HOUSE POULTRY
COMFORTABLY

Comfortable quarters should be fur
nished the pullets as soon as they are
ready to start laying. The poultry
house is both the home Of the hen and
the factory where winter eggs are pro-
duced. Unless it provides suitable liv.
ing and working conditions the hen
cannot accomplish satisfactory results.
says T. B. TOwnsley of the University
Of Missouri college of agriculture.
Comfort is the important essential of
a poultry house. To provide comfort
the house must be dry, well lighted
and well ventilated and have sufficient
floor space to furnish exercise by
scratching. 1t must also contain Sleep
ing quarters that are clean, well ven-
tilated and yet free from drafts. All
these conditions can be met in one
room, thus economizing in the expense
of building.
Ventilation in poultry house is Sc
cured by leaving the south side rela-
lively open and making the other sides
tight. This provides plenty of fresh
air without drafts. Where possible,
light should be admitted from all
sides. This prevents dark corners and
eliminates the nuisance of having the
litter all scratched to one side, which
occurs when light is secured from only
one direction. Exercise is insured by
keeping the floor covered with several
inches of straw, and feeding all grain
in this litter. The rOOsting quarters
should be compact and comfortable.
They can be made easy to clean by
placing all roOsts on a level at the
north side of the house and by arrang.
ing platform underneath the roosts
to catch the night droppings.

wireless Telephony Is in
Infancy and Distance May
Be No Barrier in Future


Telephoning may be said to have
reached the height Of its power when
the latest accomplishment is related
Already, observes the Des Moines
Capital, we have heard that communi'
cation has been had from the ground
with airplanes going at considerable
speed. The distance of communica.
tion has been that of only. two miles
and then with the engine cut of.
Now the unprecedented record has
been made Of talking with a machine
100 miles. away. Lieutenant Com.
mander G. d. Murray talked to q
naval airplnne which was on Its way
from Washington to Hampton Roads
and the aviator heard what was said
distinctly and even recognized the
voice Of the speaker.
The prediction is made that wire
less telephony Is in its infancy and
the successful experiment Just con.
Quoted leads to the belief that event
ually it will be possible to talk at al.
most any distance with an airplane

GOOSE DIGEsTs GOLD
Remains Of a IS Coin Found In
Gizzard


A few days ago the family of O. O.
Taylor, of Bellefonte, Pa, decided to
feast upon a goose that they had pur-
chased from farmer. The goose was
killed and in preparing it for the oven
Mrs. Taylor felt some very hard sub
stance in the fowls gizzard. Now this
aroused her curiosity, and when she
cleaned the gizzard she made q close
examination and found a piece of yell
low metal about the size Of nickel.
/ Curious to know what it was she
took it to the Bellefonte Trust Com
pany where it was decided that It
was what remained Of a SIS gold piece.
1t was worn entirely smooth on both
sides and all the milling was gone
from the edge. Inasmuch as the goose
was only about sixteen months old
and it could not have swallowed the
money before II was almost full grown,
H. is evident that the constant grind
in goose's gizzard will reduce al
most anything In due time.
AS matter of dollars and cents, the
coin will be sent to the Philadelphia
mint for appraisal to find out just how
much of its valuation remains, and then
1t will be up to mathematicians to cal
culate just how much gold that goose
used in its digestive functions daily.

ONE U.BoAT CRIME
PROVES TO Be HOAX
fattooed Sailor Disappears After
Election Excitement IN
England.

The finest hoax for many years was
perpetrated during the election cam
paign in Great Britain, and many
prospective members Of Parliament
feel rather sore on the subject.
On December statement appeared
In all the newspapers that a man
named Barton Mayberry, ship fire
man, had arrived at Newcastle bearing
on his cheeks tattoo marks represent
ing the heads Of serpents, which he
alleged had been inflicted by two sail
ors on the orders Of German SUBJ
marine commander In mid-Atlantic in
April, 1917.
Naturally full play was made by the
candidates of this outrage in their
"punish Germany" campaign and pic
lures purporting to show the mans
Disagreement were published in the
illustrated papers. The crime story
appealed strongly to the doubtful vot-
ers and many votes were changed.
The first intimation that the story
was a fake came when a few hours
after the polls had closed two news
paper readers compared copies of the
picture received from different parts
of the cotptry. Both pictures repre-
sented the same side of mans face
but the design was different in each
case.
The Prisoners Of War Committee in
vestigated the matter and ascertained
that on November IS Mayberry applied
for registration as seaman prepara-
tory to offering himself for employment
in the British mercantile marine, and
that in making his application he
stated that he had had no previous
sea experience. On being notified that
his registration certificate was ready
he disappeared and has been missing
ever since.

