signed by James \\ Gerard. former ambassador to Germany rind now the chairman iof the friderrition’s commission on industrial inquiry. It is based on a proposal made by Matthew Vfoll. vice president of the American Federation of tabor. and urges the calling of a national congress to discuss and formulate a program of industrial readjustment and create permanent machinery for this purpose. Mr. Gerard's letter was addressed to all leading manufacturers in the country, officials of the American Federation of Labor and heads of all International inions. The letter declares that -Mr. Woll's proposal for a great congress of industry has received the indorsement of the national civic fedriration and expresses the readiness of the federation to summon such a congress “if it can have reasonable assurance that the response will be such as to make success probable.” Manufacturers and labor leaders were asked to state their opinion and that of their organizations on the proposal and to advise whether they would participate In a preliminary meeting that might be held before the formal calling of the congress. FOR the purpose of encouraging other nations to help in the disarmament movement by telling all about their military strength, the United Stales, through Secretary Stimson, has made, public its report on that matter to the League of Nations. The

-document shows the land, naval and air armaments of the country, giving the exact number of warships and aircraft maintained for military and naval purposes. The :otal number of army reserves is also given, though this information was not asked by the league. The data gave America's total land effectives as 139.957, including 13,080 officers. The National Gujird was listed at "10.774 average daily effectives'' and waa n«>t included In the total forces l eciiuse it was reported ,“not ; available to the federal government without measures of mobilization.'’ The total strength of the natal fixed at 109J8R including 1ti.429 officers and 17.500 enl.Med personnel <>f the marine thorps. yhe total armed air forces, including effectives in the army atJd navy, were placed at 27.321 ottictjrs and men. of which 13.17 m were credited to the .ir corps and 14.1'p to the naval air force.

likely to be heavy.” Fr ank LI S 1». Risvsevelt's Ipresidential boom was given a decided boost in Massachusetts by the luncheon givep by Col. Edward M. House at his summer cottage near Manchester-by-t he-Sea. The governor of New York was the guest of honor and among : those’ present were thO most influential Democrat-

ic leaders of the Bay state. Little was said about politics during the luncheon, but the feeling was general that the affair was of considerable political significance, and friends of Mr. Roosevelt are of the opinion that the Massachusetts delegation in next year’s national convention will be In line for his nomination. Just before the party rose from the table Colonel House offered"a toast to the governor as the man bn whom the eyes of the nation are focused.

It will be remembered that Colonel House recently announced’that he was corresponding with leading Democrats with a view to promoting Roosevelt’s presidential prospects. Among the guests at the luncheon was Henry Morgenthau, like House a close friend of Woodrow Wilson, and it is believed he has associated himself with House in this- movement with the sanction of Roosevelt, although the governor has not yet declared himself a candidate for the presidential nomination. AL CAPONE, the world’s most notorious gangster, will have to sipend some years in Leavenworth penitentiary. Before Federal Judge Wilkerson in Chicago he pleaded guilty to indictments for evasions of income tax payments and for conspiracy to violate the prohibition law.

So many houses are being built these <iuys without front porches that many, will welcome a design offering a ffont porch with all the summer evening comforts that, it suggests, as an outdoor, living room during the hotweather period. Additional warmweather comfort is: suggested by the striped awnings which, protecting the Windows from the direct rays of the sun, may be drawn up out of the way when cooler weather makes the warmth of the sun more welcome. This is a substantial frame house, designed after the style of the Dutch Colonial and finished with the wide siding which has. of Lite years, won such well merited favor. It varies, in plan, from the Dutch Colonial in Defective Chimneys Cause of Many I ires The new chimney for your house may be of brick, concrete blocks, hollow tile, stone, but whatever-its material. It should have a fire clay lining to secure a straight flue of uniform dimensions. This smooth inner surface eliminates the possibility of a chimney fire. Tn case tive linir.s is omitted, brts'tfr there ’•< an tatra thickness oAhrick on the inside. Many chimneys in old houses have no fire lining, and their walls are built only one brick in tZcknoss. the in<i<le of the fine plasterecl with mortar. Tins kind of chimney remains tight for a lime, br.t after a wb le the heat makes the mortar dry, it falls out of platfe, and an uneven due results. This single brick joint between the hot flue and any surrounding woodwork is the cause of many fires. Insurance companies claim that defective chimneys amt sparks on the rovif are responsible for nearly 20 per cent of all fires in homes. Thi • shows that good chimney construction is as important as a good fire resistant or fireproof roof in the modern home. One method of testing a chimney to discover its strength or its weakness is to use the "smoke” test. Build a smudge fire at the bottom of the flue, and then when the smoke begins t<> flow freely, close it tightly. If the smoke escapes into other flues or through the chimney wt!”.-s. it indicates that there are op-n ngs which must be closed before the < himney is nsetl. Remember that with chimneys, as well as many other things in life, appearances are deceitful. On examination many a chimney is found to be an acute 't . ■ I' is much cheaper to rebund a chimney, or build it correctly in. the first place, than to build a new house!

