High Egg Lay Helps Industry

One Of the outstanding factors
fayoring commercial egg produc-
ton in Washington is the ability
to secure high fall egg lay and
high annual production. Wash
ington leads all states in having the
highest average production per hen
which was 81 eggs in 1924. This
was a gain of % eggs per hen since
1919. Forty-six commercial flocks
in the state have an average lay of
l65 eggs per year.
Hens may be fed milk by put
ting the dry powder in their mash.
Eating too much in proportion
to the exercise one gets is one
cause Of increased weight.

TUNE, AND NOT NOISE,
NV NECESSARY IN MUSIC

BERLIN Modern music is as
dangerous as cocaine" Pietro Mas
cagni, the composer of "Cavalleria
Rusticana," said in an interview here
recently. 81 am not hostile to mod
ernity,'' he explained, "but do oppose
a tonality Music must be tune and not
noise"
'"The youth of today really knows
nothing of classical music, of Bellini,
of symphonic beauty Their sense OF
hearing has been corrupted by jazz" I"
the master added
Mascagni conducted for several ra-
dio concerts and phonograph records
while here He complained that his
duties as conductor leave him no time
for composition.
Replying to- the rumors that he had
gone over to operetta composition, he
said ssThe text of 'zarewitsch' was laid
before me; but, as you know, that be-
came a Lehar operetta and not Mas
cagni score"
The master voiced his displeaSure at
the combination of his "Cava1eria
Rusticana" and ST Pagliacci" into a
single evenings performance. "Years
agog' he said, 81 composed a one-aet
opera to be played with fCavalleria,
but my publishers and opera house
managers frustrated my intention and
refused to alter their traditional prac-
tice, which unites two widely different
compositions into single program"

BANK ROBBERY
CONFESSION IS
GIVEN in TRIAL

LA GRANGE, Texas, Dec. 10 N9-
Mrs. Rebecca Bradley Rogers, % year
old former University of Texas coed,
considered pleading guilty immediate
ly after her arrest last December for
the holdup of the Farmers National
Bank of Buda, Texas, it was testified
here today at her trial on q charge
of robbery with firearms.
Sheriff, George Allen of Hays county
told the jury that Mrs. Rogers, after
confessing the robbery of the bank,
expressed q desire to remain in Jail
until court met, "plead guilty and
then try to get parole in about
six months with you helping me-"
"I have gotten myself into this
and will get out of it myself" the
sheriff quoted her as saying.
Mrs. Rogers asked him to convey
word to her mother that she had
robbed the bank and was in Jail,
Sheriff Allen testified N
The defendant sat unmoved and
with eyes downcast while the officer
was on the stand.
After long argument by counsel,
Judge M. C. Jeffrey ruled that the
arrest of Mrs. Rogers was legal. The
defense had sought to show that
Sheriff Allen evaded court orders in
removing his prisoner from Austin,
where the arrest was made, to Hays
county, and that any testimony he
gave would be prejudiced.
The sheriff had testified Mrs. Rog-
ers confessed that after holding up
toiY c17
drove to Austin, placed loot and her
pistol in a candy box and mailed
it to herself at the state capitol,
where She was employed in the office
of Attorney General Dan Moody, now
governor.
In examining Sheriff Allen, the
defense indicated it would add to
its contention that Mrs rogers was
temporarily insane at the time of
the robbery, the plea that the pistol
she used in intimidating employees
of the bank was not firearm.
Robbery with firearms in Texas
may be punished by death.
The defense drew from Sheriff
Allen that the weapon contained no
magazine. He testified for the state,
however, that it contained one cart
ridge in the barrel.
When the state rested this after
noon, the defense began its attempt
to prove the defendant suffered fits
of insanity.
C.. A. Wheeler, assistant attorney
general at the time MIS-. Rogers
was an employe of the department,
testified that he thought she was
insane.

uTHUANIA AND
POLAND COME
TO AGREEMENT

GENEVA, Switzerland. Dec. 10 H9-
Poland and Lithuania formally de-
clared themselves at peace at a
special session of the council of the
league of nations tonight. They
agreed to enter into direct negotia-
tions Win each other for the settle
ment of their differences. This prob
ably means that full diplomatic re-
lationS will be restored shortly.
Premier Waldemaras, of Lithuania,
and M. zaleski, Polish foreign min
lister, announced before the council
that they accepted the PoliSh-Lithu-
a1ian settlement.

tiations to restore good relations. The
report was adopted by the council.
Among other things the report rules
that the Lithuanian protest regarding
Poland'S treatment of minorities shall
be examined by a committee of the
league council.
The settlement was reached in one
of the briefeSt and most surprising
meetings the council ever held
Called hurriedly from all kinds OF
social functions, the members sat
together for brief Is minutes. There
was much handshaking and exchange
of congratulations when the an
nouncement was made that Poland
and Lithuania had come to an amic-
able understanding. The council
members as hurriedly dispersed to
resume their interrupted social and
carnival festivities.
Outside, well dressed crowds were
occupied with the carnival fetes, and
very few of the general public thus
happily engaged, had taken the
trouble to triclSle into the council hall
where such an unusual and memor-
able meeting was held.
Prerniers Pilsudski and Waldemaras
have agreed to enter into direct
negotiations as soon as possible in
order to establish relations between
their two states which will "insulfa
a good understanding between the
nations, upon which peace depends .

dentsor threat of an incident between
Poland and Lithuania, the secretary
general of the league of nations and
Jcnkheer Beelaerts Van Blokland, the
official reporter, shall be advised ano
shall consider steps necessary to bring
about a better feeling.

TEACH FUTURE STARS
TO SHRUG SHOULDERS

PARIS R-Shrugging shoulders,
waving arms, talking with hands all
are part of newly organized class Of
instruction in Frances national con-
servatory of dramatic art.
1t has been popularity supposed-at
least in other countries-that the
French already we're sufficiently elo-
quent in this silent language. The
conservatory officials, however, think
the language of hands needs a little
study in its grammar and every dra-
matte student hereafter must attend a
class where this physical expression
and general department are taught.
The Frenchman cannot, like the
American, jam his hands in his coat
or trousers pocket when he doesn't
know what else to do with them.
That's something that is reasonably
bad form over here. How, where, why
and when to dispose of hands on the
stage, therefore, is one of the depart
mentS of this class 1t always, of
course, has been an incidental part of
dramatic training, but it is to have
more attention now
1t is in the conservatory, created
during the French Revolution in 1796,
that future stars are trained for the
government theaters., Those who pass
with honors get jobs Immediately. The
less promising ones fare forth to hunt
their own employment. There is al
ways a hard contest for admission, as
only 40 or SO are admitted out of sew
eral hundred candidates.

UHLANS LOSE LANCES
HINDER LATEST RULES

. BERLIN P)--The h.a.orical German
uhlans with their formidable lances
have been definitely relegated to the
past by the latest edict of the chief
military command, eliminating the
lance from the future cavalry equip
inent
Originally, uhlans were the only
cavalry body equipped with this
weapon, which, however, in 1889 was
introduced in all German cavalry regi-
ments, which frequently led to the er-
roneous appellation of "uhlans" for
German cavalry of any description.
The present edict was inspired by the
wish to alleviate the more versatile
drilling Of cavalry and, by the exclu-
sion of the cumbersome lance, to in
crease that body's firing efficiency in
battle.
