BIG TIME AWAITING
OVERSEAS SOLDIERS

Coblenz, Dec. 22.-The arms of Santa
Claus, reaching across the Atlantic and
France to beyond the Rhine, have
brought large quantities of sweets and
other luxuries and holiday gifts for the
first Christmas in Germany for tho
American army of occupation
Christmas packages for the soldiers
commenced to arrive several days ago
in carload lots and are being distrib-
uted rapidly to the eight divisions with
in the area of occupation. The Red
Cross has provided 80 carloads of candy
and the quartermaster department
four carloads of pastry. The Y. M. G.
A. provides the decorations for tho
Christmas trees and the Knights of Co..
umbus provide cigarettes, candy and
gum for every officers mess. Every
company of soldiers will have Christ
sas tree.
The Christmas dinners are to consist
of goose, duck and chicken, but no tur-
key or cranberries. The Salvation
Army is baking doughnuts and hopes
to provide each soldier with three.

WOMEN HANDLE BIG SHELLS
Young Mother Gave Practical pemon-
stratlon Of Their Physical Fit
ness to Do So.

When women first were put to work
In shell factories in England they
handled only the light field-gun shells.
Later 1t became necessary for them to
turn out larger shells, and doubts were
raised as to whether the women were
strong enough to handle them. A
young mother settled the question.
"Let me heft the SHE'LL" she said.
picking one up from the floor. "Aye."
she commented, this shell is mite
heavy, It's true, but it's not so heavy
as my baby"
There is shell factory in the Liv-
erpool district operated almost exclu-
sively by the daughters of business
and professional men. Many are
young girls who had never done any
kind Of work other than needle work
and cooking. The heavy work of the
establishment is performed by the
wives of sailors.
This is a nonprofit-making factory
and 1t is the reply of the Cunard COM
pany to the Germans for the sinking
Of the Lusitania.

Don't Waste Feed.

Not all of the early-hatched pullets
will make good winter layers. An early
Matched pullet that Ia undersize at this
season will never make good hen. A
late-hatched pullet that is well grown
and developed at the time Of selecting
the birds which are to make up the
winter laying flock gives better prom
isc than the poorly developed. early
Matched pullct. If proper care is given
1T should begin tying in shdwinter.
Don't waste feed ON any except the
promising pullets. They should have
good care and good feed at all stages.
1t Is impossible to grow pullets care
lessly and on short rations until they
reach the age when they should be
full-grOwn and mature. and then bring
them forward quickly by short course
Of good management. The pullet that
ls worth keeping as layer is worth
good care and full rations all the time.
One that is not considered worth keep
ng should be eaten or marketed. Un-
iersixed birds will not pay for the
'esd they eat during winter.

LOUDER THAN ANY THUNDER
Modern Guns Make Noise That 10 Far
Above That Of "heaveE'~
Artillery"

Every dig noise is compared to
thunder. as If heavens artillery were
the greatest noise imaginable. We
speak commonly of "the thunder of the
guns" and the poets have always
spread themselves on the terrific can
nOnade Of thunder storm. But the
plain fact is that mans artillery beats
the clouds into fits, If the distance at
which each can be heard is any cri-
terion Of the intensity and volume Of
sound.
The gunfire in Flanders has been
heard In London countless times,
while 1t Is quite impossible to say
how far the famous mineburst on the
Vimy ridge. produced by human
agency, though not gunfire. could be
heard. But 1t is doubtful whether the
loudest thunder that ever pealed has
been heard 20 miles away.
One of the greatest thunder storms
Of recent years occurred in the Rich
mOnd area, but not sound Of it
reached London, and 1t is on record
that when the church steeple of Lost
withiel was destroyed by lightning to
the accompaniment Of such roar Of
thunder as the Oldest inhabitant could
not remember, no sound was heard 80
miles distant.
The explanation Of this seeming
anomaly Is possibly the fact that
thunder is produced in the air, and the
sound is conveyed by earth waves
rather than by air waves.-London

WOLFE DRESSES ARE FAVORED
Fabric Of More Substance and Lastino
Quality BrInss This Material to
the Forefront.

Next in favor to the organdies come
the new voile dresses. There is
tendency at this season to employ fab
rics of a little more substance and last
ing quality, and for this reason II for
no other we begin to see great num-
Der Of voile and georgette frocks. A
good voile dress much admired brings
out several of the latest notions-the
modified medici collar, the sleeveless
moyen age blouse and the side panels
Of contrasting colors.
As the body Of the dress is Of white
voile, blue Is used for contrast and
develops the features just mentioned.
The medlci collar on this frock Is
really more reminiscent Of that high
daring fashion than actually the thing
itself, as It Is a narrow strip only,
rolling, however, high up at the back
Of the neck to finish in that line 80
becoming to most women and without
which often the handsomest robes
seem incomplete. 1t is of alternating
strips Of the blue and the white voile
and ornamented with French knots,

merest point in front whero 1t rolls

NEW VELVET HATS FOR FALL
Trimmings for Tailored Headoear In.
eIude Wings, ouille, Burnt os-
T., trieh Faneies, and Others.

