XfcfcKYien ti&y i Their Married Lifel ♦ I j By MABEL HERBERT URNER j BY MABEL HERBERT URNER Warren scowled at the array of highly colored posters that graced the front of Ketchem's Moving Picture Palace. "Nothing but thrillers. Come on, there's another place up here. Let's see what they've got." The bright lights of another "movie" house shone out a block or so ahead. But as they drew ner the flaming pos ters proclaimed even more spectacular films. Apparently the star feature was "the Viper's Fangs,' and the litho graphs showed a hair-raising scene of a. man .tied and gagged, being lowered over the side of a vessel into the black waters beneath, while a shrieking wo man, with flowing hair, was held back by swarthy sailors. Warren viewed this work of art with a grunt. "Well, what shall we do*4 Try an other place or take a chance here?" "Oh, I suppose they're all about the name," answered Helen. "And there aren't any more near here, are there?" Warren thrust his hand into his pocket and approached the ticket window. "Don't stand In the aisles, please! Keep within the tire lines!" called the usher, as they entered the darkened, crowded house. Helen clung to Warren's arm and stood on tip-toes trying to see over the shoulders of those standing in front of her. The picture on the screen was an elaborately furnished library with a man in evening dress in excited con troversy with a younger man in shab by clothes. "Dear, maybe we could get seats up stairs," suggested Helen, who hated to stand in a crowd. A Rush For Seats "Oh, we'll get seats when this pic ture's over. What's it all about, any way? One of those three reelers?" "Is that man her husband?" Helen had been trying to make out the story. "And whose child is that?" The film ended abruptly on a scene in which the older man signs a paper, and the woman falls on her knees be fore him. As the picture flashed off there was ■i general stir, and a dozen or more people came up the aisle. But those standing ahead made a rush for the best seats. "If they'd only have the seats re served," complained Helen, as they had to go far down in front. "I'd think everybody would be willing to pay a little more to avoid this scramble." "Miranda's Beau, a Comedy," was the next picture, a roaring slap-stick farce, at which Warren laughed and which put the house in an uproar. Then came "An Artist's Find." The first picture showed an attic studio, a sick wife and the artist, who has received an order for a small picture. Having no money to buy the canvas lie starts out to pawn his overcoat. "Oh, this is taken in Paris," whis pered Helen, as the artist passed a street cafe on his way to the pawn shop. "It's in the Latin Quarter, too —don't you remember that corner?" eagerly. "Dear, I think we've been in that very cafe." "Oh, you can't tell—all those street places look alike." Having pawned his overcoat, the artist stops at a curio shop, where he selects fro ma pile of old canvases one of the desired size. He takes it home, washes off the landscape daub, anil finds underneath a Madonna by an old painter. But threadbare as was this story, the street scenes and setting were real and the parts well fitted. "Dear, we're so near, it hurts mv eyes. Can't we get farther back now? I .ook, there arc some seats back there across the aisle." Warren, who hated to crawl out over people, grumblingly gathered up I his stick, hat and overcoat. A Fcuil Story The next was a Kentucky feud story, I lurid with revenge. Helen moved restively. She hated the constant shooting, emphasized by the banging of the kettle-drum. "You're too blamed critical," com mented Warren. "Those Western I Plants have to do something with I their companies." "But this isn't Western picture." "It isn't, eh? That's a California ranch, and those Kentucky Moonshin ers are the cowboys that used to swag ger around with fur breeches and six shooters. Now they've switched over to rifles, rusty frock coats, Illicit dis l>E \T!I OF MRS. MARY SHETTEIj I Special to The Telegraph West Fairview, Pa., May 23.—Mrs. j Mary «'.

