Dow endorses pure breeds Plymouth Rock and Light Brahmas, warns against crossing, and notes medium capons seven to eight pounds are most saleable.

Women Assist Treasury as Counterfeit Detectives
In treasury work women excel at counting mutilated currency and detecting fakes. A single clerk identified a dangerous counterfeit $100 bill, noting her intuition.
