SANITATION CHECKS
CHICK COCCIDIOSIS
Trouble Starts From Eat
ing Eggs of Parasite.

~ n G Caueer. Instructor in Poultry
Science. North Carolina State College

Although no cure has been found
for chick coccldIosis. a particularly
destructive disease. II may be pre-
vented when proper sanitation steps
are taken.
The parasites which cause the dis
ease are usually present wherever
there Is any poultry. but older birds
sometimes harbor the parasites
without suffering any serious III ef-
fects II Is the chick between four
md twelve weeks OF age that suf-
fers most.
Infection starts when a chick
eats the microscopic eggs of the
parasite. The eggs break open in
the Intestlnes Of the chicks and re-
lease myrlads OF living bodies
which attack the mucus membranes.
Infected chicks are weak. list
less. and droopy The appetite is
gone and they huddle in groups as
though they are cold. There Is
usually whtlsh. watery dropping
which has n tendency to. paste up
the fluff around the tall.
Chicks should not be allowed to
eat the parasites eggs The brood
or houses should be kept sanitary
and every precautlon taken TO keep
the eggs from being tracked into the
houses from other places.
Infected chicks should be re-
moved Immediately from the flock
and killed and either burned or
buried deeply The litter and sand
IN brooder houses should be changed
every other day or oftener Only
fresh. clean material should be used
for litter.
While the chicks are In the brood
or house. the runways should be
prepared by spadIng or plowlng
the soil so as 10 turn the Infected
top soil under. Tf this is imprac-
tlcable. the chicks should be re-
strlcted to a limited area which can
be covered with sand or gravel. or
they should he confined TO an out

Only one-third of the heads of
rural families on relief are wholly de-
pendent on the Emergency Relief Ad-
ministration for support.
Corrington Gill, assistant F. E. r.
A. administrator, has compiled figures
to show the other two-thirds are par

employment that fails to provide suf-
ficient income to support their fam

Gill said it showed that the heads
Of rural households have grasped at
all available employment to provide
for their families"
The study showed 90 per cent of
the employed rural household heads
on relief had shifted from pre-de-
preston occupations zone or more
steps downward on the occupational
ladder" while only few men had
left their usual occupations for others

NEW VIRGIN ISLES
REVELATIONS DUE
Investigation Is Resumed
After interruption of
IL Days.
By the Associated Press.

by bt1o ASoOCLhbcu TIece.
With hints of sensational develop
ments yet to come, Senate Commit
tee today calmly resumed investigation
Of affairs in the Virgin Islands after
q l2-day interruption which followed
a clash between Secretary Ickes and
Senator Tydings, Democrat, Of Mary
land
Advance intimations Of a surprise
move on the part of the islands ad-
ministration. which Gov. Paul M.
Pearson heads, failed to materialize
immediately. 1t had been reported
at the Interior Department that Sec
rotary Ickes. who is friendly to Pear
son. would take the stand. But he
did not show up and other Interior
officials indicated the Secretary would
not testify until tomorrow.
Tydings Answers Ickes.
Ickes recently criticized conduct Of
the investigation and Tydings replied
he should seek election to the Senate
If he wanted to run its affairs.
Paul Yates, former newspaper man
and Pearson's discharged assistant.
was today's first witness. He told how
he would reorganize the islands ad-
ministration if he had the power to
do so.
Asserting American management Of
the islands was inferior to that of the
Danes, from whom the United States
bought them In 1917, Yates advocated
the drafting of a new organic act.
merging the existing double system of
colonial government into one unit, with
universal suffrage and revision Of the
tax system.
He said In answer to a question by
Tydings that prohibition had created
Unreasonable poverty by destroying
the rum business which flourished in
the islands under Danish rule.
There have been rumors that Pear
son would resign, and that the island
administration might be placed under
the Navy Department iustead of the
Interior Department.
None Of the rumors has been con-
firmed. Gov. Pearson, after q confer
ence with the President last week,
announced he was going back as
Governor.
Counsel for the Senate committee,
Edward T. Colgan, IT,, of Baltimore,
said he was ignorant Of any surprise
move" in prospect. His witness list
for the resumption of hearings in
cluded two or three members of the
Colonial Councils Of st. Croix and
st. Thomas.

District Record Good.

H. o. L. C. officials said today COL
lections had been better in the Dis
trict than in other sections and that
although 1883 distress loans had been
approved here, only one foreclosure
proceeding had been instituted. This
action was attributed to legal COM
plications"
At the H. o. L. c.. it was said col
lections improved greatly when the
corporation arranged last Spring for
District borrowers to make payments
here rather than in Baltimore, as 1t
had been necessary previously. How
ever, an official stated, foreclosure &C.
ton probably will be instituted shortly
in number of local cases.
Foreclosure proceedings have been
instituted in "a cases in Maryland
where 14,475 loans. having q total val
uation of Sal, 732, $50, have been ap-
proved. Institution of proceedings in
q cases in Maryland was attributed
to abandonment of property, three to
willful default In payments and four
to the death Of the borrower.
In Virginia such action has been
started in Is cases, while the cor
poration has made 1886 loans for a
total of $34,51o,788 in the State.
The average loan in the District
S5,S05-was the highest for the
country.

