the rate of 13.6 per cent. This total is 251 eggs greater than for the preced- ing week, but is still somewhat short of the corresponding week last year. In the present competition the pens are equally divided between Leghorns and heavier breeds. This makes it an easy matter to compare the light and heavy breeds. with respect to their rate of laying. Of the total 952 eggs, less than 40 per cent. were produced by the 300 birds classified as heavy; while tn 500 White Leghorns laid a total of 575 eggs, or a little more than an egg per bird. There are still g pens which have failed to produce an egg in the three weeks they have been at Storrs. Seven of these are to be found among the Leghorns, and the remaining 16 among the heavy breeds.
 During the current week pen of Leghorns belonging to D. Tancred of Kent, Wash, came very near equalinS the previous high weekly record for the third week by laying 46 eggs. A pen Of White Wyandottes belonging to Obed G. Knight of Bridgeton, R. l., was in second place for the week with yield of 9S eggs, while third honors went to a pen of Isegho:'ns belonging to the William L. Gilbert Home, Win sted. Conn, that laid B eggs for the week. No other pens were able to reach a production of 90 eggs.
 Poultrymen who have been shipping white eggs to the New YoS5 market during the past few weeks have cer- tainly been receiving 'entum on their product. The high price was reached about two wee;.5 ago when top quotations on fancy white eggs were s1 a dozen wholesale At the same time the highest grade of brown eggs was quoted at "A cents dozen. Thus it will be seen that there are some New Workers who are willing to pay a premium of more than a cent an egg in order to secure a product hav- ing a white shell. The practical point here involed for the poultryman is to ship his highest grade white eggs 10 market which pays a premium on white eggs, but to ship brown eggs to some other market, such as New Haven, Providence, or Boston, where brown eggs are worth as much or more than white ones.

have found their direct antitheses in
these men is also, as Carlyle would
have said, significant of much.
The Jaffa recruits show much
greater uniformity of type. Their ply
sique is remarkable. Out of the first
102 examined by the doctor, 100
were classified fit for general ser
vice. In Jerusalem there was moth
ing like the same. standard, over one
third of the applicants being re-
jected. There were several in
stances of volunteers who failing to
pass the doctor in Jaffa marched the
40 miles to Jerusalem to try once
more to get accepted. Numbers of
boys of II gave their ages as 20.
The recruits come from all grades
and classes of the Jewish commun-
ity. Jaffa and the colonies have been
practically swept of their youth.
What the Press Bureau report
does not mention with anything like
the point that it should is the fact
that far earlier in the war, before the
Government Declaration, the Pal
estine youths joined up to form a
force composed of Jews Zion
Mule Corps-which distinguished
itself not little on the side of the
Allies in. the Gallipoli campaign.
But the communique gives some
further interesting details.
A sight of these recruits at their
preliminary drills in the courtyard
of the Hebrew school at Tel Aviv, or
at their English classes (many Of
them only talk Hebrew or Yiddish),
it says, is sufficient to convince one
of the real genuineness of their

PALESTINE JEWISH SOL
DIER'S.


a very interesting account of the
enlistment of Jews in Palestine as
reinforcements for the Judeans sent
out from England. The Gehud, or
regiment" is said to have become
extremely popular among the young
Jewish colonists, who, mostly of
Russian origin it is worth noting,
organized a spontaneous movement
for rendering military aid to the
Allies in their work of redeeming
Palestine from the Turk A petition
to the British military authorities
explains the standpoint adopted by
these young men.
We, a group of initiators, embrac
ing several hundreds (they de-
clared), have decided, from inner
most conviction, to volunteer as
Jewish unit for fighting service, in
order to take part in the great his
toric event of our country's liberia
ton. We know that by
carrying on our peacetime work on
the land we could help the prosecu-
ton of the war. But at this historic
moment we can not abide by this
role only. We volunteers are most
ly laborers working plough and pick.
We had written on our banners the
word "work" because in work on the
soil we see the leaven of our nation
al renaissance If we now leave
our work it is because an inner voice
calls to us to give not only the sweat
of our brows, but our blood also.
The spirit Of the Maccabees is
surely not departed from our people,
and Palestine appears most able
to arouse it where it is latent
The communique tells us (what
we have already noted in these
columns) of the enormous enthus-
iasm with which the idea of serving
in the Judeans fired these men.
The moment the recruiting offices
were open there { we are told) was a
rush to the doors, and the scene,
in Jafa particularly, recalled the
scenes in England in 1914. There
was no hesitation on the part of
parents, employers, dependents, or
women folk. Practically all the able
bodied men Joined the movement
No pressure or recruiting sergeants
were required in Jaffa. In Jerusalem
conditions are, of course, different.

