The cage system is no substi-
tie for good business judgment
and poultry knowledge. The in-

phasizes the need for keeping
the cages full at all times. This
pesents added problems in rear-

be recognized that over a period

Love Makes The
World Go Wrong
When Pierre Lebel tell in love
he showered his girl friend with
loving kisses - and crisp new
5,000 -franc (S.5) notes.
She would find them hidden
among the handkerchiefs and
nylons in her little. drawer or
stuffed in the fingers of the
Moves he often gave her as a
present,
For Pierre loved Lucille Mar-
tin with true Parisian fervour,
Whenever she wanted to go
shopping on the boulevards he
pressed new notes into her hand
and Lucille naturally rewarded
such generosity w 1 t h loving
kisses.
Pierre was a commercial ar-
tist -who worked hard for his
living - and loving. Often he
shut himself away in his studio
for long hours, but he always
seemed to have plenty of money.
-What Lucille didn't know was
that he was making his own.
Pierre had .been living on
home-made money for years. I'Ie
printed and retouched the notes
with such skill that they were
always passed with ease. But,
with sensible caution, this ace
forger never printed more than
he needed to pay his way and
enable him to study the violin
- until he fell in love.
• The more loving she was, the
mo: , Pierre wanted to shower
Lucille with cash -so he stepped
up production. I'Ie imagined that
after a shopping spree Lucille
would be content, but Pierre
found that he had to reckon with
a woman's touch!
Working - or forging. - too
fast, he soon made mistakes. One
day he tried to pay a milliner
with a freshly printed note which
smudged, Now Pierre' Leber and
his girl friend are serving jail
sentences.
Cupid and the crook some.
' les go hand in hand. It's
startling how frequently crimin-
als are brought to book by Jove.
Freddy Beckett, one of the great-
est forgers in the game, didn't
want the police to break up the.
sw et domesticity of his happy
home. When trying to pass a
forged note, he always made
sure. that he carried no marks
of identity,
His shit bore • rto tailor's tabs

his wife should do the laundry.
at home, He carried, no tell-tale
notebool. or motoring license,
Even if caught changing a forged
note. Beckett reasoned, he would
receive only -, a ^'comparatively
tight sentence, for his identity
an" therefore his lifetime of
force-..' ,'-,,,i-5''f tin nroved,
But Khats where he tripped
up. Discontented with the home -
washed grey look of his white
shirts, his wife secretly sent
them to the laundry. Though she
insisted the shirts should bear
no laundry marks, the launder-
ers put deft "unseen" marks in-
side the sleeve,
When Beckert was caught, the
laundry mark revealed his iden-
tity, his address - and the forg-
er's equipment in a workshop
where his loving wife imagined
he practised his hobbies,
Love and kisses often get or-
dinary folk into trouble with the
law, too.
. Two laughing lovers who ex-
changed quick kisses on a round-
about at a Bengal fair were re-
cently jailed
e-cently'jailed for six weeks.
Although admitting their guilt,
they appealed against the sen-
tence. But the judge refused to
change his verdict.
"Kissing in public is indecent!"
he solemnly reminded them
,Japanese sweethearts 0 a n' t

tures, either, Even in these en-
lightened times, many orientals
are prudish about spooning. And
twilight caresses are banned,
Municipal authorities maintain
that wooing leads to kisses, and
kissing leads to trouble. So, to
prevent public scandal, film pa•
trans are segregated into well-
defined groups.
Thus, when a teen-age Jap es-
corts his favourite heart-throb
to the movies, they have to part
at the paybox. Then they are
conducted to seats on opposite
sides of the gangway.
And they are not allowed to
join up again till the show is
ended.
All over the world, kisses of-
ten result in unforeseen compli-
cations.
A few weeks ago, at Bordeaux
in France, the fire brigade an-
swered a midnight call to rescue
a plump young corporal who was
wedged in a chimney.
He had climbed over the roof-
tops by moonlight and descended
the wrong chimney while trying
to enter his girl friend's home,
"What were you doing + up
there?" inquired a gendarme
The soldier blushed,
"I intended to claim my usual
good -night kiss," the explained
sheepishly, "This she denied me
after we quarrelled."
Odd though it may sound,
kissing one's husband provided
grounds for divorce,
John Fulton, of Hartford, Con-
necticut, obtained release from
his highly emotional wife be•
cause she insisted on frequent
kisses, full on the mouth, even
after she had been kissing her
tame white rat. -
John was not the only young
husband . who has discovered
that affection for animals can
disturb the tranquility of wed-
lock.
edlock. A divorce judge once nod-
ded sympathetically when an
English railway clerk complain-
ed that he had been ordered to
kiss' his nagging wife, his sister-
in-law, and finally their ginger
cat every time he returned from
work. -
Many adventurous individuals
have found that stealing kisses
is an expensive and perilous
pastime.
On New Year's Eve, Mrs. Ol-
ga Ferdens, gazing through the
window of her N't. York flat;
spotted a handtibeee constable
on his beat. And her secret
yearning proved too much for
her,
With a cry of joy, she tot-
tered downstairs ors her high -
heeled shoes, flung her arms
round the astonished officer and
kissed him passionately.
"I'd been wanting to do that
for a whole year," she told the
judge with evident satisfaction.
"Disgraceful!" he commented
"Two dollars fine."
"Gee! It was sure worth it!"
chuckled the delighted defen-
dant.
Another American w 11 n s e
thrilling conquests landed him
in the dock was a gay young
fellow from New Jersey. He
had a weakness for hissing
pretty girls whom he encoun-
tered on the pavement.
But during one of his excur-
sions, he was arrested and lock-
ed in a cell.
Later, in court, the judge gave
him a stern lecture on morality.
"And I sentence you to kiss
nobody except your wife dur-
ing the next twelve months."
the judge concluded severer-.

