Pedigree breeding is the keeping Of
breeding records which will enable the
poultryman to develop the exact lineage
or genealogy of his birds. Such a record
of breeding enables him tn carefully and
consistently breed for definite desirable
characteristics by the use of birds in the
mating pens which are prepotcnt in regard
to the desired characters due to many
years of selection for a definite purpose.

OTHER BILLS ENOUGH
FOR THIS SESSION
So President Wilson lndi-
Gates to Congress-Clay-
ton Bill Spoiled

Washington, Aug. 29.-President Will
son has indicated that there would be no
insistence upon passage at this session
of Congress of the bill authorizing the
interstate commerce commission to reg
ulate the issuance of railroad securities.
In Congress this was taken as an as
surance that the measure would not be
considered further at this time, admin
istration leaders contenting themselves
with the federal trade commission bill
and Clayton bill to supplement the Sher-
man law to complete the antitrust leg
islative programme.
For several weeks prominent admin
istration senators have been considering
the advisability of dropping the railroad
securities bill for the present. Many
of them feel that enactment of such a
law Just now would require a too rig
orous readiustment of conditions and
that such readjustments would further
disturb business, which is already per-
turbed by the European war.
A Democratic caucus probably will be
held soon to revise the legislative pro-
gramme. With railroad securities leg
islation eliminated. it is predicted, con-
ferees on the trust legislation could COM
plete their work in two weeks, and fur
Their war emergency legislation, inelud-
ing a revenue measure, could be disposed
of in a month.
BY Oct. / the necessary business OF
Congress could be concluded. Whether
there would be adjournment then would
depend upon conditions resultant upon
the European confict. Administration
senators entrusted with the Clayton bill
were accused yesterday of emasculat-
ing the measure and causing great re-
ioicing among trust magnates. Senator
Clapp declared that when trust barons
viewed the process they would think
the measure had beer treated in Sun
day school conference instead Of a leg
islative body"
The attack followed adoption Of
amendments striking out provisions for
Jail sentences for yiolators Of prohibi-
lions against holding companies and
against purchases of supplies Of railroads
from corporations with common drec-
tors or officials Members 81 the iu-
dietary committee explained that the
of these sections were in
definite, and that it was best to allow
the trade commission to enforce its pro-
visions by injunctions. They also urged
that. under another section. personal
guilt was fastened upon officers of a
corporation violating the law Senator
Clapp declared the effective language Of
the House had been stricken out and
language put in that limited the per-
sonal guilt to provisions OF the Sherman
anti trust law that really provides for
criminal punishment. He wanted the
personal guilt section extended to the
of the Clayton antitrust bill
but was defeated by 81 to is.

ment and cooking that meets all of
mans physical, mental, and moral needs
has arrived. and women should welcome
it gladly, The carrying out OF the prin-
ciples of science in woman's work of
home making and home keeping elevates
her work beyond any faint of drudgery
or unhappiness.
When women understand domestic sci
ence and apply it intelligently they will
have solved many OF the social problems
troubling the world to-day.
An idea of true values is gained
through study of this practical sci
ence. 1t gives woman the sort OF
knowledge that enables her to lift her
head above public opinion and find her
greatest pleasure in keeping just the sort
of establishment she can easily afford
regardless of what her neighbors do and
say. Efficiency methods are quite as
necessary in housekeeping as in the bus
mess world and the wise housekeeper
will gladly take advantage of any knowl-
edge or method or appliance which will
enable her to do all of her work better
and at the same time more easily. Wom
en- are going into the business of MAX
ing and keeping a home with more in
tclligent thought and scientific knows
edge than was once employed in this
work and are coming to look upon house
work as a real business and cooking as
a science worthy OF any woman's best
effort
More women are doing their own
homework than formerly and there are
q number OF reasons for this. One is
that many OF the class from which the
women Of the past generation secured
their 'hired help" are now employed in
the larger housekeeping which is done in
laundries, and bakeries, and
and efficient servants are ex-
ceedingly scarce.
Another reason for women doing their
own homework is the present high cost
Of living. | recently heard of man who
said it was extremely difficult with the
high prices, to feed nine chill
dren. His friend said, "Why / thought
YOU had only two children" q have
replied the man, "but my cook has sew
en-"
Extravagant methods in the kitchen,
where the servant is allowed full sway
are no longer permissible nor considered
desirable. Even women of large means
have interested themselves in household
economies to the extent that they believe
their homes should be run upon as eco
nomical a basis as is their husbands
business.

