CONTEST WITH NEW
IN MAIL PAY CASE
Newspaper Publishers Challenge
Postmaster Generals Motion to
Bar Them From Intervening.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has been asked by the American
Newspaper Publishers Association to
deny a motion filed by Postmaster
General New on March 26 in an effort
to prevent the publishers from inter
vening in the railway mail pay case
now pending before the commission.
The publishers challenged the right
Of the Postmaster General to consid
GRAFTON before the commission at this
time, on the ground that he failed to
move against them within the time
prescribed by the rules of the COM
mission governing it's procedure.
In addition to challenging his right
to consideration, they vigorously at
tackled both the Postmaster General
and the railroads on the ground that
both principals in the present pro-
ceedings have joined forces TO pre-
vent q consideration of the public in
terest by the commission.
Your petitioner not only denies
that the business of collecting
handling and distributing the mails Is
a monopoly the petition read, but
1t also insists that it has an interest.
a vital one, in the compensation paid
to the railroads for the carriage of
the mails. 1t was surprised that the
railroads should have based their
original motion on an allegation of a
monopoly. which, in fact, does not
exist. 1t is even more surprised. that
the Postmaster General now has
Joined them in such a plea to this
commission.
Your petitioner has already called
TO the attention of this commission
the diversity and the extent of the
competitive services engaged in by
the Post Office Department.: the effort
of Congress to put the purely busi-
ness functions of that department,
especially as regards transportation,
on a sound business basis, and the
failure of the Postma ster General and
his department to conform to the
wishes Of Congress and to meet the
demands Of business practice"

COOLIDGE EXPLAINS
INCOME: TAX GAIN
Believes Stimulation to Busi-
ness Resulted in Big In
crease in Revenue.

President Coolidge believes the in
creased income tax collections for
March resulted largely from stimu-
lated business. which had antici-
pated a tax reduction.
II was emphas sized at the White
House Yesterday evening. however.
that although income tax receipts
were about S6O.000.000 above March
last year. Congress should hold
down on proposed increases in
nern1anent expenses of the Govern
ment to guard against possible
deficit in the fiscal year ending June
80. 1927.
Far Above Estimates.
Final statistics issued by the
Treasury showed collections Tor
March were slightly less than $780,
Ona. .Gna. or 500. 600. 900 more than II
vas estimated would be received. hut
no surprise over the heavy receipts
was shown at the White House.
In fact. President Coolidge believes
the large collections were quite
natural He holds the opinion, how
eyer. that the returns for the next
three quarters of the year under the
new tax law will materially decrease
and that the full effect of the wide
spread tax reductions ordered by Con
grese will not he felt until the end of
the year.
One reason for the heavy collec-
tons this quarter. as seen by the
President. is the likelihood that many
taxpayers already have paid their to-
tai tax. rather than use the quarterly
installment system.
Next Year Is Problem.
The President had counted on the
Treasury surplus. which appears in
eritable at the end of this fiscal year,
June 80. but II is the next fiscal year
for which Congress is now appropriate
ing. that is causing him concern.
The gross public debt of the Nation
was cut during March to $20,0S2, ,740,
cal. or by $193, ,402 ,049, the Treasury
stated At the same time the general
.und chargeable also against the debt
was increased from $340. 1871 ,406 tC

the debt during the month actually
amounted to $3.50 .512,4S9.

The trial of Lieut.. William H. Faga

veteran, before a general court-martial
at the navy yard here. was opened
this morning with heated debate be-
tween opposing counsel over the ignor-
ance or knowledge of the nine naval
and marine officers sitting on the
court of the duties of officers in the
Marine Corps. The dispute was set
tied definitely when the court ruled on
two points that it did not need the ad-
vice of a quartermaster sergeant, who
was presented as prosecution wit
ness.
Capt T. T. Taylor, judge advocate,
declared emphatically, there are six
naval officers, members of this court.

duties of a quartermaster sergeant in

Marine officers who probably do not
know any more"
Van DOren Makes Retort.
Lucien II. Van Doren. chief defense
counsel. retorted that to adduCe such
testimony regarding such marine reg
ulations served to 'stultify the
court" and asked that the serGeant's s
testimony be stricken out. The court
sustained Van Doren.
The sergeant, Earl Smith. an over
seas man, who has been quartermas-
ter sergeant at the Annapolis post un-
der Lieut. Faga, testified that the ac-
cused officer had made no actual phys
ical inventory of the arms accouter-

