In MEMORIAM.

A noble, good and useful woman has
gone to her reward.
The announcement of the death Of
MRS. SOPHIE BLAND GATHER,
has brought sorrow to many hearts.
She came of long line of dis
tinguished ancestry and was an
honor to it.
In her was happily blended the will
ingness and the ability to do good, and
she did it faithfully. Her life is a
bright example to those whom she has
left to mourn her loss and, happy will
they be if they follow the example.
Her family and friends, the church,
community ct large, are of that number
She died in the communion of the
Church of which. from her early youth
she had been a consistent and W orthy
member.
An old friend lays this simple tri-
butte on her bier.
Blessed are the dead who die in

POLITICIANS GALORE
AT State House Last Night and
Today.

As usual the town is full of poIiti-
clans today. Many of them arrived
last night. The corridors of the State
House were packed with them while
the caucuses were going on. So wss
Csrvel Hall at the dinner hour. How
ever. last night differed from other
caucus nights in that but very few
prominent Baltimore politicians were
on hand.
Neither John j. Mahon nor Frank
Kelly. who for many years have not
missed being here when the Democrats
were caucusing, were anywhere to be
seen. Neither were any of the city
officials present. 1t is supposed that
Mahon and the Baltimore people kept
away because of the determination of
the Lee Preston people not to 60 into
the caucus. Why Kelly kept away is
not known. Max Ways was the only
enc of the city leaders to put in an APP
pearance.
Governor-elect Harrington. Senator
John Walter Smith and four of Mary
lands Congressman. j Charles Linthi-
esn, Charles P. Cosdy and Jesse ID.
Price. Democrats, and Sydney E..
Mudd. Republican, were present.
Senator Lee is supposed to have re-
NAMED away for the same reason that
Mayor Pr sston and the city people
failed to show up.
Lloyd Wilkinson was the only Demo-
cratic member Of the House of Dele
gates from Baltimore city to come
down. He, keeping the agreement
entered into by the city people early
in the day. refused to 60 into the
caucus and spent considerable portion
of his time in the Senate chamber.
DR.. George Wells, the Anne Arun-
del county leader, was seen in the
State House, as were Frank S. ReveIl,
Chairman George w. Padgett of the
Republican City Committee, William

"STIFF FINGERS" INHERITED
Boston Doctor Finds Family Where
Malformatlon Has Run for
Many Years.

Boston.-In the recent proceedings

hospital, Boston. announced to the
academy some results he has found
in studying the heredity of stiff fin
gers a type of malformation of the
hands or feet.
He has studied the history of a
family which migrated from Scotland
to Virginia in 1900. and has found that
stiff fingers" are hereditary with the
regularity which is expected in GER
tain traits.
/ OF the more than three hundred de.
scendants of the Scotch immigrant
about 25 per cent had stiff fingers
In families in which neither parent
was affected the children were not
affected. In families in which one par
ent, either mother or father. was af
fected, about half of the children were
affected with the malformation.

NELSON RELIC LONG IN PAWN
$4,000 Miniature Found on Taxi Driver
Possession a Mystery to
the Police.

London, The London police are
trying to trace the ownership of a
superbly executed miniature of Lord
Nelson, with plaitings of Lady Ham
ilton's hair. valued at more than
Sc, 1000, nd on a taxi chauffeur
charged with being in unlawful pos
session of property supposed to have
been stolen.
The Nelson relic had been in pawn
for So since September, 1912, and the
taxi man went to redeem it. 1t was
then discovered that it was worth a
large sum and that the hair in it
was that of Lady Hamilton. The taxi
man said 1t was given to his wife on
her marriage, but the police were not
satisfied with tho story and arrested
him.
How the miniature came into the
possession of the chauffeur is a mys-
terry. 1t is gold mounted, as is also
the dark green case in which it was
enclosed. The plated hair of Lady
Hamilton is rich brown in color and
surrounds an emblematic anchor in
pearls. set in blue enamel.

