A GIRL AND
A New and Vital Romance of City Life

"In the first place. Agnes," Philip
began In self-defense, "you made mat
ters rather difficult for me as soon as
you learned that Dad was going to let
me work with him this Sujnmer. You
then and there exacted a promise that
I would say nothing to him of the
friendship between you and myself."
"You had not mentioned it to him
before," the girl remarked. "When
I learned this—through your father's
evident ignorance with regard to me
—I saw no reason for your breaking
your former silence."
"As long as dad had never met you,
the case was entirely different," he in
sisted. "Had he met you at church,
for instance, and had he spoken to
me of you. I would have said imme
diately that I had known you for a
year already. But until he did have
an opportunity to see for himself how
attractive you are. I saw no reason for
saying anything to him about you."
"I understand," Agnes said, a note
of bitterness in her tone.
She perceived that, quite uncon
sciously to himself, Philip had realized
that his father would resent his at
tentions to a milliner's niece. Yet,
she reminded herself swiftly, Phil had
evidently considered her presentable
enough to impress Mr. Hale agreeably.
But until her personality could make
him forget her humble origin, the son
did not care to have his parent know
of the intimacy between her and him
self.
"Why do you speak In that tone?"
the boy challenged.
"Go on with what you were saying,
please," Agnes urged.
"Well —then just as I had made
up my mind to tell Dad all about you,
you insisted that I hold my tongue.
You know you did. And it was pretty
hard."
"I don't see why."
A Sharp Rebuke
"Because, Agnes, you mean a lot to
me, and—"
"Wait!" she exclaimed sharply.
"Please, Phil, stick to your subject.
Whether you found it easy or not, is
beside the question. You must ac
knowledge that you promised to be
lu.ve towards me as you would to
wards anyone else in the employ of
Hale & Balnbridge. And you have not
done it. You must keep your prom
ises better. Phil."
"But it's only fair that Dad should
know how fine you are," he de
clared.
She laughed, her sense of humor
coming for the moment to her aid.
"If you have to tell him of my good
characteristics before he can recog
nize them they cannot be very ob
vious," she teased.
But he was painfully in earnest now
and would not smile.
"You understand what I mean, Ag
nes. If father knew that it was you
who had coaxed me to stay at college.
If he itnew that it was for your sake
that I boned down and studied —he
would appreciate you."
"I am his secretary," she remind
ed him. "He did not engage me for
any other duties. And he would like
me less, not more, if you told him
those things you have just mentioned.

SATURDAY EVENING,
And, by the way. Just what did you
say to him yesterday when he asked
for an explanation of your note and
of your talk with me?"
The lad flushed hotly. "Tell me,
Phil," she persisted. "I have a right
to know, for I must rule my con
duct accordingly."
"He spoke rather disagreeably,"
Philip acknowledged, flushing even
redder than before. "He said he
would not have me sending notes to
his clerks. He added that, had you
not affirmed In my presence that
you and I had met for the first time
when he introduced us, he would
have fancied that we had known
each other before—but that, of
course, he could not doubt vour word.
"Oh, Agnes"—ampatiently "can't
you see what a quandary I was in?
Had I said that we were friends, he
would have accused you of an un
truth. Yet, to let the matter stand,
was awful. 1 could not do it."
"So you said—what?" Agnes de
manded.
"I told him that perhaps you had
forgotten for the moment that we
had met at a church sociable some
months ago, and that was the rea
son I felt well enough acquainted
with you to send a line asking if 1
might call on you."
His Difficult Position
"Philip Hale!" she exclaimed.
"Well, what else could I have
said ?" the young man argued.
"You could have told him" then
she stopped. Truly, what could he
have said that would not be false
or would not break his promise to
her not to divulge actual facts?
And as she saw this, a sudden wave
of resentment swept over her.
"It's Just as I told you!" she de
clared impetuously. "You yourself
have brought about this state of af
fairs by your manner to me. I
should think that if you are my
friend, that if you value my peace
of mind and welfare, you would
have done as I begged!"
"You mean." he accused, his own
anger rising at sight of hers, "that
I am not your friend? Is that what
you mean?"
"Oh, I don't know what I mean!"
she wailed. "Yes —one thing I do
know—and that is that if you do not
behave in such a way as to satisfy
your father and to stop gossip in
the office, I shall look for another
position—that's all!"
She did not try to stop him as he
sprang to his feet and took up his
hat. She, too, rose, and the pair
stood facing each other. Both had
quick tempers, and both were very
angry.
"I regret," Philip said stiffly,
"that my actions have shown a lack
of regard for your comfort."
"So do 1!" she retorted. "I must
ask you to be more careful in
future!"
The color had left his face by now,
and he was white with wrath.
"Good night!" he said formally.
"Good night!" she returned as
formally.
When the door had closed behind
him she dropped ifito a chair and
burst into tears.

