IN GIRL $ DEATH
Superintendent of New Mex
leo Home Faces Charge
of ManSIaughter.

BY the Associated Press
ALBUQUERQUE, N. Mex, January
IS.-Possibility of Federal charges of
violation of the Harrison anti-narcotic
act today faced officials of the New
Mexico Girls Welfare Home here in
connection with the death Sunday of
Hiss Helen Haskew, 49, an inmate, fol-
lowing an injection of twilight sleep.
Announcement already has been made
by District Attorney Eugene Lujen that
nianSlaughter charges will be filed to-
day against Bertha Lips, superintendent
of the home, and DR.. Evelyn Frisbie,
medical adviser, who were held RESPONSE
bic for the death by coronerS jury.
When a joint committee of the State
Legislature, headed by Gov. r. C. Dill
Ion. yesterday began an official investi-
gatien of the death and conditions at
the home, J. G.. Pieper, Federal opera
tive, announced he was following the
evidence closely to determine If those in
charge had violated Federal anti
narcotic laws in using the drug as a
sedative.
He asked permission of the legislative
committee to question girl inmates and
officials of the home. The coroners in
vestigation of the death revealed that
Miss HaSkeW and five other girls had
been given the drug last Saturday night
when they created a disturbance in pro-
test to solitary confinement and bread
and-water diet which was their punish
ment for escaping from the home.
Miss Lips testified before the legisla-
tors that about 20 injections of twilight
sleep had been given various inmates of
the home since she had been in charge.
She became superintendent in Novem-
Der. 1926.
Miss Faye Graves, one of Miss Has
kews companions. said she had been
given the drug eight times.

one nest with eggs growing cold in
the other nests.
If sitting coops are placed on high
ground with sufficient drainage all
around, nests may be placed directly
on the ground. Scoop out depres-
sion so the nest can be properly
shaped to keep the eggs from roll
ing out. If conditions make it nec-
essary to have a floor in the coop,
sod or loose dirt can be used to
support the outer edges of the nest.
Better still, make the nest in a box
about inches deep and Is inches
square for ordinary breeds. For
Asiatics, nest boxes should be from
IS to 20 inches square. Pack sod
or earth in the corners to round
them out. Then arrange your nest
ing material inside the depression
so formed. The use of sod or earth
is advisable because it helps to con-
serve the moisture so necessary dur
ing incubation.
To my mind, the ideal nesting ma
terial is clean fine straw or hay.
1t is difficult to shape a nest with
long coarse straw. Leaves are some
times used for nests and are quite
satisfactory.
Having provided the hen with ade-
quate nesting facilities, the next
consideration is to provide proper
food and exercise. The hen should
be permitted to leave her nest oc-
casionally to eat and exercise, but
must not be allowed to stay off the
eggs until they get chilled. Feed
her equal parts of wheat and corn
on the ground or in pan near the
nest, but no mash. Provide plenty
of pure, fresh water, grit and char
coal. The sitting hen will usually
leave her nest once a day for feed
and water. If she does not, take
her off and close the nest so she
cannot get back too soon. If she
stays away too long, take her gen.
tly away from the food and put her
back on the nest. If the weather
is rather cool, she should not leave
the eggs more than 10 or 20 minutes.
In mild weather she may stay away
somewhat longer.
Visit your hens regularly while
they are sitting and watch them
closely. If hen is a good sitter,
she will stick right on the job and
give you very little trouble, but
some hens are restless, mash the
eggs by moving about or mash new
ly Matched chicks. Chicks should
be taken from such hens as fast as
they are Matched and put in an in
cubator or under some other hen.
Always remove empty shells. 9th
erwise they may slip over other eggs
and smother chicks struggling to
get out of their shells. Also when
ever an egg is hbroken during the
earlier stages of Matching, remove
it. If it's contents are smeared over
other eggs, wipe them clean with a
wet cloth and return them to the
nest at once. Use only lukewarm
water for this purpose. Make nee
essary examination of the nests
while your hens are eating to avoid
disturbing them.
Needless to say, thorough SANTA
ton of nests and coops is necessary.
The coop or building in which hatch
ing is done should be thoroughly
disinfected at least once a week.
The nSst should not only be kept
clean as suggested above, but the
hen should be thoroughly busted
with lice powder before Matching is
started and again on the seventeenth
day.
