the tranSplanted domestic fowl from
the tropics has changed her habits
hut not her nature. During this time
she takes her vacation when she has
the least to eat and To do This is
from necessity rather than frcm
choice, for, given an opportunity to
eat exercise, and enjoy herself for u
hours "A day, she lays nearly, II not
quite so well, as during the summer
months.
Acting on this theory many poultry
keepers have found It profitable to
light their poultry houses for several
hours each day. This heightened day,
together with the right kind Of feed
and plenty Of exercise, has been found
TO increase TO marked degree the
number OF eggs laid by pullets In the
fall and winter. II does not pay to
provide light for older hens. A IA
hour day for the laying flock during
the winter months is the aim of those
who are following this practice.
Experiments are being carried on by
the United States Department Of
Agriculture at the government poultry
farm at Beltsville, Md. for the pur-
pose of securing more data on this
phase of poultry work. The results
secured thus far corroborate the testi-
mony Of others as to the value Of IL
Elimination in hen houses.
The birds used in the government
experiments are fed four times a day,
at eight, twelve. four and some time
after dark. This last feed is for the
birds breakfast. In addition TO the
four feeds dry mash is kept con-
stantly before the birds,

PROBABLY no legislation before congress has
aroused such widespread interest the Shep-

the first woman to sit in the house OF representa-

al womens organizations, representing ten million
women led by the League OF Women Voters and in
GLIDING the General Federation OF Women'S Clubs,
the Daughters of the American Revolution, and the
National Congress of Mothers and Parent Teacher
Associations, strong supporters OF the bill; so
the Council of Jewish Women, the v W. c. a,
and Roman Catholic societies.
On the other hand it is strongly opposed vari-
ouS grounds by the Christian Scientists, the Anti
ViviscctionistS State Medical societies and the
American Medical Association, the latter OF which
has reversed its attitude from Strongly" in ia
yor of the measure on December 20 1920, to ono
which now condemns the bill as economically m-
sound as tending toward Capitalization, and as
deegating functions to the federal government
which should be administered locally or by the
states.
Another strong opponent OF the bill is the Ma
tona Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage,
which claims that the bill breaks ground for the
dissemination of information on birth CONTROL and is
headed toward free love and socialism in general.
This view was presented by Mrs Mary g. Kilbreth,
president OF the association who also claims that,
while the bill was nominally for the protection of
mothers, and to bring about better offspring this
was not the real motive OF most of the people favor
ing the bill.

The federal government will claim this property and
