Pine needles are fine for nest litter as
this helps keep down mites. Clean out
at least once a year and thoroughly
disinfect with creosote.
S. Only one type of hopper is need
ed for mash, grit and oyster shell.
s. Start feeding good quality laying
mash to pullets when they reach 20 per-
tent production. Keep mash in hopper
at all times, filling not more than zfS
full first thing every morning. Stirring
the mash occasionally and sprinkiing
with water about eleven A. M, will cause
hens to eat more. Remember the more
laying mash you get your hens to eat
the more eggs they will lay. They like
wet mash winter and summer.
Z. Feed grain once a day about n
hour before dark. Scatter the grain on
top of the floor litter so the hens Will
scratch for it. This will give them exer-
else. Hens eat more grain in winter than
in hot weather.
8. Keep plenty of oyster shell and
grit before hens at all times. This Is
needed to grind their food and for max
ing e~ggshells.
9. Unless you have a high quality OF
laying mash, green feed, such as SWISS
chard and alfalfa is necessary and Will
lower feed costs. Some green feeds VIII

termilk or soul milk given to the mems
occasionally will stimulate their appe-
tites. Give this to them in small vessels
or troughs.
10. Keep broody hens in separate
as hours to break them from setting.
IL. When hens start molting, you can
keep their production up 40 to 45 per-
cent by properly feeding. Feed grain

The group also set up a committee to
study the present ceiling price on pulp
wood with an idea of requesting an up
ward revision in the pulp wood price.
The committee is composed of one rep
resentative from each state.
1t was pointed out at this meeting that
the Mississippi farmer gets $50 a cord
for his pulp wood while the New Eng
land farmer gets $14.O0 a cord for his
i pulp wood. Actually, the Mississippi
farmers wood used in making kraft
paper is more needed in the war effort
than the New England farmers wood.
On some tours held in connection with
he meeting, the delegates visited the
extensive experimental work being lone
at API on the production Of fish. Work
there indicates that raising fish can be
a most profitable farm enterprise. This
year fish ponds have already yielded
over $4,000 per acre.
Another interesting project visited was
the plant making products from sweet |
potatoes. These products include break |
fast food, sweet potato malt, candies |
and other similar delicious |
food items.

When regular means of communication fail, the
Red Cross can almost always get word to or from
him.
In cases of emergency calling for his presence at

smooths the way and aids financially.

Fan and Dust Pan Once Used
AS Hearing Aids, Society Told

In great-grandmother's day, when
lady was hard of hearing she was
apt to sally forth in her best bib
and tucker, waving an Acoustic
fan" which she skillfully used to
help pick up her friends conversa-
ton.
The trick was accomplished by
delicately pressing the tip of the
fan against her teeth, while the fan
itself served to pick up. the sound
waves of her friends voices.
This was one of the first uses of
''bone conduction" as an aid to the
hard of hearing, it was explained
last night at demonstration of
various hearing aids staged by the
Washington Society for the Hard of
Hearing at its headquarters, 2431
Fourteenth street NV.
"Dust Pan" and Tube.
More cumbersome ear trumpets,
tubes and other devices used before
the invention of electrically operated
aids about the turn of the century
however, brought gales of laughter
from the audience, although many
could remember either using them
or seeing them used.
One Of the most spectacular aids
was about the size and shape of a
large dust pan. with a tube attach
ment. The user sat with it in his
lap, holding the tube to his ear to
catch the sounds picked up by the
dust pan" contraption.

Laurel Undertaken Fined
$500 in Picture Case

Lloyd Kaiser, 40, Laurel (Md.)
undertaken found guilty Thursday
of charge of making obscene pic
lures, was fined 5000 yesterday by
Judges Charles C. Marbury and
John B. Gray in Prince Georges
County Circuit Court, Upper Marl-
boro.
Kaiser, charged with taking 10
photographs OF a 16-year-old Laurel
girl in the nude January 9, faced
maximum sentence of 5000 fine
and a year in jail. In passing SEN
tence Judge Marbury said he did
not invoke the Jail penalty as he
believed conviction on such a rep
rehensible charge" would almost
equal Jail term in view of the
effect it would have on the mans
reputation in the community.
States Attorney A. Gwynn Bowie
said he would "stet" the indictment
charging Kaiser with giving the
pictures away. The "stet" action
is similar to an indefinite continu-
ance.
Evening star., 1944-10-28

The pageant showed that even
after the development of electrical
aids, the hard Of hearing were forced
to carry around box-like containers
ranging from the size of small box
camera to small portable radio.
Today's hearing aids, however,
demonstrated in the last scene were
only visible when their users pushed
back the hair f1uffed about their
ears.
National Hearing Week.
The program, which concluded
the chapters celebration of National
Hearing Week, also included talks
by John A. KratZ, associate direc-
tor OF the Office of Vocational Re-
habilitation, and Miss M. Lorraine
Amos Of the education and training
division of the Veterans Admins
tration. Miss Tracy Copp, of the
Office Of Vocational Rehabilitation
presided.
Mr.. Kratz estimated that between
SOC, 900 and 1900, 900 persons in this
country have hearing deficiencies
sufficient to impair their social OF
economic life and that about 10000
young people with hearing defects
annually enter the occupational
world.
Miss Amos discussed. progress
made by the Veterans Administra-
ton in the educational and voca-
tional rehabilitation of the hard of
hearing and deafened veterans.
