Automobile News

There is a new star the H0Twin Six It's a Bcintillating star, the Packard Twin Six. The newest motor car de- sign in the world made it's metropoi- tan appearance at the Packard store in New York onsJune 2. At six in the evening 4939 persons had called to make inspection and this number during the hours previous to the op- ening of the theatres.
 The day following the 5000 mark was again passed, establishing what is probably a record for Broadway n1tor row. Testifying to the fact that this enormous number of callers was not made up of the idly curious is wire sent to the factory by M. J. Bud long, president of the company's ] branches, declaring that an error had been made in pricing the cars. Bud- long is positive that every car allot- ted to New York City could be sold for $500 more than the list price. The Twin Six shown in New York is theone displayed at Indianapolis
 during the 500 mile race. The sensa- ton the car caused in the Hoosier metropolis is best shown by wire ] sent to Detroit by Carl G. Fisher, president of the Indianapolis Speed
 way, who is also the Packard dealer | in Indianapolis. It reads:
 Have just finished largest weeks
 business in history of company Show | rooms were crowded from morning
 until night. Public comments from
 foremost engineers in atendance@ at
 races have aided us wonderfully in taking orders from conservative mo torists who otherwise might have been 1 skeptical over such pronounced de-
 parture from conventional construc-
 ton. Believe entire allotment of 1 Twin Sizes for this district will be
 sold within 30 days. We are willing
 to double original order if the fac i tory can supply us.''

 distribution, Packard dealers are maIS- l ing insistent demands for increased

INTERNATIONAL EGG
 LAYING CONTEST

z The total egg yield in the thirty second week of the laying contest at Storrs amounted to 4,163 eggs, only one egg less than the production for the previous week and relatively 151 eggs more than for the corresponding week last year. The lighter breeds including the Leghorns, Campines, and Buttercupst are now doing more than their share. While they con stitute only AT per cent. of the birds entered in the competition they laid 52 per cent of the eggs. last week.
 Dictograph Poultry Farms White Leghorns from West Nyack, N. Y, not only won first place for the week but also raised the weekly record from 5s to 61 eggs. Windsweep Farms I.eghorns from Bedding Ridge, Conn.,, came second with a yield of 57 and four pens, namely: Rhode Island Reds owned by Charles o. Polhemus, Newburgh, N. Y., N, w. Hendryxs' Leghorns from New Haven, James 1T. Lords Leghorns from Methuen, Mass, and Barron's Legh orns from Catforth, England, all tied for third place with 56 eggs each.
 Perhaps the most unusual incident of the year was the post mortem ex- animation of White Wyandotte hen No. 194 in one of the Storrs Stations Exp perimentaI Pens. There is nothing at all unusual about this hens egg record. She laid 23 eggs in January, r. in February, 16 in March, IA in April, 23 in May, but has never been credited with two eggs in any one day. In general it is not of course expected that hens will lay two eggs a day but the examination of this bird revealed a mechanism that l would seem to make possible the regular production of two eggs a day. Instead. of the customary single i set of reproductive organs this hen | had two ovaries, and two complete l oviducts and not only this but both were functioning A fully formed egg with the shell on was found in the lower part of the left oviduct and a yoIk was found in the upper part of the right oviduct. Thus this 1 hen apparently used one set of or gans one day and the other the next. Her death was due to a much en- 1 Iarged liver perhaps that the indi- vidual did not have enough consti | tuhona1 vigor to make the maximum
 use of her unusual equipment.

We must insist on a discovery of the facts and causes of the decline in the British birthrate, and on a full dis cussion of the possibilities of checking the decline differentiaIly. There is need of more plasticity in the ideal of
 tgetting on," but it can hardly be re- garded as bad sign that there ap- pears to be continual increase in the number of parents of good type who keep their families small because they do not wish their children-espe ly the girls-to run the risk of thwarted and unhappy lives. These risks have to be 1essened, and that without making slackness feasible. In another connection we are all agreed that the lowering of the still far too high death4rate among healthy in fants must continue.-Professor J. Arthur Thomson in the Popular Sci ence Monthly.

 Regulates Speed of Car.
 This unique instrument which has just been brought out, consists of a regular speedometer combined with a speed lock or control for automobi It automatically controls the speed, or car can be locked at a standing posi- ton according to the wishes of the owner, by adjusting the disk of a common lock having figures core spending to the speed figures of the speedometer dial. The owner or driver of a car can unlock this disk by use of a key, set the disk at a given figure say twenty miles per hour, and the removal of the key makes it impossible to change the position of this disk without the same key. This part of the device is con- nected by ar armored wire running to the magnetic release on the ac- ce1erator rod. When the speed indi- cator of the speedometer reaches the figure corresponding with the figures shown in the zspeedIock, a contact is formed which operates this release on the acce1erator or carburetor rod, al

This condition. he said. has existed all along the ad- yancing frontier until the element mentioned is making it's last fight in Alaska because there is no other real frontier left in this country. The speaker expressed the hope that the time was not far distant when the term Hes an Alaskan" would be one of honor rather than of reproach.
 Three classes of men have come 10 Alaska and all are in some measure responsible for the duled moral con sciousness so apparent in this and other communities of the territory. he said. These are: First, those full of fire and steel and energy who came to better the conditions of themselves and the dear ones left behind; those who may be termed manly men, yet who at times let the animal spirit get the best of them. Second. those hay. ing the wanderlust-mere adventur [ CTS, following the call of the wild.

