When is "a egg" not "a egg"
In Northeast Washington there
lives an gg-so-called-laid by q
chicken who threatens to outclass the
proverbial goose which laid the gold
en- eggs.
The egg is called an egg because il
can't be denied that it was mothered
BY a chicken. It resembles an ordi-
nary chicken egg in general
shapeliness. But there the resem-
blance stops. It's q sort of a super
egg.
The egg, which is owned by Mrs.
Horace ". Darling, 4OS Eleventh
street northeast. is 0& by S& inches
in circumference. This - more than
an inch and q half larger than the
normal hens egg, according to the
Department OF Agriculture. The
measurements, incidentally, are said
to be "eggs-actly" correct
The eggs mother, q Germantown,
Nd, biddy, has q habit OF laying a
whale OF an egg every day. Some OF
'em are double yolkeFs. Her owner,
Mrs. Horace Bennett, doesn't know
how she does IL. Perhaps biddy Is
egged on by previous experiences.
MISTRESS Hen, who Is about two
years old, began laying huge eggs
last summer.
Note: Nothing is insinuated. but
the fact remains that Germantown,
Nd, is not yet dry.

ings.
This is the advertisement which
was inserted in The Times by J. D.
Sullivan, crippled hero of Spanish
American war fame and descendant
of American sailors who fought in the
Revolution and in the war OF 1912.
Sullivan was a top-seTgeant OF en-
gineers in the ARRAY with Spain; and
also served as private, corporal and
sergeant Of infantry and artillery.
Sullivan lost one leg from wounds
received in battle; the other leg,
struck in the knee by a Spanish
mauser bullet. is imprisoned in a steel
casing.
Sullivan's grandfather, John Dixon,
was a gunner on the Niagara, in Per-
rvs epic battle with the British on
Lake Erie: and Sullivan is also a de-
scendant of Captain Sullivan, who
served with the doughty Continental
fleet, which harassed British shipping
in the Revolutionary war.

VIII Bring About Building.
One good result of the decision Of
Judge Gould will be to bring about
a resumption Of building in Wash
ington, in the view Of many real
estate men, including Charles w.
Fairfax, who is president o. the Real
Estate Brokers Association.
The idea is that tenants will refuse
to pay higher rents il they can buy
or build homes OF their own. Much
will depend upon how high rents are
raised. That will depend a good deal
upon individual landlords. Many of
them are reasonable and fair in all
things they do, with consideration
for their tenants. others will care
for nothing except the almighty dol
lar and will use their power out
rageously and unfairly
There are tenants who have been
just as iuconsiderate and unjust to
landlords as II was possible to be
and these may find themselves in a
bad situation.
Landlord Now Sole Judge
Conservative men today regretted
that there Is not in existence some
tribunal to which may be referred
outrageous and unfair treatment by
either side. AS the matter now
stands, when the Court of Appeals
finally acts, and in the event il de-
clares the law unconstitutional, the
landlord will be the sole Judge of
what is right in rent prices. It is

which would yield a return OF z per

business OF manufacturing and dis
