THERE IS NO BUSINESS which
figures so well on paper as rails
ing poultry, and yet there is no
business which causes so much pro-
family and despair.
Like running a newspaper. every
one thinks he can raise chickens.
The lean season Of poultry keeping
Is fast approaching. "Fryers" will
have been practically exhausted and
hens have stopped laying on account
of the mott. So there is nothing to
sell, and the same old feed to buy.
1t Is, of course, wise to dispose OF
hens whose egg record has not been
good. but 1t is our patriotic duty to
keep up the egg and poultry supply.
1t is significant fact that those who
know how, always raise poultry at
a profit, so it naturally follows that
the great majority do not know how,
or at least are too stingy to feed the
hens on a proper diet.
The average hen lays only about
sixty eggs per year. She should lay
at least 100 eggs. This increase can
be obtained with no increase of la
Dor. 1t comes as q reward of mental
effort.

DEATH ROLL AT SO,
INVESTIGATION ON
To Determine Blame for Accident on
B. r. T. Line in New York
Last Night.

NEW YORK, Nov with the
death toll at 98, rigid Investigations
were underway today by the public
service commission, District Attorney
Lewis of Kings county and Mayor Hy-
land to determine the blame for the
wreck last night of Brighton Beach
train of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Co in the Malbone street tunnel.
The train made up of five wooden
ears of the Oldest type in use,
which was speeding with a rush hour
crowd to make up lost time on its way
from Park Row to Coney Island,
jumped the track shortly before Z
o clock last evening on sharp curve
approaching the tunnel at Malbone
street, in Brooklyn, and plunged into
a concrete partition between the north
and southbound tracks.
Nearly every man, woman and child
in the first car were killed, and most
of those in the second car were killed
or badly injured. Rescue work in the
wreckage, jammed into the narrow tun-
mel, was extremely difficult, and the
counting of the dead proceeded slowly.
a few minutes before the accident
the motorman missed switch, accord
ing to passengers, went some distance
on a wrong track and then backed up
and switched again to the Brighton
| Beach line for Coney Island After
that the train moved at such high
speed as to brighten many passengers.
Some thought the motorman had lost
control of the train, and others sup
posed he was going at an unprecedent-
ed speed to make up for time he had
lost. A naval officer who was pas
senger said the train was making full
ly seventy miles an hour when it left
the track.
| The first car left the rails q few feet
in front of the opening of the tunnel
and rammed one end of a concrete par
tition separating the north bound from
the South-bound tracks. 1t was thrown
at right angles across the roadbed in
front of the entrance to the tunnel The
other ears cut right through it, the
second car smashing it to bits and the
whole train passing over the wreckage
and coming TO a stop 300 feet down
the tracks inside the tunnel

TO ALLOT NEWSPRINT.
Step May be Taken Dec. / to Protect
Small Papers.

WASHINGTON, Nov. &c Govern
mcnt control of the news print paper
industry by which paper will be dis
tributed to all newspapers in the coun-
try to protect the smaller newspapers
Is being considered by Chairman Ba-
rueh of the war industries board. Dee
! is the date the control would become
effective under the present plan.
A tentative plan has been worked
out by the pulp and paper section of
the board for Chairman Baruch 5 ap-
prevail. Operation of paper mills by
the government is not CONTEMPLATED
but the entire news print output Of
the country would be allotted accord
ing to each newspapers requirements,
thus assuring supply to the smaller
papers now said to have difficulty in
obtaining news print paper from the
mills
Chairman Baruch said that investi-
tion of the news print situation dis
closed that some action by the gov
eminent toward the equitable distribu-
ton of paper is necessary Some larger
newspapers, he said, have been able TO
purchase an ample supply, and in some
cases have more than their require.
ments, while similar ones face a serious
shortage which may cause suspension
of publication.
1t is considered probable that the
new plan, if accepted, will supersede
the present restriction of the use of
news print, which reduced the news
space in daily newspapers Is per cent
and Sunday editions 90 per cent
Mr.. Baruch minated that he would
be in favor of alloting each newspaper
so much paper. to be used in any way
the publisher desired.
