Home Bureau Conference 
Successful Meeting of State Workers 
R esidents of New York city, or, 
at the other extreme, of isolated com¬ 
munities of the State, would have been 
amazed had they dropped into any of 
the meetings at the recent conference 
of extension workers in home-making 
held in New York. 
Demonstration agents from the home 
bureaus of the State, specialists and 
leaders from Ithaca and representatives 
of the Home Bureau Federation, mar¬ 
shaled by the energetic president, Mrs. 
A. E. Brigden, made up the attendance. 
Many New York State women, city 
and country alike, may never have real¬ 
ized that there is such an organization 
as the Home Bureau established in 35 
counties, with 3,104 members. Yet here 
were 60 representatives of the State 
College of Agriculture, which is behind 
this organization, spending five crowd¬ 
ed non-union houred days discussing its 
past, present and future problems. 
Aims of Home Bureau 
The aims of the Home Bureau are 
many: to bring the woman on isolated 
farms into a consciousness of neigh¬ 
bors, to help her with her home prob¬ 
lems, and to band the women of the 
State together for organized commu¬ 
nity work. This is done partly by direct 
contact with the agent in the county, 
and partly by projects conducted by 
specialists from the school of home eco¬ 
nomics. Projects conducted last year, 
and to be continued next, were on cloth¬ 
ing, with special emphasis on its selec¬ 
tion and care; nutrition, showing the 
connection between food habits and 
health; household management and ar¬ 
rangement of kitchens and labor-saving 
equipment; health in anti-cold and 
anti-fly campaigns; and the selection of 
inexpensive household furnishings and 
color and material in design. Women 
who are unable to come out to meetings 
may follow the projects at home b^y 
directions sent from the school. 
The field of the home bureaus is 
increasing so rapidly that the agent in 
charge of each county is in danger of 
finding herself scheduled with more 
work than she can possibly get through. 
Unless she is given assistance, some 
essentials in her work will have to 
be neglected. How to develop in each 
county local leadership that will re¬ 
lieve the agent and at the same time 
develop the ability of individual women 
was one problem discussed at the con¬ 
ference. Local leaders are women 
trained by the specialists from the 
school of home economics who represent 
the agents in the communities. 
‘‘Seeing New York” Trip 
The members of the conference saw 
at first hand the important part that 
the fluid milk from up-State farms 
plays in the lives of New York City 
school children. Through the courtesy 
of Miss Laura Gamble, nutritionist 
with the New York office of the Dairy¬ 
men’s League Association, and Dr. 
Blumenthal, acting head of the Division 
of Child Welfare of the New York City 
Department of Health, the women vis¬ 
ited several city schools and health cen¬ 
ters where milk is used. 
The extension workers saw the work 
of the New York City Tuberculosis As¬ 
sociation in the schools, and learned 
that through 70 milk stations five or 
six million quarts of milk a year are 
used by this association in its work 
with children alone. 
A trip through the crowded streets* 
of New York in city busses, which 
have right of way, was in itself a 
thrilling experience. The last visit was 
to Bronx Park, where the Dairymen’s 
League has placed in the zoo a pure¬ 
bred Holstein cow. It has been esti¬ 
mated that 50 per cent of the city chil¬ 
dren have never seen a cow. One 
youngster, in fact, remarked at the 
sight of the cow’s horns, “What are the 
handle bars for?” 
It was felt that the conference broke 
all records for attendance and work 
accomplished. Comments from the 
floor were frank, pointed and construc¬ 
tive. Such varied tuples as the value 
of mingling play judiciously with work, 
of making one’s free time actually free, 
and of giving thought to the important 
details of personal appearance, vied in 
interest with those of planning sched¬ 
ules, of guiding group discussions to 
save time and reach the goal, and 
of suggesting new and much-needed 
projects for next year.—A lice Blinn. 
THE NEWEST SWEATER STYLE 
_ Here is the sweater for the summer 
girl of 1923! A sleeveless tuxedo with 
rolled-back reveres and sleeve edges in 
checkered design of contrasting colors, 
it may be worn under a coat or with a 
separate waist and skirt when the 
weather gets warmer. 
Canary yellow is a very popular 
shade this year. So is Lanvin green, 
like the old reseda, but a little softer. 
