MORSE BUYS BIC
 !. PLANT TO BUILD MERCHANT SHIPS

New York, June 2-Charles w. Morse and associates have bought the plant of the Robert Palmer & Son Shipbuilding Company at Noank, Conn. It>is one of the largest plants of it's kind in the world.
 MT. Morse announced last night he was going to start building an American merchant marine at once.
 t'At the Palmer plant we will build ocean-going freight steamers, coast wise vessels and boats for the barge canals. Work on these boats will start at once. They will be built for the United States Steamship Company which is endeaVoring to relieve the freight situation.
 New York exporters are having hard time to find bottoms. By the purchase of the Palmer plant we hope to be able to put fleet of good freight vessels at the service of the exporters and merchants in a short time
 The Palmer shipyards are five miles from New London. They can accommodate ocean-going vessels. Among vessels built there are the ocean-going racing yacht Fleetwing, the steamer Rhode Island and many of the towboats and barges in use in New York harbar.
 MT. Morse and his associates in the United States Steamship Company have been negotiating for the pur- chase for some months.

INTERNATIONAL
 EGG LAYING CONTEST

7 In the thirtieth week of the laying
 contest at Storrs the hens produced
 4,4O2 eggs or little over 300 more
 than for the corresponding week last
 year. At the close of the twenty
 sixth week when the competition was
 just half over the probable production
 for the year was estimated at an ave-
 rage of 17O eggs per bird. The basis
 for this calculation was the fact that
 in the two preceding contests the hens laid at the end of the first stz months, a. little over Al per cent. of their year
 yield. There now appears another
 method of checking this estimate,
 namely; that of ascertaining the date
 on which half the eggs for the year are laid. In 1914 this date fell on
 May 21st, and in 1915 it fell on May 22nd. On May 21st, 1916 each hen in the contest had averaged to lay 85.2 eggs. Doubling this makes, of course, a little over ITO eggs or an estimate in exact accord with that made on the percentage plan at the end of fhe first six months.
 The three best pens for the week, representing as many different breeds and hailing from as many different states, were very close together but all three of these easily outdistanced all other pens in the contest. P. G.
 Platt's pen of White Leghorns from Wa1lingford, Pa, were first with 60 eggs to their credit. Homer F. Dem ing's Rhode Island Reds from Win sted. Conn.,, were second with a yield of 59 eggs and Albert T. Lenzen's White Rocks from No. Att1eboro, Mass. were third with a production of 5S eggs.
 With the exception of the White lLeghorn group the leading pens in each class are so close together that a let-up for a single week is likely to lose the best it's nIace Thus
 among the Plymouth Rocks the sec
 ond best pen is only 12 eggs behind the leaders. In the Rhode Island
 Red class the second pen is only II
 eggs behind; in the Wyandotte group
 there is a difference of 23 eggs be-
 tween the two best pens and in Mis- cellaneous a difference of 15 eggs.

PRESIDENTS ROW HAS NOT REACHED
 l CONVENTION GAIT
Boomlets of Favorite Sons Are Awaiting C.. O. P.
 Delegates.

