MRS. ALICE ORR IS
C0MPLIMENTED BY
/ PRESIDENT HARDING
Sister Of Mr.. Chas. Dobyns, Of this
City, Who Has Taught School for
Fifty Years Received Letter
From President.

The following from the Birmingham
Age-Herald will interest many trends
Of Mrs. Orr, who is a sister OF Mr.. C..
c. Dobyns, Of the Limestone Lumber
Company:
One OF the most graceful compli-
ments which President Harding has
paid to any one in Birmingham is the
letter which was received yesterday
by Mrs. Alice d. Orr, beloved Bir-
mingham teacher.
On the memorable occasion when
President and Mrs. Harding were the
guests of Birmingham, when the great
semi-centennial celebration was In
progress, Mrs. Orr was also celebrat-
ing her semi-centennial as a teacher
and on that occasion when The Age
Herald presented in its semi-centen-
NAL edition the front page of the
Presidents own paper, the Marion
Star, printed in full on its front page
It also contained a story by Dolly Dal-
rymple, recounting the so years OF
service that Mrs. Orr had given to
teaching.
The President expressed himself
during his visit as being delighted
with the cleverness and the prgross-
iveness of The Age-Herald in repro
ducing his own home paper, and he
evidently commended other features
of the paper at that time also, one OF
which was Dolly Dalrymple's story
about Mrs. Orr.
The Presidents letter, received yes,
terday by Mrs. Orr, verifies this, for
he was pleasantly enough impressed
with the Dolly Dalrymple story, which
recounted the splendid achievements
of Mrs. Orr, now in her seventy-ninth
year, to take the time to write Mrs
Orr a most gracious letter, which fol-
lows:
THE WHITE HOUSE

gratulate you, and to thank you for

POULTRY BLOCKS
TEST EGGS AT LEAST TWICE
Make Inspection on Seventh and Four teenth Days for Those Infertile '
 or With Dead Germs

Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture)
 It is of little profit for a hen to sit patiently for 21 days if the eggs over which she fiuffs her feathers are in- fertile or if the germs in them have died. Neither does it pay to run an incubator for three weeks, with it's at tendant care and expense, if the eggs in 1t are not fertile.
 All poultry owners who raise chicks should be thoroughly familiar with the method of testing eggs An egg, whether 1t is fertile or not, has a small grayish spot, known as the germinal spot, on the surface of the yolk. As soon as a fertile egg is placed under hen or in an incubator the develop ment of the germ begins. All eggs should be tested at least twice during the incubation period, say poultry spe- ciahsts of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. This is done preferably on the seventh and four teenth days. The infertile eggs. and

DRIVERS CAN IMPROVE ROADS
Wear to Surface Gan Be Prevented by Driving Over Middle and Other
 Less Used Parts

Drivers can prevent wear to the surfaces of the roads and even inn prove their condition if instead of driving in one track or on the edge of the road they will drive over the middle and other less used parts of the road when traffic permits. The one thing that is fatal above all things to road surfaces, whether dirt or paved is driving in tracks, which subjects one small part Of the road surface to all the traffic and damage that the whole road accommodates. Traffic should be evenly distributed over the entire surface of the road, and little thoughtfulness and care in this respect on the part of driv- CTS will do much to add to the per manence and excellence of our road ways.

Testing Egg by Use of Metal Chimney Tester.
 those with dead germs, should then be removed. White-shen eggs can be
 tested on the fourth or fifth day, whereas the development of eggs hav-
 ing brown shells often can not be seen by the use Of the ordinary egE tester
 until the seventh day.
 A satisfactory homemade egg tester
 or candler can be made with a shoe
 box or any other box large enough to
 hold the lamp. Cut a hole a little
 larger than a 25-cent piece in the side
 of the box, so that when the lamp Is
 placed inside the box the hole in the
 side will be opposite the flame. Make
 a hole also in the top of the box large
 enough to prevent the top from catch
 ing fire from the heat of the lamp.
 When the chimney Is long enough, al- low 1t to extend through the top of the box. This permits the heat to es-
 cape and avoids the risk of fire. Spe- cial care should always be exercised in using kerosene lamps in candling to prevent fire To prevent further possibility of fire, a wooden box may be used in place of a pasteboard one, and, if desired. the opening through which the chimney extends may be lined with tin or asbestos.
 Electric or gas lamps may be used in a box with hole in the same way that the kerosene lamp Is used. The hole which is in the side of the box should be on the same level as the light. The eggs may also be tested by sunlight or daylight, using a shade or curtain with a hole in 1t for the light to shine through
 Testing with a tester or candler | should be done in a dark room Hold l each egg with the large end up. so that | the size of the air cell may be seen, as well as the condition of the embryo | or germ. An infertile egg when can dled looks perfectly clear, the same as a fresh one; while a fertile egg shows a dark spot known as the em- bryo, with a mass of little blood veins | radiating in all directions. When the germ Is dead, and the egg has been ncubated for at least 4S hours, the blood settles away from the embryo toward the edges of the yolk, forming n some cases an irregular circle of blood, known as a blood ring. Eggs | 7ary in this respect, some showing ,nly streak of blood.
 All infertile eggs, and those with lead germs. should be removed at the md of the first test. Eggs with dead ,erms soon decay and give off a bad 'dor if allowed to remain. The infer tle eggs make good feed for young hickens.
 At the second test, on the fourteenth lay, the eggs containing strong, living mbryos will be dark and well filled ID, showing a clear, sharp, distinct he between the air cell and the grow ng embryo, while eggs with dead erms will show only partial develop aent and lack this clear, distinct out ne.

Since such an ideal condition is practically impossible, road engineers recognize that all factors which increase or reduce the impact of a load are of the utmost impor- tance in planning highway construc- ton and regulation.
 The placing of the larger part of the load on the rear axle is only one Of several factors which lead to high inn pact forces. In general, the in- creased speed Of the truck will in- crease the impact, hence the necessity for keeping the operating speed within reasonable limits. Roads kept as smooth as possible by careful main tenance will reduce the possibility ot trucks exerting impact and pressure forces upon the highway surface. Cush- ion or pneumatic tires also reduce impact and cause less damage to the highways than those of hard rubber, especially if the latter are not kept in good repair.
