Historic Church OF
Diocese Is Copied
Institutional Chapel in Geor-
gia Replica Of All Hal
lows Church, Snow
Hill, Md.

It is gratifying to have the historic
background of the Episcopal church
made prominent in these modern days
by recalling the good work rendered
by the Colonial clergy.
A striking instance fthis occur
red when a non-sectarian, The White
field Memorial Chapel, named for the
Rev George Whitefield, priest of the
Church of England, founder of the
Bethesda Orphanage for Boys in the
Colony Of Georgia in 1740, and rector
Of Christ Church, Savannah, from
1888 to 1746, was dedicated at Beth
esda on the afternoon of May l, by
the Rt. Rev. F. F. Reese, D. D., Bish-
op of Georgia.
The chapel is the gift of the Geor-
gia Society of Colonial Danes of
America, and stands as further wit
ness of the man who, moved by the
sight of destitute children in the
young colony of Georgia, and carry
ing out an idea conceived by his
friend, Rev. Charles Wesley, obtain
ed a grant of 500 acres as seat for
an orphanage, and, aided by Selma,
Countess of Huntingdon, and contri-
buttons from his preaching tour up
and down the colonies, founded Beth
esda, "House of Mrcy," the con-
tinuity of whose work has never been
broken.
There are over ninety boys now be-
ing cared for and educated at Beth
esda, and many who have left the
home have become fine citizens of the
city of Savannah and elsewhere. The
corner stone for the chapel was laid
by Bishop Reese in 1916 land because
of the War, theColonial Danes ceased
work until 1924, when active prepara-
tions were begun and the architects
Simons and Lapham, of Charleston,
S. c., we'll known as colonial and &C.
clesiastical architects, were engaged
to darw plans. The chapel was copied
from that of All Hallows', Snow Hill,
Maryland
Members of the Diocese of Easton
are aware of the beauty and pictur-
|esqueness of All Hallows', Snow Hill,
and it is most gratifying that this
pure example of colonial church ar
chitecture was recognized and copied
in the Whitefield Memorial Chapel of
the Bethesda Orphanage for Boys in
Savannah, Ga. A cut and description
of All Hallows' Church appeared in
the September issue of The Eastern
Shore Churchman.

w. Kenneth Cuyler, Of the zoology
department Of the University Of Texas,
having completely lost his sense of
smell. has taken advantage Of this un.
usual condition and hunted and studied
skunks for many years. He finds they
are easily tanned and make fine nous.
ers. Besides mice, they eat all sorts
Of things, from roots, berries and in
sects to birds and eggs, and some.
times rival the possum in their ability
to rob the chicken roost. The musk
which efficiently defends the skunk
from most people Is manufactured by
two egg-shaped glands with contractile
walls which can force out Jets In any
direction. even directly over the head
Of the skunk. These Jets break up into
fine spray and can reach an object
as distant as 20 feet. Mr.. Cuyler says
skunks are usually loath to waste their
musk and therefore do not discharge
1t promiscuously, but only when cor
nered and irritated. For removing
skunk odor, Mr.. Cuyler suggests wash
ing in gasoline or ammonia water, or
in water containing a few drops Of
carbolic acid and oil of wintergreen.
A much more effective method, which
he regularly uses, is to hold face and
hands or clothing for a few minutes
in the thick, heavy smoke produced by
placing green juniper branches on q
good fire.

is low, feed is cheap, the chickens
utilize the waste products of the
farm and destroy weeds and insects.
While poultry are always profitable
on a farm, they can be made more
profitable if they are given a reason
able amount of care and attention.
The average farm hen produces six
ty eggs year. She should produce
120. Profit depends on surplus pro-
duction. 1t takes certain number
of eggs to pay for her board and keep.
After that every egg she lays is
profit.
A hen will not lay eggs unless she is
comfortable and has a reasonable va
riety of feed.
Handle and market your eggs right.
Market the kind of eggs you would
want to buy if you were buying them
for your table. Have convenient
nesting places so the hens will not
lay in the grass and woods. Keep
the nests clean, gather the eggs every
day, keep them in cool, dry place,
and market them twice a week.
Improve your flock. Gull out the
poor stuff; build up good flock and
eventually keep one breed only.
A good hen house can be built at
very little cost. 1t should not be cold
dark and damp, but it can be made out
of any material, just so it is light,
clean, cheerful and comfortable.
The poultry house should be close
to the other buildings and easy to
clean. A low house is hard to work
in; high house is hard to keep clean.
Have plenty of light in the house
sunlight is good germ destroyer.
Leave all or part Of the south side
open to keep the house dry and we'll
ventilated. Allow no drafts. Keep
the house clean and free from ver-
min.
If you want winter eggs, duplicate
spring conditions. Variety is import
ant in the winter ration. Eggs can
not be produced unless the feed con-
tains the material from which eggs
are made. An egg is about 10 per cent
fat, Is per cent protein, IA per cent
water and 1 per cent ash, chiefly lime.
Grain, especially corn, furnishes the
heat and fat making foods; mill feeds
with milk or beef scrap, furnish the
protein. Some green food is neces-
sary in the winter time.
Give the hens all the water they
will drink; in the winter time warm
lit if possible. Furnish grit to grind
the feed and if possible oyster shell
for making the egg shell and char
coal as an aid to digestion.

