Hart ford, vice president; Dr. w P. Mac of the secretary showed the member ship to be nearly 800. The next place of meeting will be Boston or Hartford and be determined by a special com mittee.
 The oldest member present, Dr. Will lard Greene, U. S. A., class of 1864, in an interesting address compared his work in the Civil war with that done at the present time i'm the great con- 1ict abroad. His graphic description ical students in his time showed its incompetence for present emergencies. Pleasing talks were also given by Drs. Hartman. Riley, MacCullum, Farrell, Mansfield and Storrs, Among those present were Drs. James L. Harrington of Hope Valley and w. H. Jurson of DanielSon.
 Samuel G. CottrelI of the Westerly fire district asked the town council at it's last meeting to provide an ordinance that would give fire apparatus the un- disputed right of way, when responding to fire alarms, stating that he believed a specific ordinance would be effective. The matter was referred to Harry B. Agard, town solicitor, and he has sent to the fire chief Q communication of which the following is a copy: Samuel c. Cottrell, Esq, Fire Chief, Westerly, R. l.:
 My Dear Sir: think that the pro- visions of section 57 of chapter 345 of the general laws, as amended by chap ter 5S9 of the public acts passed Jan | uary. 1910. cover the case of the ob- struction. of fire apparatus. Where a
 matter Is covered by public statute, | the town cannot enact an ordinance to | cover the same matter. This statute | provides that whoever w1lfully or ma | liciously obstructs any fire engine, cart or other vehicle or apparatus shall be | fined $20. It seems to cover your point
 completely. Kindly advise me, if you
 desire any further action in this mat ter.

Georgia County Bars Blacks

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 2S.-As the
result of trouble in Forsythe
County and in the neighborine
territory between whites and
blacks, the negroes have been
barred from entering the county.
This was brought out Clearly yes
terday by the experience of Hud-
son Moore, prominent White
man, who went to Cummings,
Forsythe county, on legal bust
ness and took along with him a
negro nurse and negro chauf-
feur. He heard a commotion
outside the courtroom and, rush
ing out, he found crowd of sew
eral hundred persons gathered
around the two negroes, threat
ening violence if they did not
leave the county at once.
Mr.. Moore at once interviewed
and while talking to the crowd,
pushed the two negroes into his
motor car and rushed them out
of the county.

and mounting, though not as
large as in states with larger ap-
preparations.
In horticulture, Missouri as
tonished ''the natives. The
medals won, but not yet official

great fruit state, leader in the
production of apples, as to quail

to determine if there was any in
dication that the explosions were
caused by outside agencies.
1t was reported that several
suspicious strangers have been
observed in the neighborhood for
several weeks.
This report led to an investiga-

ranged to reduce the supply Of
black powder manufactured here
and shipped abroad for the use
of the allied armies.

Missouri Commission Will Pay
Transportation Charges on
Poultry for Show.

Missouri leads all other state,

November will be an excellent
opportunity to prove our SUI
premacy.
The Missouri Commission, Of
which w. A. Dallmeyer, Jeffer.
son City, is Commissioner in
charge of live stock and poultry
and f. c. McCarroll, Vandalia
is superintendent of poultry
have made arrangements to pay
all transportation charges on one
car Of poultry from Kansas City
to San Francisco and return to
Kansas City.
The owners will have to pay
their entry fee of $3.50 per single
bird and express from their yard
to Kansas City and return from
there.
Several owners have expressed
a desire to have their birds sold
at San Francisco in case they do
not win any prizes and Mr.. Nc
Carroll viii attend to selling the
birds if reserve price is placed
on same.
In order to get definite idea
in advance as to number of poul-
try entries from Missouri, each
breeder is urged to send at once
to Mr.. McCarroll at Vandalia, a
preliminary list of probable en-
tries and if the entries are num-
erous enough, it is quite probable
that arrangements can be made
for two cars.
A letter from Mr.. Quisenberry
under date of August 18th says

Cost Of Flying AeropIanes.

It is estimated that the fuel and
oil costs Of an aeroplane of high pow.
or run into about five dollars per hour
Of fight. In England there are from
one hundred and twenty to one hun.
dred and fifty aeroplanes, and as each
machine Is expected to do about two
hundred and fifty hours flying annual
ly, the significance of high fuel costs
will begin to be appreciated. It will
be measured by . fuel and oil bin OF
about one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars year at retail prices. Those
who read the signs expect the rate OF
increase Of aircraft to continue to
ono thousand aeroplanes. and many
dozens of airships within the next two
years mean probably fuel and oil
bill Of 31,250.000. 1t has been furthe,
estimated that on the above supposi
ton Of development aeronautics may
be expected within two years to take
one-sixth part Of the fuel consumption
of all the motor-vehicles in Britain
OF the total consumption. estimated
by Mr.. Critchley at about one hundred
million gallons q year, It seems that
twenty million gallons are used by the
omnibuses and taxicabs Of London
while motor boats, motor cycles and
sundry users take 10000, 900, 30 that
on this basis the 100000 vehicles In
England take 100000 gallons.

Ne,s Athletic Theory.

Tho question of short versus long
periods OF practice In training the
human muscles for any particular kind
of work Is obviously one having far
reaching application. Some tnterestinS
experiments on this subject have been
carried out by DIR. X. 8. Lashley. Of
Johns Hopkins University. Acquisition
Of skill In archery was selected a. the
subject Of observation. Twenty un.
trained persons were divided into three
groups. One group shot Ave arrow1
with the English longbow day: ans
other. twenty shots day. and third
forty shots. Tho results showed con-
cluslvely that the group shooting only
Ave times a day improved in accuracy
with less expenditure OF time In prac-
tice than was required by either OF tho
other groups for the same amount Of
improvement. A report on the expert
ment says: 1.-THE relatively greater ef-
ficiency of short periods OF practice
continuing for many days Is in accord
ance with the results OF the study OF
animals and OF speech habits In NON.
and indicates that In training to muscu-
lar feats. In both animals and men, the
length of practice periods required Is
usually too great for maximum effici-
ency'
