PROVIDING NATIONS TO MEET
 THE CHICKS SDEVELOPMENT
First a Fast, and Then Ere quent Feelings of Easily
 Digested Foods-Sanitary Measures Have Much to Do With the Health and Thriftiness of a Brood
By CHARLES L. OPPERMAN Poultry Husbandman, Maryland Az.

ricuIturaI Experiment Station
 The successful feeding of chicks from the shell to maturity can be accomplished by anyone who is willing to pay strict attention to details. For the first few weeks the chicks must be fed frequently and carefully and the feeder must SUD- ply the elements most essential to the development of the youngsters. As the chicks grow the ration must be changed to take care of their increased require ments. Sanitation is also big factor if We expect strong, healthy stock
 One of the oldest rules of poultry-keep- ing is that food should be withheld from the chicks during the first "A or 4S hours This rule is as sound today as 1t was in the early days of the poultry industry Nature has provided food for this period by enclosing in the chicks abdomen what remains of the yolk of the egg just be- fore the chick emerges from the she'll The digestive organs feed upon this yolk material and thus sustain the chick while it is getting strong on its legs and becoming acquainted with it's new sur roundings. This same natural food sup ply also enables poultrymen to ship young chicks for several hundred miles as soon as they are taken from the in- cubator, with a remarkably small per- centage of loss. Thus, the first impor- tant point in successful feeding is to withhold food from the newly -hatc ched chicks for at least 63 hours

wing child of the Confederate chief
tain, and many other distinguished
men and women Of Richmond gather
cd last night at the Home for Needy
Confederate Women, 3 East Grace

that time, until few days ago, the
inmates have been cared for in the
former Woman's College Building.
In keeping with the policy adopted
in New York, Richmond is expected
to put the ban on the sale of all cx-
plosives, including fireworks and fire
crackers. New York's action was
based upon the conviction that all
material will be needed fer munition
manufacturing, and at the same time
this course will keep explosives from
being obtained by persons of doubt
ful intentions. The matter has been
BROUGHT to the attention Of Mayor
Ainslic, who in turn will take it up

PCUNCE ON GERMANS.

Bring Down Several Enemy Air
planes.
With the British Armies in France.
April 2S.-Thc German airmen had
one of the greatest surprises of their
lives late Thursday. The day had
been heavily overcast until nearly s
o'clock in the evening when the clouds
suddenly thinned and the sun broke
through. A few German machines
had been sighted well back Of their
lines during the obscured period, but
when the sun shone on several enemy
suuadrons which had been housed all
day came out to stretch their wings
in the slanting afternoons rays.
They had scarcely taken the air
when the British machines bounced
upon them, and in the after-tea-time
fighting that cnsued several Ger
man machines were seen 10 crash,
and eight others to be driven down
completely out of control, which arc
believed to have been destroyed.
Between 6 and s o'clock the air
was filled with wonderful incidents OF
deeds of daring.

THE FOOD PROBLEM.
World Believed to be Heading Toward
Famine.

World Believed to be Heading Toward
Famine.
The biggest problem which the war
ing nations of Europe now are facing
will in the very near future confront
the while world, neutral as well as
belligerent. The world is heading
steadily toward food famine.
This flat statement of facts has
been laid before government officials
by members of the French and Brit
ish war missions, it was learned Of
fcially yesterday. The. men who
have the facts before the United
States have been con the firing
line" for more than. two years and a
half. They know and have so told
members of President Wilson's Cabi-
net, that the rate of consumption far
outreaches the production.
For great part of this consump-
ton the German submarines are re-
sponsible Not only have they sent
thousands Of tons of foodstuffs to the
bottom of the seas, but they have
intimidated hundreds of neutral ships
into staying in their home ports. The
production and transportation of food
stuffs have become so correlated as to
be inseparable, and the lack of trans
portation amounts practically to lack
of production.
The Old World is looking to the
new-North and South America-for
deliverance from the menace of fam
inc. 1t has been emphasized to
American government officials that
the greatest possible service it :an
render in the war is to provide food
and its transportation.
Production in Europe practically is
at standstiil. Forty million men
have been drawn from their normal
productive activities and plunged in
to the work of destruction.
All these facts have been placed
before United States officials.
In the forthcoming conferences
between them and members of the
French and British war missions.
they will be discussed.
The government has already launch
ed gigantic campaign for increased
production of food.

This blouse Is of georgette with

cuffs of satin, in II contrasting color.
The body of the blouse Is rather plain,
with little fullness (set in ut the
shoulder seams) in the front. The
sleeves are full, gathered into deep
cuffs Of crepe and these are finished
at the wrist with narrow satin cuffs.
All seams are hemStitched, The edges
Of the satin vest are finished with n

II Is made of two scmicirculur pieces

about four inches shorter from the

Above these pockets Is attached fiat
to the linen stuffed square pin

iini hing touches in the way of deco
rations. Every conceivable method of
making in the skirts and bodies has
already been exploited. with plaits and

Is required and the waistline placed
anywhere from just below the bust to

As skirts grow narrower and
straighter plaits take the lead In pro-
viding the fullness necessary, since 1T
the same time they insure straight
lines. Besides they are better adapted

are seen ut their best. for the skirt Is
