Capons Paw Best.

A few years ago capons were sell
dom found on sale except in some
OF the more exclusive markets. In
the largest cities. This was largely
because poultry raisers have only in
recent years learned that caponizing
insures not only a higher price per
pound for their fowls. but an increase
in weight for each bird. A capon not
infrequently attains weight OF from
fourteen 10 sixteen pounds. or prac-
tically twice that of the ordinary
rooster of the same breed. And with
other conditions similar the meat Is
always sweeter. always tender and
usually Just fat enough to make a
good appearance and readily salable
at from four to six cents a pound
above that Of ordinary poultry.

HIGH QUALITY FLAX
1t Is One Of Most Promising
Crops for Dry Land.
Grows Better on Loan and Clay Soil
Than on Sandy and Makes Good
Sod Crop Under Proper
Conditions.

CBy ALVIN KEYsER. Colorado Asri-

The high prices which have pre-
the extreme shortage Of the crop in
1910.
Flax may be grown under irrigation
or on the dry land in proper condi-
tions. 1t is one Of the promising
cash crops for dry land In normal
seasons. on properly prepared soils.
1t will probably average from IL to
is bushels to the acre.
Flax grows best upon a moist, well
compacted seed bed. 1t grows better
on loan and clay soil than on sandy
soil. but will produce good crops on
fertile. sandy lands. Flax makes a
good sod crop under proper conditions.
When grown upon sod. the breaking
should be done when the sod is moist
to depth of two and a half 10 three
inches. The breaking should be
rolled down perfectly fat. so as to
make good contact with the subsoil,
the rolling being done Immediately
after the breaking. After rolling. the
breaking should be narrowed length
wise once or twice to produce a mulch
at the surface.
Flax may then be planted upon
this prepared sod land. using twenty
pounds OF good. plump seed 10 the
acre. The plsnting may preferably
be done with a disk press driii. plant
ing from one to two inches in depth.

Whether planted upon new land or

II planted upon old lands. II should
only be planted upon lands which are
clean and free from weeds II the

planted upon corn stubble by simply

Only the brightest. plumpest and
cleanest seeds should be planted. as
nax diseases may be carried by
shrunken fax seed. To prevent
bringing in fax diseases. seed should
be treated with formaldehyde. The
treating solution Is made by adding
one ounce of - per cent formaldehyde
TO two and half gallons of water and
stirring thoroughly to mix This
amount of solution is sufficient to
treat Eve bushels OF seed. 4. e. one-half
gallon will treat one bushel of seed.
The seed should be placed on the
floor in a pile. or upon canvas. and

similar material. and left for two
hours. after which It may be planted

once. II should be spread out and
thoroughly dried
Seeding should be done as early in
the spring as possible and escape hard
frosts. The time win vary from the
LIST to the 10th OF May In most parts
of the state. The seeding should BE
done by a press drill. using about

WORK UNDER WAY
ON PANAMA FORTS
All Sites Recommended by
Board Approved.

Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, Chief Of
Staff Of the arnny, told President Taft
yesterday that work was commenced this
week upon the fortifications at the Pa
cific terminal of the Panama Canal
Gen. Wood has just returned from a
months inspection trip to the Canal
Zone to consider the sites selected for
the fortifications by the board on the
fortifcatiCn of the canal. He approved
all of them, making only few minor
changes in their plans.
Work will shortly commence for the
preparation of the ground for the big
coast-defense guns. Orders have been
placed for the guns, and 1t is expected
that they will be ready for mounting
by the time that the fortifications are
sufficiently advanced to receive them.
Troops will be sent to the canal before
the fortifcations are completed. 1t will
not be necessary at the outset to build
barracks for the troops, as there are
some buildings along the canal in good
condition which would. Gen. Wood be-
lieves, make satisfactory temporary bar
racks for the soldiers.

THREE IN BIG AUTO
JUMP FOR LIVES
Washington Men Escape
Being Killed by Train.

While crossing the tracks Of the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad at Relay, Md,
in a large touring car Wednesday night
William W. Wood, George b. Lynch, and
Z. L. Thompson, all of this city, mar
rowly escaped death when a fast express
train struck the machine and reduced il
to a pile of wreckage.
The three men, who were on their
way to this city from Baltimore, only
jumped in the nick of time and escaped
without injury. Leaving the $1,000 ma
chine a total wreck, Wood. the owner.
arrived in Washington with his two COM
panions yesterday morning.
The three men declare that the gate
keeper at the crossing where the acci-
dent occurred told them the road was
clear and allowed them to pass. They
were caught in the middle of the track
when they realized the express train
was bearing down upon them.
Mr.. Wood said last night that he would
attempt to recover damages from the
railroad company.

