GOOD TURKEY CROP REPORTED

Reports received by the Bureau OF
Markets from the U. s. Bureau of Agri-
cultural Economics show the 1928
turkey crop to be about 9 per cent
more than that of 1928.
Most of the leading states have in
creased production this year, bnt the
larger increases are in the eastern and
southern states where the crop has
been small for the past few years. 1t
is estimated that So per cent of the
crop will be ready Tor the Thanks
giving market, 80 per cent of the Christ
mas market, and about 10 per cent for
later marketing According to this
re port, the production for the eastern
states is fully up to normal, though
slightly less in some districts.

The change In Rees was amazing. A

The detectives diplomacy had done its

"Mr. Bloor," he said, I'm tell you the

careful about me, because he knows that

TO SIGN DALE BILL

able Action.

Encouraged by the favorable indica-
tions that have core from the White
House. leaders In and out of Congress
who have led the long fight for liber-
alizing the retirement features under
the civil service we're confident TODAY
that President Coolidge would sign
the Dale-Lehlbach bill, which increases
the retirement pay of Federal employees
and further improves the conditions
of retirement
Although the bill has not yet reached
the Presidents hands, it. was said at
the White House that he would give
1t particular study. Even though the
measure does not harmonize with the
recommendations for retirement legis-
iation contained in the Presidents mes
sage. it was said that the President
realizes Congress had his suggestions
before 1t while the legislation was in
the process of enactment. Despite
his own objections to many of the fea-
lures of the BILL 1t was indicated that
so far as the President is concerned.
the Judgment of Congress on the leg
islation will have considerable weight
with him.
Under the Dale-Lehlbach bill the
maximum annuity is increased from
81, 000'to 81 200 year. Provision also Is
made for optional retirements after 80
years service, two years earlier than at
present.
Opposition of President Coolidge pre-
vented passage of liberalized retirement
legislation at the last session. although
1t had been given favorable place on
the calendar in the House. The rules
committee blocked action on It, At the
beginning of the present session of Con-
gress the bill had passed the Senate
and was on the House calendar.

proved more than 90 bills in the last
day or so, the list given out at the
White House today including also the
recent act authorizing construction and
maintenance of bathing pools and
beaches In the District of Columbia.
AS originally introduced the measure
provided for IL pools at an estimated

late Walter Reed. after whom Walter

clates, who died as martyrs to the cause
OF humanity when they Lermitted Them
selves to be inoculated with yellow fever

removal of q lead pencil from his in

old, of Rockville. Md, became suddenly
worse and died in Providence Hospital
early today.
The operation and removal Of the

that it remained lodged without giving
him any trouble until he had a. fall re-

fall. which caused the belief that in
falling he had caused the pencil to be
pushed through issue which had built
up around it and had protected him
from pain until then.
