Egg-Laying Difficulty
Is Very Easily Cured

II often happens that hen has DIFF
ficulty In laying an egg-probably n
particularly large doublc-yolked one.
Such n bird is easily detected. Not
only is she to be seen visiting the nest
again aud again without effect, but
she is ylsibly I'll at ease, crouching
about with tall down and generally
woe-begone appearance. The quickest
way to relieve her Is to give her two
teaspoonfuis Of castor oil tby means
Of clean fountain-pen fillerl, and
Immediately after to pour into the
vent two teaspoonfuls OF olive oil.
This will inevitably result IN the egg
being passed within mn hour or so.

Accidents Expensive

While humanitarian reason,
should be sufficient to make acct
dent reduction an important fac
tor in every business organization
there is, in addition, the fact that
accidents cost industry apploxi
mateIy $5,000,00O,0O0 annually.
An authority on the subject
states that IS per cent of all in
dustrial accidents can be prevent
ed through enforcement of proper
rules and that 10 per cent result
from improper physical conditions
n plants. Unpreventable accidents
constitute two per cent Of the to-
tai.

POULTRY
COCCIDIOSIS CAN
BE CONTROLLED

Drugs, no matter how impressive
their labels, are of no value in con
trolling coccidiosis, chick disease that
is fully as bad as 1t sounds.
The p0ultrymen who regularly
every spring lose chicks from this dis
ease might better put their faith in
inexpensive sanitation methods and
the feeding of milk to control c0ccidio-
sis, according to extension poultry
specialists at the Ohio State univer-
sity.
Scientists at the University OF Calf
fornia tried these medicines to control
eOccidiosis. HydrOchlOric acid. cate
chy, mixture of bichloride of mer.
curry and sulpho-ca.belates, potassium
dlchromate, powdered ipecac and his
mutli subnitrate. None Of the drugs
was effective.
THE disease can be controlled" the
Ohio specialists say, "by sanitation
and by liberal feeding of milk. The
milk helps by producing acidity in
the coca and by stimulating rapid
growth. The mash recommended by
the University of California is this:
Forty pounds of dry skim milk. 10
pounds of wheat bran, 30 pounds of
yellow corn meal, 20 pounds of ground
oats or barley.
Start feeding this mash as soon
as the presence of the disease is deter
mined. Keep the mash constantly be.
fore the chicks in hoppers. The es-
sentlal thing is to get sufficient milk
into the chick and to keep the house
and surroundings absolutely clean.
'Sick chicks should Immediately be
separated from healthy ones Burn
the dead ones"

Corn Is Important

Good yellow corn is very important
in mash and scratch feed. Difficulties
experienced with coarsely cracked
grains have caused some people to
not use 1t MS much as would other
wise be the case. When corn Is
cracked. 1t should be sifted aud the
finer parts put into the mash. The
remainder should then be used as
scratch grain. II fine parts Of cracked
grain are not fed IN tie mash, It will

athetically.
"And-d'ye know?-I rather fancy
that's just the kind of schemes a
law-breaker would concoct, if he
was planning a murder, and his
own life was at stake.
What really amazeS me is the
naive assumption of your investi-
gators that murderer gives no in
telligent thought whatsoever to his
future safety. It's rather touchin',

Markham grunted.
well, you can take it from me,
it was Cleaver himself who got that
summons"
II dare say you're right" Vance
conceded.
II merely suggested the possibility
Of deception, don't y know. The
only point really insist on is that
the fascinatin' Miss Odell was killed
by a man of subtle and superior
mentality"
and I, in truth" irritably re-
joined Markham, "insist that the
only men of that type who touched
her life intimately enough to have
had any reason to do it are Man
nix, Cleaver, Lindquist, and Spots
woode.
And further insist that not one
Of them can be regarded as a
promising possibility"

DEAR" said Vance serenely. They're
all possibilities-and one of them is
guilty"
Markham glared at him derisively.
'Well, we'll! So the case Is set
tied! Now, if you'll but indicate
which is the guilty one, I'll arrest
him at once, and return to my other
duties"
You're always in such haste, "
Vance lamented. why leap and
run?
1.-THE wisdom of the worlds phi

it, Festinatio tarda est.
"And the Koran says quite frank

as we entered the reception room of
his luxurious studio later that
morning my curiosity as to the OBJ
ject of our visit was at the break
ing point.
Vance went straight to the desk,
behind which sat a young woman
with flaming red hair and mas
caro-shaded eyes, and bowed in his
most dignif1ed manner.
Then, taking a small, unmounted
photograph from his pocket, he laid
it before her.
II am producing musical COM
edy, mademoiSelle," he said, land
I wish to communicate with the
young lady who left this picture OF
herself with me.
Unfortunately, I've misplaced her
card; but as her photograph bore
the imprint Of Brownies, I thought
you might be good enough to look
into your files and tell me who she
is and where I may find her"
He slipped a SIS bill under the
edge of the blotter, and waited with
an air of innocent expectancy.
The young woman looked at him
quizzically, and I thought de-
tected the hint Of smile at the
corners of her artfully rouged lips,
But after a moment she took the
photograph without a word and
disappeared through a rear door.
Ten minutes later she returned
and handed Vance the picture. Or
the back of it she had written a
name and address.
1.-THE young lady is Miss Alys La
Fosse, and she lives at the Belafield
Hotel"
There was now no doubt as Il
her smile.
"You really shouldn't be so care
less with the addresses of your ap-
plicants-some poor girl might lose
an engagement"
And her smile suddenly turned
into soft laughter.
''Mademoiselle," replied Vance
with mock seriousness, ''in the fu-
ture I shall be guided by your warn
ing"