WAS VERYF|TT|NGLY
 CELEBRATED

Cordova Aerie, No 1926, Fraternal Order of Eagles, commemorated the seventeenth anniversary of that order Saturday in a nose fitting manner. The local birds" have a reputation of be- ing royal entertainers and in this in stance they fairly outdid themselves. The program offered was a double header, consisting of a theatre party and a dance, both affairs being high ly successful and thoroughly enjoyed by a large crowd that attended these social functions.
 Shortly after 8 o'clock the curtain was rung up at the Empress theatre and a rather unique performance given. It consisted of a contralto solo by Mrs. J. F. R. Appleby, who was in excellent voice and rendered in most pleasing manner a love song, and was compelled to respond to an encore. Thos. Von Spronsen, who is always a favorite with local audiences. scored his usual hit with a tenor solo and for an encore sang another verse of the first selection. There was a general "sneeze" when II. w. Kirby stepped before the footlights, but he soon captivated his auditors by the excellent reditlon of a baritone solo, and proved himself a master of this brass instrument. When Kenneth Holden blew in" the colored folks had to sit up and take notice of the new asqulstion to their race. His plantation buck and wing dancing was very clever and he was called back time and again His last turn was solo on the mouth-organ, which was executed in good style. There were also three good moving pictures.
 Immediately after the entertainment all proceeded to Eagle hall to dance. The large lodge room had been artis- tically decorated and called forth many expressions of praise for the committee in charge of the affair. who certainly left nothing undone that would add to the beauty of the scene In fact the decorations and electrical effects were the most elaborate ever attempted in Cordova. An innovation was an Eagles nest mounted in one corner of the room and which was feature in itself. Then, again the music was good, the floor in fine con dition and all who attended the dance enjoyed themselves immensely and have the satisfaction of knowing that they also contributed their mite to the new home that Cordova Aerie shortly expects to build.
 A large number of tickets were sold and the Aerie netted a nice lit tie sum to be added to the building fund.

speaker. "All the evils which accom- pany the frontier are here, and stew bums,' numerous because driven out of former frontiers, weild great in nueuce in moulding public opinion. Present condition of public opinion in Cordoya is because some of us are as we are"
 Referring to his own experiences, the speaker said that anyone who takes part in the war for a better and more permanent town must in a sense make a martyr of himself. because the missionaries have failed in their duties" One of the reasons why churches are not popular on the iron tier, he said, is because the mission aries and ministers have been afraid of offending by telling the truth: yet the fault is not so much with the missionaries and preachers as with the congregations and members of the communities, because the good element don't get out and take more active part in political and public af- fairs"
 Next Sunday Rev. Mcbride will speak on the subject of "The Reme- dy," the third of the series.

The activity Of the outlaws In Sc

to be the final evidence Of their in

the settlers and the members of the

means of getting at the Indians.
And, on the other hand, the red
men are known to have ample provis

RURAL CREDITS
RIDER CHANGED
HOUSE FRAMES SUBSTITUTE
FOR FARM LOAN PLAN AC-
CEPTED BY SENATE.
Would Provide System of Farm Loan
Associations to Make Loans on
Farm Mortgages at 6 Per
Cent Interest.

westinghouse farm loan plan was
the house Monday night after long
and vigorous fight The rural credits
amendment reported by the agricultur-
al committee and generally accepted
as having the sanction of the admin
istration was revised by series of
amendments which revolutionized the
proposal.
AS framed in the house, the plan
would provide for a system of farm
loan associations formed in individual
communities to make loans on farm
mortgage notes at not more than 7
per cent interest. These associations
would form federal land banks in dis
tricts corresponding to the present
federal reserve districts for the pur-
pose of dealing in the mortgages held
by the association and loaning to the
association upon these mortgages. In
these banks the government would
have supervising and under certain
circumstances a stockholding interest.
They would be authorized to issue
bonds based on their farm mortgage
securities.
The crux of the fight in the house
came on an amendment to authorize
the secretary of the treasury to issue
Panama canal or other government
bonds to the amount of $50 100000 a
year to take over the bonds of these
| land banks. The amendment was
adopted in committee of the whole by
vote of 157 to A.
The administration proposal was a
| substitute for the McCumber direct
loan credits plan incorporated in the
bill in the senate. 1t proposed Sc
ries of farm loan associations with a
system of land banks under private
ownership and control to handle the
loans through the sale of bonds to the
public.
BY a vote of 237 to SO the house
! rejected the McCumber proposition
and then the perfected Bulkley-Hollis
amendment was agreed to without a
