JuLlET's BALCONY.
II Looks Just as 1t Did When Romeo
Wooed the Sweet Veronese.

Wooed the Sweet Veronese.
This was the home of the Capulets,
from whom descended Juliet, for
whom so many kind hearts have wept
and of whom the poets have sung.
You read the words on tablet by
the side of a tall and slender gray
house in a quiet street of Verona. A
few steps farther on the busy life Of
the old city is centered in the market
place and in the one or two streets
that lead from it. You stand in front
Of the lightly built dwelling, and you
look at the slim balcony of wood from
which bent forward the form of the
radiant girl whose undying love story
has echoed down the ages. 1t is an
autumn day, and within the rail of the
narrow framework some one has plac-
ed red flowers in tall green pots. A
curtain at the little window moves in
the breeze, and you expect at any mo-
ment to see the dainty form of Juliet
appear and to hear ripping laugh fall
from her lips.
A woman steps from the room be,
yond, through the open window and
stands to listen She has child in
her arms, and he claps his hands,
laughing and growing, no doubt just as
the beloved Veronese did centuries ago
The mother bushes him, for she is in
tently listening to the market cries.
In the midst Of that everyday life
walks the immortal Juliet-LOndon

$4,000 LOADED
CHICKENS DYING
Crops Were Stuffed With Sand
to Make Weight

New York, May 21.-Twenty car
loads of live chickens, 1000 chickens
to the car, were being held N Jersey
City because angry jobbers refused to
receive them Hardly live chicken
was handled by dealers.
The trouble arose over recent COM
plant of jobbers that receivers were
stuffing the chickens crops with
weight producing sand and gravel to
make up for shrinkage sustained in
transit. Until receivers agree to aban-
don the practice the dealers say they
will boycott all live poultry. Ordinarily
about $4,000 live fowls are handled
daily.
Hundreds of chickens were dying
N their crates and it was said the a.
tention of the Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Animals had been
called to the matter.
The situation is blamed by the
wholesalers on the jobbers and by the
jobbers on the western shippers OF
live poultry.
THE shippers are the guilty par
ties" said one of the leading receiv-
ers. "They send caretakers along with
their stock with instructions to keep
the birds hungry all the way to Jer-
sey City. Most of the poultry comes
from as far west as Missouri. The day
the chickens are to be sent across the
river to our market the caretakers
feed them great quantities of bread
and meal, mixed with sand and gravel.
Each chicken gets about a quarter
of pound of additional weight stuck
in it's crop, and when you figure there
are 1000 birds to a car you can easily
see what a big proposition this feed

Although the Americas cup has an
intrinsic value of about $3.50, nearly
$2,000O00 has been spent by patriotic
Americans in its defense. Sir Thomas
Lpton's efforts to lift the cup date
back to August, 1898, when he issued
his first challenge through the Royal
Ulster Yacht club to the New York
Yacht club. Since then he has made
three unsuccessful efforts, but the en-
thusiasm of his craftsmanship is such
that in spite of previous refusals on
the part of the New York Yacht club,
new Shamrock will try to take the
challenge cup to England for the
fourth time next year.
The cup, which has been the object
of so much international rivalry and
expense, was first offered as the tro-
ply for a sailing race by the Royal
Yacht Squadron in 1851. An American
entrant was invited to sail, and the
America, schooner, owned by George
L. Schuyler, of New York, won the
race.
Mr.. Schuyler brought the cup to the
United States and offered it as a per
-manent trophy for British-America
sailing races. Since then it has never
recrossed the Atlantic and has come
s to be known as the Americas cup, III

Races For Americas Cup to

NEWS GIVEN OUT IN LONDON
Rules So Long Objected to as to Meas

London, May 21.-The New York

Yacht club, definitely accepting Sir
Thomas Lipton's challenge for the
Americas cup.
The races will take place in Septem-
Der, 1914, under the New York Yacht
clubs present rules as to measure
ment, time allowance and racing rules.
Sir Thomas considers that the con-
ditions of acceptance of his challenge
by the New York Yacht club are
great victory for him. He says they
will enable him to build a good sea
worthy boat.
1t is still a question whether Sir
Thomas will be allowed to tow his
yacht across the Atlantic. 1T doesn't
really matter much" he said, ''wheth-
er 1 am allowed to tow or not. Any
way, | should not want to tow except
in the case of head wind or a dead
calm
Asked whether he thought the de-
tenders would meet him with larger
boat than the challenger, he replied:
"That does not give me the leas
worry. They have always treated me
in the most generous and sportsman
like spirit
Charles E. Nicholson, the yacht de-
signer, of Gosport, Eng, is already
working on the plans of the boat.
The New York Yacht clubs accept
ance of the challenge says:
"The races are to be sailed as sug-
gested in your cable under our present
rules of measurement, time allowance
and racing rules, it being understood
that the rule requiring yacht to rate
at the highest limit of her class IN
certain cases, shall not apply to this
match"

TO s1unx coon ROADS

The following is from the esteemed
Columbus Ledger:
Recent events foreshadow. in tn,
near future the creation Of national
commission of experts to study the
whole subject Of good roads in this
country, and TO recommend the most
effective basis on which the national
government can take part in road
building.
Among the resolutions adopted by
the American road congress at De
troit was one requesting congress To
authorize the president Of the United
States 10 appoint a commission from
civl life. with a sufficient appropria-
ton to make d thorough and exhaus-
tive report on and to recommend a
system Of federal aid"
Highway commissioners, engineers,
legislators, and good roads men gen
orally are becoming convinced that Il
would be unwise for the government
to commit itself to any road build
ing plan on a large scale without first
awaiting itself of the results of care
.ial study by such a commission. Any
plan to be effective must involve a
inrge expenditure of money and many
Of the aspects of the subjects are so
technical that IL cannot properly be
considered at first by congressional
committee. The great national irriga-
ton projects. the Sault Sainte Marie
canal, the vast river and harbor I'M
proyements Of the nation and finally
the Panama canal all called Tor spe-
cial expert commissions How much
greater the need Of the nation is to
build roads, On the wisdom OF its plan
viii depend the usefulness of its
roads.
Advocates Of a national highway
system built and maintained entirely
by the government will regret that
the Detroit resolution LPlited the ac-
tivites Of the proposed commission to
securing federal aid but all will APP
prove Of another resolution that was
adopted at the same time. This stat
cd that the American road congress
fayors the establishment OF a national
road system, and fayors the construc.
tion by the states. counties and towns
OF the lateral and connecting market
highways"
The need of the hour is better road
ways, and it appears that the naming
OF highway commission by the ma
tional government is the proper way
in which the movement should be
started.
