Thought Woman Had Bon,h.

Some excitement was caused ~ Aber
deem, Scotland, yesterday evening
when what at first was believed to be
an Internal machine intended FOL
David Lloyd George, Chancellor of the
Exchequer, was found in the hands
of a suffragctte who was discovered
hiding in the hall where Mr.. Lloyd
George was TO deliver an address. 1t
turned out, however, to be a box coz,
tanning firecrackers.
The woman who had it and two OF
her suffragette companions were ar
rested.
They were hiding behind the organ
in the music hall and were discovered
before the doors were opened.
After the meeting another militant
suFragette hurled stone at one Of
the automobiles occupied by Lloyt
Georges party, with the intention, i
is believed, OF injuring the Chancellor
She picked out the wrong car, how
ever, and the missile went through III
windows of one which was not occu
pied by Lloyd George. This woman
also was arrested.

Georges Land Tax Policy.

London, Nov. 29.-ChanceHori of
The Exchequer David Lloyd George Is
:aid to make his long delayed an
nouncement of his land tax policy in
the course of speech he is cheduled
20 deliver at aberdeen tonight.
The chancellor has long been known
as an enemy Of the system by which
the great English land owners for
centuries escaped the burden of tax
alton on their holdings. But how far
he was prepared to go in breaking
it ND has been mater Of consld :
cradle uncertainty. Some believed
that, though a land taxer, he was
against going to the extremity of
breaking up the great estates. Others
were sure he was genuine disciple Of
Henry George.
There was consequently the greatest
interest and curiosity, and on the land
owners part, the deepest anxiety con-
corning tonight's expected anounc-
ement.

CONGRESS OPENS
NEXT MONDAY.

On Monday at noon gavels will fall
in the Senate and House calling to
order the last session Of the Sixty
second Congress. By constitutional
limitations the session ends March
4, and an immense amount of work
must be done by the two houses during
the next three months.
At the outset the Senate will face
the election Of a presiding officer.
made necessary by the death of Vice
President Sherman. For months be-
fore Mr.. Sherman's death the upper
chamber was unable to elect presi
dent Pro Tempore and coalitions arc
but little changed today.
The Senate roll call will show the
absence of two other members who
have been called by death during
the recess. They are Senator'S Hey
burn of Idaho, and Senator Rsyner
of Maryland. The latter Tuesday.
Out of respect to the memory Of
the dead, the Senate probably viii
adjourn upon three different days
without transacting business. This
will make the crush of legislation in
the upper body all the more notice
able in the closing Gays of the ses-
sion.
The Senate, under an order prcvi-
ously passed, must constitute itself
a court and proceed with the trial o.:
Judge Robert w. Archibald, of the
Commerce Court on December 3. The
seven members of the House Judi
ciary Committee, who are to act as
managers on the part Of the House,
will meet Wednesday to arrange the
details of the trial. Because Of the
complications of the Archboid trial,
the necessity for the election of a
presiding officer, and general rush Of
legislative business, the Senate prob
ably will hold numerous night ses-
sions before March 4.
The House will have its hands full;
with appropriation bills, which must
originate in the so-called popular
body of Congress. The Appropria-
tions Committee is now speeding
up" on the legislative, executive ano
judicial budget and this will be ready
for report next week. 1t is also hoped
to get the District of Columbia ap-
preparation bill ready for presenta-
ton to the House before the end OF
next week.
In view Of the approaching extra
session, it is not anticipated that thu
House will attempt tariff Legislation
so long as a Republican Presieen
remains in the White House. There
will be nothing to prevent the Way!
and Means Committee from BEGIN
ming hearings on the tariff schedules
however, and it is unofficially an
nounced that these hearings will be
gin the, first week in January. Il
this. event, one or more schedules
may be ready for report to the hous
when the extra session convenes II
April.

POULTRY SHOW
 RULES CHANGED
Chickens Will Be Scored by Points Instead of Com parison an Added h. ducement to Poultry Fan cierS

As a special inducement to poultry try at the show t. be given by the AriZNna Poultry association January l., tc 19 in Phoenix. the chickens niE |" indged by sco'e card ane premiums awarded according to points insteai or hN COmparisI l. To obtain 1st priL" the hnd must score at least 90 poil..'. 39 IS necessary for 2nd; S8 for 3rd and g for 4th The pens must score 4f .eaAt 180 points for 1st. This SC p"e being obtained by adding the average score of the females to the score of the male.
 Having the birds scored by judge is an added expense to the association but will be of great benefit, especially at this time, to poultrymen. as the score cards will be delivered to the owners; the faults being stated and number of points deducted for each fault, and if disqualified. the cause will be stated.
 This is the first opportunity for poultrymen of Arizona to learn just what the standard of perfection as issued by the American Poultry asso- citation and by which all poultry is judged expects of their breed. Many poultry men have birds that look good to them, but of their real value and excellence he cannot be certain. The opportunity is now given to learn what he is worth to you. He may be worth many times what you can realize for him in market and a bird judged as excellent by a competent. recognized judge as MT. Whitley of California, who has been employed at this show will bring to you what it is worth for breeding or if you are in doubt which to keen to breed from to build up your stock this is your time to learn.
 The value in building up the flocks of Arizona by enabling them to elimin- ate the poorer birds and select the bet ter will only depend on the number or chickens entered. Enter your chickens this year, have them judged and their good points and defective points shown to YOU. and you will be enabled to 1 hereafter select the best from your 1 stock to form a breeding pen to bulld up your flock not only for fancy breed = | ing but for utility, for standard chickens are as much greater utIlity value over mongrels IS thoroughbred cattle is over mixed stock that mas
 been allowed to run down.
 Many premiums have been offered oy i merchants of Arizona, but none or these can equal the value to the poui- trymen of this one premium or the Poultry association by getting your birds scored for you by Mir. Whitley. Entries have begun to come in and | if won are interested, address Marshal
 Humphreys of Phoenix Show secre-
 tary.

Earlier in the season, the tenden-
cy seemed to be for fine laces but
now the heavier ones seem rather in
the lead, though anything in lace
form, of many different texture,
seems to be used. The Ratine laces
are much used for the Princess Pat,
so much now over waists. These
can be made from embroidery also.
One very pretty one was made from
the left over of a piece of all over
embroidery and edged with some
val lace, put on without fulling. A
scrap of Swiss insertion made the
belt strap. One mother is using this
idea of an extra piece in similar
shape to the Princess Pat for her
little girls vacation dresses. She
can take with her but small
amount of baggage and by having
several of these little slipons, made
to come few inches below the
waist, she thinks the partly soiled
dresses can be freshened up and the
child made presentable for meal
times.
