INCUBATION PERIOD UP TO AGE OF EGGS High-Hatching Stock Should Be Obtained. By E. W Henderoon. Poultry Husbandry Expert, Iowa State ColleKe WNU Service. Eggs laid In the afternoon may hatch better than those laid In the morning. This was one of the phenomena re vealed In various agricultural experi ment station tests to discover factors causing poor chick hatches. Another unusual fact, observed was that the time required for Incubation la directly related to the age of the egg set. Those from 14 to 21 days old required 14 to W hours longer for in t cuhation than did those held less than P eight days. Chicks slow In hatching were low in vitality, It was revealed. Only 8.7 per cent of the first 00 per cent to hatch died In the first eight weeks. On the other hand. 24 per cent of the last 10 per cent to hatch died during the same length of time. High summer temperatures de creased the hatch materially. Sudden and sharp drops In temperature caused poor hatches four and five weeks fol lowing. Eggs .aid during the week of "cold waves" were not affected. Because the expense of getting Infor mation to determine the cause of a poor hatch Is usually too great. It Is advisable for Incubator operators to obtain stock from high-hatching fami lies and follow good feeding and man agement practices. Hatching eggs should be stored where the temperature is below US de grees and above freezing. For best re sults they should not be kept more than eight days. Other experimental findings revealed that high egg production during the winter and spring months did not harm hatchability. Eggs from high-produc ing hens hatched better than those from low producers. Cross breeding Improved hatchabil ity. Turning eggs held from one to seven days before setting did not sig nificantly influence hatching results. One station found that pullet eggs hatched better than hen eggs. Give Greens to Poults, Advise Turkey Experts An experiment conducted by the College of Agriculture in California has developed the fact that turkeys need about twice as much vitamin A as do Leghorn chicks. This vitamin is the one which Influences growth and Is most abundant In green feed, and In the alfalfa meal commonly used In chick mashes. In addition to the turkey mash, plenty of greens should be fed to poults In order to keep them growing properly. The greens will, In addition to supplying vitamin A, tend to keep the bowels In order and supply the greater bulk that turkeys require In their feed as compared with chickens. When poults are confined to wire floors and sun porches, however, It Is necessary to cut the greens very fine, especially when the poults are small, so as to keep them from swallowing big pieces of greens, such as stems, and chok ing. After the poults are a month old or more they enn be trusted with larger clippings of greens. A Wet Mash Pays It will pay well to feed the layers a wet mash. It will increase consump tion of feed which promotes heavy egg production. If a small amount of milk is available, notes the Missouri Farm er, It will pay to mix this with the mash, otherwise plain water Is benefi cial. If the mash can be mixed with warm water or milk It will be relished by the birds. They should he fed nil of the mixture they can clean up In about 20 minutes. A new theory among Investigators as to why a wet mash causes heavier production Is that a wet mash stimulates the reproductive organs of the layers rather than In creasing the consumption of feed. Suf fice It to say, however, that the effects are very beneficial and the extra work Is a good Investment. Poultry Matters Pullets hatched from large eggs will probably lay large eggs. * ? * Students of egg quality and mar keting claim that one stare loses from $11,000,000 to $4,000,000 annually be cause of eggs being dirty. ? ? ?

Lesson for May 5 SIN, REPENTANCE, AND FAITH LESSON TEXT? Luke 16:11-24. GOLDEN TEXT ? If wo confess our Bins, he Is faithful and Just to forgive uh our sins, and to demise us from all unrighteousness. ? 1 John 1 :'J. PRIMARY TOPIC ? When a Boy Was Sorry. JUNIOR TOPIC ? Jesus' Story of the Prodigal Son. ? INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC ? When We Do Wrong. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC ? The Forgiveness of Sin. I. The Origin of Sin (Gen. 3:1-24). Man was placed on probation In the Garden of Eden. The means used In the testing of man were most simple. God issued Just one prohibition, and alongside of the tree of knowledge of good and evil was placed the tree of II le. To this tree man had access. Satan, u personul being, appeared In the guise of ji serpent. lie induced Eve to doubt both the Word of God and the love of God and then ap pealed to Innocent appetite. She gazed upon and lusted after that which God had forbidden. Following her yielding to the suggestion of Satan, she Induced Adam to disobey God. We see from this that so far as the human race is con cerned sin originated in the tree choice of the head of the race and through the law of heredity passed upon all mankind. II. The Universality of Sin (Horn. 3 : 10-18). Hy the use of many quotations from the Scriptures, Paul proves thai everj mem tier of the race Is guilty of sin. III. The Destiny of Sinners (Gen. 6:5-S). Man's rebellious disobedience to God was followed hy his resolution to de stroy the race from the face of the earth. God's holy nature is such that the sinner must be punished. The only escape from the wrath of God Is through the Savior who was provided by God In the person of bis Son. IV. The Divine Remedy for Sin (John 3:1-1, 15; Isa. 53:4-U). The sinless Son of God took the place ot the sinner hy becoming in corporated with the race through (lie incarnation. As a human being he rendered perfect obedience to the law of God, fulfilling every, demand and on the cross of Calvary made a vicari ous atonement for sin. Just as the Israelites who were bitten hy the venomous serpent were healed by look ing to the brazen serpent lifted upon the pole, so is the sinner saved from sin by looking to the tine who was made a curse for sin in his sacrifice on Calvary (II Cor. 5:21). V. Repentance Necessary (Acts 2 : 32-311) . 