ANIMAL SETS MAKE
: APPROPRIATE GIFTS.
_ Old Santa Claus has become a
big game hunter this Christmas
Nothing on the market is smarter
nor more appropriate than animal
gifts. ;
Not live ones, necessarily, You
can get practically anything you
have in mind made either In the
form of some animal or with an
animal motiff for decoration. Ameri-
can stores are alive with animal
gifts. Brand new, smart and very,
yery modern is this pet urge this
Christmas.
Suppose it is Father you have in
mind. You can take your pick of
animal etchings for his room; a
metal desk set with pert onyx bur-
ros atop each piece; an elephant
necktie holder; a cordial set of ruby
red crystal bottles with both the
bottle and the six glasses decorated
with little black jungle figures;
playing cards with modernistic
horses on the backs; book ends of
brass or iron dragons; a bird-shaped
pipe holder; hunting prints; a lion
rug; a leather book cover ‘with his
pet dog on it, or a portrait of his
pet cat. :
The choice of animal gifts for
Mother is even greater. How about
a dashing modernistic hare in black,
lavendar and clear crystal, design-
od for a table piece? There are,
too, an ornamental family of crystal
cranes with long pink coral legs,
bills and eyes that manage to look
smartly decadent; wrought iron door
steps in fine porcelain celery dishes
of swans, and a gay sweater suit
with a modernistic animal motiff
woven in, in the form of shoulder
decoration and cuffs.
She may like framed pictures of
pets the children have loved; a real
live pet to keep her company about
the house, such as a Siamese cat, a
Peke dog or a couple of love birds,
or some of the new angel-gold fish.
If you have a yen to bestow a
most acceptable gift upon a young
miss in her teens, or just out of
them, there is no denying the ap-
peal of animal gifts designed for
her. There are little furry kittens,
dogs, horses for hat motifs; there
are clips done in real diamonds and
rubies in the shape of mice; smart
hammered silver polo figures for
belt buckles and hat pins; new sil-
ver bracelets with bangles that are
each a diminutive animal, and vani.
ty cases with wee pets for decora-
tion. :
She would enjoy velvet boudoir
pillows that are Kittens, sheep or
bears; a purse with carved jade par-
rot fasteners; a gay painted lamp
that is an elephant holding another
elephant on his trunk, the second
one being the globe.
Then there are boudoir sets of
bubble crystal with a tiny bird in
color on each; bridge sets with ap-
pliqued squirrels on them; and sports
handkerchiefs with colored borders,
and a series of galloping horses in
the same color. ;
The young man of the family, or
the boy friend or bridegroom, hasa
full set of animal gifts lined up for
him, Wrought iron andirons in the
shape of matador and bull are new
and stunning, as arc sets of ‘brushes
all fitted into a bear holder. A full
set of accessories for his pet dog a
collar, sweater, basket-house, and
leash—would be welcome.
Other hunches are two new sofa
pillows with live-looking animal dec-
orations; cigaret lighters that are
in the form of dogs; a smoking set
with ash trays that have animal
decorations; pictures of old English
hunting scenes, in gay colors.
When it comes to the children,
northing on earth is more appro-
priate . than live, honest-to-goodness
animals. Of course, their mother
should be consulted first, for she
must take part of the care of them.
But a puppy, or a couple of kittens,
some fish, birds or even a rabbit or
two usually are most acceptable.
If live pets are out of the ques-
tion, there are all kinds of animal
games; animal books; a little mod-
ernistic chair made in the form orf
a zebra: fuzzy bath sets with ani-
mal borders; animal sponges in
bright colors; a soapy circus which
has soap made in the form of giraffe,
lion and beaver.
One of the very nicest Chirtsmas
gifts for children is the animal book
plate. There are animal bedroom
slippers and lounging robes; animal
brush stands that will encourage
them to put their things away; and
little carriage robes, pillow and
coats for babies with three little
white bunnies of furry wool to dec-
orate them.
With such an array it will be
easy, if you choose, to make a
menagerie out of your Christmas
gifts. These presents, aside from
being acceptable, also have the
priceless quality of humor.

KOUNDUP DERELICTS
LIVING ON CITY DUMPS
More than fifty numan derelicts,
men, women and children, discovered
living in nondescript shacks and
caves in a no man’s land of ashes
and waste in South Philadelphia,
will be given a hearmg before Mag-
istrate Oswald on charges of
vagrancy and theft of milk and
bread from nearby homes.
The motley chowd was herded to- |
gether by police, who were surprised
at the conditions under which they |
lived. So pathetic was the plight of |
these homeless people that when
they reached police headquarters a |
collection was taken to purchase |
food for them. They devoured the
food as though they had not eaten!
for days. !
