ARRIVING TURKEYS GIVE
PROMISE OF FAIR PRICE
First Large Shipment Is Received

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
BALTIMORE, October 2S.-The first
large shipment of turkeys of the 1872.
season arrived on the market here
last week, with the bulk of receipts
being from North Carolina That
there will be enough turkeys to go
around without causing the sharp up
swing in price which always follows
when demand exceeds supply was the
consensus expressed by the commits
sion men.
Another thing they forecast was
that with the wholesale price at the
start of the season at 80 to 40 cents Il
pound, there is little likelihood OF
going above these figures. which are
from II to 20 cents lower than at
this time last year.
That the farmer will be able to get
the price at which the turkeys are
now being sold throughout the sea-
son sS the hope expressed by the com
mission men. who say that cost OF
production does not admit of any
lower wholesale quotation at this
time.

Then suddenly the American re-

for that reason the machines, worth
1.500, 900 marks, had been confiscated.

The first laboratory for working out

an exchange. The development of sci

When the war came, the government
accepted without question the results
of these investigations and the ra-

were fixed upon them.
One of the most interesting fea.
lures of the laboratory is complete

Must Not Disturb Swans.

Even the highest in the French Re
public must bow before the edicts Of
the French protocol, as Nine. Des-
chanel, wife of the president, learned
when she objected to the presence Of
five white swans in the Elysee palace
ponds. The swans, Nine. Deschanel
admitted, were very beautiful, but
nearly every morning early they dis
turbed the rest of the presidents
household, and therefore she inquired
whether they could not be removed.
The chief of the protocol found that
sixty years ago clause was written
in the protocol which provided that
not less than five swans must be kept
in the Elysee palace grounds, for the
feeding of which the keeper of the
presidential gardens was responsible.

Maxine Wood Fire-Resistinq.

Keeping wood wet, injecting certain
chemicals, and coating with suitable
paints, are the three methods of in
creasing resistance to fire that have
been tested at the United States forest
products laboratory. Though not the
most effective, painting Is the cheap.
est and most practicable treatment for
wood in small amount. Ordinary cal
Gimme or whitewash proves to be as
resistant to fire as any paint. 1t is
cheap and convenient to use; and
while it does not prevent burning at
high temperature 1t lessons the risk Of
spreading a blaze from burning Gig
arettes, sparks and matches. A. paint
Of linseed oil, zinc borate and chrome
green, which has been tried for out
door use, retained it's flre-resisting
properties during more than three

It is the wish of the President that
visitors to the seat of Government
shall have every opportunity to get
full information concerning all gov
eminent departments. It is especial
ly his desire that all those who
come to Washington to transact bus
mess with any department or bureau
of the Government may quickly be
advised as to the exact location and
means of reaching the particular de-
partment or the exact location and
means of reaching the particular de-
partment or in which may be center

For this purpose there has been
established Bureau of Information
on the ground floor of the Post Of

Pennsylvania Avenue at Twelfth

petent people who will definitely

THE Knox resolution declaring the
state of war With Germany at an end
was passed by the senate. 1t is now
before the house. The prospects Of
number of amendments added to it by
the house are already looming over the
horizon of the house debate upon the
measure. That the house will concur
in the matter of the resolution, is pretty
certain. President Harding is rather
insistant on that point. That.the form,
the wording of it, may see considerable
change before it leaves the house is
probable. The Knox resolution as
adopted by the senate is couched in Ian
guage which might be interpreted to
mean that congress by its joint resolu-
ton April 6, 1917, declaring state of
war to exist between imperial German
government and the people of the
United States, adopted measure which
it now finds it necessary to repeal. 1t
is not the intention of the Knox reso-
luton to express any regret on the part
of congress for the adoption of the war
resolution of 1917; but its wording
might admit of such construction.
Many members of congress are, there
fore, in favor of striking the repeal
phrase, and simply declare that the
state of war between Germany and the
u. S. is at an end. Words are treach-
erous instruments even in the hands of
such masters of language as are the
members of the august body, the u. S.
senate

month period ended January 80, 1920,
