International personages and gave to
Fifth avenue much of its glitter and
fame are surrendering to commercial
enterprise, and the rich are, seeking
homes in new "exclusive parts of the

watched with interest this aggression
of trade, say that another decade will
have wiped out the last bit of residen

Mrs. Vanderbilt Moves.
The change In Fifth avenue was re
flected in the recent purchase of "prop

eighth street by Mrs. William K. Van

a home In a section known as Sutton
square. This bit of property is direct
ly across from Blackwell's Island,
where a city prison Is located, and . is
almost underneath, the Manhattan ap
proach . to the Queensborough bridge.
Real estate men expect that Mrs. Van
derbilt's migration to the East river
will mean a new exclusive district In
a part of the city where near-slums
existed before.
Mrs. Vanderbilt, who a few years
back helped to make Fifth avenue his
tory with her brilliant social activities,
said when she purchased the East
river property that Fifth avenue had
"lost its residential atmosphere, which
was its most valuable charm. Traffic

fore the dream of vorld-wlde com
mercial aviation can become a reality,
according to C LeRoy Melsinger, gov
ernment meteorologist here.
Mr. Melsinger In a paper discussing
the effect of air conditions on conuner
cial aviation says that meteorology Is
the mainstay of aviation, regardless of
the confidence a pilot may have in his
motor and In his plane.
xne "ocean of air," he says, con
stantly is changing and does not con
tain steadfast currents, such as the
Gulf stream and the Japan current.
which are found in oceans of water.
Must Gather Data.
Because of the constantly changing
condition of the aerial routes through
.which the air liners of the future
would travel Mr. Melsinger declares
before big commercial aviation com
panies can operate on a large scale,
great masses of data on air conditions
at all times of the year, in all places
and all circumstances must be gath
ered. He suggests placing consulting
meteorologists on the staffs of all
aviation companies to study the air as
it affects aviation and to decide daily
what altitude and what route a plane
should take from one city to another.
Air conditions are so changeable,
Mr. Melsinger says, that a plane trav
eling between the same two points
might have to take a different route
almost every day In order to make
the trip with the least danger. Also,
a plane flying from New York to Chi
cago might find a certain route .the
best, while one traveling from Chicago
to New York on the same day might
find 'an entirely different route more
favorable. ;
Things to Consider.
, Some of the things which airplane
dispatchers will have to consider, .he
says, are the speed and direction of
the wind In the area to be traversed,
the frequency of low clouds and fog,
the frequency and Intensity of thunder
storms, the vertical temperature dls
tribution, the normal values of pre
cipitation at flying fields and the effect
of atmospheric pressure on aerial In
struments,. particularly the altimeter.
: The changing conditions : in the air
make it impossible to gather the nec
essary Information in a single path

tlnues, but by gathering data in nu

averages could be devised which would

reports from the eighty-seven com

I- The Jewish Authorities Plotting
the Death of Jtsus (w. 1-5).
1. Christ's Fourth Prediction of His
Death (vv. 1, 2). He, with divine
'nslght, predicted not only t&V fact
of His death, but its time and man
ner. Death was no surprise to Him.
For this He pre-eminently came Into
the world (Heb. 2:14). He calmly
walked up to death.
2. The Authorities Plotting (vv. 3-5).
In secret conclave they were plotting
how they might silence His voice by
putting Him to death. It was the di
vine purpose that He should go to'
death. They in their wickedness were
plotting to do that which the divine
plan had ordained. 'They try by sub-
tiiity to take and kill Him. Their
plan was to do this after the Pass

