Get Clothes By New
 System
Better Service Through New Scheme to Collect for
 Laundries

Householders who send the weekly assortment of shirts and collars to the laundry with an awful suspicion that the garments will come back all shot to pieces will be much relieved to learn that the Laundry Owners association of this city has taken steps to provide better service.
 Notices were sent to customers to- day stating that a new system will be started next Monday. In the past, the statement reads. over 60 per cent of the patrons have sent their work to the laundry on Monday. This re- suited in the laundries being deluged with work in the early days of the week. The employees became dissat- isfied and poor service resulted.
 The new plan provides for an equal iZation of the work throughout the week. Each day a certain amount of work will be brought to the various plants and a certain amount deliv- cred to patrons. Each laundry will divide the total number of calls on each route into five equal parts. One fif-l will be collected each day be- ginning Monday and ending Friday There will be but one collection and enc delivery each week. Patrons will be told what day and hour the work will be called for and the bundle must te ready, otherwise father and the boys must buy new collars at 25 cents each until the 1aundryman calls the following week.

 THREE ARE FINED
Various Excuses Given Judge Explains School
 Law.

Louis Thomas, of 65 Park terrace. Angelo Magnetic, of Ss Green street and Ferinando Sendra, of 537 State street, who were arrested yesterday afternoon for failing to send their children to school were fined s5 apiece by Judge Frederic A. BratIett in the city court this morning.
 Thomas stated that his two daugh- ters, one nine and the other seven years old, could not attend school reg ularly because they had to remain at home to attend a three-year-old baby. Mrs. Thomas is employed in local factory, and the two children are left alone in the house during the day. The girls will attend school in the future.
 Magnetic explained that he did not send his 16-year-old son to school be- cause the boy refused to attend classes with smaller children Young Magnetic recently arrived in Bridge port from Italy, and could not take his place in classes with youngsters of his own age. He has been working in local factory.
 Sendra is the guardian of a 1s-year- old girl who is now in the third grade of a public school. It was stated this morning that the child was kept at home to work, and when she did att tend school she was so tired that she frequently fell asleep on her desk Sendar claimed that he wanted the girl to go to school regularly. but she was kept at home because her mother was sick, and unable to do house work.
 Judge Bartlett explained the public must. attend school sessions regularly lin the future unless they secured 9 working permit from the authorities.

SENATE'S ACTION
 LIKELY ID HASTEN
 PARISNEG0TIATI0NS
Failure to Ratify Has Not Changed Existing Status. of Relations Between U. s. and Germany--Spain Cares For Our Interests There.

Washington, Nov. 2O-Al- though not changing technical iy the existing status of rela- lions between the United States and Germany, the Sen ate's failure to ratify the peace treaty at it's special session is expected by administration of ficials and diplomats to have an indirect result of some im- portance on the steps now be- ing taken to restore the world to a peace basis.
 One of the first consequences, ac- cording to the view taken here, is likely to be the hastening of the ne gotiations m Paris. including pro- mitigation of the proces verbale. which will restore full commercial and diplomatic relations between Ger many and the powers which have ratified the treaty. Paris despestches have said this step was waiting, for one thing, on the action of the Senate, but it is thought there will be no further delay now of that reason.
 The new congress will meet on De- cember l, but not even the most ar dent supporters of the treaty believe t would be possible to take it up again at the outset of the session, The Christmas recess was expected tC intervene before much could be ac- complished, with the result that a clear field for treaty consideration would not be opened before January at the earliest.
 Once the other great powers have gone ahead with their establishment with full trade and diplomatic rela- tions with Germany, officials say, new arrangements will have to be made by the United States to fit into the commercial scheme thus created whatever trade with the United States has with the central powers.

MOST ANCIENT
 FL|M-FLAM IS
 CLEvERLY DONE
Melas Lost Entire Savings of $500 to Tricky
 Strangers.

Failing to detect the old hand kerchief trick" which is probably the most ancient fIim-flan game in the world, Gabriel Milas, of 3S5 State street fell into the clutches of two clever strangers this morning, and Is now mourning the loss of $500 which constituted his entire savings.
 According to the police story. Milas met a man at the corner of State and Broad street about o'clock this morning, and was hypnotized when the stranger showed him a roll of money containing a number of items" and "twenties." The slick gentleman confided to Milas, that he was a stranger in town, and he had s3,000 which he wished to deposit with some man he could trust. Milas offered to accommodate the stranger, and to show his good intentions drew his entire savings, $500 out of the Ffrst-Bridgeport National bank.
 A short time later he met his new found friend on the street, and the gentleman this time was in company with another man who was also a stranger to Mi1as. The first man asked to see the $500 ,and Milas will ingly handed over the coin. The stranger placed the $500 with his own "$3,O00," and then handed the entire bankrol1 to Milas.
 The victim unfastened the hand kerchief in which the money was wrapped about two hours later, and discovered much to his consternation that the cash had turned into a wad of worthless paper. Milas reported to the police immediately, but was unable to give any description of the strangers except that they looked like Spaniards, and one was rather stout.

