That natural gas furnished much Of the electric
current generated by Texas power plants is shown by
figures from the United States geological survey re-
port for 1929. OF gas alone, Texas utility plants used
38.364,918 cubic feet last year. They used 6l7523 bar

Radio music increases the laying Of hens by fifteen
pei cent. according to experiments conducted on a
Barnegat. N. J., poultry farm. Since the day a loud
speaker was introduced into the henhouse the birds
have been more productive. the proprietor announces.
Whether the hens appreciate the music or are so
disturbed they lose control IS still TO be determined.
The experiment is 10 be pressed to determine
whether the egg industry can look for its best results
through Amos r Andy, the U. s. Navy Band. the
General motors hour, Haywood Brcun, Vincent Lopez
or the Literary Digest program.
Elmer Twitchell, who owns q few chickens but who
has been getting very few eggs, was quick to try the
radio experiment. He announces the following re-
suits:
LILA A
white Leghorn hen, aged / year, 6 months)
Lila May had been a very poor layer. Eggs seemed
the last things on her mind. A loud speaker was put
in the henhouse and after hearing Amos and the
Kingfish in a taxicab office argument she took to the
nest at once. MI. Twitchell chased her off for her
own good and found six eggs and four egg-cups.
ENNIE K
"a Plymouth Rock, aged 2 years.. 3 months. 4 days)
Jennie had been strangely indolent. Life seemed
a bore to her. She was dull and l~istless. She lacked
all sense Of gratitude. Mr.. Twitchell turned on the
radio during the Literary Digest hour and after lis
tening to Mr.. Floyd Gibbons in high gear, Jennie laid
a dozen eggs in full flight and tried to dive for baby
mackerel under the impression she was a seagull.
MOLLY II GREAT
"a wyandotte, aged 2 years. l month, . days.
One egg a day seemed to be Mollie the Greats linn
Il. She heard Graham McNamee describe a boat race
one evening. climbed into az egg-crate while delirious
and filled it in 4 minutes, 10 IL seconds establishing
a new egg-laying record. II there were more boat
races and Mr.. McNamee could describe them all. there
is no telling what Molly could DO for the nation.
PRINCESS PENELOPE
"a Buff Cochin, age unknown)
The Princess was just an ordinary run Of the mill
hen. She was no bargain to anybody. Since listen
ing to a complete radio program she has shown great
improvement, and laid an egg every three hours. Mr..
Twitchen is now having her wired for ham and bacon.

thought about It.

dolefully. He is always sad. Child

.SHARKEY IS PICKED
TO BEAT CAMPOLO
"Who Cares" Is Attitude of
PubIic-Garden Sure to
Lose Big Money.

BY the Associated Press.
n JEW YORK, September u.s.
M If the pre-fight gate re-

then it doesn't make much
Of difference to very many PEG.
pie If Jack Sharkey lowers Vic
torio Campolo, the Argentine, to
the mat for the count of 10, or
vice versa, when they come to-
gether in their 15-round heavy
weight bout at the Yankee Sta
dunn tonight.
Unless there is last-minute mad
rush to the box Office there1l be many
yawning gaps in the huge ball park
when the two heavyweights step into the
ring between $3.50 and pm. eastern
standard time). Predictions were that
the receipts would not go much above
the 100000 mark, and If such be
the case, then Madison Square Garden
faces a substantial loss
Sharkey, making his first appear
arce since losing to Max Schmeling on
a foul in June, will enter the ring the
2-to-1 favorite over his bigger but
cruder South American opponent. The
Boston sailor will have not only the
advantage of the betting odds, If that
be an advantage, but his take Of the
gate will be 100000. In contrast
Campolo will receive only training exc
penses, about $500.
The garden, which manages CAM
polo, has high hopes that the Argen-
tine heavyweight will come through to-
night, furnish the biggest upset of the
f1stic season and provide an outstand-
ing opponent for Young Stribling in
the annual battle of the palms at
Miami next Winter. Campolo packs
a powerful right hand, but is clumsy
with his left, unless he has improved
since defeating Salvatore Ruggirello IN
Boston six months ago.
A defeat for Sharkey tonight would
just about shove him out of the heavy
weight championship picture and at the
same time victory would push Cam
polo into the midst of the muddled
situation. Campolo viii have decided
advantage in height, reach and weight,
but the wise ones" say that Sharkey
packs too much experience for his
South American opponent.

Match With HObIitzeU Would
Make Stage Skit, Says Jones

The tenth hole also had It's elements of
humor. Bobby drove into bunker and
failed to get out with his explosion. He
blasted once more and the ball was on
the edge of the green, while his oppo-
nent was well on the carpet in the Or
thodox two shots.
He then struck putt which was d.
rected with considerable accuracy, but
propelled with sufficient velocity to have
been half across the green on the other
side, except for one circumstance. This
circumstance was that the ball struck
the back of the cup with a resounding
plunk, hoped up nearly a foot, and
dropped straight back in for half in
par 4.
The play at the perilous eleventh hole
was also funny, but with tinge OF the
heroic about 1t.
A Fancy Birdie.
Bobby was on the green yards from
the stick with a fine drive and second.
The Canadian was so far off line from
the tee that his only conceivable pitch
was over a tree some SO feet tall. There
was nothing in the world to do except
try 1t, so he closed his eyes and busted
the ball as hard as he could with q
pitching tool. The ball went almost
straight up, twigging its way through
the topmost foliage of the tree and de-
scended almost perpendicularly to the
green where it stopped 6 feet from the
stick. Bobby then sank his putt, Fred
sank his, and one of the toughest holes
on the Merton course was halved In

A RDMORE, Pa, September 25.-
~ Bobby Jones appeared somewhat
~ embarrassed after his bout with
Fred Hoblitzel of Toronto in the
second round of the national amateur
championship.

visiting Englishmen as most destruc-
tive"-he had finished of the first nine
$50 for a total of 80, and had set
tied his match with Ross Somerville
right there-was not so hot in the mat
inee session, with Hoblitzel. Indeed
Jones went out in around AZ, with ball
out of bounds, and was 2 up.
1T was one of the funniest rounds I
ever took part in" said Bobby, later. II
wish they could arrange a vaudeville act
for Fred and me. It would go better
than anything could do in the movies. F"

One of the funniest things, Jones said,
was the manner in which he won the
eighth hole after driving out Of bounds.
