Secretary Garrison told the national woman's party, headed by Mrs. Robert M. LaFollette, that he was strictly op posed to the Idea of federal manufac ture of war munitions. ! Congressman Bartholdt of Missouri In making his farewell speech In con gress before his retirement next month, denounced the American press I for Its antl-Oerman attitude.

Secretary Walcott of the Smithso nian Institute told the house naval committee that although It was an American, Samuel P.

Upon his statement the committee I has recommended the passage of a bill authorising the president to appoint an advisory commission of scientists to work on air craft development. By a tie vote In the senate com mittee on Internal affairs the attempt to reconsider the decision not to probe the allegations of graft In the recent senatorial elecUons in Illinois and Pennsylvania was lost, so there will be no congressional investigation of either the election of Senators Pen rose or Lawrence Y.

Nineteen Democrats voted against the measure, including Con gressman Kltchin, the next adminis tration floor leader. Congressman Mann, the minority leader, gave up his efforts at filibuster when he dis covered Its futility. He said while he supported President Wilson In his ef forts toward neutrality, he felt the merchant marine would mean this country would surely be drawn Into the European complications. Congress man Alexander of Mlsouri was the chief defender of the president In the debate. ' * ' Congressman Hughes has Introduc ed a bill providing for a federal cen sorship of the moving picture films. Although the merchant marine bill passed the house, it has met with iitrong opposition in the senate where it Is said it is likely to meet the same fat* as the original bill. Opposing the amendments to the bill are the pro gressive republican leaders Including Senators LaFollette, Kenyon and Nor ris, who state the bill as It now stands Is too temporary In Its ef fect. The Democratic bolters still maintain that It is to* permanent In Its provisions. The present bill amended is ths work of Sena'ora Gore, of Oklahoma, and Weeks of Massachusetts.

The studding, raft ers , sills and plates are all of 2 by 4's. The upright* are placed 30 Inches apart, roof timbers two feet apart The frame Is' covered with a good grade of hemlock matched boards, which In turn is covered on the north side, east and west ends with a good grade of roofing paper. The south side is painted with two coats. The rear or north side of roof is not alio'wed to project This makes It possible to lap the roofing over thi* joint, making It practically air tight The roosting closet Is double boarded, Including the west end. In very cold weather a muilln curtain 1* let down, in front. This comes to within 'six Inches of the bottom of the roost plat form. Thi* curtain should not be used except on exceedingly severe cases of cold weather. w There are in the front, two windows of glass, each light 9 by 12 Inches. These window* are hinged on the In ■lde, *o as to swing in and against the.wall when open. These windows are about two feet above the floor. There Is also an opening 8 feet long by 2 feet wide, which 1* covered with 1-Inch poultry netting. Here also a muslin or burlap covered curtain frame Is hinged to be lowered In se vere weather. This curtain is so blnged as to swing up against the roof where It Is fastened when open. This will admit plenty of fresh air which Is essential. The roost platform is 16 feet loui and 3% feet wide and 3 feet above the floor.. There are two roosts IS feet long, framed together and' only two Inches above roost platform. The nests are made like drawers, pulling from a shelf 21 Inches wide and 18 inches high, along th* west end of house. There are ten of these nests. The top Is built slanting to prevent fowl* from roosting on the same at night. Along the east end are K grit hopper oyster shell hopper and a large dry maah hopper.

FARM POULTRY SURROUNDINGS FOR POULTRY Most Important of Conditions Com fronting Poultrymsn v la That ef Proper Sanitation. (By J. JEFFERT.) There la perhaps no branch of poul try work about which ibore questions ars asked or Information Is ffiore wanted than diseases. There Is also no branch of work that It Is bettsr for the poultry man tokeep away from than doctoring (Jck fowls. Poultry men throughout the country suffer heavy losses from disease* at times not so much becauso they do not know how to cure dlsesse as because they do not understand the principles of sanitation and the Importsttee of pre ventive rather than curative measures. The Importance of sanitation ha* In creased with the growth of the poultry Hsns of This Kind Will Msks Profit If Olvon Hslf a Chance.

