NERVOUS HENS SPOIL MATCHES:
GOOD MOTHERS ARE CLUMSY

Breeds of chickens are divided into
sitters and nonsitters. Nonsitters
include all the light, nervous breeds
known as egg-type breeds, of which
Leghorns are representative. These
breeds are too easily frightened, are
not reliable enough and are too close
feathered for setting. Large breeds
like Brahma and Cochin although
they make good mothers, are often
too heavy and clumsy and they break
the eggs.
The best sitters, according to au-
thorities at the Pennsylvania State
College School of Agriculture and En-
pertinent Station, are those found on
the farm, such as Wyandottes. Ply
mouth Rocks, Rhode Island Reds and
Orpingtons.
The first step in setting a hen is to
remove her to the brooding house at
night, where she should be placed
upon several infertile or glass eggs
type of nest from fourteen to sixteen
inches square, from which the hen
may be released for a period each day
is preferable. A sod two to three
inches thick placed grass-side down
in the nest. will supply moisture dur
ing the hatch. The sod should be
covered with a base of fine straw un-
der layer of coarser straw.
To insure freedom from lice a hen
should be busted with a good powder
before she is set. and at intervals of 5
TO days thereafter. An odd numb
OF eggs from to 15 according to the
size of the hen, will fit into the nest
better than an even number.
The Pennsylvania Station recon-
mends testing at the end of the first
week to remove the infertile eggs, as
one rotten egg may spoil the whole
setting. The sitting hen should be
grain.

THE RELIGIOUS INSTINCT IN
INDIA

/ said to n Hindu professor who sat
by me, What is the reason for this
unaccountable feeling which seems to
be sweeping the convictions of these
college men?"
In reply, he explained to me that
the educated men of India, in their
awakening to new responsibility for
individual, social and political re-
form, were grasping, with almost
feverish zeal, every influence which
had helped to shape the progressive
civilizations of the West. Further
more, he added: "You must remem-
ber that the students of India have in
herited religious consciousness.
They know the Bible as thoroughly, If
not more thoroughly, than any sacred
book of Hinduism. They need onlv
leadership to make this movement for
the intelligent study Of the English
Bible one of the most popular and
profitable branches of Indian educa-
ton. on."-Correspondence of The Chris

THE LATEST STYLE IN HAND
CUFFS

Lawbreakers may be nipped in the
bud most effectively by the police
nippers invented by a Connecticut
man. The police nippers or leaders
as they are sometimes y called, are
clasped about the wrist or even the
ankles of the arrested man.
The advantage of the new nippers
Is not alone in their effectiveness but
also in the fact that they may be
quickly and easily operated with one
hand. The closing of the hand about
the handle portions of the nippers
causes the jaws to close. These are
pivotally connected by opposed ex-
tending arms with a sliding tubular
member attached to the T-shaped in
ner handle. This tubular member
slides on a basic rod to which the
outer T-shaped handle is mounted. II
takes but an instant to clasp the
nippers on the wrist of an offender

HIGH COST OF
PAPER BLAMED
ON MUNITIONS
Printers Say War Supply Men
Are Buying Up All
Materials

Pittsburgh, March 16.-That certain
munition manufacturers were purchas-
ing all the available rags in this coun-
try and Europe at an advance of 2 and
3 cents pound and converting them
into guncotton for the use of the allied
armies in the present war, which has
caused an advance in the price OF
paper and chemicals used in the print
ing trade. was discussed at a meeting
OF the master printers of Western
pennsylvania held at the Monongahela
House recently.
No definite action was taken, but
the meeting will lead to further ses-
slons in the near future, officials said.
Held All Over Country
The meeting was one of a number
being held throughout the country for
considering the excessive consumption
OF paper and the use of rag stock by
manufacturers of war munitions.
According to Charles F. Ward. a
member of the executive committee of
the National Association of Printers,
certain munition manufacturers deny
that rags are used, but the enormous
increase in price cannot be accounted
for in any other way. Mr.. Ward said
that positive proof had been found
that rags and old paper were being
converted into munition use. Mr..
Ward also said that the prices had
advanced so unexpectedly that at this
time the master printers could not
quote price in the morning and be
assured that the profits on the work
would not be absorbed by an advance
later in the day.
Hundred Beaters in Use
Mr.. Ward said that it had been dis
covered that a certain firm, which is
manufacturing war munitions, recently
had installed 100 paper beaters in q
plant in an eastern city. They are
used to beat the rags and old paper
into pulp. In the past, Mr.. Ward
stated, plant with 10 paper beaters
was considered as large as could pos
sibly be used. These paper beaters,
Mr.. Ward asserted, were installed at