TRUCKING

Lures of Gold Brick Schemes For the
Small Investors.
Will persons with money never learn
how to take care of 1t? Will they
never guard themselves against the
horde of tricksters who make a bust
ness of taking advantage OF the cred
ulous and especially Of credulous wo-
men?
Bear In mind that no one will make
money for you when he can make 1t
for himself. II he offers to give you
the key to wealth, suspect him, for
such keys are kept by their possessors
and are not given away to strangers.
The postofiice year or two ago
showed that over $50. O00. 900 had been
lost by persons who listened to the
gold brick schemers, but the game still
goes on despite the vigilance Of the
postoffice department and the passage
Of protective measures, known as s'blue
sky laws" by many states.
Will the people never learn to dis
count the alluring literature which
these shysters send out and which is
written for them by some Of the sharp
est and brightest writer's Of our day,
whose services can be easily obtained
Tor a few dollars?
l advise my readers who receive
these tempting propositions to send
them at once to the postmaster gen.
eral at Washington for investigation.
That Is the business of the postoff1ce
department, and 1T will be only too
happy to take up such matters.
Small investors are particularly the
victims Of these bunko schemes, for
the false notion prevails that man
or woman with a small amount of
money cannot buy high class invest
ment securities such as successful In
vest0rs prefer. This is erroneous. An
investment can now be made In the
best of paying securities with as small
an amount as $40 through the partial
payment plan, which is readily under
stood, though the term may sound
formidable.-Leslie's Weekly.

PACKING GOLD IN KEGS.
Care Taken In Preparing the Money
Metal For Shipment.

Care Taken In Preparing the Money
Metal For Shipment.
When gold shipment is to be made
by ship the necessary number Of kegs
are taken In a truck to the assay Office,
where they are received at door In
the rear. The gold bars are then
placed on a hand truck and rolled to
the kegs. In the presence of the agents
of the shippers and Of the officials Of
the assay Office the bars are packed In
the kegs, and sawdust is placed around
them to prevent abrasion. When the
heads Of the kegs have been placed
over the packed bars piece OF red
tape is stretched across and fastened
between the chine and the edge Of the
head. The seal Of the shipping house
Is then attached to the head and the
bottom Of each keg.
After sealing the kegs are rolled to
the wagon and lifted on. 1t takes two
men to handle each keg, as there are
ten bars to key, with total gold
weight of about 100 pounds. It may.
be mentioned that 100000 weighs In
gold about $50 pounds, and 81, ZOO, 600
weighs $500 pounds. Some time ago
one Of the officials of an assay office
compiled figures showing how much
gold man could actually handle. It
Is singular thing that great difficulty
is experienced in carrying gold for any
distance. The weight seems to be
more dead than that Of other metals,
although that may be an illusion.
For instance, the average man could
carry 100 pounds Of gold one mile with
tort much discomfort. It's value would
Se5about $4,000. A strong man could
carry, say, $50 pounds a mile, reaching
the end of mis- journey with Just under
$4,000. A very powerful man might
carry 200 pounds, or nearly $4,000, a
mile without exhaustion. Carrying
gold is almost as difficult as getting it.

FIRST AMERICAN TRAITOR.
Benjamin Church Played That Role
During the Revolution.

