NEW USE FOR
COPPER IS
FOUND
Draperies and Screens for
the Home May Be Made
From Copper Mesh.

Comes now the fire screen portiere
from Arizona's advertising of it's fam
GUS metal.
Last week the Yavapai County
Chamber of Commerce received an
inquiry from large Los Angeles
company which proved interesting, to
say the least. The California firm
advised that customer had asked for
it for a material which could be used
to make a fire screen of a portiere
effect-a flexible, metal fabric that
would make handsome drape before
a fire place, and which could be drawn
aside like a curtain when the fire
place was in use. 1t so happened that
a representative of this company had
attended the International Purchasing
Agents "Informashow" in Los Angeles
last June, at which Miss Sharlot M.
Hall, Yavapai pioneer and poet, had
presided over an Arizona booth wear
ing the famous copper mesh dress
made for her when she represented
Arizona at the Coolidge Inauguration
in Washington two years ago, and they
remembered the beauty of the copper
costume.
f'The only material we can think
of that would answer this purpose is
one woven in the manner of the fabric
for Miss Halls Dress" wrote the coast
concern. ''As our customer wished
to use copper for this screen and is
satisfied from our description that
this is just the matelial, will you
please advise what factory made the
fabric?'
The chamber of commerce referred
the inquiry to the Arizona Industrial
Congress, which was instrumental in
having the dress made for Miss Hall
and which also directed the Informa-
show exhibit for the Arizona chapter
American Mining Congress, and Cop
per and Brass Research association
The address of the copper mesh fab
ric factory in Massachusetts, which
made the dress went forward by re-
turn mail

1.-THE phenomenon was so startling
that Phenoix citizens, walking in the
lighted streets of the city in an easter
ly direction, stopped suddenly fasci-
mated by the slow descent of the
heavenly body, whose glare burst over
the eastern heavens like an immense
skyrocket
"The fact that the meteor appeared
extremely slow in its fall. gave rise
to the belief that it landed far away
from the city. The giant meteor burst
suddenly forth at about as degrees
above the eastern horizon, travelling
in a wide arch for fully 80 seconds
long enough to give spectators time
to humble a favorite formula Of wish
and expectation, according to time
honored superstition.

s j c GE ST IONS To
POULTRYMEN IN
SELECTING EGGS
Care Should Be Used in the
Selection of Eggs to Be
Used for Matching to Sc
cure Best Results in Poul-
try raising.

The hen lays eggs to reproduce
her kind and not for the purpose Of
supplying us with wholesome food, as
IS generally thought by most people.
Every part of the egg has some spe-
ciic task in the production of the
finished product, the baby chick The
care of Matching eggs depends on the
knowledge of the duties to be perform
ed by each part in the development
of the chick.
The SHE'LL or retaining wall for the
edible part of the egg is composed
Of lime which is used to give strength
to the bone. An examination of the
shell under a microscope shows it to
be full of minute holes or pores thru
which oxygen and carbon d.pxide
pass during the process of incubation.
About seventy-fi five per cent of the
eggs content is water and to retard
the too rapid escape of the water thru
the. pores of the shell, a gelatinous
substance is added to the surface
the egg When it is removed, as by
washing of eggs, the evaporation is
very rapid and decaying organisms
ly impares the Matching as well as the
keeping quality of the egg.
The air cell Is formed by the separ-
alton of the two shell membranes and
is usually at the large end of the egg.
This air is for de1lnite purpose, and
is to be used for the chick to breathe
just before it breaks the shell. An
egg which has been handled roughly
may cause the rupture of the inner
she-4 membrane, allowing the air cell
to move about in the egg and the
chick rarely matches. Packing setting
eggs with the large end down is an
other serious error as the air cell is
injured.
The developing chicks food for the
first sixteen days of incubation is the
white of the egg After the white is
absorbed, the yolk is assimilated,
showing that every part of the egg has
specific part in the reproduction
of the chicken.
The ability Of eggs to hatch de-
terioates rapidly after the fifth day,
and it is not advisable to hold them
longer than seven days before set
ting
| Some system of sorting eggs when
selecting for Matching purposes should
be used Small, extra large, thin
shelled, odd shaped, dirties, pointed,
round and cracked should be used al
home or put in the market basket
The old theory regarding the idea OF
round eggs Matching into pullets, and
| long eggs into cockerels is thing OF
the past. Select medium sized
smooth-shelled eggs that weigh from
| twenty-four to twenty eight ounces
! per dozen for incubation. These
should be placed in a we'll ventilated
room which is not heated The room
temperature can range from forty
five degrees to sixty-fve degrees, and
not injure the Matching quality of the
egg.

Approximately $4,000 more in gas
oline taxes were collected in Decem-

OF the total tax collected, one
half was remitted directly by Kerby
Arizona state miner., 1927-02-05

to the county in which it was collect
ed while the remaining half was re-
mitted to the state treasurer to be
divided equally between the rs per
cent funds of the counties and the %
per cent fund of the state.
Under the distributions, the coun-
ties of the state received in proper
ton to the amounts collected in them,
a total of $478,132. while the state
25 per cent fund of the state high
way department received during the
year total of $244,56618 and like
amount was divided between the rs
per cent funds of the counties, the
records show.
OF the total amount of gasoline tax
collected during the IL months of
1926, Maricopa county received as it's
share under the plan of distribution
1854, ,141.64, or a little less than one
