that $4,000, 900 worth OF eggs spoil

tile. Fertile eggs, when subjected to
high summer temperature, il is stated,
begin to hatch just as when placed
in an incubator or under a hen, and
even though the process continues but
short time, the egg becomes unit
for food
This spoiIage Of eggs can be en-
tirely prevented. says the department
by swatting OF disposing of the
rooster after the breeding season is
over. The campaign for the produc-
ton OF infertile eggs has been waged
several years by department poultry
specialists, and is being taken W
with renewed vigor in States where
summer temperatures are highest and
losses are greatest.
Certain weeks already have been
designated Swat the Rooster" for
the sale of surplus male birds.
Enormous quantities OF roosters. not
needed and being fed needlessly, have
been marketed in this manner.

TOWERS PREDICTS
BRIDGE OF BOATS
By DON CHAMBERLAIN.

! Copyright. 1919, by the United Press
LONDON, June s.-Commander ]. H.
( Towers, skipper OF the EC-3, and lad
miraT of the fleet of three American
seaplanes on the transatlantic
flight, predicts permanent bridge
of boats will connect America and
Europe within five years. These
boats, he said. would serve as an aid
both TO aerial and aquatic navigation.
"A chain of light ships, each a
floating meteorological station, will,
within five years, mark the air routes
TO Europe" Towers declared. These
craft should be maintained internal
tionally, perhaps by the League of
Nations. The expenses would be
heavy, but not prohibitive Suisse
quent outlay would not compare with
the benefits derived.
- would suggest a lightship every
300 miles. They could keep in touch
with aerial craft steamers, and sail
ing vessels by wireless. Supply ships
could provision them, periodically. THE
first chain probably would be estab-
lished by way of the Azores, which is
the easiest air route, but I believe
another from Newfoundland to Ire
land would be practicable. They
would place transatlantic flying on
substantial basis.
Meteorological information is the
most important phase of flying across
the Atlantic. The NC-3 failed through
lack of this. We Unexpectedly en-
countered storms in an area in which
clear weather had been predicted
Each of the lightships could be man
ned by small crew and a radio
operator. The meteorologist need not
be extremely expert The ships could
also assist surface craft in distress"

 Sergeant Yorks home is in Pal Mall, Tennessee.

 T feel a heap stronger spiritually than when I went away" he said "No man could pass through what l have without feeling that way"
 Sergeant York said he was consld- ering entering the ministry, but had not yet determined on his future.
 From a hotel, Sergeant York talked over the long distance telephone with his mother in the little Pail Mall gro- cery store, five miles over the Kentucky border. After greeting her, he sent his love to his seven brothers and three sisters.
 York had little to say about the feat which won him the highest honor medal his country could bestow.
 T kept my automatic in my right hand all the time and my rifle in my left and kept on firing" he said.
