SWANSEA $ TAX
 APPEAL DENIED

James G. Stafford of Los Angeles. representing the Clark interests, lessees of the Swansea mine, appeared before the state tax commission yes terday and asked for a material re- duction in the assessment of their property, on the theory that all of the proceeds of the property, and more, had been going into the de- velopment of the mine. and on this account there wIs no income out of which to pay excessive taxes.
 The extraordinary development now going forward was made necessary by the fact that all previous opera tions of the property had not in cluded any development work as all of the income was used toward pay ing off old debts. MT Stafford sug- gested that his people felt inclined to bring suit for the purpose of de- ternIning the value of the property,
 The application was denied by the commission.

VALJEAN ACT H|S UND0|NG

A theft prompted by hunger was ad- mited by Angelo Scoffoin, an IS year old Italian, who was arranged in Just ice Wheeler's court Friday. Frankly confessing his guilt, the lad who came to Phoenix from San Francisco on freight train a few days ago, said that he was so desirous of food that he had to steal the first thing he could lay his hands on that would bring returns.
 Taking an overcoat and pair of gloves from an automobile, Scoffain proceeded down the street chancing to pass the owner of the appropriated goods Ezra Fike, of Glendale, who turned him over to the authorities.
 Justice Wheeler will pass sentence on Scoffain at 10 o'clock Saturday morning.

May Give Language to World.

Our language has been modified by
the multiplicity of tongues of those
who have come to our shores, and to
this extent we have been automatical-
ly developing the speech which has in
1t the elements of universally. There
never has been and there may never
be a speech suited to all the races but
America. with over a hundred millions
of people speaking the one tongue and
with great commercial future before
it, may carry that tongue to the ends
of the earth. AS the land of adoption
of so many millions of Europe. it's dis
tinctive speech may present less objec-
tons to the peoples of Europe than
that of England. Much will depend
upon how distinctive it becomes and
how well it serves the purposes of d.
prect expression.

.PULLETS BEST LAYERS
Egg Production Depends Largely
on Method of Feeding.
Where Forcing System Is Employed
Hens Are Kept Confined in Small
Yard and Given Only Egg
Producing Ration.

The age at which hen is most prof
largely on the method of feeding and
the purpose for which the bird is kept.
in the opinion of n. l.. Harris, super
lntendent of the poultry farm at the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
If the object is heavy egg prOduc-
ton, without expectation of using the
bird for a future breeder, the forcing
method is adopted. BY this method
the hens are kept in a small yard or
house, and are given Il ration which is
high in reproducing elements. BY
this method the reproductive system is
worked to it's highest capacity. 1t is
seldom that bird will be able to
stand up under such feeding cOndi-
tons for more than one season. This
system of forcing is followed by large
commercial egg plants, the object be-
ing to get the greatest possible income
from the hens in the shortest time.
The forcing habit has given rise TO
the statement that the pellet year is
the most profitable of the life Of the
hen. As the great majority of hens
are kept on the general farms, where
the production of eggs is merely side
line, forced feeding is not practical,
the general plan being TO allow the
hens free range, and feeding them so
as to produce only the normal amount
Of eggs. Cared for in this way, hens
of the small egg breeds will produce
nearly, but not quite, as many eggs
the second season as the first. Those
breeds which have a tendency to put
on fat readily usually become unprOf-
liable the second year.
Hens that are to be kept as breed
ers should never be given highly CON
centrated feeds. If this should be the
case the hens will not be in q good
physical condition to produce the best
Of chicks.

POWDER TO DESTROY VERMIN
Maine Experiment Station Recon-
mends Mixture of Gasoline and
Carbolic Acid.

A good and cheap louise powder
can be made at home at a cost of but
a few cents per pound. Here is one
used and recommended by the Maine
experiment station: Take three parts
of gasoline and one part of crude car
bolic acid, using the 90.95 per cent
carbolic acid. A weaker acid is inef-
fective, warns the station experts. If
that canOt be obtained at q reasonable
price, creOsOl gives as good results as
the highest grade carbOlic acid, and
may be substituted for it, using one
part creOSOl to three parts gasoline.
Mix these together and add gradual
ly enough plaster of paris TO take up
all the liquid, stirring constantly. This
will take about four quarts of plaster
of paris to one quart of the liquid
mined by the condition of the pow
der. When enough plaster has been
added, the resulting mixture should be
dry, pinkish-brown powder having
a fairly strong carbOlic acid or creosol
odor, and less pronounced gasoline
ador. Work the powder into all the
feathers. After Il minute or two, hold
the bird over a paper and loosen and
shake the feathers. The lice that drop
out, dead and dying, will convince you
of the value of the powder as a louise

COOP TO BREAK BROODY HENS
Persistent Sitter in Very Short
Space of Time.

BroOdy hens not desired for set
ting purposes can be broken up with
very little trouble if placed in the
brOOdy coop as soon as noticed. The
longer this is put off the more per-
sistent the sitter becomes in her de-
termination to sit, and the quicker she
is put in her. Jail the sooner she will
start to lay. The yolks of the eggs
begin to absorb with continued sit
ting, and every day she sits prolongs
the day of the laying of the first egg.
\ small coop, made with Slated
bottom so that the air can pass up
underneath the fowl and so that she
will be uncomfortable and move about,
is the best apparatus one can use in
making her forget it."

RlCH BROCADES ARE POPULAR
Chinese, Egyptian and Japanese En-
broiderles Used on Evening SILK
and Satin Materials.

OrY.ntal-ChineSe, Egyptian and
Japa1ese-cmbroider have been
used by the French style creators this
season as design motifs on the lovely
evening silk and satin materials.
These materials, with their inter-
woven brocaded patterns. are often re-
Embroidered with striking large motifs
of gold or silver. Such combinations
seem to be about as elaborate and ele-
CANT as materials possibly can be.
They are reminders of the luxurious
brocades one sees in the antique gowns
that have been preserved in museums.
When these elaborate silk. satin and
velvet fabrics came in style the first
of the season the evening gowns
looked much too heavy. This mistake
was soon corrected. 4 quantity Of
tulle or lace was used with such
dresses-long-arm scarfs, underSkirts
of lace fiouncings, tulle-shoulder scarfs
and often an over drapery TO take
away the heavy look. While such
