The
Capital
Library for Quiet

Written appeals for silence
placarded about the Supreme
Court Library failed to have
the desired effect on a small
visitor. Oral demands also failed
to curb her noisiness, according
to William Henry Harrison, at
tendant.
Finally exasperated at the
many requests for quiet she
turned to query:
whats the matter? Is some
body dead around here?"

Blood-Tested and Culled
Flocks for Best Chicks

The most important question be-
fore the pOultryman is where and
what kind of baby chicks to buy,
says G. F. Parrish. poultry extension
specialist at North Carolina State
college. II am convinced. however,
that the safe plan for the poultry
man Is to get his new chicks from
hatcheries where the eggs used
come from bl0Od-tested and culled
supply flOcks."
Mr.. Parrish says his reason for
making this recommendation comes
from certain tests which have been
made. Reports on 79,686 chicks pro-
duced by hatcheries where the eggs
were produced by blOOd-tested birds
show 5.151 chicks died from all
causes during the first four weeks
of life. This is a mortality of 6.4
per cent.
Reports on 1858 chicks produced
from birds that had not been blood
tested show that 2.S75 died from all
causes during the first four weeks
of life. This is mortality of 36.1
per cent. :

Keeping the Male Birds

Farm management experts and
agricultural economists have COM
monty insisted that a well eStab-
lished agricultural practice is usu-
ally sound. We like to agree with
them, but are at loss to know the
advantage of keeping the male birds
in the flock after the regular hatch
ing season is over. And yet this Is
done on a majority of corn belt
farms where male birds are carried
through into spring.
The lowered quality of the eggs,
the feed eaten by the birds, the
usual decline in their value between
MAY or June and late fall, the
trouble they cause bOthering the
growing stock if they can get in
with them, are some of the reasons
why people should sell rOOsters as
soon as the regular Matching season
Is over. "Swat the rooster" cam
paigns have been held and much
writing has been done each year,
urging the adoption of an early sale
program. But it has not been adopt
ed very widely. There must be a
reason. Why is it? asks a writer
In Wallace's Farmer.

Just as some pOultrymen were too
pessimistic year ago, some of
them may be too optimistic now.
Prospective flock owners should not
get over-enthusiaStic on the basis
of profitable egg prices during the
last months of 1882.
Poultry and eggs bring in more
than IL per cent of the millions in
Illinois cash farm income, which
explains why good egg prices should
there is little reason why flock own
ers as group should adopt gen.
eral expansion program. Undoubt.
edly, for some an increase in size Of
would be justifiable. However, any
marked increase in the poultry
business should depend largely upon
the advisability of good market,
other farm activities, the expert
ences of the operator and the rela-
tive Importance of poultry to other
farm enterprises within the area.
Probably the best plan for most
people during the year would be to
follow normal procedure and do
the best possible. The "in and out
er" has seldom made money. What
poultry prices will do during the
coming year is problematical.
ANY wild optimism at this time
would be as foolish as the loose
thinking and foolish pessimism OF
a year ago At that time egg prices
in February, March, April, May and
June caused many people to become
unwisely discouraged. They decid-
ed to quit their interest in poultry
and drift along. Consequently, when
egg prices reached the profitable
level, only those flock owners who
had maintained their interest were
prepared to take advantage of the
situation.

POULTRY FACTS

In the 100 departments OF voca-
tional agriculture in Wisconsin
there are 4,277 students enrolled.
Eggs are clean when they are
laid and dirty eggs are the result
of dirty feet, dirty nests and broken
eggs.
Sour skimmilk or buttermilk is q
very desirable food to give turkeys,
and the feeding of dry mashes with
green's is also desirable.

