Must Keep Eggs Moving,
Advises Poultry Expert

Producers who desire their eggs to
reach the consumer In the best condi-
ton must not only give the eggs
proper care while they are being held
on the farm but the eggs must be
kept moving from the time they are
laid until they reach the consumer.
says Berley Wlnton Of the Missouri
College Of Agriculture. The consum-
er wants eggs with a thick, jelly-like
white, and an outstanding, firm yolk.
Such eggs bring the most money and
find quickest sale.
Many eggs are reduced In quality
while they remain In the nests. This
Is due to the fact that the temporal
ture of the laying hen is normally l06
degrees Fahrenheit. II eggs are per
mitted to remain In nests during the
forenoon when most hens lay, consid-
cradle deterioration takes place. It
is a good practice, therefore, to gath
er eggs three to four times daily. Aft
er gathering they should be placed
In basket or exposed to the air,
rather than kept in bucket, and be
permitted to cool over night before
they are placed in the case. Expos
ure to the cool air will cause the body
heat to escape the eggs and they will
keep for q longer period.

THANKSGIVING

Yesterday, Thanksgiving, was a
day Of glory and substance, such a
day it was in the beginning and we
hope will even continue to be. Its
glory lies in the spirit OF thankful
ness which prevails in the hearts Of
all Of us. The substance may be
found in the bountiful supply Of
food that is ours.
A writer in the Kansas CityStar OBJ
serves that Thanksgiving day was
born in that spirit as the pilgrims
went to church over snowy trails
and returned home to eat dinner Of
wild turkey from the forest and
cranberries from nearby marshes.
Our menus may differ from that Of
our ancestors and other particular
varieties of ! foods more palatable
be served or even a color scheme
u.ed for a more formal dinner, but
to-day Thanksgiving is still the
same as it ever was with our ances-
tors, day designated to offer thanks
to God for his help during the year,

BETTER PRICES FOR
CHICKENS AND EGGS
Outlook Is Encouraging for
. the Poultryman.

Prepared by the United states Department
Of AEriculturs-wNU Service.
Farmers may expect better prices
for their chickens and eggs compared
with last fall. mainly on account OF
the reduced production which 1t is ex-
pected will result from the scarcity
and high price Of feed, according to
the bureau Of agricultural economics
in Its poultry and egg outlook report.
Poultry production this year is the
smallest since 1925. reports the bu-
reau. The number Of chickens Matched
this year was about 10 per cent less
than last year. and the number of
hens In farm nocks was less than last
year. There has been more than nor
NAL disposal Of hens and pullets In
drouth areas OF the central states.
Scarcity OF feed in many important
poultry producing states Is forcing
poultrymen to dispose Of some of their
surplus young stock earlier than usual,
and a considerable reduction in num-
Der of layers carried through the win
ter is expected.
THE prospective reduction Of eggs
throughout the fall and winter, and
the relatively small production in
prospect next spring, should result In
a level of farm prices sufficiently high
to Offset in part a higher price Of
feed" says the bureau.
The bureau suggests that producers
who are able to do so, maintain their
laying hocks and carry young chick
ems over to heavier weights where
natural range is available.

Table Scraps for Chickens

Table scraps are usually an ex-
treu1ely concentrated, highly seasoned
food and often prodire dire results II
the birds are allowed tu gorge them
selves. Where only few birds are
kept and fed only grain ration the
scraps undoubtedly supply some Of
the deficiencies brought about by such
a feeding method. This system of
feeding, however, does not bring out
the best III the birds and causes low
vitality as well MS decreased pro-
duction. For best results all birds
should have the proper ration and be
well housed.

