are to be yincubated at home. It is a more serious matter, however, to insure eggs against abuse where they are to be sent to distant point for incubation. As in the case at home it is essential that the living germ in the eggs be protected from excessive changes in temperature and shock It becomes necessary to re- sort to methods of packing which will in- sure it against accident due to careless handling while en route.
 Many failures in matching are due to lax methods in transportation, even where the eggs have been carefully packed for shipment The package may be accidentally or carelessly exposed to extreme heat (mby being placed against a radiator or steam pipe) or exposed to extreme heat (by being placed against end of the shipping points. It may be accidentally dropped or otherwise sub jected to rough handling. In case of par eel post it may be thrown from the mail cars to the platform or knocked about as we have seen other mail bags. All of these conditions must be considered by both consignor and consignee. When arranging to send matching eggs to distant points, there are many excel- lent methods in practice which have their advocates, and have proven highly satis- factory. A small splint basket lined with
 ceIsior and each egg wrapped individ- ually with excelsior and packed with the points down so that there can be no movement, the whole covered with a layer of excelsior, over which a muslin cover has been stretched and stitched to the sides of the basket, has been in popular use for many years. This
 method protects the eggs from heat or cold and the springiness of the excelsior absorbs the shock and vibration.
 Many new devices are being put on the market which have exceptional merit as

Why They Never Get Ahead

One man says to another in an ar ticle in the American Magazine:
 Bert he said, speaking very slowly and impressively, I've always made it rule in business to accept resignations, and I'm going to accept yours. But I'm going to tell you some thing, and you can pass it on to An derson with my compliments. You two young fellows are in the most dan- gerous position of any two young men know. You have ability. too darned much ability. If you had only a It, plug every minute, you'd be fairly slowly, but surely IS the fellows ahead of you died off. But you two are brilliant. It's true you can get your $50 week whenever you want it. And that's your danger. You will go roll ing around collecting $50 week here and $50 a week there, and you'll never stay long enough in one place to get STE a week, or s100 a week, or $200 week. Oh, I know your type! You may not give me credit for much sense now, but when I was your age I was exact ly in your fix. And I want to tell you that if I hadn't taken myself by the neck and forced myself to stay put, I'd still be collecting $50 week as reporter on some newspaper instead of pulling down $31,000, as I did last year. With just your brilliancy, and no stability, you're worth just about $50 week. But it takes more than brilliance to be worth a really big job"

And you think one of the most foolish promises required of the ideal husband by that crowd of women was to kiss his wife every morning before he left home no matter whether she was besmeared with cold cream and wore curl papers, even though he was married to her 50 years? And the foolish promise of never kicking at your wifes cooking or getting angry if she came home late. are all just like lot of women? How dare you, Mr. Caudle? If the women did not make rules for men to love by where would society be today? You've no use for those silly promises? It's quite as unreason- able you say for man to promise at the altar to love one woman all his life as 1t would be to promise not to get fat, or not to have the toothache or to love your mother-in-law forever?

 Don't advertise an article which is in- corporated in a larger article, unless you first study the situation with great care. If you are advertising such product as the springs of a carriage, or the eyelets of shoe, make up your mind whether you want to reach the manufacturers through the people or the people through the manufacturers. There are advantages each way. but the methods in one case are totally different from what are needed in the other. Tn one case you must ad- vertise the article itself; in the other case the incorporated product.
 Don't attempt any campaign which runs counter to fashion. This is setting your self against human nature, and of course you will fail.
 Don't project plan which contributes in any way, even unconsciously, to rob a man of his satisfaction with himself, with his family, or with his station in life This advice is not on sentimental or moral grounds, but because you will be buclxing against stone wall without sec ing it. That wall is self-respect. You can never reap advantage if you suggest that a man is below others in rank or station.

suits. Some of them may hatch and produce chicks that may be reared to maturity but in the majority of instances the results will be disappointment.
 Unevenness in size and shape of eggs, in one setting. very often results in poor matches due to the variance in tenn perature.
 Eggs intended for matching should be gathered at frequent intervals to prevent them from becoming chilled in the nests. It must be remembered that the egg con- tains living germ of most delicate struc- ture and, if best results are to be ex- pected. it must be protected from injury until incubated. It is surprising the amount of abuse the living germ in an egg can withstand and hatch into a healthy chick. but this is no reason why proper precautions should not be taken for it's protection.
 Fresh eggs that have not been cooled to temperature below 50 degrees hatch best. Eggs intended for matching pur- poses should not be held over two weeks, although they will hatch if kept for a, much longer period. The fresher they are when incubation is started. the bet ter, but if it is not possible to set them for few days. due precautions are neces- sary to insure best results.
 HOW TO KEEP MATCHING EGGS
 As soon as the eggs are gathered from the nests they should be placed in an up right position with the large end up. Small one-doxen-size egg crates make ideal containers for this purpose. While it is not absolutely essential that they be placed in this upright position. 1t brings the living germ against the delicate mem- brane lining the egg shell. and. in such position, 1t Is cushioned by the air cell in the large end of the egg.
 Eggs should be stored in a room in which the temperature does not arise above 5S degrees Fahrenheit. as any tenn perature higher than c or 70 degrees Is apt to start incubation. The egg should

men is just this They will promise a woman anything before marriage any thing from the moon to the rings around Jupiter and most women so fool ishly in love with a man who does these things, especially if he happens to have wavy hair and a straight nose and 8 gcod figure, that they don't stop to consider whether he'll keep his promises or not, and then, poor thing, after the beast has married her, he never stops to consider her about anything, much less whether or not he'll keep his promises; and then comes disillusion, misery and a shattering of ideals! No, Mr. Caudle, I haven't an ideal left, as far as hus- bands are concerned; in fact, MT. Caudle. the ideal husband as far as most women are concerned is the one they didn't get And I suppose it will be ever thus as long as people marry and are given in marriage!"

