The cash customers who attend ed the City Basketball Leagues doubleheader last night in Juneau High School got their moneys worth, all right, even though no drastic changes were made in the circuit standings as the result of the games.
 In the opener the crowd saw tall, red-haired Lloyd Bayers col lect 32 points as DeMolays crushed an outclassed, but much improved Moose team, 82 to 35. Then, in the nightcap, the fans were treated to as nip-and-tuck fracas as the current season has developed when Juneau's firemen nosed out the Fire Laddies from Douglas, 4S to fl.
 Bayers, by amassing 32 points via IA field goals and four foul losses, goes into the individual scoring lead jumping from third to first place over Paul Brown, Krause Concreters, and Bob Mc- Phee, George Brothers. Bayers now has 104 points; Brown, 82; and McPhee, 75. Both McPhee and Bay CTS have one more game to play before concluding their first half seasonal scoring.
 True, his teammates fed nm tI.e ball, but Bayers deserved his total, which, incidentally, falls just ten points short of McPhee's high sim gle-game tally of A markers Dwarfed by Bayers' huge total were the very respectable Appoint scoring figures made by Hiding Hagland and Capt. Elmer Lind Strom.
 Jerry Ledbetter was high for the improved Moose club which was dangerously near collapse in it's last game, but which showed improvement last night. Big Red Frodle, guard and center, especially evidenced better play.
 The finale was just one of those you score and d-then-I-will" affairs. The half-time tally favored the Ju- neau Bremen, 21 to 20, but Doug Gray tied it up as the third quar-

RE-wIRING NOME

In addition to the telephone wiring lost, about ten miles of power and lighting line were de- stroyed.

 Then, after five minutes of hard battling, in which the visitors ex- hibited some nifty floor work and clever passing, Douglas forged to a 25-22 lead But that advantage was shortlived, and, after Jimmy Orme dribbled in from the side to pot cripple to give Juneau to 26-25 lead a few moments later, the winners were never headed.
 Once, with minute to go, the lads from across the Channel came up to 41-44, but baskets by Stan Grummett and Stan Hill two players who starred brilliantly for the winners-put the game on ice.

RU SKY QUINTET HOST TO U. s. c. IN EARLY SERIES.
Coast Champions Will Play Trojans in Seattle
 Dec. 2l, 22

SEATTLE, Dec. 12-Husky bas- ketbal fans will get a glimpse of the type of basketball that thrilled Southern California fans last year when the Huskies copped three game series from U. s. 0. and won the Pacific Coast pennant, when U. s. C. plays Washington in a preseason series here December 21 and 22. it was announced today by A. S. U w officials.
 Coach Sam Barry's team is vir- tually the same outfit that gave the Huskies the closest and hard est-fought series the men of Hec Edmundson have ever engaged in, and southern fans are already tout ing the Trojans as the logica championship contender.
 Washington was harder hit by graduation that the southerners, losing Capt. Hal Lee, Washington's first all-American basketeer, Joe Weber and Jack Hanover. How ever. Bob Galer. possessor of the northern division high-scoring rec ord, will be back, as will Clyde Wagner, Edmundson's hard-check- ing center.
 Five other lettermen, Dick Cook, Don Wyman, Don McKinstry, Dick Merlin, and Ralph Bishop will be back to reinforce the Huskies in their pennant drive.
 Incidentally, hopes that Don Wy man, letterman football and bas- ketball man, would get to play against his arch-rivals, Capt. Julio Boscos and Ward Browning of U. s. C., faded when it was learned that Browning had broken a leg in football practice and Bescos would probably not come north be- cause of the Notre Dame football game last week. All three men are ends and played against each other in the game recently, when the Huskies beat the Trojans, IA to 2.
 The Trojan offense is built up around Lee ("Rubberlegs) Guttero, whom critics have picked as one of the best centers to ever play in the southern conference. Guttero is fast-breaking "dead-eye," and is an outstanding guard as well. Assisting him are CO-capt. Joe Kelley, Ernie Holbrook, All-Con- ference guard, and Hop Findlay These men form a fast-breaking combination that is hard to beat.

CLEANING PC ULTRY
HOUSE II ADVISED
Building Should Be Freed Of
Annoying Insects.

