ESTIMATE FOR
STREET PAVING
COMPLETE SPECIFICATIONS AND
COST ESTIMATES FOR STREET
PAVING READY FOR
CONSIDERATION.
Plans For Improving Streets viii
Get Under Way in Next Few
Days-Elevcn Blocks i'm
Business District.

Cost estimates and specifications
for paving the streets of the busi-
ness district OF Columbus have been
completed and are now ready for
consideration
The estimates and plans call for
the paving of eleven blocks in the
business district as follows: Main
street from Third to the city hall;
Market street from the court house
to the postoffice; College street from
st. Paul's Episcopal church to the
Columbus Auto Co.. Sixth street
from College to Main and Fourth
street from College TO Main.
Liberal estimates have been made
and the cost of paving the streets
outlined above is surprisingly low,
and the construction work can be
done cheaper in Columbus than in
any other city, it is believed on ac-
count of the availability of ma
terial, and low cost of hauling.
1t is probable that the matter
will come before the city council at
the May meeting, and some definite
action will be taken at that time, II
is believed.
Only plans for permanent paving
of the streets will be considered and
when the proposed work is com
pleted Columbus will have streets
than which no other city in the
country will have better.
The method or kind of paving,
whether concrete, wood block, brick
or asphalt will not be decided until
bids have been received on all
grades and kinds of paving, and the
cost and efficiency of each deter
mined.
There is a strong sentiment in
Columbus for permanent paving of
the streets and the movement will
meet with instant and cordial ap.
proval on the part of the peoo'n

PRESIDENT FACES
SUPREME TEST
WILL BE SHOW DOWN OF
HIS POWER At PARIS
THIS WEEK.
Foreign Press Turning Against Viii
son-HaVing Trouble in Hold
ing Allies To Four
teen Points.

WASHINGTON. April % Pres
ldent Wilson this week faces the su-
preme test of his power at the peace
conference, according TO friends, Of
lcials and diplomats here.
With the Allied-German peace
meeting only a few days off, the
Paris conference is in serious elev-
enth hour difficulties, for which the
Presidents Fiume statement is held
responsible in some quarters.
Although private dispatches TO
the White House today declared
the situation is clearing rapidly,
diplomatic quarters and other Of
fetal quarters reflected distinct
gravity at the general outlook.
With Japan's claims in China
looming ominously in the back
ground and the clamor of the Ital-
ians, British and French press be-
coming increasingly anti-Wilson, il
is known that the President is en-
countering unexpected difficulties
in holding the allies to his fourteen
points.
While il has been stated that
Premiers I.loyd-George and Clemen-
ceau have tacitly supported the
President in his stand toward Italy,
diplomats here today pointed to the
fact that there has been no official
statement from ether the British or
French delegates confirming this.
\ Mental Struggle.
Italian diplomats il Washington
attribute the silence TO mental
struggle in the minds of their allies
between IA desire for the league of
nations and desire to abide by the
pact of London.
The effect of the press outbreak
in the allied countries during the
coming week is awaited here with
no little anxiety by administration
officials.
Both Lloyd-Georee and Clemen-
ceau have reversed themselves fre-
quently at Paris under the pressure
OF opinion at home. Both are now
witnessing a running fire OF oppo-
sition TO Wilson's statement In the
British and French newspapers. The
Italian press and pOpulace. ac-
cording to all reports Is registering
violent Temonstrance .at wilson's po-
sition toward Fiume.
Authorities here today pointed tu
the fact that the cry is largely
against Wilson personally so
much against America-and they
profess TO see in this the pos ibllits
Of organized propag ganda directed at
the President 10 weaken his i,e 'scn-
al position at the conference.

