HENS LAV MORE EGGS BV COING ON NIGHT SHIFT w York. <U.R>- Th. hen. that , , L York’s Ogg. are about to go ’• th e night shift again. I ThP recently Introduced practice of I lnt . re asing egg production by lengthen- . the 'hort autumn and winter days wifkial light in the hen houses W " h ±J.o successful that it is ex I,a ’,p P d to become almost universal ffvear among the thousands of sub than poultrymen in New Jersey, Connecticut and on Long Island. Proof that the hens respond profitably to the system of lengthening ’he winter days by electricity has b-en Educed by Leslie M Black, poultry ' St of the New Jersey Agricultural Allege who publishes the results of his tests in the current Issue of The Farm Journal. Black has tested 166 flocks of popl]Pts over a six month period. Os these 48 flocks were tested without aid of lighting and were found to average 729 eggs per hen. Others tested under three different lighting systems, all ran profitably a head of that figure. The three methods used to convince the hens that winter days are as long as summer ones, and so keep production artificially stimulated when prices are high, are these: First: The evening lunch system, when the houses are lighted for an hour at night between 8 and 9, or 9 and 10. Second: The morning lights plan when the houses are lighted before dawn. Third: The use of lights both morning and night so that the length of the day is made to equal absolutely that of the night. “This last system seems to give the best results of the three,” Black reports. It produced 10.7 more eggs per pullet than when no lights were used; 6 5 more eggs than under the evening lunch plan, and 1.3 more than the morning lighting system. o COCKTAILS AID PURCHASES OF PARIS DRESSES By Ralph Heinzen (United Press Staff Correspondent! Paris —!U.R>— Psychologists among the Paris dressmakers-UaMf .4i*vovered that their sales style is not so cramped If they can keep the customer’s mind off the bill. That led to the introduction of teadances ami mannekin parades in th,e dressmaking salons, then a more dating entrepeneur brought classic dancers into his sales salon, and now Jean Patou has opened a cocktail bar, the last word of drinking elegance. Not oni.' will mixtures of the white coated barman keep the minds of his clients off the bills, but since he mixes his "sidecars” and “’rose” cocktails better than the average barman outside he is even attracting a clientele which might be temtpted to buy a dress on the side, somewhat as a chaser. The dressmakers have had to use their wits this season for there is no doubt that American women are being tempted less and less by foreign dress concoctions. That is the real reason why most of the famous style creators in Paris are framing their product to suit American women and are deaf of the protests of Spanish, English, Tench and other continentals. If Paris loses the American trade, her dressmakers might just as wejl S , ld U P s h°P> when Russia was, Grabbed by the Bolshevists, France lost her best foreign clothes customer.

In a front page editorial in its organ, the People’s Business, entitled “Governor Smith qualifies,” the organization alters the position it took in August when it declared that “neither Smith nor Hoover is a real champion of a living progressive issue,” and now endorses the New York Governor as a progressive. o A Dismal Note "All cats can’t be optimists,” sayt Prowl, the farm cat in Farm and Fire side.

SILENCEBAND AROUND GLOBE FOR ARMISTICE New York, —-fl).R>- To celebrate the tenth anniversary of Armistic Day on Nov. 11 a demonsti ation of silence at n A. .M., literally world- encircling in its scope, has been arranged. For this purpose the League of Remembrance, with headquarters in New 1 York, has sent invitations to the heads of every country within the latitudes of’3o degtees and 45 degrees to co operate by the suspension of al/Indus-1 trial activity as far as possible, and; the cessation cf all vehicular traffic during the two solemn minutes at 11 A M., the hour when the Armistic Agreement was signed in 1918 and the great war ceased. In this way, says the League as the earth revolves around the sun, and the hands of the clock move in unison, every hour of the procession of twenty four on Armistic Day will be signaliz ed in every longitude by a reverential and prayerful pause. The League of Remembrance, established on Nov. 11, 1919, to promote world peace, is cooperating w’ith national, state, civic and other agencies in the United States and abroad to se cure the world wide celebration of Armistice Day by the two minutes silence. Tlie invitations have been sent out not only to the heads of every government of countries within the latitudes mentioned but also to various groups I

You know more now than when you first hung up those curtains and moved your furniture in. You have lived with those walls, bookcases, radiators, cups and saucers long enough to know their merits and demerits. The kind you would buy the second time, and the kind you wouldn’t buy. If you and Sarah could start all over again, you’d profit from that experience. Avoid what has proved unwise—study advertisements, home-furnishing pamphlets—let the potatoes scorch and the lima beans boil dry—just comparing new refrigerators, bathtubs, patterns of delicate china. You’d want to make sure what you bought this time would please you as much tomorrow as today. YET day by day you are making that home-place over. “We do need some new curtains.” “Hadn’t we better get some butter-knives?” The only difference is a gradual instead of a wholesale affording. And by knowing the advertisements you know the future of what you buy. You know bv name, for instance, the curtains that won’t sag or fade. ALT the wisdom that your windows, your electric washer and ironer, the wind, sun, rain would write out for you slowly ahout those curtains, season by season—you get in one swift reading of the curtain advertisements. Experience usually deals with the past. With advertisements, it deals with the future! You buy the now and the will-be when you buy advertised wares. READ the advertisements to know what is advertised—what is certain to satisfy you. • A daily reading of the advertisements prepares you for happy, safe choices first times as well as second times—every time you buy.
