DAY* after day Secretary Mellon and Ambassadors Edge negotiated witjr the French officials in Paris in the effort to reconcile the moratorium plans of President Hoover and Premier Laval, and in Washington the President and Acting Secretary of State Castle were almost constant-

Preijider Laval, who was continually receiving the advice and assistance ©f Finance Minister Flandin and others, stood firmly on the position Ju* ha<J assumed, and the senate, by a vota of I'.G to backed him up. virtually giving him a free hand so long as heldid not recede. This huge vote <iid n<M indicate that the senate had confidence in Laval, however.

This was in effect an ultimatum to Frame that m’ T < " she accepted the Hoover plait she was likely to be left out in the cold. The warning was conveyed that if the President's project failed, Germany certainly would apply for a moratorium on reparations as provided by the Young plan, and this, Mr. Hoover figured, would < ■ Franco Slisi noo,tuxioisi more than would the floover moratorium. -Behind the polite ph: -- | in the memorandum aeenn .

U r ILEY PQST and Harold Hatty. ’ V American aviators, set their monoplane, the Winnie Mae, down at Ito.f. b!-. New York, Wednesday evening. They had accomplished the! remarkable feat of flying around the globe, approximately 15.475 miles. In S days 15 hours and 51*4 n new mark for other flyers to khoot at. They set out to break the record of Si days made by the dirigible Graf Zeppelin, ami they smashed It to bits. Great skill In piloting and navigating, unconquerable courage and nerve and a plane that functioned perfectly all contributed to the success of this ejvochal flight. The route followed by flyers took them from New York to Harbor Grace. N. F.; thence successively to Chester. England; Berlin. Moscow. Nbvosibersk, Irkutsk. Blagov* yeshebensk. Khabarovsk, Solomon and Fairbanks, Alaska: Edmonton. Canada; Cleveland. Ohio, and back to New York. They met with no serious accident but at times flew, through high winds and rainstorms. New York city on Thursday gave the aviators the usual showy and noisy welcome, with parade, speeches and reception by Mayor Jimmie Walker. But they were too tired to mind this much. President Hoover Invited them to luncheon at the White House, and they received the congratulations of eminent persons all over the world. It Is estimated that Bost and Gatty will realise about $50,000 each from their wonderful flight—and they certainly. earned it. WHAT was the President’s national commission on law enforcement and observance, better known as the Wlekeraham commission. went out of existence with the close of Jone, and 1* now just eleven men and women. On Tuesday the flue furniture and equipment were moved out of Its offices; after midnight the unexpended remainder of its $500,000- appropriation reverted to the government; and Chairman Wlckeraham by that time was the only member left in the National Capital Sticklers for exactness said the ’wmmterion will not actually cease to

exist until a ; final history of Its activities ami expenditures is written and is accepted by President In order'to (attain this end a temporary commission headquarters has been established near the White House, equipped to accommodate only the chairman Sand a small staff. There the fifteenth rej»ort will be written. Here Is tie commission’s record: Ten reports have been delivered to the government printer or deposited at the White House; four others, one of them the still-controverted study of prohibition, have t»een made public. i Since midwinter the commission has completed reports upon the deportation of alieris, •’lawlessness in law enforcement,’’ crime among the foreign born. juvenile delinquency, the work of the jmlice. prisons, probation and parole, pie costs and causes of crime and a “progress report" ui>on the work of ]the courts, to be carried on by private agencies.

