of the show of similar nature staged
by the Shrine last Spring, but more
pretentious and artistic, will open
Wednesday at Convention Hall. The
proceeds will be applied to the
Shrine's Christmas charity fund.
Nationally famous beauties have
been corraled from every section of
the United States and Alaska to dis
play the latest fashion creations. The
exhibits will be varied in scope and
will represent virtually every State
in the Union and all foreign coun-
tries.
Hall Elnborntely Decorated.
Convention Hall has been elabo-
rately and artistically decorated for
the show. A silken canopy of ORR
entail splendor covers the barren CELL
ing. Tapestries from the looms of
Belgium hang from the walls.
Among the varied exhibits will be
automobiles of American and English
manufacture, wool from the famous
sheep of Australia and jewels fash
ioned on the Rue de Rivoli. Plumes
from the forests of South America
will be used to embelliSh the head
gear of the beauties in the fashion
revue.
The fashion revue has been divided
into four scenes Sport and business
clothes will comprise one scene; the
embassy tea, featuring a hostess
frock of rust colored crepe and .
black and fame gown with lynx trim
med black coat another; scenes in
the boudoir another. and official re-
ception and balls the fourth. In the
sports section, in which the ensem-

black chiffon velvet with ostrich
trimming will be the leading features
of the boudoir scene. while black
satin dance frocks with corsage of
large chiffon roses and a gold lace
the most striking of the evening
dresses. A feature which will be of
special interest to women will be the
general predominance of white, the
leading shade of the season.
Believing that the men will not
be as interested in the fashion revue
as the women, the management has
arranged especially TOT tnem pro-
gram Of four feature acts with stars
from the Music Box Revue and Zieg-
field F'ollies in the stellar roles Alter
mating with the dress parades will
be songs by Nine Edith Helena Of
Chicago Opera Company fame.
Harry F.. Cary. illustrious potentate
of the Shrine. who is mainly respon-
sible for the exposition and fashion
revue, expressed the hope last night
that the show will succeed in the
treble purpose of affording amuse-
ment and entertainment to all visi-
tors at Convention Hall, Of providing
the local merchants a unique oppor-
tunity to show their Christmas wares
well in advance of the season, and
raise such a sum as will enable the
Shrine to take care of the poor of
the District at Christmas time on an
unprecedented scale.

EGG MARKETING SUGGESTION
Ey c.. L. Stevenson

Many poultrymen and dealers who
are marketing South Dakota egg.
| through the eastern centers are meet
ing with the embarrassing experience
OF having their products discounted
because OF inferior size.
1t is quite evident that a surpri.
lngly large percentage of the egg.
produced in this section, are under
standard weight. The market demands
a weight OF two ounces per e9g or a
ounces per dozen, or 45 pounds net
for 30dozen case. There is no ad.
vantage in producing eggs that ex.
cced q ounces per dozen, but there
is real loss if they fall below this
standard.
This marketing handicap should
give our poultrymen considerable con
cern. However, it is condition
which IL q large measure may be rem
edicd. All breeders should be urged
TO use mature hens in breeding pcny
and thereby insure larger eggs and
larger and stronger chicks. Pullets
that have reached the producing age
IN the fall usually Law heavily up to
and through the breeding season and
as consequence their eggs are often
weak in fertility and hatchin~ Oual
ity. If birds are hatched SO late they
do not start laying till the breeding
season opens, their eggs will Nbe un
dersi2ed and have n tendency TO
hatch out chicks that are more or less
stunted or runty, like the parents
and in turn lay the small underweight
eggs which the market spurns.
{ The size of the egg is in a large
measure an inheritance, hence in sc.
icctig eggs for Matching, only the egg,
up to standard weight should be
taken. Often mature hens lay small
eGgs--Gnd these birds are often the
J eaviest layers-but if one accepts
such eggs for Matching he is just per
Eetuatine small egg strain.
The Tongrel flock Of all sizes, types
and colors, is great drawback to
The production Of uniform market
able product. Eggs from such flccks
vary greatly in size and color and odd
much TO the costs for sorting, grading
and packing.
Much Of the problem Of the snail
CO may be solved If all poultrvmen
will cooperate in selecting old hens
for breeders, hatching stock early to
get a good Growth and development
before the cold Of winter comes, using
only market size eggs for hatchino
and boosting for more good standard
bred poultry to replace the mongrel
rlocks now so numerous on the farms
Of the state.