BY n, D. FaErer. Entomofoxist. Illinois State
Natural History survey.-wNO Service
Before farmers begin housing their
chickens for fall and winter produc-
ton 1t will be decidedly profitable to
thoroughly clean and treat the poul-
try buildings for lice, mites and other
parasitic insects.
Unless effective contrn measures
are taken at this time, focks often be-
come 50 heavily infested with these
insect pests that they become I'M
thrifty. egg production declines and
thousands Of dollars in poultry profits
are lost by producers.
Practically all poultry insects can
be killed by applications Of any kind
Of oil. This applies particularly to
mites, bed bugs and heas which feed
on the birds by sucking their blood at
night. In the daytime these insects
usually leave the birds and hide In
cracks and crevices in the poultry
house.
Some Of the M e economical and
effective oils for this purpose are
creosote, kerosene and waste crank
case oil, applied with a brush or
emulsified with soap and water and
sprayed on the inside Of the building.
Dormant tree spray emulsIons mixed
at the rate Of four or five gallons in
100 gallons Of water are also eff
Client poultry insect destroyers. All
corners, cracks and rough places in
the wood should be saturated with the
oils to insure satisfactory control
Poultry lice spend theIr entire lives
on the birds and thus must be con.
trolled BY treating the fowls with
dips, powders or gases toxic to the In
sects. For this good grade of sodi-
um fuoride Is economical. Each bird
IL busted individually by applying
pinch Of sodium fuorlde under each
wing and around the vent, roughing
the feathers to allow the powder to
sift into the plummage. or the birds
may be dipped In a solution of one
ounce Of sodium fiuorlde In one gallon
Of water.
Where 1t is impractical to handle
each bird. painting the roosts with 40
per cent nicotine sulphate is recon-
mended. A line Of the disinfectant
about one fourth inch wide is applied
along the roosts just before the birds
retire. The nicotine fumes filter
through the birds feathers, killing the
lice. This treatment should be re
peated in 10 to IA days as it does not
kill the eggs. An lime or whitewash
should be removed from the roosts
before nicotine sulphate is applied.
ScaIy leg. caused by mites feeding
under the leg scales, can be controlled
by dipping the feet and legs in solu-
ton containing two parts Of rav lin
seed oil and one part of kerosene.

Confined Hens Lay Web,
Experiments Have Shown

That hens kept In confinement, If
properly fed, will lay quite as well as
those of the same age on the usual
limited range and even tend to lay
eggs larger in size, has been shown In
experiments at the United States
Animal Husbandry Experiment farm
at Beltsville, Nd, covering five-year
period.
These experiments further showed
that neither the fertility nor the hatch
ability of the eggs was affected by the
confinement Of the birds laying them,
important considerations in poultry
flock economy. There was also no ap-
preciable difference in mortality in the
aocks maintained experimentaliy IN
der the two systems of management.
Both lots of birds were fed the
same rations except that those con-
fined TO their laying house had cod.
liver oil added to the basic ration
and the non-confined birds were al
lowed to range In grass yards about
20 by 100 feet In size. Every effort
was made to furnish the confined
birds all the sunshine possible through
open windows In the laying house, the
sunshine and cod-llver oil precautions
preventing possible Ill effects from
vitamln deficiency Both lots were
furnished electric lights from 5 a. m.
until daylight each day from Septem-
Der n to April IS each year.

Hens and Their Diet

The practice of throwing grain on
the floor In soiled litter is coming to
be looked upon with disdaln. Expert
ment stations and commercial poultry
farms have found that the normal lay
ing flock can be fed both grain and
mash in hoppers, and that they will
consume about the correct proportion
Of the two. The same type Of hopper
that holds the dry mash can be used
for scratch feed. But where grain is
hopper fed, additional hopper space
must be provided,
1nfertile eggs may be left in a tenn
perature Of 1903 degrees Fahrenheit
for 70 hours and still be good for food,
poultry tests have shown.
It is best for the beginner not to
Gull too heavily, and not discard
hen on one point but rather On
combination of points.

Cellophane Protects Chicks

It Is well known among poultry
raisers that young chicks have tend
ency to pick at everything bright.
Often they will pick to death another
chick which becomes slightly scratched
or injured. because they are attracted
by the sight of blood. Experiments in.
dieate that blue cellophane can be sue
cessfully used to control this trouble.
The cellophane is simply placed in
wooden frames similar to those used
for wire screens and then fitted into
the windows Of the chicken houses.

Lights Of New York
BY Lit STEVENSON

Standing at Wall and Nassau streets,
my Imagination went back to 145 years
ago. The stone structure, once the
United States subtreasury. now the
passport office, changed to a much diff
ferent building-the city hall of Col
snial times, which was also the cap
ltol of the province of New York. The
hurrying crowds of bankers. brokers',
panhandlers, messengers, runners, tele
graph operators, typists. filing clerks
traders, millionaires and down and
cutters changed to those who had wit
messed the birth of liberty. The hur-
rying ceased and Colonials massed in
front of the city hall. Then the
Ward statue of George Washington
changed from bronze to flesh and
blood. On platform were the mem
bers Of the first congress Of the United
State of America. With them were
generals who had fop-lt under Wash.
ington. Beside Washington stood Rob
eFt b. Livingston, chancellor Of the
stats Of New York and grand master
of the Masons. Heads were barred and
there was great stiffness. Chancellor
Livingston was about to administer
the inaugural oath to the first Presi,
dent Of the United States.
Instead of administering the oath,
Chancellor Livingston turned to Gen.
Jacob Morton, marshal Of the day.
There was whispered conference At
the conclusion Of which General Nor
ton hurried away while the crowd won
dered. From the platform, General
Morton sped to the Old Coffee house at
Wall and Water streets, the meeting
place Of st. Johns lodge of Masons Of
whicA he was master. He was gone
only q few moments. When he re-
turned, he was carrying large Bible
resting on q cushion Of crimson vel