PRESIDENT HOOver’s request to the federal farm board for a definite statement of its policy brought a response from the board, throngh Chairman James C. Stone, in which its policy as announced on March 23 is virtually- restated. Pleas from the Middle West and

J. C. Stone

Southwest that the board commit itself to keep its Immense wheat holdings off the market, either for a stated period or under a fixed price level, are •4. . ' one important concession is made. The board agrees to limit sales of its wheat to 5,<j00,000 bushels a month, this limit to run on a cumulative basis, the unused portions of the quota to be good for succeeding months; But ft excepted from this limitation important contracts with foreign purchasers now under consideration, x To the problem of the wheat surplus there is only one answer, and tb::t is avreige reduction, the board declares. Hope was seen for an improved export market in smaller productions In ether countries and in the prospect for better world conditions •that will be created by the President’s debt >lan.’’ Chairman Stone, before giving out the statement, conferred with President Ibmver. and lie said it was satisfactory to tiie Chief Executive. It certainly not wholly satisfactory to the grain growers, farm leaders anti grain the middle western states-. They continued to urge the to hold all sales of suqdtis wheat for a year. FOR the first time since the World w r the federal government beg !i -t:- d year on July 1 with an unbahineed budget. The deficit is" alm.>st sfM)3,oo).ot*t.

Senator Smoot

REED Smwt >f Utah, chairman of the senate finance committee, has Itetfn in conference withj the treasury authorities in Washington!; and , he now, says that under the provisions of the Hawley -Smoot tariff law with relation to the products of jeonvlct, forced or In-

Ventured labor, the Treasury Department will adopt a policy of a large share of the products of Russia. . While this exclusion will not apply to products of the soil, says Mr. Smoot, It njrill apply to Soviet produc:s whichiare manufactured, mined or produced by means of forced lalmr of any kind, and which are competitive with products here. He mentions lumber and pulpwood especially as products which will be shut out. The Utah senator' takes sharp issue with his Democratic colleague. Senator W. H, King, who has denounced the Idea of shutting out Russian products in blanket fashion and declared that congress did not have such a thing in mind and did not authorize it. Senator Smoot declares it was the purpose of congress to shut out the products of convict, forced or indentured labor, and that the Treasury Department will adhere to the law. TN A few days Secretary of War * Patrick J. Hurley will be on his way to our farthest possession. the Philippines, for an inspection tour of the islands. This Is because their administration falls under the Jurisdiction of the Wair department. While the official War department announcement ascribed the reason for the secretary’s trip to a desire “to acquaint himself more intimately with the details of Philippine problems,” it was understood that Mr. Hurley would study personally sentiment there for independence in preparation for a movement in the next session of congress to free the islands. President Hoover has been advised by members of both senate and bouse

of representatives t|iat it appeared probable sufficient strength would be mustered in the next session to pass a bill authorizing Philippine independence. MANY of America’s most eminent surgeons gathered in San Francisco for the annual convention of their association. Among the speakers were: Dr. Alexander Primrose, Toronto, president; Dr. Lincoln Davis, Boston; Dr. Eugene H. Pool, New York; Dr. Dallas B. Phemister, Chicago; Dr. Daniel F. Jones, Boston; Dr. Walter E. Lee, Philadelphia, and Dr. William J. Mayo of Rochester, Minn. Exchange of ideas and explanation of research work on cancer, plastic surgery, skin grafting and other phases of the profession featured the convention topics.

retary and Mrs. Wilbur through Mesa Verde National park V. M. Delerchman. president of a southwestern Colorado transportation concern, fell suddenly 111 and was taken to the park hospital. There Doctor Wilbur diagnosed his ailment as acute appendicitis and decided an immediate operation was necessary. So he gathered up the tools and, with the assistance of Dr. E. E. Johnson of Cortez, he performed the operation which almost certainly saved Delerchmau’s life. Next (lay the patient’s condition was so good that Secretary Wilbur resumed his trip, of inspection of the p:t¥k. SENOR DON SALVADOR DE MAdariaga, the new ambassador from Spain, presented his credentials to Presidept Hoover with due ceremony, and the customary polite phrases were exchanged. Then the two distinguished men enjoyed an informal chat, as both of them used to be mining engineers. Senor de Madariaga is a noted writer and in the past has criticised severely some of the policies of the United States in Latin-American affairs, SPAIN is to continue to be a republic, and Alfonso will remain an ex-king, according to the results of the national elections. AlaJandro Lerroux, old time Republican leader and at present foreign minister, is the man of the hour and It is accepted that he will be the first premier under the new constitution that is to be adopted by the national assembly that convenes on July 14. The Socialists and so-called radicals will control this assembly, which in fact will be rather moderate in policies. The communists are powerless. Catalonia, still Insists on being a separate state in a Spanish federa- i tion. but Senor Lerroux predicts that I the Catalan movement will soon col- j „ lapse, — \

