William A. Radford outlines a shallow poultry house with a shed roof to maximize sunlight reaching the back of the building. The design uses a ten foot depth, five foot ten inch rear height, and seven foot ten inch front height to ensure ventilation and warmth for early spring eggs while keeping rodents out.
The article explains constructing a chicken house with concrete walls and floor to deter rodents, plus a straw floor for scratching. It covers roofing, wall materials, a raised foundation, roosts, droppings board, nests, and a front scratching area with sunshine, plus a dedicated feed room and a self-closing door. It ends with a note on rescuing missionaries from Liberia by a U.S. scout cruiser.
A newspaper note describes a new summer dress silhouette with a low crown brimmed hat and crepe georgette with pale shell tones. It highlights white cottons such as poplin and gabardine, khaki accents, lace, blue ribbons, and chiffon roses, presenting a practical yet stylish look for today.
