e., once overheard a rather ami
mated discussion of the relative
merits Of natural and artificial
means of Matching eggs. Each side
of the question had it's ardent cham
pions, each of which was absolutely
sure that his view was the only one
possible for any person of good
judgment. In the course of the de-
bate, one young fellow remarked
that you couldn't depend on hens
because they were too darned tenn
peramental. "W-a-a-p drawled one
rather ancient defender of natures
methods, "if you kin find anything
more temperamental than one of
them there innykewbaters, I'd like
to see it,"
That reply indicates a point of
view that was once quite a bit more
general than it is now. There was
unquestionably a time, not so long
ago at that, when the incubator was
not the reliable machine it is today.
Nowadays, a good up-to-date incu-
bator that is run according to in
structions is equally as dependable
in its own way as the family clock.
1t is hardly an exaggeration to say
that a good modern incubator prac-
ticamlly runs itself. If there are any
temperamental interferences with
the progress of artificial Matching,
it is more usually shown in the
operator than in the machine.
1 realize that the question as to
which is better, the hen or the in
cubator, is still debatable one to
many people. 1 can best answer
that question by saying that when
the use of hens is possible, just as
good results are possible as can be
obtained with the best of incubators
and vice versa. There is really no
difference in results when proper
methods are employed in the use of
both. There are, however, a num-
ber of limitations to the use of hens
which under certain circumstances
make the use of incubators abso-
lutely necessary.
A hen cannot go broody at will
and there is no known way to make
her do so to suit the convenience
,of her owner.
This business of broodiness must
also be considered where very large

POLICE FORCE VETERANS
BEING FINGERPRINTED

Many of the older men on the police
force are nowadays undergoing what 1t
is to them a novel experience-being
photographed and f1ngerprinted by the
experts at police headquarters.
The personnel system devised by In
spector William s. Shelby, when he was
made personnel off1cer under Mai. Ed
win B. Hesse. called for flngerprints
and photographs of every man on the
force as part Of his personnel record.
At that time the practice of finger
printing and photographing the men
was confined to the recruits, as they
came on the force. In order to COM
plete the records for everyone. how
ever, an order was recently sent out
calling all who had not gone through
the process to headquarters to leave
their Identification marks behind.
Mai. Henry @. Pratt, chief of police,
commenting on the order, said there
was no significance to it other than
the completion of personnel records.
Policemen have been known to go
wrong" he added, land fngerprints
would be of assistance in those cases.
But that is not the reason for the
order"

TENTATIVE SUGAR
TARIFF PREPARED
Smoot for Sliding Scale From
! to 2.40 Cents on
Cuban Product.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The movement for q sliding scale
tariff on sugar gained momentum to-
day on the strength Of the progress
made by Chairman smoot Of the Sen
ate finance committee In his study Of
the subject.
Convinced Of the feasibility Of what
he regards as an essential preliminary
step, the elimination Of the 20 per
cent preferential reduction allowed on
Cuban sugar, the Utah Senator has
prepared tentative substitute for the
fixed duty.
Prepared Sliding Scale.
Instead of the fixed duty of 1.76
cents a pound now levied on Cuban
sugar, or the 240-cent rate proposed
in the House bill which the committee
Is considering, his plan calls for .
sliding scale from 1 cent to $40 cents,
rising as the price Of sugar declines
and vice versa.
Proponents of the sliding scale idea
have argued that it would protect con-
sumers as well as producers, and Presi-
dent Hoover has expressed himself in
favor of any arrangement which would

he is not committed to any particular
plan.
Trade Treaty Considered.
In some administration quarters 1t
has been felt that the 2.40-cent rate
voted by the House would, If made
permanent, prove to be too high at
times, but Smoot was not willing to
60 ahead with the sliding scale pro-
posal until he was sure that Congress,
through an act putting ID into effect,
was In q position to supercede the pref
erential treatment accorded Cuban
sugar under the 1903 trade treaty.
Supreme Court decisions. he now be-
lieves, have established that treaties
and acts of Congress are on q parity,
so that "a treaty becoming law may
supercede q prior act Of Congress and
an act Of Congress may supercede a
prior treaty"
