defective children out of the public
schools will be considered by the re-
organized school board in July. The
resolution is favored by Miss Estelle
Levy, head of the school for excep-
tional children, and by some of the
public school authorities. "The pur-
pose is to bar from the schools such
children as have not attained the
mental age of four after four months
trial." says Miss Levy. 1T seems to
be waste of taxpayers money to
spend it on children who cannot be
helped by their school work. 1t would
benefit all concerned to bar them"
New Orleans-The Louisiana state
board of education has put its foot
down on Mother Gooses rhymes,
throwing out reader series because
of these dltties in them. Ex-Governor
Hall and other prominent members,
who are plantation born and reared,
thought they belttled the farmer.
Supt OF Education Harris and other
members of the board fought valiant
ly for the rhymes, but were outvoted.
New York-A naval reserve organ
ization, to be trained under officers
of the navy, is being organized in this
city by men teachers and principals
of the city schools, who have already
enlisted in company which is being
trained by regular officers. The New
York school teachers plan to form
the pioneer section of an American
mosquito fleet, patterned after the
British organization of motor boats,
yachts and other small craft, armed
with three-inch guns and machine
guns, which now patrols the waters
off the British Isles for submarines,
Many of the teachers and principals
are the owners of motor boats and
spend their summers off shore. Dur.
ing the summer now at hand, they
will complete their course of training,
and the school teacher will then fill
another important role in the prepar.
edness program of the present day.

Chicago-One of the biggest lega-

the bequest is expressed by the late
Mr.. Lathrop as follows; "The city
of Chicago now has universities, tech.
nical schools, museums and an unsur-
passed orchestra, but it has no public
school of music, such as the Conserv-
atoire of Paris, and it is in my opin-
ion very desirable that an institution
should be founded in Chicago in
which an education can be obtained
in the higher branches of music and
musical composition, not inferior to
that provided in the cities of Europe. ("

American Concerns
ORDER FRAUGHT WITH
GRAVE CONSEQUENCES
Likely to Raise an Issue of ar-Reach-
ing Consequences Between the Gov
ernments Of the United States and
Great Britain

WASHINGTON, July 10. - The
British government s announcement
that it had blacklisted' nearly 100
business firms and individuals "domi-
cilcd" i'll the United States and with
which British subjects are forbidden to
trade, will raise an issue of far-reaching
consequence and Importance between
the governments of the United States
and Great Britain.
1t will bring to Il focus the contro-
verSy between the two governments re
garding the application of the British
trading Wlth-the-enemy act to American
business firms and result in President
Wilson 5 sending an early protest to the
British government, to be delivered
through American Ambassador Page
This protest will be against the APP
pHcation OF the trading with-the- enemy
act, insofar as it affects the trade OF
the United States. and to contest the
legality or rightfulness OF imposing re-
strictions upon the freedom of Ameri-
can trade in this matter.
The blacklisting of 50 or more con
Germs in this country is considered by
the Washington government as Il most
serious matter.
In the opinion of officials here it is
believed that the practical effect OF the
placing OF American firms on the Brit
i>h statutory blacklist will be to bar
them from the import and export trade.
While the trading with-the-enemy act,
in terms only prohibits British subjects
from trading with the blacklisted firms.
the actual policy has been to prevent
blacklstcd firms in other neutral com-
tries from engaging in foreign trade.
because of the practical impossibility
of obtaining vessels in which to move
their imports or exports.
British steamship companies, accord
ing to data officially gathered here, are
refusing to haul good, for firms ON the
British blacklist, on the theory that
this might be regarded as trading with
the enemy and result in their prose
cution by the British government. Neu-
trail shipping lines are feeling the press
uro Of the situation and are in many
instances also refusing to handle ship
mcnts for persons or firms ON the black
list.
1t is the contention in official circles
here, based ON data collected, that

CARE AND FEED FOR CHICKS
Youngsters Are Better on Without
Food for First Forty-Eisht Hours
Keep Them Warm.

tBy II. l. KEMPSTER, University OF Mis-
souri,. College OF Agriculture)
Studies at the Missouri agricultural
experiment station warrant the follow
ing recommendations In regard to the
care and feeding of young chicks:
During the first two days of the
chicks life 1t should rest and be kept
warm. It is better without having
food until 1t is f~orty-eight hours old.
Then the following mixture should be
fed In dry litter and also in a shallow
tray: three parts finely cracked wheat,
three parts finely cracked corn, one
part steel cut oats. Keep some of
this in the litter at the time.
Chicks should have access to a
clean drinking fountain which should
be so constructed that they cannot
get themselves wet. Il Is also desir-
able to give them access to sour skim
milk or buttermilk. Twice daily the
chicks should receive rolled oats or
the following mixture: three parts
bread crumbs, three parts corn bread,
one part boiled egg. This mixture
may be fed dry or Il may be mOistened
with sour milk. A very small amount
of charcoal and finely cut green food
should also be fed.
Continue the mixture of wheat, corn
and oats until the chicks are four
weeks old, changing gradually from
the finer to more cOarsely ground
feed. Keep the following mixture in
a box where chicks may run to It at
all times: 30 parts wheat bran, 30
parts corn meal. 30 parts wheat mid
dlings, ten parts beef scrap, sifted
fine, and one part bone meal.
Keep fine charcoal and grit where
chicks may haYe free access to 1t.
Feed four times daily. Continue the
green feed and give the chicks milk.
II may be advisable to feed q wet
mash Once a day at 400 p. m. Feed
only what the chicks will eat up clean
before going TO roost. Change gradu-
ally from chick food to cracked corr
and wheat. Chickens that are not
yarded should be fed corn and wheat
In litter as a scratch food and should
also have access to a dry mash in a
hopper where they can help them
sci es.
Raise chickens with the simplest
FatiOns possible. Clean food. consist
ing Of cracked and ground grain; ami

