THE PROFITABLE CAPON.


The best capons are hatched In early
spring and operated upon during early
summer, before extremely hot weather
begins, says the Country Gentleman.
The birds are then ready for market
during and after the holiday season.
Cockerels OF any breed can be made
TO increase IN weight by being capon-
ized The larger breeds will permit OF
much greater gains ana are therefore
more desirable. For the production OF
capons on the farm the Plymouth
Rocks are among the best fowls 10
keep. since the females may be kept
for eggs and all surplus cockerels ca.
pOnized.
June and July are the best months
for the work. because spring hatched
chicks reach proper size then and also
because birds caponlzed al this time ar
rive at the proper age and weight for
at the season when there IL

CAN BIG BUSINESS DODGE The
FENDER ISSUE?
Big business was slapped hard two
years ago when the city council made
a law requiring tenders on auto
trucks after hundreds of people had
been killed by them.
Tenders cost money. The Associa-
ton of Commerce, according to the
admission of George Whittle of the
American Express Co., got busy and
the ordinance was never enforced.
June 26 of this year the city coun-
Gil unanimously passed a resolution
ordering the chief of police to en-
force the fender ordinance. Aid. Ker-
ner, who introduced the resolution,
lost his father when the aged man
was struck by an auto truck without
a fender.
Chief Healey at a hearing in the
council chambers Tuesday told $50
big business men who are fighting
tenders that the people would get
some protection.
Wednesday, a day late with the
story, but still true to their interests,
afternoon trust papers without eX-
ception came out strong against fen
ders. And the ordinance is not yet
enforced.
Today M. J. Roberts, an autOmo-
bile man appearing as citizen, will
demand that Chief Healey enforce
the fender law. If nothing is done
he threatens mandamaus action
against the police head to force him
to carry out the ordinance which the
council has twice passed on.
None of the trust papers had re-
porters at the hearing which Chief
Healey gave the corporation inter
ests. Yet, a day late, the-News ran
a long story under the caption, MO
tor Truck Fender Assailed by Own
ers' The American followed with
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-07-23

oording to Roberts, who viii demand
enforcement of the law
Tenders for the 10000 auto
trucks in Chicago will cost the big
corporations a large amount of
money. They claim 100000,
which is exaggerated, - declared Rob
eTts. But those fighting the fender
ordinance have a larger deal in view.
They are almost without exception
agents for auto concerns and big cor
porations which have plants all over
the country. Chicago is the first city
to test auto tenders and a hundred
others are waiting to see the results
obtained here before they pass laws.
Eighteen cities, including New
York, Boston, Philadelphia, Mime
apOlis and Milwaukee, wrote to Chief
of Police Gleason last year to find
out what we accomplished. If Chi
cago goes ahead with the fender law
it will spread over the country and
the large corporations like the
American Express Co., with 5000
trucks, must buy in every city.
Tenders have already been tested
and favorable reports returned to the
police department by the city en-
gineers, who spent seven months in
testing them. Tests show that SO
per cent of the fatalities of motor
trucks could be avoided by the use
of tenders.
But tenders cost money. So the
Association of Commerce and the
trust papers will fight. Safety first is
alright for them as long as safety
first does not cost a cent"