The veto concerned the Webb
Kenyon act, which prevented ship
ment of liquor into dry States. The
message was sent to Congress by Mr..
Taft February %, 1918; Congress
passed it over the veto the same day;
constitutionality was upheld by the
Supreme Court In suit brought by
the Clark Distilling Co. in 1916; the
decision was 7 to 2, with Justices
Holmes and Van Devanter dissenting
May Prove Actual Aid.
The President has filed away his
evidence without saying anything,
except to few friends. He probably
will use it in speech during his COM
ing Western campaign. Thus, what
was intended as a stiff blow against
him may turn out to be wind on his
sails. He will be able to charge that
he is being misrepresented.
Some of the good Republicans here
began to manifest concern over this
situation recently, without knowing
about this particular incident. They
have about decided that their opposi-
ton camp is getting too big. Such
attacks as those made by Senator
Schall, for instance, are embarrassing
to intelligent opposition.
For this reason and others, the
Republicans notr are casting about
TOR an extra good publicity man,
who can center opposition publicity
along definite lines. They iodnt a
man Nth executive Advertising
background, capable OF outwitting
the Neto Deal publicity machine.
Another thing which Mr.. Roosevelt
has read with concern In the papers
lately is that Huey Long called him
"a liar" and "a fraud" or something
equally subtle.
Letters have been coming into the
White House from Mr.. Roosevelt's fol-
lowers, demanding that he do some
thing about such talk, that he stop
letting it pass unnoticed.
Denial Is Impossible.
Answers have been sent out that
the President will not and cannot do
anything. He cannot reasonably come
out with denial saying he is truth
full and honest man. Nor can he lower
the plane Of executive pronouncement
to Huey's level of personalities.
Therefore, silent suffering will
continue.

President Roosevelt was back at his
desk at the White House today after
a week end of cruising on the yacht
Sequoia, He was enthusiastic over his
outing, because he got in some good
fishing, and found time to clean up
his mail basket and dispose Of some
other business.
Sailing from Annapolis, Md, late
Friday. the President cruised leisurely
down Chesapeake Bay, stopping coca
sionally for fishing. He arrived at the
washington Navy Yard shortly after
9 o'clock last night.
The long journey provided oppor-
tunity for discussion with Attorney

DREsIDENT ROOSEVELT is

the opposition tide through
the press. He still reads the
papers each day. giving first atten-
ton to those which are slamming him
hardest.
Consequently, he was the first to
vince when one of the bitterest of
opposition writer's published an old
Taft veto message. In 1t Mr.. Taft
belabored Congress for satisfying
public whims by passing unconstitu-
tional laws. It was apparently q per-
tinent point and struck deep. Other
writers picked 1t up in good faith
without investigating 1t and spread it
broadcast.
The President considered 1t so Sc
rious blow that he looked into the
matter personally.
He discorered that Mr.. Taft had
sent such a Deto message to Con-
gress, but that Congress had passed
the ldD ouer the peto and the ST.
preme Court actually upheld its
constitutfondlity. In other words,
the New Deal antagonist had left

New legislation to throw added safe
guards around wage scales of laborers
and mechanics employed on Govern
ment construction projects is recon-
mended in the report of the Senate
Education and Labor Committee,
which spent more than year investi-
eating charges of ''kick-backs" and
other wage disputes on public projects.
The report, made public last night
by Chairman Walsh, states that un-
scrupulous contractors took full ad-
vantage of the acute unemployment
situation to exploit labor and to de-
prive workmen of the wages to which
they were by law entitled.

ployment was scarce and fearing to
jeopardize the meager income they
were receiving, did not make COM
plant themselves, but injustices. in
most instances, were brought to light
by trade-labor organizations. whose
cooperation and assistance have been
most helpful"
To make more effective existing
laws dealing with prevailing wage
rates on Government work the Senate
committee recommended the follow
ing amendments to the Bacon-Davis

To guarantee payment Of local pre-
vailing wages TO laborers and mechan-
les on all Federal construction work

To provide for a predetermination
Of the prevailing wage on contracts 50
that the contractor may know def

will be.
To provide for withholding pay

borers and mechanics who have not
been paid prevailing wages.
To provide system Of co-ordina-
ton between various Government de-
partments to assure that the Govern
ment will not be in the position of
continuing to contract with a contrac-
tor who disregards his obligations to
his employees and subcontractors.
To provide remedies for laborers and
mechanics aggrieved by forced rebates
or failure to pay the prevailing rate
Of wages by allowing such laborers
and mechanics to have the same right
of action against the contractor and

conferred by the bond statute on per-
sons furnishing labor and materials
