INTERNATIONAL EGG
 LAYING CONTEST

The three leading pens in the con test at storrs have now laid more than one. hundred dozen eggs each. The thirty hens in these three pens have averaged to lay 122 eggs apiece whereas the three poorest pens in the contest have produced only little over forty dozen eggs per pen or an average individual yield for the thirty hens in these three pens of AS 1-3 eggs each.
 Changes among the ten leading pens continue to occur. The Yer m ont pen of Rhode IsF@nd Reds that has been in second place for the last twenty-two weeks ana the New York pen of LeghornS that has been in fourth place for the last ten. weeks were both passed during the week and strangely enough one breeders birds did the work in both eases. Barron's Wyandottes succeeded in getting by the Reds with a margin of two eggs and his Leghorns beat out the New York pen by three eggs. Thus two pens of English Wyandott are now leading the competition. An other Interesting change concerns the pen of Barred Rocks from Brookfield 1 Centre, Conn, which has been among the ten leading pens from the very first week of the contest. and was in fact in third place from the tenth 1 to the eighteenth week. They have

called 1f'the Athens of Germany This year marks the centenary of the crea.- tion of the grand duchy, Charles Au- gustus having commenced his reign in 1915. The grand ducaI family is descended from John Frederic, the Protestant eIector of Saxony, who was deprived by the emperor in 1548. The ruling houses of Saxe-Coburg- Gotha, Saxe-Altenburg and Sake Meiningen have the same origfn. They are all termed the senior or Ernstine branch of the old family, while the younger branch, the AIber- tine line, is represented by the king of Saxony.
 The grand duke figured in royal romance about two years ago, when he interfered to prevent the marriage of his cousin, Princess Sophia of Saxe- Weimar, to Hans van BIefch- roeder, son of a famous German banker. The princess, who was often called the most beautiful woman in Europe, was so heart-broken by the separation from the man she loved that she committed suicide by shoot ing herself in the foreh cad. The tragedy occurred in a room in the palace at Heidelberg. Although the princesss lover was the eldest son of the senior member of one of the rich-i est and most powerful of German banking houses, Grand Duke William Ernest considered that he was un- worthy of marrying into his family. As Princess Sophia and her parents were dependent upon the grand duke for their income, William Ernests wish was law. The princess,s father, it is said, was inclined to accede to his daughters wishes. but was unable to take an independent stand owing, to his financial relations with the grand duke. The princess met the bankers son while he was a student at FFeidelberg, and fell so wildly in love with him that she was driven to desperation and suicide when Will liam Ernest refused to grant her per mission to wed the man of her choice. A brother of. the princess married a woman beneath him in rank and was deprived of his rank, titles and in come.
