The 1918 session Of the legislature

passed 75. Any one who cares to
figure on the proposition may dis
cover that it would take q session of
some hing over a year to pass the

weeks basis. But the taxpayers
should not be perturbed at the pros
pect. The LIS bills will not be pass

Doing Away With Smoke.

Public opinion is setting strongly
against the contamination of the air
we breathe with coal smoke. A gen.
eral use of low-temperature coke would
render the atmosphere of our cities as
free from pollution as that of New
York, where it is obligatory upon all
inhabitants to burn anthracite or some
other form of smokeless fuel. Through
wantonly wasting the valuable con-
stituents Of coal by burning it raw in
the domestic fireplace we suffer dou-
BILE penalty. Not only do we pay di-
rectly for the fuel that is discharged
unconsumed up the chimney, but we
Fay indirectly a second time in the la
Dor spent in removing it when it comes
back to us through the windows in the
form Of smuts and dust. We pay, too,
in deterioriated health and obscured
sunshine.
The whole subject affords an inter-
esting illustration of the solidarity Of
scientific progress, and demonstrates
forcibly the fact that one advance in
evitably brings another in its train.
The, growth Of twentieth century en-
cheering science, which demands oil
in ever-growing volumes, is thus tend
ing to promote sanitary reform which
Is long overdue.

GIVING CHICKENS SKIM MILK
More Eggs Produced Than From
Fowls Given Grain Ration Supple
mented With Meat Scraps.

According to a general opinion Of
many who have given the matter
much attention, the value Of skim
milk to laying hens is from 70 cents
to S2.15 per hundred pounds. The latter
figure is evidently little optimistic.
According to experiments conducted
by the Indiana experiment station,
$1.73 was returned per hundred
pounds of skim milk purchased at 30
cents. These experiments covered
period Of two years; one pen of laying
hens received corn, wheat, oats, bran
and shorts in the same proportion, in
addition to all the skim milk the fowls
would drink, and another pen received
only the grain portion of the ration
that the former received. In averaging
the results obtained from feeding
these rations through two years Of ex-
periments it has been shown that the
average number of eggs laid per hen
receiving grain and skim milk was
1885 eggs, whereas the hens that did
not receive skim milk with the grain
ration produced an average Of only Sc
eggs per hen. 1t was also shown that
during the winter months, December,
January and February, when eggs are
the highest in price, that the pen re-
ceiving skim milk produced seven per
cent more eggs even than the pen re-
ceiving a grain ration supplemented
with meat scraps, feed generally
recognized as great egg producer.

VIEW OF COMMUNITY
Plan of Chicago City Club Is to De-
veloI, the Neiehborhood
Cr;n

In the small city or village nothing
in particular is done ordinarily to
stimulate the neighborhood spirit.
That force grows and develops natur-
ally in small community. People
come to know one another without ef-
fort and easily retain their friendships
and acquaintanceships. Thus is pro-
vided substantial foundation for
community interest, which is another
name for neighborhood spirit.
In city Of large proportions the
community interest, the neighborhood
spirit, is less apparent and less CO.
hesive. There is such an excess OF
humanity all about that unnatural
barriers are anxiously thrown up
against the making of friends too
readily. Even neighbors living in the
same apartment building remain
strangers Tor months on end.
Yet city like Chicago, If it is to es-
tablish the cohesive interest that I'm
ally produces community interest,
must develop somewhat in terms OF
the neighborhood spirit. Out Of this
comes the broader interest that en-
braces the affairs Of the whole city.
This situation gives special value to
the neighoorhood center competition
that is about to be featured at the
Chicago City club. The purpose, as
announced, is Ito bring before the
public, in graphic form, the practical
possibilities of enhancing neighbor-
hood life in our cities by better, and
especially better grouped, buildings
and grounds for neighborhood activi-
ties"
This object is particularly worthy
one. It fits in we'll with the public
properties exhibition at the City club.
By this means an opportunity is given
Chicago citizens to obtain clear idea
of what they own as community
theiH schools, libraries, museums,
streets, bridges, parks, Fairgrounds,
baths, police and fire stations, and so on.
The well-informed citizen should
have definite knowledge of this great
community estate" in which he Is a
stockholder. The exhibition and the
competition, with their Incidental
meetings and discussions, should do
much to establish a broader concept
of these essential matters.-Chicago.

