when, Paul Goreuloff, fanatic assassin of President Dculner Of France, goes on trial, Judge Urey. fus. president of the court ot 6ssrasi GorTaloff fi's is shown own at lower left with his wife and above as he iooks to-day, with His attorney, Henri Geraud, wearing court robes.
 "some devil got into my head and forced me on" he wrote again to her. You must, you must. you must make this at- tempt" the devil said. You must protest before all the world against the policy of France and the League of Nations" linen in the same letter he softens towards his wife. Farewell my darling" he writes, farewell forever. pray to you to bring up our child as a good patriot and a good Christian. And tell our child, Your father died as an apostle for his patriotic idea, as the chief of a national Russian democratic DO. litical party"
 Some of these outbursts are cited by the defense as indica- tions of insanity, while the prose- cution regards them as play acting.
 Gorguloff spends "a great deal of his time writing, either letters or political theories, but other- wise appears to have lost the fanaticism which moved him af- ter the assassination. He no longer stands before blank walls chanting and praying and cross. ing himself in the manner of the Orthodox church.
 Yet he never repents of his deed. IVY.

 Emphasis is placed by Commits sioner Blodgett upon the tax leg islation adopted by the 1881 ses- sion of the General Assembly re- quiring, with certain exceptions. complete local property collection within two years after the due late of each tax or first instalment thereof, and, at the same time, ex- tending to those in distressed cir- cumstances leniency which no other state has provided.
 Importance of New Law shown.
 "Tax collection legislation of 1891 is something more than a mere remodification of the previous tax collection law of the state" Commissioner Blodgett points out. While the new legislation is in- tended to perform the normal codi- flying function of sinplification of, and uniformity and universality in, tax collection procedure. 1t does something more. It annouces . tax collection policy which. while similar in many respects to that of the great majority of the other states, mitigates their harsh feat ures to a great extent. The pur- pose underlying the tax collection laws of many of the other states Is complete collections of all taxes within a year or even shorter pee riod of time after such taxes shall have become due. To place an overwhelming incentive upon tax debtors to pay their taxes promptly many of the states not only require the collector to sell all delinquent property within a few months af ter the tax due date but also im- pose high interest and other pen- alties if taxes are not paid within a month of their due date.
 'So strong is the conviction in many states that no money paid returns so good and valuable a consideration as money paid in taxes to support responsible gov- ernment, that they have considered it necessary to permit no exception to the rule of complete payment within a relatively short space of time. While the new Connecticut legislation emphasizes more strong. ly than has been the case within the last fifty years the belief that taxation is just as essential and i'm. porfant as government itself and that without payment of taxes soy. ernment could not long exist. | goes further than the tax law oi any other state in retaining . pro. bisIon, first written into the Con. necticut statutes of 1927, which diminishes the severity of thii principle in the case of the needy the DOT and the unfortunate.

UNPRoFITABLE HENS
LOWER NET INCOMES


II 1000 Washington poultrymen eacl
having an average flock OF 1000 white
Lcghorn hens, were to Gull out 100 un.
profitable birds or 10 per cent Of eacl.
flock. egg production for the state
would be reduced about carload q
day and the net returns to the poul.
tryman. Washington State college. The
increased income per bird would be
responsible for the increased net re.
turns,
The average poultryman finds that
1t costs him $3.75 a day to feed flock
Of 1000 White Leghorn hens. othe,
costs, not including labor, bring the
total to IS a day If he can maintain
his production at 60 per cent, he will
receive 600 eggs or so dozen day
When the eggs are marketed at an
average price Of IL cents a dozen, he
receives $3.50 q day or so cents day
above the cost Of production. This
gives the poultryman an income OF
SIS a month on which to support his
family.
The poulsryman in this predicament
must necessarily increase his volume
Of business or cut his costs. A careful
checkup Of his flock will show him
that about 100 Of his 1000 hens are
laying only about "a eggs day or
less than Is per cent. These "a eggs,
at II cents a dozen, sell for % cents,
yet they cost him SO cents to produce.
BY culling out these 100 low producers,
the poultryman saves % cents a day
and some labor. His net incomes jumps
to 70 cents day, even though he
produces two dozen less eggs per day.
His production costs have been cut to
about $3.50 a day while he receives
1928 cents day for the 48 dozen eggs,
leaving the margin of 70 cents.
Effective culling OF a poultry flock
is not difficult If the basic principals
are once mastered, says Mr.. Buchan-
an. Poultrymen who hesitate to Gull

they can pick the low producers, may

FABRIC TESTS SHOW
WEARING QUALITIES

Many housewives have been bitterl.
disappointed in buying fabrics which
have every appearance of wearing vel
and giving good service, only to fine
that after a few months the garments
were practically worn out. There ar,
several simple fabric tests which car
be made at the department stor,
counter and give an excellent indica.
ton as to the wearing qualities ane
service of a particular material, say.
Miss Lois Holderbaum, exten or
clothing specialist. Washington STATE
college.
The first may be called the pulling
test. Pull the sample In all directions
The threads should have about thu
same elasticity or rebound and remain
in their original positions. The clotf,
should retain Its original form and not
pull out Of shape,
Next, crease sample of the cloth
between the thumb and forefinger.
Wool and silk of good quality are
naturally resilient and will spring
back into shape. If a wool fabric re-
mains creased it is probably due to a
poor grade of virgin wool, or use Of
poor shoddy, that is wool that has been
used in garments more than once. If
a silk fabric remains creased, it is
probably heavily weighted with chemi-
Gals to make it appear heavier and
better than it really is. Linen and
cotton creases rather easily, linen
more easily than cotton.
The firmness of the cloth may be
tested with the thumb nail. Run the
thumb nail diagonally across the cloth.
II the threads are loose they will move
out of position following the direction
Of the moving nail. A firm cloth will
not do this.
The sewing test can be made by run
ming needle back and forth through
two thicknesses of the cloth as if sew
ing them together. Then with the
needle in this position, pull the two
pieces in opposite directions. If the
threads separate and do not return
to their original position, the material
will not stand much strain and will
pull out at the seams. Many soft,
loosely woven fabrics will not stand
this test.
If the cloth passes the fabric tests
successfully and the finish and COM |
position are standard, the material
should give good service. Details for
differentiating between wool, silk,
rayon, and cotton. may be obtained |
free on request to your county extern
sion office or the Extension Service,
State college, Pullman.
