ARE UP AGAINST
STONE WALL OF
LOST ME MORY
Not Powerful Enough
Force Witnesses to
Talk
BY PAUL r. MALLON
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON, Iar. 11.-Far-
ing stone wall on every side, the
Teapot Dome committee may be
forced to close its investigation
within two weeks.
The weight of high pressure from
various sources is being felt and
investigators let it be known today
that unless some means can be de-
vised of breaking through obstacles
their inquiry may fail.
Many reasons are ascribed for the
failure of the committee to ascer
tain the facts concerning multifar-
ious reports, rulhors or direct infor-
nation that have come to IT. They
include:
l. That the exigencies of politics
have caused some witnesses con-
veniently to "forget.
2. That the agencies of the COM.
mittee are not sufficiently power
full to dig up the absolute evidence
in the face of opposition from high
quarters.
3. That there is no evidence and
hence it cannot be found the
committee, however, is reluctant to
believe there is so much smoke
without little fire. "
This situation obtains regarding
reports of big stock pool of gov
ernment officials, rumors of the so
called million dollar shrsh fund, the
story that an effort was made to
barter the secretary of the interior
at the last Republican convention
and other important phases of the
inquiry.

WEEK ADDS FUEL

Pizitz Enlargement And
Realty Energy Feature.
Period Here

Additional fuel to the FIRE of optimism
in the Birmingham district was fur
nished during the past week. Besides
the reported steady progress of several
big industrial projects a number of new
developments of importance were an
nounced.
Without doubt, the leading feature
Of the period fell into the retail business
classification in the announcement of
plans for expansion Of the Louis Pizitz
department store. -
Enlargement of the building will
make the Pizitz store one of the largest
and finest in the south and represent,
according to plans, an expenditure of
between 81 10000 and ST. SOC, 600.
This announcement may serve to de-
fleet the real estate activity from the
other sections between Third and Sixth
avenues to a vicinity in the neighbor-
hood of the Pizitz holdings, according
to expert opinion. It will undoubtedly
create marked increase in property
valuations near Second avenue and
Nineteenth street:

Poultry Profits Depend
on Earliness of Hatch

Profits in poultry raising depend to
a large extent on the earliness in the
season that chickens are Matched.
The earlier in life pullet commences
laying, the greater the number Of eggs
produced during the first laying year.
Pullets should be in laying condition
the first part Of October, if good win
ter egg production is to be expected.
The more eggs laid during November,
December and January, the greater are
the annual profits.
: In order to commence laying in -Oc-
tober, pullets Of the Plymouth Rock.
Rhode Island Red, Wyandotte, and
similar breeds should be Matched the
latter part Of March or the first part
Of April. Pullets Of the Leghorn,
Ancona, and similar breeds should be
Matched the latter part of April or the
first part Of May.

CARELESSNESS WILL
CAUSE POOR MATCHES

The careful gathering, selecting and
holding Of Matching eggs are factors
too often overlooked, asserts w. III.
Allen, poultry specialist at the New
Jersey College Of Agriculture at New
Brunswick. To prove his statement
Mr.. Allen points out that nearly 90 per
cent Of all eggs that are set in incu-
bators or under hens are fertile, and
SHOULD hatch strong chicks, yet only
30 to go per cent ever do.
Eggs should be collected three or
four times day, and from clean nests.
This prevents them from getting
chilled dirty and damp. Grade them
for size, color and shape. A bird
usually lays eggs of the type of the
one from which it was Matched. Keep
the eggs in dry room with tempera-
ture of so degrees f., and never hold
them more than six days before plac-
ing in the incubator. Eggs held IL
days will hatch 10 to Is per cent fewer
chicks than eggs only a week old.
Incubator rooms should not be cold.
The ideal temperature Is 20 degrees.
When the temperature is lower than
this the hatch will be retarded and
the chicks Of poor quality. A chick
Matched In twenty days is worth two
Matched in twenty-five.
The incubator should be leveled
to prevent uneven temperatures with
in the machine, all Thermometers tested
for accuracy. and the. machines disinr
fected. The manufacturers instfnc-
lions should be followed. Run the. in
cubator three days before putting in
the Matching eggs. Do not disturb
them for two days after they are set;
after that turn them twice daily. No
cooling is necessary during incubation.
especially during the months Of Feb
ruary, March and April.
The best temperature at which to
run a machine Is 103 degrees. Test
out all infertile eggs on the seventh
and fourteenth days. To prevent
chicks from dying in the shell, 1t is
often necessary to add moisture. This
can be judged by weighing the eggs
plus the Matching tray on the first day
and again on the seventh. The eggs
plus the tray should not weigh over
per cent less on the seventh day
than on the first.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1924-04-25
DOUIIM N(5TE[
SssSSSSS 1AAJO

Better not give tankage until the
chicks are three or four months old.
Try to find the stolen nests. Some
times a careless turkey lays where
the eggs easily roll out.
Any of the reputable brands Of dry
grain chick feed will prove excellent
as q ration for the poults.
Feed mixed grains in the morning
along with water or milk, then mash
at noon. and corn In the evening.
For incubating purposes, discard all
eggs that have improperly finished
shells or that are irregular in shape.
Keep the litter deep in the hen
house and make the hens work for
their grain. They will get lazy If you
do not make them scratch.
Do not hold eggs for four or six
weeks in warm room and then tell
your customers they are just "out of
the nest" They will know better.
The male is half of the breeding
flock. Be sure he has the vigor, that
he is true to his breed. that he has
capacity, and comes from stock which
has been bred to lay.

WOMEN NEED SWAMP-ROOT

Thousands Of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect It.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of
ambition, nervousness are oftentimes
symptoms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmers Swamp Root, physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get medium or large size bottle imme-
diately from any drug store. ~
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation. send ten cents to Dr..

Intestinal Disinfectant
for Control of Diseases

A good intestinal disinfectant, such
as bichloride of mercury; can be used
in the drinking water provided for the
poultry flock, as a means Of aiding in
the control of poultry diseases. This.
however, is but small part Of the
procedure in disease control and does
not strike at the real source Of the
trouble.
One Of the first steps in keeping the
poultry flock healthy is to dispose of,
by killing and burning, all birds af-
flicted with tuberculosis, fowl cholera
and other similar serious diseases. A
second step ID tossee that the two main
causes of disease, lack Of sanitation
and a condition Of lowered vitality.
are eliminated from the flock.
