Simple methods and simplicity in
buildings, equipment, and rations have
much to do with the success of poultry
men, according to observations and
experiments made by the United States
Department Of Agriculture. There is
mistaken idea among many mex
perience,i poultry raisers that the
more elaborate the preparations made
for conducting plant or for caring
for small flock the better the chance
of success. The safer way is to keep
down expenses as much as possible
without interfering with the health,
comfort, and nourislment of the birds.
1t is natural to take pride in fine

tractive done ON bright crepe de chine.
Many are making or buying sleeveless
serge or velvet dresses; with these,
different embroidered flowing sleeves
may be worn which are set into a
separate guimpe.
Solid embroidery done in fine white
chenille on black is striking inter-
probation of the popular "black and
white" idea isee illustratlon.)
Applique of black velvet cut-out
leaves and flowers on black cloth is
effective on heavy coats. The designs
are securely buttonhole stitched with
black floss. Matched floss embroidery
on cloth coat sleeves in all-over pat

what it costs him to maintain flock

from the egg-laylng contests conducted
by the Farm bureau OF Santa Cruz,
has resulted In the formulation of a
rule that should be useful in arriving
at the approximate cost. This rule
may be expressed as follows: All
of the expense for maintaining flock
of laying hens, apart from the cost
of grain and mash but including mis-
cellaneous supplies, interest on invest
ment, depreciation, all labor but that
of the owner, etc., amounts to APP
proximately two-thirds Of the cost Of
the grain and mash. In other words,
the cost of the grain and mash is go

Frances Marion's original story.
THE Love Light, in which Mary
Pickford is seen at the Blackstone
theater is not only "a unique depar-
ture in line OF story for the World
Sweetheart" but a gripping drama
of unusual interest. Briefly, the story
Is as follows:
Angela Carlotti presides over the
house of her two orphaned brothers.
Antonio and Mario, in a little fishing
village bordering on the Mediter-
ranean in Northern Itaiy. Antonio
and Mario spend their days fishing
off the lighthouse. Angela caring for
the little stone house. the barnyards
and gardens. They are all young.
and. boylike the brothers slip as
much Of the work as possible upon
the apparently tireless shoulders OF
Angela. They have only TO remark
that a certain job is too hard for
any woman and Angela flies at il
and labOrs along, while they recline
in the shade. audibly marveling al
her strength and cleverness.
Angela is being courtcd by Clio

stead OF handing the nets and row

gela voices her contempt at his ap-
parent lack of patriotism. this de-
cides for Giovanni that ne should go.