Chicago, June 2-PresidentiaI Row in the Congress Hotel, where are quar- tered the different booms. has not struck it's convention gait as yet Typewriters have been unIimbered, mimeograph machines installed and fair typists pause expectantIy over their machines. but thus far they have had little to do. The situation is such that the press agents, mana gers and assistant boosters hesitate to commit themse1N es and the output of state rnents upon the merits and streiK-1 of their respective candidates has been eXcsed edi1's1y small.
 Busiest an"rg the Eeadquar z CTS up to date has been that uf Sena=0r Tohn W Weeks, with the Senator's class mate, c. l.. Weller i1. charge Mir Weller is a AIarylander, but he IS working with his coat off for the Massachusetts man. The headquar- ters are well equipped with ushers, doorkeepers and typewriters and any one passing the door is likely to be pulled in for a handshake with the candidate.
 Today the Weeks typewriters got busy long enough to turn off a state 1nent made by Bird Mcclure, Com gressnlan from Oklahoma and a ,ielc- gate at large. H. woke up the ma chimes with tho following decla1 alton made Immediately upon his arrival:
 "Any one who has served with John W. Weeks in Congress and has seen the faithfuIness and the ability with which he performs his duties in that great body must necessarily be an ardent admirer of the man NJ, task is too great or too irllsOme for him to handle, and feel absolutely confi- dent that if he should be named Pres ident of the United States he would set a record for efficient admjnistra- f I3o+ To T by any other man.
 Senator Weeks has a strong fellow ing in my State. He made visit there last year and made a wonderful impression upon the Republicans of Oklahoma. I propose to give the Sen ator my ardent support in the con- vention, and from what information I have gathered since my arrival in Chicago think there is an excellent
 chance that Senator Weeks will be | nominated
 The Weeks people are still insisting 1 that they have at least 200 votes all
 sewed up and are absolutely certain
 of leading on the first ballot. No de- ftailed figures go with this statement I however.
 | The boom of Senator Lawrence Y. | Sherman of Illinois, which has been | typewriters are concerned, got going I in 1ivelier fashion today with the ar
 rival of Representative William B
 Mckinley, who was the Taft manager in 1912. MT. Mckinley has just got l back from the coast.
 | ''It is becoming more and more ap- l parent said MT. Mckinley, that the l Republican nominee for President vii be from the central West, and the
 sentiment in favor of Illinois candi- date Senator Sherman, has growr l irnm ensely during the last week. The delegates from the West, whatever may have been their original predi- l 1ections, are beginning to look Wes

preservation, and his advice carries weight. He has fought the bubOnic plague in San Francisco, the yellow fe- yer epidemic in New Orleans, and has performed other distinguished services since he entered the service of. Uncle Sam nearly a quarter of a century ago.
 According to pr. Blue, Americans take too little exercise, and the mus cles arteries, kidneys, heart and oth- CT organs degenerate. Take daily exercise says pr. Blue in one of his bulletins, and adds Wheel the ba- by." Of course, if you haven't a ba- by to wheel there are many other eX- ceIlent forms of outdoor exercise, and pr. Blue, suggests golf and gardening as fine substitutes. But they are not
 'in it'' with baby carriage pushing. This may sound foolish to those who have never tried it, and look upon lt as a. light and piffling exercise, but if the carriage is a heavy one and the baby a plump little specimen of hu- manity-as he is likely to be if giv7 en a daily airing-the novice at the baby-wheeling sport is likely to dis cover several new muscles that he
 didn't know he had. Especially is this true if the expedition is over city streets, where the carriage has to be raised and lowered frequently at curbs. Dr. Blue declares tbot disease-car- rying insects constitut one of the
 
 diers in Mexico. Sanitation has new
 CT received much attention in the southern republic, and, in consequence any campaign in Mexico has to take into account not only the Nexicans,
 but also mosquitoes, flies, heas, lice, ticks and bedbugs. The main busi- ness of the Mexican striped-leg "skeet-
 ers," according to Dr! Blue, is to transport yellow fever germs. An
 other brand of mosquito, the Anophe- lies, is a common carrier of the malaria microbes. The fly speeializes in ty- phoid bugs, and the louse carries about with it a brook of typhus germs The flea has Q fondness for the so- ciety of plague germs, and the ticks faVorite poison is spotted fever bacil- lf The bedbug, says Dr. Blue, is en-
 gagged in a sort of general transporta- ton business, and he accuses it of car rying several diseases in it's kit.

 PERSIAN TRADE
 FROM GERMANS
Mustn't Be Too Hasty About Collecting Bills, Says
 Noted Authority.

Berlin. June 2.-America now has a remarkably favorable opportunity to secure the lions share of the Per sian trade. but American business men must adapt their methods to Persian customs or they will fail, ac-
 cording to Dr. Ernst Zahn, "a Leipzig authority on Persia, and the Persians.
 Dr. Zahn quoted with approval from consular report made by the
 American yiee-consuI at Teheran in which it is declared that. the American business men must reconcile them selves to granting longtime credits, and that business cannot be properly done by correspondence, but must be looked after by personal representa-
