Dempsey Weighs In At 21O' In Street Attire-Will Welcome Frenchman's Trainers At Camp
rRepubIican A. p. Leased wirel

MANHASSET, N. Y., May 19.- Georges Carpenter sent his scouts today in search of softer and more secluded roads for track work. The hard macadamized highways over which throngs of curious persons are travelling to get a glimpse of him, combined with a desire for greater privacy, have caused certain changes in his plan.
 The public will be excluded from the training farm and newspaper men vii be welcomed only on Mon days, Wednesdays and Fridays at 5 D. m, when Carpentier will work.
 Serious training will start Mon day and will consist of light boxing until he has recuperated from the sea voyage, Francois Descamps, his man ager, announced tonight.
 Today was spent about the training camp with his Belgian dog and in company with Jim Corbett. Two rings have been fitted up, one inside and one for outside work.
 Large Autographs showing Car pentier's victory over Beckett have been posted around the inside ring Descamps explained, to supply ''psy- chology stuff.'

GIVE CHICKENS EARLY FEED
Excellent Plan to Have Some Grain
Scattered IN Litter Ready for
Their Breakfast. h.,

If there is reasonable amount of
litter on the floor and the house is rat
proof, 1t is a practical plan to feed so
that there will be some grain left in
the litter overnight. This will be an
inducement to the hens to get to work
as soon as 1t is daylight. That's one
practical and inexpensive method of
prolonging the day. AS rule, hens
like to 60 to the perches rather early
in the evening on cold days, but they
will be down at dawn If they know
that they will find something to eat.
See to 1t that some grain is there in
the litter ready for them. This Is an
easier and pleasanter method than
getting around to do the feeding be-
fore daylight. If the hens loaf on the
perches until broad daylight one of
two things is wrong: Either the
house Is too dark or the hens are over
fed. Either condition is readily cor
rected and 1t will be dollars in your
pocket to do so.

| slight nor facile task which confronts
the incoming administration. Prob
ably 1t is the most difficult, with a
single exception, that was ever under
taken. The financial burden alone
Is sufficient to dismay any but the
most resolute. 1t is true that the
nations debt is now no greater than
1t was in 1865, in proportion to the
general assets of the people. Yet
obviously, it is far more difficult to
administer so vast debt, even with
so vast wealth to back the doing of
1t. 1t is an impressive reflection
that the yearly interest on our debt
is larger than were the entire annual
appropriations of few years ago.
The industrial and social problems
which confront the new administra-
ton are unprecedented. The enamel
ration of the negro slaves in 1865
produced scarcely 1.-THE of the dis
turbance in the economic world that
now prevails in the controversy be-
tween capital and labor, and that

tailed upon this administration bv it's
predecessor.
Unprecedented and incomparabl BILE,
too, are the tasks and difficulties in
our external relationships and trans
actions, which have been chiefly
caused and left by the former admin
istration. Never before were we in
Volved in anything like the existing
problems, in kind or in degree, and
these have been immensely aggra-
waited by the radical divergence from
traditional and hitherto practically
uniform policy which was adopted by
the late administration. The inter
national complications and burdens
entailed by the war would have been
great, had the course of the govern
ment during the war and since been
in accordance with precedent; but
with presidents disregarded and
unique and anomalous engagements
undertaken, they are multiplied
many times. There is today scarcely
an important country of the world
with which our relations are normal.
In such circumstances it Is crafty
ing beyond expression that the COM
mission given by the country to the
president to deal with all these things
was and is quite unprecedented in
the size of the majority and in the
definiteness of the prescription.
Never did an administration take
office with so gigantic task before
it, but never did one have so ire
mendous a vote of confidence in its
favor. Never was change of ad-
effected thru so vast
demonstration of popular sentiment,
desire and resolute conviction.
What then? The obvious sequel
is that there should be prompt and
constant support of the new admin