SENATOR SIMEON D. Fess of Ohio, who is a leading member of the senate committee on interstate commerce, predicts that railroad and transportation legislation of a eompreheaslve i haracter' will be considered during the next session of congress. He has studied these

questions closely for years, and probably knows what-he Is talking about. In his opinion, consolidation legislaj tion will again be taken up, and laws for the regulation of the motor bus i and tiie motor truck will be proi»osed. Mr. Fess foresees much difficulty in getting legislation enacted to meet the various transportation problems. This difficulty Is much enhanced, as he views it, by. the competition between the railroads and other forms of transportation. On the one hand, he feels the ountry cannot -get along without the railroads, but on the other, he is convinced the public will not sanction any undue restriction of other forms of transportation. The Ohio senator is an advocate of legislation to liberalize existing law with reference to railroad consolidations. He sponsored. In the last congress, the Fess-Parker bill to provide, in effect, for voluntary combinations. It is Interesting to hear, from Senator Fess idmself, that he probably will remain chairman of the Republican national committee for another year, despite frequent rumors that be would retire or be displaced. He called on President Hoover' the other day and afterward said: "It appears now that I will serve until convention time next year." However, he Insisted he had not discussed the matter with the President. MARRIAGE of divorced persons in Episcopal -churches with use of the Book of Common Prayer is favored in a revised proposal by a commission of the general convention of the church. Last April the commission offered a plan to authorize Episcopal clergymen to remarry divorced persons. That plan barred the use of church and the regular prayer book. The revised proposal would give clergymen the right to officiate. A minority report suggests marriage by a clergyman at his discretion if there already has been a civil marriage. Under the majority plan, one year must elapse after divorce before permission to remarry may be filed. An ecclesiastical court, appointed by the bishop of the diocese, must then pass on the fitness of the persons to be married. The report will be submitted to the general convention of the church in Denver next September. (©. USL WMtacaXSWBMMT

