None of the larger newspapers print

ENGLISH ART Is
EPITOMIzED IN .
NEWDOLL HOUSE
Model Home In Miniature
Serves AS Example Of
&. Best Handicraft

Leading English artists, authors and
craftsmen, working under the stimulus
of Princess Marie Louise and Sir Ed
win Lutyens, r. A., have been busy for
two years preparing a model home in
miniature for presentation TO the
Queen, says the Manchester Guardian.
Her majesty already possesses one
doll house," which dates from about
1880. It was given to her by her
mother, the Duchess of Teck, and con-
sists of six rooms, containing between
200 and 800, pieces of furniture gifts
and purchases extending over several
years, arranged by the Queen herself,
who lent the house to the London mu-
scum in 1920 for an indefinite period.
A few days>ago Queen Mary inspect
ed her new gift, now practically COM
plete dowpstos the running Of its water
and electric elevators. and the filling
of the 1astzsap in its Lilliputian library;
and expressed che keenest appreciation
of its manifold wonders.
The Queens new doll house, with its
rich treasures of art and literature,
possesses amazing perfection and his
tofical accuracy. Full justice, in the
way of n record, will be possible only in
an official one, which Messrs. Methuen
have in preparation in two sumptuous
volumes, entitled, THE Book of the
Queens Dolls House" Meantime it is
feasible, from the prospectus of the
work, to form some idea of the wonders
of this modern home of enchantment.
Book Profits To Charity
The book is the personal property Of
her majesty, who will distribute the
profits in such manner as she thinks
fit. 1t is being produced in a style de-
signed to represent the highest standard
of modern English book production, just
as the dolls house itself is intended to
serve as a model of contemporary do
nestle architecture, as well as per-
manent record of the furnishing and
decorating of the kind of mansion, in
which the King and Queen of England
might live in 1924.

importance were read at the meeting
of the Syrian Young Mems society held
Wednesday night at their club rooms,
before large attendance.
The first communication from Mrs.

Harding Memorial fund, the amount
being the society's donation to the
fund.
The third matter was a letter to
Senator Underwood requesting a time
and place when he could address the
society on the essentials of good
citizenship.
Acommittee was appointed to con-
duct school of training, having for
its purpose the teaching of the prin-
ciples of the United States government

POULTRY
PARAGRAPHS
Poultry Information, Written
From Experience, By
An Ex-Poultryman.

What is being exploited in this
country as Turkens. is being promoted
in England as Churkey.
The only mysterious thing about
these birds is their name.
-
They are unique in having naked
necks, that is necks devoid OF
feathers.
The breed is just plain chicken"
no cross or hybrid and has been
known in Pennsylvania for generations.
The American name OF Turkcn or
Turk-hen. suggesting a cross OF two
species. by which fertile offspring
has been produced. is too violent a
suggestion to meet with approval Of
practical poultrymen.
The criticism of poultry authorities
is on the name given the breed by
American exploiters which is decep-
tive.
NAKED NECK. not Turken. is the
appellation by which the breed should
be designated.
Growing chix one week old or
older, will greatly relish and be bane-
fitted by having a shallow box full of

But be very sure the oats are clean
and free from mold or must.
After they have picked them over
thoroughly. remove all the sprouts
that remain.
These may be given to adult fowls
but should not again be given to the
young chix.
