The disease is not communicable to
man or otherwise it would be danger
Gus, but the main loss is financial.
Tuberculosis in chickens is caused
by a germ" said DR.. G.. S. Weaver
extension specialist in animal dis
eases at State college, These germs
are scattered by tn dropping. Here is
a real chance for tuberculosis to be
inherited as the eggs frequently con-
tain the germs.
The most prominent symptom is
commonly called "going light" The
birds gets so thin that nothing is left
but skin and bones. Diarrhea may
be common.
The best way to treat an affected
fowl is to chop off his or her head.
In some cases it may be well to kill
the entire flock and take a new start.
Don't feed the dead hens to the hogs
but burn them to ashes. Clean out
the hen house and thoroughly disin-
feet it. Spread lime around the pens
and whitewash the house inside and
out. No cure exists. therefore don't
buy socalled cures"

WATERS CONTINUE
TO CAST UP PH|ALS
BOYS ON BEACHES ENJOING A
BELATED FOURTH OF JULY
CELEBRATION.

New York, Aug. 20.-The mysteri-
GUS yellow phials containing a white
substance identified as calcium hy-
drochlorine used to purify water,
which have been appearing in the
surf for two weeks, continued today
to be cast upon the beaches near
here.
Boys are enjoying a belated Fourth
of July, combined with a miniature
trench warfare. Bombing raids"
are popular, because the phials ex-
plode when thrown down. The dis
tinguishable smell of chlorine gas re-
leased when the bombs" are broken
add the thrill of gas attack.
A chemical analysis of the contents
of phial today by an army officer
here confirmed previous analyses.
The officer said there was evidence
of decomposition which caused the
explosion. He urged the vials be de-
stroyed, as they were not exactly safe
playthings.
The source of the phials is still a
mystery. Officers of the army post
or emDar Ration said there had been
no shipment of chemicals to Europe
since the war. Neither is there anv
record Of a shipment being on any
ship sunk by submarines or mines
although it was admitted this was
possible.
Examination of the charts of the
photographic office indicate that
there is an ocean current which
sweeps southward along the coast
from the gulf of st. Lawrence. This
gave rise to the theory that some ship
laden with medical supplies sunk by
the U-53 off the Newfoundland banks
might be giving up it's cargo.
Another theor was that some con-
demned army supplies had been
dumped at sea to get rid of them.

PROMISES HELP
TO THE POLES
COLBY SPEAKS TO PARTY OF
AMERICAN SYMPATHIZERS.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 20.-A
declaration that the American gov
ernment would support Polish inde-
pendence "to the full extent of the
constitutional power confided in the
executive" was made today by Sec
retary Colby. Speaking to a delega-
tion of American citizens of Polish
extraction who called to present me-
MORALS adopted at mass meetings,
Mr.. Colby said "every measure that
can legally be taken will be adopted
to render effectual the position of
this country"
He declared, however, that the
question of material aid on any broad
scale was a political one.
I'VE cannot go to the relief even
of Poland" he said, provided the
view prevails that we have no con-
Germ with anything beyond our ma
tional borders. The question, you
see, in it's largest and true aspect is
a political question. / call
your attention to the fact that the at
titude of this government can only
be the attitude of it's people; and
you, as American citizens, have the
power to determine the trend and the
weight of public opinion"
Mr.. Colby said there were those
who opposed any Intervention that
calls on us for active effort" and
who had ''flouted and rejected the
enlightened machinery devised in
conjunction with the treaty of Yer
sailles to cope with such coalitions as
now unhappily exist" He also said
there were those in this country who
''are surveying conditions that now
exist in central Europe with salts
faction that they make no attempt to
conceal"
While the executive arm of the
government has "some measure ol
initiative and of action" he contin-
ued, "you must look to the true
sources of power in this country"
''In the final analysis" he declar.
ed, 'it is public opinion. In the less
remote view it is your elected mem
bers of congress. In a very impor
tant sense, it is the political part.
with which you may be affiliated"
The secretary told the delegation
that "the appropriations which relie
measures imply and without whicl
| action on an adequate scale is i'm
possible must be made by congress.
Mr.. Colby said many steps for Pol
ish relief had been taken, which i
| was unnecessary and inadvisable'
! for him to discuss, but he added tha
his hearers as American citizens ''hat

SCHOLARSHIPS GO BEGGING.
Mr.. Swearingen States That Few
Students are Applying.

ships in state educational institutions
are going begging, according to J. E.
Swearingen, state superintendent OF
education, who has made an appeal
to the county and town educational
authorities Of the state for aid in en-
listing the interest of the young peo-
pie Of the state in scholarships. Mr..
SWearingen, in his letter, deplOres
the fact that there are so few appli-
cants for the state scholarships.
There are 956 scholarships in four
state colleges open for the boys and
girls who graduate from high schools
of South Carolina Forty of these
are in the University; 6S are citadel
scholarships, 124 are at Winthrop,
and a like number at Clemson. Very
few young people contested for these
this year.
Mr.. Swearingen has written to
each county superintendent of edu-
cation, to the school superintendent
in each county seat, and to each news
paper in the state, asking that every
possible effort be put forth to inter
est the young people in the scholar
ships. In pleading for interest in
this aid to education, Mr.. Swearingen
points out that the scholarship stu
dents are usually the young people
of highest standing in their schools
and communities. He says it is a
high honor to be awarded one of the
state scholarships

st. Louis, Oct. 30.-Joseph Alex
ander, reputed wealthy ranchman
and farm owner Of Fort Smith, Ark,
and Mrs. Margaret Taber, of this city,
wife of Alexander's ranch superln-
tendent, today related to the ponce
how they had been kidnapped IN an
attempt to collect $4,000 from the
ranchman.
Alexander, according to adVices, is
known as the potato king ID Fort

county court house early today, bare
looted and sparsely clad and descrlb-
ed to officers now he mad been bound,
gagged and beaten by MS captors.
Mrs. Tabor told a similar story.
Alexander came TO st. Louis last

WOMEN DON'T PAY.
Attorney General Rules Females Are
Not REQUIRED to Pay Poll Tax.

Columbia, Oct. 31.-South Carroll
ma women are in no way liable to poll
tax this year, according to an opinion
by S. M. Wolfe, attorney general, ex-
pressed in a letter to Mrs. Eulalle
salley, of Aiken, yesterday. Mrs
Salley asked Mr.. Wolfe for his opin-
ion on the matter and his reply is
conclusive that the state law does not
require women to pay poll tax. Mrs
Salley. who is chairman of the Polit-
ical Information League of Women
Voters, is anxious to ascertain the
status of women along this line, and
wired the attorney general. His re-
ply follows:
Replying to your telegram of to-
davrelative to the liability of women
voters to poll tax in this state, 1 ad-
wise that section 2S6, article 1, chap
ter IA, volume L, code of laws OF
1912, is as follows: -
"'There shall be assessed on all
taxable polls in this state an annual
tax of one dollar on each poll, the
proceeds of which tax shall be ap-
piled solely to educational purposes.
All males between the ages of 21
and SO years, except those incapable
of earning support from being
manned, Or from other causes, shall
be deemed taxable polls
I'm view of the foregoing 1 take
the position that women are in no
event liable to poll tax.