here: Cleaver's out of it. He was

half past eleven"
"Is that, by any chance, the water
tight alibi you mentioned a mo-
ment ago?"
I'm my primitive legal way I con-
sidered it as SUCH" Markham re-
sented Vance's question.
1.-THE summons was handed him
at half past eleven; it's so marked
and dated. And Boonton is fifty
miles from here-a good two hours
motor ride.
Therefore, Cleaver unquestion-
ably left New York about half past
nine; and even if he'd driven direct
ly back, he couldn't have reached
here until long after the time the
medical examiner declared the girl
was dead.
"As a matter Of routine, I in
vestigated the. summons, and even
spoke by phone to the officer who
issued it.
"It was genuine enough-I ought
to know: had it quashed."

description of him. And naturally
he took the cars number"
Vance looked at Markham with
keen-eyed sorrow.
my dear Markham-my very
dear Markham-can't you see that
all you've actually proved is that
a bucolic traffic Nemesis handed a
specialization summons to a
smooth faced, middle aged, stout
man who was driving Cleaver's car
near Boonton at half past eleven on
the night of the murder?
"And, my world isn't that ex-
actly the sort of alibi the old boy
would arrange if he intended taking
the lady's life at midnight or there
abouts?"
"Come, comet" laughed Mark

start a bedtime story" he growled
The ironical aftermath of this
remark was that Vance did tell g
bedtime story" that night; but he
told it to me in the seclusion of his
own library; and the gist of it was
this:
Heath is committed, body anc
soul, to belief in Skeel'S guilt; anC
Markham is as effectively stranglec
with legal red tape as the poor
Canary was strangled with power
full hands.
'Eheu, Vanl There's nothing left
for me but to set forth tomorrow q
cappella, like Gaboriau's Monsieur
Lecoq, and see what can be done in
the noble cause Of justice.

RE had brought us our second cup
of coffee, however secretive a
woman may be, there's always some
one to whom she unburdens her

"A confidant is an essential to
the feminine temperament. 1t may
be a mother, or lover, or a priest,
or a doctor, or. more generally, a
girl chum.
I'm the Canary's case we haven't
a mother or a priest. Her lover
the elegant Skeel-was a potential
enemy; and we're pretty safe in
ruling out her doctor-she was too
shrewd to confide in such creature
as Lindquist.

the corner, and, selecting a dozen

THE STORY THUS FAR

The jewel case had been opened with
a steel chiSel after being battered with a
poker. This leads Vance to think that
the real murderer had not opened 1t, but
someone who was hiding in the closet
when the murder was committed. That
man, he thinks, was Skeel, whose finger
the strangled Margaret OdelI. Markham
ridicules the theory and Vance painstak-
ingly explains his reasons for thinking
the work of a highly intelligent man.

BAR CHARGES
! MORAL LAXITY
TO C. M. RAY
Application for Admission
as Attorney Fought
Before Court.

Application OF George M. Ray
who has figured prominently in In
diana politics for Is years, to be
admitted to the bar was opposed
by the. Marion County Bar aSSo-
citation Monday before Circuit
Judge Harry o. Chamberlin, on the
grounds that he cannot qualify I'M
der the good moral character"
clause.
One penitentiary term and three
other convictions were admitted by
Ray on the witness stand.
He then presented a claim that
he can qualify under the good
moral character" clause in the rules
governing admittance 10 the bar.
Judge POnders Matter
Judge Chamberlin took the mat
ter under advisement. He will rule
within few days.
The application was opposed by
Clarence w. Nichols, chairman, and
the Marion County Bar Association
committee on diSbarment.
Ray asked to be admitted to the
bar on the ground that he repre-
sents Miss Elnore Haig in several
matters which require the power
of attorney. Ray was represented in
court by Fred Van Mugs.
A parade of character witnesses,
many now holding public offices,
and others former State officials,
took the stand to maintain Ray is
of good moral character.
On cross examination, Nichols
asked whether the opinion of good
character is formed while consider
ing the convictions. Some answered
directly in the affirmative, while
others qualified their answers with
such as "All Of us have our bad
Sides" and 1T is possible to change
ones ways"
Several Witnesses Called
Among these witnesses were AL
Der T. Sahm, treasurer Of the State
Life Insurance Company, and for
mer postmaster; Edward Major,
former postmaster at Shelbyville
and now a field examiner for the
State board Of accounts; and j. c..
Henderson, former State auditor.
Ray as editor of why and the
Indiana Democratic Herald has fig
ured prominently in State politics,
particularly during campaigns.
One of the convictions, for crini-
nal libel, grew out of a newspaper
attack on the Criminal Court and
grand jury. The conviction was af-
firmed by the higher court, and
Ray served a 30-day sentence.
The first conviction was in 1901.
It was on charge of conspiracy
to make false affidavits in connec-
ton with supplies for Shelby Coun-
ty. At this time he was in the
printing business. On this convic-
! ton, Ray served Is months in the
penitentiary.
Tried On Federal Charge
The next conviction was in 1915
in Federal Court for sending obscene
matter through the mails. He was
fined $500 and costs.
Shortly afterward he pleaded gull
ty to bribery in connection with
Clay County school supply trans
action. The criminal libel conviction
followed that for bribery.

barment committee with Donovan
