Fall in Birth Rate
 Alarms British Press

London, Sept. 1.-The recent re- turns on the British infant birth and death rate are characterized as dis tinctly alarming by the London Lam cet. ..
 ''The continued fall in the birth rate, which has now reached the low est level heretofore recorded, may have many explamations,' the journal comments edftoria1ly, "but the factor of the deliberate limitation of fa.mil- ies, whether from provident or selfish motives can no longer be ignored.I
 The Lancet says that there has nev- CT been a time in England that eIn- ploynent has been so easy to obtain and so much money distributed aong the poor through good wages and women's separation allowances, yet these very facts may have contribut- ed to the increased infant mortality rate since they have given idle m oth- CTS more money to spend on drink. Epidemic disease is another factor in raising the rate, owing to the death of doctors and nurses now engaged in military hospitals.
 As for the deliberate limitation of births not only the middle and upper classes but the working class in late years are held to blame. Even the reports about the great numbers of war babies seem now to have been largely base1ess.

INTERNATIONAL EGG
 LAYING CONTEST

The big surprise in the rorty-hfth
 week of the laying contest at Storrs was the fact that the hens laid only 16 eggs less than for the preceding week and relatively 643 more than for the corresponding week a year ago. the total recorded for all pens being 3,194 eggs. Tom Barron's pen of English Leghorns were first for the week with 4e eggs. H. P. Deming's Rhode Island Reds from Winsted, and N. w. Hendryx's Reds from New Haven tied for second with 48 eggs | each. P. G. Platt's Leghorns from 1 Wallingford, Pa, were third with a l yield of 46 eggs for the same period. The Storr's Stations sour milk pens
 made an excellent showing for the week. the Barred Rocks laying 50 eggs, the White Leghorns AT, and the White Wyandottes 46.
 As the competition hears it's close the remarkable differences in the pro- l ductiyity of hens are being demon
 stra,ted. The 100 hens in the ten best
 pens have to date averaged a little over 14h dozen eggs each, worth
 about $4.35. The 100 hens in the ten
 pooreet pens have laid to date only
 eight dozen eggs each, worth about $2.40.
 In selecting bullets for this winters
 layers it has been previously pointed l out that consideration should be given to those birds that have grown rap | 1Oly ana well ana to those that snow quality as indicated by a soft p1iable
 skin over the breast bone and ab- l somina1 cavity. In addition to theA i two considerations quality is, further l indicated by the texture of the head parts. The comb and wattles should
 not only be we'll developed but should ] have a nice smooth velvety texture. 1 A fourth consideration in selecting the prospective layer is that of ca pacity. A hen in action needs lots of
 room, that is to say, room for tn di-
 gestive and reproductive organs. Such
 capacity is indicated by good width 1 between ; the pelvic bones and also l good width between these and the rear end of the keel.
