Washington, Jan. 9.-Ihe
House Judiciary Committee met
today 20 prepare a report on the
Daugherty impeachment inquiry.
Having already agreed unofticially
upon complete eXoneration Of the
attorney general, the committee
was to consider chiefly what ac-
ticn should be taken against Rep.
Oscar f. Keller Of Minn., who
filed the impeachment charges
and then refused to testify to sup
port them.
Keller is now suffering from a
partial nervous breakdown as the
result of the strain of the inquiry.
The House has given him an in
definite leave of absence.
The judiciary committee had be-
fore it a report from the sub-com-
mittee which investigated Keller's
conCEct. This report overruled
Keller's contention that, as q

SUBSCRIPTIONS
ARE PLENTIFUL
Field Has Hardly Been Touched
Present Opportunities viii
Never be Equalled

The last lap of the Gazette's
100000 campaign, now on, will
soon be gathering increased mo-
mentum as the contestants realize
that this is the last opportunity
to gather in the votes on the
double quick.
Some of the contestants seem to
be resting OF their oars while the
wide awakes are making their
time count in a big way.
Just one week from this Satur-
day and the lowest vote offer of
the campaign goes in effect which
means that it will require quite a
bit more effort to get the same re-
suits later.
There are hundreds of subscrip-
tions to be had by those who will
go after them. The field has not
been really covered. New contest
ants still continue to enter and
this alone proves the opportunity
at hand now.
Candidates are again reminded
that the Second payments" are
very valuable. If some friend has
given n candidate six months
subscription, for example, the
same person may subscribe again
during this period for rs long as
Is months and the subscription
will count more votes than if it
were only the first payment.
1t should be kept in mind, too,
that contestants must make regu-
lar weekly cash reports. Failing in
this means forfeiting their rights
to prize or cash commission.
There is no time to idle away
now. There is new blood" in the
campaign and, for that matter,
some Of the early ones to enter
are going to protect their interests.
On the other hand, however, some
of the candidates seem to think
that there is nothing further to do
and that they have The big prizes
"clinched." Disappointment is
bound to come to those who have
such ideas.
And, even now, new candi-
date can enter and, with little eff
fort, climb to the top of the list.

LOVERS ARE
HANGED TODAY
Mrs. Thompson and Bywaters Die
at Same Hour For Some
Crime
(By United Press.)

London, Jan. J.-MrS. Eercy
Thompson, half swooning was
hanged at 8 o'clock this morning
at Holloway jail for murder Of
her husband October 4. At the
same hour in Bentonv;lle Prison,
Frederick Edward Bywaters, her
lover found jointly guilty Of the
crime was hanged.
Hundreds. gathered in chilling
rain outside the prisons awaiting
the single solemn clang of the
death bell that announced the
executions.
One woman bore placard:
Murder cannot be abolished by
murder"
Mrs. Thompson, who made vain
appeals for clemency to the last,
was the first woman executed in
England in fifteen years.
Only officials were permitted to
witness the hangings. High board
fences had been erected about the
scaffolds a. the of London jaiis,
and the public saw nothing Of the
executions nor Of the prisoners as
they were taken from their cells.
Official notices of the executions
were posted on the gates that at
Pentonvillc saying that Bywaters
had been executed being put up at
9:25 a. M, Mrs. Thompson's no.
tice at 9;33.
The curious crowds outside
driftod away without demonstra-
ton.
Mrs. Thompson and Bywaters
weer found guilty, after one OF
the most dramatic murder trials
in English court history, of cor
spring against the formers hus-
band and affecting his death by
stabbing or October A. Bywaters
admitted the stabbing, claiming
self defense. The couple said they
had planned TO elope together Ia
tr on, and love letters passed be-
tween them were produced IN
which they discussed means of
poisoning Percy Thompson.
The prosecution held, and the
jury found that Mrs. Thompson
melted Bywaters to stab her hus-
band, but both the youth and the
woman protested violently this
was not so. A petition, signed by
more than a million people, most
ly women, was presented the
home secretary asking. a reprieve
for Bywaters. Mrs. Thompson
also made appeals, but with few
signatures. Most of the public's
sympathy was with the youth,
ship steward, who had become
infatuated with the woman.
Bywaters walked bravely to the
scaffold. He had borne up well
throughout the trial and the var
icus ordeals preceding his execu-
ition ,on'y constantly urging that
Mrs. Thompson be spared. he
slept most of last night, ate
light breakfast, smoked cigar
cite, sent a last message to the
Governor of the Pcntonville Pris-
on thanking him for the treat
ment, he had received while there,
and then walked steadily to his
doom. Ellis. the official execu-
toner, took but a couple of min
utes. Bywaters stood, arms pinion-
ed, on trap door. A woolen cap
was pulled over his head, immedi-
a1ely the rope had been adjusted,
and death was certified to have
been instantaneous.
Mrs. Thompson passed fair
night, but was in a state Of COM

