Schools Not to Be Used in Plan To Spread Prohibition Propaganda
 Doran Declares Alter First Tale
Pamphlet to Be Used By Pupils Causes Woman Who Prepared It to Be Called Into
 Conference With Officials

Washington, June 26 R,-Sugges- tions that the public school system was to be used by the prohibition bureau for dissemination of enforce ment propaganda have brought an emphatic denial of any such intent from the treasury department.
 Follows First News
 The denial of the wrong impress sion," as Prohibition Commissioner Doran described 1t. followed swiftly on the publication of pamphle. containing suggestions for the incor- poration of prohibition information in eight school study subjects, to- gether with slogans supporting pro- hibition and admonitions to teach CTS to help toward enforcement.
 The pamphlet was made public by Anna B. Sutter, director of the statistical and educational division of the bureau. with the explanation that she would display the proposed

other man, a foreman, draws SIP week more than other similarly em- ployed, but it is noted on the roll that he receives $2 a day for the use of his own automobile.
 Hiring Of. Steam Silovels
 The alderman also objected to the payment of $720 a week for steam shovel hire. This item, Paymastcr McGrath pointed out today, is for two shovels charged at the rare commonly paid by municipalities. If the alderman's suggestion were to be followed out and shovels pur- chased instead of being hired. the city would have expensive equip ment in it's storeyard for possibly two-thirds of the year. since they would seldom be in used for great CT periods of time, the public works department claims. It is economy to hire the equipment of private contractors since they are in a posi- ton to take other contracts when not employed by the municipality, whereas the department of public works would be debarred from going out and excavating cellars, etc, ac- cording to the, reasoning of the de- partment.
 Truck Appropriation Denied
 In the case of truck hire, also objected to by the alderman, the same condition is true to a certain extent since. 1t is explained, there is steady employment for only a few trucks and others, f city-owned would be lying idle and depreciating in value.
 Engineer Merriam said today that the department has consistently aimed to enlarge it's fleet of trucks. but appropriations have been denied. this year being no exception. An allowance of $2,00O was refused this year.
 Under the present scheme, trucks are available whenever needed. They are engaged on an hourly basis and as soon as the work is done. tn :. truck is sent away and the time kept to the half-hour. the expense of the equipment ending when it is no longer needed. This would be im- possible if fleet was maintained large enough to be ready for emer- gencies. it is set forth in further argument for the present plan.
 For one-ton trucks, $15 day is paid, and for the largest used, $50 a day is the fee. Alderman Falk said he regarded the charge as ex- cessive. but the department of pub lie works is not of the same opin- ion. claiming that this payment in- cludes the driver of the car, covers the investment in the truck. gaso- line, oil, repairs, storage and liabil- ity insurance. as we'll as avoiding depreciation losses.

A. G. Hawker of Nash fame had his silhouette in the paper-The New Britain Herald last evening. He is very well known for there were over Is guesses. As Marjorie kreck of 90 Chapman street has sent in nice letter. the editor won't go into detail about Mir. Hawker. Here's the letter:
 The salesman thus described in the Herald last evening as "one who disposes of his wares by calling them out in the street." I presume is A. G. Hawker who deals in Nash cars. His place of business is at 5S Elm street. No wonder Jimmy Moran ought to know him. When it comes to planning auto shows MT. Hawker sure is on the dot witl, the most specific ideas and modes of decorating and such.
 AS dealer he sure ought to be complimented for that winning smile and those courteous and appealing words of communication. He cer- tainly sees 10 it that no one that buys one of his cars or maybe more than one that is he carries various models) never frets or frowns. but goes sailing through many towns with a great deal of pride, for the car never fails to climb the hills He is a daily advertiser in my daily paper.

Poultry tuberculosis
Widespread in Spots

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
Tuberculosis in poultry t1ockS has
been found much more prevalent than
was suspected, and III many counties,
especially in some of the North Cen
trail states, the disease is present to
a greater or less extent in about 70
per cent of the docks, according to
the United States Department of Agri-
culture.
Tuberculosis birds show loss of vigor
and flesh, lameness, swollen joints,
dropping, and general uuthriftiness.
I. &. in poultry can be definitely dag
nosed by a post-mortem or by the
tuberculin test given by veterin-
arian.
If the disease is discovered in the
poultry flock, all diseased birds should
be Immediately killed and burned, and
the remaining fowls over one year old
should be marketed. The chicken
house should be thoroughly cleaned
and disinfected, and moved TO clean
ground. Lots and runways should be
ploWed up and seeded to some grain
crop, and a new start made on clean
ground with young, healthy, vigorous
birds of good breeding Avian tuber-
culosis is doubly harmful in that 1t
affects swine as we'll as poultry.

POULTRY
FATS
FEAT AND LIGHT
MEAN MORE EGGS
Maintain Feed Consumption
in Sudden Cold Spells.

Heat and light in the hen house
mean more eggs when eggs are high
in price. And the purpose of both
heating and lighting is to keep the
laying hen eating as much feed as she
can be persuaded to take.
No slump in egg production is likely
to accompany a sudden cold snap if
the normal feed consumption is main
tanned, according to the poultry hus-
bandry department of the Ohio State
university. One method of controlling
the temperature is through insulation
of the chicken house. This, however,
may nearly double the cost of the
structure. Some poultry men are find
ing that by placing brooder stoves in
the laying houses and firing them dur
ing the extremely cold weather, they
can sufficiently raise the temperature.
In case neither insulation nor artificial
heat is practicable the poultry special
lists recommend the feeding of small
quantities of milk moistened mash and
small quantities of grain, at frequent
intervals during the day.
When artificial lights are used to in
crease egg production, they should not
be used TO give more than total of
II hours of light day. Failure to
supply lights regularly, or to provide
water and feed when the lights go on,
also give bad results.

FEED SOLDIER ON
81 CENTS A DAY
Food Best in History of United
States Army.

Washington.- Soldiers are getting
the best food served in the history of
the United States army and it is cost
ing the government only 81 cents
day per man, the annual report of
Maj. Gen Frank B. Cheatham, quar-
termaster general, shows.
Extension Of the use of rayon, adop-
ton Of roll collar overcoat5, and plans
to provide mounted troops with leath-
er-laced boots to replace shoes and
leggins are expected by Cheatham to
contribute to appearance and morale.
The problem of obtaining satisfac-
tory cotton cloth for uniforms has
been so difficult Cheatham has recon-
mended adoption of a khaki shade
identical with that used by the ma
rine corps in place of the familiar
olive drab.
All army housing projects author
lied by congress in 1927 have been
completed except the hospital at the
Fort Leavenworth disciplinary bar
racks, Cheatham reported. Building
authorized in 1928 has been completed
except for barracks. and quarters at
Fort Sam Houston, Texas; Fort jay,
N. Y; Fort Monmouth, N. j., and
Selfridge Field, Mich
Sixteen housing or hospital projects
of the 1923 program representing an
expenditure of about $3,300,000 are
completed or under way. Work has
not yet been started on the remaining
II projects of the 1923 program which
will require expenditure of between
$6,000.000 and S7,000,000.
Under authority of congress Cheat
ham began correspondence to identity
widows and mothers of American sol
diers, sailors. and marines buried in
Europe preliminary to pilgrimases to
the graves at public expense.