As the fall season draws closer, vel
vet hats for women are coming into
greater use. The popular models, ac-
cording to the official bulletin of the
Retail Millinery Association of Amer
lea, are made Of velvet combined with
hatters' plush or panne velvet, and
satin antique combined with hatters'
plush, panne velvet, ordinary velvet
or beaver cloth. In the tailored mod
els, 1t says, velvet with beaver and
hatters' plush is used extensively. In
the "dressier" models the other COM
binations noted are seen.
The trimmings for tailored hats for
the new season include wings, quills,
burnt ostrich fancies, ribbon or vel
vet bows, buckles of cut steel or bone,
and both large and small rhinestone
pins. For dress hats ostrich bandings,
fancles, tips, Jet or beaded ornaments.
paradise, ETC.. are used. The leading
shades for fall are black. purple. navy,
brown, taupe. and sand, though
some hats are seen with light-cOlored
facings.
The bulletin also says that many vel
vet models for fall are being COM
bined with novelty braids. One Of
these braids is made of two or three
strips of felt Joined together with silk
Aoss stitching and is used on fianges
and side crowns. 1t is seen chiefly
In light blue, sand, and rose. Another
novelty Is ratine braid, which looks
like heavy cloth with rough finish.
It is used mostly on tailored or semi
sport models.

Initiated Kopenlek Captain.

An extraordinary instance Of Teu-
tonic servility where uniforms are con-
cerned has occurred at Essen. A par
ty of three armed individuals, two in
soldiers and one in pOlicenRn's uni
form, made round of all the schools
Of the town, representing themselves
to be authorized to collect the chill
dren's satchels. They paid trihe in
each case for the leather straps at
tached to them, and carried away their
booty. After few days. the whole
affair was discovered to be swindle.

have been carried on for days without
anyone having the courage to chal-
Ienge their authority remains one Of
the mysteries Of the war" says the
Rhenish Westphalian Gazette.

great importance, and should be care
fully considered, for on 1t depends to
a large extent not only the general
health of the birds, but also the econ
omy which promotes success. 1t is
subject, however, which should be
studied with large amount of COM
mon sense, for there are no hard and
fast rules which can be laid down as
applying to every case. The price of
feeds and the general environment
should be considered in determining
the right rations.
Profit in Winter Esss.
For the largest profit good proper
tion Of the eggs should be secured dur
ing the winter. If two extra eggs per
week can be obtained from each hen
a good profit will be made, while If
the product is increased by only one
egg per week in winter, this one egg
will pay for all the feed the hen eats.
To obtain this greater production not
only should the fowls be young and
of good laying breed, but the feeder
should have full knowledge Of the
proper feed and Its preparation.
The nutriment in the feed Of laying
hens serves twofold purpose-to re-
pair waste and furnish heat to the
body and to supply the egg-making ma
terials. AS only the surplus over what
is needed for the body is available for
egg production, the proper feeds should
be fed In sufficient quantities to induce
this production.
In supplying feed to fowls there are
three kinds Of constituents which
should be present In certain fairly
well fixed proportions If the desired re-
suits are to be obtained most econom-
ically. These constituents are min
eral. heterogeneous and carbonaceous, all
Of which are contained in corn, wheat.
oats and barley. but not in the right
proportions to give the greatest egg
yield. In addition some animal feed
and green feed should be supplied.

WeII-DeveIoped PuIIets Should
Be Selected for Producing
Eggs During Winter.
HANDLE ALL FOWLS GENTLY
Much Depends on Method Of Changing
From Summer Quarters-SpeeiaI
Attention Should Be Given to
Making Hens Comfortable

Pullets that were hatched early last
spring and developed properly during
the summer should begin laying in Oc-
tober. These are the pullets that
should be selected now TO make up
the flock that Is to produce eggs next
winter. Whether they continue to lay
next season when eggs are high in
price depends upon the way they are
fed and the method of changing them
from summer conditions to their VIM
ter quarters. At this season these
are the questions that should receive
the attention of every poultry raiser,
1t is desirable that pullets be in the
houses they are to occupy during the
winter three or four weeks before they
are expected to begin laying. How
ever, If pullets are on good range they
should not be deprived Of this, and
may be removed to their winter quar-
tiers when good range becomes scarce.
The change should then be made gen.
tly and carefully, and special attention
given to making the hens comfortable
and contented In their new home. II
this Is done the transfer will have only
slight effect on their egg production.
Give PuIIets Good start.
Gentle handling and good treatment
will go a long way toward offsetting
the unfavorable effects of moving pull
lets, whether the change to permanent
winter quarters is made before or after
winter laying begins. Rapid and rough
handling should be avoided. A little
extra time and care In moving pullets
carefully makes a difference Of weeks.
and sometimes months. In egg produc-
ton. The new home should be clean,
the floor covered with litter, all nests
and feeding and water equipment
ready for use. A feed Of grain should
be scattered In the litter and drink
ing vessel filled with water before the
transfer is made.
When hens are to be changed from
one house to another 1t is best to move
them after dark. II only few birds
are to be removed and the distance is
short, they may be carried two at a
time, not by the feet, with their heads
hanging down, but resting in sitting
position on the attendants hand and
wrist. When a large number Of birds
are to be transferred convenient box
or coop may be used. The birds should
not be overcrowded and should be
placed In and removed from the box
gently.
Inv'ne hens should get great part
of their feed by ioraglng. When
housed in winter quarters the best sub
stitute for lhis Is to make them scratch
for the grain in clean litter scattered
about the floor. The hens will thus
get the necessary exercise which is
essential for good egg production. II
hens are placed in winter quarters
from free range they should be llber-
ally supplied with vegetable feed,
which at this time can be easily OBJ
tained from the garden. In fact, lay
ing hens should have vegetable or
green feeds as much as possible
throughout the winter. This makes II
possible to feed grain heavily to pro-
mote good egg production and yet keep
the birds in the best Of physical con-
dition.
