INCUBATION.

Growth Of the Germ From the First
Day TO the Twenty-first.
After three hours OF incubation the
embryo can readily be seen with a
glass. After twelve hours the biasto-
derm has begun to enlarge and be-
comes an oval in outline. After twen-
ty-four hours the head can be seen
above the level Of the blastoderm. At
an early hour the second day the tan
can be seen and theifirst rudiments OF
the heart, but no pulsation can be seen
till the fortieth hour. The end Of the
second day the heart throws blood to
different sections Of the body. The
third day the circulation OF the blood
is quite vigorous and blood vessels are
formed, and a considerable decrease
in the white Of the egg is noticed on
the fourth day. The embryo grows
very rapidly now, and the white Is
gradually diminishing. and in artificial
incubation overheating at this time is
more disastrous than at, any subse-
quent period The legs bgin to show

BUSINESS woMAN'S LUNCH.

At Noon She Seldom Eats Wholesome
or Sufficient Food.
A business woman's lunch-of what
does it usually consist7 If you live in
town where many women are en-
ployed just stroll into one OF the popu-
lar restaurants patronized by them.
You will be surprised when you hear
some Of the orders.
For instance. a very stout girl with
picture hat Of fiber braid and flut-
tering flowers viii ask for a sardine
sandwich and an apple dumping. This
will be washed down with a glass OF
water, for which the restaurant ex-
acts no charge. A fragile maiden on
the other side Of the table will call for
bread pudding and gingerbread. An
other asks for apple pie aud ice cream.
Two damsels Of more generous appe-
tite will order an opulent lunch OF FISH
cakes, French fried potatoes and a
custard apiece. The three fish cakes
are divided between them; so is the
small dish OF potatoes. The girl next
to them, who Is lunching on ice cream
and a small slab Of raisin cake. eyes
them hungrily. Rolls and coffee are
the portion Of dyspeptic looking wo-
man at the end of the table. Two
gorgeous fashion plates who have just
come in call for a plate OF ice cream
and an apple dumping. They divide
the order, eating the dumping FIRST.
Dumplings are popular with the girl
luncher because they so successfully
ward OF the pangs Of hunger.

CYCLE OFFICERS
DO GOOD WORK

This is an age of speed, TO which thu
automobile adds the finishing touch.
yet it is through the modest bicycle
and the motorcycle that speed maniacs
are now controlled. and taught due re-
spect for the law.
That wheel-mcunted officers furnish
the solution of a momsntous problem,
was slowly grasped by the police
authorities. but the lesson has been
learned very thoroughly. Wheel
squads. which were dying out few
years ago. are being formed all OF er
the country. and those already organ
lied are held in such high favor that
the tendency is to increase the size of
such details. as rapidly as possible.
Inquiries made at police headquart-
ers in the one hundred largest cities
of the United States. show that more
than half of them have or viii have
wheel squads at once, Wilmington be-
ing in line with two motorcycle oill-
GERS.
Chief Of Police Black claims that his
motorcycle men 90 vastly better work
in enforcing speed laws than foot mon
can, and that their presence has much
to do with checking violations of the
speed ordinance.

GREAT DEMAND
FOR XMAS STAMPS

Demand has been so great FOR the Red
Cross Christmas stamps In this city that
the society has ordered 100000 mors OF
the cheory stickers. The Red Cross here
has been overwhelmed by demands for
the stamps. not alone from Wilmington,
but from towns IN Pennsylvania and New
Jersey.
Tho craze FOR the stamps has extended
10 Philadelphia, and All the department
stores have put them on sale, while one
newspaper during the last two DAYS has
ordered 5000. The Delaware branch re-
ceives all the money from the sale Of the
stamps IN Philadelphia and Delaware, but
stamps sold in other places are for the
Red Cross branches In such places.
The Red Cross hero has put up the
stamps IN envelopes OF ten and twenty
FIVE stamps as it Is IN such amounts
that they are ordered generally.

Many people are not aware that
chickens can be safely shipped imme-
diately after being hatched. Practical
poultrymen have discovered that this
is an age when chickens can be most
safely shipped. owing somewhat to the
fact that chickens do not require food
or drink from twenty-four TO sixty
hours after being hatched. Many little
chickens are destroyed by being fed
soon after being hatched through the
ignorance Of the owners. Green's