Sing a breach that has separated two
civilizations since the Gar fell.
y DR.. Stephen Duggan, vibrant with en-
thusiasm, told today how cultural rela-
tions will be re-established between
America and Russia now that President
Roosevelt and Commissar Litvinof have
put them back on speaking terms.
DR.. Duggan is director of the Institute
Of International Education, which is env
-dowed by the Carnegie Corporation and
the Rockefeller Corporation. .
Invited by Russia.
Backed by part of the wealth Of these
powerful philanthropic agencies. he goes
ct the invitation of the Soviet govern
ment to develop the same educational
and artistic cooperation as the United
States enjoys with France, England and
other countries.
He will arrange for exchange of pro-
fessors and students. stimulate the study
of English over there and Russian here
and plan for swapping Of educational
exhibits. On this side of the water the
work will be handled by the institute;
On the other by new Anglo-American
Institute at the University of Moscow.
At Summer sessions Of the university,
Soviet professors speaking English will
expound Russian literature, music, art,
the theater and even criminology to
American students. Everything will be
comfortable. The Communists are re-
habilitating an old dormitory, installing
shower baths for the American guests
we will try" said DR.. Duggan, so
stimulate very strongly in American
universities the study of the Russian
language, literature, history and insti-
tutions"
Not Worried About Marxisn.
He is not worried over the effect that
modern-day Russian literature 50 much
Of it written from consciously Marx
ian viewpoint, might have on America.
He expressed the personal opinion that
intelligent Americans probably fear more
for the safety of their institutions as a
result of certain economic abuses
brought to light in recent years than as
q result of the influence Of Lenin and
Trotsky.
We needn't fear a spread of Com
munism or Socialism" he said. "as loEg
as Americans have an inborn idea that
they can better themselves, or at least
that their children can" AS long as
Americans feel that way. he believes, the
idea of the class struggle will not take
root.
Politics Not Involved.
His institute, he points out, has moth
ing to do with politics or economics.
l6t1sia, like other countries whose po-
u9eQ philosophy varies from ours, has
q civilization, he says "and If we're wise
~ want to know about each other"

Jim Watson's Conqueror
Humorous in Spite of

Disagrees With Administra-

Bonus Issue.
BY GRACE HENDRICK EUSTIS.

Senator Frederick Van Nuys will go
down In the annals of Hoosier Demo-
cratic history as the man who defeated
Jim Watson, veteran legislator Of 40
years experience.
The campaign was a fierce one and
the young Democrat carried the fight
right to Senator WatSon's door. accus-
ing him Of never giving the plain man
the breaks. He won with plurality
Of 20e, 900 votes, putting the cap on
a complete Democratic landslide.
Indiana Is q temperamental State
politically and when it switches, 1t
does so In a big way. Between 1920 and
1928, it was Republican to a man. In
1928 1t started to become Democratic
and now there is Democratic Senator,
a Democratic Governor, Democratic
House Delegation. Democratic Gen
eral Assembly, Democratic court ofn-
cials in two-thirds of the 90 countries
and Democratic municipal government
in the big cities, Indianapolis, Fort
Wayne, Terre Haute, Gary. Evansville,
A Young Lochinvar.
Senator Van Nuys is one Of group
of young LochinvarS who have come
up in the last decade to perform this
transformation He is a man not over
so: the Governor, Paul McNutt, Is
under so, and so are most of the pres
ent Office holders. They have replaced
the famous old-timerS, Vice President
Tom Marshall, Senator John Kern. Ben
Chively and the Democratic State
chairman, Earl Peters.
The Senator is an extremely agree
able man with plenty of oratorical abil-
ity. What is unusual is that he is
modest and seems to have retained a
sense of humor. too often rare among
the silver tongues His interest started
years ago, when he was running for
prosecuting attorney in Madison. He
didn't have any money so he made
house toulouse campaign on his feet
and achieved such a pull with the
housewives that he was elected by 400
votes, the only Democrat to win in his
county. After that he became State
Senator and was floor leader for the
Democrats at the same time his present
colleague in the Senate, Arthur Robin
son, was floor leader for the Repub-
licans. Next he became county chair
man for the Democratic State Commit
tee until he moved to Indianapolis and
took up the law.
In President Wilson's administration
he was appointed United States district
attorney and when President Harding
was elected, he went into law partner
ship with Sam Ralston. who remained
his partner until his death.
In the meantime Mr.. Van Nuys was
always in demand because of his ability
to make blistering speeches and when
