HENS LAY MORE EGGS BY
 GOING ON NIGHT SHIFT
Artificial Lighting Fuund to Increase
 Productively 10 Per

New York. Oct. 13 OUP)-The hens that lay New York's eggs are about to go on the night shift again.
 The recently introduced practice of increasing egg production by lengthening the short autumn and winter days with artificial light in the hen houses has proved 50 suc- cessful that it Is expected to be- como almost universal this year among the thousands of suburban poultrymen in New Jersey, Connec- ticut and on Long Island.
 Proof that the hens respond profitably to the system of iengthening the winter days by electricity has been produced by Leslie M. Black. poultry expert Of the New Jersey Agricultural college. who publishes the results of hts tests

Sky Pictures.

All sorts of wrinkles have been devised
to attract public notice to advertising
but scheme tried in New York recently
has them all lashed to the mast. An
entcrprising inventor hit upon the idea
of using the clouds as a screen on
which to project pictures and signs
About year ago, from the top of a
building, he tried it on natural clouds
five thousand feet away. Meeting with
only Indifferent success, he decided that
artificial clouds were necessary, and
the other night New Yorkers were
astounded to see. three thousand feet
above their heads, two enormous camels
walking across the sky. Immediately
afterward gigantic letters appeared TO
inform the populace that the projecting
company was in business to advertise in
this manner anything that could be ad-
vertised
Skywriting with airplanes has already
been tried with success. and If the arti-
fetal clouds laid by planes for the new
venture hold together long enough TO
allow the projection of pictures, there
appears to be no reason why the new
scheme should not attract many Gus
toners. In any event it Is an interesting
experiment

Red Lights for Speakers.

A new idea for discouraging long
windednesS in after dinner speakers was
adopted with great success at a conven-
ton in Chicago. Directly in front of the
person making an address was a stop
and go traffic sign. When he arose to
speak he was given the green light by
the toastmaster. At the end of his al
lotted time the red flashed on to put an
end to his remarks. The plan is said to
have worked to perfection and produced
a merry session of the convention.
To those who have stified yawns,
wriggled uneasily or tapped disconso-
lately on the tablecloth with an impa-
tient finger while some blah-blah artist
thundered on seemingly with no pros
pect of running down, the idea win ap-
peal as a capital one. To this same
type of speaker, however, the plan will
be insulting to dignity. If carried out
TO its logical conclusion. the new scheme
should include an amber warning light
with an uniformed usher to hand the
speaker a ticket in case he overruns
the signal. Efflcacious though 1t may
be, the idea will probably never be
adopted universally.

EVERYDAY RELIGION
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES g. FREEMAN. D. D, Ii. D..
Bishop Of Washington

OF divine origin 1t Is something far
more subtle and compelling than this;
1t Is that indescribable something, that
effiuence II you will, that Is Irresistible
and altogether persuasive. 1t was said
OF one that, "he bore his great commits
sion in his look" this is descriptive OF
one whose bearing and whose word car
ried conviction. To the mind OF the
apostle we we're not only examples OF
divine workmanship, we were also es-
sential parts of divine plan. That
we are created in Christ Jesus unto
good works, which God hath before
ordained that we should walk in them,
is suggestive of the part we are to play
In the outworking OF divine scheme
and plan. The part may be small, 1t
is none the less essential In a world
that witnesses to the conservation OF
energy, where no single atom Of power
Is ever lost, we have our definite place
and our specifically designed purpose,
and without that which we alone can
contribute the plan may ba impaired
and the divine scheme hindeTed. The
sphere of our influence may be SEEM
ingly inconspicuous. our work obscure,
our contribution of Indifferent value,
nevertheless, in the outworking Of Gods
ordered plan 1t is essential and indis-
pensable. Margaret Fuller once wrote
to a friend, whose high purpose In life
seemed to be embarrassed. May God
refine and chasten you until the word
of your life Is fully spoken" She was
urging her to press on until she realized
the fulfillment Of her high purpose.
The Masters supreme endeavor was
to set men in right relation to their
tasks. He found men who were SEEM
ing misflts In the scheme of things, and
by giving them q new vision OF the
meaning and reality Of life He set them
on the way to large accomplishment.
He halted Saul of Tarsus on the
Damascus road and gave him new
Interpretation Of the purpose for which
his life was ordained. He disclosed to
him the part he was to play in the
great scheme of human redemption.
Repeatedly we witness this transform
ing power In life. Our supremest move
ment comes when we become conscious
of our divinity and when we come to
realize with the poet that
"All are but parts of one stupendous
whole,
Whose body nature is and God the
soul"

tends back to B street northwest. This
Is the Federal Triangle. Each building
is designed to harmonic with its
neighbors and houses some department
or independent branch Of the Federal
Government.
On the opposite side from Third to
Sixth street rises another pretentious
building, the Municipal Center. which
extends back as far as D street and
occupies four city blocks. This Is the
Municipal Center where the business OF
city government Is transacted.
A Reminder of Paris.
The visitor might think he we're in
Paris. for the architectural plan closely
resembles that of the famous Place de
la Concorde. 1t is magnificent struc-
ture, modern In every sense. Under
ground chambers provide parking space
for automobiles and street car lines, di-
verted from the Avenue. disappear be-
meath it to proceed through a tunnel
TO Union Station.
East Capitol street has been done over
into an Avenue of the States. 1t is lined
with dignified buildings that serve as
embassies for citizens and statesmen
from various sections Of the country.
At the end giant stadium has been
built.
In the residential sections a system
of neighborhood centers has been de-
veloped. Here are found outdoor play
grounds for the children and play space
also for older members Of the family.
There are clubrooms, Libraries and gym
nasiums, tennis courts and similar at
fractions.
The Washington of 1000 will repre-
sent a long step forward since the Tooth
anniversary OF the Capitals founding in
1900. Washington was fair sized city
then with horse cars, which were a
novelty, and an occasional automobile.
Trafic was therefore easy TO handle ex-
cept, occasionally. when q horse ran
away or a lady on bicycle collided on
the Avenue with some old colored wom-
an bringing home the wash. The LII
brary OF Congress had been open four
years. Few OF the present buildings
lining Seventeenth street had been
erected and the Government was raising
fish in ponds at the foot Of the Monu-
ment.