Benjamin Church Played That Role
During the Revolution.
Benjamin Church, graduate Of Har-
ward and q member of distinguished
New England family, was the first
American traitor. Church became en-
inent as surgeon and as writer Of
verse and was one of the leading
Wings In the years just preceding the
Revolution. at one time he was a
member of the Massachusetts provin-
cial congress and became member OF
the famous Boston committee of
safety.
The committees plans were cOnsis-
tently revealed to General Gage, gov
ernor Of the province, but the source
Of the leak was not discovered until
after the Revolution was fairly under
way. At the time of the actual break
between the colonies and England
Church was assigned to an important
colonial hospital. In September, 1775.
letter from Church to British army
officer, containing secrets Of the colo
mist army, was intercepted. Church
had intrusted the letter, written in
code, to a woman, to be conveyed to
one of General Cages staff officers.
The woman contested her share In the
reasonable move and implicated
Church.
The traitor was taken before coun-
Gil presided over by Washington, and
be there practically admitted his guilt.
Congress, acting on the suggestion of
the trial council, ordered Church kept
in close confinement in the Cambridge
jail, without the use Of pen or paper,
and that no person be allowed to con-
verse with him except In the presence
and hearing of colonial officers until
further orders from this or future
congress"
Church's health failed rapidly, and
he was permitted to undergo Danish
ment to the West Indies. He sailed In
merchant vessel In May, 1776. and
neither the ship nor Church ever was
heard OF again.-Kansas City Star.

u Takes q Corps Of Trained Clerks 60
Handle the Letters.
President Wilson's mail bag IL the
largest In the world. Thousands OF let
tiers arrive daily, and every one OF any
Importance must have the individual at
tention Of Americas first citizen. OF
course the president Is not able to read
all bis correspondence himself. This
difficulty is overcome by a carefully de-
veloped system by which the contents
Of the White House mail bag OF any
importance are laid before Mr.. Wilson
each day.
The work of selection. falls upon a
corps Of confidential clerks, who open
the letters and give them first read
ing; then they are carefully sorted.
Many of them are simply recommended
lions for Office. These, after courteous
acknowledgment, are referred to the
proper departments and placed on die
until the matter can be taken up Tor
consideration.
Hundreds Of the missives are purely
formal or contain impossible requests.
These are Immediately answered by the
staff and signed by one of the presi-
dents assistant secretaries.
Such communications as the president
ought to see are clearly briefed-that
is, slip is pinned Mt the top OF each
letter, and on this is-a typewriter

writer is and what he has to present.
frequently the president is sufficiently
interested by the brief to cause him to

NEW YoRK,s SKY LINE.
A Riet Of Architecture In lts Jagged
Forest Of Towers.

A Riet Of Architecture In lie Jagged
Forest Of Towers.
The best of New York is against the
sky. We have not an equally arrayed
town like Paris or London, with a
tolerably even roof line and only few
monuments here and there rearing
heads above the ruck. Everything in
New York tries to be higher than ev-
erything else. The profile Of the city
is as jagged as second growth forest.
A city of towers is the name that has
been used to describe Manhattan. But
it is far too polite. We are much more
like colossal factory town with an
unending variety Of workshops topped
by the tallest Of marble chimneys.
Restlessness and activity are its
watchwords. Even our private houses
are stood on end. A few millionafres
can afford to buy block and spread
out their homes SO as actually to look
rooted to the ground. The rest Of the
world must live on end in tree house,
connected by many ladders, that might
walk of down the street at any mo-
ment. Our few monumental structures,
like the custom house and the library
and the Metropolitan museum, are sim
ply noteworthy exceptions whose pla-
cidity makes the surrounding upheavals
all the more turbulent.
Mere change in the manner Of the
bandar log is not the real spirit OF New
York's sky line, however. 1t Is tur-
bulence with method. Contest, rivalry,
the will to beat out ones neighbOr,
stick out In every jutting cornice. In
every soaring tower. The brick facades
of the newer dwelling houses quarrel
with each other In exactly the same
fashion. Restraint, modesty, desire
to melt into the general scheme OF
things. almost never occurs to owner or
architect. One Of the newer houses on
Fifth avenue comes to mind, perfect
word in dignity and restraint. 1t Is al
most indecently conspicuous by reason
Of Its contrast With its shouting, tenn
pestuous neighbors.-New York IT'D