DAIRY CALF STARTER IS MADE AT CORNELL Dry Mixture Gives a Good Growth and Is Cheap. Eliminating entirely the troublesome task of heating water to mix with calf feeds, the new “calf starter” devised at the New York State College of Agriculture has proved successful in tests at the college, according to Charles H. Crawford of the department of animiil husbandry. Calves have been grown to six months of age at a total cost of $36 by using the new dry mixture, and but 325 pounds of whole milk was fed during the first 17 weeks. The mixture contains 320 pounds of ground yellow corn, 320 pounds of rolled oats, 320 pounds of winter wheat bran, 160 pounds of linseed meal, and 880 pounds of dry skim milk. The calves were fed the calf starter for the first 16 weeks when they were changed to a cheaper concentrated mixture called the heifer I ration. The heifer ration has 300 pounds each of ground yellow corn, ground oats, and wheat bran, and 100 pounds of linseed oil meal. Both of these feeds gave good growth and are cheap, Mr. Crawford says. The calf starter was limited to five pounds and the heifer ration to four pounds daily. Hay was fed liberally. The new feed is not sold commercially. but a letter to the animal husbandry department of the New York State College of Agriculture a, Ithaca. N. Y’., will bring details of the plan and the feeding schedule. Chance for Quick Calf Profit Seen on Ranges Creep feeding is applied to calves the same as to pigs or lambs and is especially adapted to com belt farms. It also is being practiced successfully on the ranges and especially on the native pastures of Kansas, says R. jR. Thalman of the University of Nebraska i According to recent tests, an April ’ calf creep fed will consume an average of six bushels of grain. This will add approximately 60 pounds to his weight by market time. Should ■ the calf sell for 10 cents a pound, the extra weight would return SI a bushel for grain fed. In addition to increased weight, creep fed calves sell from $1 to $2 a hundred higher than similar calves not fed grain while receiving -'milk. Should more finish and weight I be desired before marketing, creep fed calves may be placed in dry lot after weaning for a short period, Usually 30 to 90 days will prove sufficient to put them In top finish for the fat cattle market. Such animals meet with a ready demand at any season and returns will more than meet the extra ; labor or cost involved. Well bred ' I calves of good quality should be the | alm for creep feeding. 1 Well Constructed Tank Efficient for Cooling According to tests at the state experiment station at Geneva, N. Y„ cooling In well-constructed farm tanks Is easier and equally as efficient from a sanitary point of. view as cooling over an aerator. The electric refrigerators now being offered for sale for use on dairy farms are practical and reliable. Whether the farmer uses a tank of the old style using ice or one of the new. Ice machines, the tank should be large enough so that when filled with cans of milk there will be twice as much ice and water as milk. A tank 35 inches wide, 60 inches long and 26 inches deep has a capacity of six cans. When the six cans are in. there are two gallons of water and ice for each gallon of milk. Dairy Facts Testing opens the way to sound business dairying. • • • Carelessness in feeding Increases milk production costs. • • • Recent experiments have Indicated that acids contained in silage are not harmful to cows. . • • • Prevent the gnfwth of horns In reives bjr using a caustic stick which you can buy from your druggist • • • The dairy cow herds will show their appreciation by increased cream thecks to owners who do a good job of putting up alfalfa bay for next winter’s feed. • • • The first rinse of milk utensils should be with cold or lukewarm water as hot water will cause the milk to “cook on." • • • Unless the customary feed, is given to dairy cows in mild weather as well as in severe weather, production will fall off sharply. • • • Raise calves from only the very best eowa. It Is better to veal all calves unless their blood inheritance makes it possible for them to develop into good cows. • • * Bad flavors can be eliminated from milk to some extent by removing the cows from infested pastures several hours before milking. • • • When cows eat bones, chew wood, or show other forms of a depraved , appetite they are probably not receiving enough mineral in their ration. • • • Weed flavors get into the milk mainly through the body of the cow. Flavors of wild onion, french weed and ragweed are particularly objec Hon a hl©

Cozy Little Cottage That Has an Appeal That Is Hard to Resist HSiiß SE u t • V-• • -uulu ; I ‘1 '-jtMji'A IrafrZ ; Ay S I ]

By W. A. RADFORD Mr. William A. Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to practical home building, for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as editor, author and manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the highest authority on all these suojects. Address all inquiries to William A. Radford. No. 407 South Dearborn street, Chicago, 111., and only inclose two-cent stamp for reply. Who could resist the appeal of such a cozy little cottage as this?

Woman Handy With Brush Can Touch Up the Home Tltere’s magic in the paint pot for any woman who wishes to beautify her home. We may once have been a little shy about bringing color into oiir rooms, but the modern woman welcomes gayety, whether it’s in drapery fabrics, bright floors and walls or in furniture. Painting furniture is one of the easiest ways of adding lively charm to some room at small cost, and it’s also a source of fun for the homemaker. Suppose; for Instance, that a bedroom has several unrelated pieces of rather shabby furniture. Painting them green or blue or putty color with deft little touches of a contrasting tone on drawer knobs and in occasional bands of trimming will simply transform the room. Quaint old chairs, either straight styles-or those suggesting the Ihsston rocker type, will respond marvelously to a new coat of i>aint. They may be painted black, brown or ivory and decorated in colors, or they may be reflnished any, gay shade which suits the room scheme. The flower, fruit and basket designs so often used on the old painted early American chairs may be applied by the amateur either with transfers, stenciling or by free hand. She might follow the plan used in many antique shops bf sketching the design in white chalk and then filling it in in gilt and colors. Whether the furniture is painted a plain color or decorated, it should be waxed after the paint is thoroughly dry so that the coloring will look soft and mellow and not too new. The new furniture made specially for painting, sold with a bare wood finish, may be cleverly decorated at home. Cupboards and bookcases are unusually charming if they are lined