Imitations All Out of Favor in Decorations “If you must use artificial flowers, advises an interior decorator, “use only those which look decidedly artificial. No one can be fooled by artificial flowers and a clever imitation is a sad substitute for the real flower at best. Glass flowers, shell flowers, bead flowers or painted wood flowers add a decorative note to the home without suggesting that they .W used because they are cheaper than the real articles. They are purely decorative objects and not invitations of real flowers.” t . Poor Flooring Will Show Cracks in Short Time Flooring of imperfect manufacture Is likely to warp or develop cracks; it does not give the dependable service you expect j from your floor and the, very best workman cannot make its appearance all that I s desired by the builder. Home builders should tie sure that

that the characteristic central hall is not found on the first floor. The entrance is at one side of the front elevation and directly into one end of'the large living room which occupies nearly half "f the 'lower floor space. At the opposite end of this living room is the stairway leading directly from the room to the upper floor instead o.f Jirom the hall as seen in most Tire almost square plan of this house indicates maximum floor space and minimum building cost, a point which it is well to remember when planning a hottie where finances are limited and space is at a premium. In this case it makes possible, within the overall .dimensions of 26 by 24 feet, a large living room, ample dining rtHim and kitchen, on the first floor tind three roomy bedrooms.with goodsized closets and a comfortable bathroom, on the second floor. In spite of. its simplicity, this house possesses a most pleasing appearance due largely to its excellent lines, its cheerful awnings, and the well-select-ed ami placed shrubbery which surrounds it. ed with glass walls, are to be erected during the coming year. As. the proposed structures include one skyscrapei hotel and two big apartment houses, if appears that several thousand people will shortly be living in real' “glass houses.” Another of the glass buildings is a steel-framed, ' glass-walled warehouse. 15 stories high and with 40 acres of floor s;>a«w. Glass skyscrapers 70 stories hign are being planner! by various architVeturai firms. ■The frame work of these structures, according to the American Magazine, will be of steel or some light strong alloy. Window sash, spandrels and trim will be. of a rustless metal like ahnninurn or chrome-nickel siee]. Glass bricks made with heat-insiilat-ing air cells and surfaces, in translucent pastel shades of color, or faced’ ancl transparent, will form the walls. In the sunshine they will glitter like a frost picture in a silver frame. After nightfall, when the interior is lighted, they will become glowing towers of many-hued beauty. . “We are just beginning to study the effect of light and color on disposition, moods ami general human efficiency,” declares Albert E. Marshall, who has developed a hollow brick of glass that will withstaml the heaviest loads and resist 1.000 degrees of heat without damage. "Structural glass walls will open a new field for the practical application of color science lof living." Practical Builder Knows What Materials Are Best The up-to-date builder knows from experiem e what construction materials wear the longest, look the best and satisfy the home owner most. Accordingly, he makes helpful and valuable suggestions. For the roof—a type of roofing which has proved good. For the trim—a kind be knows will please. And for walls, wall paper because it adds life, color,; beauty and- is recommended as correct style by the country's leading decorators.

the lumber they buy will-require a minimum of carpenter work of plan Ing, sawing and sorting. One of the most popular floor boards is oak. which may be laid in an irregular manner with boards o' alternate widths to give an antiqu. l effect. It displays nature’s beauty ill grain and construction, blending over the entire lustrous floor expanse. Oak lends dignity to any room; It harmonizes with woodwork and will furniture of whatever period. It is the proper background for rugs. Tt is permanent. Time only improves 1 <r mellowness. It is easily kept in perfect condition; is cleanly and sav s housework. The cost is negligib.e compared with temporary floor coverings. Oak Floors Many an old home needs modernizing and an oak floor laid over t ie old worn flooring will do as much as any other single improvement to tone up the interior. Selling or rpntai value will be increased out of all prop )r---tion to the small cost of Installation .