Tigress Ready to Fight
Against Odds for Cubs

According to an authority on big
game, a tigress Is an excellent mother.
He says:
once saw tigress with two small
cubs, about the size Of fox hounds,
come out Of some heavy bush cover,
which was being beaten by three or
four elephants. The two cubs trotted
on ahead, and in order to cover their
retreat, the tigress twice charged the
line Of elephants, roaring loudly.
The cubs would probably have died

her bravery.
There were not many tigers about In
this particular neighborhOod, but strict
ly speaking 1t was probably most I'm
proper to spare her life, as game Was
scarce In that locality and this tigress
would therefore have probably edu-

tigress alone, or as q pair.
The tiger cub at birth is very small
in fact, not much bigger than q
large rat. Three or four cubs Is the
usual number, but as rule only two
Of litter grow up. I have once seen
four almost full-rown cubs and the
tgress all together. The cubs stay
with the mother until they are nearly
full grown. I have shot them In COM
papy with their mother when the male
cubs measured eight feet four inches
IN length and the females about seven
feet six inches. The average length of

feet six inches and Of the female,
about one foot less A tiger over ten
feet is an exceptionally large one. Ten
feet four inches was the length Of the
biggest ! ever shot, and the largest
tigress I ever saw was nine feet two
inches.
Ordinarily a tiger will kill only suf-
6cient animals for his own needs, and,
assuming that his kills are not re-
moved by the natives or devoured by
vultures. two kills weekly are quite
enough for him. A big male tiger is
quite noble-looking animal.

EVERY FARM NEEDS POULTRY
(By Zella Wigent)

Every farmer should raise poultry.
Practically every farmer does but
many of us do not give poultry rails
ing the attention we should.
Poultry raising nets an annual re-
turn in the United States of more than
half a billion dollars.
Over a very small part of this vast
sum is produced by the commercial
poultrymen of the country. Ninety
per cent of it is earned by the little
often neglected, flocks on the farms
Of the country.
Farm poultry is profitable because
the investment is small, the cost of
the labor needed to take care Of them

j. S. MAY ACT
IN COAL STRIKE

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-The un-
precedented cold weather which has
spread over the country has upset
all of the governments calculations
as to the coal supply, and federal
officials candidly admit that they will
probably be obliged to abandon their
hands off" pc licy as to the anthra-
cite coal strike.
Owing to the early cold spell great
inroads are already being made into
the coal stocks.
For the time being, the only move
in sight on the part of the admins
tration is the probable selection of
fuel administrator. His duties will
be confined largely to instructing
the public in the use of coal sub
stitutes
Secretary of Commerce Hoover and
the interstate commerce commission
believes that if the public under
stands the use of substitutes there
will be no suffering this winter from
lack of fuel.
Some congressional leaders have
candidly told President Coolidge that
the administration Is taking big
chance in letting the coal strike
drag along Indefinitely without act
ing to bring about an adjustment.

SECURITY PACT
BLOW TO REDS

MOSCOW, Oct 29.-The signature
of the security pact, which the So
yiets consider the first step in the
formation of a hostile alliance under
English guidance against Russia, has
not destroyed the SovietGerman
friendship based on the Rapalio
treaty. However. it makes any bet
terment of their relations extremely
difficult
This is the official view of Mos
cow expressed regarding the result
of the Locarno conference. The
conclusion of the security pact is ad
mittedly blow at Soviet plans, but
the impact is softened by the realiza
ton that Germany could not be dis
suaded in spite of Tchitcherin's Wis
it to Berlin and the hasty signing OF
the Russo-German treaty.
The consensus of opinion is that
the pact is an English victory, ending
the French hegemony on the CONT
nent, and transforming Germany into
pawn of English policy.

approval he is to give to recommen-
dations he made while he was as