Importance Of Sire

II = an old ndage that the sire Is

Il may be assumed that the sire Is

UNEMPLOYMENT IS STILL
WITH-US-AND WHY

A little over a year and half a ago,
Franklin Roosevelt became Presi-
dent of the United States. If at
that time, you had asked repre-
sentative group Of citizens what the
most burning problem of the hour
was, the chances are that eight out
of ten of them would have answer
ed, Unemployment" There were
many other problems and issues
but the fact that some 10, DOC, 600
men were unable to find jobs over
Swallowed them all.
During the past nineteen and a
half months, the federal govern
ment, guided by Mr.. Roosevelt, has
spent billions Of dollars, passed ex-
traordinary and unprecedented laws
tried q series Of daring experiments.
Yet today, unemployment is still
the most difficult problem the coun-
Try faces, and no progress has bee
made in alternating the plight of the
jobless.
Best estimates say that the num-
Der now unemployed is considerably
over thirteen million. That repres-
ents an increase Of three million un-
employed for the high touch in the
early spring of 1888. This should
convince anyone that the problem
of unemployment has not been SOL
we'd, but has increased approx
mately rs per cent.
According to tie best informa-
ton obtainable, the unemployment
situation is gradually getting worse
instead Of better. The federal gov
eminent, discovering that it would
not find jobs for the unemployed,
turned to relief on gigantic scale.
Through the MIRA, CWA, FERA
and number Of other alphabetical
agencies, the government is provid.
ing food, lodging, clothing and in
some cases, work for the unfortun-
ate, but this can not 60 on forever.
The expense is gigantic.
1t will be recalled that in a recent
speech, the President warned the
country that local agencies must do
their part, that the federal relief can
not carry the entire burden, or even
the bulk Of 1t. So we would like to
ask just how are local agencies 60
ing to carry this burden when the
state. county and the city have mo-
way Of remedying the cause Of this
unemployment, as the federal gov.
ernmens has. 1t should stop Impor-
tations OF everything from countries
thatars in default on their war debt
and put an embargo on everything
frdtn ali foreign countries that we
door can produce enough Of in this

REALTY TAX CUT

House Subcommittee Asks
Reduction From $3.50

Steps Are Taken Because of Sur.

BY WILL p. KENNEDY.

A direction to the District Com
mlSsloners to reduce the real estate
tax In the District from 81 so to sl.2o
has been written into the District ap-
preparation bill by the subcommittee
headed by Representative Cannon.
Democrat, of Missouri, which TODAY
/ completed its work on the bill and
sent the hearings to be printed. This
OIL Is to be reported to the House
on Monday or Tuesday.
In addition to the directed tax re-
auction the bill will provide for n
reduction in property values through
assessment some s5O,00O,000.
Based on Surplus Revenues.
This decision to call for the s12o
real estate tax rate is based bv the
subcommittee on a study of the sur
plus revenues from the District which.
the subcommittee estimates. will
amount to approximately $4,000. 900.
Inc reduction through assessment
ana the decrease In the tax rate will
use up some s3,200,000 of the surplus.
member of the committee said.
The subcommittee in its considera-
ton OF this subject expressed the view
that the reductions would not imneril
the needs of the District. It was
pointed out that to effect this saving
Tor the taxpayers no reduction was
necessary in the Budget Bureaus esti-
mates and that the bill as prepared
TO be reported will carry some in
creases over the budget figures.
Limitation Removed.
Last years District bill removed a
limitation which previously had been
carried in District appropriation bills
and which forbade the Commissioners
TO reduce the tax rate on real estate
and personal property below s1.7o.
This amounted to an indirect order
to the Commissioners to reduce the
tax rate, and 81 SO was the figure at
which members of the committee told
the Commissioners to set the new tax
rate. The District bill this year would
go further, however, in making it
mandatory that the Commissioners
lower the tax rate to sl.20, according
to The Stars information.
Members of the committee said to-
day that property assessments had
been reduced during the past year
by $50, 100000 and that there would
continue to be further property as
sessment reductions.
The estimates of District surplus
OF s6,OO0,0 900, made by members of the
committee, are higher than those pre-
Vlously made by District Auditor Dom

tuberculosis Hospital and
Sewage Disposal Plant
to Get Preference.

