CENTENARIANs.


 The first centenarian of modern times whose claims to having lived over hundred years is absolutely authenticated was Miss Elizabeth Gray, who died in Edinburgh fifty nine years ago today, April 2, 1856, in her 108th year. Miss Gray belonged to the upper circle of Scottish society and many investigators declared there was no room for doubt as to her great age, and that her remarkable longevity was beyond dispute. Many present-day physicians and scientists assert that all, or nearly all, centen- arians are guilty of deception or are self-deceived. and some deny that any human being has ever lived to pass the century mark. Practically all of the remarkable cases of longevity, in which our ancestors firmly believed. are now discredited. Thomas Parr. who died in London in 1885, was said to have been in his 15Srd year. Jo- names de Tenporibus, a German who died in 1o14, was alleged to have lived 361 years. Henry Jenkins, of Yorkshire, claimed to be 169 years old at his death in 1870. Such claims are now generally dismissed as un- worthy of credence.

Constantine L, king of the HelIenes, who has had a. most difficult job in steering the Greek ship of state.f is forty-s years old, and has sat on the Athen1an throne for a little more than two years. The Greek cabinet headed by M. Venizelos, which resign ed last month, stood for Hellenic par ticipation in the war, on the side of the Allies. and in this stand probably reflected the sentiments and sympa- thies of a majority of the people. From the first. however, King Con- stantine has been determined to cling. to the policy of neutrality. Persona1-l ly, the Greek monarch is allied by ties of blood and marriage to the rll- ing houses Of both sides in the great controversy now raging His father, George T., was g son of Christian TX. of Denmark. and succeeded Otto T., 9 Bavarian prince. who was deposeds The kingss mother was Grand Duchess Olga of Russia, and the DoWager Empress of Russia. is his aunt, as is Dowager Queen Alexandra of Great Britain. The ties of blood thus unite King Constantine to the allied nations. but he married Prin- cess Sophie of Prussia, sister of the present emperor of Germany, who is the mother of his six children, three sons and three daughters. King Con- stantine is an ambitious monarch, and has entertained high hopes of extend ing his kingdom to include all of Turkey in Europe. and to set up his capital Ain ConBtantnopIe. He took an active part in the two Balkan wars and his exploits as a soldier made him very popular with the people. King Constantine acceded to the throne in March of 1918, following the assas- sination of his father by a fanatic at Ea1onica- The Creek king received his military education in Germany Tz he 7sf f7e5 heG had quarrels with the Kaiser, itAis under stood that their relations were on a friendly footing at the outbreak of the war.

PRESIDENT LUTHER,

 AGAINST MIIITARISM

ssIf we are to maintain our moral. force. we must refrain from shaking our national fist or even from cIinch- ing it.
 can people of President Nicholas Murray Butler, of Columbus Unfver- sitys who sees in the movement for increased military and naval expendi- lures a step toward ''the disastrous and forlorn policies which are today publicly declared his conviction that ''despite the appearance of spon- taneity, the various outcroppings of the present agitatio on for a large mill litary establishment and for increased military expenditures might be traced to a single inspiring source and that the movement is inspired by those who have "a business interest in it's success

J.,3 and af-, ter graduating from Columbia studied in Berlin and Paris He has received honorary degrees from many of the leading American universities, and from Oxford, Cambridge, St. An
 drew's and Manchester, and is an Od1cier de Legion d'Honneur of France!
 pr. Butler was in Europe at the | way of Switzerland and Italy. Upon
 his return to New York he declared that the most significant statement
 he heard in Europe was that of an aged German railway man. whom he l quoted as saying. .'Sir, this is not a peoples war; it is a kings war, and when it is over there may not be so | many kings.'' As a result of this war;

 the latter was assassinated After l discussing the possibilities of a lasting | peace, M. Jaures said, as his final words to the American educator, 'tDo

TERNAT4ONAL EGG
 LAYING CONTEST.

In the twenty-first week ofsthe lay ing contest at Seorrs the hens laid 51 eggs more than in the preceding week or total production of 4.026 eggs This is an average yield of 57 1-2 per. cent for all pens as compared with a yield of 55 1-2 per cent for the pre- ce6ing week and 6z per cent for the snineteenthl week.
 Barron's pen of English Wyan- dottes and Warner,s pen of Reds with 54 eggs each. The Rhode Isl- and Reds of Chas o. Poihemus, Newburgh, N. Y. and Branford Farms White Leshorns from Gro-s ton, Conn. tied for second place with 5S egEs each Branford Farms for the week. Four pens laid 51 eggs each during this period. namely: the Storrs Stations sour milk pen of Barred Rocks, Branford Farms pen of White Rocks, q Vermont pen of Rhode Island Reds owned by John Backus of North Bennington. and B. F. Nase,s White Orpingtons from Thomaston.
 While some chicks have of course been matched the number is no doubt relatively small that is to say many breeders are just putting their eggs ment Station has5Just issued a bulle- tin suggesting that pou1try1nen select for breeders the hens that lay large eggs. If the case he stated the reverse way this means that the large eggs be selected for hatchiux There was at once time 3. moro or less prevalent idea that if one incubated only small round eggs they were likely to hatch a larger percentage of bullets and, on the contrary a predoninancs of cockerels was expected if one incu- bated all large eggs As a matter of
  tai evidsnce to support such g, con- tention- The fact is that investiga- tors now believe that the size of the egg is an inherited character so that if one incubates only small round eggs they will probably ultimately breed a race of hens that will lay only small round eggs and in the end have just as many cockere els Tn oth- CT words the size and shape of the egg apparently has nothing whatever to do with the determination of sex; so why not incubate big eggs to pro- duce outlets that will lay big eggs. Large eggs are not only more desir- able for market purposes but they also count more in the laying contest 1 where all the eggs from each pen are weighed each day.
