Great Britain Teachers

Watch Eggs Intended
for Matching PURPOSES

In keeping eggs for setting pur-
poses, it should be remembered that
too high temperatures do more harm
than chilling. temperature of 20
degrees will start some germ develop
ment, which is very harmful, il IS
stated. Thus, for best Matching re-
suits, eggs should be kept at temper
allure below 20 degrees, and above
freezing.
Eggs generally hatch better the
fresh they are, but il is sometimes
necessary to save them as long as two
weeks. When eggs are saved they
should be turned over once or twice
daily. They should be kept covered
with a damp sack to help keep them
cool and prevent excessive evapora-
ton of water from them. Heavy loss
of water from eggs is a cause OF poor
matches and weak chicks.
Eggs should rarely be washed, be-
cause it generally opens the shell
pores. This allows bacteria 70 get

a slightly wounded combatant and
the sergeant was at work in first

They parted quickly. Nearly four
teen years have passed since the

lives at 2204 Forestview road, Evans

his former address.
1t was mailed from North Brooks

"Dear Captain:

Captain Winslow, in reply, wrote
as follows:

BEST HOPPERS FOR
THE YOUNG CHICKS
Cup Flats Recommended as
Suitable.

Cup flats used for packing eggs in
cases make excellent hoppers for
chicks during the first week after they
are Matched, the uneven surface OF
the cup flats holding the mash and re-
ducing the amount of waste, advises
]. G. Taylor, of the New Jersey agri-
cultural experiment station. By using
first one side of the cup flats and then
the other each day their durability
will be prolonged. The best results
will be procured if one fat is used for
each hundred chicks.
Urging that small, open-box hOppers
be used after the birds are one week
old, Mr.. Taylor states that very sat
isfactery "reel hopper" can be made
at home. A trough or box 6 inches
wide, 21z inches deep and feet long
is the hopper, with a reel inches in
diameter running its entire length and
so adjusted at each end that it can be
raised and lowered to prevent the
chicks from wasting the mash. II
both sides of this hopper are used 100
chicks can be fed from it at a time.
Commercial hoppers are obtainable
at a moderate cost, the size TO be de-
termined by the age of the chicks
Experienced poultrymen have found
the open type most economical for the
feeding mash to poultry of all ages
Water fountains for the chicks
should be so constructed that they
may be easily cleaned and not upset
The most satisfactory fountain for the
first ten days is the earthenware bell
jar with the flower pot saucer, type
of fountain suitable for 100 chicks
Large metal fountains should be used
when the chicks are four weeks old

Students Build Plane
and 1t Passes Tests

Oklahoma City, Okla.-The Central
high school class in aerodynamics de-
cided it wanted to be practical. Mem
bers pooled resources and the result
was an airplane given the Depart
ment of Commerce stamp of approval.
The plane, built of old material dur
ing class periods, was claimed to be
the first project of its kind carried
through and meeting federal regula-
tons.
Lack of funds and policy of the
school kept the board of education
from financing the plan. Students
bought material and an old plane, tore
it down, and under supervision of an
aviator friend built an airworthy craft.
They planned to form a flying club
and hire an instructor.

FOREIGN POLICY
IS SHAPED BY
ROOSEVELT
President in Confab
With N. H. Davis on Prob

ALBANY, Dec. 81 Q.N.S0. 4.
President-elect Roosevelt to d a y
prepared to wind up the affairs
of New York State, convinced
that to Norman H. Davis, Hoover
delegate to the Geneva arms con-
ference, he had outlined fully his
views on disarmament as well as
on world economics.
Mr.. Davis, o member Of the
American delegation to the
Geneva arms conference and q
major factor in the committee or
ganizing the international eco
nomic conference at London this
year, was an overnight guest at
the executive mansion.
PrOblemS Outlined
Mr.. Davis outlined the Euro
pean problems he believes the next
President will meet when he takes
office. They discussed the desir-
ability Of limitation Of offensive
warfare. The American delegate
to the disarmament conference,
who is expected to remain in his
present capacity under the incom-
ing President, was said to agree
with Mr.. Roosevelt that disarma-
ment can be achieved best by
building up the defensive arms Of
the various nations at the expense
Of their offensive weapons.
Although the President-elect
disagreed sharply with Mr..
Hoover over the advisability of
appointing a joint commission to
take up the international debt
situation, he has made no at
tempt to disguise his approval
Of the preliminary steps taken
by President Hoover toward dis.
armament. That is one reason
why he broke short his Christ
mas holidays to confer with Mr..
Davis, Hoover appointee.
Links 2 Administrations
The PreSident-elect made no ef-
fort to conceal his satisfaction
that in Mr.. Davis he had eStab-
lished a major link between the
old and the new national ad-
ministration on the question of
disarmament. Davis appeared to
agree entirely with the Roosevelt
view on limitation of offensive
weapons of war.
Both men, it was said. feel
that the limitation Of aircraft,
bombers. submarine power, poison
Gus gas, and mobile field artil-
lery will come closer to curbing
warfare than any other means.

Hoover was ready for another
quick dash down the Florida
coast today in pursuit Of deep-Sea
fish which SO far on his holiday
cruise have eluded him.
The Presidents yacht, the
Sequoia, anchored during the
night near Black Hammock
Island, off the mouth of the
Nassau River, some 20 miles
north of Jacksonville. Fla.
Early Start Ordered
Mr.. Hoover, before retiring
early, however, gave orders to
start south at Gas q. m. today,
and unless he decides to stop for
another try during the day he
should pass st. Augustine. Fla.
around noon.
The party may go as far south
as Miami. Cool weather and two
futile fishing efforts piQued the
Chief Executive and he was ready
to try for sail fish, Barracuda,
and other big game fish toward
the southern end Of the PENN
sula, where he was told they were
striking.
He 'fished late yesterday in the
vicinity Of Fernandina, Fla, the
United States Coast Guard base

whim, he ordered the small boats
over the side while the fishing
fleet was refueling, and sped up

his line in vain.
