THE HOSPITAL.

The attention OF the women Of ths
city Ia called to the notice OF the an
nuai tea OF the women's hospital
board TO be given tomorrow after
noon. All women OF New Britain are
asked TO attend.
This comment Is made not for the
purpose OF boosting the hospital
or the function. but rather for the
purpose OF encouraging a more thor
ough understanding of the hospital
and It's work by the women OF the
city and OF urging that this affair
would give a splendid chance for the
women OF the city to make such In
formal suggestions as they think nee
essary.
In order TO be the success II should
be the hospital should have the thor
ough backing OF the women OF the
city. II they have criticisms to make
they should be made 10 the people
who can correct errors, II errors there
are. II there Is any misunderstood
ing OF the methods of the hospital
every effort should be made to clear
up such misunderstanding
The way to bring the greatest sue
cess to the activities of any city in
stitution Is to have a universal UNI
derstanding Of 1t. Recently there was
drive for membership conducted by
interested and unselfish women in or
der to bring all the women OF the city
in closer touch with its affairs. There
were many interviews between the
women making this drive and women
who have never besn personally inter-
ested in the hospital affairs. There
was much misconception of the aims
of the hospital authorities disclosed.
Such misconceptions should be cor
rected or. If they proved to be other
than misconceptions. the reason for
them should be explained.
Just as long as the great majority
of the women of the city keep them
selves aloof from the hospital the in
stitution's full benefits to the people /
of the city can not be realized. Co.
operation of all the women Of the city |
would bring splendid results. 1t is |
that cooperation that Is desired and |
it is to try to help along the move
ment for such cooperation that this
comment is made.
The annual tea this year should be
more popularity attended than any in
the hospitals history and from it
should come the prospect of better
results for the benefit of the people.
of the hospital, grateful wom-
en- who have been treated there, and
women who believe they have reason
to criticize something about the hos
pital should attend this tea and work
for a unity of feeling that will be of
lasting benefit to the people of the
city.

'Zactly Right.

A travelling salesman from the
north, while spending few days In
Atlanta recently, on business, decided
he would like to try little Of the To-
cal moonshine, about which he had
heard so much. With very little DIFF
ficulty he secured pint Of the white
lightning and retired to his room to
sample 1t. One taste was enough. It
was a particularly villainous decoc-
ton. He did not care to throw It
away, so he presented 1t to an old
dark who had been driving him about
the city.
The next day he asked the old ne
gro how he liked the liquor.
Boss, It was 'zactly right Yes,
sub 1T was JUS 'zactly right"
"Well, subj" said the darkey, ut
was just 'zactly right, cause IL II

Wallace Outlines Plan of
National Systen of Roads

In an address upon the subject of
public highways delivered before the
American Automobile Association,
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace re-
Gently gave some very interesting
facts and figures in connection with
the operation Of the federal road act.
Among other interesting data furnish
ed by Secretary Wallace in the course
Of his remarks were the following:
"The designation and approval of
the Federal Aid Highway System I'M
der the act of 1921 is progressing rap
idly. BY the end of the summer ap-
proximately $4,000 miles will have
been designated as part of this sys-
TEN. Up to May all but three states
had submitted tentative systems for
approval. The systems of thirty-three
states had been formally approved,
including total of los, 4O6 miles.
Considering the approved systems
in the thirty-three states we find that
of the LOIS cities of 5000 or more
population in these states, $50 of them
lie directly on the approved system,
and there is not one but will be con-
nected with the system by an i'm
proved state or county road. When the
system is completed, therefore, one
will be able to travel from any town
of 5000 population or greater to any
other town of the same population
without leaving an improved road.
1.-THE detailed study of the available
ity of the improved roads to the total
population has not been completed,
but If we take typical states in the
East, Middle West and West, we find
that the roads on the Federal Aid
system will give maximum service.
In Maryland not further than 2h per
cent of the population lives further
than ten miles from federal aid
road; in Indiana less than 1 per cent;
in Arizona, where the total popula-
tion is but $4,000 perhaps one-third
will live outside Of the ten-mile zone.
"a federal aid road will cross the
western mountains at practically every
one Of the important passes.

cluded in the federal aid system. the

TRAP HELPS
IN EGG PRODUCTION
West Coast Poultrymen Find 1t Worth
Far More Than, Cost in Actual
Results.

Though it takes one dollar per hen
to find out what hen can do, through
the trapnesting method, M. S. and
E. V. Allyn OF the Laymore Poultry
farm north OF Bellingham told the
crowd attending the recent livestock
tour, that it paid them to spend that
dollar.
The main success Of the poultry
raised on the farm is that they have
records of good laying and maintain
vigorous bodies. The foundation
stock was secured from D. Tancred
and has been trapnested since 1905.
This year there is being trapnested
on Laymore farm 1900 pullets besides
the breeding hens in special pens.
Those pullets which made records
Of IT'S eggs or better are removed
to the breeding houses where they
are given a three months rest from
egg production in order to get into
condition for breeding
Two flock matings are made, one
composed of hens with records Of
It's to 224 eggs and the other of hens
with records of 225 to 249 eggs. Hens
making $50 eggs or better, are mated
to proven mates and housed in small
pens for special pedigree work
1.-THE size Of the egg is of great
Importance" said Mr.. Allyn. ut makes
a difference at times of from 13 to is
cents per dozen in the price of eggs.
Too much emphasis is being placed on
the number of eggs and not enough
on those things whic hdetermine their
market value, such as size, color and
she'll"

chief aim of the states and the federal
agency has been to select routes which
will give the maximum of local SER
vice and at the same time connect
with one another to form a great ma
tional highway system. The states
were first asked to certify the total
mileage of road in existence at the
time the act was passed. Seven per
cent of this was the maximum allow
able mileage that could be included
in the system. The total was 194,262
miles. The states were then asked to
prepare maps Of state systems pro-
posed by them, locating the roads by
controlling points. These state sys-
TENS were carefully reviewed and
studied by the department and some
changes were suggested as being de-
sirable from the national point of
view. Conferences were held between
representatives of the department and
Of states and groups Of states, and
out of these conferences came agree
ment as to the systems finally de-
cided upon.
Federal aid for road building was
inaugurated by the federal aid road
act, approved July II, 1916.
"Since the above date, $4,000, 900
have been appropriated or authorized
for the fiscal years 1917 to 1925 inclu-
sive. OF the above amount, $75,O00,-
900 is authorized for the fiscal year
1926, and will not be available for ex-
penditure until July 1, 1924. Sixty-fve
million dollars is authorized for the
fiscal year beginning July l of this
year, leaving s5O0,O0O,O0O authorized
or appropriated for expenditure up to
the current fiscal year.
"Of the 100000 900 authorized or
appropriated up to the current fiscal
year, $226,274,214 had been paid to
the states for work completed up to
March 81, of which s16O,93S,223 was
paid on projects completed and ac-
cepted, and ss5,SS5,991 had been paid
in progress payments for work COM
pleted on projects which were still
under construction on March 3D..
"The total mileage completed or I'M
