and the immediate family OF any mem
ber of the legislature during sessions
of the legislature.
The proposed amendment to Sec. 20,
of Article V of the Constitution is as
follows:
"Section %. The legislature shall
have power to enact laws relative to
the hours and conditions under which
men, women, and children may be en-
ployed."
This proposed amendment, if adopt
ed, will empower the legislature to en-
act laws relative to the hours and con-
ditions under which men may be en-
ployed.
The proposed amendment to Article
XIII of the Constitution is as follows:
"Section s. Subject to this Constitu-
ton the Legislature may authorize mu-
inequalities, subject to reasonable limi-
tations, to condemn and to take the fee
to more land and property than is
needed in the acquiring, opening and
widening of parks, boufevards, public
place, sstreets, alleys or for any public
use, and after so much of the land and
property has been appropriated for
any such needed public purpose, the
remainder may be sold or leased with
or without such restrictions as may be
appropriate to the Improvement made.
Bonds may be issued to supply the
funds to pay in whole or in part for the
excess property so appropriated, but
such bonds shall be lien only on the
property SO acquired and they shall
not be included in any limitation of the
bonded indebtedness of such munich
pality."
This proposed amendment, if adopt

thorize municipalities to condemn more
land than is necessary for parks, boul-
evards, ETC., and TO issue bonds there
for.

That in districts where the grades do
not reach the eighth, then all persons
herein described in such district shall
complete the course taught therein"
"Section II. The legislature shall
enact all necessary legislation to rem
der section sixteen effective"
The effect of this proposed amend
ment, if adopted, will be to compel all
residents of the State of Michigan be-
tween the ages of five years and six
teen years to attend the public schools
until they have graduated from the
eighth grade, and to require the legis-

WHAT SYSTEM OF HOUSING
MY BIRDS SHALL USE?

In the manner of housing fowls
there are two systems widely different
in their extremes. At one extreme is
the colony plan, which consists in
placing small houses for small flockS
far enough apart to obviatc the ncces-
sity of fences, thus giving free range
with but little mingling of the diff
fcrent flocks. At the other extreme
we have the continuous house. This
kind of house consists of series of
separate pens, under one roof, open
ing directly into a hallway in the
rear, or having doors between the
pens without the hallway, or open
ing into a hallway and also into one
another. There are several plans and
arrangements between these two cx-
tremcs which may be built to suit
varying conditions.
The advantages Of the colony plan,
according to poultry specialists in the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, are, first, small hocks on free
arngc; second, no expense for fcnc-
ing; third, there is less need for
scrupulous attention to cleanliness and

come abundant, but when thew do
they attract attention moro py their
annoying presence than by their ac-
tual damage. They do not attack man
as do the true lice and are therefore
harmless to the occupants of home.
Unless they are present in annoying
numbers it is probably not worth
while to worry about the pest, for
many exist out of doors and can get
in through cracks and through the
mesh Of ordinary screens. With the
coming of cold weather or in late fall
or winter book lice die off, but many
leave eggs that will hatch the follow
ing spring.
When book live become unusually
abundant the Bureau of Entomology
of the United States Department. of
Agriculture, in Farmers Bulletin 1104
recommends several methods of con,
troll. Where only few arc present a

Of the room is all that is needed, pro-
vidcd the source of infestation in with
in the room itself and has been de-
stroyed. A bright day should be
chosen for the work and as many as
possible of the objects in the room
should be removed and thoroughly
summed. If the room is heated to a
temperature Of 12O to 14O for several
hours the insects will succumb.
Where rooms arc located on the
ground floor in loosely constructed
bulldogs, in shaded and damp situa-
tlonS, as in many summer cottages, so
many psocids come from the outside

BOOK LICE THRIVE IN DAMP,
DARK, UNOCCUPIED ROOMS

The tiny white or grayishwhite in
sects, scarcely as long as a pinhcad is
wide and often much smaller, that
scurry across the pages of an old
musty book When it Is opened are
known to the layman as book lice; to
the entonologist as psocids.
They appear in greatest number dur
ing late summer and early fall and are
more abundant in damp, wcll-shaded
rooms not in general use and in houses
long closed. Few are found in bright,
sunny rooms in constant ise.
Book lice run in a halting fashion
over everything in the house. They
feed on all sorts of, vegetable and ami
NAL matter. 1t is not often they be-

providing regular supplies of animal
and vegetable feed during summer
months. This plan, however, has the
following disadvantages; First, extra
cost of labor in caring for fowls in
stormy weather, when it will often be
difficult to get around to feed and care
for the fowls regularly; second,
houses built on the colony plan, if
built as well, cost more than a con-
tinuous house of the same CAPACITY.
tor partitions, which may be con
structcd largely Of wire netting, are
much cheaper than two end walls;
third, the colony plan allows only
about 100 birds to the acre, while the
contlnuous-house system, with suit
able yards, allows $50 to 500 birds to
the acre.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE. ORGANIZED IN
NEW YORK.

