MANY PERILS LURK
IN SHORTCUT HAIR

Bobbed hair is a sure means for
causing badness and it won't be
many years before the world is filled
with baldheaded women, Joseph
Byrne, editor of a beauty magazine,
said in addressing the annual con-
vention of the American Master
Hairdressers association last week in
New York.
Milliners, he explained, in order to
conform to present day hair style,
have been obliged to make head-bands
exceedingly tight to keep the hats
cn, resulting in the death of the hair.
Byrne asserted that girls of the pre-
sent generation would be bald before
they reached maturity
Charles Nestle, vice president of
the association. characterized the
bobbing of hair as the greatest mis-
fortune to come to women in recent
years."

cannot get to it and eat until 48
hours old. Keep the milk and water
inside the coop at first.
If you do not have any kind of
feed that you have tried out and are
satisfied with, the following feeds
and methods will prove satisfactory.
When the chicks are at least 48
hours old give them light feed of
rolled oats. Feed this to them on
shallow pans or papers to teach them
to eat. In this first feed also sprinkle
small handful of fine chick grit or
coarse sand. Remember that this grit
is the chicks teeth and it is very
important that it gets this in order
to grind up the feed that it eats.
Feed them five times a day with the
rolled oats but only what they will
clean up in about fifteen minutes.
Start in on about the fourth day to
mix with the rolled oats a chick
mash. Gradually make the change
from the rolled oats to the mash. At
the end of the first week start feed
ing a chick scratch twice a day in
stead of two of the mash feeds. This
makes it two feeds of scratch and
three of mash each day. At the end
of the second week you can put the

FEEDING OF BABY CHICKS

The most delicate stage of a
chickens life is the baby chick period
This means that great care must be
taken in raising chicks and getting
them past that critical age.
When, the chicks hatch put the hen
and chicks in a small coop, which
can be made from large dry goods
box, or a specially constructed A
shaped coop is very good. Place this
coop out in the yard and build a
small fence about it so that the
chicks can have aplace to scratch
and exercise. If it can be arranged
so that there is green grass of some
kind in this little plot much better
results will be obtained. If there is
no green stuff growing in the yard
you must cut some each day and
throw in to them. Young barley,
oats, lettuce, alfalfa or clover are
very good. Cut it up fine for them
at first.
The front of the coop should be
Slated so that the chicks can get out
but the hen must stay inside for
the first couple of weeks. Have the
stats about two inches apart so that
she can eat and drink through them.
If the hen could get out she would
be up early in the morning and get
the little chicks out into the damp
grass and get them wet, which would
result in the death of many. Also,
later in the day hawks might get
some of the chicks before they could
get to shelter. while if the mother
hen is kept in the coop they will
always stay near enough so that they
can get back to the coop in time Of
danger.
Keep a clean litter of straw or lay
on the floor of the coop for the chicks
to sleep on at night. Change this
litter whenever it becomes damp or
dirty. Spray the coop well with some
good disinfectant to get rid of all
mites and blue bugs.
Ii it is possible, keep sour milk or
buttermilk in front of the chicks at
all times. Fresh clean water should
also be i'll front OF them a. all times.
Put both the milk and water III some
kind of contalner the chicks cannot
get into.
Shade during the hot part If the
day is another essential thing for
baby chicks, This can be furnished
by stretching sacks over a frame
! work of some kind in the pen.
! Now comes the matter of feeding.
{ There are great many baby chick
feeds manufactured and Recommended
by feed companies. These feeds give
very good results if fed properly. Dc
not feed the chicks anything for at
least 48 hours after they are hatched
Remember now that the hen must
have feed all the time, and if ahe
does not get feed. at the time the
chicks hatch she sometimes yets
nervous and leaves the nest before
all the chicks are out. Place board
across the bottom of the opening in

work at home," Mrs. Reynolds con-
tinues. There's just one provision
that is important 1t is that the girl
can adhere to standard Of morality
which will always preclude loss Of
self-respect."
This is no preachment from pro-
fessional reformer. NOvela Routt
Reynolds has learned that IAN honest
code pays in the end from the many
sided business world that the Rey-
nolds Commercial school keeps her in
touch with.
World war need found Mrs. Rey-
nolds and other business women of
Tucson just as readily as if they had
hurried to Washington or New York.
It even brought legitimate prosperity
since her service lay in eQuipping an
unparalleled number of students for
government work.
Tucson holds, Mrs, Reynolds has
found, an extra appeal to the heart of
any employed woman who has a spark
Of the material fire. The hOrdes Of
health seekers need CHEEKY sugges-