1 he one who hears the gospel mes sage and receives the crucified Savior not only has forgiveness of sin, but turns from sin to God and thus re pents. On the Day of Pentecost Pe ter's gospel message, which centered In the Lordship and Saviorhood of Jesus Christ, convicted the people of their sins. The evidence of their faith In Christ was manifested in their con viction of sin and their penitence was shown In their confession of Christ in ha ptlstn. VI. The Forgiving God (I. like 15 :ll-24). The center or things In this parable is neither the prodigal son nor his brother,, but the "certain man who had two sons." He who falls to see the heart of our Father God will miss the purpose of this parable. 1. The son's insubordination (v. 12). '1 he son's desire for freedom moved hi in wilfully to choose to leave home. 2. The son's departure (v. 13). Hav ing made the fatal decision, he went posthaste to the enjoyment of his cherished purpose. 3. The son's degeneration (vv. 13, 14). From plenty In his father's house to destitution in n far country was a short Journey. The sinner real Izes his desMtutlon wlion the very pow ers which minister to his pleasures are burned out. 4. The son's degradation (vv. 15, 10). When his money was exhausted, he was driven to hire out to a eltl/.en to feed swine. It is ??ver so, that those who will riot serve God are mnde slaves to the devil (Hopi. 0:10). .r?. The son's restoration (vv. 17 24). a. He came to himself (v. 17). b. He made a resolution (v. 18). e. He made a confession (vv. IN. Hi) d. He acted (v. 20). ??. Reception by his father (vv. 20 24). The father had not forgotten his son. So anxious was he for him that he ran to moot hi in and fell upon hi* neck and kissed hlrn. VII. Justification the Iftftoe of Faith (Horn. 5:1-11), The one who receives Jesus Christ Is declared righteous. His guilt Is re moved; he has peace with God. OrHaali The hardest of nil ordeals for an hon est mini is to stnnd arraigned at tlfa bar of his own conscience. He knows more than the keenest, the most vin dictive enemy could urge for a verdict of guilty. Charily A man's charity to those who differ from him upon great and difficult ques tion? will be In the ratio of hla own knowledge of them, the inore knowl edge, the more charity. ? Norman Me Leod. Knitted Apparel Goes Ultra Chic By CHER1E NICHOLAS T F YOU would keep in the very fore *? rank of Cushion you simply musf weni something knitted this spring Not only is the smart set taking to knitting with more enthusiasm than ever, hut knitted things sold In the shops were never more fascinating. So whether you knit your own or buy, you are certain to be smartly clad if your suit, frock, coat, blouse likewise hat, gloves, belt and scarf, one or all are krltted. Astonishing things are being done ih knitted realms nowadays. Every fad, foible and Intriguing move of fash ion finds Interpretation via knitted art on the new style program. Which >ie cot'nts for t lie increasing enthusiasm expressed for knitted modes this sea so,). The stunning three-quarter coat to the right in the picture Is one unmis takable "reason why" women are con tinuing so whole-heartedly knitted minded this spring. It can be knitted rapidly because It Is of heavy white cotton and made on large needles. Wlde-at-the wrist sleeves, a flattering collar and pouch-shaped patch pockets lend a casual air to this youthful mod el. The beauty of this coat Is that it can be tubbed so easily. If you prefer, make It of the new linen yarn or string. In either event, cotton or linen, this coat is a swank fashion and Its "en dearing charms" will give you Joy the entire spring and summer through. In looking at the cunning Jacket-suit SPRING BRINGS NEW SHADES IN MAKE-UP New spring shades are going to mean some new spring make up for the wom an of discernment. Yellow, one of the favored spring colors, and beige, are calling for a coral tint In rouge and lipstick. Navy, however, requires a deeper tint, bor dering on the red, rather than on the orange shades. With white or black, orange or the more brilliant shades of red will be advisable. l.ocal department stores hnve charts showing the shades of rouge and lip stick which should correspond to the shades of your clothes. No longer Is It adequnte to have one shade of rouge and one shade of lip stick, the authorities divulge. As for eye-shadow : blue goes with blue eyes, green with green, or brown eyes, and for evening a new shadow with silver dust In It, that is dramati cally effective. Flapper Mode Revival Is SuRgested by Short Skirt The introduction of the short, full skirt In some Paris collections bus set the fashion world to wondering wheth er the flnpper Is returning. Several designers showed daytime skirts that were an Inch or two shorter than those of the previous season and m<><? of them endorsed skirt fullness Cleats and gathers shared attention. Fluctuating skirt lengths also were a sensation of the evening modes. Ankles uppenred agxln and again The skirt which was snfllclently short to show footwear at