A conservation measure of vast Importance, says tho annual report of the secretary of commerce, Is the rescuing of food fishes that are left In temporary ponds, lakes, pools and sloughs on the subsid ence of the Hoods of the Mississippi river and tributary streams. The an nual losses of valuable ilsh life owing to the drying or freezing of all these shallow waters have been enormous and have affected the food supply of tho entire region from Minnesota and Wisconsin to Mississippi and Louisi ana. Thus the situation Is clearly one that comes under the federal purview, and the bureau of tlsherlcs has ns sufned the task of mitigating, as far as resources will permit, the yearly de struction of food fishes. Its operations McCormick Would Shake Up Departments BOLITION of the Department of the Interior, creation of two new de partments one to he known as the Department of Public Works and the other as the Department of Public Wel fare and general reorganization of other governmental departments Is pro posed In a hill prepared by Senator McCormick, Republican, Illinois, for Introduction nt this session of con gress. Senator McCormick Is now In Eu rope and the principal provisions of his bill were outlined In n statement Issued f'om his office. The statement said that while the bill would be intro duced early In the session action on It probably would be deferre'd until after the Inauguration of President-elect Hnrdtng. The statement added that the Illinois senator, after completing the measure, discussed the proposed changes with Mr. Harding, "who ex pressed great Interest In the bill." The proposed Department of Public Works, under the bill, would Include nil Important engineering and building services of the government. The de partment of public welfare would In clude various welfare agencies of the government, such ns the woman's bu reau, now In the Department of Labor; the pension bureau, now In the Depart ment of the Interior; the public health service, the bureau of war risk Insur ance and the vocational training board. The Department of Commerce would We Are Living in a Cn 7 CIIAIIACTHKIZINC? the progress In the radio art as "nothing short of phenomenal," Major General Squler. chief signal officer of the army. In his annual report, says that from a tech nical point of view there has never been a period when the whole subject of electrical methods and means of In tercommunication was In a more healthful state. General Squler reports that not withstanding the estimated general In crease In cost of telephone service of 20 per cent throughout the country, the signal corps succeeded In decreas ing the cost to the army by 42.72 per cent. He believes that, as a matter of pol icy, the signal corps should own, main tain and operate telephone systems nt all permanent activities and announces Poor Old Nineteenth POOH old Nineteenth amendment's troubles are far from being over, according to the Nntlonal Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage. Anyway, the organization with this elongated and Impressive nnme says It bns Just begun to light. In other words the Nntlonnl Associa tion Opposed to Woman Suffrage an nounces that It has begun a new cam paign. There are two purposes which anlmnte the association and Inspire the campaign. One Is nothing less than the repeal of the Nineteenth amend ment. The other Is the passage of leg islation to restore "state rights." It proposes to have congress pass an amendment , requiring ratification by popular vote of all amendments to the Constitution. The nntl-suffrage association, In an nnnlysls of Hie woman vote In the re rent election, saya, "the majority of ... l rJ w beliig supplemented by those of neveiul states. During the fiscal year IIV.'O. more particularly In the period from .Inly to November, tho number of food fishes rescued from the overflowed lands bor dering the Mississippi and tributaries reached the noteworthy total of IfiQ, (V.n.lMX), all of which would inevitably hove perished. This salvaged output, which was about 1(XU)00,(MH) In exCcs of the results In any previous veasnn. was returned to the open waters In the vicinity of the points of collection, with the exception of "less than 1.00th 000 tlsbes of various species of bass Hint were used In supplying Individual applicants or In satisfying the requisi tions of IWIi commissions. The young fish saved In the llt'JO op erations. If they had been hutched and reared In the usual manner nt the ordi nary fish-cultural establishments, would have required several hundred such stations to produce. The entire cost of the rescue work was only I ft cents per 1,000 tlsh for about 7IS per cent of the output. The expense was higher at certain points where the col lections were lighter and the overhead charges were fixed, so that the average cost was somewhat under 20 cents pur 1,000 fish rescued and planted. be enlarged so as to increuse Its use fulness to business. Creation of an office In the state de partment to have Jurisdiction over in sular affairs and territories such ns Alaska would be provided for. The alien property custodian's otllce and the division of the secret service would be placed under the department of Jus tice. The office of the comptroller of currency would he ubollshed and Its function transferred to the federal re serve bonrd. The McCormick measure also would abolish the hoard of mediation