HOLLYWOOD LEGHoRNs HOLD
 LEAD OVER WYANDOTTEs

The Leghorns from Hollywood, Wash, that grabbed the lead away from the Wyaadottes last week, have strengthened their position. Last week they added eggs to their lead, putting them Il eggs ahead of the next nearest contender, pen of White Wyandottes from Davis vile, R, I. Both of these pens of 10 birds each have laid we'll above the 2,000 eggs and during the 18th week pen of Barred Rocks from Westhanpton Beach, L. l., qualified for this enviable class in which every individual hen in the pen has aver aged to lay over 200 eggs since the con test started
 Barred Rock hen No. 2s from Guelph, Ont, will without doubt be the outstand- ing individual when this contest ends She laid seven eggs last week, bringing her total up to 279 eggs for the year, If she can come through with 21 eggs in the next 2S days she will be a 300 egg hen On the average perhaps not one hen in I 10. 900 ever reaches this record Since this hen laid 28 eggs in September and S1 in August, there are excellent pros- poets that she will make top notch rec ] ord.
 During the 18th week all the hens in the contest laid 2,472 eggs. or yield of a | little more than 35 per cent A pen ot
 
 Dyersbury, Tenn, was the best pen fol the week with a score of 45 eggs Holly. wood Farms pen of White Leghorns wal second best pen for the week with yield of AZ eggs.

NORWICH ARREST TABLE
 VARIES WITH PROHIBITION

74
 This is the first of series of articles on the results of prohibition in Norwich which will be published in the official or- gan of the Anti-Saioon league will say:
 The police force in Norwich is only one-half as busy aTresting law-breakers as it was before prohibition came to close the breeding places Of crtme-the open saloon. If the total arrests for 1922 are at the same rate as the first six months, then only 43 per cent. as many persons will have come into the clutches of the law as did in 1918, the last ~wet" year. Arrests for drunkenness are 37 per cent the total for 1918 and commerctalized sex offenses are less than 10 per cent. as many as 1918 knew.
 In common with most communities, the number of arrests in Norwich steadily increased through the years This seem- ed the. normal thing to happen. The city was growing Nearly onezfourth of the population was of foreign birth. Nobody was disturbed greatly. even when the total number of arrests advanced from 1850 in 1916 and 1,672 in 1917 to 2,233 in 1918 It was not noted that this latest figure showed that the arrests were just one-tenth of the city's population. One person out of every ten "in the lock-up.' 5 Respect for law, loyalty to established institutions, self respect-gone in one tenth of the population of Norwich, the Rose of New England? No. not quite that bad Quite a number, doubtless, were repeaters or recidiviSts, as penolo- gists love to term them But 1t was bad enough. Only nobody noticed it. It was a normal thing in thoee good old days when a man could get a drink
 Then something happened. The some thing was wartime prohibition It ar- rived July 1, 1919. You could almost tell just when it came by looking at Norwich police statistics. In the first half of that year, the wet half. there were 7e5 ar- rests for all charges; 356 arrests for drunkermess, 15S arrests for breach of the peace, and P arrests for charges in- Volyiug the connsezciaiization of sex Tn the last or "dry' half of the year there were 420 arrests, of which Ill were for

drunkenness. ST for breach of the peace and 5 for sex offenses
 The year 1920 showed comeback" !" There was no state law The police lack cd authority to act Illicit selling went on as elsewhere and the poaicA blotter told sthe story-as 1t usually does. But even with this increase over the records of the previous year, 1920 with it's trace nf motstness fell far below the records of the wet" years for many years back. Only 1,2a7 persons fell into the hands of the law on all charges-a thousand fewer than met this fate in wet 1918, while the number of drunks were a third of the former number.
 In 1921 the state enforcement act was passed, not becoming a law. however, un- til the fall. In this year violations of law decreased stin more, the total arrests being 1.oS6, of which 325 were for drunk enness, 160 for breach of the peace, and | 21 for sex offenses. The year 1922, in it's first six months, had total of 4S2 arrests, classified thus Drunkenness 1S2, breach of the peace s3, sex 6.
 Norwich Is rapidly cutting down her | criminal record. From figure equal to one-tenth of the population arrested year. l ly. as was the case in the last 'twet" year, l 1918, she now incarcerates only per
 
 cent of her population yearly. That sounds rather high but it means that to- day less than three persons are arrested daily on all charges, that the arrests for drunkenness thus far this year have been less than one per day and that breaches
 of the peace (usualfy involving at least
 two personO now occur less than twice q l week.
 Liquor is being Sold in Norwich. Some body must be making it and disposing ot h. or the city could not maintain it's rec
 ord Of one drunken man arrested nearly every day. Last year there were Ill ar. | rests made by Norwich police for viola | ton of the liquor law. Considering the I short time there was a liquor law to en. force, this looks like rather good work In the first half of 1922, Is persons were 1 arrested on this charge. l The following is the schedule of arrest, In Nnrvrfch.

 Due to custom followed yearly by the sophomore class at Connecticut college at New London. the class of 1925 assembled in the college gymnasium last Saturday night for the purpose of initiating the members of the class of 1926.

 Members of the class of 1926: It has come to our ears, by devious ways, that certain members of your class seek to lower our morale and cast approbation upon our reverend alma mater.
 Attend. oh ye freshmen, unto my words, for they be of deep importance. It has been said Whom the Lord loyeth, He chasteneth.'

 This is the season for the taking out of hunters licenses, of which Town Clerk Charles IS. HoIbrook has already issued about 200. As 1t is now required by law that the applicant shall appear in person to get the license. Town Clerk HoIbrook proposes to accommodate workers who could not come in the day time by keeping his office open Satur- day evening of this week to issue hunt ing licenses. <

This Is the only Saturday night that the hunters can get their lf- censes as the town clerk will be busy making voters on the two following Sat- urday nights.
 There is a coupon on the license this year which gives report on the game secured which the hunter Is required tc fill out and return to the town clerk or the first of January.
