King George of England recently
jntimated rather broadly, that he
meant soon to abolish the post Of Poet
laureate, which has existed from
EllzabethaR days, Ben Jonson having
been the first incumbent In this office,
which seems to have been an out
growth and an elaboration of the sim
pier Office of court Jester, says the
Philadelphia Record. There does
seem to be little reason for the con-
tinuance of this tradition. Tenny-
son filed the post with fair accept
ability, but his immediate successor,
Alfred Austin, was a good deal of a
joke, and the present incumbent, the
venerable Robert Bridges. now acting
as a sort of exchange professor of
poetry at the University of Michigan,
has done little to earn the small emolu-
ments paid to him by the crown. The
democratization of Britain may well
include the abolition of the old-fash.

GERMAN LOOTER JAILED

Captain Hugo Nugenbom is in prison.
He was sentenced to five years for
lootlng during the war. The captain,
who commanded an infantry company
in the German army during the war,
settled in Zurich afterwards. Lately
when he was in France he was ar
rested and sentenced. 1t was proven
that he had a truck assigned to himself
In which he placed paintings and other
art objects from churches and valua-
bles stolen from the inhabitants of
LaOn, Saint Quentin and nearby vii
lagea. The strange feature about these
German lOOtings was that the fellows
who carried the treasures away were
generally in the so-called "superman"
class, which despises Latin art and
culture, says the Atlanta Constitution.
Why then did they not leave things
alone? The barbarian Goths carried
away the priceless pieces of sculpture
from Rome in the early centuries.
Once across the Danube they chopped
off the marble arms because the
statues were so cumbersome; later
they placed them in semi-circular form
at their tribe meetings in the open
clearing.

cULLlNG THE POULTRY FLOCK

A short time ago a discussion of
moult in the culling of the flock was
given. Another consideration. which
is perhaps the most important of all,
is that of conformation or body form.
We know that it is true that the form
of an animal has much to do with its
function or purpose. We do not use
a race horse to do our draft work nor
do we use a dairy COW to produce
beet. And so we will want a bird
which is formed in such a way that It
will meet the purpose for which we
are keeping it, In the present dis
cussion the production Of eggs is the
important thing and therefore we will
want to determine the conformation
that is best suited to this function.
The body Of a laying hen must first
of all be long and deep. Width is not
so desirable because this is associat-
ed with a more phlegmatic disposition
and tendency to produce gesh. But
a deep long body gives ample room
for the vital organs and for the manu-.
facture Of eggs. The neck should be
OF moderate length and strongly car.
ried. The head should be Of moderate
length. wide and deep from top to
bottom. The beak should be short and
strong and slightly curved A long
beak and a long, narrow head Indicate
a lack Of constitutional vigor. so
necessary in a continued production

The eyes Of the bird should be large.

LOSES HIS DRIVERS LICENSE
Captain Morris Fined 500 and Costs
After Crash ON Canal Bridge

Captain Thomas +. Morris, Of Bow
ers Beach, wrecked his new Star sedan
was fined 500 and had his license re
voked by Magistrate NintOn, Thurs
day afternoon after he had run into
a Ford car driven by J. E. McCloskey
of Wilmington, on the draw-bridge
over the canal at st. Georges. Cap
tain Morris was or his way down the
state and Mr.. McCloskey was going
toward Wilmington when the accident
occurred. He was on the bridge at
the time and Captain Morris is said
to have started across in the opposite
4 direction. Both cars were damaged
considerably, but neither occupants
was injured. The railing Of the bridge
] was damaged also. Captain Morris
appeared to be under the influence of
liquor at the time so Magistrate Vim
ton had him taken over to the hospital
at Fort DUPONT for an examination.
The report was that he was slightly
affected by what he had been drink
ing. Magistrate VintOn then fined
him 500, revoked his driving license,
and ordered him to pay the cost of
the repairs to McCloskey's car and
also to the bridge railing. A new
government ruling has been put into
effect regarding the railing on the
canal bridge. The man who does the
damage must pay the cost of the re-
pairs to the bridge. This action was
taken because of the numerous pre-
ventable accidents on the bridge at
st. Georges of late.
