to begin. Might begin just as you would if you were aboard her, waking in the morning after a night at sea. Probably you would want to start with a brisk constitutional to absorb some of that exhilarating salt air. Taking the promenade deck for a walk around ship, you would find yourself out for quite a hike about a half mile, as a matter of fact, for the Queen Mary is 1,018 feet long, with a beam of 118 feet knot is 1.151 miles, which means that you would actually be going nearly 37 miles an hour. There are many commercial concerns whose automobiles are governed not to exceed a speed of less than . that. There are more than four and f days of continual wonders to be seen in a tour of the ship from stem to stern. Directly behind the first stack are the sports (leeks, with even tennis courts for the guests enjoyment Forward of the stack are the officers quarters, the bridge, wheel room and chart room and .other spots where you mustnt come uninvited, Next deck below is the sun deck, with more officers rooms, a grill, s courts, a moving picture theater, the wireless rooms, and a few de luxe suites and staterooms. Below that is the promenade deck, where the stroller may browse in a real metropolitan shopping center. Also to be found on this deck are the writing lonnge, the great ballroom and a childrens playroom. What Many Decks Contain. Most of the tourist accommodations arefound on the main deck, one deck below, reached by stairs or one of the 21 elevators aboard ship. There are more writing rooms, a tourist lounge and a library here. A deck has an- one-hal- squash-racquet- Contented cows are critters. All they have to do, seemingly, is eat, sleep, and chew their cud, yet enviable as their lives may appear to be, they are one of the hardest working animals on the farm. Night and day their bodies are working to produce milk, the secretion of which requires a steady drain of food from the blond stream. If well fed. nutrients are taken from the digestive tract by the blood, but if undernourished the cow produces milk at the expense of her body as a result. third-clas- clothing shop, book shop and telephone conversations. booths for The passengers need never be out of touch with friends or relatives ashore, as anyone who listened to the broadcasts from the Queen Mary on her maiden trip will realize. Every facility for broadcasting to shore bas been Installed in the ship. Concerts or speeches can be broadcast from nearly every public room.

Four gargantuan bronze propellers, each 20 feet from tip to tip, drive the Queen Mary through 'the heaviest Seas. W eighing 35 tons each, they are the largest ever cast for any ship, yet so delicately are they balanced, they may be turned with a touch of the hand. Some powerful machinery is required to propel a ship that weighs 80,773 tons. The Queen Marys four sets of engines are more than 200 feet long and develop some 200.000 horsepower; have sounded fantastic in the days when the first predecessor of the Queen Mary, the Britannic, went Into passenger service with her 1,154 tons and 207 feet of length, propelled by wooden paddle wheels. Widely Air Conditioned. Three rooms where the greatest crowds will gather are ; these are the main restaurant (the largest room afloat) ; the main lounge, which is frequently converted Into a theater, and the tourist restaurant. The Queen Mary is said to have made greater use of air conditioning than any other, vessel on the seas. Fresh air is mechanically forced into every state-rooand cabin, and passengers are able to regulate the supply to their individual quarters as they will. Electricity cooks all the meals aboard the ship except for the steaks which are broiled on the charcoal grill. It also furnishes the power for cleaning up after meals, for a gigantic machine, referred to by the crew as "Mechanical Molly, washes, rinses, polishes and sterilizes thousands of dishes in an hour and is gentle as a kitten with even the most fragile china. Electrical machines also slice bacon, make bread, make coffee, burnish silver, .measure tea, mix dough, break Ice, cut butter, polish ranges and ovens, press ducks, mold dough, grind coffee, clarify fat and cut foods. m Oats as Feed Oats are not so high in fattening properties as corn. However, oats are very desirable as part of the grain, ration, especially for breeding animals and growing young stock, says the Rural New Yorker. On a strictly nutritive basis oats contain an average of about 16 per cent less starch and sugar, or as the chemist calls them, carbohydrates; about 1 per cent less fat, but a little over 2 per cent more crude protein than corn. On the average oats contain about 15 per cent less total digestible nutrients than corn. Corn contains an average of about 1,714 pounds of total digestible nutrients per ton and oats an average of 1,408 pounds. tween the forward and second stack on this deck is the mammoth swimming pool; there is a tourist swimming pool on F deck, below.
