Y. P. B. BANQUET

On Friday evening, January 22nd
the chapel was the scene of a most
festive gathering when the members
of the w. C. T. U. made possible the
banquet, which the girls of the Y.
P. B. gave in honor of their Nation
al General Secretary, Mrs. Maude
Perkins.
After a social hour the chairman,
Mrs. George T. Macklin asked the
guests to find their place cards and
there be seated. Words of greeting
were most fittingly and graciOusly
spoken by the president of the local
Y. P. B., Miss Hedvig E. Matthews.
Mrs. D. w. Jacobs rendered beauti-
fully Carrie Jacobs-Bond's song,
"The Hand of You"
A delicious menu prepared by the
members of the w. C. T. U. and
served by the young people delighted
the appetite of all, and some eighty
guests were seated.
Mrs. George Macklin, acting as
toastmistress, introduced the gen.
eral secretary of the State Y. P. B.,
Mrs. Bertha McCauley Foster; the
president of the State Federation of
Y. P. B., Mrs. Hugh Morrison; the
state president of the w. c. T. U.,
Mrs. M. Evelyn Killen and the
speaker of the evening, Mrs. Maude
Perkins.
Mrs. D. w. Jacobs sang, "It is in
the Constitution and It's There,
There to Stay" The guests united
in the chorus and made the words
ring.
The guests all agreed as they left
the festive board that the Y. P. B..
banquet had been a great success.
The following day group of our
local workers went to Dover to at
tend the all day session of the Y. P.
B. School of Methods conducted by
the same group Of officials who had
attended the banquet here. This
school was held in the Peoples

it's Alpine scenery and legends, was
his principal subject; the mighty
Alps in their silent dignity; placid
lakes and waterfalls lent their
charm to the wonders of nature,
while the wonders of architecture
and art as shown in the magnificent
cathedrals and inspired paintings
were shown and graphically de-
scribed.
Particularly interesting was his
vivid description of the original
painting, "The Last Supper" by
Leonardo da Vinci, 1496-9S, and is
in the Church of Santa Maria delle
Grazie, Milan. He spoke feelingly
of it's force of conception; har-
mony of details and delicacy of
touch which makes it among the
finest works ever painted.
Next Monday, Mrs. H. D. Boyer, of
Smyrna, will lecture on "Citizen-
ship" Mrs. Boyer is well known in
Milford, for she has given other lee
lures here and it is hoped she will
be greeted by a good audience.

HENS START EGG
INCREASE IN TEST
Better Production Follows Long
Slump in Yields Which Af-
fected Many Sections
COAL FOR INCUBAToRS
BY F. v. TURNER

Another seven days of anxious watt
ing for better yields shows a sliElt
increase in output for the eleventh
week of the fifteenth International Egg
Laying Competition at Milford, Della
ware; any increase is an indication that
the conditions controlling egg output
is better and that a real promise is
now made for still further improve
ment.
Last week pens So and 81 were tied
for first place-pen SS broke the tie
this week, producing nineteen eggs
against eighteen for pen 81. These
scores were decidedly lower than scores
made last week and do not furnish
any evidence of what the pens are
capable of. With improvement of con-
ditions, which is now on the way, very
much better scores will follow and
there will be a different story to tell
later.
There are several pens in the Off
ing that are showing now that they
are only awaiting better conditions
to make scores out of the ordinary
these pens are going to cause some
close figuring later.
Actual ability to lay has had very
little chance to display itself up to
the present moment and it is the opin-
ion of those concerned in the opera
tiOn of the competition that several
exceptional scores will result from the
present competition.
Delaware as a state, through its
poultry department, reports egg produc-
tiOn as subnormal with practically the
same conditions on commercial plants
as are encountered at the competition.
Similar conditions have obtained in
other years; fortunately these years
of low winter production are rare and
in the history of such years there has
usually been a comeback later in the
season that more than compensated for
early losses.
High pen production reached twenty
four eggs and a greater number of
pens this week laid more than twenty
eggs than did last week two birds made
perfect scores in the present week
against none last week.
The Observant will notice a gradual
pulling together of several pens near

the table. When the expression "2h"
appears it means that two fingers can
be placed between the edge of the pelvic
or laying bones, as they appear through
slight pressure made by the fingers.
Thin or thick pelvic bones are recog-
nizable as Indicative Of high and low
capacity, coupled with the distance be-
tween the pelvic bones and the end *
the keel, or breastbone, which also
is expressed "2F''O or "41AF," etc.

LARGE CATCH OF ROCK FISH

hauled their seine near the Mispil-

SO large rock fish ranging from IA
inches to SO inches in length. The
second haul of the seine yielded 20
more. They sent them to the Phil

require thOroughness.

the top, pens above fifteenth place;
just what this means, if the pens hold
as they now promise to do, there is
going to be some mighty interesting
situations after the spring rush is over
and the birds settle either into a steady
stride or go into an early molt.
In connection with this matter of
better yields later, it must be remarked
by all those who have followed egg
laying competitions for even few
years that few competition years have
shown so many pens with scores close
together. There are now more pens
in the list of more than one hundred
and fifty than is usual so early in the
competition. Whether or not so many
pens would be in this list if the more
fecund were duplicating scores of last
year is a question; but, nOtwithstand-
ing that guess, there is certainly some
thing back of such a big collection of
pens that are only awaiting, evidently,
the urge to go at a higher rate. The
answer will, of course, be found in the
return of the birds to normal produc-
ton.
Coal and EncUbatOrS
While there is no prospect of early
delivery of coal for any purpose there
does not seem to be a single case re-
ported to this department of inability
to operate incubatOrs as usual.
Every hatchery has long since made
all provisions for fuel that would give
satisfactory matches; oil, coke, gas,
bituminOus or semi bituminous Goals
have been secured and there is no pos
sible chance of failure to hatch where
