and closing the ends. Also, 9 by II
inch opening was cut in one end of the
house, the center being in line with
the front edge of the dropping board.
A piece of one-inch pipe, long enough
to extend the entire length of the drop
ping board and for about a foot more
than the length Of the trough on the
outside, was supported at each end, so
as to be directly under and parallel
with the edge Of the dropping board,
as shown. The V-shaped trough was
suspended from the pipe underneath
the dropping board. With this ar
rangement, it was an easy matter to
scrape the droppings into the trough
and slide it outside to be emptied.-

COMMONS APPROVES
 GIVING TRADE HELP
British House Passes Amendment Which Increases Relief Fund
 To 5O,OOO,OOO Pounds

London, Dec. 5. (By Associated
 Press)-The house ef commons early today passed resolution authorizing amendment of trade facilities act to renew it for one year and to increase to 50,000,0o0 pounds, the maximum guarantees provided by the measure. The resolution was offered by Stanley Baldwin, chancellor of the exchequer. More than 20 Georgian liberals vot- ed against the government while 35 abstained from voting. Had the lat ter also opposed the measure the gov ernment's majority would have been only 27.
 The action of the house last night in rejecting an amendment to the ad- dress in reply to the speech from the throne demanding repeal of the safe- guarding of industries act, is featured by the opposition newspapers as an indication of what might happen if or when the Georgian and Asquithian liberals joined forces. ~The amend ment was offered by Sir John Simon, liberal. It was defeated by vote of 269 to 207.s The division of ballots showed that the liberal minority was supported by some of the Lloyd George liberals while others abstain ed from voting.
 It is expected that the two liberal wings will unite today to support the Georgian amendment to the address calling for an inquiry into the con- dition of British agriculture.

President CoSgraVe Predicts Early
 Union Of All Parties

London, Dec. 5, (By Associated
 Press) s).-Without pomp or ceremony the Irish free state will come into be- ing at midnight tonight
 By special order in council, the full administration of the country all ready has been handed over to the provisional government with Timothy Healy as governor general. There fore when the constitution comes into existence tomorrow there will be no ceremony of any kind to mark the fulfillment of the treaty made between the British and Irish governments.
 Holyhead, Wales, Dec. 5, (By Asso- ciated Press) historic meeting occurred here last evening. It was between the first president of the Irish free state and its first governor gen. eral, William Cosgrave of the Dali Fireann, accompanied by Richard Mulcahy, minister of defense, crossed from Dublin to meet Timothy Healy on his return from London where he had been in connection with his ap- pointment to the governor general ship.

 President Cosgrave declared in an interview that the situation in Ire- land was we'll in hand and that he had hopes the troubles of the Irish people were at an end. He said union of the north and south could not long be delayed in as much as the line dividing the two sections was unnatural. The president added that the appointment of Mr. Healy was un- doubtedly popular among all classes in Ireland. He said the execution of Erskine Childers had been received with calmness and fortitude. As an evidence of the rapid improvement of conditions in Ireland President Cos grave said that the past year had shown a large increase in exports as compared with 1921.
