COURSE FREE
TO c. NJ. G. OFFICERS.
State Militia Receives Offer from the
Wright School of Flying.

Officers Of the state militia who
aspire to be aviators are now in a
position TO study the art at reduced
cost. The local coast artillery officers
have received letters from the adjutant
generals office offering a course free
in the Wright school of flying. The
Aero club offers to pay part OF the eX-
pense that may be incurred in taking
such a course.
copy of the letter has been sent to
every officer of the Connecticut Ma
tional guard. It is part of a plan for
equipping the United States army and
the national guard with an adequate
aviation corps. The aviation corps of
the regular army is so limited as to
be of little real value and there is an
energetic movement under way to aug
ment it. There is also a general effort
to provide the national guard of the
several states with aviation corps.

HENS STILL BEATING
LAST YEARS RECORD.
Developing an Occasional Case of
:. ProIapsed OViduct.

,- Along with increased egg produc-
ton the hens in the laying contest are
developing an occasional case of evert-
ed or proIapsed oviduct. The dag
~nosis of this condition is very simple
o in that it consists merely of observ-
ing a mass of red or bloody tissue
. projecting from the vent. The chief
%eaUses of the trouble are continued
efforts to eXpeu a very large egg,
straining to lay while the bird is egg
bound, and sometimes simple consti-
q patton. Not infrequently the other
hens turn cannibals when one of their
number develops prolapsus of the owl
duct and usually soon succeed in des-
troying the affected bird. If however,
the condition is discovered early
= enough and the case not too severe,
cures can occasionally be accomplish
= ed. The prOtruding mass should be
washed with some weak, warm disin-
fectant, such as one percent creolin,
then grease the affected parts with
eyaseline and push them gently back
d into place. Lastly, put a lump of ice
Inside the vent to bring about a
healthy contraction otherwise the owl
duct may be aYerted again and again.
Q In general the best procedure perhaps
is to Immediately kill and dress the
hen for table purposes.
In the nineteenth week of the con-
test the hens laid total of 3707 eggs
(which is % dozen more than for last
week and dozen more than for the
corresponding week a year ago. Obed

The Reason He Does So From, the
Physical Point of View.
Laughter is an involuntary response
Of certain muscles to communication
from nerves controlling their action
We. laugh because we receive an i'm.
preston through our sensory nerves
, that causes demonstration from the
muscles which express Inirth. The
vigor or bcartiness of laughter depends
upon the susceptibility Of the brain to
what Is received through the sensory
nerves
They get the impression in three
ways-from something we see. feel or
henl-and send it along to the nerve
center. From there it Is sent along
other nerves connected with certain
muscles or glands and excites them to
activity.
The nerves are like so many electric
wires. and the sensory nerves act as
n battery, by means Of which the cleo
trio currents of life are transmitted
The muscles have the power to ex-
press the state of glldness. indicated
by laughter, according to the positive
ness of the impressions passed along
the nerves which operate them You
laugh less heartily the second time
you hear funny story because the
impression Is less positive. Rocky

3 pounds e solidiy-packed a-pint
cupfuls) of the mashed potato, add
the yeast. which has been rubbed
smooth in a cup with three table.
spoons CT luke warm water. To get
all the yeast, rinse the cup with
the cup with the remaining table
spoonful of water and add this also
to the potato. Next add the salt,
the sugar and about ounces of

hand, but do not add any more
water at this stage.
Cover mixing bowl to avoid the
formation of crust on top and

much higher than SO degrees, F.
Where the housewife has no ther-
mometer, she should see the dough
in all the risings is kept moderate

sponge. if kept at the proper tenn
should, after two hours
become quite light.
To this well-risen sponge, which
will now be found to be quite soft,
add the remainder of the flour,
kneading thoroughly until a
smooth and elastic dough has been
formed. The dough must be very
stiff, since the boiled potato con-
tains large amount of water,
which causes the dough to soften
as it rises. Do not add water to
the dough unless it is absolutely
necessary to work in the flour.
Set the dough back to rise again,
Temperature at about sc degrees

The sample into a ball and press it
into the bottom of a small tumbler
with straight sides. The glass
should be slightly warmed. Note
