ENFORCED iDLENEss OF HEN

Nearly six million dozen eggs were

and frozen eggs there we're I'M
ported in 1913 only 22s,ooO pounds,
but in 1914 the importations grew to
s 100000 an increase OF 1900 per
cent. Why this increase? In 1913
eggs paid an import duty OF five cents
dozen but in 1914 were free. Yolks
and frozen eggs were kept ont by a
rs per cent ad yalorem duty in 1918
nut this was reduced to ten per cent
IN 1914
Some were laid In Germany.
And some in far Japan
And some we're laid in China

But whence they came or where they
went.
This thought gives small enjoy

The hens and ROSTERS in this land
We're robbed OF their employment.
Allowing an average per hen OF

to comment on this for fear the re-

states have two cent passenger rate
and whatever loss is incurred is recov-
cred through freight revenue. The JUS
tice of such procedure was recently
passed upon by the Supreme Court
OF West Virginia and the decision Is
so far-reaching that we have asked
l.. q. Johnson, president of the Nor.
folk and Western Railway whose road
contested the case to briefly review
the suit. Mr.. Johnson said in part:
Some ten years ago, passenger
fares were fixed by the legislatures
Of large number OF states at two
cents mile. AS basis for such
economic legislation, no examination
was made Of the cost of doing the
business SO regulated, nor was any
attention given to the fact whether
such a rate would yield to the rail
way companies an adequate or any
net return upon the capital Invested
In conducting this class OF business.
"Srch law was passed in West
Virginia in 1907 The Norfolk and
Western Railway Company put the
rate into effect and maintainedit II for
two years Its accounting during |
these two years showed that two

election as Fellow OF the Royal
Society. this high scientific honor fall
ling to him in 1901 for his researches
in electrical physics.
Admiral jackson was one OF the
earliest experimenters in wireless
telegraphy and was associated for
many years with Mr.. Marconi. He is
/ a specialist also in naval torpedoes.
He has only once in his career com
manded a group of ships al sea.
Just pas sixty years of age. the new
Sea Lord is younger by fourteen years
than his predecessor He entered the
navy in 1868 and at first specialized In
navigation. But the possibilities OF the
torpedo, which mad only been invented
in a very crude form in 1866, exercised
Ia fascination over him, and he soon
transferred to that branch of the
service.
The only vessel on which he ever
served as navigating officer was an old
battleship, 70 which was appointed on
the same day young lieutenant, John
Jellicoe, now ommander-in-chief OF the

Specializing in torpedoes, Admiral
jackson attained 4 wide knowledge,
both practical and theoretical. OF elec-
tricity, for the torpedo officer OF a
modern ship is responsible for the eff
ficiency OF the whole OF the electrical
equipment of the vessel. II was in
1891 that the idea OF employing Hert-
zian waves as means of communi-
cation first suggested itself to him. AT
that time the navy was seeking for
some method by which torpedo boat
could announce its approach to
friendly ship. For four years he con
tinued his experiments in wireless
communication. Though the necessi-
ties of the service have prevented the
luli story Of his works being given to
he world, it is known that at the end |
1f that time he had succeeded in send |
ng messages from one end Of his ship
o the other without wires. About this
ime he met Marconi. and the two be- (
:ame close frieuds, mutually assisting
Zach other In developing their ideas

Sir Henry remained responsible for
