NEW YORK, July 2. W.p)-Two
weary and rather bashful flyers,
who had crashed all records for
around the world travel, received a
tumultuous reception today from
New York City.
With only eight hours OF sleep
since completion of their eight days.
Is hours and 81 minutes flight
around the world. Wiley Post and
Harold Gatty were aroused from
their deep sleep this forenoon to re-
ceiye the noisy whole hearted ac-
claim Of city that thrilled to their
air exploit
They were obviously tired this
morning. During their hazardous
flight they snatched only about Is
hours sleep. They landed at Roose-
velt Field last night TO the plaudits
OF thousands. II was a. IN. before
they could finally retire in their
suite at the Ritz-Carleton hotel
Shortly after 8 a. IN. they were
awakened. Post. the pilot who sat
at the controls on the history max
ing flight, arose, shaved, dressed in
the first fresh clothing he has worn
since leaving Roosevelt Field last
week, and then ordered breakfast,
His wife joined him.
Meanwhile Mrs. Harold Gatty,
who had failed IN her attempt TO
reach here in time to greet her hus =
band. hurried from u train TO her
husbands quarters. She awakened
him with kiss. Drowsily he greet
ed her and asked about their three
little sons, each of whom has now
decided to become an aviator like
their father.
Wives Present
Gatty and his wife subsequently
joined Mir. and Mrs. Post at break
fast. The two flyers were quiet but
the women talked animatedly OF the
costumes they would wear for the
reception today. Mrs. Gatty decided
on white frock topped with a
white beret. Mrs. Post chose a blue
dress with white polkadots. Gatty
wore grey suit and Post wore a
suit of dark shade.
William s. Deegan headed the
committee which escorted the flyers
out through the lobby Of the hotel
and into the street crowded with
cheering people. They were led to
the official motor car and taken to
the Hudson river to board the off,
cial city tug Macon for the trip
down the river to the Battery.
The flyers were taken through the
heart of Manhattan on their trip
TO the river to board the Macon.
River craft added their salvo.
Steam whistles screeched. Fireboats
gave volleys of water as a gesture
of welcome as the Macon pushed
steadily on to the crowds in lower
Broadway.
Meanwhile Broadway, tine avenue
OF triumph for home coming idols,
was emblaZoned with color. Flags
and bunting draped the buildings
The crowd was slow in forming but
as usual the procession up to the
city hall was arranged for neon, just
when the crowds from the financial
district leave for luncheon.
Long before the flyers reached
the Battery, ticker tape started
showering down from the buildings.
The crowd grew rapidly. Fifteen
thousand crowded into Battery park

FARM :
POULTRY
KEEPING TAB ON
AGES OF CHICKS
Good Reasons Why Matter
Is Important.

The question may arise in the
minds of some as to why it is nee
essary TO be able to tell the differ
enceS in ages of pullets.
The answer is that when it is
time to put the pullets in the lay
ing house, there are some that are
not worth keeping. These should
be sorted out, and it is we'll to keep
all of the same age and develop
ment by themselves. The earliest
maturing pullets are usually the
best ones.
If pullets of all ages are allowed
to run together on range, it will be
impossible to tell the difference be
tween the slOw-developing ones of
the earlier matches and the fast
growing ones of the later matches.
Naturally, such birds are not all
of the same value and should not
be placed in the same pen.
Unless pedigree Matching and
breeding are done and all chicks
banded, such pullets cannot easily
be told apart. They can easily be
marked by toe punching or Sitting
the webs between the toes. By
using different combinations it is a
very simple matter to know def
nitely the ages of the various pull
lets.

Good Laying Hen Makes
Money for Her Owner

Take "a pounds of grain plus one
good laying hen and you have II
dozen eggs. With grain selling at
one and half cents per pound and
eggs selling 80 cents per dozen this
means value of $3.50 for the grain,
or a profit of $2.32 over the cost of
the feed; or, selling grain at a
price of S4.2S per hundredweight.
Here are some more figures. The
hen which lays only % eggs causes
a loss of 64 cents over the cost Of
feed for one year; the hen which
lays so eggs causes a loss Of one
cent; the hen which lays 100 eggs
creates profit of S1.25; the hen
which lays $50 eggs produces a profit
of S2.49; while the hen which lays
200 eggs brings profit Of 1914.

Plan Now to Increase
Production of Eggs

One of the imperative needs of
the poultry industry is to increase
the consumption of eggs, said Reese
Kicks of the International Baby
Chick association, in addressing the
American Institute of Cooperation
at Manhattan, Kan. Other foods
are giving eggs a battle for a place
on the breakfast table, and accord
ing to Mr. Hicks, this is what can
be done about it,
The first step toward increasing
egg consumption is for producers
to supply high quality eggs. The
second step is in standardizing the
product so that the public will know
what 1t is buying. The third step is
FOR cO-OperativeS to join hands with

POULTRY HINTS

Poultry diseases cost poultry
growers S4,OOO,OO0 year in Ohio
alone.
The fact that the poultry industry
can expand or contract rapidly with
conditions makes it a stable one.
Bacilary white diarrhea of chicks
.an be controlled by testing breed
ing hens and eliminating the germ
carriers.
Many pOultrymen find that night
lighting of baby chicks increases the
growth since the chicks eat and
drink at night.
Culling should be a continuous
process, starting at the time chicks
are received from the hatchery and
extended over the entire laying
period
Artificial light for poultry merely
makes a normal condition during an
abnormal time and is not a forcing
process, if used with reasonable
judgment.
In cash income poultry ranked
fourth among agricultural products
in the United States in 192S-29, be-
ing exceeded only by dairy cattle,
beef cattle and hogs.
The careful division of bullets
into laying units makes their man
agement and feeding in laying flocks
during the pullet year easier, more
economical. and more exact.
A poultry man who continuously
selects his breeding hens from the
late molting group in his flock, may
expect a higher egg production dur
ing the late summer and early fall.
Principal defects of eggs delivered
to Gambling stations which materi-
ally affect their sales value are dirt,

The best way to prevent collie,
doctors say, is to avoid gas in stom-
ach and bowels by keeping the entire
intestinal tract open, free from waste.
But remember this: a tiny baby's
tender little organs cannot stand
harsh treatment. They must be
gently urged. This is just the time
Castoria can help most. Castoria,
you know, is made specially for ba-
bies and children. 1t is pure vege-

New Monthly Publication, First of Its Kind, to Make
 Its Appearance in January

cultivate reading among adults who see, little has been done to tempt the reader who is blind to develop the same habit" says a foreward in the sample issue of the magazine. This new monthly magazine has a definite service to offer. Its aim is to stimulate an in- terest in reading among those who read by touch. This field has not been covered by other braille mag azines in America, for the major ity of these are concerned with affairs of general interest and none have specialized in literary news"
 The introductory issue contains biographical sketches of three au- thors whose books, in braille, are popular with blind readers-Sin- clair Lewis, Mary Roberts Rine- hart, and Robert A. Millikan. "Babbitt" by Sinclair Lewis and Science and the New Civilization" by Professor Millikan are in de- mand by blind readers. Biograph- ical sketches of other writers whose works have been embossed in braille will be published from month to month.
 Congress recently passed a $100.- 900 appropriation for the publish ing of books in braille. Between 120 and 130 works, unavailable to the blind heretofore because of the large investment required for Braille printing and because of lack of profit to publishers, will be printed from the appropriation. All of the books published through this subsidy will be reviewed in the Braille Book Review. The first two. reviewed in the introductory issue, are Woodrow Wilson S George Washington" and Villa Gathers Shadows on the Rock"