Despite reports to the contrary, the
District of Columbias SIS, zoe. 900 pro-
gram for four new P. w. A. projects
is by no means dead, it was indi-
Gated today at the Public Works Ad-
ministration.
While future grants for local P. w. A.
projects are chiefly contingent on
additional appropriations by Congress
Secretary of the Interior Ickes was
represented as being very desirous
that at least two of the District
projects be carried out if ways and
means can be found to finance them
These two projects are the build
ings for the proposed tuberculosis
hospital at Alta Vista, Md. to cost
$4,000, 900. and the 5000, 900 sewage
disposal plant. 1t was indicated, how
ever. that the latter would receive
more favorable consideration II its es-
innate Is trimmed to a smaller figure.
Omcials pointed out that the District
already has received nearly $500. 900
In P. w. A. grants for sewerage pur.
poses.
ID. c. Unable to Borrow.
Secretary Ickes was reported earlier
in the week as believing that WASH
mgton has received enough p. w. A.
grants, especially considering the fact
that the District of Columbia Is un-
able to borrow any money to under
take public works in collaboration
with the Federal Government For
this reason the impression was created
that the. District had little or no hope
OF receiving any further allotments
for its new program until Congress
supplies the administration with fur
ther funds. Even then. it was sug-
gested, the District projects would
have to compete with others through
ont the country, with the added dis
advantage of the Government being
required to make 100 per cent grants
for every project authorized here.
This situation led to reports today
that Secretary Ickes Is studying q
fA0a, "AtAl . kOooAbAC NlCW Ul LdhlIlk
1t up with the District Commissioners,
whereby the financing of Federal prof.
ects would be easier for the Govern
ment. This plan. presumably, would
involve legislation authorizing the
District to borrow money for p. w. A.
projects the same as other cities.
Center to Be Held Over.
Under the ordinary routine of
financing 5uch projects throughout
the country, the p w. A. contributes
30 per cent of the total amount as a
grant and the remaining 10 per cent
Is advanced as a loan, properly Sc
cured.
Until some better way of financing
P. w. A. projects in the District is
worked out, it was reported today
there is little likelihood Of any grant
being made this year to start the first
unit of the proposed Municipal Gen.
ter.
Secretary Ickes is more inclined to
favor the tuberculosis hospital project
and the sewage disposal plant at this
time, it is understood, because of his
own open-mindedness with regard to
such undertakings. He was repre-
sented as certainly not closing the
door on these two projects, at least.

ROOSEVELT
FOR SANDERS Job
Friends of Former Presi.
dents Son Urge Him as
G. 0. P. Chairman.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Col. Theodore Roosevelt for chair
man of the Republican National Com
mittee is one Of the latest proposals
advanced in G. o. p circles, where
the agitation over the national chair
manship continues to simmer. Whether
Col. Roosevelt would be a candidate
for the Craftsmanship is not clear. He
was selected recently to be president
of the National Republican Club of
New York, and is to take over that
work formally on April II. Col Roose-
welt is greatly interested in the de-
velopment of this club. and he has, it
is said. received communications from
Republicans in various parts of the
country who are anxious to make a
national movement out of the greater
development of the club.
Sanders Still in Office.
Everett Sanders Of Indiana and
Washington continues to hold the
Craftsmanship OF the Republican Ma
tional Committee notwithstanding the
efforts made in some quarters to dis
lodge him. Various tentative candi-
dates for the craftsmanship have been
advanced, among them former Am
bassador Walter E. Edge of New
Jersey, who retired from the Senate
to become Ambassador to France
during the Hoover administration.
Former Senator James E. Watson Of
Indiana also has been put forward
by some of his friends.
While Mr.. Sanders has held on as
chairman despite the demands by
some of the Republicans for a reor-
ganiZation of the National Committee
set-up. this does not mean, it was
said in informed quarters, that the
agitation for a change had died down.
On the contrary, the agitation has
grown with the weeks and months.
The new set-up for the conduct Of
the congressional campaign. with the
Republican Senatorial Committee and
the Republican Congressional Cam
paign Committees joining hands,
seemed to set aside. at least for the
present, the question of change in
the Craftsmanship OF the National
Committee. This situation may con-
tinue for some time.
Here Over the Week End.
Col. Roosevelt has been in Wash
ington this week and is expected to
be here over the week end. Doubtless
he will have conferences with some
of his Republican friends, many of
whom are in the Capital. There has
been no effort SO far to crystalline
sentiment regarding the chairman
ship of the National Committee,
certainly so far as he Is concerned.
However, if the Republicans canvass
ing the situation come to the con-
clusion that his choice would be pop
ular, his name might be seriously put
forward, provided, of course, he would
agree to it.
Col. Roosevelt, who at one time
was Assistant Secretary O. the Navy,
during the Hoover administration
made a record as governor of Puerto
Rico and governor general of the
Philippines. During the last cam
paign he was a strong supporter of
former President Hoover.
His selection, it was said, may be
opposed by some of the Old Guard.
Whether it would be looked upon
with favor by Ogden L. Mills, former
Secretary of the Treasury. who is re-
ported to have presidential aspira-
tions, and who, like Col. Roosevelt,
is New Yorker, is also question.