The roundup followed complaint’
from citizens in the neighborhood of !
theft of milk and bread from door-
gteps. All of those brought to the |
police station will face these charges. |

OVERTIME WORK IN RUSH
SEASON TO BE PERMITTED
A limited amount of overtime em-
ployment of females 1s at fhe dis-
posal of stores and factories to meet
the extra demands of the Christmas
season, it was announced recently
by Harry D. Immey, Director of the
Bureau of Inspection, Department of
Labor and Industry. The state-
ment was issued with the caution
that Pennsylvania employers must
plan their overtime schedules care-
fully to guard against exceeding
the limitations which are exactly
fixed by the law.
«The Woman's Law,” says the
statement, “provides that adult fe.
males normally may be employed
not more than ten hours per day,
54 hours per week, or 6 days per
week. In factories they may not
work before 6 a. m. or after 10
p. m. Girls over 18 years and
under 21 may not work anywhere
in the State before 6 a. m. or after
9 p. m., except as telephone opera-
tors. A 45 minute period must be
allowed for the mid-day meal of all
women, unless the workday is less
than 8 hours, in which event the
meal period may be reduced to 30
minutes. Minors of both sexes
under 16 years of age, under all
circumstances are restricted to em-
ployment of 9 hours per day and 51
hours per week, and they may not
work before 6a. m. or after 8p. m.
No minor under 14 years may be
legally employed at all.
“The overtime allowance,” the
statement continues, “is granted
during any week in which a legal
holiday occurs and is observed by
an establishment. The Woman's
Law provides that any female may
be employed by such an establish-
ment during three days of the holi-
day week for a maximum of two
hours overtime on each of these
three days. Consequently, Christ-
mas falling on Thursday this year,
women employed in stores or fac-
tories may work two hours over.
time on each of the first three days
of Christmas week, or a portion of
the overtime employed may take
place on Friday or Saturday of the
precéding week, it having been ruled
that any seven days inclusive of a
holiday may constitute the week in
which overtime is permissible. One
thing against which employers must
guard is an amount of overtime in
any seven days which might carry
the total working hours of the em-
ployee for those seven days beyond
the 54 hours per week which may
not be exceeded.”

MISERS HOARD MILLIONS
IN U. S. CURRENCY.
Millions in old size currency which
was replaced more than a year ago
by the new small size paper money
will never be presented for redemp-
tion, treasury officials have estimat-
ed.
Various methods of determining
the amount which will never come
back place the aggregate gain to
the governmeint at from $10,000,000
to as much as $70,000,000. In ad-
dition to amounts destroyed and lost,
the treasury believes at least $60,
000,000 has been hoarded.
Although new small sized curren.
cy began circulating 15 months ago,
a total of $890,209,000 in old size
money is still outstanding. If only
one per cent of this fails to return,
the treasury will save $8,902,090.
Joseph S. McCoy, treasuary actu-
ary, believes that hoarding of paper
money equals at least 50 cents per
capita for the 122,000,000 persons |
in the United States, or a total of |
$61,000,000.
Aggregate hoardings of paper
money, silver currency and gold is
placed by McCoy at more than
$400,000,000. This money is hoard-
ed by the estimated 8,000 misers in
this country, in children’s banks, by
foreigners who do not trust our!
banks, by those in isolated com- |
munities without banks, and by!
many who wish to keep a certain |
amount of currency always on hand. |
Catastrophies such as the Chicago |
or San Francisco fires destroy large :
amounts of currency. Thousands |
are lost annually in smaller fires or
explosions.
The fastest turnover in currency
is in the $1 bills. The average life |
of one of the old $1 hills was eight
months, so it is probable that most
of those of the old series still out
have either been destroyed or are |
hoarded. There are $340,908 of un- |
redeemed $1 bills in national bank
notes alone.
WAR PENSIONS COST
ALL OF 219 MILLIONS.
The United States paid out $219,-
000,000 in cash during the last fiscal
year as part of the cost of its wars,
the majority of which were fought
more than a half century ago.
Pension payments were sent to
464,257 persons, the annual report of |
the Bureau of Pensions reveals.
This figure represents a decrease of
13,648 from the previous year.
There are yet 10 widows whose
husbands were in the war of 1812.
They draw recompense from the
government. Widows of soldiers of
the Mexican War number 630. On
account of services in various Indian
wars, 5,454 soldiers and 4,191 widows
are on the roll, and because of serv-
ice.connected disabilities, 15,661
soldiers and 3,830 widows,
The number of Civil War veterans
dropped from 59,945 to 48,991, a de-
crease of 10.954. Of the Civil War
widows, their number fell from 181,-
235 to 167,674, a decrease of 13,561.
