out of the conference would come an
agreement which would solve a prob

the ablest statesman of the British
nation.
London newspapers today did not
assume that a settlement was certain
and they recognized the way to peace
might be long and difficult. but hope
abounded. even If complete confidence
was lacking.
Prime Minister Lloyd George re-
ceiyed praise in some quarters for
his skill and patience in handling the
troublesome preliminaries, and there
was hope expressed that his ability in

declared, "have already disclosed that.

past experiences"
The Daily Chronicle, which is re-

CARNEGIE HEN CROWS,

Cold Spring Harbor. l.. l., Oct.
IA barnyard scandal of far
reaching import was discovered
here yesterday in the hennery
of the Carnegie institution.
A rooster, whose crows have
sent thrills through many of the
frying size hens, was found to
be snare and a delusion. He
lays eggs. This may seem
strange. but it is all explained
by the Carnegie scientists who
have been studying evolution
in the barnyard.
In their experiments they
transferred the garb of a roos-
ter TO a hen and vice versa. So
far the unhappy victims are
the chanticleer that lays eggs
and the hen that crows at dawn.

In Wilmington the gust lasted about
twenty minutes, but over a half inch
of rain fell in that short time. which
is about as hard and fast as II ever

This brought the record for the
month up 3.04 inches, which is near
~ the normal monthly average. al
though in 1920 September showed 4ss
inches, and August 1921 showed 6.45
inches.
The gale was westerly one. and
blew the rain in sheets from that
quarter, flooding, as usual in such
storms, the entrance vestibules of the
Public Building facing King street.
and also of some of the large build
ings on the east side OF Market street.
The tightness of show cases was
tested, too; few of them proving
weather proof. Hat brims drippin.-
water were noted in one wall case on
Market street after the rainfall had
ceased. If the demonstration had
been one OF waterproof shoes, il would
have seemed very appropriate, but not
for hats.

of the sewers.