WASHINGTON, April 27.-The
revised covenant of the League of

ference in plenary session, was
made public tonight by the State De-

which are named 81 states, includ-
ing the self-goEerning British do

cede to the covenant. The original
members are all the nations which

the American republics of Argen-
tina, Chile, Colombia, Paraguay,
Salvador and Venezuela.
Mexico Not IL Member.
Mexico was not represented in the
conference of neutrals at Paris and

covenant, however, for the admis-
sion to the league of any fully self
governing country which will give
required guarantees. upon a two
thirds vote of the assembly, com
posed of representatives OF the mem

AS in the original document, the
covenant provides that the league
shall act through an assembly, in
which each state shall have one
vote and not more than three votes,
and a council comprising for the
present one representative of each
of the five great powers and each
of four other powers to be selected
from time to time by the assembly.
Members of each class represented
on the council may be increased by
unanimous consent of the council
and a majority of the assembly.

Have Learned In Last Two
Years About Culling Flocks

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
Wallis, Sept. 10.-Poultrymen have
learned more in the last two years
about culling nonproductive poultry
than in the previous so pears, in the
opinion Of James Dryden, professor
of poultry husbandry at the college.
If the nonlayers are culled out the
cost of producing eggs falls mater
tally. Now is a good time to Gull.
The following are conditions which
indicate noproductiveness: Shrivled
condition Of the comb, wattles, and
ear lobes; closeness of pelvic bones,
and keel bone, contracted or harden
ed condition of the abdomen; yellow
shanks and beak in breeds that nat
urally have yellow shanks and beak
such as the leghorns and Plymouth
rocks; molting of feathers.
The best breeding hens may be
selected by noting from October 10
to November Is the following char
acteristics:
Incomplete molt, red comb and
wattles, and bright eyes; Widespread
pelvic bones, good depth from pelvic
bones to keel bone and soft abdomen; !;
pale shanks and beak and vent among
breeds that have naturally yellow
skin and shanks.

U. s. S. Great Northern
Makes Record for Trip

The U. S. S. Great Northern, form
erly on the Pacific Coast run be-
tween San Francisco and Portland.
Captain Stafford H. R, Doyle, U. S.N,
made the round trip from New York
to Brest, France, in twelve days, one
hour and thirty-five minutes. This
is the best on record for the round
trip between these ports. The ship
made this record on her seventeenth
trip.
The voyage commenced at 5:37 p.
m. on June "a, when the ship passed
Ambrose lightship. At 500 a. m.
on June 80 the Great Northern met
the Presidents ship, George Wash
ington, and mail for the President
was delivered to the destroyer Tar
bell for further delivery to the Presi-
dent. The Great Northern arrived at
Brest at 9.21 p. m. June 80. Troops
and cargo were alongside, having
been arranged for by radio.
/ All the troops, passengers ana car
20 we're taken aboard in FIVE hours
and ten minutes and the ship was
again under way for New York at
1874 a. m. on July l. The Great
Northern arrived of Ambrose light
ship at 1872 p. M, completing her
remarkable record.
The George Washington had over
thirty-six- hour start on the Great
Northern from Brest and the Great
Northern arrived in New York just
about thirty-six hours ahead OF the
George Washington. The Great
Northern held the previous record
of a round trip In thirteen days and
forty-three minutes. During the wal
she stood number one in the trans
port service, having landed more
troops per 1000 tons than any othel
ship in the service. The Great North

HOW CAN YOU TELL Y0U8
FAv0RITE TOBACCO?
As Plain as the Nose on Your
Face-Just Smell II

Smokers do not have to put tobacco
in their pipes to find out if they like it.
They can just rub the tobacco between
the palms OF their hands and smell it.
The nose is an infallible guide to smok-
ing enjoyment.
All smoking tobaccos employ some
flavoring ito improve the favour and
burning qualities of the leaves, to
quote the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Naturally, there is considerable differ
ence in the kind of flavorings used, and
the nose quickly detects this difference.
TUXEDO Tobacco uses the purest,
most wholesome, and delicious of all
flavorings-chocolate. And the almost
universal liking for chocolate in great
measure explains the widespread popu-
larity of TUXEDO Tobacco.
Carefully aged, old Burley tobacco,
plus dash of pure chocolate, gives
TUXEDO Tobacco a pure fragrance
your nose can quickly distinguish from
any other tobacco. Try it and see.
