All of us who are members of the
Ied Cross will have a comfortable
sense of having helped along in the
many constructive activities that are
engaging that great organization now.
Measured by wartime achievements
the work of relieving suffering and dis
tress in the future will be better done
by the Red Cross than by any other
means, for that is the business of the
organization 1t has a comprehensive
outlook and knows what is needed and
its methods nave been tried by expert

British armies have driven the Turks
out of the Holy land. The American
Red Cross is helping to drive distress
out of the same territory.
On an average of $4,000 queries are
handled every week by the bureau of
communications of the Red Cross. This
bureau keeps soldiers in the field in
touch with their families.
The ideal waiter has been found. An
American Red Cross canteen worker
declares that he has personally met
and fed 10000 American soldiers In
the last four months.
The repatries are one more arriving
at Evian les Bains. About $4,000 have
come into this little frontier town in
the past two months, 1t is estimated
by the American Red Cross.
Salvatore Filippo Of Erie, Pa. an
American soldier boy who was almost
blinded by a shrapnel wound, Is going
to make a will leaving all his money
to the American Red Cross. He con-
veyed this information to Henry p.
Dawson, chairman of the war council
of the American Red Cross, on the oc-
casion of a recent visit by Mr.. Dawson
to n local hospital where wounded
Americans r being cared for. Mr..
Dawson talked with scores of patients
and askedt them If there was anything
his organization could do to make them
more comfortable. He was deeply
touched with the fine spirit shown by
h American boys n particularly
with Filippo's generous regard for his
soldier companions.

this connection that the man of the

which were fed to the hens, and which
undoubtedly contributed greatly to the
favorable egg production.
1t will be noted hat this city flock

Backyard flocks should be properly
housed, and where possible, should be
provided with a covered run for use

illustration above, is suggested as fill

FIRST PRINTING BY STEAM
Date in November, 1914, Is One
Worthy of Remembrance by All
the Civilized World.

The 10Th of November, 1914, forms
IN important date Ii the history of
printing. and consequently in that of
civilization. 1t was the day on which
a newspaper was for the first time
printed by steam, instead of manual
power. The common printing press,
though much improved during the sec
ond half of the last century. could sell
dom strike off more thar 200 or 300
impressions per hour, with one man
to ink the type and another to work
the press. 1t was the enterprise of
the London Times that enabled invent
ors to surmount the difficulties of ap-
plying steam to printing presses. In
1903. the edition of 5000, which was
its daily issue, tool many hours to
strike off. Thomas Martyr, a compos-
itor on the paper. produced a model
for q self-acting machine for work
ing the press, and John Walter, the
proprietor, supplied him with money
to continue his labors. The press
men were hostile to such innovation,
and Martyr "a placed In fear Of his
life, and as Walter did not possess
large capital, the schemes fell to the
ground. AS his %pecuniary means in
creased, Walter encouraged invention.
Finally, in 1914, the Koenig patent
was tried secretly for fear of the press
men, on the Doth of November. the
night on which the machine was
brought into use. It a about six
in the morning when Walter went into
the pressroom and astonished its occu-
pants by telling them that the Times
was already printed by steam; II they
attempted violence there was a force
TO suppress it; but If they were peace
able their wages should be continued.
Thus was the most hazardous enter
prise carried through and printing by
steam given to the world.

the oldest features in the old town. al
though their actual waters may have
been ever the most transient of visit

der yoke hat continues popular.
Round pearl buttons fasten the plain
cuffs and the front of the blouse. But
the collar departs from the plain ways
of the cuffs and follows the frilly fash
ions. 1t is a hemstitched turnover of
fine plaits. Attention is conferred on
1t by a narrow velvet tie.
1t is a good idea to leave some things
to the Imagination and among them
are a good many threats. 1t will have
to be conceded that the high-necked
waist covers up a multitude OF defects
and is especially kind to older women
for 1t is in the throat that age is first
apparent.

SCRAPS MAKE EGGS

There is q certain amount of
table scraps and kitchen waste
which has feeding value but
which, if not fed, finds It's way
into the garbage pail, in every
household, no matter how eco
nomical the housewife.
Poultry is the only class of
domestic animals which is suit
able for converting this waste
material, right where it is pro-
duced in the city, into whole
some and nutritious food In the
form of eggs and poultry meat.

Hints on Marketing Esss.

Uniform products command the best
prices. Pure-bred fowls produce mi
form products.
Begin marketing the cockerels as
as they weigh one and one-half
pounds or attain d marketable weight.
Market white-shelled and brown
shelled eggs in separate packages.
When selling eggs to the country
merchant or cash buyer, insist that the
transaction be on the quality basis.
Ship or deliver eggs twice oil three
times weekly.
Small or dirty eggs should be used
at home.
Infertile eggs will Withstand mar
keting conditions much better than
fertile eggs.

New Nestees.

New vestees of tr~icolette silk or wool
jersey are very smart. They are to be
worn with long sashes draped well at
one hip and hanging with long fringed
ends. Naturally they are expensive,
but they can be made at home, since 1t
is possible to buy the materials by the
yard. and thus made the cost is much
reduced. This woven-knittsd stuff lasts
a lifetime and comes In lovely colors.

Cheaper Than Beef.

In many parts of the country, espe-
cially on farms, chicken is probably
much cheaper than beef, as only the
cost Of production needs to be con-
sidered. When chickens. and, for that
matter, any poultry, can be raised
with little labor and can find most of
their food, or use up otherwise use
less table refuse, skim milk, ETC., they
ought to be a very economical and
agreeable substitute for pork and beef
and should be used literally.

Kind of Fowls 10 Keep.

H~ouseholders usually desire not only
eggs for the table and for cooking, but
also an occasional chicken to eat. For
this reason one of the general-purpose
breeds, such as the Plymouth Rock.
Wyandotte, Rhode Island Red, or Or
pington, is preferable to the smaller
egg breeds. such as the Leghorns. Not
only do the mature fowls Of these
breeds, because of their larger size,
make better table fowls than the Leg
horns, but the young chickens for the
same reason make better friers and
roasters, whereas chickens of the egg
breeds are only suitable for the small
Ter broilers.

Poultry More PopuIar.

The rapid increase in the amount
of poultry raised for the table in his
country is strong proof that It is be-
coming more and more popular. and
although 1t may not deserve its
larity on the grounds of strict econ
omy' 1t certainly does earn 1t by its
attractive flavor. easy digestibiiity.
and the pleasant variety 1t gives to our
meat list.

Gull out and prepare for market all
fowls, old or young. which appear
weak, slow or dull; fowls with droop-

shaped heads; all scrubs except these
which have laying points; all hens
which mott early; and all males ex-

Darts.

Darts are not an unknown feature
of the frock of the moment How
ever, darts nowadays are not used to
emphasize the pinched-in waist. but
rather to shape the fabric at the
shoulders and bust. They are quite
obvious, and are outlined with en-
broldery and pointed with embroid-
cred dart heads at the end.

eligible to participate in the policies and
purposes of that union. There can be little

be representative Of the powerful peoples OF

Germany must come into the confederation
There is more or less developed senti-
ment that is opposed to such program II
is reflected in many of the recent dispatches
from abroad particularly those that orig
mate in purely French circles. The British
press is divided. apparently upon the cues
tion and even in America there is diverg-
ence of opinion The view is expressed by
those who hold such convictions that the time
will not come within the life of this genera
ton when Germany will be ut to associate
with the enemies it has made; that il is
morally impossible for it to set up regime
that will meet international responsibilities
and that it should remain an outcast for