The number of Spanish War veter-
ans at the close or the fiscal year
was 186,365, as against 178,804 at the
beginning, an increase of 7,561, and
the number of widows 30,919 as
against 28,643, a gain of 2,276.
By classes the pension roll shows
256,615 soldiers, 199,704 widows, 2,-
262 minor children, 877 helpless chil-
dren, 4,426 dependent parents and
473 army nurses.
The exact sum expended during
the year for pensions was $219,203.
540.82, as against $229,889,986.48 for
the previous year.
FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN
— Even if the fabrics are entirely
different, the ensemble is still an
ensemble for all that. For it is now
the fashion to link dress and wrap
of entirely different material by
virtue of the color.
This type of alliance has found
more in favor than the one_fabric |°
model that, tending to become monot-
onous, is quite devoid of the little
smartness which is a prerequisite of
the mode. So many women have
enthusiastically taken up -this .type
of ensemble that it will no doubt be
a carry-over for Southern wear, as
well as for Spring, which, sartorial.
ly speaking, is nearly round the
corner.
For the tpye of ensemble here
discussed, a material merger of satin
and velvet is much liked. Satin
frocks are coming into their own
after a period of neglect and their
shimmering charm is part of every
evening picture. Beige is gaining in
favor for all types of wear, and is
being noted here with increasing fre-
quency as the season waxes and
women become more definite in their
dress demands.
A noted critic of feminine beauty
recently proclaimed business women
the best groomed group in America,
which means that they must devote
part of their leisure—those hours
from five in the afternoon until
bedtime—to the planning of their
wardrobe, going through their beauty
routines, mending their clothing and
taking care of all the ends to beauty
which are necessary to perfect
grooming.
One reason why business women
have excelled in grooming is because
necessity has organized their leisure
hours, as well as those spent at
office or shop. And that is one of
the indispensable secrets of beauty
and grooming, for there can be no
charm of beauty of appearance in a
slipshod, disorganized atmosphere.
One business girl I know takes
her weekly darning to the beauty
shop with her. She has one of
those attractive little stocking boxes,
with sections for needle, thread,
darning cotton and a thimble. When
her hair has been shampooed and
waved and the drier turned on, she |
brings out her darning and by the |
time her hair is dry her mending is
partly done.
That same girl leaves home half
an hour early in the morning so she
can walk part of the way to work,
thus getting her daily exercise. At
noon she walks for twenty minutes,
reaching a restaurant she likes in
time for a bit of luncheon. The
twenty-minute walk cuts into her
luncheon time, but she gains the
advantage of the exercise.
Two evenings each week she stays
at home, mending, sorting over her
clothes. Also on those two evenings
she goes over her fingernails, takes
special cleansing and toning facials,
gives her toenails a pedicure, checks
her wardrobe. Result is that at a
minute’s notice, on any of the oth-
er five evenings in the week, she
can step forth perfectly groomed.
I remember when she first went
to business and the frightful time
she had trying to keep herself at-
tractive. She frankly admits ~ that
the only way she could handle this
business of being self-supporting
from nine until five, and alluringly
feminine from five until
was to organize her personal activi-
ties along tke same plan that any
successful business is run.

COOPERATION WITH
GAME PROTECTOR ASKED.
There are many ways in which
the hunter can aid the game protec-
tor, such as reporting violators, re-
porting illegal deer killed by mis-
take, warning fellow sportsmen
should they thoughtlessly or delib-
erately smoke while tn the woods,
caring for any deer which they find
crippled, or dead, and so forth.
Cooperation with the game pro-
tector and his deputies as they visit
camps goes a long way towards
preventing violations thereby avoid-
ing unnecessary embarrassing condi-
tions.
Sportsmen in doubt concerning the
weight of a deer should get in touch
with the game protector or one of
his deputies, as they will carry ac-
curate scales for this purpose.
Hunters should bear in mind that
both the Resident and Special Deer
Licenses must be worn. Special
Deer Licenses are good only in the
county for which they are issued.
Farmers must first secure a Special
Free Deer License in order to hunt
these creatures upon their own
lands. They may not hunt on ad-
joining lands under the special li-
cense, however.
Only one antlerless deer may be
killed by each hunter. A hunter
who kills an antlerless deer during
the special deer season, is, of course,
also permitted to kill a buck during
the regular deer season December 1
to December 15,
Hunters who contwue in camp af-
ter the expiration of the special sea-
son must have all deer killed dur-
ing the season properly tagged and
be in a position to prove when they
were killed.