Built-In Space for Auto Holds Popularity It Is becoming more and more the custom to conceive of the home a$ a correlated assemblage of all the different factors of house and grounds, rather than to plan individual features without reference to the others. During the last ten years the motor car has made it necessary to include the garage in the architectural scheme or plan, and the garage is being increasingly incorporated as an integral feature of the house. Considerations of heating and lighting, as well as economy in construction. tend to favor the in-built garage. Placing a garage in the basement greatly simplifies the installation of heating, water and electric lines, all of which are necessary to proper care of the car. Then, too, the in-built garage permits of putting the family car or cars away without leaving shelter to reach the house. It has been frequently found that hot water or steam heating pipes, even when heavily insulated, waste a great deal of heat when run to a de-

I Second Floor Plan. ney worked into the entrance detail gives that individuality which is the secret of charm of the place. It is, perhaps, this entrance detail and chimney that first catch the eyes. The chimney itself has a satisfying solidity without appearing in the least too heavy for so sipall a house. It suggests a broad fireplace where, in winter and on chilly autumn evenings, the family will gather about a cheery, crackling fire. Within, we find this fireplace‘as a feature of the big living room which extends across the entire front of the house. To the rear of the living room are the dining room and kitchen. The latter is provided with a rear entry and a commodious pantry. Basement stairs are placed in a passage between kitchen and dining room, while from the dining room itself, a stairway ascends to the floor above. On this upper floor we find two large sleeping rooms, each measuring I 14 by 11 feet and each provided with I a large closet, lighted, by an outside 1 window. On this floor, too, is a bath- ■ room of the most modern type, easily accessible from bedrooms.

in a contrasting color. A robin’s egg blue cupboard, for example, might be 1 lined ii»lacquer red; and the Interior ■ of a jade green bookcase could be painted silver. A band in a cqntrasti ing color may be suitably painted > around the edges of a drop-leaf table, i . Before painting sandpaper the furniture to make it perfectly smooth, i Several flat ipidercoats of paint are ; desirable before the final coat is applied. Colors may be easily mixed to i secure unusual shades. A final waxing is important, as it adds a soft glow to the finish and protects the paint surface from injury. Particular Heed Should Be Paid to Home Wiring Electrical wiring in a new home is ■ only a small item of the total cost, but it is one of the most important things a prospective home builder i should consider when planning his new residence. In the first place a better job of wiring can be done before the plaster is applied to the walls. Your architect will draw a wiring plan with the plans for your home. Take these plans and consult some good wiring contractor. Don’t leave these details to the man from whom you buy your fixtures. The .chances are he does not want the wiring job and only takes it because he wants to help .you after you have purchased the fixtures from him. He would much rather yon get an accredited electrician to do the wiring and thns take the work off his hands. Remember, many fires in small residences start from improper wiring. A well known electrical contractor might charge a little more than some amateur for his services, but when it is completed you may depend on it you have a job which will pass underwriters’ inspection.

tached garage from the main house system. A separate heating unit for the garage is usually made rather expensive by the necessity for protection from Inflammable fumes. The increasing tendency toward full utilization of basement space, which is known to cost as much a cubic foot as the rest of the house, recommends the installation of the modern twocar garage in the basement, heretofore usually devoted to the storage? of useless cast-offs which were a constant fire menace and breeding place for disease germs. Cover Rough Plaster Walls WithJJiquid Wax Glaze Because of their rough texture, plaster walls of this type are particularly apt to catch and hold dust, which soon ruins their attractive freshness. An easy way to protect such walls from soil is to cover them rapidly with liquid wax glaze, spread on with a large brush. This treatment imparts a pleqsant luster to the plaster as well as providing a transparent, protective surface.

