Chief Eberstein of the federal bu-
reiu of investigation declares the ut

cealed in foreign tongues most come

"In the past," he said, "it has been
a simple thing for irresponsible ora
tors of the hair-trigger variety to hurl
their specjous arguments at their au
diences without fear of 4nterruption
from the authorities, because the
authorities could riot understand what
they said. In the future they will
orate in English or not at all And
the minute their utterances become
such that they constitute sedition they
will be put where they can't have any
audiences.
"We have been patient with this
brand of traitors, but out patience is
at an end. When our country and
other free countries are fighting for
their lives we do not propose to have
the issue jeopardized by these irre

1 A nation-wide campaign is being launched to inaease the -number
of small flocks of hens in the United States.
It is a war measure. It is addressed to the city and town
dweller more than to anyone else. , " y .
' ; It Is a measure of economy. It will supply hundreds of
thousands' of families with cheap, clean eggs, raised at home.
It will save food and prevent waste.
The central idea is to utilize the table scraps from every
family, table to feed a small flock of hens. The average
famy,-says the Department of Agriculture; throws away
enough table scraps to provide an egg for each member of the
family. .What is needed are the hens to turn the scraps into
'ggs,0.v" -: : : .-' . ,
Just how this should be' done is fully described in an of
ficial iflustrated book, now being distributed free by The Bee. (
If you are Interested in the possibilities of keeping chickens', 1
either as ajnattjer of patriotism or of saving money, or both,
send your name and address with a 2-cerit stamp for return
postage to The Omaha Bee Information Bureau, Washington,
D. C You will receive an illustrated booklet with full direc
tions for sousing eggs in your own back yard. Ask for the.
