 This building has many memories, but I trust in the opinion of the Daughters of the American Revolution | 1t is invested with a special sanctity and with a most precious memory. be- cause here the spirit of democracy which they desire to see supreme has been evidenced in UT collaboration as representatives of great peoples, in order that we may have in place of worse than fruitless competition a | generous cooperation expressive not of sinister ambitions but of that true ] spirit which we, as representatives 1 have sought here to evince, because whatever governments want, the peo- pies of the earth want justice. peace and security"
 Mrs. Minor had presented the con- ference with a gavel which hads been
 used at all the committee and plena-
 ry meetings, and which was then re-
 turned to her and Is amongst the pres

a big Havana cigar half or three-quar- ters way through with the ash intact
 But what most cigar smokers fail to realize is that this is the test of a well-manufactured cigar and not nec- essarily of the tobacco in 1t. It depends upon the length and neat arrangement Of the filling leaf. A well made, com pact cigar has greated consistency than a badly put together one. But its doet not follow that the tobacco is better, a tobacco expert writes.
 A surer test is when the ash Is flick ed off. The glowing point should bt sharp. The sharper the point the bet ter the cigar.
 As regards the ash, it is a common fallacy that white ash is a sign of 6 fine, and dark ash the sign of an in- ferior leaf The real truth is that the color depends upon the strength of the tobacco.
 A very mild and cheap cigar will give a pure white ash. The finest Ha- vana of ripe strength produces a black ish ash. It does not follow that cigar which burns imperfectly is bad tobao- co. You may have lighted it badly or it may be clumsily made.

STORES HENS LAY AT
 45 PER CENT RAT FOR WEEK


 During the fifteenth week of the egg laying contest at Storrs the total produc- tion for all pens amounted to 3,176 ezsrs or a yield of a little more than 5 taer cent This weeks lay was over 559 eggs better than the average of the same period Tor the last sevent years. H. E. Dennison's pen of Barred Rocks from East Lansing was at the top of the list with score of 52 eggs. Woodbridge Orchards pen of White Wyandottes from Wood bridge, Conn. was second best pen with a mark of 50 eggs. The English pen of White Wyandottes entered by Waiter Bradbury from Torrington. pen of White Rocks entered by Albert T. Lenzen from North Attleboro, Mass, and two pens of White Leghorns owned by A. P Robinson from Calverton N. Y., and Exmoo1 Farms at Lebanon, Pa., all tied for third place with 47 eggs each. Three ether pens of White Leghorns owned by E. H. Scott from Pennington, Conn.,, Beck Egg farm at Woodcliff Lake, N. j., and j. Frank Dubois of Peacham, Vt, tied for fourth place with pen of Rhode Island Reds owned by Pinecrest Orchards at Groton, Mass. Each pen laid 45 eggs
 Up until this time the Rocks, Reds and Wyandottes have laid more than their pro rata shares of the total egg yield. The Leghorns constitute 40 per cent of the birds entered in the contest but up to the middle of February they have laid only 36 per cent. of the eggs From this time on however the Legnorns are expected to gain on the heavier breeds. They are en- afbled to do this because the average Leg horn loses only four or frye days a year on al1-lmnt of lbraodinesS whereas Rocks. and Wyondottes will run up nearly thirty days a year and average Rhode Island Red vii Hose nearly forty days. The man agement estimates that during the com ing spring and summer all the birds in the contest taken together will be broody 2 900 times. So lar IS laying is concerned these hens will be on strike for a period of nearly sixty "hen years" In the lay | ing contest a hen year means 160 eggs or the number that each hen is expected to lay during her stay at Storrs. Thus il can be seen that broodiress is a rather ex- pensive diversion. These hens laying al the average rafe would produce nearly 1O. 900 eggs curing the time that is spent in the lbroody coops
 The four leading pens in each Of the principal breeds are as follows: Plymouth Rocks.
