LEAGUE OF WOMEN
VOTERS HEAR OFFICIAL
SOCIAL HYGIENE BOARD

Pian," was the subject of a talk
given by Miss Mary E. Driscoll, dis
trict supervisor of the United States
Interdepartmental Social Hygiene
Board at meeting of the Augusta
League of Women Voters which was
held Tuesday evening at The "Y" as
sembly hall.
Miss Driscoil in her talk spoke of
the great field which was open to
women trained in social work who.
to get the best results should work
with the police. She said that she
believed that there should be a
woman's organization i'll every police
department operating under the
supervision of a trained woman social
worker
An organization such as this
would have supervision of dance
halls, moving picture houses. skat'
ink Kinks and other places of amuse-
n.ent. The police woman would WALL
the streets wherever the bright light:
were calling to young women ant
girls and see that she is apprehend
ed. These police women would als'
help in the apprehension of the i'm
moral woman and in helping thes'
| women. They would make those in
terviews with women in which s.
often there must be discussions of .
private nature and watch for thos
girls who are lost to return them t
their homes whenever possible.
The meeting was opened by til
| president, Mrs. Herbert Merrill an,
a short business meeting was frs
held. The question of the primar
law and its good and bad points wa
| discussed by the ladies and 4 brie
discussion of the address by Mis-
| Driscoll was held sprcvious to tn
| close of the meeting.

PARCEL POST SERVICE NOW
BEING OPERATED AT LOSS;
RATES MAY BE INCREASED

The question of parcel post rates is
engaging the serious attention of the
Postoflce Department as well as that
of the Budget Bureau. There is no
doubt at present but that the parcel
post division of the postal service is
operating at a tremendous deficit. 1t
could not be otherwise. Parcel post
service was instituted January l, 1913,
and rates then fixed are still opera
tive. At that time the parcel post bus
mess comprised less than 5 per cent
of all mail handled: now it comprises
more than go per cent. This tremend-
GUS increase in quantity has pushed
up the amount of money paid to rail-
roads for hauling the mails; it has ne
cessitated a tremendous increase in
personnel of the PostOfice Department
and an even greater proportionate in
crease in equipment necessary for the
local delivery of parcel post. Due to
the increase in parcel post business
the Postofice Department is able to
trace directly an increase of $780,
900, 900 in it's annual budget.
In order to wipe out the deficit of

Secretary Laying Competitions
High temperatures ordinarily are not
good for egg production, and yet the
birds in the Eleventh Philadelphia
North American International Egg-Lay-
ing Competition made q slight gain in
aggregate production for the thirty
second week and several pens made
additions to their totals.
Because OF the high temperatures
three birds suceumbei to sunstroke,
several affected birds were brought
around in good shape. but as is always
the case some deaths Wall occur and
It is impossible to avoid such cases.
Most Of the high pens produced at
q greater rate than in the preceding
week, and several pens ran over their
previous weeks output.
Pen q gained one egg and increased
its lead for first place to four eggs, its
total standing at 675 eggs against its
followers 671 eggs, pen 3. With
these two pens holding lead of
hfty-eight and fifty-four eggs over
third pen, No. %, the margin is COM
Portable to high degree and will be
maintained against all scorers for
some weeks unless unlooked-for in
reference or adversely upsets the pres
ent rate of production.
Third pen, with it's total of GIT eggs,
holds a fair lead over fourth pen, No.
IS, whose total is $50. Fifth pen, No.
s, is making a rapid dash upward,
and its ascent into fifth place is
two-step performance since last
week, it's output of twenty-sight eggs

two birds are in opposite sections and

MOVE TO BRING POULTRY ;

to bring the 1928 annual convention

Just how far the utility men in
this section will aid is highly prob
lematical-the active fanciers in the
territory around this city will not
respond to heavy financial demands
inst how much influence this pro-
posed convention will exert on local
noultrymen is not known, but super
ficially it does not appear that con-
vention politics will be entrancingly
attractive.