Poultry house* mutt be built with a view of providing plonty of freih air and aunahlne for the bird* and th* houses must be kept abaolutely clean. While houses have been mentioned first, the ground around the buildings Is perhaps more often to blame for troubles, both with the chicks and with adult fowla. In faot, it is bsing recognized mors and more that ths condition of the soli can very largely make or mar success in poultry rais ing. Failure to realise this, and that soil originally In' good condition for poultry raising may, by mlause and neglect get Into such a condition that profita ble poultry keeping on It is Impossible, 1* responsible for many of the failure* we have with poultry. While thi* con dition become* apparent more quickly and is mare often found among flocks kept on limited quarters, such as a town lot, it Is not by any means un known among farm flocks. Many psopls who msks a success on the start with a -few fowla very quick* ly get Into trouble for which the ground la responsible when they In crease their flock and do not take pre cautions to prsvsnt the ground from being tainted from the droppings. Poultry benefits by crop rotation just as much as any othar farm crop if it Is made a feature In ths rotation. Ths best way to keep the ground In good condition for poultry Is to grow crops on it aa well as poultry. If the land has already become unfit for raising poultry on, it will be best to give up this line of business for a time. The A Fine Bird to Head a Floats. (roe use of lime and the growing of crops, with the neo*Hßry turning ot the ground, are the beat ways to freshen the ground and got It back Into such a condition that It will ha profitable to grow chickens on.

Memory Vsraos, 11, 12—Qoldan Text, I Sam. vii, 42—Commentary Prepared by RWv. D. M. Stearns. , When the uien of Ileth-shemeah lost 60.070 men because of their trans gression they sent to the men of Kir-1 jutb-jeurlui to come anil, take the ark away from them, for they said, "Who! 1* able to stand before thi* holy Lord. GodY" Their question Is a very sug-| gestive one, for the holiness which God requires In ills luw, which Is holy and Just uud good. Is so great: that no uiun can stand before It even 1 as It Is written: "If thou. Lord, should-' est mark Iniquities O Lord, who shall I stand? But there Is forgiveness with j thee • * •" (Horn, vli, 12; Ps. exxx, | 8). The way out for all, for all have alnned and come short, la that the nec essary holiness Is found In Christ who perfectly kept this holy law and I* made righteousness unto all who re ceive Him (II Cor. v. 21; I Cor. i, 80). The ark found a resting place at Kir- Jath-jearim fur many year* In the bouse of Ablnadab In the bill until David removed It to a tent which be bnd pitched for It in Jeruaaiem (II Bam. vi, 3. 4i. After It had been twen ty years there Israel seetued to awake to a desire for the Lord, for It la aald | that they "lamented after the Lord" I (verses 1, 2i. it may have lieen that after the. catastrophe at Kbenexer.

The Philistines, bearing of the Israel movement, wenl up against them, for when the peopli of (jod turn to Him with purpose of heart the devil always wakes up to oppose. Israel did the right thing In saying to Bamuel. not to cry unto the Lord our God for us." So Samuel offered a sacrifice and cried unto the Lord, and the Lord heard blm aud tbuudered with a great thun der mid discomfited the Philistines, and they cttme no more Into the coast ol Israel all the days of Bamuel (versei 7-13). We are reminded of such words ax these: "The God of glory tbundereth;" "God thundereth marvelously with Hla voice; great things doeth He which we cannot comprehend" (Pa xxlx, 8; Job xxxvil. Si. Neither tbun der nor lightning should cause us any fear If we are right with Him, bul should rather v3 make us rejoice to heat His voice ih see His might At Noah, Daniel and Job are quoted ai samples' of righteous,men (Ezek. xlv, 14-20), so Uoses and Samuel are men tioned as great Intercessors (Jer. xv, 1). At the same place prhere th Philistines conquered Israel and cap tared the srk there the Lord overthrew them snd delivered Israel (chapter lv, 1; vll, 12), and Samuel set up hla me mortal stone snd ssld, "Hitherto hath th* Lord helped us."
