FARM RELIEF BODY
BEGINS ITS LABORS

WashingtOn.-The commission re-
Gently appointed by President Cool
idge to make comprehensive analysis
and report on farm problems with a
view to arriving at a program for per-
manent sterilization of agriculture de-
cided at it's initial meeting to proceed
along three lines:
The study of pending farm legis-
lation, inquiry into the administration
of present laws and plans for incul-
eating in the farmer an appreciation
of cooperation.
Eight of the nine members of the
commission, comprising leaders in
farm life from every agricultural Sec
ton of the country, called at the
White House before entering execu-
tive session at the Department of Ag-
riculture, and were welcomed by Mr..
Coolidge. The President addressed
the members briefly, but his remarks
were not made public
1t is understood, however, that he
made no recommendations, instead
placing the problems entirely up to
the commission.
Proposed legislation expected to
come under the commissions study in
cludes the McNary- Haugen export cor
poration bill, the Norris Sinclair bill
and Capper Williams and Curtis-As-
we'll measures-all either awaiting
consideration at the coming short SEES
sion of congress or in the course of
completion in committees.
Consideration of these and any 9TH
err measures that may be proposed is
expected to be given with the hope
of correlating or eliminating objec-
tionable features and arriving at a
plan which will suit all interested
parties.
Although there has been no indica-
ton of how long the commission may
require to complete its investigation,
it is the general belief that it can
complete recommendations requiring
Legislative action before the present
congress lapses.

Artillery Officers
Needed. Report Says

Washington.-Maj. Gen. William J..
Snow, chief of the field artillery, is
urging efforts to increase materially
the number of reserve artillery off
GERS, in his annual report submitted
to Secretary Weeks and made pub
lie. The general declared that ap-
proximately 10000 additional artillery
officers would be needed, at a con-
sentative estimate, should a major war
crisis appear. General Snow said the
present reserve corps enrolment of
artillery officers is 1889.
The improvement of the guard ar
tillery since the war is shown by
the generals statement that it now
consists of eight brigades and ten sep
arated regiments of artillery troops,
totaling 2,159 officers and 10000 men.

LABOR ASSA|Ls
ANTITRUST LAW
Report Given A. F. of L.
Convention Also Hits
Trade Board.

Ell PaSo, Texas.-An attack on the
federal trade commission and the
whole theory of legislation directed
against industry of the Sherman
antitrust" law and Clayton act type
is included in the annual report which
the executive council submitted to the
American Federation of Labor at the
opening session of the convention
here.
The report declares the federal
trade commission unfit for the per-
Torrance of it's duties and decries as
futile the attempt to regulate indus
try by passing prohibitory legislation.
The success of the Department of
Commerce under Secretary Hoover in
assuming constructive leadership
through the action of industrial
groups points the better way, the
council believes. The report refers
to the departments work as a ''con-
structive development in marked con-
trast to the repressive, wasteful poll
cieS of the federal trade commission"
Resume of Federation's Work.
Signed by Samuel Gompers as presi-
dent and ten members of the execu-
tive council, the document is a re-
sumo of the federation's work during
the year. In addition, it covers sew
eral projected activities of major i'm
portance to the affiliated unions.
Urges Caution in Banking.
The executive council again warns
organized labor and its membership
against the hasty formation of labor
banks and calls attention to the need
Of the most careful investigation and
survey of all conditions surrounding
such ventures.
The organization and operation Of
banking institutions by trade union
lists has continued to make progress
during the year, according to the re-
port. 1t is estimated that the total
resources of labor hanks in this coun-
try exceeded S60,0OOOO0.
There are at present % labor banks
in operation, the report revealed.
The average paid-up federation
membership for the year was 1885,
$40, the report of Frank Morrison
said, against 1926, 46S for the previous
year. The peak membership, in 1920,
was 4,O7S, 74O.

TEN DIE IN STORM;
BIC PROPERTY Loss
Shipping Along the Atlantic
Coast Damaged-Many
Are Rescued.

New York.-Leaying a mounting toll
Of death and disaster, the great gale
which for As hours held the Atlantic
seaboard in icy grip appeared to have
swept to sea.
Ten known dead, many missing,
huge property losses to shipping and
wholesale damage ashore was the toll
in this section.
While lire-saving agencies were mo-
bilized to search the seas for missing
craft and missing men, the wind
abated. Weather forecasters predicted
milder temperatures, with possible rain
or snow in adjacent districts. 1t was
20 above zero in New York city before
noon.
Dies During Rescue.
Tragic tales of the storm have begun
to drift into the news channels. A
barge skipper died of exposure at the
end Of a rope which was hauling him
from the water to safety aboard
United States revenue cutter.
A wealthy man dozed in his auto
mobile in a garage and died there. A
poor man froze to death in an Eliza
beth tenement while his son was look
ing for work.
Scores of fishermen and rum run
ners, caught in the gale, abandoned
sinking small craft and were rescued
by coast guard cutters or police tugs.
A few arrests for liquor smuggling
were recorded after such rescues.
Frolic Crew Rescued.
The seven men abroad the sloop
Frolic, missing from Brooklyn since
Sunday, were rescued by the Norwe-
gian steamship Mexicano, off Nan
tucket and about 200 miles from Rock
away Point, according to a message
intercepted by the East Hampton radio
station
Weighed down with ice cloaks,
freight and passenger ships are arriv-
ing far off schedule with reports Of
80 to 90-mile gales encountered as they
neared the American continent. Some
carry smashed life boats and davits
empty where boats have been washed
away. Thus far however, only one
of the incoming ships has reported the
loss of a life.
The property damage attributed to
the storm, directly or indirectly, is
estimated in the millions.

