Winter Egg Slump
Often Caused By
Low Feed Intake
Provide More Light and Encour'
age Hens to Eat More,
Advises Poultry
Authority.

"They must eat or they won't lay
may sound like a trite admonition for
producing winter eggs. Yet the fact
remains that the secret of keeping hens
at top production throughout the win
ter depends very much on getting
enough feed into the birds every day
emphasizes G. S. johnson, manager OF
the Purina Poultry Department.
Getting enough feed into the birds
actually means increasing the daily feed
consumption of each hen," says john
son. For as the days get shorter, steps
must be taken to step up the actual
feed intake SO that every bird will be
sure of getting all she needs to make
eggs and stay in good egg making con-
dition."
There are some very definite and
practical things poultryman can do
to increase feed consumption for more
winter eggs, according to johnson.

THE SOCIAL SECURITY ACT

In an address delivered before the
Business and Professional Women's
Club of Baltimore at the Enoch Pratt
Library, G.. r. Parker, Regional Di-
rector of the Social Security Board.
described some of the features OF
the amended Social Security Act. He
called attention to the fact that 1t
was necessary to have a. workable
and practical plan, which the public
was willing and able to support. He
emphasized that whatever benefits
are provided in any system of social
welfare must be paid for by the pub
lic-that is by the gainfully employ
ed"
The outstanding difference be-
tween the original insurance plan
and that now in effect, he pointed
out, is the recognition of the family
unit as distinct from the individual.
Formerly only the insured worker
could expect to receive monthly
benefit payments during his lifetime,
with no provision for his wife and
children. Now the latter are provided
for in the event of the breadwinner'a
death.
While considerable gaps remain
to be filed" he said, ''the Social
Security Act approachs some of the
principal causes of human misery
and distress. In the very early stages
of life, assistance is afforded to flu
ture citizens through aid to depen-
dent children. During working years,
loss of income through unemploy-
ment is in part mitigated by unem-
ployment compensation. When old
age is reached, a life income is pro-
vided. When death occurs, wives and
children are not left in a destitute
condition but are at least given a
start toward readjusting their lives"

OF THE PARKED CAR


Beware of the parked car" the
Keystone Automobile Club warns
pedestrians, "it may prove as dang
erous as the speeding one."
Stepping from behind parked
car" is high on the list of pedes-
trian deaths, Club safety engineers
state in plea for more care while
crossing streets.
Moore than 1000 lives could have
been saved in 1885," said George E.
keneipp, manager Of the Club, by
the simple expedient of looking to
see il the road was clear before
stepping from behind parked cars.
motorists driving between rows OF
parked cars have their attention fix
ed on the street ahead and in most
sases are totally unprepared for the
sudden emergance OF a pedestrian
from behind a parked vehicle.
National accident statistics show
that 1850 persons were killed and
38,110 received Gripping injuries
from this type of accident in 1888.
When last years figures are avail
able, it is believed they will exceed
this total. which represents the Sec
ond highest cause of death occur
ring inurban areas. 1t is surpassed
only by that of Crossing between
intersections. Combination of the
two classitications make up 1872 pei
cent of the pedestrian Deaths"

SPEAKING OF PORK

Cook all pork thoroughly and be
sure you get pork from a reliable
source, is the advice of the Nutri-
ZIONIST of the Maryland State De-
partment of Health.
Here is the reason for it: Pork
is one of the most popular meats on
the winter menu-and in the form
of hot dogs it is equally popular as
an all-the-year round article of diet,
but there is always a chance that the
uncooked meat may contain the tiny
parasite that causes the disease
known as "trichinosis."
Because this disease has such
painful and lasting results, every
precaution should be taken to
prevent it. The parasite is so small
that it cannot be seen by the naked
eye. Fortunately, it can easily be
destroyed by cooking pork thorough
iy-until it is white. Pink pork
should never be eaten!
One of the most common sources
Of this meat infection is through the
feeding of raw garbage to hogs. If
meat is obtained from a reliable
source the danger of buying infect
ed fork is lessened, but the addition
al precaution of thorough cooking
is equally necessary.
The Federal government has done
much to protect the consumer
through it's inspections and require
ments that all pork products be
created in such a manner that this
parasite is killed. However, as all
pork products are not federally in
spected, thorough cooking is neces-
sary for both fresh pork and pork
products, to insure protection.
Special hazards are found in "hot
dog" stands where frankfurters or
hamburgers made with pork scraps
may be sold. Be sure that these hot
dogs are thoroughly cooked at the
stand.
Nearly half the meat eaten in the
United States is pork. 1t contributes
generously to the nutritive value of
our diet. Be sure it is safe. Cook
it thoroughly!

Telephone Work Is Interest
ing Because OF Unusual, Excit-
ing And Humorous Problems
Request For Lemon Pie Recipe
Is Example Of Odd Ques-
tiOns Asked

Pick anyone of the thousands OF
employees of the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Companies, ask
them if their work is interesting and
a unanimous answer will be eyes
And they have reasons to back up that
answer. AS one young lady put it,
''the work is interesting because we
are constantly running up against I'M
usual, exciting and humorous prob
lems."
For example, one Of these unusual
problems had nothing to do with tele-
phone service. A young lady in a
local telephone business Office received
a call from housewife who wanted
to know the recipe for a lemon pie.
Instead of refusing the request, the
alert employee thought for moment
and was soon able to tell the customer
where she could get "recipe for a
lemon pie"
Then, there was the case of the sub
scriber who wanted to save money.
He called and inquired about the cost
of installing one of the newer type
telephones to replace his old one.
When he had the information he made
the classic remark that 'for half-price
I'll take a secondhand one." After
some explanation he was convinced
that the company had no secondhand
telephones. He took "new" one.
Still another subscriber was asked a
simple question in regard to minor
business matter.
"What is your telephone number?"
the girl asked the subscriber.
Disregarding the question the sub
scriber answered 81 was born in 1880
in a little town in Virginia. l am
married and have five children. My
husband is employed"
"But," interrupted the telephone
employee, ''that information isn't
necessary, all want is your telephone
number"
Again the question was ignored and
the subscriber chatted merrily for sew
eral minutes until she had completed a
thumb-nail sketch of her family his
tory. Up. S. The telephone employee
finally got the number.)
It is such incidents as these occur
ring day in and day out that make
telephone work SO interesting.

my first recommendation would be
to use concentrated, compressed feed
like Layena Checkers several times a
day, right on top of the laying mash
all the Checkers the birds will clean up
in IS minutes at time. Since Checkers
are laying mash and grain in highly
concentrated form, Checker feeding is
bound to achieve greater feed intake.
"The second step in the winter egg
producing plan is to provide a IL to 10
hour feeding day through the use Of
electric lights. Obviously the birds
must have plenty Of light and have it
long enough each day to give them
sufficient eating time.
GAS third suggestion comes the
very important requirement of supply
ing enough feed hopper space to allow
the hens plenty of room for eating. At
least 40 feet of hopper space should
be furnished for every 100 BIRDS" adj
monishes johnson. "Then this fourth
recommendation naturally follows: As
with feed, so with water. Give the
birds adequate drinking facilities; keep
fountains well-fllled with clean, fresh
drinking water. The chill should be
removed in severely cold weather.
Attracting the Birds
"To attract the birds to the feed
hoppers it is well to add fresh mash
feed often and stir the mash frequently.
This causes the hens to take more no.
tice of the feed and encourages eating"
he says.

Glitter of Gadgets Often Distracts

them off to ones friends, but if you
skimp on either, you'll be busy for
years to come trying to cover up
cracked walls that all your friends
will see.