RHODE ISLAND RED. FAVORED

The Rhode Island Red breed consti-
tutes the latest addition to the list of
popular American breeds of chickens.
This variety differs from the majority
of breeds in claiming for themselves
an origin based solely on practical
considerations
They are partly of Asiatic blood,
but in their selection, which extends
over a period of fifty years, attention
has been paid to rapid growth and egg
production, so that the breed today
more nearly resembles the Leghorns

than does either the Plymouth Rock
or Wyandotte. One fundamental diff
ference still exists that shows the
Asiatic origin of the red chicken:
They are persistent sitters.
The Rhode Island Reds do not re-
produce themselves with certainty as
to shade of color or style of comb, but
In practical points they may be con-
s.dered distinct and well-established

West Virginia Must Pay.

The fifty-year-Old State debt controversy
between Virginia and West Virginia was
finally adjudicated Monday when the Su-
preme Court of the United States held that
West Virginia shall pay $l2.393. 929.50
as her share of principal and interest Of
Virginia's ante-bellum Indebtedness. OF
this amount 81. 2l5. 622. 28 represents West
Virginia s share of the principal as Of Janu-
airy 1. 1881. and $8,178.30722 is interest
on this sum for 81 years and months.
II West Virginia does not pay over the
amount by July next, the State must pay
per cent. interest on the total of $l2.-
1893. 929.50 until it is paid.
All of this money will be paid to the
holders of the old Virginia debt certif-
Gates. One million dollars worth Of these
certificates are held by Baltimore bankers
and individuals. and about $3,000,000
are held in New York. Many of them are
in the possession Of West Virginians.
By the decision West Virginia is saddled
with debt of S13.O00.000. The State
has no outstanding bond issue. being pro-
hibited from issuing bonds by the consti
tuition except to pay her share of the Viz
ginia debt. The Commonwealth is now in
a bad way financially on account Of the
loss Of revenue from the saloons. which
were put out Of business by the adoption
Of prohibition amendment.

either Of American shipmasters or Of
American passengers.
The government Of the United States is
contendine for something much greater
than mere rights Of property or privileges
of commerce. 1t is contending for nothing
less high and sacred than the rights Of
humanity.
the United States, therefore. deems it
reasonable to expect that Germany will
adopt the measures necessary to put these
principles into practice in respect Of the
safeguarding Of American lives and Ameri-
can ships, and asks for assurances that
this will be done.
This government views these conten-
tons as irrelevant to the question Of the
legality Of the methods used by the Ger
man naval authorities in sinking the vessel.
The principal fact is that a great steamer.
primarily and chiefly a conveyance for
passengers. and carrying more than thou
sand souls who had no part or lot in the
conduct Of the war. was torpedoed and
sunk without so much as challenge or a
warning. and that men. women and chill
dren were sent to their death in circum
stances unparalleled in modern warfare.
Only her actual resistance to capture or
refusal to stop when ordered to do so for
the purpose of visit could have afforded
the commander Of the submarine any
justification for so much as putting the
lives Of those on board the ship in jeopardy

The Press And Mr.. Bryan.
From the Baltimore News.