DAIRY FACTS CAREFULLY CLEAN DAIRY UTENSILS Vital in Production of All Sanitary Milk. The careful cleaning of utensils is vital in the production of sanitarymilk. Vessels should first be rinse ! with lukewarm water or ordinary well or cistern water to remove the milk, then washed with moderately hot water, containing a small quantity of an alkali cleaning solution, after which they should be scalded in hot water and inverted to dry. They should not be dried by wiping with a doth since that will cause contamination. Wiping is not necessary when scalding ' water Is used, as the heated vessels will dry of their own accord. While many dairymen depend upon the kitehen stove for heating water, a more dependable plan is to have a two-hole coal oil or gasoline stove or laundry stove on which fits a copper or tin boiler. Ample-water can thus i be quickly and economically heated. For larger dairies a small vertical steam boiler may be nsed. Such a boiler has the advantage of providing i live steam by which the utensils may be mere quickly and effectively ster- ; ilized. 1 . ] Milking should be done with dry hands. A pail of clean water and a clean towel should be placed eon- ! venient to the milkers and they ’ should xyash and wipe their hands fre- i quentiy. Bacteria are, minute.- single-celled plants, so small as to he visible onlyunder a powerful microscope. Twen-ty-five thousand averaged-sized bacteria placet! end to end. would measure only an inch in length. A single drop of sour milk contains as many as forty millions of them. Under fffvorahle conditions, one of these gerriis divides into two every half hour. Milk is an ideal medium for their‘growt h. The bacteria commonly found in milk grow best at temperatures -between SO und-98 degrees Fahrenheit. Buttermilk Excellent Feed Calves A reader vXho lives near a creamery that usually lias a surplus of buttermilk to sol! at a few cents a hundred, is anxious to know if butermilk will take' the place of skimruilk in calf feeding. It will, says the Montreal Star. If very little wash water has been added to the # bmtermilk in the making of the butter, it will have the sai ie feyhling value as normal skimmi k. \s value as a feed was well ‘demonstrated by Mr. William Newman, Lotneville, Ont., almost a score of’ years ago. This leading creamery man was operating in a section where there w; s very tittle improvevi dairy stock. He conceived the ide® of going to the cheese further east where there herds of grade Hol-sti-ins a carload of calves that would otherwise be slaughtered, feeding them on the buttermilk from his creamery, with grain and roughage, and selling to his patrons. We do not know just how successful the plan WHS In improving ’he dairy stock of the community, which was the ‘main objective, but we do know that the calves grew wonderfully well on the buttermilk an’l with less bowel trouble tian would have been experienced xVith the same number of calves on skimniilk. . " Dairy Hints Prevention of waste is accomplished in several ways by the use of silage. «* , * When buying a bull to raise heifers from. look for proven milk production in the ftedigree. • • • The feeding value of silage-is due in large part to its succulence ami palatafiility' as well as to its actual content of food elements. • • • Calf scours are frequently caused In summer by unclean pails. Tin pails should be used and they shodhi he washed every day and set out in the sun. • • • Animals eat silage almost completely, though they would refuse a large proportion of the forage from which it is made, if it were given them in the dry condition. . • • • Cool the cream after skimming and keep It cool by setting the can in cold water, which is changed two or three times daily. Stir the cream at least twice a day and don't mix warm cream with cold cream. The wide and growing use of silage is accounted for by its feeding value, its prevention of waste, and its convenience. • • • The silo is now considered an essential in economical dairy feeding, and has taken an important place in the feeding of beef cattle and sheep. The cows that are obliged to fight flies by day and mosquitoes by night on short, burnt pastures, are the ones that will go dry and prove unprofitable. • • • The typical New York state. cow gives about 5.500 pounds of milk a year. The herds in dairy herd improvement associations averaged 8.047 pounds to the cow last year. Economists say a cow must give at least 7,000 pounds of milk to pay profits. • • • - Cows giving more than 20 pounds of milk daily,should have grain even if grass is abundant. A common rule is one’ pound of grain to each six pounds of milk given by the cow. Protein content of the grain mixture need aot be abuv< 1." per cent