El Paso, Tex., Sept. 2. —Francisco
Villa, at the head of three hundred to
five hundred men, is making his way
north for a final blow at the United
States, according to official despatches
from Chihuahua City, which passed
the General Trevino censors.
General George Bell, Jr., command
ing tho United States troops, announc
ed last night a Mexican, believed to be
Hipolito Villa, brother of the bandit
chief, had been arrested by military
authorities and is in detention.
One current report was that Hipo
lito Villa had been seized while on
board a train approaching El Paso and
placed in the post prison at Fort Bliss.
He left El Paso at the downfall of the
Villa revolution, of which he had been
financier and purchasing agent, and
went to Havana. Cuba. His reported
return to the Mexicap border arouse'd
interest in connection with the fact
that Francisco Villa and his bandits
are moving north through Chihuahua.

Seam Allowance ) Gathered Skirt, 24:
to 30 waist.
Thia> is one of the most graceful and
prettiest of all the full skirts that has
appeared. The front and back are cut
full length and can be shirred or simply
gathered at their upper edges, but the
sides are made in sections and are joineid.
The lower sections can be finished with
frills or they can be cut off, as indicated in
the very small view. In whichever way
they are treated, the skirt will be a
thoroughly satisfactory one, charming for
silk, for crgpe, for net and for all similar
materials, and also for the simpler cotton
voiles and the like. Incidentally, it is
one of the simplest possible skirts to make
for there are only a few seams to sew,
there is no fitting to be accomplished, so
that not even the amateur can fail of
success. In the picture, taffeta is shown
and taffeta is, perhaps, especially desirable
for the frilled effect.
For the medium size will be needed, Jl4

Majority of Infantile
Victims Under 5 Years
By Associated Press
New York, Sept. 2. More than
three-fourths of the children who have
died of infantile paralysis in New York
City in the epidemic which has pre
vailed for the last three months were
less than five years old, according to
figures issued by the Department of
Health. The total number of deaths
from this disease for the three months
is given as 1,922. Of these 1,499 were
of children less than five years old.
The figures Show that apparently the
most susceptible age is between one
and two years, as the greatest number
of deaths were of children of that age,
while the number of deaths decreased
rapidly with each additional year.
The figures afford some interesting
comparisons. At all ages the male
victims outnumbered the female at an
average ratio of about four to three,
the total deaths of men and boys be
ing 1,119 and of women and girls 803.

