merry Eugenics.

Storris, Conn.-The productive and
wealth-producing hen is having her
blood tested ut the experiment station
of the state agricultural college here.
This, with the idea of improving the
breed of hens with the hopes that
their progeny which escapes poaching,
scrambling and so on will be even
more healthy and egg-fruitful. In
word, the experiments going on at the
agricultural college will form the basis
of hennery eugenics.
Hen scientists know that many
chicks inherit an intestinal disease.
TO determine the proportion of hens
from which this disease descends. the
scientists of the agricultural college
offered to test, free of charge, the
blood of all the hens entered In the
fourth international egg-laying con-
test now going on at the college, n
contest which is nearing its course of
a year.
What Tests Prove.
The test has proved, so far, that 30
out of 100 of the birds in the contest
are affected with the disease. The
test known as the "agglutination meth
od' involves drawing from a hens
wing vein few drops of blood. After
that chemicals and the microscope
come into play.

Soldiers Like the
Modish Dress Styles

Correspondence OF Tho Associated Press.)
Berlin, June 15.-The campaign Of
the Munich police president, OF vari-
Gus generals commanding home de-
partments, and Of the thirty-five
woman's clubs against women who
dress too modishly and conspicuously
does not meet undivided approval.
Many newspapers have been printing
editorials and letters from their read
'ers, protesting against the effort to
modify feminine dress. One of these
protestants is an officer of a battery
of artillery in France, who writes.
HE who has experienced for him
self at the front something of the
much discussed gravity of the times
does not wish at any price to see all
the beauty and joy of life destroyed
by an ashengray Puritanic mood. We
think with gratitude of the women
whose beauty our soul delighted in
during the short rest at home from
the burdens of the war, and we for
bid, with all the straightforwardness
of the soldier at the front, that any
one, even in his thoughts, accuse these
women of lacking a proper apprecia-
ton of the earnestness of the war.
You should ask the furloughed men,
from general down to private, whether
they would like to see Germany pop
ulated merely with ~spectacles from
those thirty-five women's clubs"

France Gives Fruit
Industry a Boost

Correspondence Of The Associated Press.)
Paris, June 15.-The minister Of ag-
riculture has just organized the
French fruit industry, both the in.
crease in production and processes Of
preserving, so as to compete with
other fruit-producing countries.
The recent prohibition Of the i'm
portation of fruit into France called
attention to the fact that, while no
country is better adapted to the pro-
duction Of fruits, France consumed
annually about $4,000 tons more than
she produced.
M. Meline, minister of agriculture,
attributes the heavy importations OF
fruits into France to the fact that,
aside from grapes, apples and pears,
the French fruit growers generally
have not developed as they might
have done, their method of canning
and preserving, and distribution Of
preserved fruits. The commission
just appointed will be expected to re-
port upon the favorable localities in
France for the building of canning
establishments, and other ways OF
furnishing a quick market to fruit
growers in the regions adapted to fruit
culture.

sions were mere talk, and when the
economic relations of the allies be-
tween themselves and with neutrals
and the central empires are taken up
all, the uneasiness caused by the
propositions Of the previous confer
ence, will be dissipated.
I'm the talk of boycotting the CEN
trail empires, well-intentioned people
have been carried too far by their
own zeal. France needs German coal;
it needs the German market which, in
spite of the treaty of Frankfort, took
enough French goods to more, than
balance the coal bought by France up
to 1900 France will not easily get
seriously and officially, some, II not
coal on as good terms elsewhere and,
whatNis more important, it will hardly
be able to trade its own goods for it.
THE proposal to engage in a war
of tariffs has already produced one
result: 1t has furnished Germany with
an additional argument to overcome
the hesitancy of Austria to enter the
central European union"

Dutch in Danger
OF Being Evicted
Correspondence of The Associated Press.)

Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
Amsterdam, Netherlands, June 1s.-
A part OF the population of Odessa, on
the Black Sea, who are of Dutch de-
scent, are said to be in great danger
of eviction by the Russian govern
ment unless they can prove their nom
German origin. A population Of 3d.
900 is involved, and they have just ap-
piled for help to Dutch authorities
in confirming the facts of the case.
Their history is romantic one, dat
ing back two centuries.
A considerable number of members
Of the Anabaptist or Mennonite sect
left their homes in the northern Dutch
province of Friesland in the seven
tenth century for Germany in order
to escape the persecution to which
they were subjected. Establishing
themselves in west Prussia, they
gradually spread along the entire
lower Vistula river, even into Poland,
being apparntly everywhere welcomed
for the ability in draining work which
they had acquired in their own water
ridden country.

LANDLORDS MUST
HELP THE TENANT
Italy Adopts Measures by
Which It Is Hoped to In.
crease Agriculture.

Correspondence of The Associated Prsss)
Rome, Italy, June 2l.-In order to
solve the problems of farm labor and
farm production, Italy has introduced
set of communistic measures that
are stated to be more comprehensive
than any of those yet devised by the
various countries of Europe now at
war.
By decree of the minister OF agri-
culture the entire farming system of
the country has been reorganized on a
mutual basis by which land owners
are forced to aid their tenants, by
which projects of departments are re-
quired to oversee the relations of both
owner and tenant, by which the gov
eminent itself is compelled to buy
and loan machinery, and, finally, by
which tenants must help each other
and loan both machinery and labor.
The decree provides for the exemp-
ton from military service of the
farmer if he be the only male left to
till the soil. 1t also encourages the
employment of women labor on the
farm, giving them proper pay and per-
hitting them to make contracts of the
character customarily made in peace
times with men laborers.
Cheap Rates.
Laborers are granted Is per cent
reduction in railway fares, just as if
on military service, so that they may
be shifted cheaply from one district
to another according to labor demands
and the rotation of crops. Special
courts to settle disputes between labor
ers or farmers have been provided for
each farming district
When tenant is forced to employ
extra help the land owner is required
to pay one-half OF the wages of such
help. Special commissions are also
being established in each department
to regulate the distribution OF labor, of
and OF horses, mules and
oxen, no matter who the owner, so
that the most pressing crops and har-
vests may be attended to in time.
These commissions are also empow-
cred to transfer such labor, machinery
and animals from one province to an
other.
Use Brown Bread.
1t is hoped these measures will keep
up the normal production of the land
which has recently suffered severely
by the calling of farmers under arms.
This present year the wheat crop OF
Italy is but 94.l per cent OF last year,

FLoATED DER CITY OF MEXICO
General scott's Famous Flag Disc
covered in a Warrington
Home.

1t was while looking over an un.
used portion of the residence of the
commandant at the marine barracks
at Washington that Mrs. Barnett,
wife Major General George Barnett,
discovered in a box in an unused
store room an old framed flag whose
yellow silken folds crumbled to the
touch.
Believing it to be valuable relic,
she sent for an expert, who proved
it to be none other than the flag car
ried by the marine corps battalion
attached to the army of occupation
under the command OF Major General
Winfield Scott in its march from Vera
Cruz to the City of Mexico in 1s47.
The highly elaborate decoration
upon the old banner is painted in oil.
The painter Of this device was Joseph
Bush, an artist who lived in Boston
in the early '40s, giving the date of
the flag to be l843.
1t bears the legitimate insignia of
the marines, by Land, by Sea-" but
the motto, From Tripoli to the halls
of Montezuma," was painted upon
the flag at a later date. Both of
these legends are employed in the
stirring present-day Marines hymn"
the first verse of which is as follows:
From the halls Of Montezuma
To the shores OF Tripoli, 10.
We fight our country's battles
On the land and on the sea;
Admiration OF the nation,
We're the finest ever seen,
And we glory In the title Of
United States marine.
That this was too valuable a me-
mento to be kept in privacy was the
decree OF Commandant Barnett of the
marine corps, and he has had it
placed in the band room of the ma
rine barracks.-Philadelphia Ledger.
