profits. As an example, in Green county, Missouri, on August 28 more than 300 farm f1ocks were cul1ed through the efforts of the local lead CT organizations.
 large number of chick hatcheries reported, as a result of this and other campaigns, that they had sold more day-old chicks the past season than ever before. It is believed that at least 50 per cent. of poultry produc- CTS matched earlier this year than in previous years as a result of the ef- forts for early matching.
 Thousands of families in cities and towns all over the country. were in duced to keep a few hens in their backwards to utilize table waste and supply the home with eggs. In a number of larger towns and cities or dinances prohibiting keeping poultry within certain districts were overcome by getting officials to allow backyard 1ocks within the city limits as war emergency.

throughout most of this area the net- bula is very faint, so that even in a moderate sized telescope on@ the more brilliant parts are seen and to the naked eye only the central DOT tion itself is visible as the hay star.
 In the brightest part of the nebula are four stars arranged almost in a geometrical figure called a trapezium, and these stars are therefore known as the Trapezium. Though 1t has not yet been definitely ascertained, 1t seems probable that the Trape&ium is really part of the nebula-a quadruple nucleus-and not just by accident along the same line of sight and entirely unconnected with the tn- ternal structure of the nebula.
 Perhaps it is not out of place here to say word in regard to a certain point in connection with nebulae about which much misconception ol the part of the laity exists. Nebulae are masses of gas which are giving off light, are incandescent. Each particle of matter in the nebula is a: a very high temperature, but there IS no fire and no combustion, or burning. We often read of flaming stars, suns etc. This should not be misinter- preted as meaning that the matter making up those heavenly bodies is really burning. Burning is the chem ical union of two substances, accom- panied by characteristic phenomena But the temperatures of the visibli stars and nebulae are too high fol any such chemical union to take place. The nebula is more like the glowing gases or vapors in one O those green Cooper-Hewitt mercur! lamps which one sees in rapid firt photograph parlors and many post offices and factories.

Mars is an even ing star But, as it sets by o'clock does 9r6t show on the map. Uranus unfortunately, is never a sight for tn naked-eye astronomer and is uninter esting, even in telescope, because o its great distance from us.

RUMANIA TELLS WAR AIMS.

Washington, Nov. Capt. Basil Stoica, president of the Rumanian National Council of America and an officer of the Rumanian Legion now fighting in France, yesterday present. ed to Secretary Lansing memoran- dunn setting forth the claims of Ru- mania and her aims and ambitions in the war.
 The Rumanians make no claims to territorial boundaries, being content to leave that to the peace conference settlement. What they now need most, Capt. Stoica says, is word of encouragement from the United States.
 The Rumanian people are declared tc be anxious to re-enter the war against their former foes, especially the Hungarians, and the memoran- dunn says the Hungarian proposal to form a separate Transylvanian state would keep in subjection the Ruman- ian population of Pennsylvania de- spite promises of independence.

WHISKEY PRICES HELD AT A LOW
 LEVEL FIGURE
Probability of Prohibition in Near Future Affects
 Market Value of Liquor.

Louisville, Ky, Nov. 1-After .eigh- teen months of extreme uncertainty in the whislzey market the price of bonded goods today in Kentucky, the largest straight whiskey producing state in America, 95 cents to $1.16 8 gallon.
 The iHminence of complete prohi- bitton, coupled with the belief that higher taxes may cause a marked de- crease in consumption, is expected by large operators to keep prices at a low level. A few dealers, however, believe the approach of prohibition will stimulate demand and bring high prices.
 The sudden, sweeping market changes have kept operators in a tur- moil. A year and half ago many of them would have been bankrupt had they been forced to liquidate their holdings. Then prices rose and on paper some of the holders were millionaires.
 The order stopping production for beverage purposes sent prices up- ward until newest whiskies approach ed S3 a gallon in bond. Owners counted gains in big figures, and many held on for higher prices. The cautious ones unloaded at the peak, however.
 Then came the certainty of prohibi- ton for the duration of the war and that greatly increased taxes must be paid. Prices crashed and brought the low levels of today.
 There are between thirty and for ty millions of gallons of whiskey available for sale today on which the tax has been paid. The present tax on whiskey is $S.2o a proof gallon. Dealers said they expected the new $S, ,Oo0, 900, 900 revenue bill to provide a tax of at least double and probably treble the present rate.

it, But Later Was Induced to Pro-
duce Stolen Jewelry.

A thrilling story of guns, masks and
robbery, which had stirred country
ncighbOrhOOd by its recital, melted into
the make-believe of yello-hack novel,
once investigators were on the JOB,
says the Indianapolis News. A talk
between two persons, which is said
to have occurred behind farmers
barn, led to the recovery of loot in
the form of jewelry and confession
from boy, who reluctantly dragged
from his trousers pocket the remains
of dollar bill.
Sheriff Coffin was called in by neigh
bors after the boy, whose name is
purposely withheld, had communicated
to persons with whom he lived that
very dark man, wearing mask over
his face, had visited his home while
lie was alone; that he had been threat
ened with a shotgun and, after rifling
the house, had forced the boy to leave
with him. About a mile from the
house, the boy related, the stranger

When the sheriff arrived there was
a consultation behind the barn, and
when it had been concluded the boy
dug the jewelry out of the ground,
tolG his friends that he had sold the
duck Mt a nearby grocery for some
money; that the Belgian hare escaped
while he was on his way to the gro

the creation of his own imagination.

DON'T FRET ABOUT TRIPLES
Magnifying Petty Mistakes and Trou'
bles Weakens Ones Ability to
Master Bigger Problems.

Some of us rather overdriven women
get into habit of magnifying the pet.
ty mistakes or troubles Of disagreeable
events of the day, the business day,
and making them out very big and ter.
rible. The result is loss Of energy,
for magnified troubles bring worry and
anxiety, which is sort Of poison to
the mind and even to the body, writes
Jessie Roberts in the Houston Post.
Don't hang on to the mistakes OF
yesterday. Today's will be easier to
manage if you haven't that drag on
you, and by little more firmness you
can soon get to the point when the an
noyance of the moment gets itself set
tied in that moment and then is drop
ped.
We would think it fool thing to
feed our body poison, even In the mi
putest particles; but we feed our
nerves poison, even though it be in,
small quantities, when we deliberately
fret and worry over small things, max
ing them huge and important by the
mere turning of them over and over.
These are strenuous days. Don't
weaken your strength by unnecessary
and harmful fussing over trifles. After
you have done whatever can be done
to remedy what has gone wrong, turn
your mind away from it. Refuse to be
dominated by small mistakes. Few of
us, by the way, are terrified by really
big thing. We rouse up and meet it
definitely and firmly, unless we have q
yellow streak. But the small thing
often breaks down our nerveS-and
then our nerve.

Alcohol for Fuel.

A committee of Australian scientists
IS Investigating the possibilities Of
commercial alcohol in place of gaso.
line as fuel for internal combus'
ton engines, notes correspondent.
They find that an engine can easily
be run on alcohol and that Its thermal
efficiency, when so run, is somewhat
higher than with gasoline fuel. How
ever, they also find that alcohol must
be far cheaper by the pound than gaso'
line, and somewhat cheaper by the
quart, if it is to be as economical q
fuel in terms of. dollars and cents.
Moreover, an engine will not start
from a cold condition on alcohol.
