the first matter to be taken up at

quickly.
Then they expect to reach an agree

In quarters close to the company, it

BELTSVILLE, Md, November IL
All the worlds millions Of chickens,
if they knew enough, would be hang
ing breathlessly on what little gray
haired woman is doing in one of the
worlds strangest scientific labora-
tories here.
She is Dr. Ena A. Allen. poultry
disease expert, and in a house that
no other human except her one
helper is allowed to enter she is
fighting coccidiosis. the second most
serious of all the diseases that haraSs
chickens and take money out of the
pockets Of poultry raisers.
When DR.. Allen goes into her lonely
laboratory to start the days work
she must replace her coat, hat and
other articles of clothing with others,
fresh and clean.
Contagious Disease.
This Is because coccidiosis is one
of the most contagious of poultry
diseases, and also because she must
make sure that no insects or other
parasites that may carry it or other
diseases shall enter the building.
Her helper likewise must change
clothes.
Her laboratory, part of the expert
mental farm of the Department of
Agriculture, is barred not only to most
humans, but to all insects. Invading
bugs find every room surrounded with
small moat exactly like that of a
medieval castle, but instead of water
it is filled with crude oil, which no
crawling insect can pass. Uprights
and other avenues of entry from roof
and cellar are barred off also by oil
cups. Tight screens keep out all
flying invaders.
A tiny parasite that invades chick
ems digestive systems is the cause of
coccidiosis, and experiments are now
being made in an effort to control it
by regulating chicken diets.
Nearby, in what is probably the
worlds cleanest barn, DR.. Charles w.
Rees is fighting a cattle parasite
causing disease known as anaplas-

Demand Treaty or Ger
man Pledge.

Copyright. 1884. by the Associated Press.
ROME, November l7.-Premier
Benito Mussolini and Kurt Schusch-
nigg, Austria's chancellor, agreed today
that Austria must be made another
Switzerland in Central Europe.
Either Germany must voice her un-
mistakable intention to let Austria
alone or Germany must sign an agree
ment with other European nations
guaranteeing Austria's independence,
the two statesmen decided.
First of Series of Talks.
A government spokesman announced
that the two men, meeting in the first
of the series of conversations sched-
uled during Schuschnigg's four-day
visit to Rome, discussed at great
length ways permanently to guarantee
Austria's continuance as an inde-
pendent nation.
Of the two alternatives they de-
cided alone were possible, the second
treaty to which Germany and all
other major European powers would
adhere-waS preferred.
The conversations continued to-
night at formal dinner which Musso-
lini gave at hotel in the visitors
honor.
The Austrian chancellor, who ar
rived last night amid typical Fascist
pomp. and ceremony, was but little
satisfied with the tri-partite declara-
ton England, France and Italy made
at the last assembly of the League of
Nations, it was disclosed.
Stronger Bulwark Desired.
He felt that assertion was compare
lively weak, and some stronger bull
wark against threats to Austria's free
dom was needed
Gtaly, France and England joined
last September in renewing the tri-
power declaration they made in Feb
ruary, when Socialist revolution f1ared
in Austria, concerning ''the necessity
Of maintaining the independence and
integrity of Austria, in conformity with
existing treaties ~
Austria's foreign minister, Egon Ber-
ger Waldenegg, and the Italian under
secretary of state, Fulvio Suvich, were
present at the conference, held in the
Venezia Palace, at which, it was un-
derstood, the two leaders also talked
over SchuSchnigg's recent conversa-
tions with Vienna Pan-Germanists.
The subject of relations between
Austria and YugoSlavia also came up
for consideration. it was stated.
