the plan urged by the government to
produce more poultry this year. The
owners of incubators will be asked to

and c. E. WiCklund, of this city.
This committee will furnish the eggs.

the price that is estimated now will be

going TO ask these volunteers to take
the free eggs and place them in their
incubators May l. at which date most
poultrymen have finished using their

chicks May q and the distribution of
the chicks is planned for May "A and

asked also 10 deliver them to the COM

In the meantime the committeeman
want to receive orders from those who
want baby chicks in the hope that by
the time the hatch comes off the whole
hatch will be sold. Those who want
chicks in half dozen lots TO raise for
fries or to mature for breeding pur
poses are expected to place their orders
with the committeeman in advance.

VIZ ASHINGTON had its yer

Wy ASHINGTON had its very
w merriest Christmas Wednes-
W day since the breaking out
of the cruelest war in history. 1t is
difficult to conceive of any great So
cal activity in 1.-THE absence of the
chief executive of the nation and
his wife, the secretary of state and
his wife, and seven ambassadors and
their wives, but it has proven true,
nevertheless. The debutantes, new
officials, and a bride and bridegroom
here and there have made up in part
for the absence of those distin-
guished men and women.
Christmas day was observed, as
was Christmas eve, with private
parties, and family parties, with the
beautiful Christmas night ball for
the benefit of the Children's Coun-
try Home Gaping the climax of the
days celebrations. The Vice Presi-
dent and Mrs. Marshall, the ranking
officials of the country in the abb
sence of the president, had Christ
mas tree party for their small adopt
ed son, Morrison Marshall, on
Christmas eve in their commodious
apartment in the Willard hotel. Aft
er the merry making around the tree
wholesome supper was served. On
Christmas day the Vice President
and Mrs. Marshall dined with Mr..
Thomas F. Walsh, who has been
Mrs. Marshali's intimate friend for
many years. Mrs. Marshall has been
chief aid to Mrs. Walsh in the lat
ter's wonderful work of re-construc-
ton of old cast off clothing, into
pretty and serviceable garments for
babies and children of the refugees
in France and Belgium. Nine. JUS
serand, wife of the French ambassa-
dor carried with her on her trip
abroad in the presidential party,
many boxes of these garments made
from cast-off shirts of men, which
were worn only about the edges of
the collars and the cuffs, and which
made splendid dresses for tiny chill
dren, sweaters made from the legs of
worn silk stockings; and fine coats
and vests, some of them Innings,
made from worn evening gloves.
Mrs. Walsh has accomplished one of
the greatest works of conservation
and salvage, in the reconstruction of
these ordinarily abandoned articles.
Nine. Jusserand will distribute the
many boxes of garments, where they
are most needed in France. Mrs.
Walsh has turned her house almost
literally into Worship for this
work, which the society women are
doing, under her direction

CHAPTER II.
In the Engine Cab.

Number 337, declared by En-
N gineer Bill Carney to be the
~ fastest locomotive on the road
was snorting and throbbing at the
head Of the Night Flyer az the Spirit
of Safety rushed Peggy into the
cab. The big steel steed seemed
eager to be off on its swift flight
to the sea. 1t had taken only min.
ute to uncouple the engine which had
drawn the train thus far, and only
another minute to couple on Mum
Der 337.
Engineer Bill was on the steps OF
the cab, leaning down to receive
final instructions. These were being
given by no less a person than the
superintendent himself, which
showed that they were very import
ant.
Its a shame to ask you to drive
the Flyer tonight, Bill, when you are
so sick that you ought to be in bed"
the superintendent was saying, but
we haven't another man we can de-
pend on to take her through on time,
And she must be on time because
scores are depending absolutely on
the trains reputation of never being
late, and because we have as a pas
senger an important government Of
fetal who must sail for Europe early
in the morning. You'll be doing I'm
Gle Sam a service if you get him
there, Bill"
"I'll get him therer answered Bill
grimly, though his face was pale
from his illness and his hand trem-
bled bit as he put on his goggles.
I'VE thought at first we might let
Fred try it," said the superintendent
in a low voice, nodding his head in
the direction of the fireman on the
opposite side of the cab, "but we de-
cided that this trip was too import
ant to take any chances"
THE Night Flyer has got to get
through on time and get through
safely" repeated the superintendent.

official"
Bill nodded and climbed a bit I'M
steadily into his seat at the side of
the cab.
"See how much depends on your
watchfulness," whispered the Spirit
of Safety to Peggy. You're on
Uncle Sans business tonight. You
mustn't let harm come to Engineer
Bill. Sit up there on the seat beside
him and keep guard of him every
minute. Goodby."
With that the Spirit of Safety
darted out of the cab, leaving Peggy
alone with her queer and unexpected
job. And Peggy realized that it was
a big job, for any child could see
that Engineer Bill was a very sick
man. AS Peggy climbed up behind
him, she wondered what she would
do if he tainted or became delirious
while the Night Flyer was rushing
through the darkness.
Quickly she thought Of Fred, the
fireman. He might help. But as she
studied his face, she understood why
the superintendent would not trust
him with the train. There was
something in his eye that showed he
could not be depended on. It was a
reckless, defiant look. Just now
there was anger there, too. He flung
open the door of the frebox, show
eled coal upon the roaring blaze, and
slammed the door shut. Then he
turned to Engineer Bill.
I'm getting sick of this job" he
growled. Here I've been firing a
year, and I know enough to handle
an engine, and yet rather than give
me a chance they drag you from
sick bed to pull her through. 1t isn't
fair"

The wise woman makes herself at
tractive at the breakfast table,
whether she is clad in negligee or in
simple house gown. This attrac-
tive breakfast jacket is made of pink
crepe meteor. 1t is cut like cape
with surplice closing whose ends
run through bound buttonholes.
The sides are tackled together to
form armholes. The edges of this
little garment may be corded. With
this jacket is worn a petticoat of
pink meteor, ruffles with cream lace,
which is dotted with bows of old
blue ribbon and little bouquets of
French flowers. A cap of cream net
and lace is held by a band of old
blue ribbon and tiny flowers. Very