She was practically unconscious

HOMEGROWN Feeds Best
for Production of Eggs

Commercial chicken feeds to stimu-
late egg production are not used by
the majority Of the leading poultry
men of Iowa. That fact was brought
out In the recent survey made by the
poultry extension men Of Iowa state
college.
A questionable was sent out to the
leading poultrymen Of the state and
81 reports were received. OF these 81.
there were 81 who had never used
commercial feeds for stimulating egg
production. OF the % who had used
commercial feeds, II stated that they
believed the feeds were valuable and
the other 10 stated that the feeds we're
not beneficial.
The Iowa poultry department at
Ames recommends the following:
Scratch feed: 2 parts corn, 1 part
of wheat and I of oats.
Dry mash: 1 part ground corn, 2
parts ground oats. I part gluten, Y
tankAge. Sour milk or buttermilk
could take the place of tankage.
Green feeds, as cabbage, sprouted
oats, steamed alfalfa hay are bene-
fetal. Fresh, clean water Is essential.
Gravel or crushed stone are necessary
for grit. Oyster shell supplies the hen
with material needed to form egg
shells.

THEFT BUREAU URGES
OWNER TO KNOW CAR
Many Stolen Machines Could Not
Be Identified.

4 comprehensive report OF auto
tflefts for the last year just issued BY
the theft bureau of the Automobile
Club of Southern California shows that
year by year there are more cars be-
ing stolen.
In southern California during 1922
there were nearly S3,0OO,0OO worth Of
automobiles taken by thief gangs. It
Is believed that this tremendous aCtiy-
ity is conducted by professional groups
of thieves organized on a commercial
basis, although a certain per cent Of
the cars are taken for joy riding pur-
poses.
There were. s,,7SS machines stolen in
Los Angeles alone during 1922. as com
pared to 1872 taken in 1927. The fig
ures for 1921 show a material advance
over those OF 1920, according to the
theft bureau report.
An investigation of the facts relating
TO the theft OF each automobile shows
that in most instances the a was
stolen because the owner failed to lock
it or even left the keys in the lock.
Such carelessness as this encourages
the stealing of machines throughout
the state, say the authorities. AL
though the greatest number of cars
stolen have been recovered. great diff
iculty has been experienced in getting
them back because the owners could
not give proper information to the de
tectives in identifying their property,
even failing to know their OWL license
or engine numbers.
Every motorist should place private
Identification marks somewhere on his
car in a place where the thieves are
not likely to find and destroy 1t. 1t Is
hoped to cut down the number OF
thefts during 1923.

