January is an important
month in the poultry yard.
Select the best young hens and
mate them with good cockerels
now in order to produce plenty
of good fertile eggs for setting.
1t is necessary to select now so
as to improve the quality of the
pullets we will have next year.
Just gathering eggs off the yard
and setting the hens when they
take the notion will not produce
profits in poultry. Use eggs for
setting only from the kind of
hens you want to keep that have
been mated to a good eockere'

SPECIAL COM MITTEE
ON VET BILL BACKED
Representative Winslow Favors
Proposal if Body Is Organ
lied Comnrehensively.

Approval of the plan Of House
leaders to set up a new rommittee
especially to consider legislation rel
ative to the Veterans Bureau and the
care of disabled former service men
Is given by Representative Samuel
wfnslow of Massachusetts, chairman
of the committee on interstate and
foreign commerce, which heretofore
has had jurisdiction over such legis-
lation.
The new committee. however. would
have no jurisdiction over appropri-
ations for the Veterans Bureau.
Representative Winslow, speaking
for himself, and not for his commit

personally, I approve of the idea
If the Jurisdiction of the committee 10
set up in a way as to make the COM
spect to direct legislation. but with q
view of working harmoniously and ef-
ficiently with other committees which
have jurisdiction over certain fea-
lures Of veterans legislation which
affect the administration Of the Vet
erans' Bureau.
Then the new committee must also
have q sufficiently elastic Jurisdiction
to take up any new phases Of the
Of which might be questioned unless
provisions are made for compre-
hensive power for the new committee.

bandages and removed TO the labora-

Reports indicate that the dissension
between the eNcavators and the de-
partment OF antiquities, which is an
open secret here, has reached an acute
stage. There is considerable comment
at the absence of Prof. Pierre Lacau,
director OF the department, when the
successive shrines were opened Thurs
day to disclose the SarcophaguS.
The grounds OF the dispute are said
TO lie in the question of visitors, the

by Mr.. Carter to his Journalistic asso-
ciateS On the other hand. Mr.. Carter
iS believed TO resent the Intrusion Of

Owing to the position OF intervening
doors scarcely two feet Of the breadth
Of the sarcophagus is visible, with the
| hands OF the protective goddeSSeS guard
ing the top corner grapsing the great
wings that cross upon the en;ab,ature
incised in shallow relief. :.
The visitor looks at the top end of
the sarcophagus, where, as is deduci-
bile from the sacred eyes of Horus
painted on either side of the outer
blue and gold canopy, the head Of the
royal mummy lies.

a wonderful rosy pink-which. like
everything else in the tomb. except
the gold-spangled pail, seems to BAN
ish the gloom Of death and accord
with the glittering gold of the four
inclosing shrines.
The question whether the space be-
tween the shrines contains further
treasures, which almost certainly 1t
does, cannot be answered until the
shrines are taken down. for the doors
completely block the view.

of Mellon Bill.

Enactment Of excess profits, irl-

urged today by Representative Frear
Of Wisconsin, republican member of
the House ways and means committee.
In a prepared address delivered in
the House he came out vigorously In
opposition to a number of the impor-
tant provisions in the Mellon tax bin
and denounced the propaganda he de-
clared was being conducted in behalf
of the administrations program.
Mr.. Frear, who is leader in the re-
publican insurgent bloc, also asserted
that Congress would pass the soldiers

tests of big business men,

In outlining the tax reduction
program which he desires to be
translated into law. the Wisconsin
member said Congress should re-
duce the tax on earned income by an
aggregate of sl00,000,000: cut the
normal tax on incomes of $4,000
and less from per cent to 2 per
cent. and on incomes of more than
$4,000 from 8 per cent to per cent
This Is a greater reduction than has
been recommended by Secretary Mel
Ion.
Mr.. Frear recommended sweeping
repeal of tho so-called nuisance taxes

BULLDOGS WILL PLAY NINE OF
 F[JRMANFRDAY Howard Team In Good Shape For Encounter
 At Berry Field

With q game scheduled for Friday with Furman university the Howard tossers are working at top speed to be at their best in this tilt. The team as a whole is in good condition at present, and Coach Cope has been devoting his time to improving some of the weak nesses that showed up the last games. One of the main things that the How ard leader has been working on Is base running. With the practice that they have received of late there are several men on the team that are expected to account for quite a few thefts fin the future, as the Bulldogs have several men in camp who possess world of speed.
 Toby Stubbs, who pitched several games with the Howard nine last sea- son, has been showing as much i'm provement of late as any pitcher on the team. Toby has always had the arm to pitch. but last year being his first year in baseball uniform, he lacked experience and was not able to show much stuff. However, he has acquired quite few points on pitching this year. and he can keep his arm in good condition he will be one of the ''A'-' Pitcher. IaIGooa Shan.
 Stevens, Hyde and Bainss seem to be in the best of shape, and as all of them nave had lots of baseball experience, the Furman team is slated to receive a warm reception from the pitching staff, regardless of what other members of the team do.
 Gaylord is showing more stuff be- hind the bat every day, and the catch ing department seems to be we'll taken care of at present.
 Dan has not only shown improve ment behind the bat, but his arm has also gotten into better shape, and he Is making base stealing a dangerous thing for his opponents.
 The ou;field is looking better now than 1t has looked at any time. since the season onened. shelton, White, Garfield and Darden& are the men who are taking care. of the outer gardens, and with all of them going at top speed It is toss-up as to who will be in the lineup for the Furman affair. Aside from the men 1t Is probable that Coach Cope might take Hyde or Stevens for the outfield if the regular gardeners show any faltering at the bat.
 With every man on the team anxious to get into game. the Furman squad will have to go strong if they expect to beat the Bulldogs when they meet Friday.