Winnipeg hospital physicians are
making new face for nine-year-old
Edgar Forbes of Rathwell. Man. The
boys face was reduced to pulp when
he was run over. by a sleigh. Every
bone was broken.
The experiment will be success.
according to the physicians. The bones
were reset and will mold, they say.
Four dentists, after days of expert
menting in the hospital laboratory,
completed an artificial palate for his
mouth.
When the boy was brought to the
hospital his face was unrecognizable.
Every bone was sunk in. Both eyes
were sunken. The bridge bones Of his
nose were smashed In many pieces,
and after an X-ray examination were
found lodged In his throat.
The boy will be able to see again,
although at present he Is blind in one
eye and scarcely able to distinguish
objects with the other. The eyeballs
were not injured.

CODE BOOK PLANTED
TO FOOL GERMANS
British NAVAL Secrets" Fall Into
Hands Of Enemy at
Zeebrugge.

Another good spy story has lust
been revealed on Admiral Sir REGINALD
Hall. chief OF the British naval spy
system. who recently resigned. It is
the story of the ''code book bluff," and
Is even better than the other anecdotes
concerning him.
1t was before the Zeebrugge opera.
tons began that Admiral Hall gave
instructions for the printing of a new
and elaborate code book. The book
was duly compiled. It was neatly
bound, and SO that it should not look
too new was carefully thumbed in
many pages. OF course all the codes
in the book were wrong and very mis-
leading to any German who might get
hold Of 1t. But that is what the ad-
miral wanted.
When the Zeebrugge raid was settled
upon and the Vindictive went over
with the blockships this valuable"
code book was carefully placed in one
Of the blockships where it was likely
to be quickly discovered.
The day after the raid the book was
found by the Huns. No doubt they
were delighted with such an important
find and thought that our men had had
no time to remove it before the ships
bottom was blown out.
A few days later, having given the
Germans time to digest the code,
carefully compiled message was
flashed across the channel and duly
picked up by the enemy. But 1t is
feared that 1t must have badly misled
them as to the intentions Of the British,

ohio, for example, provides that

within COO feet of an approaching au-

have said. bears an element Of danger
especially in country driving.
Michigan provides that motor We
hicles must display at least one light
in front and also calls for the dim

on the front of an automobile because
of possible confusion as to the char

Tilted Lights Remove
Menace of Auto Glare

What is the greatest unsolved fea-
ture of the automobile today?
That seems like silly question in
this Gay of advanced automobile con-
struction when practically everything,
it seems. that tends to serviceability,
dependability. comfort. beauty, and
efficiency, has been provided.
But up to this time there has been
one basic element in the driving of
an automopileethat has not kept pace
with automobile progress. That has
been in the matter of head-lamp
glare. the cause of many night acci-
dents to say nothing OF the strain on
nerves of car drivers and passengers,
solution for Glare.
Head-lamp glare is one of those
problems OF which the entire country
has been aware for years. The So
ciety of Illuminating Engineers. in q
report containing recommendations
based on scientific tests which were
embodied in New York States anti
glare law, the only scientific law of its
kind in the nation with the sole ex-
ception of California, which followed
New Yorl;'s precedent. pointed out
more than. a year ago that the ideal
solution OF the binding headlight
light by means of rontrollsble re-
Electors.
But the anti-glare problem has
been solved. ard along the lines
pointed out as ideal by the Society of
Illuminating Engineers.
The solution is in the tilted lights.
These lights have met every require
ment Of the New York State law 100
per cent. Frank b. Ansted, president
of Lexington Motor Company. says:
'One of the reasons the binding
glare menace has not been solved is
the failure of State and Government
authorities to get together and urge
unifrom laboratory and road test by
such recognized authority as the So
ciety of Illuminating Engineers. and
based on the recommendations OF this
body to pass uniform anti-glare law.
Head lamps. for driving at night
are just as essential as the motor it
self; in fact, more SO because proper
head lamps mean so much to the
safety and comfort of drivers, passen-
gers, and pedestrians. Most methods
of controlling headlamp glare do not
accomplish, IN country driving, the
purpose for which they are intended,
because they do not give sufficient
light. nor. in many cases, eliminate
glare.
Control Of BesmS.
at is just as dangerous TO have
motor vehicles travelling the roads at
night without proper illumination for
the driver as 1t is to have them run
without lights. SO the problem to
solve is to give the driver the light
necessary for absolutely clear vision
under ordinary circumstances. at the
same time controlling the projected
beam so as not to dazzle or blind the
other users of the highway, but also
in emergencies. to be able to control
this beam so that when the occasion
demands they may be projected dp4
ward and ahead to determine road
hazards.
What the country needs is definite
uniform action along the line | sug-
gcst, that this last undesira bic fen :
turc of the automobile may Re cIimi-
mated. A study of the laws in som
OF the States shows the utter lack OF
uniformity and the dangers of the sit
