and women OF fashion. and because gove-wearing
is Of a social rite in France than in America.
1t is a tremendously revolutionary thing for
Frenchman to appear in public without gloves He
would almost as soon think of leaving off his hat
shoes.
The league is an organized protest against the
price and quality Of gloves Consumers resented
having to pay $40 pair for them and were moved
to PRACTICAL action when they learned that the gloves
being made deliberately TO out that
the would need less than three four
pairs in season. This passive resistance has al
ready resulted bringing the price down from
$40 "a pair TO 50.
There is prevalent belief that similar practices
with regard to the price and quality OF various
ticles of apparel have been not unknown in this
country. As result. there have been some organized
protests here of which the Overall Leagse" is the
most conspicuous example. There may be more, If

middle of May should be the latest
date for setting eggs and those who
have a reasonable number of chicks
slresdy hatched can well afford to
take good care of them and plan to do
better next year. OF course, whel q
the number is very small it might b.
welt to set more later the middle OF
day. but care ehould be exercised in
getting first litter eggs as explained
above.
June hatcbed chicks are hard ia
rsise. Hstches at that season are
usually very poor and warm weather
makes the conditions ideal for the at
tack of disease and insect pests. Lice.
mites. and chiggers are especially
active during the earlv summer and
cause heavy losses of late hatched
chicks. Even If raised to maturity,
birds hatched in June are of little val
ne. Few puIlets hatched in this month
make profitable layers and they are as
rule undsrsize. However, II the
case demands that more eggs be set
later than the middle of May, more
care with the chicks win have to be
guarded against with great caution.