and conciliation and transfer Its functions to the Department of Labor, and abol ish the council of national defense and discontinue Its functions. The mensure transfers to the deport ment of commerce the weather bureau, patent ofllce, coast guard, lake survey ofllce, hydrogrnphlc ofllce. nnvnl ob servatory and Inland and coustwlse waterways service. Tenth - Second World that ns rapidly as the permanent sta tus of military posts becomes known negotiations will be opened with the telephone companies for the purchnse of war activity telephone systems. Asserting that with suitable appara tus messages may be exchanged be tween any two points on the surface of the globe, General Squler says we are In fart living In a "tenth-second world," since with suitable equipment any radio Impulse pusses between any two points within this time. Perhaps the most Important of the many developments worked out dur ing the year by the signal corps has been the putting Into practical use of General Squler's own Invention of ap plying radio telephony and telegruphy to bare wires laid In the sea or In the earth. Nev developments Include n system of potential wave engineering Involv ing no earth return, the utilization of wave colls as antennae und u static elimination scheme. In addition there has also been car ried out dining the year a number of experiments with wired radio on rail road lines which resulted In the su perposition of radio telephone and ra dio telegraph circuits on ordlnory wire telephone and telegraph circuits over a maximum distance of 1.10 miles. Amendment in Bad women stayed nt home" and "Instead of twelve million only nine or ten mil lion women voted." "In other words," says the nnnlysls, "only one-third of the 27,000,000 wom en eligible to vote, about which the suffragists have been shouting for yenrs, could be persuaded to go to the polls." No wonder Uie N. A. O. T. W. 8. Is on the wur path. Department of Agriculture Recom mends Careful Selection of Breeding Stack. The campaign that has been Inaugu rated by the United States Department of Agriculture to stimulate and In crease poultry production along more efficient lines Is divided Into the fol lowing phases: Careful selection of breeding stock to reproduce a larger percentage of good types of prolltable producers. Knrly hatching, so as to produce fall and winter layers. To confine mother bens to brood coops for at least two weeks after the chicks are batched. To provide free range for both grow ing stock and layers In so far as pos sible to stimulate growth and proline Hon ami conserve food consumption. To preserve eggs for winter use. Tho production of Infertile oygs as soon ns the breeding season Is over. Disposing of Surplus cockerels as broilers to conserve grain. To discourage the marketing of all profitable hens of the general purpose cluss until the end of their second year, and of the Mediterranean or egy class until the end of their third do ing year. To encourage the careful selection of all hens In order to eliminate the unprovable producers. To discourage the marketing of nil prolltable pullets as broilers and of all well-mntured pullets for meat. To encourage tho caponlzing of cock erels only when free range can be provided and a special nearby market afforded. Td encourage hnck-yard poultry keeping, especially among city nnd suburbnn dwellers, thereby' utilizing Lcynorns Are vtfeil Adapted for Pro dlictlon of Eggs. tuble scraps for the production of fowls and eggs for homo consump tion. To enconrnge turkey, duck and geese raising when clrcumstunces are favorable. TO KEEP HENS COMFORTABLE House Must Be Kept Dry, Well Ven tllatcd and Sufficient Space for Scratching. Tho poultry house Is both tho home of the ben and the factory where winter eggs are produced, and unless It provides suitable living and working conditions the hen cannot be expected to lay well. Tho chief requirement Is that the bouse must keep the birds comfortable. To be comfortable the house must bo dry, well ventilated, well lighted and have sulllcleut floor space to provide exer cise by scratching. Dryness Is In sured by having a. good roof, keep ing the floor of the house higher than the surrounding ground, and by pro viding good ventilation. Ventilation must supply plenty of fresh air with out drafts. This Is secured In tho poultry houso by having the south side relatively open and the other three sides absolutely tight. The im portance of light In the. poultry house has not been properly cmplm sized In the past. FERTILE EGGS FOR HATCHING Maximum Fertility Not Likely to Be Obtained Before Two Weeks After Mating Fowls. Matliigs should be made at least two weeks before beginning to save the eggs for batching. If lew time Is allowed, the maximum fertility Is not likely to be obtained. It Is often desirable to mate even further abend than two weeks so that a few eggs can be Incubated for five or six days to see whether they are fertile If these eggs ure not fertile, there Is still time to change the male bird and thus be sure of fertile eggs for the earlier hatches. FRESH AIR VERY IMPORTANT Not Advisable to Close All Windows at First Approach of Cold Weather In Fall. Don't close all the windows In the henhouse at tho first approach of cold weather, but leave some of them open. If the wind blows In, put a piece of burlap over the open space to keep out the wind, but let in ulr.
