in the heavy section, from Ba4 red
Rocks thru Minorcas, thirty-four pens

nine pens in the heavy class and

small fraction under So per cent.
Wi h warmer weather the lighter
birds will increase production and
the higher percentages will rest with
them.
In all egg-laying competitions in
this country the lighter birds have
never kept pace with the heavier
in the colder months, but they have
always balanced up in the warm half
of the year. A competition in
climate where temperatures from No

reached in Florida would undoubt-
edly turn out an entirely different

termined without actual test.

US. PLANS HOT

BRITAIN
This. Government Will Stana
Firm for Pro Rata Share
In Preparations
CONTINUED from First Page)

CONTINUED from First Page.l
United States has no right to share
in the German Preparations pay
ments until she has proceeded as
far in liquidation Of sequestered
German property as have the other
nations.
Great Britain, for instance, kept
large blocks Of German property In
England and proceeded to use
them to hquidate her own claims
against Germany. paying herself
reparations, In fact.
The United States has not con-
nscated any German property, but
on the contrary still is holding
millions Of dollars worth in trust.
The reply Of the American Gov
eminent to this argument of
Britain's will be that the Versailles
Treaty accorded to each Of the
allies the right Of deciding for itself
what should be done with
seQuestered German property. Great
Britain did as she pleased, and
used much Of it.
Therefore, under the same right
of INSTRUMENTATION, the American
Government cannot see where, in

what is done with German property
in this country. 1t win be pointed
out that this Government raised no
objections to Great Britain's uti-
nzation Of German property to pay
herself reparations. and 1t nowi Ill
becomes the British to raise any
objections regarding Am erica n
policy on the same subject.
While the controversy is some
what keen, and the tone Of the
British note described as firm
there Is every expectation, 1t was
said at the State Department today
that the matter will yield to ad.
justment.
The British note left the door
open for an American reply, and
officials expressed every confidence
today that in the end a mutually
satisfactory solution can be found
as has been the case in every
Anglo-American disagreement since
the war.

"A DAYS

-With Jim RING

1t is always a pleasure to hear
a talk by Doctor William Mather
Lewis, tho president of George
Washington University Our strong
opinion in this matter was
strengthened by a speech he made
TO the Advertising Club yesterday.
Among other things, Doc Lewis
urged the raising Of, a generation
Of inventors.
I've had an invention IN mind
for some time, and some day I'll
make something cut of it, he
said. This is a time-saving loco
motive. Both ends of the loco
motive would run down to the
track Another train, similarly
equipped. coming toward Train
No. /, would simply climb the
front of the locomotive, and pass
over Train No. H.. This would do
away with double tracks. Need
less to say, I haven't worked this
out in detail"
Ye Ed was interested to know,
also. that the learned Doc pro-
nounceS clientele ''clee-en-teil.

we've been saying "cly-en-tesl."
II all luncheon meetings were
as productive as yesterdays, II
wouldn't take fifteen minutes to
bat out this column. For in
stance, there's the story told by
Mr.. Hutchinson. Of the Associated
Ad Clubs of the World. Said he:
"A Sunday school superintend-
ent, afflicted with an uncertain
memory. once addressed his little
subjects. =
In conclusion. looking down
at your happy faces he said, I
am reminded of the words of
that great poet
He paused, frowned.
That great poet he re-
peated. Well, / can't remember
his name now-but that great
poet. who said-who said-chil-
dren, I'm very sorry, but / can't
recall just what he did say""
Rent Commissioner oliver
Metzerott tells US of a quaint
custom of Freehold, N. j.
i was passing through for the
first time" he confided to Ye Ed,
when I saw a long line Of
shabby men in front of the Jail,
I inquired of a friend what they
were doing.
They're waiting to get into
JAIL he told me. Every winter,
according to an old custom. the
town boards exactly 100 hoboes.
The police chief, the jailer ana
the clerk of the court each re-
ceive a fee for each hobo ad-
mitted. Every morning, the buns
are turned out until sunset, when
sthey come around again. You
see, the fee is for admission to
the jail, and there wouldn't be
any sense In keeping them there
If the three officials couldn't
make little bit Of change every
day."
Ye Ed went to see Betty Lee"
at Polls last night, and came
out feeling that the critics hadn't
quite done justice to the play.
Still, we are moved to wonder
why they couldn't make Joe
Browns part little more slap
stick, even though he can get q
laugh out of merely saying No"
