NJ UST KEEP HENS
FOR CHEAP EGGS

The best opportunity for cheap eggs
for city families durin, the war, says
recent publication OF the United
States Department of Agriculture,
lies. in keeping enough hens in the
back yard, where they can be sup
ported principally on kitchen wastes,
to supply the family table. The keep
ing of hens in back yards is described
as being an economic opportunity for
city families and at the same time an
essential part of the campaign for in
creasing poultry production.
The smallest and least favorably
situated backyard, says the depart
iment, offers opportunity to keep at
least enough hens to supply eggs for
the household. The number of hens
needed for that purpose is twice the
number of persons to be supplied.
Hence, the smallest flock to be con-
sidered consists of four hens. Where
hens are kept only to furnish eggs
for the table no male bird is needed.
A coop for flock of four hens
should have floor area of about 20
square feet or about S feet per hen.

PERSHING'S CHIEF OF STAFF
Maj. Gen. McAndrew Succeeds Brig.
Gen. HarbOrd

With The American Army in
France.-Major Gen. James Mean
drew has been appointed chief of staff
of the American expeditionary forces,
assuming his duties Immediately.
Brig. Gen: James G.. Harbourd, who
who has been Gen. Pershing's chief
of staff, has been assigned to a COM
mand in the field, which he will take
over this week
These changes are explained as be-
ing in conformity with Gen. Perish
ing's policy of making shifts among
the officers of the general staff. In
this process some are being sent to
the field and replaced with others who
have been on the front and by reason
of recent personal experiences are bet
ter able to grapplc with field prob
lens. This policy also serves to give
the general staff officers an oppor-
tunity to serve with the troops. All
of this is calculated to inject addi-
tlonal energy into the activities Of the
American cxpeditionary forces.

BUELLOW MAY BE CHANCELLOI

Zurich.-The Muenchener Neucstc
Nachrichten learns from a diplomatic
source in Vienna that Prince Won Bue-
low may be appointed German i'm
perial chancellor soon.
Chancellor Count Won Hertling's
position has been persistently report
ed precarious and Prince Won Buelow
was mentioned a few days ago as his
most likely successor. The Zurich re .
port synchronizes with dispatches
from Amsterdam saying Hcrtling had
resolved to stand or fall with the
Prussian electoral reform issue which
is in it's final parliamentary phases.
In case of unfavorable action, Count
Won Hertling threatened to resign.
The common understanding both in
Germany and abroad has long been
that Prince Won Buelow was being
saved" by the kaiser for the peace
negotiations. The report that he is
about to be made chancellor may bear
significance in connection with strong
reports that Germany proposes short
~ to launch great peace offensive,
her efforts to break through in the
west having failed.

WHITE SOX WIN
 FROM THE COLTS
 BY $ ID 5 SCORE

Winning with a score of to ,, the White SoX were victors over the Colts in the highly exciting and interesting game played at Easriake park yester- day afternoon. This was the third game of the series being played by the two teams, of which the White Sox have won two.
 In the first inning Wilily. while running to first, collided with the um- pire, Price. and both sprawled over the lot. After a few minutes, Price was sufficiently recovered to resume his official position. In the fourth inning Brophy made a spectacular catch after a good run. He ripped over bump which lies in left field and, while fall ing, caught Robinson's fly. which would have been good for three bases. Warren made very brilliant play in the fourth inning on leaguer over second base. He spr:nted back and made q pretty catch, rooping Bryant of good hit and the Colts of run.
 The Colts rallied in the ninth, mak- ing three runs and tying tife score. but the SoX came to the rescue and saved the day by making 8 winning run.
 Westfall won Shorty CIay's prize of a shave for the first three bagger. Warren won the two tickets to the Hip for the most brilliant p,ay. The hat offered by Hyder and the bat by Ber- ryhilrs for the first home run are still up.
 Next Sunday the Sox will meet the Glendale team on the local field.

PRETTY, GRAY SUIT.
 ATTRACTED THIEF

Just what burglar could expect to do with a mail carriers uniform is q question puzzling members Of the DO lice department. He could hardly be planning to go into business for him self in opposition to Uncle Sam, and he certainly couldn't expect to either wear the suit himself or find ready sale for it. The only solution seems to be that the burglar who entered the homo of Benjamin Rothman at 12S4 East Polk street sometime Saturday afternoon is color blind or hasn't much dealings with the mail service.
 According to the report made by Rothman to the police, an unidentified burglar effected entrance to his home on Saturday afternoon. The screen Of the front door was found to have been cut, Besides departing with his brothers carrier uniform, the burglar also possessed himself of some valu- able papers, some Thrift stamps, silk shirts and several pairs of socks. There is no clue to the thief.
