INDICATES GOOD LAYING HEN

the Black Minorcas.

One Of the characteristics Of a good
laying hen Is a large comb. The old
timers used to say, "the bigger the
comb, the better the layer" and there
is a great deal Of truth In 1t. Notice
the large comb Of the black Minorca,
one Of our very best layers. and the
layer of the largest egg Of any breed.
Notice the large combs Of the Leghorns,
the best of egg-layers. Put 1t down as
an axiom Of truth that a hen with q
large comb, and a bright red comb, II
q good layer.

CONCRETE SHIPS
MADE DURABLE
New Protective Coating May
Make Them Lasting As
Steel, Expert Thinks

Discovery Of n novel protective
coating for the new fleet OF concrete
ships that the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration is building Will make these
ships as durable as the big steel YES
sells now crowding the shipways OF
the country.
This is the expert opinion OF r. J.
Wig. chief engineer of the Concrete
ship Division Of the United States
shipping Board Emergency Fleet
Corporation. made public yesterday.
Prom our comprehensive investi-
cations OF concrete structures in sen
water" said Mr.. Wig. we are as
sured that concrete ships win last n
minimum OF several years without
any protection whatever. BY the APP
plication Of protective coaungs which
arc well known 10 us we are certain
Of an extended life OF several years
additional. And with the further de
velopment OF protective means upon
which we are now working believe
the concrete ships can be made as
permanent as steel. II not more so.
AT a meeting Of the American
Concrete Institute. held at Atlantic
City recently. / was unfortunately
rilsquoted as saying that the con.
crete ship would last only one year.
OF course. this Is not so. nor did
say IL. and am anxious TO have this
erroneous statement corrected az
soon as possible because IL puts the
concrete ship in an utterly false po-
sition.
~The many able engineers who are
now dcvoting their time to the study
OF concrete in our organization are
becoming more and more enthusias-
tic over the future OF concrete ships.
improvements are constantly being
made which make concrete more
suitable for shipbulding.
Few people realize that the con-
crete ship is actually twenty per cent
lighter than the wood ship. II built
OF the new concrete mixture devel-
oped by the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration. The aggregate from which
this new concrete is made is so light
that II floats on water and yet IL
makes a kind OF concrete. possessing
twice the strength of that used in or.
binary building construction. with
this development the concrete ship
will come into more direct competi-
ton with the steel ship.
There are many problems yet 10
be solved in the building OF concrete
ships. and while this new industry
sprung into life as an emergency
war measure, it's future is becoming
more and more established as per
manent institution"

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, May 10.-The
Gross birthday surprise present is all
off in Harvard baseball, and the speedy
Crimson captain, playing his last game
for the university tomorrow against
Yale, has asked his fellow performers
to forget all about giving him any ma
terial happy returns Of the day.
Bobby Gross is Harvard's baseball
leader. Tomorrow he will be twenty
one. His friends on the team desired
to remember him littingly, especially
since the fast little shortstop will en-
ter the officers training camp at Camp
Grant, Illinois, next Wednesday. But
Gross got wind of their intentions and
gathered all the culprits about him.
This is what he said:
"You fellows want to make me a
birthday gift. I would prefer that
you did not-that is, unless you have
some hand-painted helmets or per-
fume-proof gas masks. l tell you
what you can do, though, to help me

sports playing just as they did before
the war. While the varsity engages

freshmen will go afar for their battle

DOME Bush can always be expected
to show his best form to the metro
politan fans. In the first inning he
went away in behind second and killed
what seemed sure hit for Del Pratt
Pipp raced up against the concrete
to smother Dauss's twisting foul spiral
in the third inning.
The fans gave Wild Bill Donovan a
hearty greeting when he made his first
appearance on the field. The smiling
one got big hand every time he ap-
peared on the coaching lines.
Hughie Jennings had hard time
finding sufficient grass supply along
the lines, but his coaching antics suf-
tered little in consequence. The pop
ularity of Jennings, Donovan, Cobb
and Tigers was attested by an unusual
ly large weekday attendance, despite
threatening weather.
Little Owen Bush always excels him
self when he appears before a New
York crowd. His stop and throw in
the first inning that took a hit off Pratt
was one of the most sensational contri-
buttons of the present season at the
Polo Grounds.