POULTRY E&T5’ SANITARY RANGE NEEDED FOR EGGS Green Feed and Some Shelter Help Pullets. A sanitary ranging ground, with * plentiful supply of green feed and some kind of shelter Ik needed for pullets to grow into well ueveloped hen» that lay well in early fall. “After removing the cockerelc from the flock as soon as the sex can bedetermined, the pullets should oeplaced on a good range,” advises N. W. Williams, poultry,man at North Carolina State college. “Usually the growing birds should be placed o» this range when from ten to twelve weeks of age. Not over 300 birds should be placed on one acre of land. A good shelter is needed as birds suffer from heat more than most poultrymen realize. The most economical house >r shelter that can be built is a frame structure witl/an even span top. This provides good ventilation, furnishes a shade and protects the birds from heavy rains a v nd other unfavorable weather conditions.” Mr. Williams says the birds will not forage very far from shelter if conditions on the range are favorable. This means that the shelter should be built so that it might be moved from time to time onto fresh ground and pasture. If there is not some natural shade in the range, this might be provided by a ftame covered with tow bags to shield the birds from the midday sun. Do not feed the birds with a heavy protein ration so as to force them into lay before the body has been fully developed under range conditions, cautions Mr. Williams. Small, under-de-veloped pullets do not have the reserve body strength that the large, well grown mature pullets have, he says, and therefore are not as good breeders and layers. He also suggests keeping the mash before the birds at all times and a good grain feeding at night. Water is also important t> range stock. When the weather is warm the birds consume great quantities. Keeping Up Egg Quality in‘Late Summer Months There are two or three things that can be done during the summer that will vrf>ry materially aid in keeping iup the quality of eggs. The most important of these is eliminating • roosters. After the hatching season is over the rooster is of no benefit. His selling price generally decreases. Therefore, retaining the rooster merely increases the expense without any returns. Fertile eggs spoil much quicker than infertile ones. During hot weather fertile eggs often start Incubatiqg oefore they reach the market ■ so that they are a complete loss. Ini fertile eggs simply show an enlargei inent of the air cell if they are not ■ properly gathered and stored. i The second important step in keep- ■ ing up egg quality is to gather the I eggs at least twice daily during hot weather. When gathered they should be stored in a cool place where there are no odors. Proper .yare of nests and careful eradication of mites and I lice will help to keep hens from stealing their nests. Eggs found In stray bests should be thoroughly candled before being offered for sale, as many of them will be found unfit for food. The sale of inedible eggs is prohibited by law in most states. Eggs Need More Care < Extra care given to eggs during hot weather will produce quick, sure returns. since it will result in better quality and higher prices for the product. Miss Cora Cooke, extension specialist in poultry of Minnesota, suggests particularly keeping the eggs clean. This can best be done by keep-. Ing the henhouse clean, by supplying plenty of nests and gathering the eggs often. If eggs should get dirty, however, they should not be washed as this will remove the protective covering from the shell. Poultry Notes Turkeys should not be exposed to dampness. • • • Roughly figured eggs are grain concentrated from five pounds of feed to one pound of eggs. • • • To buy more than four chicks for every square foot of brooder house space is a risky investment. • • • If evidence is found of heavy worm Infestation among the young birds, give each a worm capsule before placing them in the laying house. • • • The that turkeys must have plenty of range is not false but more expensive than rearing them in confinement. • • • A dry mash feeder in the hepbouse and a regular feed of grain twice a day for hens kept in a yard is a far more profitable practice than letting the hens hunt, for their summer feed. • • • Pullets on range will be benflted if the brooder house is moved occasionally to a clean area- Placing the’ hoppers on a clean ground is another small chore which will help to prevent the spread of diseases nnd parasites. It is time to dip the old hens for lice. Pullets will soon be moved into the laying quarters with the old hens. Jbelousing the hens will prevent the pullets frqm becoming lonsy. Fill the washtub with lukewarm water and add one ounce of sodium fluoride for eack gallon of water.