Must have boen a pretty hard blow to those Western chaps when the public got tired of watching 'em ride." They did work In the horses, in a thrilling ambush scene, and Helen clutched Warren's arm as a horse was shot down with his rider. "Oh, that's brutal- It oughtn't to be allowed," in an indlgant whisper. "How DARK they shoot horses Just to make pictures?" "Now just simmer down—that's a trick horse." The opening scene of the next film was laid in an office, with an im pressive array of typewriters, letter files and safes. The plot then broad ened out. "Dear, he's rather good. He's very natural, don't you think?" as the man dictated a letter to his stenog rapher. "Fair. Girl's not bad either, but she can't fake her typewriting. Too many leaders," as another caption was flashed on. "Why don't they let the pictures tell the story?" "And the wording's sc stilted —'Carl Griscom is a Suitqr for the Hand of Ruth,'" read Helen.. "Why not 'Carl Wants to Alarry Ruth'? —that's sim pler." "That's good photography," de clared Warren. "Good lighting up act," as a butler entered a darkened room and turned up the light. A well-taken picture always ap pealed to Warren. Ho was "a good amateur photographer, and was quick to appreciate any special effects in focus and lighting. "Ain't that the same man we saw in that feature film last night?" asked a woman's voice behind them. "Yes; and he's got on that same fur overcoat." Helen looked at the fur-lined coat which the man throw to the butler with a lordly air, and wondered in how many pictures it had served. The next scene showed Ruth, weak from lack of food, failing in the snow, and being driven over by the sleigh of her former employer. "Oh, how could they get that?" for the picture showed Ruth falling, showed the sleigh passing over her arms, and then her efforts to arise. "Substituted a dummy when the sleigh ran over her. Didn't you see that slight hitch? Clever work, too," approved Warren. Then came the announcement of the spectacular feature—"The Viper's Fangs." "We'll pass that up." Warren arose. "Guess we've had our ten cents' worth come on." Helen pinned on her hat and they made their way out. "Pretty good show," as he paused in the lobby to button his coat. "And some of those films were very expensive," reflected Helen. "The photography and the settings were all fine." Helen took his arm impulsively. "Dear, everybody's writing scenarios —why shouldn't we try?" Warren sniffed. An Idea "Well, we could'write better stories than we've seen to-night." "That wouldn't be doing a whole lot." "Oh, if we could only write some REAL stories," persisted Helen. "Not spectacular films, but stories of every day life. ■ A young couple starting housekeeping, lor instance. Show them renting their apartment, huving furniture, fixing it up—all the little domestic incidents. Wouldn't that be interesting?" "Um-um, but Where's your story?" "Oh, I haven't thought it out. but I'm sure a story COULD be worked out along those lines." "It's not what the people want. The thrillers, the blood-and-thunder, gen eral hullabaloo dope—that's what they're after." "Dear, I don't believe it is! I don't believe it's what the people want. Fm sure if somebody would write a seriet. of domestic stories that were REAL oh, 1 KNOW tliey d made an appeal. If only 1 could write them!" wistfully! "Well, since about nine-tenths of the populace are trying to write for the movies, I guess the companies can worry along without your contri butions." Yet ail the way home In the subway Helen's mind was filled with vague il lusive ideas, which she felt held allur ing possibilities of fame and fortune, if they could only be crystallized into moving pictures.

Garbage From Hotels Is Dangerous For Biddy; Makes Her 111 Hens are subject to a catarrhal in llammation of the crop, due to im proper feeding, or to other unhygienic conditions connected with their care, and this manifests itself by dissension of the crop with fluids that are often sour, and a general appearance of de bility upon the part of the fowl. Garbage from hotels and large boarding houses is very liable to con tain unwholesome materials and is a somewhat dangerous food unless care fully inspected before feeding. Small quantities from private tables are not as likely, of course, to contain bits of spoiled meat and other deleterious food. The distended crop of a hen suffering from this trouble should be emptied by careful manipulation of the crop while holding the hen head downward. She should then be given a little water containing a pinch of bicarbonate of soda, as sweetener, and placed by herself where she can be fed sparingly upon soft, easily digested food until site recovers.

Successfully combat these and a line flock is almost sure to result. If the 1 ooding hen and nest can be kept free from lice before hatching time the battle is half won. Dust the nest material well when eggs are put in, and dust the hen each week, sifting the powder well through the feathers. Many turkey raisers ask the ques tion: "Why do my turkeys die when about the, size of pigeons? They grow, and seem line until then, but 1 lose sometimes half my flock at that time." In some cases it may be blackhead, and that is a bad disease to combat. Tlu> Other Enemies But there are other enemies to I young turkeys, and many are sacrl- ! ticed to causes less hard to tight. Over- j feeding is one, bringing on indigestion, j diarrhoea, liver trouble, etc. Little i turkeys must lie kept hungry and ! moving about; exercise is very essen- j tial, and they will not exercise if < er- ; fed and pampered. They need plenty I of sharp grit, and plenty of fresh wa- I ter in clean dishes. A disinfectant ! may be added, carbolic acid is g <od | for the bowels, and Is used in the j proportion of one teaspoonful car- ' bolic to one gallon of water. On the llangc When the turkeys are on range j they need be fed but once a day. Keep ! poults out of green grain. If allowed I the run of a tield of unripe grain they | will gorge themselves and die. All j grain fed tc young turkeys should be I a year old. Keep sour milk before J them, if possible, but never cooked milk. Green food must be supplied to young turkeys; they will not, at first, pick it themselves. Cut fine and mix it with bran, sour milk and raw egg. Green dandelions, dock, onion tops and mustard are all relished by tur keys. Place the coops on new ground