the front frequently was lengthened to touch the floor at the hack and sometimes to form a train. P?ti?nt Influwnc* The peasant Influence has come to town, accenting sllmness with Its full lines. Fullness Is used effectively, he low shoulder yokes, hack and front with n suggestion of gathered flounce at the hack of the skirt above the knee line. Waist and hips and shoulders look twice ss slim by comparison. to the loft one can almost fancy the knitting nee dles clicking a ditty, to wit: "If fashion sends diagonals then diagonals' my choice." Which Is ex actly what we have been trying to say In regard to knitting as now is, It Is as facile and amenable as any woven-on-loom fabric and what's more, knitted fashions are not missing a "trick" when it comes to styling with retching details, silhouettes and accessory notes. Note, for Instance, the shapeliness of the Jacket to this suit. The skirt la straight and narrow and may he knit ted with or without the new slit hem line. (Twould be ever so smart with a slit hem to left front In the skirt.) The original of the model pictured Is done in old ivory of a delustered crepe tloss, knitted in n tweedy diagonal ef fect. The dainty blouse of drop stitch pattern Is cream color. Hrown gros graln rihhon trims the jacket and the crochet I) at. Speaking of the crochet hat reminds us to say to those who would rather crochet than knit that fashion Is will ing. Members of the smart set are hav ing any amount of fun crocheting the new cape suits (cape and skirt) out of either mercerized cotton or the very popular carpet-warp string. The whole thing can be done In nn open lacy stitch or the skirt may be In plain with lacy for the cape. The crochet or knit sweater looks best in contrasting color. For your spring suit we suggest the accessory ensemble of hat, purse and belt shown below. Crochet It of mer cerized crochet cotton. The hat has the new off-the-face movement which Is an accepted vogue In the advance showings. The "set"' would be pretty In different color combinations. The one pictured Is a rich brown with or ange t6urlies. ?. Wostcrn Nnwapftpt-r Union. WEAR FLOWERS l?r CI1KKIK MCIIOI.AS Tls rii ill that fashions will he guy with flowers this sen Hon.

"QUOTES COMMENTS ON CURRENT TOPICS BY NATIONAL CHARACTERS USE OF GAS IN WAR By CAPTAIN O. J. FISHER Chemical Warfare Service. THE next war is not much more likely to be fought on a chemical basis than the last. We don't expect the number ot deaths from chemicals to be materially great er than In the last war. The military effort required to fly chemicals ugainst cities is such that It is doubtful whether military com manders would feel Justified in direct in;; men and materials to that purpose. The progress made in developing erases since the World war lias riot been ;is , Treat as the general public has been led to fear. Those who point out that one ton of mustard gas Is capable of killing .'lo.oOO.OOti people run dead up against the fact that In the World war a ton of this gas actually killed but three persons*. CUBAN DIFFICULTIES Hy SUMNER WF.LLKS Assistant Secretary of State THE solution of their political difficulties lies now solely in Cuban hands. We have abrogated the I'latt amendment. We have re nounced the rights of Intervention which we had previously secured, and we have made it emphatically clear that this government would interfere neither directly nor Indirectly In the Internal concerns of the Cuban people. When any people has suffered eco nomic prostration coincident with a political dictatorship, and the dictator ship is overthrown by popular upris ing. it Is almost inevitable that for a period of time that country will pass through varying stages of political 'Hi res t. That is what occurred in Cuba. PERMANENCE FOR CCC Hy I'll ESI DENT ItOOSKVKI.T IT IS my earnest hope that the work carried on by the Civilian Conservation corps will find a permanent place in our government. Only In that way can the nation, through future generations, enjoy the full benefit of what already has been accomplished and the full measure of all that ultimately will be achieved. The results achieved in the rehabili tation of youth, the conservation of our natural resources, the development of new recreational opportunities for our citizens and the quickening of business recovery have .iroved so worth while that I have not hesitated to recommend continuance of the Civilian Conserva tion corps camps for another two yea rs. PENDING RAIL LAWS lty W. W. ATTERRURY President Pennsylvania Railroad. PROPOSED legislation, if en acted, would place an insup portable burden upon the railroads without advantages to the employees. Any treatment of their problems which omitted consideration of the overhanging threat to the Integrity of the industry, would lie tantamount to the destruction of efforts looking to ward recovery In the tield of railroad transportation. Such legislation would mean ultimately less employment In the railroad Industry rather than an Increase in employment, as contended by the sponsors of this legislation. ONLY PASSING PHASE Hy ANDREW W. MELLON Pit tsbnr'Kh Hanker I^VEX at 80, one does not ae f|tiire the gift of prophecy, but I look forward to seeing the return of normal conditions again within my own time. America is going through a bad quarter of an hour, but present con ditions. however distressing, especial ly In terms of human suffering, reflect only a passing phase in our history. New generations are coming on and I new Inventions and the advance in hu man intelligence will solve many prob i lems that now seem insurmountable.
