come, but the new enamel must be ap- piled with a spray, because it dries too quickly for brush use
 From their experiences to date the chemists who have developed the new enamel, make the following claims for it: It is not affected by sudden changes of temperature; it will not crack is sufficiently flexible to with stand shocks; forms a film that pre- vents moisture from getting at the in- ner coats of paint; dries rapidly, saving factory space and time; can be handled a few minutes after spraying; the colors are stable~ and it reduces the cost of painting. It must be understood that this enamel is applied over the customary paint coats, which it protects from mois- ture, etc. It is possible to give dull, semi-lustrous and lustrous finishes with the new enamel.
 Car owners will watch this develop ment with real interest. The new fin ish is not yet in commercial production. You cannot walk into paint shop and have it put on your car, but one of the big automobile companies is using 1t and if later results are as satisfactory as seems probable, you and l and all other motorists will be able to get a repaint job in a couple of days instead of two weeks. For which relief much thanks.

number of eggs laid in the preceding twelve months by given hen. Usually his estimate is within five or six of the actual number, recorded by means of a trapnest.
 Tt all comes from practice" he said "One must make observations from trap1 nesting and judge accordingly. And it isn't enough to say hen is long-headed or short-headed. One must see deep into her nature"
 Professor Foreman judges hens egg laying ability from three standpoints- intensity, or the number of eggs a month, endurance, or the number of months in. the year she can maintain her performance and interruptions, due to broodiness and other causes.

NEW YORK; Mar, 1:,Efom the exterior of a reclaimed and refiirhisked mansion on West Fifty eighth street, one might pardonably judge that here is A theatrical boarding house, for lean hams, probably -reeking with the. faSl- ancholy edor of hash Drowned potatoes and fried cabbage.
 In such house, you might well imagine, did SIisers Oakley put on his makeup that last time, then turn on the gas and fall sprawling across the trunk on which bis name was painted in clownish letters: t'Sliyers 7 m such house, defeated ' and disa ppoihtAd girls from rural high schools, who starred in the senior class pt0ducfion oss"East Lynne,y might be looking up the roadmaps of life to find the easiest way, after failing, to star on Broadway.
 x But it only, goes to prove that you can't tell whats going on behind the Q irscrutable walls of these mysterious old dewllings in New York. For this is the home of mirth, music, gaiety and all such as that, being the workshop of the. musical comedy guild, the only theatre guild ever formed in this town to write, compose and decorate musical comedies. In fact, it was not until a few seasons ago that musical comedies were premediated at all. ;y-

 Snch musical comedies as sIrene," "Poppy," Orange Blossoms" and "Wildflower," however, have showed unmistakable evidences of thought; in geunity and plot, and the fashion, which is a good one, is to be furthefed by the musical comedy. guild. Just how they set about it when they decide to do a musical comedy deliberately one doesn't know. Probably there isn't any strict plan as yet for it hasn't been done often enough to be formu- lated. ss-.5. T

 Miss Elsie Ferguson, who spent sey- eral years in the movies, came back to Broadway this week in a play which Miss Zoe Akins adapted from the Hungarian of Lagos Bir6, called, Moon Flower" Miss Ferguson escaped cen- sure but the cries have come to ex- pect such great things from Miss Akins that she isn't allowed to fall short of greatness any more. For that reason, the author of 'tMoon Flower'' has been rebuked with unanimity, although the same play by another author might have been treated less critically. j
 It is stated that this is the first of bouquet of three plays having floral names which are to come from Miss Akins' pen, the second to be known as Morning Glory" and the third as 'Hollyhocks." Moon Flower" is an exotic bloom but it seems too good to be seriously blighted by the slight frost of it's reception. The other two, to judge from their names, will be simple, sunbonnet things, perhaps dealing with the pure love of strong clear-minded man for q good wholesome girl.

Minister Expects Sweetheart Rooms To Bring Marriages
 In Proposed $4, 900, ,0O0 Skyscraper Church To Be Built On Washington Heights

NEW YORK, Feb. c.-In the pro- posed Broadway temple-a~ .$4, ,000, GOO ing--to be built on Washington Heights, the Rev. Dr. Christian F. Reisner, pastor, proposes to create ccurting center for the young people of upper New York.
 Dr. Reisner explained his plans for stimulating matrimony at luncheon at the Pennsylvania yesterday, attend ed by fifty women guests of the Wom- en's Auxiliary of the temple committee. Mrs. John Henry Hammond presided.
 It is Dr. Reisner's hope that the. 500 young men living in the projected dormitory may meet tha-s4attraetive young women of his parish and the community in the, ehufch's social

There we are going to relieve the young mothers with small incomes of their slavery to the babies. They can take them up to the day nursery on the roof, turn them over to competent supervisors and go downtown shop ping, t9 the theatre or stay at home and dotheir housework unhampered."
 Dr. Reisner is a "harpist," he says, on the idea of young couples rearing families. " n.
 You can't build a, home without babies," he asserted. 51"Without them 1t is only boarding house. Our roof garden playgrounds will be a little bit of heaven, away up in the purest air in Manhattan" ..t.
 The minister is searching hopefully for a wealthy man who will buy $500 900 worth of bonds to build the temple tower as a memorial to a son.
 Suppose John Smith," suggested Dr. Reisner, "who lost a boy, Charley, in the war, were to give $500,00G. The tower would be named the Charley Smith tower. John Smith would keep the bonds, and after they were paid off the income would provide half the room rent of 600 boys coming to town to make their start. The tower would be here for 1000 years as blessing to

 Most old bachelors" said the milit- ant Methodist pastor, "are bachelors because they can't meet, the right sort of girls. This is, particularly true in New York city, where so many young men and women are lonely. What we want to do is to- make it possible for the young men living in our dormitories to meet the girls of our neighborhood in social activities, gym classes, home talnnt plays and such affairs.
