London, March 26--Almost every day furnishes new victim for the underground" warfare in Ireland This morning Alan Bell, resident mag istrate, TO years of age, and for many years an official of the royal con- stabulary, was dragged by gang, some of whom were masked, from a crowded tram car in Dublin and shot four times in cold blood before the eyes of passengers. Some of the pas- sengers were women who fainted at the sight. The assassins fled and no arrests have been made.
 There have been three attacks on policemen in different parts of Ireland during the last three days, two of the policemen being dangerously wounded. One of them was a young man re- turning home after enlisting in the constabulary.
 An inquest at Dublin today on the unknown man killed Wednesday eve- ming revealed that he was clerk at army headquarters. Dublin gossip says he was engaged in secret service work.

Chile Has No Thought of Mobilization as Result of Peru-Bolivia Dispute
 Says Note
By Associated Pres,

Washington, March 26-An official summary of the American note to Chile regarding the recent anti-Peruvian dis turbances in Bolivia and of the reply of the Chilean government was made public today by the state department.
 The American note. which asked Chile to do everything in it's power to avoid the breaking out of hostilities on the west coast of South America, evoked some adverse comment In Chilean news papers, the Mercurso declaring it gave evidence of suspicion that Chile had fos- tered the difficulties between Bolivia and Peru,
 The American Chamber of Commerce at Valpairaso also criticised the action of the American government, and in message to Joseph H. Shea, the Ameri- can ambassador, said the note as pub lished in the Chilean newspapers was grossly erroneous, uncalled for and ab- solutely contrary to the expressed prin- ciples of the American government"
 The state department summarized the American note and the Chilean reply in the following statement;
 OFFICIAL SUMMARY

The Bo- livian government was also informed that in the opinion of the department ot state any agitation terding to endanger peace on the American continent wouiu be a calamity which would place the grayest responsibility upon those who couptenanced it.
 nThe ambassador was instructed to in- form the Chilean minister for foreign affairs that this department would de- plore mobilization in Chile, and that similar representation had been madel 10 the governments of Peru and Bolivia re- garding mobilization in those countries. SHOULD FIND A WAY

CHARACTERISTICS OF
! DARK CORNISH POULTRY

[By Mrs. Forbes, Poultry Specialist,
Division of Extension. University of
TENNESSEE
One of the most prominent charac-
teristics of the Dark Cornish bird is a
shortness and closeness of featherlng,
This Is point Of great Importance.
and should be remembered In select
ing Cornish poultry. Their combs are
of a variety that is called the pea
comb. The pea comb has three strong
single combs which are joined at the
base and the rear of the combs Con-
sequently they are sometimes called
joint combs.
In selecting Dark Cornish poultry
the birds with large bones and short
legs fur apart should be chosen. Els
pscially at the thighs this Characters
tic is very marked. II this stoutness
md width of back and legs is found,
1t follows as rule that the bird has a
good broad breast. and tail of correct
shape. With this broad back it is I'M
portant to have short muscular wings.
The standard weight of Dark Cor
nish male bird is ten pounds. His
color should be lustrous greenish
black intermingled with n dark red on
the wings and back. If great care is
not given to selecting male bird with
a large bone, weak breeding stock will
be the result. Unless the bird has the
shortness and stoutness Of legs you
are very sure of finding narrow back
shoulders and breast, which character
istics in any variety Of the Cornish
breed are a very serious defect.
In the female you will find the l,Is-
trous black coloring with mahogany
pencillng with wings, back and breast
feathers showing two pencillngs. This
penciling should follow the shape of
the feathers.
Any feathers on the legs of these
birds disqualify them. The White and
Whitehead Red Cornish require the
same type of bird that the Dark Cor
nish possess. Very few White OF
White-laced Red Cornish have been
shown in the south.

, tracts are reported for berries at $3.5U
to $3.T5 a crate, which Is a very high
price. National prohibition has caused
a greater demand for fruit juices, and
has made these juices more active than
ever before in their influence In con-
tracing this crop. Returns the past
year, and prospective returns for tho
next few years, are such as to war
rant growers to Increase their acreage
slightly. Farmers who have not grown
strawberries in preceding years, but IT,
tend to this year, and who face pos
sibillty of not being able to secure lu-,
Dor to harvest the CROP will find lt
more satisfactory to plant only II few
acres, so that the grower and Ills fam.
lily, and perhaps limited amount OF
local help can properly harvest the
crop. Communities that have a NUM-
Der Of farmers each planting only a
few acres but in the aggregate plant
ing 100 acres, will be able to form n
cooperative marketing association anil
thus economically market the berries.
