New York Women
 Begin Egg Boycott

Ne~ York, Nov 29.---New York city,s fight to reduce the high cost of living began in earnest yester- day with a boycott on eggs by thou sands of housewives This was fol- lowed by a direct appeal by the National Housewivea' League to President Wilson for the regulation of the country's food supply, and meetings of federal, state and city officials and Investigating commit tees as well as various civic organ ization5 at which resolutions were adopted looking to speedy read justmcnt of conditions. Coincident- ali with the egg boycott, there was a break in the poultry market, the price of turkeys dropping from to cents on the pound.
 Virtually every branch of the municipal government was at work yesterday in an endeayor to find a solution of the food problem A statement issued by Israel Feinberg, president of the board of coroners declared that the present high cost of living is directly reflected in an increase in the number of suicides, deaths from lack of proper uourishment and birth control"

OvERTON GUILTY;
 DIE BY HANGING
Former Circuit Clerk al Huntsville, Ala, Killed
 Circuit Judge.

Huntsville Ala, Nov. 29.---There is a new order of things in Madison county. For the first time since the civil war a jury yesterday morning returned a verdict of mur- der in the first degree against a white man. A minute later Judge Miller was sentencing David Over ton, former circuit clerk and a po- ltical power in his day, to hang for the wilful, malicious and prcmedt- tated murder of Judge w. T. Law Ter
 To the very last Overton protest ed his innocence.
 "What have you to say why the sentence of death should not be passcd?" asked the judge.
 Not guilty" repeated Overton, as he shrugged his shoulders and squared himself,
 The judge had been turning the pages of a calendar
 "Then it fs the judgment of this court that you be hanged by the neck until you are dead" he con tinucd '1 fix the date at Friday, Jan. 12."
 Of course, OyeYton's attorney prayed all appeal to the next term of the supreme court at Montgom- cry, and Judge Miller suspended the sentence. But at the same time Sheriff Lowe was waiting with a platoon of deputies to remove Over ton from the courtroom. It was raining, That didn't make any diff ference, Neither did Oycrton's pri- vate request Monday night that he be kept in Huntsville, no matter how extreme the penalty.
 Last night the Memphis Special started him on his way to Birm- ingham.
 The officers say the removal to Birmingham is precautionary measure, They may be right How ever, relying only on careful sur vey of the situation and not on per sonal feelings or onc-sidcd view, it must be said that the removal of Oyorton, while commcndablc be- cause precautionary nevertheless does not appear to be absolutely necessary.

Military Genius
 Of Villa Displayed

Ciudad Juarez. Mex. Nov. 29.--- Another instance of the uncanny genius and trickcry of Vil- la that has gained for him the name "Tho fox of the Sicrraa' is being told here today by refugees from the south.
 On the night of his attack upon Chihuahua he utilized bold trick to enable his mon to enter the city uudctected. Learning through spies that thousands of reinforccmcnta had arrived from Monterey and had been put upon guard duty. hc evolved this stratcgom. When he arrived in the outskirts he sent for ward small details of his own men with instructions to relieve the Car ranzistas on outpost duty. They marched up, gave the password and an officer informed the guard he had been detailed to relieve them Deluded into the belief the new corners were members of the gar rison, the outposts marched away leaving Villas own men to guard the town
 It was Villa who first put into practice the idea of driving herds of cattle over ground believed tc be planted with mines. Since it has been picked up by commanders in the European war, TIe also used herds of cattle as living barricadca when attacking entrcnched posi- tions. His men would drive hun dreds of cattle up before the trench os using them as cover.

SCOTLANp'S BIG SHIP CANAL
Project for Passage From Forth to
the Clyde Again Agi-
tated.

Enthusiasm for the making Of q mid
Scotland ship canal has been burning
for over hundred years in Glasgow.
The sudden flame which has Just
burned out is no doubt connected like
the Channel tunnel, with problems sug-
gested by the war, observes the London
Chronicle, An easy passage from the
Forth TO the Clyde was recognized by
Dcfoe in the reign of Queen Anne
as sound strategic and commercial
proposition. In the middle of the
eighteenth century the Glasgow corpo-
ration added $1,000 to the fund for con
structing the present very useful barge
canal through the Kelvin valley be-
tween the Forth and the Clyde.
What ship canal between the North
sea and the Atlantic would mean for
the British navy as well as for GlaS-
gov may be gathered from compari-
son of the time saved by avoiding the
stormy waters Of the Portland Firth.
a ship leaving Glasgow for Hull would
save 62G miles; for Dundee 434, for
London 271, and for Hamburg Of ever
the time should come agnin) 4S7. .Liv-
crpoOi, of course, would share these
economies with Glasgow. Biologists.
ms If to encourage the pioneers, remind
us that the sea once flowed across
Scotland through the valleys where
the proposed canal would run.
