A trade trip to Torreon and the

suggested by Senior Jose Velarde. one
OF the Juarez visitors. Ample Mill

part OF the foreign business that they
should be. according to Senior Am

Juarez visitors. No more than half a
dozen FL Pas0 firms are giving this
particular problem thorough study. he
stated, and many thousands OF dollars
worth OF business is lost through this
neglect. A serious effort 10 meet this

RED CROSS LAYS A
FOR 1920
Substantial Sum Is to be KEEP, in Reserve N Case Of
Sudden Disaster

Out of a fund Of S3O,0OO,O00 available for its work this year, the
American Red Cross has set aside $l5yO0O,OO for European relief, S13-
100000 for use at home and $1250O0O for completing its program in
Siberia. aa4t. l.u.
In making public plans for carrying forward peace time activities,
DIR. Farrand, head of the organization, declared that a considerable reserve
must be held for emergency calls incident TO such possible events as the
opening Of Russia TO intercourse with the United States" This deter
minaton, DR.. Farrand said, a reached after long and full consideration
with government representatives in this country and Europe.
With appeals infinitely beyond its resources, and unable to count on
additions to its total fund during the year, the executive committee, DR..
Farrand said, found it "both wise and necessary TO consider the application
of its funds SO that the soundest possible sense of proportion might prevail"
All obligations to soldiers, sailors and their families must be provided
for, DR.. Farrand reported, while the Red Cross must be ready at the same
time to meet relief demands due to disasters.
Owe are pledged" he added, "to the establishment OF a peace-hme pro-
grem in America for which $13, 750O 600 will be made available. In con-
STEERING this item it must be kept clearly in mind that while expenditures
in this country arising directly out Of the war remain high they should
rapidly diminish, and while our work for establishment of peace-hme
undertakings will increase in some measure, this increase will be incon-
siderable as compared with the reduction Of war items"

Burgundians ut Arras In 141f. These

1471 Edward w. had 300 Flemlngs

a little later the Swiss armed 10000

tury. These rude firearms were at first
discharged by the application OF n
flaming torch. About 1917 the wheel
lock method came into use, and after
ward the flint was used, from 1862 un-
til the Scottish clergyman invented the
percussion principle of igniting gun
powder in muskets. by means of det-
onating powder. The fint-lock guns
were used by all the European armies
during the early period of the Napo-
leonic wars, and only n few guns en-
bodying Forsythe's invention were in
use n century ago.
Percussion caps were first generally
used about 1895.

DECIDING ON THE
BREED OF FOWL

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
A small flock of hens can be kept
with profit by many city jewellers who
have a back yard. Even as few as
eight or ten hens should produce eggs
enough, when used economically, for
n family of four or five persons
ing period of the fall and early winter.
Householders usually desire lot
only eggs for the table and for cook
ing. but also an occasional chicken TO
eat. For this reason n of the gen
eral-purpose breeds. such as Plymouth
Rock, Wyandotte, Rhode Island Red.
or Orpington. is preferable TO the
smaller egg breeds, such as the Leg
horns Not only do the mature fowls
of these breeds. because of their large
size. make better table fowls than the
Leghorns, but the young chickens for
the Same reason make better fryers
and roasters, whereas chickens of the
egg breeds are suitable only for the
smaller broilers.
The general-purpose breeds are also
''brocdy" breeds. the hens making
good sitters and mothers. which Is a
decided advantage when 1t Is desired
TO hatch and raise chickens. since the
hens of the egg breeds seldom 90
broody and are in any event rather
unreliable sitters and mothers. If.
however. the production OF eggs out
weighs the desire for an occasional
table fowl. the lighter egg breeds I'M
doubtedly will be found better. be-
cause they lay as many eggs and do
so on less feed. with the result that
they produce the eggs more cheaply.
II is by all mean advisable to keep
some pure breed or variety. Where
this Is done. sales at a profitable fig
ure can often be made OF breeding
stock intended for market. or Of eggs
for Matching.

Elder Ducks Pluck the Down;
Later Gathered for Export

Elder ducks breed i'm thousands on
some of the smaller islands off the
coast Of Iceland. The birds are so
tame that they will allow anyone 10
stroke their feathers or lift them from
their nests. This is because they are
protected for the down. which is a
large it.li OF export from Iceland. The
birds pluck the down from their
breasts to line their nests. When these
are well lined the ov ner of the land
takes the down from the nests. The
ducks take more down from their
breasts, and again ii is removed from
the nests. For the third time the
ducks pluck down from their breasts.
and this time they are not disturbed
till the eggs are hatched. then the re-
naming down is taken.-The Girls