Souvenir Collectors On The Rampage
By TOM A. CULLEN
NEA Staff Correspondent
London - Now that most of
the 203,000 American tourists
who flooded London this sum-
mer have left for home, Lond-
oners are busy counting the
silverware.
Not that an American would
take anything, mind you. Still,
there's no harm in checking to
see that London Bridge is intact,
Nelson's Column nailed down
and Big Ben in its tower at
Westminster Palace.
It's the Yankee souvenir -hunt-
ing mania that baffles Britons.
Americans dropped nearly $100.-
000,000 here this summer, and
a good part of it went for buy-
ing mementoes that ranged from
Queen Anne thimbles to maroon-
colored, pre -1918 taxicabs.
There was the woman from
Winthrop, Me., who tried to }guy
the roof of a. thatched cottage.
In the end she settled for 30 tons
of Norfolk reed, which is being
shipped to the U.S., and now two
professional thatchers from
North Walsham are on their way
to Maine to make sure the roof
gets a prone' crew -cul, -
* * *
And then there is Maj. Arthur
Kieling, lately of the U.S, Air
Force at Burtonwood. To his
home in Welikeit, Mich., the
major tools a lamp -post, six Lon-
don bobbies' helmets, 18 old
clocks and a storm lanmp.
The 12 -foot, green -painted gas
lamp standard he' bought for $3
for his cocker spaniel, Midnight.
"Now lvfidnight will have a real
lamp -post just like other dogs,"
says the major, explaining that
Wetikeit's lights are strung on
wooden poles. '
The policemen's helmets? The
major thinks he may plant them
with flowers and hang them on
Midnight's lamp -post.
Other things' about Americans
puzzle the British, '
Are all American judges, for
example, as .rabid fans of Sher-
lock Holmes as Judge John
Biggs, of the U.S. Court of Ap-
peals? Nd sooner did Judge
Biggs land in England to attend
a conference of 400 criminolo-
gists than he was off across
Dartmoor in search of the Hound
of the Baskervilles,
* * *
And is it usual for a dramatic
critic to come all the way from
Long Island, N.Y., in an effort
to prove that Shakespeare's
plays were written by Christo-
pher Marlowe?
American critic Calvin Hoff-
man has been hanging around
Chiselhurst, Kent, al] summer
waiting for permission to dig up
a 300 -year-old tomb. He thinks
the tomb, that of Marlowe's pa-
tron, may contain evidence to
support his theory.
Thanks to the Yanks, the Brit-
ish are now getting a new insight
to their own history. No English-
man, for example, - ever thought
of St. James' Square, London,
as other than the home of the
world's most stuffy clubs-cer-
, tainly not the stamping -ground
of floosies.
But listen to this bit of potted
history from the U.K. Eagle,
magazine of the U.S. Air Force
in Britain:
"St. James' is the home of a
former Duchess of Richmond.
King Charles II had long had his
eye on this pretty filly . . . She
died in 1702, a rich and not un-
happy woman whose virtue is
outstanding in an era of rakes
and floosies. Maybe as you walk
through St. James' Square one
of these evenings you might
meet her ghost -who knows?"
Who knows, indeed?
AMERICAN TOURISTS ON THE PROWL -Here they're 'looking
over the courtyard :at Eton, the famous public school. One
at right is taking notes; others take a baffling amount of sou-
venirs,
