INTERNATIONAL
 EGG CONTEST

In the twenty-fourth week of the laying contest at Storrs a Connecticut pen of Leghorns entered by George Phillips of Seymour set a new high mark for weekly production in the present competition. Up to this time a Massachusetts pen of Rhode Island Reds hald the weekly record with a yield of 5S eggs. The Connecticut pen has now set this aside and pushed the mark up to 59 eggs. Charles HI. Lanes Rhode Island Reds from Southboro, Mass, were in second po- sition for the week with yield of 57 eggs. Albert T. Lenzen's White Rocks from North Attleboro, Mass, and Deer Brook Poultry Farms S Rhode Island Reds from Short Falls, N. H., tied for third place with 54 eggs each. A pen of Barred Rocks from Massachusetts, another from New York and pen of Leghorns from New York all tied for fourth place with 53 eggs each. The total production for all pens was 4,06S, a yield of 5S per cent.
 Early in February the Food Admin istration issued an order prohibiting the sale of live or lately killed hens and outlets. This order known as Rule 14 threw little scare into the poultrymen of certain sections. This rule was to have been in force until the 1st of May; it is, however, now rescinded nearly two weeks earlier than at first planned. This fact, how ever, should not have any apprecia- 1 bIe effect on the amount Of native poultry offered for sale; the broilers are not yet ready and the hens and bullets are laying too many eggs to think of selling them; furthermore, II everyone rushed to unload the minute the rule is removed, such action would in itself tend to upset the mar ket.
 The three best pens in each of the principal varieties are as follows:

GREGORY UPHOLDS THE BOY SCOUTS
 OF AMERICA

New York, April 22.---There will he no Federal investigation of the off, lcal conduct of Colin H. Livingston, president of the national council of the Boy Scouts of America, and James E. West, chief scout execu- tive.
 That much was made evident yes terday when officers of the Row Scouts made public a letter written by Attorney General Gregory to John ID. Chuck, commissioner at large of the United States Boy Scouts, de- clining even to retain in the files of the Department of Justice Gluck's pe- tlt1on for such an investigation. The letter of the Attorney General to Chuck administers a sharp rebuke to him for having made the complaint, which the Department of Justice should never have received, MT. Greg ory said, because it contained no trace of proof---or even an a1legation---of wrongdoing by any one connected with the Boy Scouts of America or ganization.
 When Gluck's complaint was mailed to the Department of Justice in March that fact was communicated to the newspapers and received wide pub licity together with the explanation that if the complaint was entertained the United States District Attorney here would immediately take the mat ter up.
 "The statements contained in these news items,'' the Attorney General said in his letter to Chuck, were not based upon anything derived from the Department of Justice, either directly or indirectly It is evident that there was a. plan to injure the Boy Scouts of America and to use the Depart ment of Justice as vehicle to ac- complish this end"
