MEET, DO NOT RE0RGANIZE
Presidents Interference Prevents Car ry:n5 Out of conSressions,
 Committee Program.

Washington, May 12.-.The Demo cratic congressional committee met, despite the request of President Will son to postpone the meeting. The gathering was called by Chairman Lloyd of Missouri, in response to a petition signed by majority of the membership of the committee.
 The rumor during the day was that the committee would proceed to carry o0t the program originally planned be- fore the president interfered, and the signers of the petition expect this to be done, apparently. The slate of of. flcers had been arranged. Ben John son of Kentucky was named to suc- ceed Lloyd as chairman, and Repre- sentative Pepper of Iowa was to be made secretary, to succeed Page of North Carolina. After the committee assembled discretion seemed to take the place of valor, and the patriots marched down the hill, announcing that for the present the old organiza- tioR would stand.
 The keynote of the meeting was sounded in statement read by Lloyd, explaining President Wilson's position regarding the work of the committee. This statement of administration views, to which President Wilson gave his approval. made it clear that the president had no preference of candi- dates for chairmanship of the commit. tee. and set forth that the main idea was to accomplish effective work by united action in the coming campaign important to the party, and that sen ators should be among the members of the congressional committee, inas- much as various states have provided for popular vote for United States sen ators.

artificial, and surely it is better to
have a good figure by means OF a good

Just the same. a good many women

What Is the best breed Of chickens2
Easiest question ia the world. Ask
your friends and every n OF them
can answer right on hand, but each
a win name q different breed or va
riety and when you ask their reasons
for their choice, mighty few Of said
reasons would hold IN court.
The fact o. the matter IS that there is
no a best breed" OF chickens. There
are four OK Eve best breeds" with
from two to seven best ~varieties1 I'M
each breed. II you don't believe Il,
glance through the files OF any poultry
Journal and see the number Of ebest
breeds" mentioned 10 their free read
ing notices.
One man proves that the White Or
pingtons are the best breed, because
he got Nine. Paderewsh to admit she
paid $4,000 for Eve OF his chickens.
Another man clinches the pennant for
the White Plymouth Rocks by saying
that a pen Of 30 hens earned $500
for him last year, their eggs selling
for $50 a setting. And 30 It goes. Ask
ipg q poultry man to name the best
kind Of chickens is like asking an au-
tomobile man to name the best auto
mobile.
As far as the city r suburban poul
try keeper Is concerned, ne can make
his choice Of chickens entirely upon
sentimental grounds.
Remember that the breed deter.
mines the size and shape OF the fowl,
and the variety determines the color
choose the shape and color that you
think Ia prettiest and you will have
the best breed for you,
Now. however, comes the really i'm
p0rtant problem OF the individual
strain Of blood within the variety. The
difference between profit and loss,
eggs and no eggs lies In the individual
and not IN the breed or variety. There
10 no marked difference in the produc-
ton, growth and hardness Of Eve or
six Of the principal breeds. and there
Is the same similarity between their
established varieties, but there Is q
tremendous difference between differ
ent nocks Of individuals Of the same
variety. A poultry man who under
stands his business can take an or
binary flock Of any standard variety
and he a beat any similar flock OF
the same or any other variety, which
is handled by an inexperienced or
careless person.
Inheritance Of profitable qualities Is
Of the greatest importance. For this
reason scrub or cross-bred fowls are
worthless for breeding. because their
offspring cannot possibly improve In
size or productivity for any length Of
time and practically never hold their
own. Never use anything but pure
bred chickens. Get a setting Of eggs
oF p pair Of young birds from the
heaviest laying hen you can ind IN
the variety you elect to keep. and
build up your flock from the start We
have known two pullets Of the White
WYRpdottes. one Of which laid II
eggs IN a year and the other laid a48.
You could not tell them apart by
looks. either. Three Of the good hens
daughters laid over 300 eggs each In
q year. That's why strain counts
more than breed.

and has helped support his family for the past two years; in fact, Pal has been the main spring to the Brown family.
 Pal started fighting in 1909, when only 16 years of age, and during his short career has had over 75 battles, many of them over the 15-round route. He has not picked easy marks as his record will show, having met such boys as Billy Allen, Maurice Savers, Sammy Trott, Joe Thomas, Ray Temple Frankie White, Tommy Garry, Dick Hyland, Young SaylOr, Danny Goodman, Steve Ketchel and Jack Redmond. His defeat of Jack Redmond and Steve Ketchel brought him to the attention of the promoters as they have all recognized that both boys were good, and for Brown to beat them meant that he must be bet ter. Pal realized some time ago that he needed more boxing experience and he engaged Jack Dougherty to train and box with him, which has helped him considerably.
 Recently Tommy Burns tried to get the management of Pal, as he realized after watching him defeat Dick HyIand, that he must have the goods, but Pal declined to take on a new manager just now, being con tent with MT. Munroe, his old friend and adviser at home. Pal says he has one ambition now-that is to win the light weight championship-an Willie Ritchie has been kind enough to say that if he ever does lose the title he hopes it will be to a boy like Pal
