HatehIne Chickens by EIeetriclt,

There Is always a certain element
of risk in Matching chickens in an in
cubator, for unless the incubator is
watched very carefully the tempera-
ture may get too low and the eggs
spoil.
Electricity may be depended upon
more than any other form of heat. A
new incubator has been perfected
which is heated by electricity. The
Incubator may be attached to any
electric light socket. The dIstribu-
don Of heat in the egg chamber is al
ways very even and there is a well
come absence of gases and fumes.
The electric incubator is provided
with glass globe so the chicken fan
cter may see just what is going on in
side the incubator The heat is given
by an electric light which is so -egu-
lated that it gives the required heat
intermittently. The thermometer is
provided.

An unusual method of building
houses was adopted in a real estate
development in Portland, Ore. The
builder believed that Familiarity
breeds contempt" AS he did not want
anyone to have contempt for his
houses he corralled them until they
were all done. AS soon as he began
building he erected a tall board fence
all around the property. The most GU
rious person could not get a peep in.
No doubt he saw to it that there were
no knot holes.
This arrangement had all the ele-
ments of surprise which the public en-
joys in attending the theater. Not un-
til the houses were completed to
the last little detail, not until the lawns
were green and the shrubs all planted
was the order given to tear down the
fences.

OINED ON MIDWINTER MENU
One Lemon Made IS Glasses Of Lem
onade at a Luncheon Given at
Los Angeles.

Fifteen glasses Of lemonade from a
single lemon were feature of the
Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce
midwinter flower, fruit and vegetable
luncheon. When the menu was being
prepared the suggestion was made that
lemons should be obtained, as they
grew in the open in January.
Instead OF lemons 1t was found only
one fruit was needed, this being a part
of the display in Los Angeles county
case in the chamber exhibit hall, where
are shown twenty fruits and vegetables
r1pening at this season of the year.
The huge lemon was POnderosa
Weighing two and One-fOurth pounds.
1t was grown by Il. E. Morris of Glen
dora and was part of the fresh fruit
and vegetable feast served to direc-
tors of the chamber to demonstrate
the gastronomic joys of southern Cali
fornia in mid-winter.
The Pomona chamber of commerce
sent in oranges and grapefruit as it's
contribution. Strawberries, green
onions, lettuce, grapefruit, celery, ar
tichokes, kumquats and dozen other
products of Lon Angeles county in Jan
uary were on the menu.

ing seaplane, equipped with liberty
motors, has been tried out and &C.
cepted, it was learned, and several of
the craft are being delivered for the
use Of the naval air service. They
are the advance guard of a big fleet
which will be added to the forces en-
gagged in submarine hunting in the
war zone. A second type of fighting
plane for the American army, known
as the Bristol model, also has reached
the production stage, and a considera.
BILE number will become available in
the present month. Still another type,
a two-seated machine, also is being
manufactured.
Construction details of these planes
never have been published. 1t is
known, however, that the seaplanes
substantially are similar to the Brit
ish flying boats and are equipped with
two liberty motors, which provide ap.
proximately 700 horse power to drive
the ship. This is understood to be
much in excess Of the power used in
similar British craft, and their per.
formance is expected 20 be better pro.
portionately. In this connection it
was learned that engineers of the Air.

minor defect Of the liberty motors

from the quantity production supply
have been operated continuously for
many hours without developing any
trouble.
Officials in close touch with pro-
gress being made on production of
fighting planes in this country are
satisfied that the output will tax ship.

1t is anticipated that large number

here recently to expedite the delivery
of motors for British use.

COMMITTEES TO MEET
With WAR COUNCIL
SENATE BODY MEETS WITH WAR
COUNCIL TO GET MILITARY
NEWS WITHOUT DELAY.
Action Meets Insistent Demand of So
Ions to Be Granted Greater Share
In Conflict - Administration and
Congress Cooperate.

Washington.-The Administration
formally embarked on policy o. TAX
ing Congress completely into it's con-
tidence as to the progress of war
preparations and developments on the
fighting front in Europe. At the invi-
tation of Acting Secretary CrowelI
members of the Senate Military Com.
mittee were in session at the War De-
partment for nearly two hours with
the full membership of the War CoItn-
Gil, and beginning next week will meet
with that body every Saturday morn
ing. Members of the house commit
tee will meet with the council, and 3
similar arrangement for weekly meet
ings will be made with that commit
tee. Probably large room will be-
obtained later, so that the committee
of both Houses may be received In
joint session. Thus the War Depart
ment meets the insistent demand Of
Congress for a greater share in the
conduct of the war, and removes the
real cause which led the Senate COM
mittee's prolonged investigation OF
the army with it's attendant bitter
criticism.
1t was pointed out that members
of Congress now would know first
hand about current developments, in
stead Of getting information months
late through the examination of wit
nesses, and could make their criti-
cisms at time when they would
count.
Movements for the creation of
joint congressional committee on the
conduct of the war have been sup
pressed by President Wilson's unal-
terable opposition to interference with
the powers and duties entrusted to
the Executive by the constitution.
Through the conferences now inau-
gurated, however, it is suggested that
the regular committees acting in full
harmony with the executive officials
will be able to accomplish all and
probably more toward keeping Con-
gress in touch with what is going on
than would have been possible under
the special committee plan.

WOULD STARVE NEUTRALS
Kaiser Now Directs His German kuI-
tur Against North Euro
pean Nations.