every year, away from the chickens and feed them separately. Keep the coops dry and clean. If without floors, move to clean ground every day and In case of a continued rain sprinkle coal ashes underneath the coop. The little poults must have good care, but never pampered. Give them all the liberty possible. Study tur key nature and use common sense. Electricity to Lesson Hardships of the Miners A combined electrically operated coal-cutting and loading machine has been developed recently, the use of which will lessen the hardship on miners who have heretofore been re quired to lie in a cramped position on their backs or sides while wielding a pick in the extraction of coal from a vein. The new device consists in gen eral of an undercutting chain, two ver tical sheering chains, a pick, a sta tionary frame, a pan, on which the cutter head can be fed backward and forward, a receiving conveyor, and separate loadgln apparatus for lump and slack coal. The apparatus, which operates similarly to the breast ma chines now employed in some mines, can be placed in any working space and need not he removed until the coal is ail worked out.—Electrical World. , pouLTtmnevea BABY CHICKS IN THEIR OWN CLASS Gain 26 Times Original Weight in About Twelve Weeks Of all our domestic mimals bab, chicks stand in a class by themselves in respect to their rapidity of growth. Chicks when hatched weigh about one and one-hjilf ounces each, and they can be made to weigh 2 % pounds, or 40 ounces apiece, when twelve weeks old. This is an increase of slightly more than 26 times the original weight in twelve weeks. In other words, during the first twelve weeks of its life a little chick averages to increase in weight each week more than double Its original weight. The fact that a chick doubles its original weight in about six days gives some very valuable information as to what it should be fed. It has been proved that in the case of animals that suckle their young, that the com position of the mother's milk varies directly, according to the length of time required for the young to double its original weight. The more quickly the young animal doubles this weight, the more protein and ash constituent It receives in Its rations. In fact, this might naturally be expected to be the ease, for if the body of an animal Is to be built up quickly, it stands to rea son that the ration should be concen trated and contain an abundance of protein to form flesh, the ash constitu ents to form bone. Ten Hens Laid 61 Eggs in One Week; Fritchey's Fowls Fifth In the twenty-eighth week of the international egg laying contest an English pen of White Leghorns, ten layers, established a new high record for a single week, having laid sixty one eggs. A pen each of White and Buff Leghorns tied for second place with fifty-nine eggs each to their credit; third, fourth and fifth places for the week were also won by Leg horns, the scores being 56 eggs, 55 and 54 eggs, respectively. It will be observed that the Leghorns, tard<- in the early months of the contest, are now coming into their own. The Rhode Island Reds of Dr. John A. Fritchey, this city, continue to hold fifth place in the contest by a com fortable margin.

Question Pops Up Year After Among Poultrymen of Country ' Every year there comes up the ques •no of whether late hatches are prof ile, anil when. As a rule the early and medium hatches sire larger re turns than those near the end of the season. At the same time there need not be the same expense account for the late as for the sarly hatches. The equipment is on hand, is paid for, and will stand idle if not used for May and June hatches. The hens will be broody, at any rate, the incubators will lie cold in the cellar, and the brooders will be out of commission. If one has the time, the energy and room to handle the chicks, it is worth while to consider the matter of getting out chicks in summer weather. The commerccial poultryman wants eggs every month In the year and is often at a loss to know how to get them in August, September and Oc tober. These late hatched pullets seldom begin to lay before the middle of De cember, but they make up for their late start by doing good work through the early autumn months of the fol lowing year. Autumn eggs are worth good money of late years, and these late hatched pullets will help get it for their owner. Pullets hatched in June and July this year, well fed and cared for. will give the desired eggs in the Kali of next year, eggs that will enable the poultryman to supply his customers in the time of scarcity and at the same time boost his bank ac count. LAUGHS AT TIIE COLONIAL This will be the last day to get a laugh out of Dr. Mac Donald's won derful electrical act at the Colonial Theater. In this spectacle the doctor has turned the electric chair, usually connected only with sadness, into a laughing piece of furniture. Some six or eight persons are put through a course of sprouts at the Colonial each time the doctors turns the electricity on. Next week Bristol's ponies come to the Colonial for a full week. This is without any doubt the best equine act on the stage. More than a dozen pretty ponies are used and some ex cellent drills and trick feats are gone through. Every child in Harrisburg should be allowed to see the ponies at the Colonial next week. Advertise ment. Don't Starve Little Chicks Until They're About 2 Days Old Nearly every poultry keeper nowa days withholds food from chicks the flrst forty-eight hours of their lives. h»s • ictice has been widely advo cated by poultry experts for some 5 cars and the results obtained from such practice have, been unflonniy good. Prof. Harry Atvood, of tho \A est Virginia experiment station now says this is all wrong; that chicks may be fed safely as soon as they show an inclination to eat. This Is what he said in a recent address about this matter: "The advice is frequently given to feed chicks scantily during the flrst few days or until the contents of the yolk sack is fully absorbed. This ad vice is like much other that is founded entirely on theory. It is true that there is » considerable amount of nutritive material stored up In tho yolk sack in the case of a chick just hatched, but nature has provided this reserve material to supplement, but not to take the place of other food materials that the chick is able to get by its own efforts or by the elTorts of the mother hen."
