SEPARATION OF SEXES
 URGE SCHOOL HEADS
Too Much Attention To Love Affairs May Bring Radical
 Changes.

! LOS ANGELES. Dec 2S.-Firmly convinced that many girls and boys in lhigh school pay more attention to each other than. their studies, members of the board of education have started a campaign for the erection of girls | high school to cost about S1s0,0o0 and which is to be paid for by a bond issue.
 We are not preparing to segresate : the sexes in the high school for moral reasons. but because we think that stu dy will be better prosecuted if the girls and boys are ill separate build ings," said Dr. L. P. Crutcher, presi- dent of the board
 We have given the subject careful thought. and will go ahead with the preliminary plans and will soon ask the city commission to call an election to erect this building and to finance much-needed additions to existing structures.
 Tho the school officials forbid dances in the high school, and instructors de nounce the donning Of silk socks and loud ties by giddy youths and frown on powder puffs. rouge and low neeked waists worn by the girls, the course of true love runs smooth in the high school as in any other building in the city.
 Trysts in the corridors follow few words in assembly and classrooms and induce meetings in the moonlight and elopements to Sant Fe in some cases. With their minds on their sweethearts they funk in the classroom and spend little time in study at home.
 The voters refused to sanction the erection Of two intermediate schools a few months ago. but pr. Crutcher thinks that the time is now ripe to ask money to build a girls high school Several of the pastors have urg ed such an institution. and it is be- lived that the pulpit will assist in car rying the election.

CAMPAIGN BANNERS.
Making the Big Party Emblems That Stretch Across the Street

One of the features of every great political campaign. especially in the large cities. is the showing made by the big party banners stretched across the streets or avenues. The services Of twelve men are required to produce one of these big campaign banners
 Two men prepare the strips on which the lettering is done. Two more look after the lettering of these strips, the painting of the names of clubs or asso- citations for the portraits and the offices for which the nominees are to contend.
 Two men work on the centerpieces. generally consisting of an eagle and a shield. One man deyotes himself to the special portraits, and the others as semble the various parts, sew the strips together and give the finishing touches to the banner.
 The portrait man" scorns to do any other work than the main portrait. The rest he calls, filling in" By work ing on the same faces day after day this artist becomes so skillful that be can paint the portrait of a candidate (to use the words of one painter) "in the dark" and do it as true to life as the standard of the campaign banner industry requires.-Los Angeles Times.

AVOID DRAFTS IN HEN HOUSE
Attention Given at Right Time Will
Prevent Roup and Other Trou-
bles-Leave Window Open.

Be sure that the house is tight on
three sides and that there is no chance
for draft to strike the hens. If hens
roost or are placed in draft during
the fall and winter, colds are sure to
develop, which may result in roup and
other troubles.
The south side, or front, of the poul-
try house may be left comparatively
open, but should be under control, SO
that the openings may be closed gradu-
ally as the weather becomes cold.
Have muslin curtains in the front
Of the house, or leave a window partly
open even on the coolest nights, to al
low some ventilation in the house.
Fowls will stand considerable cold
air. provided it is dry, and ventilation
will keep the air thoroughly dry in the

densed form simple apparatus is now
used on many farms. A piece of 4 or
5-inch tin tubing, or 10 inches long
and having shiny inner surface, is
fastened to any kind of a stand
ard. Holes are made around the
lower rim for ventilation. The top is
covered with a fiat piece of tin, amply
perforated to allow air circulation and
permit the candle to burn without
smoking. A hole slightly smaller in
diameter than the circumference of an
egg is made about three-quarters the
way up the cylinder. Short tubing of
the same diameter may or may not be
soldered at this opening to conduct the
rays out to the egg.
A large candle is placed inside the
cylinder on firm, spring holder, the
spring of which If adjusted by expert
ment, SO that the candle rises as it be-
comes of lighter weight in burning.
The purpose is to have the body of the
flame always opposite the aperture.
The room or closet in which this ap-
paratus is used is darkened and the
contents of the egg show quite plainly
when the egg covers the opening.
Where available, an electric light bulb
is used instead of a candle, and
better results are obtained from it's
more powerful rays. Although many
defects are visible through the can
ding machine, farmers have found the
recognition of some of the more COM
mon to be great advantage. Since
Gambling investigation work has been
independently conducted in several
parts of the country, slight eonfu-
sion of terms has arisen, due to va
rious naming of the defects. The terms
used here are those in most common
usage, but the important consideration
is not what the defect is called, but
what 1t is.

apparatus in operation. Figs. and 2
