NO NEED FOR STORING EGGS

It is not necessary to start with the incubator filled with eggs. They may be placed in the machine in units or about | 20. or whatever number is thought Will produce the correct units for the hens after the infertle eggs and dead germs have been removed. Each unit, of course, should be marked to distinguish it from 1 the others. This practice offers an ad- vantage to the poultryman having small 1 flock, inasmuch as he can incubate a ! large number of eggs, starting them when they are fresh, without holding them un- 1 til he has enough to fill up the machine. l Still another advantage of this method I. is conceded that the greatest losses l ir artificial incubation are attributed to | chicks which are almost fully developed dying in the shell. The correct amount | of moisture, evaporation and ventilation are all essential to successful incubation,
 and they are all very closely allied. A | circulation of fresh air is necessary vs 1 the embryo would be without sufficient l oxygen. On the other hand, excessive ventilation will cause undue evaporation, 1 unless the moisture is restored in some way. These elements are important at | the beginning of hatch, but they seem ] to take care of themselves more or less | automatically for the first week or 10 days; in the last week, and especially the last few days, they should receive 1 very careful attention.
 IT. the natural process of incubation the | hens body provides the correct conol- l tions Air circulates about the hens feathers, yet the heat from her body l throws off sufficient moisture to prevent 1 excessive evapora ton. Moreover. this l moisture is charged with carbon dioxide, which causes the shell of the egg to dis integrate. Oxygen is needed in abun- | dance, but the value of carbonic acid
 must not be overlooked When chicks | fully formed are found dead in the shell, l it lis pretty safe to assume they were unable to break through because the shell had not been sufficiently disntegrated. and in consequence they died from ex- haustion. Thus, it will be seen, a com bination of the virtues of artificial and
 natural incubation is worthy of ones l lnn idor tif,,

NOTHING A YEAR"


 By Charles Belmont Davis. Harper Brothers, publishers, New York
 Of the varied social types that Amer ica has evolved and is still evolving none is more engaging in it's interest than that of the girl who, with a sort of cold masculine judgment appraises the potency of her feminine charms, and with no other resource determines to achieve for herself a high rung on the social ladder, with it's correlatives of freedom, wealth. and pleasure. It is in a sense "a mans job" that Barbara Clyde undertakes, in Charles Belmont Davis new novel. Nothing a Year" Alone in the world. except for a some what alienated mother, who drags out a wearied existence by keeping boarding house in the less fashionable quarters of a Virginia health resort, Barbara graps at the chance which marriage offers her to lift herself out of an obscure, hum drum existence. Her beauty and her charm have already made their appeal to local swains but Barbara, biding her time, makes conquest of a young New Yorker of exceptional social position,
 
 boarding house has a memorable gala day when Barbara marries Lister, and the scene shifts to the metropolis which Barbara's S ambition has marked for her ultimate triumph.
 It is not to be denied that In Barbara is manifest from the outset a certain hardness of fiber, or rather of resolve, but her marriage is not merely calcu lated step upward. While it cannot be said that Barbara loves Lister, she nevertheless exhibits splendid loyalty to him, and it is at the husbands door that the fault of the first breach between them must be laid. The germ of the difficulty lies in the opposing views which Lister and Barbara hold as to the part she wishes to take in their mutual advance ment and welfare. Lister, who is a likeable, straightforward fellow, shows a hot jealousy of the friends his wife makes among the men of his set. But it is upon precisely these men that Bar bara's plans for establishing herself and her none-too-resourceful husband are founded. clash inevitably follows
 The story thenceforth teens with dra- matic situations of intense interest. The problem is a deep and human one, and the readers sympathies are divided equally between Barbara and Lister as they are swirled in the whirlpool of the gay, reckless, extravagant life of the me tropolis-and are all but drawn under. The author shows unusual fertility Of invention in keeping his story moving from one episode to another, and at the same time exhibits the rarer art of mak- ing his characters truly live.

PREPAREDNESS IN ALL LINES IS URGED FOR U. s.
 BY FRANK A. VANDERBILT

Kansas City, Sept. 28-"If ever a people should pause, if they ever should loCk abroad and profit by the experiences of others, should ocnl- prehend their national dangers, in the light of the terrible realities that are being enacted before their eyes in other nations, it is now, and we are that people,"
 In those words Frank A. Wand erlip, of New York, addressing the annual convention of the American Bankers Association here today, warned his hearers they should not take too easily the present great wealth of this country that seemed dangerously likely to submerge us in our own prosperity Rather, he said, with an opportunity, such as no country ever had to lay the sure foundations of great future." we must not be content upon dividing the proceeds of present prosperity that we fail to safeguard it's permanence.
 "In a word," said MT. Vander1ip, T believe the greatest need of the make other matters inconsequential in the need of universal military, industrial and economic preparedness"
 MT. Vanderlip said he believed the Federal Reserve Act embodied sound fundamental principles, the free working of which, however, has been entangled and hampered in it's incep- ton of Political considerations and administrative attitude"

