Materials Necessary
for Producing EGGS

Every egg must nave shell Bones
also require minerals. Both bones
and shells are largely made up Of cal
cium. Without the necessary calcium
laying hens will lack the materials
necessary for producing eggs Even
though enough other feed may he SUI
piled to furnish the necessary mute
rails for a large number of eggs a
hen cannot lay more eggs than she
has shell material fer.
Considerable experimental data hus
been compiled which SLOWS definitely
that plentiful supply of minerals has
a marked effect on lie number Of eggs
laid. In addition to plentiful supply
of oyster shell or other high calcium
mineral. hens need free access TO II
supply of sharp sand to aid them in
dlgesting their feed These items rep
resent n small cost to the producer
but make d large difference in the net

Growing poultry also requires Il lib
eral supply ot minerals. In addition

YELLOW CORN IS

Yellow corn should constitute AT

HANDLING 0F NEWS SEVERELY SCORED
Publisher Himself CriticiZS
 Modern Methods

Columbia, Mo, May 10 Rl-Three indictments of American journalism sensational treatment of crime news, unwholesome scandal and the unlimited handling of pending crim- inal caaes--appear to Stuart H. Per ry, publisher of the Adrian, Mich, Telegram. as having the most justi- flcation among all the criticisms of the press. MT. Perry, who is a direc- tor of the Associated Press, was here today for a journalism week address at the University of Missouri.
 In an analysis of criticisms the Michigan publisher spoke of "the degrading moral effect caused by printing unwhoiesome details of crime, divorces. scandals and sex stories, the crime-producing effect of sensational publicity in criminal eases and the direct interference with the administration of justicc through unbridled treatment ot crime stories" These things, he said "are matters which so strongly in- ! vite positive regulation as to chaI. lenge our most thoughtful consider ation."
 Disapproving a general censorship Mir. Perry said the possibility ol curbing by law the excess of vel. low jornalism" should not be re. Earded by publishers as something to be opposed.
 | Newspapers, he though, should welcome and cooperate in "a wise 1 effort to abolish trial by newspaper | reform that is feasible and indis putably for the public benefit"

Cherbough, France, May 10 Fl-- After summoning a physician to come by airplane to treat him and causing international complications, Moses Taylor. New York capitalist , was bound for New York aboard the steamship Olympic. The nature and seriousness of Mr. Taylor's ill., ness was not known here.
 Mir. Taylor. who is director and officer of Banking Industrial. Rail- ! way and Public Utility corporations, was ill aboard the yacht Yolanda lying in Cherbourg Roads and sum- moned 8 Dr. Hearn by wireless from London.
 Dr. Hearn arrived by plane and boarded the yacht. French auth critics immediately threatened to arrest him for landing on French soil without permit and also be- cause he had no passport. They also sent officials to confiscate the plane, but it had flown back to England before they arrived.
 In the meantime, Dr. Hearn re- mained safely aboard the Yolanda and his patient started for home aboard the Olympic. Later the Yo- landa sailed 10 England wtesi Dr. Hearn aboard and safely out of reach of French officials.

 The wood comes not from a live tree but from rotting chunks of log in the jungle. It is the almost imperishable heart of fallen trunk that the ants and worms have picked clean of bark and sapwood. After the layer of decayed wood is chopped away the deep red, sound and solid wood comes to view.
 For years vague tales of the rare wood were heard. but previous ef- forts to obtain it or to find its source failed.

POLICE BAFFlED
 BY TWO ATTACKS
Search for Youth Who Is Alleged
 Responsible

Washington, May 10 R-Wash- ington and Maryland police were cooperating in a widespread search today for a youth believed to have been responsible for an attack last night on Leonard w. Kephart. de- partment Of agriculture scientist, and an attempt to abduct F. Percival Wilson. bank official.
 Kephart. left unconscious and stripped of most of his clothing after the attack, turned up later for treatment in Soldiers Home hospital and this morning was taken to his home in nearby Takona Park. Md.
 Wilson frustrated his captor's ef- forts, whatever they may have been. by attacking him and gaining pos- session of his pistol after the man had driven him a mile away from the rear of his home in nearby Chevy Chase, Md. Wilson is secretary of the National Savings and Trust conn., pany. of this city.
 Police believe the same man was responsible for both the attack and the strange holdup of Wilson be- cause Kepharts automobile was used to spirit the bank official away. Thought Killed It was first thought that Kep- hart, an agronomist in clover in- vestigations. possibly had been killed. as q second pistol. with one car fridge exploded. was found in the automobile used by Wilson's abduc- tor after the bank official seized an- other from the man.
 kephart was on his way to the de- partment Of agriculture to do some work on a scientific paper last night. He told police that while driving through Soldiers Home grounds he was stopped by q man who ap- peared to be sick. Asking him what he wanted, the man pulled some- thing from his pocket and struck Kephart over the head, rendering him unconscious.
 Regaining consciousness, the scientist found his trousers and shoes zone and severe cut on his head His automobile also had been taken. He managed to walk to the soIdiers' Homo hospital nearby and had his wound dressed, and then returned home.
 All this information came 10 the police after Wilson had reported his experience to. them. The banker said he was about to leave his gar age about lo:So o'clock last night when . man, about e5 years old. pressed pistol in his ribs and or- dered him to get In his car. They drove about . mile down Connecticut avenue toward Chevy Chase lake, during which, Wilson said, he was forced to kneel down in the car. Believing the man wanted money. Wilson said he vel- unteered what funds he had. but the man refused, saying:
 "Thts is going to be something new"

