FORECAST OF NEW FARE
 ZONES ON TROLLEY LINE


 Just after the city of New London has passc-- regulation barring from Mon tGuk avenue the jitneys which were charging 10 cents for the fare to Ocean Beach. The Connecticut Company. which operates it's trolley line along this street announces that the fare to the beach vii be advanced from to 10 cents The new fare rate goes into effect on Thursday July 15.
 The trolley announcement is as fol- lows:
 "on and after July 15, 1920. the fare on the trolley cars from the parade to Thames street will be five cents and from Thames street to the beach, five cents, making total of ten cents fare from the parade to Ocean Beach, and the same returning
 The reason for this increase, which was contemplated last year by the Shore Line company, and later studied by the Connecticut Company cost officials, is an- nounced as being due to the increase in cost of operation over the cost of a year or two years ago, and the recent increase in wages of the motormen and conduc- tors.
 The cost officials of the company are figuring out cent unit plan for the East Lyme and Norwich runs so that no tokens or pennies will be used in col lectlng 1areS. The unit Tor , cents will be two miles, and within a few days the complete fare schedule for these two lines will be announced. Under the contern- plated plan, the fare from New London to Norwich would be 35 cents with 20 cents to just beyond Montville. The fares on the Niantic line will probably be 5 cents to Mossbroker's switch 10 cents to the Waterford barn, 15 cents to the Golden Spur. 20 cents to point one mile south of Flanders, and 30 cents to Mantle and 35 to Crescent Beach.
 The directors of the Connecticut Co. will meet in New London Saturday to discuss matters pertaining to the New London Norwich, Putnam division.

JUDGE AMMAN GIVES THREE DECISIONS

Spicer of Groton against c. Tyler Lam phere, administrator of the estate of the late James o. Spicer.
 Everett Spicer brought the appeal against the action of the probate court in ordering a sale of a 53 acre tract of land at Eastern Point in order that it might be partitioned among five heirs according to their interests. He wanted it partitioned into separate tracts for di- vision. After describing the property. Judge Hinman says in part in his memo randum of decision:
 Possibly a partition of said tract in- to two parts might be practicable but taking into consideration the size, shape, location and general conditions of the real estate, its availability and value, for present purposes or those reasonably to be anticipated, and other facts proper. ly to be considered no partition and dis tribution thereof in five parts equal in value is practicable. This conclusion is confirmed by the attitude and desire of four out of five of the prospective dis tributes and parties in interest in that they desire a partition by sale as best promoting their interests
 The conclusion has been reached that the character of the real estate in ques- ton is such that it cannot be beneficial ly partitioned and divided among the
  that to do so would materially lessen the value of their interests therein; and that it is for their best interests that said lessen the value of their interests there in and that it is for their best inter- ests that said real estate be sold, and the proceeds thereof be divided among them.
 The appeal is therefore dismissed, and the order of the probate court appealed from is confirmed.
 Decision on Demurrer
 Findings on a demurrer in the suit of Arthur H. Wilkinson against William s. Neilan, which is a case arising over the commercial use made of property a, Ocean beach. are given by Judge Hin man, overruling the demurrer on two points and sustaining it on three points
 This conclusion renders unnecessary a determination of the motion to separate which was made with the demurrer.

 eggs and pen of oregons entered by the Oregon Agricultural college from Corval- lis. Ore. were fifth with 54 eggs.
 In the present week of the contest a total of 61 birds were consigned to the broody coops. According to the records obtained from egg laying contests at Storrs, about so per cent. of the hens of the American breed go hroody they aver age to go broody about 2.7 times each and to lose during each broody period about 21 days. The average length of time lost by all hens included in the American class is B days per year per hen. Based on the figures that a hens time is worth two cents a day for egg production, the loss from broodiness would be 66 cents per hen.- A coop or crate with a slat or wire bottom seems to be the most satisfactory for confning hens during their broody period The common practice is to confine them three days and nights and if they then go back to the nest put them in the crate again for another three day period As a rule, broodiness follows production and will be followed by production if the hens are broken up at once.