Woman Who Punched
 Fireman, In Court

Mrs. Margaret Carty, of 453 Lafay- cite street, who, it is alleged, punched Driver Henry Mailman, of Engine company No. g, in the eye a week ago, appeared in the local court to an- swer to a charge of assault this morn+ ing, but the case was continued until Oct. 8 at the request of her coun- sel, Attorney A. J. Merritt.
 It is alleged that for some time Mrs. Carty has had difficulties with the men at the engine station and that she berated the firemen for al- lowing a milk man to steal her gate, in their presence.
 Kallman was former roomer at her house. According to her counsel, i'll feeling has existed between the pair. She gave Kallman a receipt for his room rent the week he left, writing something to the effect that he kept his room in an unclean con- dition.
 A week ago, Kallman maintains, he was standing in Lafayette street, waiting for his wife, when Mrs. Car ty approached him and exclaimed, ''Who are you watching?" punching him in the eye at the same time. The warrant for her arrest was issued yes- terday.

HIGH PRICE OF
 FLOUR WORRIES
 MASTER BAKERS
Association Is Formed to Meet Emergency-Hope to
 Practice Economies

Bridgeport bakers are to form an with the National Master Bakers as sociation. Tentative meetings already have been held and an attempt at or ganization will be made tonight with every probability that the 75 or 80 bakeries in this city will become mem- bers.
 Walter Travis, of the Bridgeport Baking Co.,, who has been named sec retarV to aid in the organization of the local interests, declares that the step is made necessary because of the rapidly advancing price of all com- modities and the urgency of general economical measures by bakeries in order to avoid raising the price of the bread loaf in this city.
 The Dexter Baking Co.,, of Spring field, Mass, which for a number of years has competed with local in dustry, has fully withdrawn from the field of competition, the last shipment being made to this city on Tuesday.
 With the price of flour in carload lots fixed today at s9.10 per barrel, and sugar and lard advanced from 75 to 100 per cent. more in price than at this time last year, bakers hero have decided that the price must be raised, the loaf lessened in weight or all returns of stale bread from the retail dealers denied.
 Preli iminary inquiry among grocers and retail shops has disclosed the fact that arrangements may be made with this class of dealer which will permit the bakeries to continue the present size of loaf at the standard price.
 It is generally believed by the bakeries of this city that with con- tinued increase of price of flour. lard and sugar the principal ingredients it will eventually be necessary to make the loaves shorter in size and weight. By various economical methods that can be inaugurated under an associa- ton the ultimate action may be fore stalled until wheat conditions inn prove. /
 Inquiry into the situation which has placed four at it's present price is said to disclose that speculation has not been practised to any extent in this instance but that the price is due en- tirely to supply and demand.
 With a shortage reported by mil1ers in the 1916 wheat crop it is said that last years surplus would have carried the country through the crisis but for the fact that our doors have been opened to foreign purchasers who have taken wide advantage of the opportunity to buy in large quanti- ties. Similar conditions are said to affect the production of sugar and lard.

New London, Oft Fooled
 Still Waits for Bremen

New London, Sept. 28-If the U lin- CT Bremen is hereabouts she is in a lobster pot or somebody's back yard.
 What is exciting Berlin must be a version of the circumstantial report of three days ago which had the Bre- men off Montauk. Like others which have excited the people here in the last few weeks. it was untrue.
 The U liner is nine days overdue to- day, according to the figuring of the officials of the Eastern Forwarding Company, who looked for her on Sept. 19. They are keeping up their nightly search with tugs off the harbor, and express confidence that she will ar rive soon. They have said they will not be alarned over her safety for two weeks.
 At the New London Marine Iron Works, lenders were being made to- day to hang over the sides of the sub- marine when she is berthed here. They are painted red, with Bremen in white letters.

BERLIN REJOICES AT ARRIVAL" or BREMEN IN U. s.
Papers Print Maps and His tory of New London While
 That Town Waits

Berlin, Sept. 2S-The Berlin news papers yesterday are acclaiming en- thusiastically the arrival of the Ger man submarine Bremen at New Lon don. The Connecticut town has jumped to a point of prime interest, and the newspapers have found it necessary to describe its situation by the aid of maps. They also are di- lating on the history of the town.
 The news of the Bremen relieved the protracted tension, which had grown intense as the expected arrival of the submarine was delayed from week to week.: Apparently authentic rumors had been in circulation that the Bremen sailed early in August, hence fears were entertained that something had gone wrong with her.
 Tfe report of her arrival has been greeted by the newspapers as paving the way for the establishment of a regular submarine service between Germany and the United States, and as answering the alleged taunt of Ger manys enemies, when the submarine Deutschland returned home from her voyage overseas, You can't do it again."
 All the newspapers print a sketch of Capt. Schwartzkopff, master of the Bremen, who was for long time in the service of the North German Lloyd Steamship Go. He served for years on the steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse and distinguished himself in rescue work in the Hoboken. pier fire in 1900.
 Capt. Schwartzkopff was the first officer of the Prinz Friedrich Wilhelm when the war broke out The steamer then was at Spitzbergen, on polar excursion, but succeeded in making a home port without encountering the British fleet

Engineer F Forced to Tell Mail Clerk To Open Car
 Doors.

