BRYANT FOR SPEAKER.

1t developed Tuesday that a
concerted movement is under
way to make Howard Bryant, of
Baltimore county, Speaker of
the House of Delegates, and it
is understood that Congressman
Talbot, the Baltimore county
leader. and lohn J. Mahan, lead
er Of the city organization, will
have a conference within a short
time. says the Baltimore Sun.
Mr.. Bryant has been a tenta-
tive candidate for the Speaker
er some time, and it has been
believed for weeks that he had
a good chance to land the place
in the shake-down, in the event
that Philip D. Laird, of Mont
gomery, declined to become a
candidate. But is was believed
hardly likely that Mr.. Bryant
would figure Importantly unless
Mr.. Laird were out Of the field,
for it has been the understand
ing in political circles that Mr..
Talbot and the Baltimore coun-
ty people were going along with
the new State administration,
and it has been an open secret
that Governor-elect Harrington
was inclined strongly to Mr..
Laird.
Tuesday, however, George
Lewis, who is a sort of outside
man for the city organization,
began to circulate about town
talking Bryant, and soon after
ward it was learned that Lewis
really was rejecting what was

WHERE DO YOUR FOWLS Roos7
ON WINTER NIGHTS?
ROY H. WAITE,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

Maryland Agricultural experiment
Station.
Do you ever look into your hen house
to see how the fowls are spending the
night? 1t will pay you to keep track
of how your birds arrange themselves
for the night, especially during the
cold winter months. This is one phase
of poultry culture that seems to be
overlooked by most writer's.
We hear about colds being caused
by all manner of things. but did It ever
oscur to you that isolated cases OF
colds might be caused by birds roost
ing apart in q drafty portion Of the
house? l have seen hens roost on
nests, feed-hoppers, cross braces and
even ON drinking vessels. What is
worse, l have seen many take cold
apparently from no other reason than
that they were in a very cold and
drafty place. The best way to Keep
them of such places is to provide
sloping tops so that the birds cannot
obtain a foothold.
1t is especially important to look
after this situation when you have
more than one male in the pen. Rave
you ever puzzled over the fact that
one male bird seemed to stand the cold
weather better than the otheFs? II
might be interesting for you to watch
proceedings about roosting time some
cold night. This may be about what
happens: The more timtd "rooster,
gets on the perches early and settles
down to enjoy the nights rest. A lit
tie later, up jumps the boss ROOSTER
(there is always a boss), and drives
them off, They vainly try to get back
a few times and then give it up, final
ly contenting themselves with most
any place they can find. They are
somewhat heated up and ready to take
a cold and on extremely cold nights
are in fair way to get frozen comb.
The boss" sits up among the flock,
their animal heat helping to keep him
warm and comfortable. Those roost-
ing apart are lucky to get OF with
simply frozen comb, they sometimes
In addition have their toes frozen.

going on in the inside of the
Baltimore county and the Balti-
more city organizations. Evil
IDENTIFY the leaders of the two
organizations had been in touch
for a day or two.
The situation is rather surprls-
ing. 1t has been thought that
the antagonism between the city
people and Mr.. Talbot and his
organization arising from the
annexation question would be
sufficient to keep them on
separate sides of the fence upon
the Speakership, even if the per-
sonal feeling between some OF
the City Hall people and Mr..
Talbot were allayed. Presum-
ably, Howard Bryant, who is a
shrewd, resourceful lawyer,
practicing in Baltimore city and
living in Baltimore county, and
who was put on the ticket by
the Talbot people to aid them
in their fight in the Legislature
against annexation, would be
the last man in the would that
the city forces would want in
the Speakers chair.
But it appears that the city
people are willing to take any,
one to beat Mr.. Laird. Accord
ing to reports that were about
last night, the determination of
the friends of Senator Blair Lee
to defeat Mr.. Laird for Speaker
at any cost-even to the extent
of boiling a part caucus
shared by the leaders of the city
organization who supported Sena-
tor Lee for the nomination for
Governor. And their best chance
of beating Mr.. Laird seems to be
in going into the enemy's camp
and taking Mr.. Bryant.
The Observation-Disclosures forces
figure, it is understood, that by
combining their II city votes,
the five or six Lee votes from
the counties, the six votes from
Baltimore county, and possibly,
the four votes from Anne Arun-
del county, they will be able to
control the caucus, in which %
votes will be the majority.
1t is not known how Governor
elect Harrington, Senator Smith,
Frank A. Furst and the other
leaders of State organization will
act in the situation. 1t has been
known that Mr.. Harrington and
Mr.. Furst strongly favored Mr..
Laird and that Senator Smith
was perfectly willing to take
him, although he felt very kind
ly, too, toward Mr.. Bryant.
1t may very we'll be that Mr..
Harrington and Mr.. Furst will
conclude that they cannot oppose
a Baltimore county man for the
Speakership-one of their own
camp-in the event that the
reston-Mahon-Lee people are
willing to support him. And it
is regarded as most likely that
Senator Smith will not interpose
objections to Mr.. Bryant. TIE
latter's cause may be aided with
all three Of the State leaders by
his reported stand that he would
not take the Speakership if he
could get it, unless they were
willing.
Whether Mr.. Laird will be a
candidate for the Speakership,
in view of the developments,
cannot be stated. 1t is known
that his health has been one con-
sideration which has inclined
him against being a candidate.

" ayerted last evening about 6.30

Suddenly the machine in front came
to a dead stop. The driver Of the rear

and a collision resulted. Both ma
chimes were badly damaged but none