Marry Young Chicks Die
Every Year From Gapes

Many thousand young chicks die
every year from gapes. The disease
Is caused by a parasitic worm which
attaches itself to the walls of the wind
pipe: This worm is sometimes called
the t6rked worm by reason Of the fact
that the male and female are so Arm
ly united that at first glance they have
the appearance Of one worm with two
heads. The worms suck blood from
the mucous membrane, thus weakening
the chick. They also clog the windpipe,
which interferes with breathing.
The first symptoms Of the disease
are coughing and sneezing. Soon the
chicks begin to cape, plainly showing
chat they are unable to get sufficient
air. Gapes spread rapidly. The female
in the wfndpipe develops a large num-
Der of eggs, which are coughed up by
the chick, or else are swallowed, pass
ing through the intestines and being
voided with the droppings. In Its eff
forts to rid itself of the obstruction in
its windpipe, the chick often coughs up
live worms.

AVOID SK|DD|NC
BY TWO METHODS
ry- su - :. i.Sr
Rough Tread Tires or Chains Win
Prevent Trouble to Con-
e siderable Extent.

1SI~E
Why an automobile SkidS Is of in
terest to a motorist, but what to do to
prevent skidding and what to do when
the Car is skidding are equally i'm
portant topics.
The main cause Of skidding of rear
wheels of motor cars is due to the
action Of the brakes operating through
the rear wheels. Skidding, Of course,
normally occurs only when the roads
are slippery.
An automobile wheel rotates and
progresses over the highway in but
n direction or plane. This direc-
ton for the rear wheels is determined
by the front wheels under control of
the driver. While the rear wheels grip
the ground and rotate they control the
direction of the car. However. as
Don as the rear wheels are locked by
the brakes they begin to slide and as
they slide sidewise practically as cas-
lily as forward, they lose the power
TO direct the car.
Little Friction Locks Wheels.
1t takes. comparatively little brake
friction to lock and slide rear wheels
on slippery roads because there is
little friction between the tire and the
road surface. When once the driving
wheels begin to slip the car is kept in
motion by the force of inertia acting
Mt the cars center of gravity or mass.
This forward motion is opposed by the
-oeiefo~oa 90 oil fn,,,. ,rbon1r M tho
ground, a resistance that is greater in
the rotating front wheels than in the
sliding rear wheels. Unless the com
bined ground resistance of all wheels,
tending to stop the car, acts on the
same point as the force of inertia tend
suits what Is called "force couple"
which causes the car to skid or spin
around.
After the wheels once start to slip
a very small force couple" will pro-
duce skidding. and the skid distance
Is dependent upon the magnitude of
the force couple" which in turn de-
ponds on car speed and weight. Turn
ing the front wheels in the direction
of the rear wheel skid helps to reduce
skidding because 1t reduces the magni-
tude Of the "force couple" Also peri
odically releasing and r~e-applying the
brake SO the rear wheels can get n
grip offsets forward slip and conse-
quent side skid.
Ways to Prevent Skidding.
Two means are employed to prevent
skidding in motor vehicles. The use
of nonskid or rough tread tires and
of anti-skid chains. Nonskld tires are
designed TO give forward traction and
TO prevent side slip. AS long as there
is traction the rear wheels will turn,
and as long as the rear wheels turn
there will De M serious side slip. un.
less the front wheels are blocked.
Nonskid chains accomplish the same
purpose as the nonskid tire tread, thai
is, give additional traction and reduce
side slip. Nonskid chains should sup
plement nonskid tires only when roat
conditions absolutely require them.

Difficult to Eradicate
tuberculosis in Flock

Tuberculosis in fowls can be elm
mated only by disposing of the in
fected stock. Treatment Is imprac-
teal and of no value in the control Of
the disease. To radicate the disease:
1. Replace the entire flock as soon
as possible with healthy birds raised
on unaffected ground.
2. Kill and burn all birds showing
symptoms of tuberculosis.
8. Put dropping boards in poultry
houses and keep them clean.
4. Get plenty of fresh air and light
into the poultry house.
5. Get rid of old fowls.
6. Burn and bury deep all dead
birds.
7. Pillow up and SOW down land when
practical.
