Hoover Plans Welcome


 Washington, Sept. 3 LP-President Hoover made plans today to honor Dieudonne Coste and Maurice Bel lonte, at luncheon on their visit to Washington after their Dallas flight.
 He received a reply from the fam ous pilot to the congratulations ex- tended by him last night, as we'll as the response cabled by President Doumergue of France.
 Only few minutes had passed after Maurice Bellonte and myself had landed upon the American soil when your heartfelt congratulations reached us," Coste wired.
 We beg you, Mir. President. to accept our deepest appreciation of your kindest words, which have touched both of us very profoundly. The American and French people have had the great privileges of all ways entertaining the most friendly relations. Nothing would please us more than the thought that our suc- cessful flight might contribute to strengthen these reciprocal feelings" /"
 Assurances went forward from the White House that the flight to Dal- las as that to Washington would not interfere with the official reception here. Diplomats and aviation off, cers of the government will be guests at the White House luncheon.

 In the morning they will set Out on their 10-hour flight to Dallas, and there they will remain only long enough to rest and overhaul their motor before starting back to New York.
 They will visit Washington, either on their way home from Dallas or on a separate trip to be made after they return. Plans for their recep- tion by President Hoover are Etill incomplete.
 Codos long has been associated with Coste in aviation. having flown with the French captain as me- chanic and co-pilot on several of the latter's record breaking flights.
 He was with Coste when the lat ter crashed on an attempted five day flight to Indo-China in the win ter of 1929 and with Coste set three new air records for closed circuit flight. It was Bellonte, however, who flew with Coste to Manchuria last year to set the distance record for straight line flight of more than 5000 miles.
 Codos is world war f1ier and for several years was regular pilot on the Paris-London airline across the channel, probably the best known and most travelled of all air lines of the world.

Crowded Conditions Given
BY State Board AS
Cause for Act

AUSTIN, March 4-(P-Until the
population Of the Texas penal
system is reduced to normal. no
more prisoners will be accepted at
the prison and its units, the State
prison board has decided.
Terming the overcrowded condi-
ton OF the main prison at Hunts
vile and its units as dangerous,
carrying a threat of riots. mutiny
and disastrous epidemic, the board
decided at It's regular meeting az
Houston yesterday to take this step.
w. A. Paddock, chairman OF the
board, denied the order was issued
because Of the present apparent
deadlock in the legislature over
prison reform. declaring the move
had been contemplated for some
time and had been taken at this
time because members of the board
unanimousIy believed IL necessary
for public safety.
The order became effective i'm
mediately, with only prisoners In
transit when il was promulgated
accepted.
Despite paddock's statement, some
legislators interpreted the move as
an administration axe" TO force
the legislature TO solve a problem
which has baffled two extraordin-
airy sessions.
Comments were not slow In COM
ing from the legislative halls. "A

RED MITES CUT EGG
OUTPUT IN SUMNER

Get after the red mites in the hen
house now before they cause drop
in egg production. Before the poul-
try mites become too numerous is the
time to treat the roosts and other
parts of the house, advises Miss Cora
Cooke, extension poultry specialist,
University Farm.
Hot weather is most favorable to
the reproduction of the mites and
they multiply very rapidly, soon
causing a falling off in egg produc-
ton, Miss Cooke says.
"These mites are much more harm
full than the lice which live on the
body of the hen all the time. The
mite is a small spider-like creature
which lives during the day in cracks
and crevices about the perches and
nests and comes out at night to feed
on the blood of the fowls.
''The mites are easily controlled by
painting the perches and roost sup
ports with carbolineum. One applica-
tion usually is sufficient for the sea-
son, but should be applied soon after
the weather becomes warm enough so
that the hens can be out-of-doors the
entire day. Other coal tar products
are good, but carbolineum has been
found most effective. This should be
applied early in the day so that it
will have time to dry; otherwise it
is irritating to the feet of the fowls.
1t is better on this account to be used
rather sparingly, but the application
nevertheless should be thorough.
Scare should be exercised in US
ing carbolineum or other prepara-
tions about the nests since the eggs
may take on the odor."
