• The Sp1ng cleanup season is here
again, and it's time for burning dried
grans, leaves, trash, brush and all
the other odds and Ends that
gather around a place during the
winter, But before you Mart, give
a thought to this -110W MANY
PEOPLE WILL MEET DEATH
IlECWSE, OF SUCH CLEAN-
UPS?
*
1 haven't the- full statistics for
Canada, ea: the United States either.
But • 1 did see recently that last
spring. in the Stale t'f Iowa alone,
no it's than fifteen people met
death through these Spring bon-
fires; also, that most of such vic-
tims were children tinter ten yeas
old, ie. • .adults ver sixty,

'Co get the trash bnrneei up with-
out undue risk of life or limb, it
will pay to follow these simple rules.
ONE: Don't leave bonfire; or
brush fires unattended.
k * s
T\V1): Burn trash or rubbish in
hovered wire enclosures or in in-
cinerators.
l'If12El'.: Start open fires ONLY
ht the crater of large clearer( areas,
FOUR: Keep your fires shall by
adding only small :mounts of
trash at a time,
* * *
FIV E: Don't start grass or rub-
bish fires on a windy day.
* * *
SI X: Don't start bonfires late in
the day, or around mealtime, when
you can't be there to watch them.
:k' k
SEVEN: \ever use coal oil, gas-
oline, or any other inflammable
liquid- either to start a fire or to
help keep it going.
:s 5 *
EIGHT: .Always stand on the
upwind side of a fire. If your
clothing should happen to catch
fire, i)ON"1' START TO RUN.
Instead, roll on the ground and
keep your head upwind. A blanket,
sack or coat may be used to.

And now, something of interest—
% hope— to those of you who raise
chickens. Last year, out in the mid-
dle west, demonstration flock
owners were divided into two
groups: those that crowded chicks
by allowing less than half a square
foot per chick tip to • eight weeks
old, and those who allowed that
much or more.
* 5 :k
The crowded group averaged 15
per cent mortality; the uncrowded
group lost only 6 per cent. Cost
of production in the first group
was 391; cents a pound; in the
second it was only 31 cents. Com-
ment is unnecessary; the facts
speak for themselves.

11 your chicks show a tendency
to pile r,r crowd at night, your
brooder house may he to blame.
W. R. Whitfield, writing in Wal -
laces Farmer, has segue worth-
while continents and suggestions
regarding this.
* *
Improper temperature conditions
cause 0105t crowding•o- piling. The
trouble usually shows up when
chicks are from a few weeks old
tip to roosting time. And the dan-
gerous time of day is about sun-
down. or • when chicks no longer
can see to eat,
*
If all your brooder house win-
dows are in the south wall, you
are more likely to have •crowding
trouble. The old-fashioned string
• of south windows make that side
of the house cooler and keep it
lighted longer. The light encour-
Look, No Hands—Tony Rocca, one of the grunt -and -groan
set's more versatile performers, disdains the use of .coutinon-
place headlocks and toeholds, preferring to flatten his opponent
with an indelicate flying kick to the jaw. Victim of the unorth-
odox treatment in this snatch is Ali Baba, who would have clone
better with the aid of Itis Potty Thieves ---he lost the bout•,
ages chicks to collect near the
windows for late -in -the -day eating.
Then the rosiness causes theme to
pile up when darkness falls.
* k *
The trouble is worse under
warts - room brooder conditions—
when oil or coal brooders are used.
* * *
Crowding doesn't often happen
with electric brooding, probably
because lights usually are used with
that kind of brooder. The brooder
light seems to cut down on crowd-
ing, even when housing conditions
aren't so good.
* * *
Piling seldom is reported in a
brooder house which has the right
number of windows in the right
places. In one tip -to -date experi-
mental brooder house, for in-
stance, there is just one window
in each of three walls -east, south,
west. That means there is little
difference in either light or tem-
perature over the entire floor area.
:k * *
So chicks don't crowd to one
side to eat just before sundown.
They're scattered over the house
to finish their eating; so when
darkness comes they can sense the
hover's heat and find their way
back to a warm spot for their
night's sleep. ;
;k *
If you have piling -up trouble be-
cause your brooder house is old-
fashioned, youcanfix things up in
a hurry. Just remove all but one
window on the south side (and
cover roof windows), then add one
to both east and west walls. Your
house will be a lot safer for brood-
ing in any kind of weather.
•k * *
If you're suspicious of this idea,
try this test: Cover the extra south
windows with cardboard. If you
have four, five or six windows on
the south, cover the middle ones
and leave just those on each end
in use. If that improves the situa-
tion—as it probably will—then you
can go ahead with a mor perman-
ent rearrangement of windows.
Present Iowa State College re-
commendations call for not More
than one window for each 10 linear
feet of wall space in brooder houses.