be turned each day to keep the germ from becoming fastened in the one posi- ton. All unnecessary rough handling should be eliminated, for, while in many cases 1t does no apparent harm, it must be borne in mind that we are dealing with delciate living germ which is expected to grow into strong, healthy and vigor- ous chick.
 All dirty or soiled eggs should be avoided if possible, as the pores in the shells of such eggs are closed, thus pre- venting the natural passage of air through the shell to the chick germ When washing eggs is necessary it usually destroys the cuticle covering the eggshell, which permits of too rapid evaporation of it's moisture. There is a certain freshness or bloom in the fresh laid egg which should be preserved as long as possible
 g When the eggs are intended for incuba- tion, it is necessary to keep them in a moderately dry room, free from all ob- noxious gases or odors, if this bloom is to be retained. Where eggs must be kept for more than a few days better results may be obtained if they are turned regu- larly each day and warmed to temper ature of from 50 to 55 degrees.
 Protection of eggs in cold weather is not any more important than the care necessary in warm weather. If the nests are in a cool place it is an inducement for the hen to remain longer on the nest, or if the eggs are not gathered at fre- quent intervals, several hens may oc- cupy the same nest in succession, there by starting incubation. Tn warm weather it Is essential that the eggs be Kept in place where the temperature will not bring them above 55 degrees.

 Strong, healthy chicks can only efufo duced from the right sort of eggs, Inc since eggs vary not only in size, Eclp and shape, so do they vary in other nor, deep seated and fundamental character jstics, which may influence the vigor5 ane other attributes of the offspring. fi
 As rule, a hen lays eggs of abpu the same shape, size and color contin ually, and in general these characteris tics are in most part transmitted to 1t. offspring. It is. therefore, of greatestffm portance that a selection of eggs sfol matching be made along the lines f.tht desired product.

during her first year is reduced in vigor. Reproduction is one of the most exhaus- tive processes of nature. Egg production is essentially reproductive process and 1t is evident that bullet which has fin ished protracted laying period is not
 as vigorous as at the beginning of that period. Anything which. reduces the vigor of the parent also reducss the vitality of the offspring. Eggs should be selected from parents which have had a period of rest and are not forced for egg pro- duction.
 Misshapen eggs are mostly due to acci- dent or a malformation of the oviduct. The malformation of the oviduct is very often brought about by excessive fat. Mottled eggs are those in which the
 shell substance Is deposited unevenly and, in consequence, there are numerous
 transparent spots visible, especially de-
 tected by candling. Mottled eggs are seldom fertile and are usually unfit for matching

SENTIMENT TF0R
 HIGHWAYS BILL
 GROWS RAPIDLY

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 2S.- Sentiment for the Chamberlain-D Dent military highways bill is accumulat- ing rapidly and it's expression to mem- bers of congress not only comes from seacoast and border states, but also from the Mississippi valley and Rocky Mountain sections It is not certain now that the measure will have to await the regular session. as the evil dence daily accrues of the timeliness of this legislation.
 Secretary of War Baker in a com munication to Chairman George c. Diehl of the A. A. A. good roads board snatches opportunity to express him self:
 This great project has it's value both in time of war and peace, and its consideration should not be unduly postponed. But fear that present con- ditions may tend, at least for the time being, to delay action on this as well as some other urgently needed meas ures not directly connected with inn mediate war preparations Brig. Gen. Joseph F. Kuhn, chief of the war college division, in comment ing upon the bill has this to say:
 "It apparently covers the ground quite well, but, like other matters of the same kind, will have to be threshed over and subjected to many modified 1 tions before it becomes a law. Ma | turally, at this time of emergency when all departments of the govern ment are seriously strained, new legis- l lation does not stand so good a chance | as in normal times
 | Of course the measure, which has the ] distinction of being introduced in botf | branches of congress by the chairman of it's military affairs committee. is being called particularly to the atten- 1 tion of the chief executives and stat' highway engineers of the seacoas states. Governor Walter E. Edge 0 New Jersey promptly replied to thi! effect:
 T am greatly interested in thi' proposition, and no doubt Genera 1 Goethals will be also"
 Though devoting much of his tim to the federal shipping board the gen eral still retains his place as New Jer sey state engineer for which he wa recently engaged.
 In preparing the cantonments, dis
 tributed as they are in different part
 of the country. the question of road
 has obtruded itself in no small degree Undoubtedly this will be a forcefu reason for empowering the secretary o

Starting with Margarita Fischer in "The Devils Assistant and the Pathe News reel today, the program holds for Monday as well.
 Tuesday and Wednesday Harold Lockwood makes his initial bow on the Hin program in a Metro wonder play, The Haunted Pajamas," from francis Perry Elliott's novel of the same name. Here is said to be a rad ical departure from the sterotyped picture scenario. The hero is a young clubman of New York city. A friend in China sends him pair of pajama S and they are enchanted. The owner takes on the personality of others who have worn the fatal garments. Un- known to the new owner, this condi- tion confronts him when he dons the night clothes. More funny and dra- = matic situations evolve from this theme with more of a queer twist than has been crowded into any pie ture of late, it is said.
