40 Passenger Liners
Owned by u. S. May Be
Sold For S25,OOO,OOO

The Governments forty passenger
liners are expected to bring at least
$25, 200, 900 when the emergency
fleet is liquidated, United States
Shipping Board officials said today.
The original building cost was prob
ably 500, ZOO, 900.
Hearings of the United States ship
operators committee, representing
corporations which operate the Gov
eminent ships, before the shipping
board tomorrow, are expected to de-
velop that the passenger vessels are
not as near the white elephant"
class as the cargo steamers.
Twenty-Five Of the passenger ships
are in operation in the North Allan
tic, Pacific and South American
trades.
On practically all lines bookings
are filled to September 1, indicating
a considerably heavier business than
last season. The Governments pas
senger fleet will be operated at a
good profit during June, July and
August, officials said, but like the
freighters 1t will lose money except
ing in the rush season.
With the Leviathan in service by
the middle Of the summer revenues
OF the Government ships will be
considerably increased.
Included in the fleet are twenty
three 535 and 500 foot vessels built
by the Government and seventeen
ex-eneny vessels. Most Of the old
German liners are undergoing re.
conditioning and only the Leviathian
of these will be available for service
this season.

HARDING PLANS
To GET RID
Of SHIPS
President Is Expected to Re-
veal Program After His Re-
turn to Capital.
By GEORGE r. HOLMES,
international News Service.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla, March
27.-President Harding has q. plan
OF his own for liquidating the Gov
ernment's great shipping fleet, now
q white elephant on the hands Of
his administration.
Details of the Presidents scheme
have not been fully determined, but
he has been devoting considerable
attention to the problem on his
Florida trip, and it is expected he
will take back to Washington a
fully matured program for getting
the Government out Of the ship
ping business.
LasIxer Has 2 Plans.
1t was announced on Saturday
that A. d. Iasker, chairman OF the
United States Shipping Board, who
has been q member Of the Harding
vacation party, would return to
= Washington today to prepare two
plans for disposing of the fleet, one
portraying the losses of continued
Government ownership, the other
setting forth the financial better
ment that would accrue to the Gov
eminent by selling the ships to
private concerns.
Today Lasker announced he
would stay on at the Presidents
4SQuSSIp anu the O6ll6 OI his
departure is uncertain. 1t Is under
stood Harding wishes to discuss
his plan in detail with the chair
man of the Shipping Board before
his return to Washington.
That the Government will start
getting out OF the shipping business,
bag and baggage, within thirty
days, seemed certain today. Hard
Ing himself and his closest ad-
visers, without a single exception,
are agreed that the losses under the
present system of operation are
now as low as they can reasonably
be expected to be. Last month
these losses totaled $4,000, 900.
Decides to End Losses.
With a governmental deficit for
the year fixed at $3.50, 200. 900, by
latest estimate, the President is de.
termined to end the drain now i'm.
posed by fleet operation.
According to the latest plans OF
the Harding party, they will leave
st. Augustine next Saturday night,
barring unexpected developments
either here or in Washington.
Proof Of this was also seen in the
manner in which Mr.. Harding stood
thirty-six holes Of golf yesterday
over the long st. Augustine links
under a sun that was reminiscent
OF Washington in mid-July. He fin
fshed his ten-nile tramp healthily
tired.

ty'' it is charged by the wife, was
practiced upon her by Hood during
the time shortly after their marriage

represented to the court that Hood
is employed at a salary of $3.50 per
month, and has refused to make
any provision whatever to her sup
port. There are no children Of the
marriage. The wife asks the court
in her petition to restrain Hood

SOMERSET, Pa, March 81
Antipathy toward the black race

Khan, was not manifested in the
case of William Thompson, a desti-

door. Thompson opened it and a
note and $40 were thrust into his
hand by a shadowy figure.

and when wc think it will be re-

that 1t is given. We trust thfs will

TIMELY POULTRY NOTES.

Well matured pullets or birds in
in cir second year Of laying are the
most satisfactory as their chicks are
stronger and devaiop better. These
birds should be the best of the orig
inal flock of pullets. Birds that have
been sick or out Of condition should
not be used.
Many OF the poor matches aHd losses
in brooding can be traced to breeding
stock of low vitality.
Tie pullets that begin to lay III the
late fall and early winter are as a
rule the best producers. Taese
birds should be marked to De
used for breeders the next year. Dur
ing July and August the poor layer
should be ,culled out. TIE poultrylnah
or farmer can have the eealthiest as
we'll as the best producers Sor breed
ers when ire uses the birds in the sec
ond year of production. Birds 1orced
for heavy production during the win
ter should not be used for breeders IN
the spring for the vitality of flock
is reduced by forced feeding.
I1OuSIu5' ICCuihSy llCG idhsoC, gu"
management all play ar important
part in the production of good hatch
ing eggs.
The Importance of EARLY Hatch
ing :-The poultryman can do much to
standardize his eggs by selection. The
shape and color of eggs desired should
be selected for hatcning. The general
run of eggs can be greatly improved
by a regular selection each year. The
shell should be firm and smooth. Thin
shelled eggs and those weighing less
than 1 1-2 pounds to the dozen should
not be used for Matching. The weight
OF eggs from a flock varies from
month to month. Those laid in early
spring are heaviest and best for
Matching. The large eggs hatch out
chickens that are larger and grow
better than those from small eggs.
White and brown eggs should not be
placed in the same incubator, as those
with brown shells. The eggs SHOULD
be as fresh as possible when placed
in the machine. Experiments have
shown that eggs that are only few
days old will hatch much better than
the same kind kept two or three
weeks. The longer an egg is acid, the
lower the vitality of the germ be-
comes. During the time the eggs are
being collected for Matching, care
should be taken to keep them in
temperature OF from so to 60 degrees.
1t is also important to turn the eggs
each day until they are put into the
machine. Do not wash eggs that are
to be used for Matching as this i'm
pairs the Matching quality.
