.litor of The Journal:

To the Editor Of The Journal:
Your suggestion, editorially in
Saturdays issue of The Journal
that the City of Martinsburg should
have the hearty cooperation of its
property owners in financing the
ravng, is both very timely and i'm.
Dortant. Timely, because the sug-
gestion made at this time will give
those who might be Indifferent as
to the finishing Of the streets now
under construction, plenty of time
to consider, or reconsider, the mat
ter before it is too late; and i'm
portant, because the time to do any
thing and everything is now. while
labor is not only plentiful but rea-
sonably cheap. Furthermore. to
abandon the work now. for any rea-
son. and have the streets Of Mar
tnsburg looking like a nlowed field
as at present, would in my opinion
be 4 colossal blunder.
It behooyes the citizens of Mar
tinsburg. therefore, to get together

paved and finished. for when this
is done N5rtinsburg will he the

FEEDING TESTS WITH FOWLS
Mixture Of Bran, middIinas, Meat
Scrap and Corn Meal Is Ideal
for Producing Eggs.

As a result of eight years feeding
tests at the United States Department
OF Agriculture poultry yards at Belts
Vile. Md. n mash feed has been com
pounded which gives uniform high
egg production. This mash, which has
been tested for three years is made
of 4 per cent bran, per cent mid
dlIngs, 26 per cent meat scrap. and
66 per cent cornmeal. In the expert
ments the hens were allowed TO select
their own mash ingredients. This ia
the proportion Of those different feeds
which they ate during the year.
Several pens Of 30 hens each. both OF
Leghorns and OF Rhode Island Reds,
have averaged from 40 10 $50 eggs
apiece while this mash was fed. While
the mash seems 70 be especially adapt
ed for Leghorns, IL has given very
GOOD results with Reds. WyandOttes
and Plymouth Rocks were found 10

somewhat lower In meat scrap has
given better results with these breeds.

BLEND OF COLORS.
Delightful Shadings Features OF
Knitted Costumes.
Suits of Plain Skirts and SIip-On Top
Portion-Dress and Cape
Combinations.

Delightful color blends in wool and
silk and wool mixtures are a feature
OF the new knitted costumes. Suits
composed of plain skirts and slip-on
top portion, dress and cape combina-
lions, and new notes in sweater NUM-
bers are among the points of especial
interest.
Lavender and brown are blended in
a most effective heather mixture in
dress and cape costume of Heigh do
knitted cloth. The dress is straight
line with a few inset side gathers,
tends from either side Of the front
panel. The sleeves are full length
with a slightly flared line, while the
neck slit is bound in self material, en-
abling the wearer TO adjust the collar
to- either a high neckline or turned
back effect The distinguishing fea-
ture, however, is seen in the cape OF
the same material, collared in
straight band of beaver. The cape
dips slightly at the back and ties at
the neckline in front.
The smart French woman, it is said,
when she removes this cape from
about the neck, ties it at the waist
line in front. The gathers at the back
and the graceful dip which makes the
garment longer than the skirt length
impart most effective lines to the cos
tune.
A two-piece suit of a shade between
brown and henna is banded at the
skirt edge and about the coat in mar
row silk strips of bright orange, the
tie at the neck and belt being of the
same inspiration.
All silk sweaters carry out this
theme of bright color bands, as noted

Condition Determined on Arrival.
If really damaged, the shipper wants
TO know to what amount. Was the
whole load affected? What was the
actual condition on arrival? Was the
loss due to bad handling and packing
or TO delay or neglect by the trans
portation company or by the receiver?
Was the cause a disease which may
develop also in the rest of the crop?
Some of these questions interest the
receiver and the railways, as well as
the shipper or producer. No one cares
to assume blame and incpr loss for
what happened TO the produce while
1t was in the hands of others. How
can all these questions be settled with
out undue expense or delay?
