QUIZ VANDERBILT DEAL
PRESIDENT DIRECTS INvEsTlGA-,
TIoN INTO SHIPPING PROJECT.
Government to Determine If There
Has Been Any Misuse of
Funds.

Washington, Feb. 16.-President Viii
son on Tuesday directed Attorney
General Gregory to investigate the
much-discussed Hog Island shipyard
contracts, which have been adversely
CRITICIZED before the senate commerce
committee, and determine If there has
been any criminal misuse of govern
ment funds.
The president also directed the at
tOrney general to work in conjunction
with Chairman Hurley of the shipping
board in his investigation. About
100000 of government money has
been involved in the Hog Island pro-
ject, inwhich the American lnterna-
tional corporation, headed by Frank A.
Vanderlip, president of the National
City bank, has figured.
Chairman Hurley of the shipping
board has notified Assistant General
Manager Bowles of the Emergency
Fleet corporation that it may be neces-
sary to cancel the American 1nterna-
tional corporations contract for build
ing the government shipyard under
construction at Hog Island, Pa.
Testimony before the senate COM
merce committee, investigating the
whole subject of shipping contracts,
has developed statements that the gov
eminent will be obliged to spend be-
tween $40,OOO,OOO and $5O,OO0,O0O,
where government and civilian experts
estimated $21. 100000 would suffice.
This testimony developed charges by
Representative Lenroot (Rep.), Wis
consin, on the floor of the house that
through laxness in the letting OF con-
tracts the American international and
it's subsidiary were placed in position
to loot the treasury of millions OF dol
lars.

HENHousE WARM BUT AIRY.

Usually a poultry house can be kept
well ventilated without making IL. un-
comfortably cold for the hens except
in the very coolest weather. Birds can
stand quite low temperatures provided
their combs do not frost. Where there
is much hard freezing weather, the
most effective way that has been found
to keep the poultry house warm and
dry is to place dry straw or hay to the
depth of foot or more overhead on
a floor of boards laid swide apart as
may be and still hold the straw. Dry
straw usually will absorb all moisture,
and so, when it is used the poultry
keeper must Judge by the air in the
house how much ventilation is needed.
A breed that will not stand the tenn
perature when the ventilation is regu-
lated in this way is not suited to the
climate.

70-HEN EGG FACTORY
AS BACKYARD VENTURE.

The illustration above shows
an intensive backyard poultry
plant which is making a very i'm
pOrtant food contribution to
nation that needs more eggs and
poultry flesh. Practically the en-
tire backyard is occupied by
houses and covered runs and
about 20 hens are carried. Each
house is 6 by Ia feet and is divid-
ed into 2 pens with a covered
yard of the same size. There
are about 10 hens to a pen. The
houses are raised from the
ground so that the hens can run
under them and the soil in the
runs is renewed four times a
year. A flock Of 13 hens in one
of these pens laid 2,163 eggs in
year. Oats are sprouted for
green feed in the cellar of the
dwelling house of the owner.
Chicks, too, are raised in this
basement.
If you are thinking of starting
backyard poultry business,
write to the q. S. department of
agriculture for a copy of Farm
ers' Bulletin $50, Backyard
Poultry Keeping"
