TO the District Building in Washington
in the hope Of persuading the authorities
to amend the regulations so as to re-
quire that all chickens brought into the
city for sale should be equipped with
their headgear and feet
The judge explained that this would en-
able the owners TO mark the feet OF
combs of their birds so that they could
be identified when presented for sale in
the Washington markets.
II is stated that the health department
authorities do not approve the sugges-
ton. it being feared that chickens
adorned with head and feet would be
apt to create an insanitary condition,
although it was admitted that Judge
Bailey's scheme might result IN the cap

flight of fifteen minutes duration, the
motor Of his machine suddenly stopped
working and his aeroplane dashed TO the

mental fight on June /, 1908, and the sec
ond ten days later, while giving an ex-
hibition at Rome before Dowager Queen