RATION FOR YOUNG TURKEYS
Fowls Are Finieky About Food and
Refuse Anything Not Already
Familiar to Them.

Young turkeys are very particular
about their food and will not usually
touch any food that is not already
familiar to them. For this reason the
articles of food that they will need
as they grow older are supplied from
the first. Do not feed until the poults
are at least twenty-four hours old, and
then be careful not to overfeed.
A satisfactory first feed is a small
amount of finely crumbled boiled egg,
shell included. This is given three TO
six times a day for a week. After
the second day supply Of clean
water and fine grit should always be
available. A sprinkle of fine chick
feed is given along with the crumbled
egg, since grain forms a large part
of the ration, being fed three times
daily from the second to the sixth
week. This grain may be a good,
clean commercial chick feed or a mix
eure of fine cracked corn, cracked
wheat and oatmeal. In addition allow
the poults to range where they can
get plenty of green feed and insects.
Their feeding place and quarters
should be as far from the hen yard
as possible as precaution against
disease. After the turkeys are a
month or six weeks old, mixed whole
grains should be added to the chick
feed and may replace it as soon as the
turkeys are found to take the larger
grain. The mixture may consist of
wheat, corn, or oats. Feeding twice
or even once a day is usually sufficient
from this time on.

SKIN BAROMETER OF HEALTH
cuticIe Affords Outward and visihls
Sign Of Internal Physical
Cleanliness.

A lovely skin, aside from being the
subject for poetic raptures is a sensi-
tive barometer of your health, says
Elizabeth Arden In Arts and Decora-
tons. 1t is the outward and visible
sign of an inward and physical clean
illness. Its smoothness is a symptom
OF a good digestion and the absence IT
fevered disturbance. Its clarity Is
proof OF the correct balance of diet.
Its pinkness registers the swift dance
OF blood through the tissues.
The body is like an exquisitely
tuned engine. Your food is the fuel.
The air you breathe is the draught
that quickens the fire into life. If
you have been a suburbanite without
a faithful furnace man, you have bat
tied to keep fire Pickering, perhaps.
You know that there is coal that
burns with an even hot fame and
leaves a fine ash, without fuss or
waste. And there is other coal, that
burns stubbornly and only partially
and leaves great clinkers to clog the
channels of the fire.
Now food is like that. too. Simple
foods are digested and assimilated
thoroughly. Rich foods, hearty mix
lures Of foods, leave clinkers to clog
the system. Meats, pastries, thickened
sauces, these foods do not burn as
perfectly as fresh vegetables, cereals,
whole wheat breads and fruits. You
must eat wisely for beauty.

PARENTS OF NAVEL ORANGE
From Two Trees Has Grown an le
dustry Which ls Now Estimated
In Millions.

From two lone orange trees, to
which buds of the seedless navel" or.
ange Of Brazil were grated some years
ago. has grown an industry which last
year showed net profit Of some forty
million dollars. Today one hundred
and seventy-fiye thousand acres Of Cal
fornia land is planted to navel or
anges, which are set out In numbers
ranging from so to 100 trees to the
acre.
William Saunders, one-time superin.
tendent OF the government horticul.
sural grounds at Washington, D. O.,
learned In 1870 that a new seedless
orange had been developed at Bahai,
Brazil, and procured II Of the young
trees through the aid Of a missionary.
They were brought to the United
States and planted under conditions as
nearly those Of their native land as
could be found, but they could not
Withstand the more rigorous northern
climate, and they soon died. Buds had
been taken from them, however, and
grated upon sprouts Of native prcpa.
cation. Two of these sprouts survived
and were transplanted to the West
coast In 1876.
From them have sprung the thou
sands Of trees which have made the ma,
vel orange the foremost among the many
varieties Of oranges. Every year buds
have been taken from them to impart
navel characteristics to home grown
seedlings, and still though somewhat
ravished by time, these patriarchs an.
nually add their small quota to the
thousands Of bushels Of fruit their of.
spring yields.
One Of them stands Just outside Rivs
erside.
