Q I would like some informa
tion on an Act passed by the
Pennsylvania Legislature giving
county authorities the legal right
to place a hen up to 50 per cent
on the wages of a man delinquent
in support payments to de
pendents I understand the Act
was signed by Governor Fine in
1954 J R C
A You are appaiently refer
ring to the Pennsylvania Civil
Procedural Suppoit Law of 1953
which provides for the attaching
of wages of any person owing a
duty of support by serving a cei
tified copy of the order of sup
port on the employer, together
with an order directing the em
ployer, among other things, to
make no payment to the person
against whom the order of sup
port is entered over 50 per cent
of the amount due him until fur
ther order of the court
The court shall then determine
the amount of wages which shall
be paid regularly by the em
ployer to the Domestic Relations
Division of the Court and shall
so notify the employer
Q Do you have to file a will
for probate as soon as the pei
sen dies or do you have a ceitain
time’ I was told that if you do
not file a will as soon as the per
son dies, the will is not valid
A The laws of Pennsylvania
provide that a will, other than a
at the

nuncupative will, may be ofTeied
for probate at any time after the
death of the person who wrote the
will
A nuncupative will is defined
as an oial will, declared or dic
tated by the testator in his last
sickness before a sufficient num
ber of witnesses, and aftei wards
i educed to wnting A nuncupa
tive will may not be admitted to,
probate unless notice has fust
been given to those who would
be entitled to the estate in case
the person had died without
making a will
Q Is a landlady permitted to
charge 3 per cent sales tax on
room ient ?
A Under ttie provisions of the
Hotel Occupancy Tax Act, an
opeiator of a rooming house, as
suming that you are referring to
such a situation in your question,
is lequired to collect a 3 per cent
fax on the rent received for the
occupancy of a 100 m or rooms for
less than 30 days One who has
occupied or has had the right to
occupy a room or rooms for at
least 30 days is deemed to be a
peimanent resident and is then
excluded from the imposition of
the tax.
Kangroos May Help
In Cattle Research
A vetei inary research problem
may be aided by the wallaby, a
kangroo type animal weighing 4-
10 pounds and native to Australia,
according to the American Veteri
nary Medical Association
The wallaby has a complex
stomach somewhat similar to ru
minant animals such as cows,
sheep and goats Australian vet
erinarians leport that the animal
survives well under the poor
giazmg conditions of Australia’s
ccntial descits
Of less economic value and
smaller in size than ruminants,
the wallabies may piove to hi of

Whv laying Pullets Pick One
Anotner
There are five mam reasons for
cannibalism in laying pullets
1 They may learn to pick dur
ing the starting and growing
period
2 A layer is in a constant state
of pregnancy and therefore has
many cravings for various foods
3 Lack of exercise and not
enough to do
4 A tendency toward prolapses
(evetsion of the egg laying organs)
in some strains
5 Inherited cannibalistic ten
dencies in some strains
Picking Among Chicks and Glow
ing Pullets Chicks may start pick
ing beacyse they are too warm,
beause they are left too long with
out feed or do not have an ade
quate water supply White-washed
walls causing too bright a house
can cause picking in chicks and
older birds
Pullets on range that cannot get
out of the houses at daybreak
frequently start to pick because
they are hungry, thirsty and don’t
have anything else to do
We will discuss Number 2 next
Aveek
Babcock Bessies and all Leg
horns bred by Babcock are gentle
strains and do not have a tendency
toward mkmg Just the same, any
strain of any breed ivill pick if
improperly managed
Babcock Bessies will come up in
to large eggs for you rapidly which
will increase your profits tremend
ously next summer and fall Write