How many eggs does the ordinary
hen lay in a year? What is the
highest yield that it is possible to
obtain by choosing only the best
birds and feeding them with the
greatest care?
To these questions no very definite
answer can be given, though much
light has been thrown on the subject
in the past few years. Individual e C
ords have been made under the super
vision of the agricultural colleges and
laying competitions have been insti-
tuted in several of the states, in which
pens Of five or ten birds have been
pitted against one another. From
the results II is possible to draw a
few conclusions.
With poultry, as with other live
stock, the amateur is always asking
which is the best breed. 1t was a
dispute between the admirers of two
breeds that started the first laying
contest in Australia Is years ago. An
Australian poultryman who kept Bun
Orpingtons was positive that his hens
were better egg producers than the
Western liberal. (Lordsburg, N.M.) 1887-1919, 1916-01-28

has a very direct bearing on profits
seeing that winter eggs command the
higher prices. Leghorns and Plymouth
Rocks proved the best workers in De-
cember and January, while O%rpingtons
led in February. Through the sum-
mer there was little advantage, though
it was noticeable that Rhode Island
Reds began to show up in July and Au-
gust.
over the 200 Mark.
In the individual records for Mis-
souri, pens, extending ove four years,
there were 249 hens or 10 per cent Of
the whole number of entries that laid
200 eggs or more in n year. Four
teen per cent of the hens laid less
than 90 eggs in one year. The aver
age of all the hens during the four
years was 1852 eggs each.
Commenting on the profit to be OBJ
tanned from the good layers and the
shirkers, the manager Of the contest
says, that at 20 cents per dozen and
at an estimated cost of 81 to feed each
hen a year, the hen which lays go eggs
in a year, just pays for her feed, and
estimating that it costs one-half as
much for housing and labor, the hen
which lays 80 eggs per year just pays
her keeping. The hen which lays 100
g g in one year makes a profit Of
ten eggs, while the hen which lays
the sum Of 100 eggs in one year
makes a profit of 80 cents, and is
therefore three times as profitable as
the hen which lays 100 eggs. The hens
which lay 200 eggs are 10 eggs profit,
which would be 1873 1-3 profit. Con-
sidering this as interest at per cent on
an investment, the hen would be
worth 1921.
One of the conclusions reached by
Miller Purvis, the noted poultry a
thority, is that the competitions have
brought the egg laying hen into her
proper place beside the fancy bird that
wins in the show. For every dollar
spent for poultry for food, at least 81
are spent for eggs. Hence, the poul
tryman who is looking for breeding
stock will demand to be shown some
thing in the way Of accomplishment in
the flock he is choosing from. Be
fore the time of laying competitions
breeders made claims concerning the
prizes they had won at poultry shows.
now they add to these claims the egl
records of their hens, if they have
{ had the courage to put them to thu
test. The Oregon crossbred hen tina

consecutive years has had more news

wager was made and the first trial of

Since then the contests have widened
out to include all the leading breeds,
yet the question of leadership has
not been solved. The original claim
ants for the honor the Silver Wyan-
dottes and Buff Orpingtons-have,
however, long since been outdistanced,
leaving the Leghorns, the Wyandottes

the lead. The anxiety of the amateur

still unsatisied.
Leghorns and Wyandottes.
Reviewing the results of the past
two years, it is seen that there is
something in the strain; that is a
breeder with a flock of good layers
can raise from them birds that will
distinguish themselves in egg produc-
ton. In the Storr's Connecticut con-
test, which closed a year ago, the first
place was taken by a pen Of White
Leghorns, the property Of F. P. Lin
coin of that state. This year the same

and third prizes with Wyandottes and

Are you giving the layers as much

quantities Of grass and when shut
up they miss this food.
Turnips, beets, mangels, rutabagas,
carrots and the like are relished by
the fowls. Cabbage is too. Sprouted
oats is. perhaps, the best green feed,
as in it the hens get both the green
sprouts and the grain.
Some kind of green ration is neces-
sary. however, if the hens are ex-
pected to lay properly during the