Mountain Haze is a lovely, soft blue, 
with a good deal of lavender to it. And 
black and white appears in many odd 
combinations. There is also a “rain¬ 
bow” yarn which shades gently from 
one pale shade to another. 
Instructions for making the tuxedo 
sweater ElO will be sent upon receipt 
of 12c in stamps.

pauvre Seth!” Buck sighed comically. 
“He will be just twenty-four hours 
late.” 
“You old he-fox!” Bryce murmured. 
“You wicked, wicked man!” 
Buck Ogilvy lifted his lapel and 
sniffed luxuriously at his white carna¬ 
tion, the while a smile played around 
his humorous mouth. “Ah,” he mur¬ 
mured; life’s pretty sweet, isn’t it!” 
CHAPTER XXX 
VENTS followed each other with 
refreshing rapidity. While the 
crew of the big locomotive got up 
steam, Sexton and Jules Rondeau toiled 
at the loading of the discarded boiler 
and heavy castings aboard two flat¬ 
cars. This task was completed by noon, 
and the mogul backed up the main line 
past the switch into the Laguna 
Grande yards; whereupon the switch- 
engine kicked the two flat-cars and the 
wrecking-car out of the yard and down 
to the crossing, where the obstructions 
were promptly unloaded. 
To Sexton’s annoyance, Bryce Cardi¬ 
gan and Buck Ogilvy appeared on the 
scene, both very cheerful and lavish 
with advice as to the best method of 
expediting the job in hand. To Bryce’s 
surprise Jules Rondeau appeared to 
take secret enjoyment of this good- 
natured chaffing.

White Diarrhea 
Remarkable Experience of Mrs. 
C. M. Bradshaw in Prevent¬ 
ing White Diarrhea 
The following letter will no doubt be 
of utmost interest to poultry raisers 
who have had serious losses from White 
Diarrhea. We will let Mrs. Bradshaw 
tell of her experience in her own words: 
“Gentlemen: I see reports of so 
many losing their little chicks with 
White Diarrhea, so thought I would 
tell my experience. I used to lose a 
great many from this cause, tried 
many remedies and was about dis¬ 
couraged. As a last resort I sent to 
the Walker Remedy Co., Dept. 437, 
Waterloo, Iowa, for their-Walko White 
Diarrhea Remedy. I used two 50c 
packages, raised 300 White Wyandot- 
tes and never lost one or had one sick 
after giving the medicine and my chick¬ 
ens are larger and healthier than ever 
before. I have found this company 
thoroughly reliable and always get the 
remedy by return mail.—Mrs. C. M. 
Bradshaw, Beaconsfield, Iowa.” 
Cause of White Diarrhea 
White Diarrhea is caused by the Bac¬ 
illus Bacterium Pullorum. This germ 
is transmitted to the baby chick 
through the yolk of the newly hatched 
egg. Readers are warned to beware 
of White Diarrhea. Don’t wait until 
it kills half your chicks. Take the 
“stitch in time that saves nine.” Re¬ 
member there is scai^cely a hatch with¬ 
out some infected chicks. Don’t let 
these few infect your entire flock. Pre¬ 
vent it. Give Walko in all drinking 
water for the first two weeks and you 
won’t lose one chick where you lost 
hundreds before. These letters prove it: 
Never Lost a Single Chick 
Mrs. L, L. Tam, Burnetts Creek, 
Ind., writes: “I have lost my share of 
chicks from White Diarrhea. Finally 
I sent for two packages of Walko. I 
raised over 500 chicks and I never lost 
a single chick from White Diarrhea. 
Walko not only prevents White Diar¬ 
rhea, but it gives the chicks strength 
and vigor; they develop quicker and 
feather earlier.” 
Never Lost One After First Dose 
Mrs. Ethel Rhoades, Shenandoah, 
Iowa, writes: “My first incubator 
chicks, when but a few days old, began 
to die by the dozens with White Diar¬ 
rhea. I tried different remedies and 
was about discouraged with the chick¬ 
en business. Finally, I sent to the 
Walker Remedy Co., Waterloo, Iowa, 
for,a box of their Walko White Diar¬ 
rhea Remedy. It’s just the only thing 
for this terrible disease. We raised 
700 thrifty, healthy chicks and never 
lost a single chick after the first dose.”