They covered a course in two months
that would have taken them a year by

Lieut.. Macready described how high

said that of the three obstacles to sky
climbing the cold is the least, lack of
oxygen Is the next and lowered air
pressure Is the greatest.
Effects on Machine.
It is not the aviator but the ma

plane attains it's highest the aviator
usually remains there 20 or 25 min

whether he can force the plane few

Chapman Has Slogan for Ma
tional Egg Day
Keep better hens for more wealth
Use more eggs for better health.
Slogan proposed by N. E. Chap
man for National Egg Day, May l.
and all other days Of the year.
The objects of National Egg
Day" are, first, to call attention to
the Importance of the poultry indus
try in state and nation; to acknowl-
edge the hen as the most popular
and economical producer of human
food; to recognize the food value Of
eggs and their place in the family
diet, and to encourage an increase in
the per capita consumption of eggs.
While the average production of
Minnesota hens in 1925 surpassed
the production of the fiocks of any
other state in the west-north-central
division, according to government re-
ports, it is a fact that Minnesota con-
sumes less eggs per capita than any
of the west-north-central states.
Co-operators helping the Mime
sofa committee to make National Epg
Day observance success are the
Minnesota State Poultry Breeders as

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

| ton and consumption. 1t Is inter
esting to watch the wonderful strides
of today in producing wealth, but
it is of at least equal Importance how
this money is spent, and the home is
the center of the consumption OF this
wealth. 1t has been said by students
of Home Economics that the great
est financial losses come through the
home. If this be true then women
should begin to have a better under
standing of the practice of economy
in the home. First, they should help
and encourage in every way to in
crease the income, and second to les
sen the expenditures. 1t is not al
ways what we earn, but how that Is
spent, that insures the best economy
and results in perfect, or nearly per.
feet household management. At the
present time the difficulty with the
housekeeper is not so much that she
has lack of income, as that she does
not always spend wisely.
Women are almost having their
first real awakening to the fact that
they must acquire more knowledge
and skill to do the work in the home
successfully and thus live better and
have greater enjoyment and prosper
| ity.
Home-making is, or should be, q
business The home has close bust
ness relations with the grocer, butch
err, merchant and bank and in fact
the business world in general anG
only business-like methods can sue,

your daughters and train them in
systematic household management
and home-making and there will be
fewer financial losses in the business
world.

Poultry Hints
AS space in this paper is limited
feel 1 cannot say much this week
about the chickens. just want to
bring your attention to the time when
you are taking off that long looked
for, 1--WE hope a perfect hatch). Now
just stop and think that the temperar
ture in which those baby chicks were
Matched was from 102 to 104 de-
grees. The thing for us to do now
is to be very careful and not change
them too GO or 70 degrees tenn
perature before the little fellows are
able to stand it. You know 60 or 70
degrees is just comfortable for u.s.
and thenfore we are very prone ia
take the chicks out and put them
where it is "just comfortable"-per-
haps for us but not for the baby
chicks Some cases of supposed
"white diarrhea" is not that at all
but only sickness caused from the
little chicks becoming chilled.

(By Mrs. M. T. Upton)

=
Since 1 have started to write the
poultry hints for the Herald, there
have been a great many requests for
the Household Department. So l am
again writing a household depart
ment. p, sec
When l began writing for the News
I gave the Housekeeper's Greed,
which / believe is worth repeating
for the benefit of those who did not
read it at that time. l believe if
every house wife could feel about
her work as this creed teaches us we
should feel, there would not be so
many women who would look upon
house work as drudgery.
The creed reads as follows:
l believe housekeeping and cooking
is and should be interesting and
worthy work and that the majority of
women would enjoy it if they had
the opportunity to know more of its
science; that it must be considered
elevating highest art-and not
a mental and brainlesS occupation {.
If a man is ashamed of his work
or occupation there is no reason why
a women should be ashamed of hers.
I believe before marriage every
woman should show to the man she
is to marry that she thoroughly un-
derstands the work of making and
keeping the home on perfectly sys-
tematic and business basis as much as
the man has shown her that he has a
profession or business capable OF
providing the income for the main
- 90 onI fonol1u
l believe that marriage is life
partnership with mutual interests as
we'll as love; a partnership of square
dealing and equally shared response
bilities, and should not be entered in
to from any other motive.
1t is reasonable to suppose that the
young woman should be able and will
ing to keep house as conscientiously
as she has taught school or music or
used the typewriter.
Can you use the salary of the
young man wisely, economically and
so that each of you saving little for
the proverbial "rainy day." This
question should be answered before
marriage. I believe home making,
housekeeping, and all that goes with
it is not drudgery, is not a narrow
sphere for the woman, but that is the
very highest type of living. l be-
lieve with the poet Emerson "He who
gives us better homes, better books,
better tools-a fairer outlook and
wider hope-him will be crowned
with laurels." What constitutes
Household Management? Not many
years ago everything made to meet
the needs of the people was created
in the home.
Now, as different shops and factor
les have taken most of the produc-
ton and developed them into large
and fourishing industries and man.
ufacturies, there are two problems al
ways to face, and these are-produc-