II. Jesus Anointed by Mary of Beth.
any (w. 6, 7). -
For the identification of Mary see
John 12:1-8 and Mark 14:3-9. This
anointing occurred when Jesus was at
meat in Simon's house. Mary had
the keenest spiritual apprehension of
all the disciples. By sitting at His
feet in Joving fellowship she obtained
a grasp of truth which none of the'
other disciples did. .She saw that His
body "was to be broken and that His
precious life was to go out. She en
tered into fellowship with His suffer
ings and the. joys of His resurrection.
This is shown In this; wonderful sym
bolic act of bringing her most precious
possession and lavishing It upon Him.
Knowing that no loving hand could
minister to Him in that dread hour,
she did this service In loving anticipa
tion. It was the highest expression
of love. Genuine love Stakes no ac
count of cost Is not calculating.
111. The Indignation of the Disci-
pies (vv. 8, 9). , v r
The utter baseness of the disciples
is in strange , contrast ' with Mary's
love. Judas Iscariot Is the leader, but
the whole apostolic company are led
over, rne spirit or rauit nnamg is
very contagious. The One whose heart
is filled with base purposes can offer
such plausible reasons for things that
a - whole company can be swept off
their feet, not perceiving the real pur
pose underlying it all. The real thing
that hurt Judas was the losing of the
money which the ointment might have
been sold for, .not that he cared for
the .poor. r
IV. Mary Defended by Jestis (vv. 10-
13).
Jesus would not allow His most ap
preciative dischole tp He under the cen
sure, so He came to ner rescue.
Though all the disciples censured her,
He had nothing but the highest praise.
If we can but, have His praise, what
need we care for the censure of men !
He bestowed upon her the very high
est praise possible when He said, "She
hath done what she could." (Mark
14:8). In this defense Jesus teaches,
according to Doctor Erdman:
il," That no gift to Him can be too
greqt If made In grateful love (v. 10).
"She hath wrought a good work on
me." ' v
2. Care for the poor and ather du
ties which are of perpetual obligation
may give way before an opportunity
for service which cannot recur (v. 10)
"The poor ye have with you always."
Sometimes even charity is not the
highest expression of Christian devo
tion. 3. Jesus appreciates the meaning
and motive of our service (v. 12)., He
estimates them at their highest possi
ble, value and Interprets them In the
light of His own love and knowledge.
He declared that the ointment poured
-upon Him was a preparation of His
body for burial.
4. The influence of an act of Chris
tian service will never cease (v. 13).
The example of Mary is still filling the
earth with the fragrance of loving
service. Through this act of uncalcu
latlng love Mary's name has become
Immortalized. - '

CAUSE HENS. TO LAY BETTER
Matter of Feeding During Cold Weath
er Entails Use of ' Large Amount
of Common Sense.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
", Inent of Agriculture.)
On the feeding of the flock depends
to a Jarge extent not only the general
health of the birds, but also the
economy which promotes success." It
is a subject," however, which should be
studied with a large amount of com
mon sense, for there are no hard and
iuSL ruies v
fast rules which can be laid down as
applying to every case. The price of
feeds and the. general environment
should be considered in determining
the right rations, say poultry special
ists of the United States Department
of Agriculture.
For the largest profit a good pro
portion of the eggs should be secured
during the winter. If two extra eggs
a week can be obtained from each hen
a good profit will be made, while If
the product Is Increased by only one
egg a week, in winter, this one egg will
pay for all the feed the, hen eats. To
obtain this greater , production not
only . should the fowls . be 'young and
of a good laying breed, but the feeder,
should have full knowledge of the
proper feed und Its preparation.
Th nutriment In the feed of laying
hens serves a twofold purpose to re
pair waste and- furnish heat to the
body and to supply the egg-making
materials. A$ only the surplus over
what Is needed for the body Is avail-.
able for egg production, the proper
feeds should be fed In sufficient quan
tities to induce this , production.
In supplying feed to fowls there are
three kinds of constituents which
should be present in certain fairly
well-fixed i proportions If the desired
results are to be obtained most eco
nomically. . These constituents are
mineral, nitrogenous and carbona
ceous; all which are contained in corn,
wheat, oats and barley, but not In the
right proportions to give the greatest
egg yield. In addition some animal
feed and green feed should be sup
plied. ,
Green Feed Is Quite Essential to the
Production of Eggs in Winter."
In feeding poultry a valuable lesson
may be learned from nature. In spring
the production of eggs on the farm Is
an easy matter. Fowls at liberty to
roam find an abundance of green and
animal feed on their range, which with
grain furnishes a perfect ration for
laying hens. In addition to this they
get plenty of exercise and fresh air.
So far as lies within his power, then,
the feeder should aim to make the
winter conditions springlike.;
RED MITES VERY INJURIOUS
Insects Lower Vitality,' Produce Anae
mia, Reduce Egg Production and
Annoy Fowls.
Red mites are blood-sucking insects
that live In the houses, in the cracks
about the nests, droppings boards,,
and perches during the day and crawl
onto the bodies of the birds at night,
doing serious Injury. -"Red ."mites low-
er vitality, produce anaemia, lower
egg production and greatly, annoy the
hens. They can be easily gotten rid
of by painting the Infested places in
the house with vjres tar, diluted . with
equal parts with kerosene, or by carbo
lineum, or one of many good, commer
cial perch paints. It: should be kept
In mind that the place to fight the
mites is the house and .not the birds
themselves.
CURE FOR EGG-EATING HABIT
Owner Should Make Good Use of Ax
on Hen That Hit Acquired De
. ; prated Appetite.
The hen that eats her own eggs and
those of other hens has formed a habit
that cannot be broken. Cut off her
head with an ax. A depraved appe
tite may be acquired by seeing some
other hen eat an egg. as one hog learns
from another to eat chickens. A lack