arid surroundings, unaccustomed con-

nolds declares this chance for service
where service is so sorely and so con-
stantly, needed Is the most interesting
part of being a business woman in
Arizona.
Like many successful women, Mrs.
Reynolds has developed outside her
business an association that keeps her
in touch with what women are doing
everywhere. In her case the doorway
to world interests is membership in
the Daughters of the American Revo-
luton. She is historian, Tucson chap

done you should feed them scratch

to feed this scratch feed in fine

LABOR WANTS LEISURE
TO ENJOY LIFE

WASHINGTO(, D. c., Nov 13.-
Matthew Vol, vice president of
the American Federation of Labor,
told delegates to the eleventh re-
creation congress at Atlantic City
that labor wants leisure to live
and not to loaf.
Industry negleets the human
factor and American industrial and
commercial life ignores the finer
relationship of existance," said Mr..
Woll. Industry is becoming de-
humanized. The labor movement
and the recreation movement have
a common objective in the pursuit
Of happiness. We should work to
live and not live to work. The
prime purpose. of all work is to en-
able mankind to live happily"
Expressing approval Of the work

whose direction the recreation con-
gress was held, Mr.. Woll promised

WINTER BUILDING HAS
MANY ADVANTAGES

More and more is building indus
try changing from a seasonal to an
all-year round occupation. It is in
the interest of all concerned that this
change should take place.
Uuder present conditions, it is well
worthwhile for any person contem-
plating building to figure on winter
construction.
By so doing, he can avail himself
of labor without paying wage premi-
um which is often demanded when
spring or summer building activity
is in full swing. Winter building also
is of advantage to producing indus
tries, such as numbering, as it ena-
bles them to maintain operations at
more nearly normal level, employ
labor, and prevent price fluctuations
in their products due to rush orders.
A builder has the advantage of get
ting his mill work turned out when
sash and door factories are not crowd
ed and he can get better work done.
If you are planning on building,
don't wait until spring but consider
the advantage of winter construct
ion.

the Central Labor Bodies throughout
the country have taken action favor

could readily find good homes if paid
a reasonable pension not to exceed
$500 per annum, according to the
statements of the various superin-
tendents, and a much larger per cent,
according to interviews with the in
mates. We also found that the COM
bined salaries of the superintendents
of these institutions amount to $104,-
77S annually, attending physicians
$27,6 in salaries, while quite num-
Der are paid by the visit and about
$7S,406 is paid for extra help. The
superintendents, in addition to their
salaries, are furnished with a resi-
dence and living expenses.
"Of the 80 superintendents inter-
viewed, So favor old age pensions,
eight are opposed and 10 are doubt
full"
The committee points out that there
are a limited number of dependent
persons in each county who would
have to be cared for in some institu-
tions, but with a wise pension law dis
trict homes could care for the remain
ing few.
The committee reports that condi-
tions in the 80 county homes varied
from the very best to the most hor-
rible, largely dependent upon the
whims and capibility of county
supervisors and superintendents
"In such homes where the inmates
had nothing but praise for their super
intendent and the conditions surround
ing them it was a touching sight to
see how the old faces would light
with joy and hope at the suggestion
Of a pension that would enable them
to go home, however humble it might
be, and live and die among friends,

tions now lost to them forever"

PENSIONS MORE PROFITABLE THAN
UPKEEP OF COUNTY POOR HOUSES

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 13.-From a
coldblooded business standpoint and
which ignores every human impulse,
society would find it more profitable
to abolish it's poornouses and their
expensive upkeep, and pay dependent
poor a reasonable pension, is the be-
lief of the United Mine Workers
committee on old age pensions.
The committee made a personal
visit to more than four-fifth or the
county homes of Illinois. A large ma
iority of these supervisors of thse in
stitutions favor the pension plan.
In defense of their position, the
committee refers to Jasper county, in
the southern part of the state, which
has solved the problem by selling its
county farm and paying former in
mates a weekly pension of So, thus
saving money for the taxpayers and
creating happier conditions for its de-
pendent poor.
'The 80 homes visited" the COM
mittee says, comprise 14,417 acres of
land, valued at $2,565, ,425, with build
ings and furnishings valued at $6,-
176,279. In these institutions there
are, at the present time, 2,6s4 inmates.

mace which is, according to figures
furnished US. $3.50 per week, or

cost of $405.60 per annum. In addi-
ton to the sum, something should be
allowed for insurance and repairs, so
that we find the present system to be
a costly one, to say nothing Of the

INCOME TAX PUBLICITY
CREATES BOND DEMAND

NEW YORK, Nov Republication
Of income tax payments has increAs-
ed the demand for tax-exempt bonds.
These bonds are bringing rich returns
to brokers who have booted the price,
and the individual or corporation that
would keep their large incomes from
the public gaze is in a quandry. If
they fail to buy these tax-exempt
bonds their incomes will be known,
and if they buy the tax-exempts at
present prices their incomes will be
lowered.