From the Baltimore News.
The course of Mr.. Bryan grows more
amazing. Never modest man. his colos-
sal egotism is now making an astonished
nation doubt the evidence of its ears. A
private citizen, he asks the people Of this
country to turn from the man they have
put in command Of the ship Of state and
take the cue of how they shall act and
what they shall do from him. But if Mr..
Bryan fondly images he is going to use the
press Of the United States to hamstring
the Administration while passing through
crisis such as this. he is in for an unpleas-
ant awakening. Already objection to his
program is being heard. The Atlanta Con-
stitution. one Of the leading papers Of the
South. has this to say on Mr.. Bryan's an
ticipated outpourines:
Mr. Bryan's continued statements, at
this particular juncture, make of him moth
ing less than a public nuisance. Deter
mined. therefore. not to be party to this
unwarranted embarrassment of the Ad-
ministration. which is ably dealing with
our present crisis. the Constitution will not
at this time publish any more of Mr.. Bry-
ans statements: nor will it deal with
them beyond such brief news references
as may be warranted by the discussions
Of any private citizens"
II there were reason to fear serious re-
suits from Mr.. Bryan's attacks on the
Presidents policy. he would likely find a
great many newspapers unwilling to give
him aid and comfort. Thus far his course
has had directly the opposite effect. He has
not solicited the country behind Mr.. Wilson.
because it was already back Of him. He
has simply furnished the occasion of a
demonstration of how firmly the nation is
set. 1t is better by far to have let him
have his say. But no one who reads the
signs Of the times can have much doubt
about what is going to happen in the near
future to Mr.. Bryan's announcements.
They will find an easy way to an inside
page and a small head.
An this is not because of a conspiracy
on the part Of the press to squelch the
former Secretary Of State but for the very
excellent reason that what Mr.. Bryan has
to say is largely robbed Of interest. The
public is not going to care to read his
utterances.

On Broad Ground OF Humanity.

The United States, in its latest note to
Germany. made public last Friday. formally
asks the imperial government for assur-
ances that measures hereafter will be
adopted TO safeguard american lives and
American ships" on the high seas. The
alternative in case of refusal is not stated.
II was this note to which William Jen-
nings Bryan refused TO attach his sigma
ture, resigning instead. his portfolio Of Sec
rotary Of State and thereby precipitatine
dramatic Cabinet crisis Robert Lansing,
Secretary of State ad interim. signed the
communication which went forth with the
approval of President Wilson and his en-
tire Cabinet.
Friendly terms characterize the docu-
ment. which renews representations made
in the American note that reached Ger
many on May IS. after the Lusitania was
torpedoed and sunk. with loss Of more
than 100 American lives. The German
government. il is declared, must have
been misinformed" when it assumed that
the Lusitania carried guns, as official in
formation is at hand to corroborate the
original contention Of the Washington gov
eminent that the Lusitania was an I'M
armed passenger ship which. since it did
not resist capture. could not be sunk with
out transferring passengers and crew to a
place of safety. Following is the sub
stance Of the note:
The United States is surprised at the
German contention that an effort on the
part of merchantmen to escape capture
and secure assistance alters the obligation
Of the officer seeking TO make the capture
in respect of the safety Of the lives Of
those on board the merchantmen. although
the vessel had ceased her attempt TO
escape when torpedoed.
Nothing but actual forcible resistance or
continued efforts to escape by flight when
ordered TO stop for the purpose Of visit on
the part Of the merchantmen has ever
been held to forfeit the lives Of her pas
sengers or crew.
The United States is able to officially
assure the Germans that the Lusitania was
not armed for offensive action; that she
was not serving as transport that she
did not carry a cargo prohibited by the
United States. and that the United States
performed its duties as neutral with
thorouehness. II asks the German gov
eminent IL it has as convincing evidence
to the contrary to submit to it.
This principle the government Of the
United States understands the explicit in
structions issued on August 3, 1914. by the
German admiralty to its commanders at
sea to have recognized and embodied.
The United States confidently looks to
see the justice and humanity Of the gov
eminent of Germany indicated in all
cases where Americans have been wroneed
or their rights as neutrals invaded.
The proclamation Of a war zone from
which neutral ships have been warned to
keep away cannot be made to operate as
in any degree an abbreviation Of the rights
