Air Hen Houses

When hen houses are hot both
night and day, hens are not able
properly to assimilate calcium for
making egg shells, and they natu-
rally stop laying. Structures with
windows In front only are hot by
day, and do not cool off at night in
summer. It is easy to cut openings
on the north side, to open the
windows just as soon as warm
weather comes In the spring, and to
leave them open until cold weather
comes In the fall Anyone who has
attempted to Gull out the hens that
have been semi-roasted out of lay
ing appreciates the condition Of
these houses. It really is a wonder
that the birds lay at all.

Ticking Out Thof
Tired Feeling

Blood TRANSMISSION does wonders for
that "tired feeling" states the Gaines
Dog Research Center, New York City.
If the blood of fatigued dog is trans
ferred into a dog that is not tired and
the blood of the untired dog is stimuli
taneously transfused into the fatigued
animal, the second dog will quickly
give evidence of being tired and the
first one will show signs of reinvigo-
ration.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark.-(SNSl-
Governor Homer M Adkins, out
going of Arkansas, has refused to
free Tee Davis, Negro tenant far
mer serving a ter year sentence
for defending his home against IL
legal entry
In a letter to the Workers De-
Tense League. Governor Adkins,
who said II have received hun
dreds of letters and kilograms" on
the case, based his refusal to free
Davis on the fact THAT in Sept. 1887
he was convicted of assault. That
conviction came because Davis
fired a shotgun into the air to
scare away workers who were be-
ing brought into Arkansas by truck
to break the cotton workers strike
called by the Southern Tenant
Farmers Union.
Davis had shot through the, door
of his home at Edmondson, Ark,
which was being broken down at
night by on unknown person who
later identified himself as Deputy
Sheriff Weaver. Governor Adkins
wrote Morris Milgram, WDL Ma

14th Amendment
Needs Chance,
Asserts Wogg
Predicts Negro
Will Remain In
Great Northwest

PORTLAND, Ore.-{ANPl- The
way to handle the Negro problem
is simply to follow the constitution
of the United States
That advice was given recently
by Talbot Wegg, an official of the
National Association OF Housing
officials, during the annual meeting
here of the Federal Public Hous-
ing authority as he pointed o u
that ''the Negro is here to stay"
LIVE SIDE BY SIDE
On the subject of public housing
and the Negro, Wegg said that
the 18th amendment to the con-
stitution can and does work when
given a chance. Let anyone who
doubts it visit Yosler Terrace IN
Seattle where four, not merely two
races have lived side by side in
relative harmony for four years.
adding that "in certain enlight-
ened communities in the cast there
are longer records which prove
the same truth"
The return of Negroes to Ala
bama or Texas will not solve the
problem, Wegg declared, but add
ed that If the northwest presents
attractive opportunities to white
dust bowl farmers, how much more
attractive it must appear to the
Negro accustomed to all the ira
ditional restraints of the east and
south" If jobs are not available
her for Negroes, the chances are
there won't be any back there
either. he said.

In addition to the one prepared

Regarding other forms of legis-

the New York stature having the
widest scope The statutes of Cali

Wisconsin apply only to civil SER
wants. Discrimination by trade I'M

New York, and Pennsylvania.
Interesting features of these laws
are: the application of the New
York act to public utilities; the
prohibition in the California law
of any notation of a civil service
applicants race, color, or religion:
the provision for reinstatement and
reimbursement of aggrieved en-
ployes in the Minnesota law; the
power of the labor commissioner
under New Jersey law to make
deductions in the nature of penali-
ties from the amounts due discri-
minating contractors; and finally
the provision in the New York law
making those who aid or incite a
violation equally guilty.