Outside District.

Still pursued by armed posses. the al
legged kidnapper. Edward Hays" or
Hartley as he IS called by his Wash
ington friends. has successfully evaded
all attempts to capture him, and, It Is
thought. is still at large IN the vicinity
of Seneca, Md.
Since Wednesday afternoon, no trace
OF the fugitive has been found. 1t is
thought that he may be in hiding in the
outskirts Of Washington, but attempts to
find traces Of him in the city failed last
night.
Owing to the heavy showers yesterday.
the man hunt was checked TO a large
extent. but unless the fugitive has Sc
cured shelter from the weather the
posses think that he will be forced to
show himself before long, especially If
il should rain again to-day.
Up to a late hour last night, as far
as could be learned. men were searching
the woods about Seneca and Gathers
burg, out the weather hindered their
work. The man hunt will be resumed
early this morning. and every attempt
will be made to bring the fugitive TO

ROBBER In ROOM
Woman TerrOr-stricken by

Awakened by noise in her room,
Mrs. Josephine Janney, of 1923 F street
northwest, on arising to investigate early
yesterday morning. was terrorized to find
herself face to face with a masked bur-
glar. Stupefled by the sight of the in
truder. Mrs. Janney could give no outcry
until the man had made his escape.
Investigation disclosed that the man had
robbed the apartment OF a pocketbook
containing s3S and some trinkets. AL
though a diligent search was instituted
throughout yesterday for a. clew as to
the identity of the man, the police up
to an early hour this morning were as
much at sea regarding the case as when
they first began working on it.
'Umph," grunted the man as he found
himself confronted by the terrorized
woman. Then, apparently conscious that
she was stupefied by fear, the man turn
ed and made for a rear window. He was
last seen making his way down the fire

Recovering shortly after the burglar
made his exit, Mrs. Janney turned on
the light in the apartment and began to
investigate as to how much the intruder
had taken with him. Everything had
been turned topsy-turvy by the man.

his search when detected by Mrs. jan
ney.
Miss Alice Kirker a clerk in the Gen.

night that her apartment in the Cairo

GAY PARTY BY OFFICERS.
Stir Created by Investigation of
Event on the Ozark.

The reports of gay parties given aboard
the training ship Ozark, as printed yes
terday in The Washington Herald, has
created a stir in District Militia naval
circles and among a certain social set
in this city.
Members Of the naval militia recall a
little affair given July II by an officer
in honor of his birthday. After several
hours aboard the vessel, the members Of
the party, including two women, left in
an automobile of one of the officers and
went to theswomen's apartment. On the
way they stopped at a lunchroom and
took with them a box of eatables.
Thinking themselves safe in their own
homes, the men and women raised their
voices in loud song and laughter, dis
turbing the other occupants of the build
ing, who next day promptly lodged their
complaints with the landlord.
The condition of the nine men of the
Ozark who were taken sick last Mon
day with ptomaine poisoning as a re-
suit of eating deviled crabs was report
ed improved last night. They are at
the Naval hospital, where their condi-
ton was at first regarded as serious.

Emmett Mccarthy, the former Techni-
cal High School football star, who put
up a great game for Wesleyan College
last fall. will be a candidate for the
Georgetown varsity football team this

one close to the former scholastic star.
Not only in football does Emmett put
up a good game, but in basketball and
baseball he made his college letter.
The Hilltoppers are fortunate in OBJ
taining this gridiron star. Although
freshman at the Northern college last
fall, he made the varsity eleven, play
ing tackle and end. 1t was rumored
that Mccarthy would enter Yale, but as
Washington is his home he has decided
TO go to Georgetown.

This is the season Of the year when II
is no uncommon sight to see cars stand

steam Issuing either from the radiator

engine may be caused by many things,
as, for instance, insufficient lift to the
exhaust valves. Either too weak or too
rich a mixture burns slowly and gives up
a larger proportion of heat to the CYL

a poor spray overheats, as does poor oil
and likewise the too constant use of low
