CANNED CHICKEN
DELICIOUS DISH
Cheaper and Easier to Can Sur
plus Fowls Than to Feed
Them Until Wanted.
EXCELLENT FOR EMERGENCIES
Two-Year-Ofd Hens Are Much more
Desirable Product Than Six-Month-
Old Chicken-Tests Made by
Experimental Kitchen.

A veritable friend in need to the
Dusy housewife is canned chicken. A
few Jars of it on the storerOom shelf,
which may be quickly converted into
a delicious dish when unexpected com
pany comes or when other emer-
gencies arise, give the housekeeper
a sense of preparedness. From an
economic point of view, canning the
surplus of the flock Is an excellent

TWO DIE IN ELECTRIC CHAIR
Alison q. Cole and Allen V. Grammer
Are Executed at Lin
coin, Neb.

Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 21.-The legal
fight to save the lives of Alison b. Cole
and Allen v. Grammer ended shortly
after three o'clock in the afternoon
when both men were put to death in
the electric chair. Grammer was the
first to pay the penalty, being pro-
nounced dead at 8 20 p. m.

practice, as it is cheaper to can the
birds than it is to feed them until they
are wanted for the table. Nor is it
necessary to have young chickens for
canning, for the older birds have SUI
periOr flavor and quite as good tex
ture as the younger ones. TwO-year

have IL ready for service and p build

three more be built for delivery by
1927. One more battle cruiser, 30
cruisers, Is submarines and four air
plane-carrying ships are asked, and
a oneyear program Of naval ailplane

One genuinely constructive accom-
plishment of the league assembly last
week was the establishment of an
international commission to be bank
err for European nations without cred
if or with very diminished credit.
The nations meant are Poland. Rou-
mania. Bulgaria, Jugo-Slavia, Czecho-
Slovakia, and possibly Turkey. Ma
tions desiring to take advantage or
the facilities offered will notify the
commission what assets, etc., they
wish to pledge with it-for instance
customs duties, railroads or monoI'-
olies. The commission will then set
fair value thereon for whatever peri"d
the assets are pledged and authorize
the government in question TO issue
cold bonds to that amount. Then II

To return to the League of Nations:
Several important things were ac-
complished last week by the assem-
bly,. First of these was the adoption
Of a statute for permanent interna-
tional court of justice. The plan now
goes to the member states for l'atifi-
cation. If it is approved by %, or a
majority, before the next meeting of
the assembly, the judges will be
chosen and the court will come into
existence in September, 1921 In the
debate on the project there was a
hot contest between Europe on one
side and Latin-AmeriCa on the other
over the question whether the juris-
diction of the court should be obliga-
tory or voluntary. Europe won out,
and the statute as adopted does not
make obligatory the appearance OF
both parties TO a dispute, and pro-
vides no penalty for noncompliance
with the courts decisions. The Euro
pean delegates defended the scheme
as the best beginning that can be
made, but the Latin-Americans were
very skeptical as to the value Of OPP
tional jurisdiction.
Austria, first of the former enemy
states to be admitted to the league,
was voted in Wednesday without OPP
position, four members refraining from
voting. Next day Bulgaria was admit
ted, France and Australia not voting.
The action on Austria brought on
lively passage between M0tta OF
Switzerland and Viyiani Of France
The former took occasion to say that
his country had always regretted the
rejection of Germanys application for
admission, whereupon Viviani leaped
to the tribune and in a fiery speech
defended the French position in OPP
posing Germany's admission. Most OF
the assembly was with him ard he
was enthusiastically applauded. Lux
emburg, Finland and Costa Rica also
were admitted to the league.
Spain, Brazil, Belgium and China
were chosen as the four elective mem
bers of the council. China takes the
place of Greece and her victory was
said to be due mainly to the personal
strength and popularity of Dr. Wei
lington KOo among the delegates
Armenia, together with Georgia and
the Baltic states, was refused adms-
sion to the league, but resolution
was adopted expressing the hope that
President Wilson's efforts would re-
suit in the saving of Armenia and the
establishment of a stable government
so that she could be taken into the
fold. Mr.. Wilson has named Henry
Morgenthau as his representative IN
the mediation, but just what he can
do is .puzzling many observers. Al
ready Armenia has yielded to the be-
hests of the Red Russians and es-
tablished a soviet government at Fri
van, and the Turkish nationallsts,
called off by Lenine, have signed a
peace treaty with the Armenians by
which the latter hand back to Turkey
most of her former territory in that
region. If this suits the majority of
the Armenians. what are the powers
going to do about it? And what is
Mr.. Morgenthau going to try to
mediate?

Dy# premier 1<lUyu 0eOISc, nOlhlhS
definite has yet come out of the efforts
to bring about a truce in the Irish
"war." In response to the request OF
Father O'Flanagan, acting head of the
Sim Fem, that he might be permitted
to confer with Arthur Griffith and
Eamonn De Valera regarding a set
Element, the premier said: 'The Irish
governmental authorities will afford
you the necessary facilities for see
ing Mr. Arthur Griffith; and, as re-
CARDS Mr.. De Valera, the ordinary
methods of communication with
America fully are open to you"
At about the same time 1t was re-
ported that De Valera was on his way
from America to Ireland, and in Lon
don it was understood tacit permission
for his return had been given by
Lloyd George. The dispatches said
he would be met at Liverpool and per-
mitted to go to London for a confer
ence or would be given safe conduct
to Ireland, as he preferred.
Meanwhile the rank and file on both
sides seem to be doing their best to
keep the contest going. The worst
happening of the week was the burn
ing of the city hall. library and other
buildings in the business center OF
Cork. Presumably this was done by
the auxiliary police in reprisal for the
ambushing of some of their members
though this was denied by the English
officials. The property damage was
immense and the affair caused such
an outcry that the government or
dered immediate investigation by the
military authorities and the punish
ment of the guilty. Another exasper-
ating incident was the killing OF
nriest at Durmanway while he was
irving TO save the life of young man
who also was slain. A uniformed
man accused of these murders was ar
rested. The Sim Feiners were not
idle. waylaying and assassinating
English officers IN various places.
Here in the United States the self
constituted committee on Ireland con-
tinued the hearing Of stories by irish
men and women, doing its part in
keeping alive the controversy under
the pretense of helping to bring peace.
Ten of our senators took it upon
themselves to send to Secretary OF
State Colby a protest against the re-
.fusal of the British embassy to wise
the passports of four emissaries OF
the commission Of inquiry. They
asked Mr.. Colby to call on the British
government for an explanations which
he probably will have sense enough
not to do.