New York, Jan. S.-Impetus is be-
ing added to the increasingly impor
tant commercial relations between
the United States and the Philippine
Islands through the medium of "The
Philippine American Chamber of
Commerce." which was recently or
ganized and to the membership of
which new names are being added
daily.
The stated object of the new or
ganization is: Sc.
"First-To foster trade, business,
financial and professional interests
between the Philippine Islands and
the United States.
"Second[To establish common
ground where business and profess
sional men of the two countries may
meet and discuss problems of mutual
concern"
The growth of trade between the
United States and Philippines in the
last few years has been enormous
American investors are beginning to
discover that there are almost unbe-
lievable opportunities for invest
ment in the PHILIPPINES. especially
in the following industries: Cocoa

America comes in on conditions
which will not be applicable 10 all the
others it would be most difficult to
have men sitting around the same
board under different conditions, with
one nation being untrammeled and
the others having theil hands tied
behind their backs"
In view of the fact that it was
only the idea of league which orig
inally came from President Wilson
and that the terms were drawn up
by Ger oral SHUTS, an Englishman,
in such form that the United States
would be. compelled to uphold the
boundaries of the British Empire in
perpetuity, the attempt to throw the
onus on America is not taken with
good grace in Washington.
The London Morning Post scored
the Premier for trying to throw the
blame in the American nation" and
called the speech "a confession Of
failure" 1t depends the Senate's ac-
ton on the League of Nations and
says Mr. Lloyd George put his money
on the wrong horse when he sup
ported President. Wilson's disastrous
blunders."
Meanwhile Henry Wise Wood, in
a letter to the foIty-three members
of the New York delegation in the
House of Representatives moves the
impeachment of President Wilson on
the ground that he has endeavored
to thwart, contravene, fur strate and
defeat the Constitution" AS the form
er president of the League for the
Preservation of American Indepen-
dence, he gives as his reasons that
by affixing his signature to the
League of Nations covenant, thus
deliberately attempting to subject the
United States Congress and New
York State to a jurisdiction foreign
to our Constitution and unacknowl-
edged by our laws. He has shown
contempt for the Senate for melting
the uniformed to clamoI against the
lawful use of the authority and by
threats to diminish the prestige and
authority of a coequal organ of the
government. in order that he might
become the master of our foreign
relations"

PHILIPPINE embroideries. 1t is stated
that a Philippine American Chamber
of Commerce had become necessary
to merchants, investors and the banks
of the two countries.
The meeting at the Philippine Ma
tional Bank in New York at which
the chamber was organized was not
only well attended, but deep inter-
est and even enthusiasm was in evil
dence. Prof. H. Parker Willis of
the Federal Reserve Board, presided.
Among those present were several
well known investors, bankers hav-
ing representation in Manila and
representatives of business concerns
are stationed in New York. Hon.
Jaime C. de Veyra and Hon. Eco
doro r. Yangco, Resident Commits
sioners from the Philippines TO the
United States, who have shown much
interest in bringing about the closes
possible trade relations between the
United States and the Philippines
were also present
The organization of the chamber
was brought about by James j. Raf-
ferty, director, Bureau of Commerce
and Industry of the Philippines. Mr..
Rafferty, has been in the States sew
eral months, boosting Philippine
American steamship lines TO handle
the fast growing trade between the
Philippines and United States.
Another work that is of importance
in future Philippine trade
relations was the organization by
Mr. Rafferty, of Philippine commercial
agencies in San Francisco and New
York, with a possible third in Seattle.
1t is proposed that these agencies
will handle practically all govern
ment work foI the commercial de-
velopment of the islands. Some of
the duties of the agencies will be:
/. To keep the central Office of
the Bureau of Commerce and Indus
try in touch with market conditions
in the United States The central
Office will reach the local public.
2. To seek out American investors
for the development of resources Of
the Islands when local capital is not
available and American capital, tech
nical experience and administration
are needed.
I 3. To conduct publicity cam
paign for the Philippines, advertising
the products of the Islands in much
the same way that Philippine cigars
and tobacco are advertised.
A. To furnish business men and
and tourists with reliable information
regarding the Islands as compiled by
the central Office of the Bureau of
Commerce and Industry.
5. To assist Philippine business
men in forming trade connections in
the United States.
6. To conduct such special inves-
LEGATIONS as our business interests
may require.
Persons desiring to avail them
selves Of the services of the two
agencies already in existence should
address their communications to the
Philippine Commercial Agency, either
at Grand Central Palace. New York
City, or Merchants Exchange Build
ing San Francisco.