was said, they were considering de- tails of a wage and condition agree ment. The miners were reported to have receded from their proposal for local adjudication of disputes rising out of the general agreement. This, it was said, would prevent sporadic labor difficulties in localities after an agreement had been negotiated.
 Operators, however, still were with holding a definite counter-proposal to the miners demands for the 30- hour week and 60 per cent. increase in wages. but it was understood they were prepared to offer some wage in creases

FERTILITY IN DEAD LEAVES
Contain Large Amount Of Potash and
Are Useful as Mulch or Fertil-
izer for Garden.

Because leaves contain relatively
large amounts of potash, chemists at
the Ohio Experiment Station point out
the economy of using leaves as
mulch or fertilizer for the garden,
rather than burning them in the
streets or cutters. They show that
100 pounds Of leaves are worth about
sc cents for their fertllizing value.
When leaves are burnt the ash still
contains n considerable amount of fer
tilizing materials; but as the ashes
are generally swept away by the wind
or washed away by the water, their
value is lost. To secure the best re-
suits from leaves as fertilizer, 1t Is
best to pile them in the garden and
let them furnish n mulch for the
ground during the winter; then they
may be spaded in the spring and In
corporated with the soil.

REARRANGE PERCHES
IN CHICKEN HOUSES
See That Roosts Meet Require
ments of Various Fowls. =.
Birds Of Heavy. Large Breeds Should
Not Be Compelled to Jump Too
Far-Dangerous to Permit Hens
to Crowd at Night.

When making readjustments in the
poultry houses 1t is always well to
look over the perches and see if they
meet the requirements of the birds. If
fowls are of the heavy, large breeds the
perches should not be as high. for
many i'll effects are the result of.jump-
ing from high perches. The lighter
weight fowls are usually better flyers
and can assist themselves in getting
up and down much better than can the
heavy ones. The two kinds should
never be kept in the same house Mt
night If for no other reason than the
above, says n writer in an exchange.
The height of the perches also brings
trouble if every one is not ON the same
level. In endeavoring to secure the
safest place in the house all fowls will
try to reach the highest perch and the
lower ones are practically useless ex-
cept to the ones that could not fight
their way higher.
Always aim to have the perches Mt
the same height and have room enough
on them to avoid crowding. There are
dangers in crowding the hens at night,
to say nothing of this discomfort. No
hen likes to be uncomfortable, nor does
any animal. in fact, and If we make
domestic fowls of the hens we must
give them the privileges and liberties.
MS nearly as we can, resembling that
of their natural state.
High jumping from the roosts is
likely to injure the legs of the hens,
and If the birds have not attained
their growth they will be more liable
to deformities. 1t is the natural in
stinct of the fowls to want to roost
high, away, as they suppose. from
their enemies, as they do in the wild
state; and while rats should not be
permitted to infest the houses there is
less danger from them when the fowls
are high up. Then, too. the little
streams of air Chat should not be al
lowed to flow in on the hens). will do
less damage If the roosts are not too
low. While very high roosts are disap-
proved of it is, nevertheless, advan-
tageous to have them high enough so
that the birds may feel safe and at
the same time have them on the level
for the whole flock that inhabits the
one house.

HOW

result. Attend to it at once. Don't

excessive carbohydrate ration. After
freshening. they should be worked up
to full feed very gradually, receiving
all the roughage they care to consume
without waste; alfalfa or clover hay
fed in connection with silage or roots
being very good combination.
Amount of Grain to Feed.
The grain should be light in char
acter to begin with and gradually
changed to a mixture of grains that
will supplement the, roughage; 300
pounds ground oats, 300 pounds ground
corn, 100 pounds wheat bran and 100
pounds gluten feed being good com
bination to go with the roughage men,
toned above. The grain can be in
creased fraction of n pound day so
long as there is an increase in the
milk flow, but as soon as there Is no
response to the increase it must be cut
down until there is falling OFF in the
milk flow and then the increase may
be begun again. When on full feed
they will be consuming about one
pound of grain to every 31A pounds of
milk produced.
In the absence of silage or roots,
dried beet pulp may be used. but If
none of these are available or are too
high in price, oilmeal can be used In
the grain mixture to advantage. In
the absence of silage and roots, the
COWS will consume n large quantity of
alfalfa. Sometimes 1t is advisable to
chaff and mosten portion of it when
fed under these conditions.