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 28-Search was being vigorously pressed today for a gang of men believed to number five or six who late last night held up the New York-Chicago Express, east bound, on the Michigan Central, near Dearborn. ten miles west of here, and after beating Fireman John Doherty into unconsciousness. made off with onep ouch of registered mail. How much they obtained will not be known until postal authorities in Chicago and New York check up the registered matter. The coaches and Pullmans were not entered.
 The two men boarded the train somewhere east of Ypsilanti, conceal ing themselves between two cars. Shortly before Dearborn was reached, they climbed over the tender and cov- ering the engine crew with revolvers. ordered them to continue until told to stop. Before climbing over they had uncoupled the mail and baggage car from the rest of the train. The order to stop was given two miles beyond Dearborn and as the train slowed down one of the men hit the fireman over the head with the butt of a re- volver, rendering his unconscious.
 Engineer Charles Palmer was then taken from the cab to the door of the mail car. Showing him bottle which the robbers said contained nitro-glycerfne, they told him to tell the mail clerk, to open the door or they would blow the car to pieces. The door was opened and the two ho1dup men entered the car with the engineer between them. One mail pouch was thrown out and picked up by a third member of the gang.
 The mail clerk was then locked in his car, and the engineer returned to his cab where he was kept covered while one of the men drew the fire from under the boiler.
 The holdup men this disappeared. Engineer Palmer said he heard the sound of an automobile shortly after he entered his cab and believed the machine was waiting for the gang. The New York-Chicago Express. which was train No. 1 4 on the Michi- gan Central, left Chicago at p. m.. and was due in Detroit at 10:S5 p. m.

HUGHES ANNOYED
 BY HIS GREETING I.IN PENNSYLVANIA
Steel Workers Unrespon-
 sive to Candidates Husky . Protestations.

Pittsburgh, Sept. 2S-Charles E. Hughes turned his face toward New
 York last night weary man, after
 having been subjected by the Penn
 sylyanian politicians to a strenuous day.
 The Old Guard Republicans, led by Boles, Penrose and the Old Guard Prtogressives, led by William Film. hurried by Republican Presidential candidates around western Pennsyl- vania at a rapid pace. And at the end of it all MT. Hughes was cognizant of the fact that he had not been greet ed by as many people as attended his Saturday night demonstration in In- dianapolis.
 MT. Hughes. clearly was annoyed, although he tried to keep up, a. smile until after his meeting last night in the Exposition Music hall. His voice was husky. but his eyes were full of fire. He was greeted by T000 at his
 night meeting. and the audience was extremely cordial. But he omitted to mention any of Pennsylvania's fa;- vorite sons, with the exception of Philander c. Knox.
 le. Speaks, to Steel Workers.
 N In none of his speeches yesterday dad the Presidential candidate bring sSut any new points,. When his train Stopped yesterday morning at Canton. D.. he made only brief reference to William Mckinley.
 & On his arrival here, early yesterday 3ternoon, he was taken on a motor
 lip If 50 miles, to visit the steel works - Homestead, Duquesne, McKeesport Id oWilmerding. The day was hot, e foads dusty and the steel workers
 Whom he talked about protection
 eres for the most part unresponsfve.
 Occasionally, MT. Hughes got a cheer, and once or twice there were shouts for Wilson. One steel company gave it's 7,500 men an hour off at full \ pay to hear him, at an estimated cost of $2,OOO. On the whole, however, many of MT. Hughes travelling com panions felt that he had spent a value less day, which played hob with his voice and promised no advantageous results. Six Speeches to 30,OO0 ss Ihhalf dozen speeches MT. Hughes addressed not more than SO,oOO peo- ple. He touched on the tariff, the Adamson law and Mexico. His meet ing last night had as it's permanent chairman H. J. Heinz, and conspicu- ous in the front row on the platform were Senators Penrose and Oliver, fofmer Secretary of/ State Knox, Mayor Armstrong and MT. Finn. Prior, to the meeting, he, reviewed big Republican parade.
 Senator Penrose declared early in the day that Pennsylvania would give Hughes 100000 plurality.
 The Republican candidate will i'm wade today the home state of Presi- dent Wilson. He will stop at Trenton in the morning, make a speech there. and proceed then to Sartoga, where he will address the Republican state conference at night.
