POULTRY HOUSE HINTS.
Ventilation Is One of Chief Problems
 in Care of FIock-Hens Need Air..

One of the chief problems in the
 care of the flock in winter is venula- :
 ton of the poultry house. There still
 remains among. experts difference
 of opinion as to- the amount of fresh
 air that a hen needs for best results
 It is undou btedly true that .LeShorns
 will. not do as well in "a house with a
 large open front as will other breeds
 which are larger and better accliInat- ed to New England weather condi- -tions This does not mean, however.
 that Leghorns should not be given
 enough open front to provide sufficient
 circulation of fresh air to avoid damp
 ness in the henlaouse or overheating
 on the roosts. =
 :, A good plan for the front of pouI-
 try, house used flor LeShorns is one third opening. one third glass and one
 third closed. Heavier breeds can: get open with a less amount of glas~ f-i. open fronts should be pr -ed tp cold and stormy weather by 4 cheese cloth curtain 50 hung that it can be wea ther conditions. When the tenn perature goes below 20 degrees the curtain should be lowered part wae -whan below r. degrees it should be sun is. shining, regardless of the tenn perature. the curtain should always
 be raised Q si,cw a free circula ton of tsry fresh air and. to provide; the fowls with plenty Of good ozone. to keep thenl in good health.

 In order to cleanse the house and. increase the amount of light :< the building it is wise to house. This will help surprisingly during the dark winter days when it IS necessary. to have the curtains closed. Roosts and other necessary ? ppliances should also be removed and thoroughly disinfected and every ef- fort ased to make the, house as clean and sanitary as possible for winter, when the fowls most easily become infected with disease.

If warnings are not worked off by mid-years. which come in Feb ruary. a student is conditioned in the subject or subjects in which she has received warning.
 Every student at the college elects at hef entrance to Couege an ddV1Sor in a major group, to whom she may. go for advice as regards studies and standards, and who advises her as to her standard in scholarship.

 "In trotting there should be clean folding of the knee and hook. the feet being carried in straight line. The hooks should work close together. for if they are carried to far apart it causes an unsightiy bandy-leged ap- pearance.

SUGAR T!GHTENS
in D. c. Stores
Distributors and Dealers Find Stock
Is About Exhausted.

The shortage of sugar in Washing Z.
ton has become acute. Several OF the
large dealers have no stock on hand
and many others have but little.
Some Of the large retail distributors
have stopped selling the commodity
and smaller grocers have been un-
able to obtain new supplies and their
stock has become exhausted.
Sugar which has been ordered for
as long as three months has not been
shipped by the refiners and no ex-
PLANTATION can be obtained as to the
stopping of the supply.
Confectioners have been hard hit
by the shortage. Only a part OF their
orders have been filled by the job
bers who declare they are unable to
obtain sugar themselves and unless
relief comes soon many of the city's
largest candy manufacturers will be
forced to close. Under the pure food
law no substitute for sugar can be
used in the manufacture of candy.
What sugar there is in Washington
is being carefully conserved by those
handling it and efforts are being made
to prevent the boarding of it in pri-
vate families.

HOUSING OF WORKERS
in WAR PUZZLES u. S.
May Form Building and Loan Asso-
citation for Relief.

A Federal building and loan organi-
zation, through which the govern
ment would deal in real estate, and
conduct building operations for the
housing of workers on war contracts,
is necessary to relieve the situation
around Federal contract factories, in
the opinion OF the committee on
Housing of the Council of National
Defense, made public yesterday by
w. S. Clifford. director of the coun-
Gil.
Immediate aid by the government
is needed in many communities If
the work essential to the prosecution
of the war is to be continued in any
satisfactory manner. Although it is
suggested that the aid will take the
form of loan. it is expected that some
loss to the government in money will
result. but this is considered negli-
gible in the exigency of the war con-
tract work.
1t is advised in the report that all
government agencies. before CLOSING
contracts, give due consideration to
the labor supply and housing con-
tracts. to prevent labor congestion
where the facilities for taking care
of the increased number of workers
would be inadequate.

