In the meat breeds there is not the
same uniforflty Of type that is found
in the laying breeds. The three mem
toned are all quite different. The
Brahma is most popular because Ii is
at the same time the largest and the
most rugged in constitution. The
Dorking excels in quality Of meat but
is generally considered somewhat
lacking in hardness. The Cornish Is
rather hard-meated, but being very
short feathered has it's special place
as a large t-producing fowl in

Characteristics of General-Purpose
Breeds.
Among the popular breeds of the
general-purpose class there are also
differences in type, adapting breeds
to different uses. The Plymouth
Rock is generally regarded as the
type meeting the widest range Of re-
quirements in the general purpose
class.
The Wyandotte is a little smaller
and earlier maturing, but still very
well meated and easy to fatten.
The Rhode Island Red has nearly
the same standards OF weight as the
Wyandotte, but is a more active bird,
not putting on fat so readily; conse-
IL approaches the laying type
and is popular with those who want
eggs and meat, but want eggs most.

treme in the general-purpose class.

the Plymouth Rock.
A Breed for Everyone and Every
Purpose.
Such a list of breeds affords so
wide a range OF choice that poultry
keepers can always select a standard
breed better adapted to their locality
and their purpose than any nonstand-
ard stock they can procure, and hav-
Ing the further advantage Of repro
ducing true to type.

Ehret's 100000
Is Returned to Him
Alien Property Custodian Says
Seizure of Property Was
Formally

Francis p. Garvan, managing direc-
tor in New York for A. Mitchell Pal
ner, Alien Property Custodian, an
nounced last night that George Ehret's
S40,o00;00O worth of property had been
returned TO him. The property, which
includes two breweries, was seized last
May.
Attorney General Gregory ordered
the return, following an application
presented by Mr. Ehret. The estate
was taken over, because Mr.. Ehret, Il
naturalized citizen, was in Germany
when the war began and remained
there for nearly four years because Of
i'll health.
"The taking over of the property"
said Mr.. Garvan, SHOULD in no way be
taken as a reflection on the patriotism
or loyalty Of Mr.. Ehret as an American
citizen. Under the trading with the
enemy law, the Alien Property Custo-
dian was Obliged to take control of the
property here belonging to American
citizens who were in October, 1917, act
ually in Germany.
"Mr. Ehret having returned to this
country and having established his
American citizenship, his application
for the return of the property was
granted"

Machine Carries letters,

The New York to Chicago aerial mail
service is going to begin all over again
from the beginning.
On its initial venture Wednesday
only one cpistolary birdman set out
from Belmont Park on the first lap Of
the Chicago journey. Yesterday two
pilots took the air. The first carried
the mail-eight and a half pounds of it
booked for Chicago and five pounds for
as an Official bodyguard, in case of
emergency.
This plan was prompted by the mis-
haps Of the day before, when Pilot
Leon D. Smith, heading for Bcllefonte,
Penn, lost his way amid clouds. Late
last night an unofficial report said they
had landed "ne&r Bellefonte, Penn. "
How near it did not say nor in what
condition. And the Postoffice Depart

Neirher could the Aero Club. 1t is "be-
lieved,' however, they will continue
their Chicago-ward way to-day.
1t is also believed that Pilot Mike
Ebersoe viii SET out to-day from Chi
cago for New York.
In the interim the only definite word
received here OF any aerial mail pilot
now on active service concerned Pilot
Graeb, who started toward New York
from Washington yesterday. He is al
present at Iron Hill, Md, fifteen miles
south of Wilmington. Pilot Graeb en-
countered engine trouble, and reports