A favorite occupation of base-

will finish on top or, at the most,
those that will be .first, second and
third.

All this serves as notice that we
are about to snake our annual Na-
tional and American League pre-
dictions, and if they come to you
a little bit late we apologize and
hope you'll be able to catch up on
any sleep you may have lost await-
ing them, \Ve shall not try and
pick more than one in each loop,
finding it hard enough to get two
into the correct slots, let alone a
dozen or more. (Last year we
picked Boston Red Sox and Brook-
lyn Dodgers, but had the first men-
tioned knocked off in a last-minute
photo finish, as some of you may
recall. * *
Lt the American League our
sentimental choice Would be either
the Philadelphia Athletics or the
Detroit Tigers; and when we first
began peering into our much bat-
tered crystal hall, it appeared as
- though the latter must get the
c;ill. But the more we studied the
respective strengths of the respec-
tice clubs, the more it looked as
though we would have to settle,
once again, for the Boston Red
Sox,
On paper they looked invincible,
in spite of the sneaking feeling that
some of their key nen show a slight
tendency to choke un when the
chips are down and the going
tough. In fact if they should happen
to' get away to a good start—
something they have failed to do
in the past seasons—they might

'Yes, as we said before, we had
definitely decided on Mr, McCar-

—we happened to read about some
doings which kicked our carefully

These doings concerned s gentle-

never gave u11. With characteristic
grace he headed for the bleacher
fence in left -center some thirty or
forty feet short of the 457 -foot
sign. Joe, going like the wind, his
back to home plate, stuck out his
gloved hand and made the catch."
k * .
That should have been enough
for a fugitive from the hospital,
but not for Joe. "The cheers, which
were deafening, had hardly died
away when DiMaggio ettlgie up to
the plate a minute or two later and,
after working Roe to a 3 -and -2
count, propelled a terrific drive
into the lower left field stands, The
- ball landed about twenty rows up
and, heedless to report the recep-
tion which accompanied his leisure

least equal to the one he got for
his incredible catch,"

Well, when we read those lines
—and we only wish we had been
there instead of trying to find
excuses for not starting to do a
little gardening—we splashed the
crystal ball, chucked out the tea -
leaves, and started over. We know
that the New York Yankees don't
figure to beat the Boston Red Sox;
or, for that natter, to notch more
than squeeze past Philadelphia
Athletics for third place. We know
that they pulled a miracle last
season, and that miracles, like
lightning, seldom strike twice in
the sante place. Still—they're our
pick. We're going to hunt up a
nice liberal bookie and invest all
our worldly wealth out the New
York Yankees to take the Ameri-
can League pennant. And if they
shouldn't chance to conte through—
well, we'll just charge the two dol-
lars tip to sentintcuh

What about the National League,
you say? Well, if the Brooklyn
Dodgers don't win by at least ten
to fifteen games, there just isn't
any justice. They should outclass
all the others by so much that tete
race alight be all over by July the
Fourth, Philadelphia Phils .might
be second, and St. Louis Cardinals
are third. But the Dodgers appear

Lost Liberty
Aitch human suffering is due to
the failure of early diagnosis—arid
this is no less true in economics
and politics than in medicine. Early
symptoms often go unheeded. They
may pass; they niay mean any one
of many things; they do not sub-
stantially impair—these are typical
human reactions to. early warnings.
But it is a fact that for countless
millions of people, liberty has been -
Iost—lost for the rest of their lives
and perhaps for the lives of their
children. These people have often
failed to recognize the early symp-
toms. The promises of statism, of
more government intervention, of
more planning, are alluring.
The• struggle for security through
goverment action is a struggle to
avoid risks and uncertainties. But
government eau make our lives free
from rislc only if it has the power
and authority to control our ac
tions. With the responsibility we
impose upon government mast go
the power to implement that re-
sponsibility. 'I"ltis is elemental.
The struggle between controlisnt
and socialists on the one hand, and
individualism and liberalism on the
other, is one, in which each of us
must snake his individual choice --a
choice which, fortunately, is still
oars to make,