TO Dc. DRAFTED men
Night Classes in Schools If Wal
Department Approves.

Radio telegraphy classes in Wash
ington high schools for the bene-
fit of the Districts drafted men will
be opened in the near future II
the War Department sanctions them.
They will be held in the evening,
probably twice each week.
W. B. Patterson. in charge Of
the night schools. made this an
nouncement last night. The classes
will probably meet in Mckinley
Manual Training School. the Arm
strong and the Dunbar.
War Department officials have in
quired and learned from school Of
ficials that such. classes could be
established should the radio station
once located at the Mckinley Train
ing School be replaced.
1t is especially desirable that the
conscripted men have knowledge Of
telegraphy before they go into camp
as this would aid in qualifying them
for the Signal Corps wnere there is
a particular need for their services.
The War Department Is expected
to put its stamp of approval on the
scheme, and at the same time. des-
ignate corps Of its own officers
as instructors.

NAY CUT Down
AUT0INDUSTRY
TO Save STEEL
Delegation Of Manufacturers
Begin Conference in
This City.

A curtailment of the production of
automobile manufacture, particularly
OF pleasure cars, is threatened by
the steel shortage and the needs of
the. government; in fact, the whole
automobile industry faces a prob
lematic curtailment of its energies
as well as of its production. II en-
forcement Of economy in maretial
needed for war purposes should exact
a decreased output in Inon-essential
cars without diverting all of the en-
ergies of the industry to government
contracts on vehicles, airplanes and
motors.
The situation is such that large
delegation of automobile manufactur-
ers yesterday began conferences with
the War Industries Board Of the
Council of National Defense.
Yesterdays conference, the auto
mobile men proposed, It is understood,
that they be permitted to aid the gov
gernment and conserve their own in
dustry as a whole by adopting the
same method of control as the rail-
roads, having leaders of their own
manufacturing world form a govern
ing committee. and a committee was
organized tentatively for further con-
ference with the War Industries
Board tomorrow.
Divergence of Method.
tits known that there is a una
nimity OF opinion in the council for
the curtailment of non-esstntial pro-
duction, although there is some diver
gence as to method proposed. 1t was
proposed in one quarter that all non
essential production in every industry
be curtailed as soon as possible to
an extent to be predetermined and
fixed by regulation in each instance.
The trend of action that probably
will prevail. however, will be to div
ert great producing organizations to
essential productions and so conserve
the organizations, the welfare of the
workers and the general community
prosperity, as well as utilizing ell
three factors for the work necessary
to the war.
The automobile and automobile ac-
cessories industry, 1t was pointed out
in this connection, is now responsible
for great part of the nations pros
perity doing an annual business of
two to two and a half billion dollars
and supporting approximately five per
cent of the population.

OF the state, war and navy build
ingS. They assembled in columns
OF four and with platroons in or
der from front to rear stood ready
to swing out into Executive ave
nue. and on to the front of the
White House grounds into the
court of honor.
An hour before the time tor
the president to pass from the
White House to the capitol, the
New York troops were all in posi-
tion, lined in with their backs to
the crowd, standing at rest, with
the butts of their rifles on the
pavement. 1t was the first time
since the first Inauguration of
President Lincoln that troops had
been used to guard the line of
march. Then as now, the coun-
try was at a crisis. Meanwhile,
cadets of the Culver military aca-
deny were forming at the hotel
of Vice President Marshall, ready
to escort the vice president and
Mrs. Marshall to the White House
to join the presidential party in
the march to the capitol.
While things were getting into
motion at the White House, the
last minute preparations were
rapidly taking form at the capitol.
The senate assembled in special
session for its part in the inaue-
ural ceremony, and the great
crowd on the plaza gathered for
the outdoor exercises at which
the president delivered his inaug-
ural address.
The arrangements completed,
the inaugural procession proceed
ed from the White House to the
capitol, where President Wilson
took the oath of Office in public
al i2:45 this afternoon, and then
denvered his inaugural address
before a great crowd which pack
ed the plaza at the east front of
the capitol. Vice President Mar
shall had been inau9urated in the
senate chamber a few minutes
before.
