LIVE IN TENTS
 TOESCAPEHICH
 CHICAGO RENTS
Thousands of Families Planning New Method for Present Summer.
Canvas Cities Going Up Close to Metropolis, Born of Necessity.

CHICAGO, April 21 - Twenty-Five thousand or more Chicago families will live in tents on the forest pre- serves near the metropolis this sum- mer, to escape the high rents, ac- cording to an announcement made to- day by E. A. Potter, manager of the Chicago Tenants Protective League
 Plans for the great canvas cities have been completed including speci- fications for the installation of water and plumbing systems, electric light ing and other necessities.
 The aim is to empty many thousands of houses and apartments in Chicago and thus bring down the rents.
 MT. Potter said the same principle of cooperation would be applied in the purchase of supplies for the tent con- munities, including fuel and grocer ies in whole sale quantities, to be dis tributed from a central warehouse.
 The project for breaking the rental trust" by these methods has been under way for several months.

STATES RIGHTS FIGHT STARTS
 IN CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, April 21. The old fight for State rights" was on again in Congress recently. This time it is Senator Ladd, Republican and Non-P Partisan Leaguer, of North Da- kota, who is out to curb Federal powers, and he proposed to do it through sweeping changes in in- terstate commerce laws.
 Ladd is laying his battle lines in the hope of getting prompt action on his bill to give back to the sev- eral States exclusive powers over their own affairs-principally in the matter of commerce. He charges the Federal Government with maintain- ing an "autocratic rule" over State administrations and points to a recent decision of the United States Supreme Court in a North Dakota grain case wherein it was held that the rulings of the Interstate Con- merce Commission supercede any State law affecting shipments of grain.
 The bill which Ladd hopes to put through is aimed at revision of inter- state commerce laws, but the appli- cation of the new law would be so far-reaching as to strip from the Federal Government many of it's existing powers over the States. It's principal effect would be to re- store to individual States the right to fix all railroad freight and pas senger rates within their borders.
 Ladd declared that under the de- cision of the Supreme Court all State laws affecting shipment of food products, grain, cattle or any other commodity have been swept aside in favor of the Federal inter- state Commerce laws. The decision, he said, wiped out the State grain inspection laws in North Dakota, Minnesota, Kansas and other wheat growing States; State oil inspection laws in Texas, Oklahoma, California and other oil-producing States; pure food acts in North Dakota and Penn sylvania and similar laws in nearly every State in the Union.

Culling can be accurate only when
hens are kept under uniform condi-

hens that have had like opportunities.
Housing. feeding, freedom from par

to all birds compared. When these
conditions are poorly met even good
layers may be culled out, especially