POULTRY ♦EKTSVITAMINS REDUCE LOSS OF CHICKS Lack of These Essentials Cause of Many Evils. It is necessary for the growing chlch to have included in the ration substances which contain vitamins A, B. and D, says O. N. Massengale, poultry nutrition specialist at the New Jersey agricultural experiment station. The lack of'either of these essential factors, he asserts, will give rise to stunted growth, a greater susceptibility to disease and, a higher mortality. The absence of vitamin A causes a nutritional disturbance called “opbthafmia,’’ the absence of B cause polyneuritis and the absence of D Cause* leg weakness. The best source of A and B in the ration is whole yellow corn meal. Jt is advisable to use the meal from the whole grain because in the degermed corn meal a greater part of the vitamins have been lost with the removal of the germ. Cod liver oil is also an excellent source of A, whereas wheat bran is an excellent sburce of B. Two well-known sources of the D vitamin are cod liver oil and sunlight. Since sunlight is not always available In ’sufficient amounts, especially to birds in confinement, it is advisable to add 1 per cent of cod liver oil to the mash. Although a chick ration may be complete as far as protein and minerals are concerned, unless ample amounts of these important vitamins are present, the poultryman will be unsuccessful in raising the, chicks to maturity. 4 Turkeys in Confinement Is Modem Development Modern developments in marketing turkeys through pools and co-opera-tive associations in the West are beginning to be felt in the eastern states. Working along similar principles of quality standardization bn turkeys as have the Pacific coast egg producers, it begins to look like the western growers will teach the eastern growers a lesson, just as the western ejJfc folks showed the eastern egg producers how to market white eggs in New York. Quality and standardized marketing must be preceded by quality and standardized production. Right now it-.seems that the raising of turkeys in confinement is tp follow close on the heels of raising chickens in confinement. The Pennsylvania experiment station has demonstrated the confinement raising of turkeys in a manner that exceeded all expectations. Some growers in Maryland are also raising turkeys in close confinement with marked success. Eccftioipical Egg Ration < for Summer Production Sixty-per cent of the cost of egg production is usually feed cost, H. H. Alp, University of Illinois, told farmers at Urbana recently. It is to the advantage of every poultryman to use good rations but asr cheap ones as possible while eggs must sell for 20,cents a dozen., or less. An economical ration at present * grain prices can be. made by using 195 pounds yellow corn, 100 pounds of ground wheat,' 100 pounds ground bats, 100 pounds meat scrap and five pounds salt. The price of this ration should be around $1.65 a hundred. I Poultry Notes Late molters make as good winter layers as those which molt early. • • • Rake the litter in the scratching sheds and houses often, so as to keep it clean and sanitary. A little disinfectant sprinkled amongst the straw will also assist In keeping it sanitary. • • • Charcoal helps to keep the chickens healthy and they like it, but it is not absolutely necessary. It may be made from wood, corn, wheat, barley or other grain. • • • The beak of a good hen is short and curved. • « • Hens that have plenty to eat other wise may be fed moderate amount of apples. They do not take the place of green food, but hens get considerable enjoyment as well at a little nutriment from them. Helping hens to feel happy Is k good plan In the poultry business. They do not always reward their owner In a practical way, but are more likely to do so. • • • Each hen should lay an average of 13 eggs during August. Less than that means that closer culling of the flock is necessary. • • • Boiled rice, from which all the water has been boiled out. Is good for chicks. It regulates, their bowels and prevents diarrhea. • • • Train pullets not to be afraid of you; Fowls that are easily frightened never do so well, and cause lots of trouble about the hen house. A wild pullet is a nuisance in a well-rbgulated flock. • • • One of the important pieces of equipment that helps in managing young stock during the summer Is an outdoor feeder for mash and grain. • • • Clean chicks, clean soil, clean feed and clean management work wonders In raising thrifty young birds and insuring their future as laying hens. • * • Do not let your hens get into th® habit of eating eggs. This habit is one of the worst fowls can have, and it is very apt to spread very rapidly throughout a flock.
