Domestic and Other Conversational
Requirements.

Word comes from the ever interesting
Pacific coast that the "waye of enlight-
ment that began in San Francisco and
that is toilsomely making its ways east
ward has so uplifted the conversational
tone of the ladies I'm those parts that TO
be their equals in dinner table talk our
men folk will need to polish up what
ever mental equipment they may possess
or else stay at home and confine their
conversational prowess to the domestic
board, where the requirements are not
severe"
We like the spirit of this. Nothing
Mandy PANTY here. A sturdy, ringing
boast and threat combined: ave are the
people; watch your steps!" We guess
no part of the country boosts itself, es-
pecially in intellectual stuff, so to say,
unless it is there with the punch the
trumpet note of defiance.
We find, however, in the language we
have quoted above a hint, as it seems, of
a social status interesting indeed, If we
are not misled in our reading. Gentle
men of the East, 1t is suggested, unequal
in hazard Of wits with ladies who have
received baptism In this wave OF enlight-
enUehty were IN OeJter place. OF place
better adapted TO their mental limitation,
If at home, Combining their conversation
al prowess to the domestic board"
Somehow it is impossible to escape a
notion thus conveyed that gentlemen
leaving dining tables under the unhappy
handicap of inability to meet scintillating
sparks with ingenious particles would
upon returning home find their wives
there.
Maybe not; we may have miscon
strued, yet the haunting thought prevails
that gentlemen dining with lad:vs where
the pillows of thought roll high and
strong leave their wives to dine at the
domestic board. where the requirements
are not severe, but the dinners, no doubt, |
much better-New York Sun.

AWAIT TAFT'S
AID TO HUGHES
Expectation of Public Announcement BY
Ex-President Interests All
Leaders.

Washington, May l3.--Politicians who
are following the various presidential
booms pricked up their ears yesterday
over reports that former President Taft
soon viii come out openly for Justice
Hughes to head the Republican ticket.
Not only is this hailed by the Hughes
supporters as evidence that support for
the justice is growing, but it is regarded
as indicating that many OF the Republi-
can political leaders who stood by Taft
and fought for him in 1912 are going to
support Hughes.
Furthermore, it is regarded as showing
that by no means all the old guard poll
ticians who have tried to head off Roose-
Welt and who now, thinking Roosevelt
has been halted, are trying TO stop
Hughes, are engaged in this movement
to throw the nomination elsewhere than
to Hughes.
So far as the support of Taft himself
is concerned, many politicians who are
not for Hughes take the view that il
will be two edged. They point out that
while on the one hand it may add some
thing to Hughes strength, on the other
hand it will have a tendency to ALLEVIATE
some of the progressive Republicans who
refused TO support Taft in 1912. and to
make il easier for the Bull Moose to ac-
cept Hughes should he be nominated.

The Bungalow Church.

Only very lately has there been any
indication of declaration OF independ.
ence in the matter of church planning in
this country. This is chiefly evidenced
in the tendency to build churches better
suited to modern church life than any
ecclesiastical Office can possibly be-
Nowadays, the church is seeking to get
into closer touch with the daily lives of
people, to become something real and
definite and personal to them. In larger
cities this effort takes concrete form in
the institutional church-an everyday
church which recognizes temporal as well
as spiritual needs. 1t recognizes the
fact that the effect of the Sunday SER
mon may be lost unless those who hear
it have a chance to work and play under
pleasant conditions the rest
of the week; and that it is not beneath
the dignity Of the church to provide
such conditions, if need be. The bunga-
low church, which has gained a remark
able popularity in southern California,
shows how one community has solved the
problem of building small churches with
in the means of small congregations,
suited to their individual needs without
ietracting from the appearance OF the

Care of Metal UtensiIs.A

There had been wholesale poisoning in
one city after a musicale Nothing in
the menu seemed at fault. and it was
only after careful investigation that the
cause was learned--a metal spoon al
lowed to stand all night in the mayon-
naise.
Too great care cannot be taken in the
use OF metal utensils. 1t pays for house
keepers to buy heavily plated forks and
spoons for kitchen use, as the cheaper
ones wear off and are used long after
they are unsafe.
Keep sharp watch on ice cream freez
ers when old they give bad cases Of
lead poisoning. They should be discarded
when the enamel begins to wear off.
Never put acid jellies or tomatoes in
tin dishes to cool-the results are sure
to be injurious. Use earthenware molds
wherever possible.
In opening canned goods pour out the
contents Immediately, Enough but por-
tion is to be used. The air acting on the
metal poisons the contents.
III you buy table oil in quantities never
let it stay in the opened cans. Bottle
at once. Never mix mayonnaise in a tin
dish. The action of the vinegar or lem
on on it makes for illness Manchester

RAISING YOUNG CHICKS.
Big Saving Comes from Saving These
Fra1 Little Fellows.