WE LOOK AHEAD

The new era has begun. For the
tWenty-eighth time in our. nationa
history there has been a change oil
FEDERAL administration. Every one
! - tEese involved a change not merely
In 0orson, but also in per ,onality, in
rcl onal characteristics. It is fact
CT curious psychological interest that
| each new president presented a
marked and generally very striking
and almost diametric contrast to his
| predecessor. In that respect the
change which has lust been effected
is no exception to the rule, if indee |
1t does not invest it with added en-
phasis.
OF these twenty-eight changes, it
is interesting to recall that fourteen,
or precisely one-half involved
changes not alone of persons, but
also Of parties. In one of them were
aarty lines more distinctly drawn,
or was the party change more COM
nlete. than in the present. 1t is
doubtless true that there were issues
in the late campaign which tran
scended party lines, and that such
lines were disregarded by multitudes
OF voters; but it is equally true that
the contrast between the contending
parties was never more distinct, and
that the change, form the purely
partisan point of view, was never
more radical or complete.
The change effected last week is,
however, much more than one in per
son and personality, and in party.
u Is change in politics, in that more
a'e"ate5 and more comprehensive
meaning Of the word which denotes
net mere partisan pecularities, but
the whole science of government. 1t
is change in the philosophy of the
distribution of power, a change in
civic economy, change in theories
Of constitutional application and en-
forcement; change from the auto
cratic to the democratic principle,
from purposes of personal govern
ment to those of government by law.
There have been such changes be-
fore, but never any comparable in
magnitude with this. Not from the
older Adams to Jefferson, nor from
the younger Adams to Jackson, no,
not even from Buchanan to Lincoln,
was the change as great as this. For
widely as those presidents differed,
they remained agreed on some funda-
mental principles, which never we're
called into question by and president
or any party unit 1.-The late admins
tration, The student of political
literature will find the utterances of
Woodrow Wilson on constitutional
government in America to be prac-
tically unique, among all that has
been written or spoken upon the sub
iect; and the student of current
events will observe that in practice
he actually exceeded his profession
and varied in both degree and kind
from all his predecessors, to an I'M
heard-of extent. The new era means,
a reversion to the funda-
mental principles formerly recog-
nized by all parties alike.

does not lure to ease. 1t is not

MITES CAUSE or SCALY LEG
Application Of Crude Petroleum to
Legs With Brush or Dipping 10
Best Treatment.

Two species of itch mites, attack
fowls, one Of which Is the cause of
scaly leg. While this mite commonly
remains on the feet, burrowing
through the scales and causing their
enlargement, it also attacks the comb
and the neck. A crust of loose tissue
is formed above the burrows, and in
tense itching results from this mining
habit. When scaly leg is left untreat-
ed the feet of the birds often become
badly distorted, and in some cases
the fowl can scarcely walk or get to
the perch. Sometimes terminal joints
OF the toes are lost.
As the mites are transferred from
one bird to another, scaly-leg fowls
should be treated promptly and should
not be introduced among clean birds.
Investigations made under the super
vision of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture show that car
bolineum or crude petroleum used on
the roosts doubtless will aid in pre-
venting the spread Of the scaly-leg
mite from one fowl to another. APP
plying crude petroleum to the legs
with brush or dipping the legs into
this oil is very effective. One appli-
cation usually is sufficient, but if the
scales are not largely shed off after
a lapse of 80 days the treatment should
be repeated. Kerosene oil is applied
by some farmers in the same way, but
Is less effective than crude Oil In
using either, care should be taken not
to get the oil on the upper part OF
the leg or on the feathers. A less Sc
we're but more laborious treatment con-
sists of soaking the feet in warm soap
suds until the scales are lOOsened and
then greasing the feet and legs with
sulphur and lard, or lard containing
6 per cent crude carbOlic acid.
The other itch mite, commonly called
the depluming mite. Is very small
creature which burrows into the skin
near the base Of the feathers. The
intense itching sometimes causes the
fowls to pull their feathers until they
are almost naked. Dipping Of all

the administration of Woodrow Viii
son will have passed into history and
the administration of Warren G.
Harding will have begun. To attempt
a review of the administration of
President Wilson is too much of
task to undertake here. But the av-
erage citizen has but to remember
some Of the evHnts of the past eight
years to gain some idea Of the tre-
mendous burden that has rested on
the shoulders of this man. Within
eighteen months after his inaugura-
ton war broke out in Europe and
such a conAagration of war as the
world has never seen befora. From
that moment there were those who
began to criticize the president for
his policy of neutrality In the spring
of 1917 the United States entered
the war and even during thle war he
was criticized from many sources but
he withstood it remarkably well. 1t
was when the problem Of making
peace arose that the greatest storm
of criticism broke loose. Woodrow
saw as a possibility universal peace
thru the League of Nations. He dared
to stand for an ideal and he drew

Sklddlnq Is Overcome.

Attention is called In a circular re-
port from Sydney, Australia, to a new
invention of a front-drive vehicle
which entirely prevents skidding. A
test over 10000 miles OF rough road
has been made. It is claimed, with no
signs Of wear. The front wheels are
pivOted in the cen,er, which enables
the steering Of the car with much
greater ease than in the rear-whesl-
driven machine. The device is now
attached to an old worn British car
which, prior TO the attachment OF the
device. weighed 80 cwt., with a speed
Of thlrty-elght miles an hour travelling
fifteen miles on one gallon Of gasoline.
After alteration and application of the
front drive device, the car weighs 80
cwt., has a speed Of forty-flve miles
an. hour and will go seventeen and one
half miles on a single gallon Of gaso-
line.
