They left Ithaca on December 23 for Christ mas tour which started in New York, takes the boys on an extended tour of the south, and ends with concert in Toledo on the night of January 4.
 They travel in a special train, which for luxurious appointments has never been surpassed in this country. There are two baggage cars four Pullmans, and a diner. The baggage cars are so arranged that each man has ready ac- cess to his trunk the entire trip as often as it is necessary to don evening clothes in a hurry on the train
 The four Pullmans are the finest eves turned out and have only been used as private cars, two by great theatrical stars and two by railroad presidents, There are two porters 10 every car to give the boys every attention and a diner will be carried. open at all times, for no mathematical professor has as vet been able to correctly measure the appetite of the college boy.
 The entire trip is run off as if by cloclxworl. There is certain time fol each student to be in his bed. It is put late enough or rather early enough so as not to be hardship. The boys must also put in an hours practice ev- cry morning, as they realize they have u reputation for musical excellence which must be continually increased,
 The train de luxe left Ithaca De- cember 2G for New York, where 8 cohcert was given in the evening at the Hotel Astor. The day before Christmas the boys embarked on the good ship City of Montgomery' for

MISS KELLY
 GOES TO HUNTSVILLE

Miss Maud Mcclure Kelly has gone to Huntsville to be present at the unveiling of a marker on the Jackson Traeep on Tuesday. The marker is a granite mile stone on the order of a boulder and is of "U. s. D. 1S12'' design.
 The event will be an important one.
 The marker will be formally presented
 and will be accepted by the mayor, on
 behalf of the city, by the judge of pro- bate, on behalf of the county, the gov ernor has been asked to respond on be- half of the people of Alabama, and Gov ernor Hooper of Tennessee to bring greetings from Tennessee. Among other prominent people in attendance will be Mrs. w. G. Spencer of Nashville, presi- dent of the Tennessee r. s. D.. 1872, and honorary regent of the Tennessee Daugh- ters of the American Revolution
 This event will form q part of the cell | ebration of the centennial of the war of 1912, of which the Creek war was part. The Jackson trace is the road traverscd | by General Jackson when he came into
 Alabama for that campa-gn. It begins at | Fayetteville, Tenn, ana ends at Fort | Jackson, or Fort Toulouse near Mont | gomery. This trace, which has never been
 marked, will be marked along it's entire | length by the United States Daughters of 1912 of Alabama, will the various other historic roads, traces and trails of the state, they having been constructed | almost exclusively in the nation build | ing' period of our history, which this society commemorates. Tn addition to | the Jackson Trace" and other purely
 "1S12' roads, there is one with a most
 interesting history of the revolutionary
 period, one of the few, If not the only, spot in Alabama which has history of
 that period. This is in danger of beeoni-
 ing entirely obliterated and forgotten, and the Alabama Daughters of 1872 have been
 urged to take it mp, since they have done more than any other organization in this
 state for historic and commemorative roads.

 1t is rather a far cry from the rod and bob and transit of the civil engineer to the mandolin, but MT. Frank Sheldon Selby. leader of the Cornell Mandolin club, has mastered them both. True, MT, Selby is not a full-hedged C. E., but he will secure degree next June.
 As leader of q college mandolin club he is said to have few equals in the col lege world today For the past three years he has been a member of the Cor nell Mandolin club his playing with that organization winning him it's leadership.
 Mr. Selby is one of the leaders in stu dent life at Cornell He is a member of the Beta Theta Pi Fraternity, the Saw age club and the Semaphore. civil en- gineering honorary society. He also plays in the university orchestra.
 Under the leadership of MT. Selby the Mandolin club of Cornell has attained a high state of perfection this year, and under his direction the knights of the pick will undoubtedly give a most en- joyable concert when they play at the Country club,

JERSEY MAN KEEPS
 IDEAL UTILITY FOWL
Hens Lay Large White Shelled Eggs of the Best
 Market Grade
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun
 Albert Angel, Jr, poultryman of Lakewood, N J., claims to be the orig inator of a new breed of fowl which he has named the White Egg American fowl MT. Angel claims that the new breed, which he has perfected after 10 years of experimental work. is the ideal utility fowl. It has been the dream of poultrymen for years to produce large heavy market fowl that would be a prolific layer of large white shelled eggs. Many of the state experi-s ment stations have worked along these lines. but without success. It is a well known fact that all the American and English breeds of poultry that now are used as market birds lay only brown shelled eggs. Poultry authorities have stated that birds of heavy weight with yellow legs and skin could not be bred to retain these qualifications if they laid white shelled eggs.
 The fowl as produced by MT. Angell has all the characteristics of the heavy American breeds such as the Rhode Island Reds, Plymouth Rocks, Wyan- dottes, etc, but instead of laying the brown shelled egg lays a large white shelled egg and as many of the White Leghorns.
 The new breed is to be introduced formally to the poultry world at the Madison Square Garden poultry show December 31 to January i, when sew eral specimens will be on exhibition. MT. Angen values each of the birds which will be exhibited at 5000, but says that he will not sell any of them even at that price.

PERSONALITIES IN
 CORNELL MUSICAL CLUBS

The concert tomorrow evening at the Country club by the Cornell Glee, Banjo and Mandolin clubs will be one of the final joyous events of the holiday sea son so fast slipping b$.
 The members of the musical clubs VIII be royalty received, MT. Meredyth Rob erts' lovely reception at the Country club introducing them, and dance after the concert promising to make their visit to Birmingham delightful episode.
 The dance which will follow the con cert is to include the members of the Growlers and kindred organizations Bachelor Girls. Highland Clan and the Test 10 whom a cordial invitation is eN- tended and who are assured that even though they cannot -attepT the concert they will be expected al sthe dance.
 The men who arc with the musical clubs this year are pronounced even more at tractive than the usual Cornell men. The above photographs picture several who are especially popular among the local contingent who know the Cornell men. The tenor, Mir. George Macnoe. it is said. has sung himself into the hearts of thou sands who have heard him on his many trips with the clubs. He is from Danns- vile, N. Y., and although but a humble freshman when he entered Cornell, im- lnediatelv made a name for himself mus ically He took the Christmas trip through the south that year. when he was one of the three members of his class to achieve this honor and on that trip sang his first solo for the clubs, Sweet Marie" Throughout his college course MT. Macnoe has been in all the concerts and on all the trips of the clubs, invariably giving one or more of his ever welcome solos. In his junior year he was a member of the quartet, highly coveted position. Fitting. indeed. was it that he should this year be accorded the position of the presidency of the Combined Mus ical Clubs of Cornell.
 Mir. Macnoe's popularity is not by any means due to his musical ability alone. His attractive personality has won for him the enviable position tliat he holds among his fellow students, This is at tested by his election to the many com mittees and honorary societies from the time he first entered Cornell.
 It was through strenuous competition that MT. T. j. Chamberlain was chosen, at the end Of his sophomore year, as the most efficient of a score of eompetl- tors. for the position of assistant man ager of the Cornell Musical Clubs, which ke now holds.

Savannah and Christmas was spent on the briny water
 To student who has looked forward all term to being home for Christmas this might seem hardship but in reality it was the gayest kind of d lark.

Naturally each started inn mediately planning a Christmas box of "girlie goodies" so that the City Of Montgomery" carried enough fudge salads, and other indigestibles to feed q multitude.
