A fragmentary notice of a work titled The Black Box of Silence by William Gerard Chapmos, with copyright attribution and author mention. The readable text presents author name and title, suggesting a literary item or catalog entry from a periodical. No publication details or dates are available in the readable portion.
In the Crathage theater a dramatic moment unfolds as Owen Sands and Walter Markham test a new radio powered device in a theater box. They discuss ethics and potential uses while fearing criminal applications, and Markham hints at funding through his businessman father. Betty Lawson’s presence adds personal stakes as the box vanishes from Landis’s safe at dawn.
Markham and Bald uncover a security breach after a safe is opened by someone who knew the combination. They suspect Betty’s innocence but fear a trusted link in the chain. A reveal of how a child’s curiosity toward safes could unlock motive and opportunity drives the tension.

Massachusetts experiment station tracked Rhode Island Reds over six years with two hatchings yearly. At 21 weeks March pullets averaged five pounds, ranging 4.83 to 5.18 pounds. May pullets averaged 4.27 pounds. Price effects from weight influence hen value, especially for hens under four and a half pounds.
The light movable shelter is praised as a major poultry housing improvement since the open front design. It offers easily movable quarters, ample ventilation, cool roosting spaces, and reduced mites and dust, providing wild-bird like conditions on suitable ranges.
The notice describes handling broody birds by removing them from nests after dark and banding their legs with a celluloid band, then returning them to slat-bottom nests for three days. It states repeating broodiness warrants culling the hen, noting inherited traits like shank color and plumage as distinguishing marks.
A University of Wisconsin poultryman suggests lowering flock costs by culling year-old hens and keeping them for another year if well bred. They have passed peak depreciation and can still prove productive though egg yield may be lower. Replacing with pullets reduces disease hazards and supports brood replacements where possible.
A cautious guide advises ensuring premises and brooders are free of lice and mites before chicks arrive. It recommends painting or spraying the brooder with four parts evaporated petroleum to one part kerosene, allowing thorough drying before use, and applying insect powder to chicks about weekly to eradicate pests.
A Los Angeles Times note claims Washington bicentennial stamps will exceed celebration costs as many enter collectors’ hands rather than mail use. It asserts Uncle Sam profits from poor circulation while lauding the era’s etiquette rules, including napkin draping.
