United Charities today asked
Government workers living in
their city, but employed in wash

Last year the contributions

FOR HARMONY

A plea for harmony and CO.
operation among business men
and politicians of both parties to
enable the country to continue a
climb out of its present economic
distress was made today by
Secretary of Commerce Chaplin.
He said business "is holding
its own, commodity prices have
hardened and some lines of in
dustry are operating above the
season trend" He continued:
During the next few months
if harmony Of program can
prevail much can be done to
keep us rising out of the slump
from which we have been
slowly emerging.
Every, member of both
political parties wishes the re-
turn Of better times, and a
sound spirit of working to-
gether can have more than a
helpful influence; it can secure
the best effects from the
many emergency measures now
in operation to end the slump.
Business leaders have expressed
their satisfaction in the pros
L.ects of cooperation"

Broilers Fattened Well
on Cereal Ration Alone

A test was carried on at the poul-
try division, Central experimental
farm, Ottawa, Canada. comparing
two rations, one OF which contained
meat meal and the other cereal
feeds only. for fattening broilers.
Equal parts of ground wheat. ground
oats and ground barley made up the
cereal ration with the addition OF
10 per cent of meat meal TO the 9TH
er. Both were fed three times daily,
using sour skimmilk as a mixer and
mixing each feed one feeding in ad-
vance. Two lots OF chickens seven
weeks OF age were used Thirty
seven birds were In one and thirty
six in the other group. These birds
were banded and weighed lndlvidu-
ally in grams at the beginning, at
the end of the first week and at the
end of the experiment (fourteen
days). The average gain for the two
lots was practically identical, the
difference being only one-tenth Of

THREE GOOD RULES
FOR QUALITY EGGS
Keep Them Clean, Cool, and
Gather Often.
BY r. z. CRAY. Specialist in Poultry,

By r. z. CRAY. Specialist in Poultry

Producing quality summer eggs is
not difficult when three simple rules
are followed. Eggs should be kept
clean, gathered three times a day,
and stored in a cool place until
ready to ship.
BY storing eggs in cool place
as soon as they are gathered, it is
fairly easy TO keep the size Of the
air cell to a minimum This checks
evaporation through the shell and
helps insure a small percentage Of
stale eggs.
Clean eggs may be produced by
providing one nest for every five
hens. by covering the perches with
wire, and by cOnining the birds to
the laying house until the majority
of the eggs are gathered. Eggs can
also be sOled If the hands of the
attendant are wet or damp and
soiled.
Still another practice, which Is one
of the most important from the
standpoint of producing quality
eggs. Is the practice of gathering
eggs at least two or three times a
day. This helps to keep the eggs
clean and cool Experience shows
that farmers gathering eggs even
FIVE to six times a day are well re-
paid II they market their produce
on a graded basis.

No Trump Bids and Rebids

While a great many hands event
uate In no trumps contracts, in the
forcing system the opening bid of
a no trump is rarely heard. This
is easy to understand considering
the strict rule that a biddable suit,
even a four-card minor, takes prece-
dence over no trump declaration
in the initial bid.
When you find, however. that
your hand contains the quota of
honor-tricks for sound opening.
but lacks a biddable suit, you must
naturally consider no trump.
In the position OF dealer or sec
ond-hand, not vulnerable, you may
open with one no trump when you
have 21a honor-tricks distributed
in three suits. Vulnerable, such a
bid is dangerous and should not be
opened with less than three honor
tricks. No trump bids by third
and fourth hand are governed of
course by the same restrictions as
third and fourth-hand suit bids
They require at least three honor
tricks, with additional strength if
opponents have a partial score.
Between the opening bid of one
and two no trumps there is a wide
gap, about FIVE hOnOr-tricks being
required for the latter declaration.
An initial bid of three no trumps is
based on honOr-tricks and playing
tricks, the total requisite being
eight sure tricks with all suits
stopped. Considering its high re-
quirements, a three no trump bid is
naturally a rare occurrence.