Preparing Pullets For
Autumn Egg Production
For a number of years Sicilian But
tercups have appeared in the poultry
exhibits of the United States, and ex
cept for their oddity of comb and color
markings they found little favor. Re
cently breeders have found them to be
excellent layers.
They are an Italian production, na
tive to the Island of Sicily, and numer
ous importations have been made from
that country. Apparently this breed
has been bred so long in that island
that its origin has been forgotten, for
all attempts to trace it have been
futilf. In Sicily they are known as the
"Patera Opulentae," meaning sacred
cup of riches, and were formerly used
in religious sacrifices.
The first Sicilians were brought to
America by the captain of a ship trad
ing between Sicily and Boston, who
took on a crate of these fowls for food.
The captain noticed that the hens laid
well, and for this reason they were not
eaten as intended. They made such a
good record on the voyage over that
Successful Management
Means Comfortable Living
Quarters and Proper Feed
ing
Discussion of the Relative
Merits of Grain Rations
and Animal Foods
By Prof. James B. Morman
Former Expert for the United States
Department of Agriculture.
It is well recognized that pullets
make better layers than liens. But
pullets do not always begin to lay in
the Fall when eggs are scarce and
high in price. Probably it is because
they were not hatched sufficiently
early, or they were not properly man
aged. The purpose of this article is to
tell how pullets may be fitted for fall
and winter laying.
Egg laying in late fall and early
winter is not In accordance with nat
ural law. Fowls are domesticated wild
birds. The natural period for laying
is during spring and early summer.
Therefore, to get eggs from pullets in
winter, it is necessary to give growing
chickens special care and attention.
The first essential to success is to
keep the young birds growing steadily.
Tho pullets should be separated from
the cockerels when about three months
old. When four months o£ age the
pullets should be growing into promis
ing layers. At this age they should be
given every opportunity to mature
naturally. But it is a mistake to force
pullets too rapidly. Such a practice
may produce a few more eggs at the
start, but it will usually result in dis
appointment. The pullets may moult.
In that case egg production In winter
will cease. Or the pullets will not
reach normal size when they begin to
lay; in that case the eggs will probably
be small In size. By no means force
pullets by overfeeding with such high
animal protein feeds as ground bone,
meat, scraps, fish scraps or skim milk.
They need small .amounts of animal
protein for proper growth and normal
agg production, but overfeeding is fatal
to success.
To be properly fitted for laying a
pullet should be In full flesh with a
small amount of surplus fat. The lat
ter is required to maintain the normal
body heat as cold weather comes on.
Body heat is constantly being radiated,
and the supply must be kept up by
means of fat. To produce a proper
amount of fat, growing pullets must
be fed a balanced ration. How to do
this successfully is one of the prob
lems of poultry raising.
Advantages of Penning Pullets
It Is good practice to pen pullets by
themselves when being Btted for win
ter egg laying. The pens should be
prepared as early In the fall as pos
sible. They should be properly cleaned
and thoroughly disinfected. If pos
sible, each pen should have a good size
yard and have roosting i,ud.rters,
scratching pen, dust bath and nesting
places. These should all be under
cover, well lighted, and dry and well
ventilated. Cleanliness and roominess
tend to keep growing pullets healthy
and vigorous, and both are essential
to successful egg production; ,
Another advantage of penning pul
lets by themselves is to provide for
normal development. It is not always
easy to do this successfully. All poul
try feeds contain different combi
nations of water, protein, starches, fats
and mineral salts. These elements are
required by chickens for their growth.
It is very important, however, to pro
vide feeds in sufficient quantity and
variety to allow for organic wastes and
normal development. To this end it
is a good plan to provide certain feeds
in hoppers that growing pullets may
help In balancing their own rations.
Guarding Against Illness
But feeding and housing are not the
only precautions necessary for fitting
pu.Hets to lay successfully. It is not
wise to let pullets run at large in wet
grass or weeds during the fall months.
If the under feathers about the abdo
men get wet, the pullets soon have a
bedraggled appearance. If the abdo
men gets wet and is chilled by the
raw fall winds, bowel trouble or some
other local ailment is likely to arise.
"While sickness of this nature is not
apt to prove fatal, It affects the vigor
of the pullet*. Their health is likely
to become more or less undermined
and this will delay or prevent their
laying. This condition should certainly
be avoided if one is striving for profit
able winter egg production.
If pullets are kept off the wet grass
ana long weeds, they keep themselves
neat, clean and healthy. Under these
SICILIAN BUTTERCUPS
he had no trouble disposing of the
fowls to a fancier in Bosotn. This
gentleman named them Sicilian But
tercups. on account of the peculiar
comb formation, and strove to intro
duce them to American breeders. They
enjoyed a slight popularity, but the
interest waned and was not renewed
until within the last few years.
E>.perienced poultrymen have found
in this breed a rival to the famous
Leghorns as an egg machine. In color
the female is a yellowish buff, spotted
with dark brown over the back wings
and part of the fluff. The male is a
reddish color with black tall and some
dark spots in the fluff. Some show
more spots than this, but are not so
desirable. Both sexes have a yellowish
green leg, dark beak and a peculiar
cup-shaped comb.
The checks grow and feather rapidly
and reach early maturity, beginning to
lay as quickly as Leghorns. When full
grown they are about the size of
Leghorns.
conditions pullets are fitted for either
production or exhibition purposes.
If the latter is the object of the poul
try keeper, they need no artificial
preparation for exhibition by washing
anil flouring. But whatever the object,
the rules for the care and manage
ment of pullets here outlined will be
found very., helpful. To give their
feathers a smooth and glossy appear
ance, a little oil meal should be fed
occasionally.
During the fall and Winter egg pro
duction depends largely upon success
ful methods of feeding. If pullets are
penned by themselves, where they can
maintain their activity by being fed
plenty of nourishing food, the prob
lem of winter egg production is more
than half solved. An outline of good
feeding practice is as follows:
As fail comes on and the pullets are
inclined to stay in their quarters, throw
a small quantity of scratch feed In
their pens the first thing in the morn
ing This keeps them active. Such a
pen should be supplied with about
four or six inches of litter. Equal parts
of straw, hay and leaves make a good
scratching material. The pen should
be dry and well lighted. The object is
to give the pullets a chance to act as
nature dictates. It is as natural for
them to scratch as it is to eat, and
for successful egg production the poul
tryman cannot imitate natural con
ditions too closely.
Every grain the pullets get should
be the result of their activity, which is
possible if the grain is thrown into
deep litter. This keeps them occupied
no matter what the weather may be.
If active pullets are thus made to work
for their grain, there will be little
danger of overfeeding. Moreover, if
such rations are not properly balanced,
the pullets can eat more corn and
other fattening grains without inter
rupting their normal development.
A good scratching pen thus becomes
a valuable adjunct to successful feed
ing. The energy expended in scratch
ing for the grain helps to keep the pul
lets healthy, and experience has
demonstrated that the active and
healthy pullets make the best layers.
In addition to grain, the pullets should
oe supplied with plenty of green feed,
fresh water, charcoal, oyster shell and
grit. These may b6 supplied in self
feeding hoppers.
Complete Grain Ration
For pullets about to lay, no poultry
man should be without such standard
grains as corn, wheat and oats. Other
necessary feeds are meat scraps or
meat meal, bran, middlings, cornmeal
and ground oats. A good commercial
scratch feed is essential because it fur
nishes a variety of grains at a fair
price. The keeper of a few fowls or a
small flock will find it as cheap to use
scratch feed as to attempt to mix one's
own rations.
As a rule scratch feeds are scien
tifically prepared. The object is to
supply a balanced grain ration. They
are valuable for meeting the organic
demands of laying fowls. A good
scratch feed usually contains cracked
corn, wheat, oats, kafflr, barley, buck
wheat, sunflower seed and even other
grains. These are all needed by layers.
They form a complete grain ration,
since they contain the proper propor
tions of protejn, carbohydrates and
fats; they provide for body wastes,
normal growth, complete development
and egg formation.
Recent tests by the United States
Department of Agriculture show that
fowls given certain feeds selected 63
per cent, of cornmeal, 20 per cent, of
beef scrap and 17 per cent, of bran
and middlings. Such a ration consists
of the essential food elements of pro
tein, carbohydrates and fats. Pullets
must have all three forms of food sub
stances.
If supplied with the necessary feeds,
fowls will usually balance their own
rations. Besides grain, natural foods
for fowls are grubs, insects, worms and
other things found in the fields. Under
domestic conditions these things can
not be supplied. Some form of animal
protein must take the place of natural
insect food. Consequently, growing
pullets need fresh ground bone, meat
scrap, fish scrap or skim milk for egg
production.
If such materials are kept before
pullets, they will usually eat only suf
ficient for normal needs. Experiments
by the Indiana Experiment Station
have shown that laying pullets must
have animal protein in some form to
produce eggs profitably. Thus four
pens of pullets were fed precisely the
same grain ration, but one pen re
ceived meat scrap in addition, one fish
scrap and one skim milk. The other
pen received the grain ration only. In
one year each pullet of the pen fed
meat scrap laid 135 eggs; the pullets
fed fish scrap laid 128 eggs each;
thopo fed skim milk laid 135 eggs each,
while the pullets which were fed only
grain laid an average of 32 eggs.
The profit from the pen fed meat
ecrap was $1.55 per pullet; that from
SEPTEMBER 2, 1916.

