PREPAREDNESS WILL
 GUARD AGAINST INFLUENZA

At the opening of the season when cases of influenza may be detected. the United States public health service sends out the following, not to raise alarm, but as wise advice that should be in our minds at this time:
 Probably. but by no means certainly, there will be recurrence of the in fuenza epidemic this year.
 Indications are. that should it oc- cur, it will not be as severe as the pandep1ic of the previous winter.
 City officials. state and city boards of health. should be prepared in the event of recurrence.
 The fact that previous attack brings immunity in certain percent age of cases should allay fearSon the part of those aff1ictNd in the previous epidemic.
 Influenza is spread by direct and indirect contact.
 It is not yet certain that the germ has been isolated, or discovered and tive preventive, except the enforc- ment of rigid rules of sanitation and the avoidance of personal contact.
 A close relation between the inf1uen- ga pandemic and the constantly in creasing pneumonia mortality rate prior to the fall of 1918 is recognized
 It is now believed that the disease was pretty widely disseminated throughout the country before it was recognized in it's epidemic state. This
 
 appears to have largely been due to the fact that every interest was then cen tered on the war.
 Much was heard last winter of the use of face masks. Though the use of suitably constructed masks will re- duce the interchange of respiratory germs through inhalation. it must be remembered that there are many oth- CT paths by which such germs are transmitted from person to person. Soiled hands. common drinking cups, improperly cleaned eating and drink ing utensils in restaurants. soda four tains, etc. roller towels. infected food these are only a few of the com mon vehicles of germ transmission. The use of face masks appears to make people neglect these other paths of infection. and so the use of face masks has not been attended with the success predicted for them. If we would be more successful in combat ing influenza greater attention must be paid to the factors just enumerat- ed
 The most promising way to deal with q possible recurrence of the in luenza epidemic is, to sum it up in a single word, Preparedness. And now it is the time to prepare.

Tail Of the Fox,

One of the most notable features of the fox is his large and massive tall. writes John Burroughs. Seen running on the snow at a distance, his tail is quite as conspicuous as his body; and, so far as appearing q burden. seems to contribute to his lightness and buoy ancy. It softens the outline of his movements, and repeats or continues to the eye the ease and boise of his carriage.

WET WEATHER DOES NOT
 CHECK STORRS HENS

In spite of adverse weather condi- tions and in spite of the fact that poultry fiocks all over the country are on the down grade in the matter of egg yield, the report of the egg lay ing contest at Storrs for the forty fifth week shows increase of 45 eggs over the previous weeks produc- tion. Not only this. but the record is 77 eggs better than the average for the corresponding period during the past five years. The total for all pens was 3175 eggs, or a yield of~a little over 45 per cent
 A pen of Leghorns owned by J. Frank Dubois, East Lynn, Mass. was first with a yield of; 5 eggs. A pen Leghorn Farm, Atlantic Highlands N. J.. was second with yield of 50 eggs. Three other pens of Leghorns owned by Kirkup Brothers, Mattituck, N. T., Mrs J. L. Thuesen, New Haven, Conn, and D. Tancred. Kent. Washington, tied for third place with a yield, of 47 eggs each. Jules F, Francais' Bar red Rocks from Northampton Beach, L. I. Pinecrest Orchards Rhode Is- land Reds from Groton. Mass, and pen of -Leghorns from George Phil lips, Seymour. Conn. tied for fourth position with yield of 46 eggs. Dur red Plymouth Rocks. four Wyandottes, eleven Rhode Island Reds. and seven Leghorns that made perfect individu- al scores, by laying seven eggs each.
 For months good many breeders have been getting ready for the ninth contest. which opens in November. The college at Storrs has only suf- ficient equipment to accommodate L. 900 hens in the laying competitor con ducted under it's supervision. There are already enough applications to run the number of birds well above 1900, and it is still seven weeks before the next contest starts. The management is confident that if equipment could hG necticut and neighboring states would quickly fill up a laying competition in volving double the number of birds or total of 2ooo hens. No poultry been conducted in America. It is not feasible at Storrs this coming year but it is one of the possibilities of fu- ture development
