POULTRY GROWING

The city or town man who keeps q
small flock of hens not only is saving
money but is helping his country.
Every pound of poultry raised and
every egg laid releases just so much
pork and beef for our armies and al
lies, according to l.. w. Burby, poul-
try ~husbandman stationed at the ag-
ricultural college by the United
States department of agriculture.
Poultry will not prevent ones grow
Ing a garden. Twelve hens confined
In a pen big enough for exercise and
provided with green feed will furnish
a goodly number of eggs for food. A
packing box and a little poultry net
ting are all that is necessary for build
Ing n house and run.
For egg production a rooster should
not be kept, as he is noisy and has
a large appetite. but has no influence
on the number of eggs produced.
The poultry grower should not de-
pend too much on table scraps for
feeding his poultry. points out Mr.. Bur-
by. Enough feed should be given TO
keep the birds in good condition and
sufficient excess TO produce eggs. The
hens Will eat vegetable Feelings
and fruit scraps If these are put
through the food chopper and mixed
with n little mash. A good mash con
sists of four parts Of bran, two parts
of shorts. and one part of high grade
beef scraps. by weight.
Plenty OF green feed should be used.
This cuts down the amount of grain
necessary. 1t is desirable To feed to
the poultry the green weeds and thin
nings from the garden. also the mis-
shapen and wormy vegetables, and

The people who indulge in honey ed
phrases seldom ave any fear of eating
their own words.
Lenten dishes this year have no
worriment for the housewife who has
been keeping lent all winter by meat
less, wheatless, porkless days. Eggs
are at present so high that when using
them the frugal cook tries to extend
them by adding something to the dish
which will give bulk and not detract
from the attr~activeness of It.
One good dish may be made by using
rice with egg. Put a quarter of a cup
full of rice well washed into q frying
pan with q little sweet chicken fat ;
fry 1t until yellow, then add some
chicken broth or, lacking that any
good vegetable liquor which has been
saved because of its mineral content.
Cook until the rice is tender, season
and stir in three eggs, carefully cook
ing, add butter, salt, paprika, and
serve as scrambled eggs. This dish
will serve five or six people, saving
two OF three eggs.

Prison Labor Bill Provides
For Use of inmates of Penal
Institutions in Road MAKING

Many state and county administers
tons are utilizing prison labor In road
work.
Governor Brough of Arkansas has
announced that 10 to 100 convicts will
De used continuously on road work in
his state. A sentiment is growing In
favor OF imprisoning all Migrants and
placing them at work on county high
ways. This method of utilizing pris-
on labor. where 1t is conducted under
proper conditions, has always had the
Endorsement of the national committee
on prisons and prison labor, and a pro-
vision for road building has been in
~corporated in the prison labor bill.
An important feature is that of re-
curing the payment Of a wage TO the
prisoner. Such q wage will make it
possible for the prisoner TO contribute
to the support Of his dependents and
at the same time will prevent unfair
competition with free labor. The pas
sage of the bill will give impetus to
he movement for the employment of
pAAoOhClo III IOdu NOIh anu III OllleT
occupations affected by the national
emergency.
Ever since the United States entered
the war the demand for utilizing the
prison labor supply confined in the
penal n correctional institutions of
the country has steadily increased. Re-
ports made to the national committee
on prisons and prison labor show that
the demand for this labor comes from
practically every organization which
has as its purpose some work related
to the prosecution of the "a Ma
tional and state food, fuel, freight,
farm and fish commissions are seek
ing prison labor. State and county
commissions are meeting to discuss
the problem.
Many Of the proposals made will not
be realized until the passage in con-
gress of the prison labor bill intro
duced by Senator Hoke Smith of Geor-
gia and Representative Charles F.
Booher of Missouri. This bill has been
introduced through the efforts of the
national committee on prisons and
prison labor and the American Fedora
ton of Labor TO promote the use of
prison labor in the wal emergenc and
also TO prevent exploitation of the pris-
Oner.

Optical Glass Playing a Big
Part in the World Conflict
Needed by All Departments

That every field OF military endeav-
or depends upon the supply of optical
glass is the statement recently made
by Prof. Edward w. Washburn of the
department of ceramic engineering at
the University Of Illinois.
1.-The war could not be conducted
without optical glass;" said Professor
Washburn. Telescopes, binoculars, Of

poses, A-ray bulbs and microscopic
lenses for the medical and sanitary
corps and many other necessary i'm

mic industry" explained the lecturer.
previous to the war" Professor
Washburn said, Germany manufac-
tured 100 different kinds of optical
glass, an assortment which supplied
the whole world. England boosted
about twenty varieties of glass. The
United States produced none whatever.
England's product was not nearly suf-
ficient TO meet the demand of the nj
lies n Britain found it necessary at
the beginning of the war TO collect all
field glasses and small telescopes own
ed by citizens"
Doctor Washburn then told how
America is meeting the same problem
under The direction of a special com-
mittee on optical glass manufacture.
AS n result Of activities of this
commission" according TO Professor
Washburn, American industry is now
supplying all the optical glass urgent
~ needed by the army and navy"

reveal the real measure Of the popu-

In the photographers showcase not
far from the fashionable Pare Mon
ceau there Is among other pictures an
excellent almost life-size head Of M.
Clemenceau. A young French officer
who was passing the shop the other
day glanced casually at the showcase.
Perceiving the picture of his chief he
instinctively raised his hand to q sa-
lutte and passed on unaware that his
spontaneous tribute had been observed.
In the early days of the long-range
gun bombardment of Paris, says the
Matin, 1t was stated that the shells
were made from a new type of steel
alloyed with vanadium, which gave it
exceptional properties. But analysis
has shown that the shells are made Of
ordinary nickel and chrome steel, such
as is in current use for making guns
both In France and Germany and
whose properties are well known.