is FARM NOTES,
— Cows will eat three pounds o
silage per day for every 100 pounds
live weight.
—Milk, from a cow properly fed,
contains vitamines which are es-
sential to human health.
—Cows will eat from one to two
pounds of alfalfa hay per day for
every 100 pounds live weight.
—Alfalfa or clover hay should be
included ih the ration of calves or
yearlings being fattemed for th
market.
— Straw and poor hay can be
made more palatable if cut and
sprinkled with molasses water, made
by mixing one garon of molasses
with three or four gallons of water,
Wheat bran added to the mixture
will improve its palatability and
feeding value. :
—Experiments conducted at the
pennsylvania State College to deter-
mine the value of commercial fer-
tilizers for use in coniferous seed-
beds show that they aid in produc-
ing vigorous seedlings in the field.
—Soils deficient in lime are un-
able, even with liberal fertilizer
treatment, to produce hay of good
quality, tests at the Pennsylvania
State College revealed. Lime with
manure produced 16 per cent more
total clovers in the hay mixture and
29 per cent more red clover than
the hay produced with manure alone.
—Brood sows need exercise. They
also require some well-cured alfalfa
or clover hay. A good mineral mix-
ture will help keep the sows in con-
dition. Let them have free access
to both hay and minerals.
—Cleanliness is important in keep-
ing insects out of the household.
There is no substitute for it in the
kitchen and pantry if insects that
attack cereal products are to be
avoided.
—Bulbs that were potted in Sep-
tember and October and then set in
a dark, cool place to make root
growth are now ready to be brought
gradually into light and heat. They
should be in flower for the holidays.
—Poultry need direct sunlight and
ventilation to
keep in the best
‘health.
—Winter egg productiov is often
cut short by a limited supply of
water,
—Quite frequently poultry owners
attempt to go through the winter
with insufficient feeding and water-
ing equipment in the poultry house.
Weeks of bad weather during the
winter make it hard to care for the
flock adequately unless attention has
been given to feeding needs earlier
in the season. With the advent of
mash feeding, flocks being fed in
many instances on a mash ration
alone, mash hoppers in the winter
house become practically a necessity.
MIS Te mT mei hoon naan ee
: —Ninety-five per cent of the tur-
keys are killed, dressed and market-
ed during November and December.
About 75 per cent of all the tur-
keys consumed are sold for the
Thanksgiving and Christmas trade.
‘A comparatively small quantity
marketed at Christmas 1s stored.
The Thanksgiving turkeys are
usually not full grown or fat. The
extra month’s feed gives them a
much better finish.
They can then be sucessfully froz-
en, and thaw out bright and clear.
This freezer stock is used almost
exclusively by the hotel trade, some
of the larger hotels having .turkey

‘—Increased profits from turkey
growing as the result of co-opera-
tive marketing of the dressed fowls
has proved an incentive to farmers
in the North Platte irrigation dis-
trict in Western Nebraska. ‘“Mar-
keting dressed turkeys in car lots,”
says D. H. Propps, of the bureau of
agricultural economies in the Year-
‘book of the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture, “is one of the
most practical of co-operative mar-
keting projects.”
“The growers in a county or dis-
trict,” Mr. Propps explains, “deter-
mines approximately the number of
turkeys available for sale. Repre-
| sentatives of the growers get in
touch with prospective buyers and
‘receive from them sealed bids which
are opened at a stated time. The
entire number is then sold to the
highest bidder, who then fixes the
dates on which he wishes the dres-
sed birds to be delivered. The far-
mers dress the turkeys the day be-
fore delivery and cool them over-
night on the farms. The birds are
weighed, graded and paid for as
they are delivered. The purchaser
bears all expenses and assumes all
responsibility after the birds are re-
ceived.” *
Turkey growers realize from 50
cents to $1 for the labor of dressing.
This represents. from 15 to 20 per
cent of the value of the turkey, and
is fully three-fifths as much as the
entire feed cost of raising and fat.
tening the birds in the North Platte
district. In 1927 the growers sold
nearly 25,000 birds, and netted about
$18,000 for the work of dressing. At
turkey-dressing time neighbors often
change work, and if ore grower is
inexperienced he can usually get
a neighbor to show him the best
method of dressing the birds. Farm
dressing is usually better done than
in commercial establishments and
buyers consider this when bidding
for the turkey crop. The fact that
turkeys move to market so largely
just in advance of Thanksgiving and
Christmas is a point favoring the
co-operative sellers,