Suspicious Character Vlnishes Into Darkness lt 1:M !. n.

At l:30 o'clock this morning, Of- hcer Thomas Blanchette saw man drop q bicycle and run through . yard at the corner of Stanley and Pleasant streets. Giving chase, the officer commanded the man to stop and when he did not obey, the of- . ficer fired a shot in the air. Still the man continued to run and the off, cer could not overtake him. Accom- panied by Sergeant Feeney, Ofhcer Blanchette searched the yards in the neighborhood but could not find any trace ot the fellow. He appear ed to be about 5 feet, II inches in height, and was wearing a gray coat and 2. soft hat.
 Officer Edward Carroll was stand ing in front of the nurses home on Hawkins street at .:15 o'clock this morning when a man walking west on Hart street started towards him and made a move as if to draw . pistol from his pocket. The ofYicer ordered him to halt but the man wheeled about and made q dash into a yard at 63 Hart street. Hav- ing considerable start he eluded the officer and a search of the yards in and about Hart street by Sergeant lreeney. Officers Carroll and Doty was fruitless. The man was bare headed and appeared to be about 5 feet. , inches in height, with bushy hair, and was wearing q brown shirt and khaki trousers.
 At II o'clock. Officer William J. Mccarthy was on East Main street and saw Angelo Paladino of 1o5 '.awlor street peering around the corner at Wilson street. The officer met him a monEnt or two later and asked him why he was in the neighborhood. Paladino first said he lived on Elm street but then gave his correct address and said he was taking walk. On Wilson street, two other young men were apparently waiting for Paladino, and after they had walked throukl, several streets. the officer. accom- panied by Paladino, met them conn., ing from Newington avenue, on East street.

VALUABLE PAPERS AID ID FORGERS Enable Them to Better Initiate
 HandElidn6

New York, May 10 P,-The busi- ness man may find his desk con- venient place to keep check books. bank books, bank statements and cancelled vouchers, but those who know say the convenience Is appre- ciated equally by the modern pro- fessional forger.
 Tho foreer may appreciate the convenience even more than the business man, for 1t providea an opportunity to obtain the necessl- ties for forgery.
 Ferdinand $. Gillespie, assistant superintendent of claims for the United States Fidelity and Guar anty company. who spends much of his time investigating "mystcri- ous" forgery cases in tho financial district, tells The Associated Press that the ''nyStery' would cease to rnystify if business men only would keep cancelled vouchers. bank books and statements and check books in the safe instead of in desk drawers.
 "rt they'd do that" Gillespie ex- plained. "The professional forgers wouldn't find it 50 easy to operate. I know of cases where one member of band of forgers entered an of- flee, ostensibly on business. An- other of the gang called on the tel- ephone or used some other means te draw the business man away from his desk. While he was out of the office the caller took what he came fora cancelled check. . bank statement or maybe only a letter, anything having on it the business mans signature. A few days later the business man was informed by his bank that hts &C., count had been overdrawn-and there's another mystery"
 Organized bands are said to ert,- ploy this method with considerable success. obtaining thousands of dollars and leaving a city before bank records can indicate . dis crepancy.
 Equally efficient waa the method employed by another gang which sone time ago got jobs for its members with the staff of an office building near Wall street. They } obtained from virtually every office complete sets of checkA bank statements, signatures and other needed material and information. Piece by piece they placed the loot in envelopes addressed 10 their headquarters and mailed them through the buildings letter chute.
 No suspicious were aroused when cashiers Of banks were requested in notes on tho letter-heads of rep utable firms and ostensibly signed by prominent business men to 'csr- tify checks presented by bearer" {" nor were clerks of suburban banks suspicious when accounts were opened by strangers depositing cer- tified checks. Everything was done in such a normal, business-like way that the gang cleaned up thousands of dollars and was safely out of the city before the occupants of the various offices began to find out they had a common bond of sympa- thy-mutual financial losses rum ming into thousands of dollars.
