WEARS FIRST SOCKS
AT D|SCARDS EN-.
Annoying" Says 0hioan-De.
clines to Experiment With
Underwear.

MARTINS FERRY. Ohio. April "a
William Coss. sr., city auditor. sixty
Ave. wore his first pair of socks yes
terday and last night discarded them
because they were very annoying"
The socks. with a suit of underwe ear,
were presented to Mr.. Coss by a
friend. who persuaded him to try
wearing them. Coss has not, in his
sixty-nve years of life. worn either
socks or underwear. To humor his
friend he "tried" the socks, stating
that he would see hot he liked them
before taking cnance with the I'M
derwear. After donning the socks
yesterday Coss was in misery. All
day long in his office he was Ill at
ease and finally told one Of his friends
that he would see how he liked them
socks" When asked his reasons for
disliking them, he said: They are
very annoying. don't feel right with
them on my feet and I am not going
to have them there after today And
he did not.
Coss. although wen on his way to
the Biblical figure Of threescore and
ten, Is one of the healthiest men in the
city. He is unusually robust for a
man of his age and rarely has been
Ill. Despite all conventions he would
never don either socks or underwear
and, now that he has tried wearing
the former he emphatically declares
that he wants nothing to do with
either in the future.

'CH|NLESS PERSONS

Vocational Adviser Sees Affinity
Between Lower Jaw and

BALTIMORE. April 2s.-Chinless
individuals. or those whose lower
Jaws are not we'll denned. are not to
be depended upon for sustained eff
fort and should be in oocupati tons
where there are frequent rest periods
or variation In the character OF

This was tho opinion of Mrs. Ethel
Spalding Slater. vocational adviser.
who has spent years In the study OF
men and women in relation to labor
problems. Mrs. Slater addressed the
Baltimore Council. Industrial Rela-
lions Associations of America. at the
City Club last night.
Short-chinned people, said Mrs.
Slater, are more prone to colds, pneu-

Mrs. Slater said she spent two
years as organist at the Maryland
Penitentiary and tho City Jail In or
der to make q study of the criminal
classes, and stated she discovered
that nearly all mon in those insti-
buttons were bodily weak. but had
bright minds. Their bodies. she said,
had not developed along with their

to criminal tendencies. due to i'm

conditions upon lack OF proper diet
and training during the formative
period of the individual.

market eggs or fowls or breeding
stock in it's several branches.
School Poultry Plants.
Many high schools and graded
schools have established in connec-
tion with their regular curriculum a
course in poultry husbandry and
managing poultry plant on the
school grounds so that the children
can take an active part in the i'm
provement of the school flock. This
system not only creates an interest
and knowledge among the children as
to the Importance Of poultry keeping,
but in almost every instance acts as
community poultry center, placing
before the patrons Of the school an
idea of what constitutes proper poul-
try equipment and management.
Poultry Clubs and Exhibits.
A continuous effort has been made
to encourage and develop exhibits
among the boys and girls of the fowls
actually raised on their respective
plants. During the past year 712 such
exhibits were held, and 1914 birds
were shown by 5,615 members. In ad-
dition, these members exhibited 2,767
dozens of eggs. There was distribut-
ed at these fairs in special and cash
prizes over $4,000.
Results.
During 1919 poultry clubs were or
ganized by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture poultry specialists
in seven states, including North Car
olina, Oklahoma. Missouri, Kansas,
Iowa, South Carolina and Tennessee;
1,1S6 such clubs have been established
in 265 counties with an enrolment Of
29.4SO members. From the reports
submitted by over $4,000 Of these
members it will be shown that they set
731, TOT eggs, from which 51O,252
chicks were Matched, and 459,252 fowls
were raised to maturity. During this
period these members produced $493,-
719.36 in poultry and eggs. When 1t is
considered that this amount of poultry
products was produced by less than
one-half the number of members en-
rolled, 1t is reasonable to assume that
the total value of poultry products
produced by all members amounted to
considerably over a half million of
dollars.