sure to relieve a case Of catarrh Of

relief from catarrhal affections,
tens of thousands Of lives will be
saved and hundreds of thousands

the various breeds and varieties can
not enter a free-for-all competition on
size Of birds, shape, color, comb, ear.
lobes, shanks, etc, for they are not
the same with different breeds, but
the size and shape Of all eggs should
be the same.
An ideal egg should be an oblong
oval. slightly tapering from one end
to the other and should weigh two and
one-sixth ounces, or 26 ounces to the
dozen. Eggs of this size and shape
are the correct size to fill the stand

will give better results than where va
rious sizes and shapes are incubated
together.
The old idea that round eggs hatch
pnllets and the long eggs hatch cock
erels is incorrect, for a hen lays uni
formly shaped eggs regularly which
hatch approximately an equal number
OF cockerels and pullets.
Nothing car be told from the size
and shape of an egg whether it is fer.
tile or ~infertile, or whether 1t would
hatch a cockerel or a pullet. but the
shape OF an egg is a characteristic
which is transmitted to the offspring.
Therefore, use as breeders only the
hens which produce eggs Of correct
size and shape.

Much has been said about high rec.
0rds made by hens in the e~gg-laying
contests as well as records made by
hens In the yards Of poultry breeders.
The number OF eggs produced is not
all that should be considered, for an
egg TO be Of value should be OF good
size and shape, and be covered with a
sound, smooth shell.

poultry industry that hens & & are

It may seem, the hens whose eggs av-
eraged 2O3 Ounces averaged SITS
pounds, while the ones whose eggs av-
eraged 2.29 ounces averaged only $40

hen has little or no influence on the
size OF an egg. A four-pOund hen will

point all breeders can work for. as IL

RIGHT START WITH POULTRY
Don't Begin With the Idea Of Getting
Large Profits Out Of Fancy
Breeds and Showing.

No one should start into the grow
ing Of poultry on a large scale with
the idea Of getting much out Of fancy
breeding and showing.
Better start with the production of
a fine line OF table eggs and dressed
poultry and in the course of years
branch out into the fancy business.
II takes much more knowledge and
experience to handle the fancy side
than 1t does the practical side.

DISEASE ON THE DECREASE
Association for the Study and Proven.
tlon Of tuberculosis Has Good
Reason to Be Proud.

While the latest report Of the bu-
reau OF census shows that In 1914
tuberculosis caused over 10.5 per cent
of all deaths in the registration area
of the United States, the National AS
ISOLATION for the Study and Prevention
Of tuberculosis points out in a state
ment that the death rate from this
disease is steadily decreasing. having
declined from BOOT per 10O,OO popula-
ton in 1904 to 1853 in 1914. This
would indicate, the association claims.
that the antituberculosis movement or.
ganized in the last ten years Is hav.
ing a marked effect on the mortality
of tuberculosis, especially since the
death rate from this disease seems to
be declining more rapidly than the
general death rate from all causes
Commenting on this decrease in the
rate from tuberculosis. the bureau OF
the census says: "As a result Of a
more general understanding OF the
laws of health, the importance of fresh
air etc. due in part. no doubt, to the
efforts of the various societies for the
prevention of tuberculosis, there has
been a most marked and gratifying
decrease during recent years in the
mortality from this scourge OF civili-
zation. In only a decade-from 1904
to 1914-the death rate from tubercu-
losis in, all its forms fell from 2OO.7
to 1853 per 100000. the decline being
continuous from year to year. This
is a drop of more than rs per cent"

MAKE PROFIT WITH POULTRY
Turkeys, Geese, Ducks and Gulneas
Could Be Raised as Well as
Chickens on Average Farm.

There is room enough, feed enough
and time enough on most farms to
raise several different kinds Of fowls.
Not only could a large flock Of pure
bred chickens be kept, but turkeys,
geese, ducks and guineas could also
be raised.
Where one lives within reach Of q
city or good shipping facilities it
would not be a very difficult matter
to make several hundred dollars a
year in clear profits from the fowls
on the farm.
Much depends upon the interest
taken and the facilities for raising the
birds and marketing the products.
