great things to check this. There seems to be waning of religious consciousness m the young people. In the aftermath of the war they have seemed to lose sight of things that were taught them by their mothers; their minds have been groping Tor some solid spiritual truth. In my work at the college I have been asked many questions, very frequent among them is the question 'Is there an after life?" and "Is there such a thing as God and immortality"
 When these young people begin asking such questions as these it is time for a revision. Many have the idea about IGod that used to be displayed in the school room The eyes of God are in ev- cry corner" recently heard at meeting the question asked, When and Where is God? This was answered by a noted theologian when he said God is the stream of life; God is the smile of the child God is in the shining eye of the youth; God Is the strength of him who goes through life sharing the bur
 dens of others God is that friend who does not fOrsake you when all others
 have; God is the all pervasive spirit that
 nows through this universe. Our friends are waiting for us to reveal to them
 he spirit of God and it is the women the mothers of the home, the home
 makers who will do this.
 Woman is a person of peace and when
 we still see the dripping claws of nrili-
 tarism menacing the. world we do mol wonder that she is afraid. Mothers did l not raise their boys for war and have l net watched them grow to give then 1 to the hideous monster of war We read
 that 6s per cent of the income of ths 1 United States Is used for past and flu ture wars while only 1 per cent. zoe. i for education. I do not advocate dis | Nrmament for I believe there are som,
 times when it is necessary but wome1 should use their right to make war un
 pecessary. They should use their in
 fuence against this great curse.
 l It would be good thing if the par
 ents of today should have the firm oIt
 standards that their fathers and moth CTS taught them. Would our parent

 I Dr. Marshall was given a very heart vote of appreciation for his talk.

BROoDK HENS MAKE CUT
 IN gT0RRs EGG YIELD

Too many broody hens have the same effect on high egg records that too many cooks have on a pie. According to the laying contest standards, which are worked out from records collected for now nearly ten years, the highest weekly production should come in the week now being reported. This is not true. how ever, for the twent weight week this year because too many of the hens among the heavy breeds let their maternity instincts get the best of them. They were thinking too much about breeding chicks and too little about laying eggs In con seqaenee the. total yield of 4401 eggs during the twenty eighth week was 1l8 less< than the average for the last six years. This is an egg yield of nearly s9 per cent. as compared wi9h ;ah ex- pected production of nearly *65 per cent.
 Another effect of the slow down among the American varieties was to let the Legherns get away with about everything in sight. First place for the week went to Mountain View Poultry Farms pen of White Leghorns from Geneva, N r., with a yield Of 5e esxs. The following four pens of the same breed all tied for second place with a production of 57 eggs each: Andrew L. Chr of Walling-
  to, N. J., White Springs Farm, Gene va, N. Y, and Hollywood Farm, Holly wood. Washington. Five additional pens of White Leghorns tied for third place with score Of 56 eggs for the week, namely three Conn ecticut pens entered by The Goshen Poultry club of Goshen Ernest H. Scott of Trarmington and Mrs J. l.. Theusen of New Haven, Conn. also InEperial Poultry Farm from Eliz- abeth, N. J., and !. T. Ramage of Tenn pie. Texas, Poneerest Orchards pen oi Reds from Groton. Conn, managed to tie with Emory H. Bartlett's Iseghorns oi Enfield, Mass. for fourth place. Each pen finished the week with a yield ot 55 eggs.
 The four leading pens in each of the principal varieties are as follows:
