How Does Hen Turn
Eggs? Experts Debating
Small California Lad Has Poultry
Experts Guessing by Simple
Question

Sacramento, Calf, June 3O-How
does a setting hen turn over her
eggs?
This fowl question, upsetting the
peace and quiet of three state de-
partments, was raised today by lit
tie Willie Howe, second grade pupil
in the Hopewell school at Alturas.
Willie wrote an indignant letter
to the late department of agricul-
ture about the little black hen" in
the second reader turning her eggs
over with her feet. And Willie's
assertion that "this amt so be-
cause hen turns eggs with her
beak," started an immediate and
official investigation.
All recognized authorities agreed
that the hen must turn her eggs
over some way or they won't hatch

properly.
The state department of agricul-
ture voted with Willie in favor of
the hens beak.
The state agricultural education
bureau took the neutral position
that the average hen hasn't any
special technique in the matter.
And then Wylie E. Lloyd, profess
sor of poultry husbandry, State Col
lege of Agriculture, Davis, was
quoted as claiming the hen does the
trick with "sidewise movement of
the body" She only uses her beak,

fer the time and effort I have put
into the work as an expression of
my regard for the people, the Of
ficials, and the service men and
women of what we all agree is still,
without referring for the moment

liant operator is assured Of its valid
ity. Service is maintained on a
twenty-four hour basis.
The switchboard is located in a
room adjoining the warden's office,
outside the prison proper, and be-
between this strategic centre of COM
munication and the prison there is
a stretch of concrete roadway some
200 yards in length down which no
prisoner is allowed to come.

Prison Telephone
Is Most Valuable
instrument in Sing Sings Guard
Tower Tested Daily

A telephone that has never been
used is considered the most valu-
able telephone in Sing Sing Prison.
It is the telephone in the guard
tower at the north gate outside the
warden's office. This telephone is
available only to the guard on duty
in that tower, and it cannot be
reached by any prisoner. 1t is con-
nected by direct wire to the tele-
phone central office. Here a light
will flash if the receiver is ever
lifted and that flash, coming SIM
ulatneously with the booming
shrek of Big Ben the prison siren,
will instantly transmit the mess
age that a general escape, delivery
or riot is being attempted. This
telephone has never been used, so
vital is it considered to the prison
that it is tested every day.
The telephone at Sing Sing is as
valuable an agent to the warden
of the prison as it is to any execu-
tive of any business. It enters
largely into the general routine of
work of the prison and has proven
an indispensable aid to the prison
administration.
Two telephone systems serve the
Sing Sing community of 1850
souls, an inside system with 40
extensions and an outside system
with fifteen extensions, eight
trunks, and three direct wires. One
male operator, an employee, handles
both switchboards, as the post is
too important a one to give to a
prisoner, although TRUSTEES may an
swer at the other end of the cir
cult. Thus, there is just as well
defined a bar between thep risoner
and the outside world, from tele-
phone standpoint, as there is be-
tween the prison itself and the rest
of the world through the heavy
steel door of the South Gate which
snaps like a steel trap after a group
of handcuffed prisoners have been
shut within it's walls.
In the shops, the schools, the
various offices and the guard posts
of the prison, telephones on the in
side system keep the warden's Of
flee in constant touch with every
activity and afford speedy COM
munication facilities to the en-
ployees of the prison and to certain
TRUSTEES who aid them. Connected
with the outside telephones through
the switchboard in the administra-
ton building are only the important
officials of the institution such as
the principal keeper, comptroller,
the superintendent of industries,
the. chief surgeon, the chief clerk
and the warden. No call passes

Deputy State School Superinten-

of why chicken crosses the road

or the egg."
