HALL RULES A FAVORITE FOR
 TENNIS TITLE
Present City Champion Playing Great Game, and Sure to Put Up Strong Battle for Y. M. c. A. Club Honors.

Charles Bennett, conqueror of Com pensation Commissioner Edward T, Buckingham, the many-times cham pion of Bridgeport, will clash with Dr. R. Warren Hall in the final round of the Y. M. c. A. tennis tournament for the championship of the club at Sea side park this afternoon. Bonnet won his right to play for the seasons hon ors by disposing of his noted oppon- ent yesterday afternoon in a three-set match. the first and third sets going to the ultimate victor, while the com missioner annexed the second. The scores were 6-2, 3-6 and 7-5.
 Dr. Halls victory over Frank M. Fosdick, which placed him in the final bracket, was not an unexpected one. The former is almost without peer in this city, seldom failing to make his way into the finals of club or city tournament and as frequently as not carrying off the title. The match went to Dr. Hall who was in excep- tionaIly good form, in straight sets 6-3, and 6-4.
 Play for the doubles championship will start tomorrow afternoon, and all who are contemplating entering should hand their names in to F. B. Hawley, who has charge of the tour nament by tonight.
 Dr. Hall, present city champion rules a slight favorite, in the minds of tennis experts, over his rival for the title match this afternoon, but Ben nett has decidedly more than a look in, and the play should be fast and

INTERNATIONAL
 EGG CONTEST

The total production for the 41st week of the laying contest at Storrs was 3,496 eggs, or 49.9 per cent yield. For the first time in IS weeks the birds gained on the previous weeks yield, going 231 eggs over the 10th week. With the exception of the Ore sons the Leghorns made a clean sweep for weekly honors. The Ore gons got the week with 5S eggs. Pen 5.9 owned by Exmoor Farms, Lebanon, Pa, was second with 55 eggs. Pen 6S owned by Hollywood Farm, Holly wood, Wash, was third with 53 eggs. Pen 7S, owned by B. A. Ballard, Chestnut Hill Pa., was fourth with 52 eggs to their credit while pen 66, Dautrich Bros, Winsted, Conn.,, was fifth with 51 eggs.
 The poultry mite, commonly called red mite probably does it's greatest damage during the month of August. During the day time it hides in the cracks and crevices under the roosts and at night when the hens are sleep ing crawls out along the roosts and on the hens. Unlike the common body lice which lives on the hens eating the skin scale, this pest sucks the blood and is thus more dangerous. Many hens and chickens which act dopey and are pale about the head are suffering from loss of blood that these mites take from them. There are large numbers of measures recom- mended to kill the mites in the poul- try houses. Kerosene, carbolic acid, zenolenum and white wash are all effective to a certain degree, but car bolenium has been found far more efficient. One application year is enough in most cases.

LIBERTY LOAN INTEREST RATE.

Secretary McAdoo has definitely an- nounced that the Fourth Liberty Loan bonds will bear 1-4 per cent. inter- est.
 The Secretary has been insistent that the government interest rate should be stabilized at 4 1-4 per cent. He points out that a raise in the rate of interest of only one-fourth of 1 per cent. on $10,00O, 100000 of government bonds would mean an annual increase of S25, 100000 in interest charges, and that this money would have to be raised by increased taxation and paid by the people of the country. It would not be paid by one class only, because there are consumption as well as other kinds of taxes, and the con- sumption taxes reach every class of people.
 "As an intelligent people," said Sec retary McAdoo during the Third Lib erty Loan campaign, I've should now make a stand for the financing of our government during the period of this war at a stabilized rate of interest, say at IA per cent. per annum, so that all business and all investments may be adjusted to that basis, and so that we ourselves may protect ourselves against successively increased rates of interest on government loans."
 Neither our patriotism nor our sup port of the Liberty Loans are measur- ed in fractions of per cent.

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
By MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: Is it the
right thing to have a surprise party
on Sunday for a member of the fam
lily who has been away from home
nine months and returns the night
before. Should it be in the evening
and should the guests have partners
for supper? BRUNETTE.
I think It would be all right to
have the party on Sunday. Some peo-
pies religious views would prevent
their doing so. II you think II is all
right and your guest does. there is no
reason why you should not have 1t
then.
A supper party or tea ought to be
very agreeable way of entertaining.
1t Is not necessary to have partners.
Dear Mrs Thompson: I am a girl
or lS and 1 am SO much bothered
with superfluous hair all over my face
and arms l went to a drug store and
got a jar of hair remover and put II
on and the hair came off. But two
days after 1t was out again and just as
thick as ever. 1t doesn't look like
superhuous hair any more 1t looks
like mans face now. Do you think
1T would stay away in time IL / kept
using the remedy? WORRIED,
The only thing that will remove
superfluous hair permanently is the
electric needle. Go to a specialist and
get advice. Do not use the remedy
again, because 1t will only Increase
the growth and make the permanent
cure more expensive.