Washington.-Germany's latest cam
paign of ruthlessness against neutral
shipping is attributed by the War
Trade Board in a statement to a delib-
crate plan for cutting off the North
European nations from American and
allied food supplies and thereby re-
ducing them through starvation to po-
litical and economic dependence upon
the Teutonic war lords. While the
board makes no reference to the de-
termination Of the United States and
Great Britain, disclosed to take over
Dutch ships in American and allied
ports unless the Netherlands Govern
ment accepts a pending economic
agreement, it's statement throws in
teresting light upon the situation
which led to this decision.

SMOOTH confidence
men ARE ARRESTED
sWINDLE ON GIGANTIC SALE UN-
EARTHED BY YOUNGSTOWN
ARRESTS, TITS ALLEGED.
Prisoners Lived With clty's Exclusive
Set While They Entertained All
Victims LaVishIy-IIIinois Officials
Are Interested In the Case.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Youngstown, O.-With the arrest of
three men who live in the most exclu-
sive residence section, associated with
Youngstown's millionaire steel manu-
facturers and we're members of ex-
elusive clubs here, police believe they
have captured some of the smoothest
confidence men in the country, whose
operations were nationwide, and it is
claimed netted half a million dollars.
In most instances their victims were
bankers and men of means in the Mid
die West. 1t is said the names of
Charles SChwab and John d. Arch
bold were used to get the confidence
of the bankers. The men under arrest
here are ]. B. White, 80 years old,
Youngstown; Ed McCoombs, AZ, Bos-
ton, Mass, and W. T. Kelley, 45, Chi
cago, Ill. Other alleged members of
the gang are undor arrest in Chicago.
They are Joseph We'll, alias yellow
Kid" said to be the leader, and also
known as James r. Wilson. Whites
real name, it is said, is E. T. McNeelis,
alias E. l.. Harmon. McCoombs posed
as r. r. Redfield and also Judge Thos
Osborne.
The plan of the gang was to induce
their victims to invest under the belief
that they were securing stock in es-
tablished companies. To show their
popularity and to inspire confidence
in their victims the men used prom
inent local steelmakers with whom
they had an acquaintance. Local po.
lice kept the arrest secret at first,
working in conjunction with the Chi
cago authorities. The men were held
in Jail incommunicSdo, but Attorneys
Rollin Hahn and James G. Hartwell
demanded that affidavits be filed
against them. Police say they will
be arraigned on fugitive from justice
charges based on true bills returned
against them by the Chicago grand
jury
The Kokomo banker was induced to
come to Youngstown under the pre-
tense that the brokers" could secure !
for him large blocks Of stock of the |
Sheet Tube Co. at low |
prices. He was persuaded to go back |
to his home town and get $4,000 |
necessary to swing the deal, which he
did, and paid over here.

Near Harrisburg.

Philadelphia, Pa.-Between 10 and
20 persons were killed and more than
40 injured when a landslide knocked
from the track three sleeping cars on
Train No. 10 as it was passing through
a cut at Elizabethtown, west of Har-
risburg. The train was the Cincinnati,
Cleveland and Chicago express. The
powders struck the third, fourth ard
fifth cars of the train, sent two of
them across the track and overturned
the other. The wreck occurred in
sight Of the Masonic Home, which i'm.
mediately was turned into a hospital
to care for the wounded. Word was
flashed to Harrisburg and relief
train from that point arrived with
nurses and physicians Traffic on all
four tracks was blocked by the wreck.

LOSING MONEY ON HIDES
Omaha Packers Claim They Have Lost
Large Sums Of Money BY Recent
Steady Fall In Prices of Hides.

Omaha, Neb.-Omaha packers have
lost large sums through the recent
steady fall in the prices of hides, ac-
cording to R. C. Howe, general man
ager of the Omaha plant Of Armour
& Co. The total number of hides in
storage here aggregate many thou
sands, and the losses are said to aver
age around SIS on each hide. Branded
cowhides, which brought 28 cents and
30 cents a few months ago, now sell
at 16 to IS cents.

London.-All contracts with Norway
have been annulled by the German
Central Purchasing Co., according to
Bergen dispatch to the Tidens Tegn,
of Christiania, as quoted in an Ex-
change Telegraph dispatch from Co.
penhagen. The reason for this action,
the dispatch says, is that the Nor
wegian agreement with America pro-
vides for the expectation Of only $4,000
tons of fish yearly to Germany. The
action is in line with the policy of hos
tility toward the Scandinavian coun-
ties.

Mud Rains From Sky

Columbus.-Mud fell from the heav-
ems on Columbus and Franklin coun-
ty. This was asserted by local United
States Weather Forecaster w. H.
Alexander. In explaining the phe-
nomenon Mr.. Alexander attributed it
to the tornado which swept Northwest
ern Ohio. He said dust and dirt had
been carried high into the air by the
wind and had gone above the cloud
strata, where the force of gravity is
small and the wind was strong enough
to keep it in the air. Then it settled to
the cloud strata, then fell to the earth.

of a vote by delegates to the All-Rus

overwhelmingly in favor of ratifying
the peace treaty dictated by Germany
to the Russian delegates at Brest'

advices leaves the significance of the

pears probable that the vote of 459 to
80 recorded was cast by the members
of the majority, or Bolshevik party in
a caucus of the All-Russian Con.

SHOE PRICES HOLD TIGHT
There Is No Prospect Of Lower
Prices on Account of Cheaper
Raw Hides.

st. Louis, Mo.-The present drop in
the price of hides, it was stated at the
general Offices of large shoe manu-
featuring company, probably is due to
the winter destruction of stock and
there is NO evidence thus far that the
price decline will last long enough to
affect the price of shoes. A decrease
of 80 per cent in the value Of raw
hides, if long continued, would affect
the manufacturing cost of shoes about
five cents pair, it was stated.
