predict home life is going on the

are being torn down to make
room for apartment dwellings. The

smaller.
Where q family in the old days
required q half dozen rooms to
be content, now II satisfies itself
with three or four, or maybe two.
Modern apartments do not build
kitchens any more. They build
small, cramped kitchenettes. Apart.
ments don't have separate dining
rooms as much as formerly. The
living room and the dining room
are thrown into one.
In country and rural districts
the trend away from the old-fash.

even here, where there Is plenty
OF land and cheaper rents, apart

beginning to appear.
The home has always been a
veritable keystone of civilization.
And love of home, despite mod.

home within narrow limits, is such
an ancient and venerated feeling

At any rate, home atmosphere

Make your home projection and

good job, worked hard and con.

picnics, lunches and parties to-

what was a real test-produc-

Then the powers above decided
to change Things, and they in.
stalled women bosses-and the
trouble began. The men were
given different jobs-the women
worked cheaper. 1t was the be-
ginning of the end. Feuds, snob.

The general happy, trusting at.

That poultry certification in Mary
land, sponsored by. the Maryland
State Poultry Association in cooper
alton with the University OF Mary
land Extension Service, is growing
in favor among poultry breeders is
shown by the fact that Sc fiocks OF
approximately sixteen thousand
chickens were inspected during the
past season.
The inspections were made by P.
A. Raper, graduate of the North
Carolina Agricultural and Mechani--
cal College, who is doing advanced
work at the University of Maryland.
According to Mr.. Raper, approx
mately $4,000 of the 10000 birds
examined met the requirements for
breeding. vigor, production on quail
tiles and other essentials for certifi-
cation.
Caroline, where the poultry In
dustry has developed extensively,
led the counties in the number Of
iocks inspected, thirty-one produc-
ers requesting the service. OF the
remaining inspections twelve were
made in Washington county, three.
in Montgomery, two each in Wicom-
leo, Dorcester, Allegany and Anne
Arundel and one each in Talbot ana
Frederick. The number Of birds
per flock ranged from fifty to one
thousand.
In comparing the qualities Of the
breeds, Mr.. Raper points out that