laying pullets. But such a ration is
necessary for the production of sur
plus energy for egg formation. In late
fall and early winter a great deal of
heat is radiated from the bodies of
pullets. No eggs will be formed until
provision is made for the production
of all energy required in body activi
ties. Hence pullets intended for egg
production should be provided with all
feeds needed for balancing their ra
tions and developing surplus energy.
When pullets have been raised to
the laying age the surplus energy de
rived from the digestion and assimi
lation of food is used for forming and
developing eggs. The energy thus re
quired can be provided in no other
way. The poultry keeper cannot ex
pect to get eggs unless sufficient food
is digested and assimilated to provide
a surplus of energy. A variety of feeds
in abundance is essential for egg pro
duction. This is especially important
in winter when so much energy is
radiated from the body.
The care of pullets in fall is essen
tial for laying the foundation of suc
cessful egg production in winter. But
the one who is looking for a bountiful
supply of eggs must be prepared to
feed liberally as here outlined. There
will be no difficulty then in making
poultry keeping a financial success.
Almost every household throws
away enough table scraps to feed
a small flock of hens. This is waste
—table scraps make an excellent
poultry food—they are a valuable
byproduct, and with very little
trouble they can be converted into
eggs. M. L. Chapman discusses this
subject in next week's article.

Edison is Right!!!
You admit the International Correspond
ence Schools are a good thing. You'd taka
a course right now "if"—"except"—
"If" what? If you weren't so "over
worked," with 6uch "long hours," or had
more strength and energy?
Wasn't it Edison who stayed up half the
night educating himself in spite of every
handicap you could ever have?
All big men who have made their mark in
the world had the ambition—the determina*
tion—to improve their spare time, to train
themselves for big work. You, too, can pos
sess power, money and happiness if you'll
only make the effort.
Here'sail we ask: Merely mail thiscoupon.
