with the problem of, say, installing
a new accounting system, will well
come the opportunity of coming to
an exhibit where he may see display
ed accounting machinery of all the
leading manufacturers. A large var
iety of accounting machinery will,
of course, be part of the permanent
exhibit, but on bank accounting day
there will be on display every con-
ceivable type of accounting equip
ment and in addition an outstanding
figure in this industry will be in
vited to address the visitors and
outline the latest developments in
this field. Furthermore, experts
will be on hand to discuss the in
dividual problems of the visitors.
"This plan of special exhibits will
apply to every branch of Office build

Among the special days which
have been planned are bank presi-

In the roistering days of the old
Wild West, the fellow who was
I, quickest at getting his gun into ac-
tom had the best chance for long
lifE Consequently, it was not sur
pNsing that men spent hours prac-
1cing the art of beating the other
fellow to the draw. Their lives might
some day depend on it. Today, far
less effort invested in preventive
measures would save the lives Of
thousands of fowls that now are
sacrificed annually.
For one thing, too little attention
is often paid to wedding out the
unfit. Chicks that are obviously de-
formed or hopeless weaklings should
be killed at once. Weaklings con-
tract diseases that healthy, well de-
veloped chicks would throw off cas-
lily, thus making easy the spread of
trouble among the rest of the flock
1t is most certainly false economy or
none at all to save some of the fowls
one often sees in flocks otherwise
fairly well cared for,
Another way to beat trouble to the
draw is to adopt every possible
means for eliminating vermin of
every description. Lice, mites, ticks
and all other such pests sap the
vitality of fowls to a point where
they easily become prey to all sorts
of diseases. Constant vigilance is
needed to guard fowls against these
tiny enemies. They should be in
spected periodically and busted with
a good Lice Powder if there are any
parasites on their bodies. Lice Pow
der should be added to the dust
bath and let the hens use this at
will. Their quarters should be thor
oughly cleaned out at frequent in
terYals and every nook and Granny

inevitable in any outreach for mass

interest everybody at least a little, in

Tariff NIenaces Tax Cut

Washington, Dec. 6 Pl-Prompt action by the senate on the admin istration's s1GO,OOO.000 tax reduc- ton program was menaced today by the tariff bill and a renewal of the raging controversy which it aroused in the special session.
 Although it bore the endorsement of leaders of both parties, spokcs- men for the coalition of democrats and independent republicans, in control of tariff debate, would not be long delayed.
 With the disposition of the Ware care during the day made certain by previous agreement, a choice between the tariff and tax projects for subsequent consideration clear ly was made necessary. Chairman Smoot of the finance committee set aside an early hour to get his com- mittee together to report out the tax resolution.
 Smoot and the rest of the repub- liCan regulars were desirOus of put ting the tax resolution, providing a one year reduction of one per cent in all normal rates on income, ahead of the tariff measure. while likewise favoring early passage of the duty revision bill, they felt the tax proposal would take only day or two of the senate's time.
 Simmons Opposes Move
 SF North Carolina, ranking democrat on the finance committee. had served notice that he would oppose any attempt to sidetrack the tariff bill, and Senator Borah of Idaho, q leader of the republican indepen- dents, also was as firmly against this procedure without a definite und erstanding that assured an early vote on the tax proposal.
 Democrats for a long time have favored and still favor tax reduc- ton legislation" Simmons said, but in their judgment that realiZa- ton would not be injuriously re- tarded by going ahead with the tariff bill and expeditng it's finish as quickly as possible"
 Democratic leaders predicted the tax reduction resolution would be passed quickly. once it got before the senate, although they were 1n-
