By the time the 77th Congress convenes the Capitol will be spick and span, clean and crisp. How much corn can a couple of full-grown, healthy chickens eat in a specified time? That question was answered in a guessing contest held at the county fair last week by the A. M. Hays Co. A hen and rooster were placed in a cage and plenty of shelled corn was given them.

The idea was to guess how many kernels of corn the pair would eat in the three and one-half days before close of the fair. Merle V. Baker, Fresno Route 2, guessed 2376 and was exactly right, for the chickens ate just that many. Howard Nowels of Adamsville and Jesse Turner, Sixteenth and Elm Coshocton, were second and third with 2375 and 2378, respectively, There were 1560 guesses entered. The number of kernels eaten represents about three good-sized ears of corn.

It was forecast that the first real indication of a surge of religious sentiment might be apparent in an increased attendance at where religious education is part of the program. Only a week ago priests were compelled to read an official decree announcing that religious education at schools was no longer compulsory. But yesterday in all churches of the Vienna archdiocese a circular letter was read from Cardinal Innitzer, archbishop of Vienna and now storm center of the religious controversy, appealing to parents to make their children attend relig-ous-education schools.

Many priests urged parents to make sure that their children also received religious education at home.

Post (Continued on Pnp Bighti Hamilton county common pleas court on Nov. 6, 1937, under nn indictment charging her with murdering Jacob Wagner of Cincinnati by giving him poison. Another indictment accused her of poisoning George Gsellman but she was tried only under the Wagner indictment. She was originally scheduled to die in the electric chair at Ohio penitentiary last March 10 but her appeal to the Ohio supreme court gave her an automatic stay of execution. The court refused to hear her appeal and set May 4 as the date for her execution.

She was granted an indefinite stay of execution on May 3 in order to permit her attorneys to carry the appeal to the U. S. court. Beyond the supreme cuort she has no avenue of appeal except the governor. It is within his power to grant executive lemency to any condemned person but a governor does not ordinarily override the courts unless new evidence is presented.

Mrs. Hahn's attorneys carried their appeal to the high court on the grounds that the trial was conducted improperly. They challenged validity of the indictment and the state's bill of particulars, claiming that the bill of particulars outlining the state's charges did not give Mrs. Hahn ample time to prepare her defense. The Ohio supreme court will set a new date for Mrs.

Hahn's execution as soon as the formal mandate of the U. S. supreme court is received in Columbus. WASHINGTON The supreme court today refused to review the conviction and imprisonment of Thomas J. Mooney in an action which appeared to close virtually the last avenue thru which the famous convict might win freedom in the courts.

His attorney, John F. Fin-nerty, however, immediately obtained permission to renew a three-year-old application for an original writ of habeas corpus. Institution of this new legal measure made it certain that the famous case will again receive technical consideration by the high court. The court's refusal to review the Mooney conviction was announced in the court order list which un-precedentedly noted that Justices Hugo L. Black and Stanley Reed dissented from the decision.

The motion for an original writ was denied by the supreme court three years ago without prejudice because then the case had not been taken thru state courts. The petition denied by the court today was for a review of the state court's dismissal of the petition for habeas corpus advised by the high tribunal three years ago.