One of the best indications of poul-
tryman's ability is his success in raising
young chicks. If this part of the work
is unsuccessful the entire business will
be proportionately poor, because in poul-
try raising it is practically necessary to
reproduce the entire stock each season.
Successful rearing not only means the
raising of reasonable percentage of the
chicks Matched, but also raising them in
such a manner that they can developed
into mature stock without setbacks and
with as much vigor as possible. Results
In raising chickens are, of course, depend
emit upon thoroughness in many details,
neglect of any of which may bring in
different results, but of all details feed
ing is perhaps the one giving the great
est trouble, says the Country Gentle
man.
The feeding of the young chicks for
the first few weeks is the foundation
upon which the future of the flock de-
ponds. Improper feeding in early life
not only causes loss of chicks, but also
stunts growth and causes disorders that
show their effects later, even though the
trouble is apparently outgrown when the
fowls reach maturity.
There has always been a great deal Of
controversy as 10 how soon the chicks
should be fed after Matching. Some
claim that the chicks should receive no
feed for IS hours after Matching, but the
experience of many practical poultrymen
Is that the chicks should be fed as soon

WANTS DETAILS.
OF How Germany Punished Submarine
Commander.

Washington, D. c., May l2.-secretary
Lansing indicated yesterday that the
United States might make inquiries of
the German government regarding the
punishment imposed upon the comman-
der of the submarine that sank the
steamer Sussex.
1t was not disclosed that the inquiry
would be made. There are numerous
precedents for making such an inquiry.
Germany during the trouble in China in
sisted upon the execution of certain per-
sons in the presence Of German Off
Ger.
Secretary Lansing also indicated that
the United States might make inquiries
regarding the punishment inflicted by
the Austrian government upon the sub
marine commander that sunk the ltal-
ian steamship Ancona and the British
steamer Arabic.

the chicks will sleep after being taken
from the incubator, at which time they
need no feed, but as soon as they become
FESTIVE and begin picking at things and
at each other feeding should begin.
The first feed should consist of some
thing soft and easily digested. The feed
ing should be regular and small
quantities at time being given and
great care taken not to oyerfeed, A mix
ture of equal parts rolled oats and stale
breadcrumbs, mixed with finely ground
hard boiled eggs, shells included, has
given excellent results. This should be
mixed in the proportion of one egg to
ak times that bulk of rolled oats and
breadcrumb mixture. A little fine grit
may be added to the mixture, but only
little, as the chicks viii eat anything
the first two weeks of their lives and
are as likely to fill up on grit as on feed.
This mixture should be fed five times
day the first three days, on large sheets
of brown paper; after that chick feed
may be allowed twice day and the egg
mixture three times day.
After the first week the egg mixture
may be fed in small galvanized troughs
and the grain thrown into light litters

should be taken TO remove any mash
that is left. Dry wheat bran kept be-

made from the following: $50 pounds
cracked wheat, 100 pounds pinhead oats.
$50 pounds finely screened cracked corn,
100 pounds finely cracked kaffir, 20
pounds broken rice. 80 pounds cracked
peas, 50 pounds chick grit and 20 pounds

Senator Kenyon Would Like
Public Hearings on

DRUG MERGER
INQUIRY ON
Witnesses Tell of Riker-
Hegeman Drug-Cigar
Stores Combine

Washington, May l3-Louis d. Bran
deis was employed by the forces seeking
to merge the United Cigar Stores Co. anc
the Riker- Hegeman drug concern to say
whether the proposed plan was legal be
cause he was known to lean backward
In favor OF the enforcement OF anti
trust acts. This was testified yesterday
before the Senate judiciary committee by
Louis X. Liggett, chief figure in the
merger, and his attorney, z. 4. Snow,
both OF Boston.
"We thought if we could get by him
we could get by anyone said Snow.
"When he finally told us our proposed
business adventure was lawful we we're
so confident that we went ahead with 1t
despite hints by the United States dis
trict attorney he might prosecute us.
The two witnesses had been called by
| the opposition to Brandcis to show him
out OF sympathy with the antitrust acts
and that he had approved combines which
the government believes illegal.
Mr.. Liggett said the merger of these
two companies had been planned by him,
but that his attorney, r. #. Snow, had
advised him, before action, to ask Mr..
Brandeis If the proposal was proper.
Mr.. Brandeis finally did hold their
proposed course legal, and the merger
subsequently was completed, said the
witness. He said the department of jus
tice still was suspicious that his enlarged
property~-l53 stores and 5000 agents
might do wrong to competitors If 1t
wished. and was In violation of trust
laws, although no suit ever has been filed.
He said the proposal involved no plan
of monopoly, but that the combine gave
an opportunity for an economical carry
ing on of both businesses.
George w. Anderson, United States at |
torney. who looked into this merger a
few months ago, said he disagreed with |
MIR. Brandeis' opinion that the merger |
was legal, but this was merely an honest |
difference of opinion.
A fight TO carry the Brandeis fight into
the open was begun yesterday by SEN
ator Kenyon of Ohio, who introduced n /
resolution to consider all business Of the
Senate in open sessions except interna
tionaI affairs. II this resolution carries
it will overturn long practice.
Last year similar resolution. also in
troduced by Senator Kenyon, failed of
passage but by single vote, and Sen
ator La Toilette, who was absent would
have voted for it if present. This year
he will make it point to attend.
The two first big nominations to- be
considered under the new proposed rules
would be those of Brandeis and Federal
Trade Commissioner Rublee. The post
at Chicago and New York
probably would be next.