and there is every reason TO believe that
the school scheduled for Barre next week
will be the most interesting event Of the
season and of incalculable benefit to the
housewives who attend.
Miss Hanko will demonstrate how TO
prepare everything from entrees to des-
serts, how to cook meats and vegetables,
how TO make dainty salads, good bread,
wholesome pie and economical cake. All
of the wonderful dishes prepared by this
skilled culinary artist will be served to
her guests in the form of a dainty lunch
con every afternoon before the close OF
the school Miss Hanko will teach how
to make cakes without butter, how to
keep cakes from falling and burning and
how to test them She will teach the
ladies who make up her cookery classes
how to make a good loaf of bread and
how TO roast chicken in the fireless
cooker. She will discuss practical econ
omy, and demonstrate economical cook
ing
The school will open on Monday after
noon at 2:3O A pleasing musical pro-
gram will precede each session. Women
will do well to bring notebooks and PEN
ellis in order that none of the valuable
information Miss Hanko gives out from
day to day is lost.
\ Mothers are urged to bring their
in order that they may gain
from Miss Hanko some practical wisdom
in regard to actual housekeeping and
learn from her what a very pleasant oc-
cupation housekeeping can be made when
one puts intelligent thought into its ex-
ecution. Daughters are advised to urge
their mothers to attend in order that
they may find out through Miss Hanko's
lectures and cookery demonstrations
something of the value of domestic sci
ence training for young women and a
little domestic science knowledgefor ex-
perienced housekeepers. No woman in
county who is interested in
any aspect of the food question whether
She be her own cook or merely superin-
tends the preparation Of the family
meals, should fail TO take advantage Of
this splendid opportunity and all are in
yited TO hear Miss Hanko every after
noon next week in Rowland hall.
On Monday she win lecture on "The

Care in Use of Sandpaper.

Few non professional woodworkers or
houseworkers realize that skill and judg-
ment are required in the use of sand
paper II should be used only to give
the finishing touches; never until all of
been finished Otherwise the fine parti-
cles of sand forced into the grain of the
wood will quickly destroy the keen edge
of any tool that may afterward be used,
says the Youths Companion.
Sandpaper should be torn in halves
and short way of paper; one of the
pieces may then be doubled and folded
over One side and two edges of a block
of wood about seyen-eights of an inch by
three inches by four inches. That will
enable you to grasp the sandpaper and
the block firmly.
In sandpapering a straight surface,
always use block; for small inside cor
ners. like fllets of holdings, use sharp
cornered block
1t is important that the fneness OF
the sandpaper should be such as is
adapted to the work in hand. 1t is grad
ed by numbers. beginning with No. 90,
and ranging to No. 3. The finest, 90, is
used chiefly to rub down shellac or var
nish between coats; Nos. 0 and y may
be used upon mahogany and other close
grained fancy woods, but No. J is fine
enough for ordinary purposes. No. y
is the grade most commonly used. Nos.

American and Foreign Fashions.

Why should not our American women

Why should we not create our own
frocks, instead OF following blindly these
inartistic and suggestive fashions, which

London, July 22.-Premier Asquith
today accepted full responsibility for
the speech delivered by King George
yesterday in addressing the opening
conference Of leaders of parliament
called by him in an effort to reach
an agreement as to the home rule
amendments.
A storm of protest followed the
reference to the ''cry of civil war;
uttered by the king, it being accepted
as an indication of his intentions to
support the Unionists and overstep-
ping his bounds in taking sides on
political issue.
In response to questions put to him
