CARING FOR LITTLE CHICKS
Cleanliness - Important to a Degree
OF Success or Failure-Furnish
Fresh, Clean Water.

In Matching chicks. either with hens
or the modern way, the incubator, first
of all observe cleanliness everywhere;
this is important to a degree of sue
cess or failue; filth means the latter
always.
Don't feed the chicks at all until
they have been Matched twenty-four to
thirty-six hours: they don't need it.
Don't feed them any musty, sour or
unWholesome feed Of any kind, grain
or otherwise, as it will cause bowel
trouble and death.
Don't lose sight of the drinking wa
ter, too; il Is just as important that
It be furnished fresh and clean and
the drinking vessels kept clean.
Don't, If You use a brooder, allow 1t
to get too hot or too cold; either is a
fatal mistake. See to it also that the
chicks do not oyercrowd and trample
each other to death; give them plenty
Of brooder room, they will be more
healthy.
Don't place your brood cops or chick
runs at or near a wood pile. brush
heap, old clubhouse, etc, as such places
make too good a harbor for rats, pole
cats and other varmints that will prey
on your chicks at the least opportu-
nifty
Don't forget to provide shelter that
the chicks can run under at any time,
either out Of the rain or sun. Many a
promising lot of chicks have gone TO
an early finish through the fact that
there was no shelter prepared for
them when a heavy shower came up.
The same is true of Young turkeys.

Although DIR. William Tindall, secretary

copy Of the new traffic regulations to
it was received by the judge this morn
ing. the regulations will not be enforced
in the Police Court under present condi-
tiOns. The copy Judge Pugh received to-
day was merely clipped from a local
newspaper and pasted on sheets of paper,
each sheet stamped with the seal Of the
District of Columbia. and the last one
signed by DR.. Tindal.
Judge Push said today that he did not
intend to alter the position he took yes
terday in respect to the regulations until
he was officially made aware Of the valid
ity of the copy lie received today by the
prosecuting officer of the District branch
of the Police Court Robert l.. Williams
assistant corporation counsel. Mr.. Will
liamS said th3t he had not decided what
course of action he would take.
Corporation Counsel Thomas told a
representative Of The Star today that he
would probably instruct Mr.. Williams to
notify the judge of the correctness and
validity of the regulations mailed to
him. E: =
Owing to the difficulty. met in finding
any particular section of the. new traffic
regulations. because Of their vcrbosity,
lack OF index or ella assification. and the
fine type used in printing them, it is
almost certain that no prosecutions under
the provisions Of the new regulations will
be conducted until the copies now being
been distributed to officials Of the Police

IS NAMED
TO DIRECT LEGISLATION
Republican Senators Also De-
eide to Continue Fight
for Combinations.

A party committee for the. direction of
lesisla ton during the remainder Of the
present session of Congress- was decided
upon at the caucus of republican. sena-
tors today
The motion for such appointment was
made. by Senator Oliver of Pennsylvania
who said that with the; session drawing
SO near a close many desirable measures
would be lost in the confusion unless
there should be provision for intelligent
direction.
He did not specify the measures he had
in mind, but other senator's, agreeing with
him as to the desirabiity of a legislative
committee. spoke especially of the res
toration of the tariff board as being in
accord with the demands of the present
situation. Senator La Toilette was among
those who urged the revival of the tariff
board or the creation Of q tariff commits
sion.
Senator Gallinger. as chairman of the
republican caucus. was authorized to ap-
point the members Of the committee.
To Fight for Combinations.
\ continuation of the fight for the con-
firmation OF President Taft's nominations
Without discrimination was decided upon
The motion to take up the fight in eX-
'eclltive session was made by Senator
Lodge soon after the Senate convened
and the republicans succeeded by q vote
Of 36 to - in forcing the Senate to close
its doors and consider appointments.
SENATORS Bristow and POinde2ter voted
with the democrats against the eN
ecutive session. Senator La Toilette.
who has voted with the democrats
throughout the appointment fight. was
present at the republican caucus. but
he was not in the Senate when the
vote came on the republican motion.
Fight Not to Be Abandoned.
While some of the senators present at
the caucus expressed the opinion that
continuation of the fight would be USE
less because OF the determined oppOSi-
ton of the democrats they were led to
abandon their position by the argument
that republican senator could not JUS
tfy his abandonment of his party friends
who had beer appointed to Office.
The republicans will continue to move
for consideration Of nominations when
ever such sessions will not interfere with
tile consideration Of appropriation bills or
other executive business. While the re-
publicans do not hope for the success OF
many of the Taft appoint ntmentS, they de-
sire to still further place the blame for
failure on the democratic senators.
When the doors We're closed on the eX-
ecutive session the republican senators
sought to have the regular order taken
up, The democrats did not resist the ref
erence Of fresh nominations to the ap-
propriate committees. but when an effort
was made to have other names reported
from committee they raised the point of
no quorum. When a quorum was es-
tablished they moved a recess. In this
they failed. but they succeeded by this
and other similar tactics in demonstrat-
ing that they could prevent any confr-
nations. and they made no pretense of
having any other purpose in view.
