tricts. The bill, as offered in its
original form in this session of the
Legislature, he declared, goes even
further by including interest pay
ments. Pointing out that the bonds
continue until 1864, he showed that
the total interest until that date
would reach $1,24S.139. He also
showed that the principal will total
$2,342,SS7 by that date. In addition
he said it is likely that there will
be other bonds issued. ,..
Senator VanSant voiced the opin-
ion it would be unsafe to obligate
the State to take care of the inter-
est, because by establishing this
precedent, it would have to continue.
He said that if, in the next four
years, more revenue returns to the
State. he sees no reason why it can
not be done then. He stated he OPP
posed such action, however, under
present conditions.
The bill provides an appropria-
tion of $135, 5,5O6.5O for the coming
fiscal year to pay the principal on
the bonds, and $116,232 for the fol-
lowing fiscal year.

NOTED DRY LEADER TO
TELL OF BEER CONSPIRACY

Coming directly from Washing
ton. DR.. Clarence True Wilson will
tell The Inside Story of the Beer
Conspiracy" Saturday evening al
the anniversary of the Board oi
Temperance, Prohibition and Public
Morals to be observed by the VIII
mington Conference of the NJ. E.
Church, now in session at RehObOth
Beach.
DR.. Wilson, well-known dry lead
Ell and ,or twenty-five years head Of
the Methodist Board of Temperance,
attributes the recent legalizatiOn Of
beer to five conspiracies on The part
of selfish groups against the major
ity of the people.
There has been a conspiracy, no
doubt of that" he said today. And
when the people know what has
been going on under cover, they
will demand a change from wet po-
litical leadership which has made ii
impossible for the people To express
their true convictions"
DR.. Wilson is native Of the Eas-
tern Shore and held pastorates there
before going into the general work
of the church.
Concerning the recent submission
of the 18th Amendment TO the states
for ratification, DR.. Wilson said
I'VE are lucky TO get prohibition re-
ferred to the states. We will now
see what that group, yelling for in
intoxicants, will de with their OathS
of office with regard to the enforce
ment of . Constitutional Amend
ment re-sustained by the people"
"If America has any religion or
any morality" he said commenting
upon the recent legalization of beer
by Congress, cor any common sense
in finances left. it will react un-
iavorably TO the beer regime and
will protest against the underworld
having the upper hand, against the
lawless debating laws, against the
beer barons perpetrating their trade
and demands upon American socie-
ty
"The obsession under which the
labor seems to be-all
the people want beer, are willing TO
pay for it and beer will Fay the
taxes, and our troubles will be at an
end. The populace will wonder why
we do not tell them that beer never
paid our taxes when We had it flow
ing like the brooks, that it cost |
more than it brought to the Govern
ment. that poor men who can't buy |
a sandwich or a cup of coffee cant .
drink ten cent beer or five, that the |
rich people brought on this depres-
sion, not the poor, and the rich peo-
pie should pay us out, not the poor
mans throat"

CAN'T TELL BY SHAPE HOW
MANY EGGS HEN WILL LAY

Neither the shape of a hens body
nor the shape Of her head bears any
relation to her egg production. This
is the conclusion reached by J. P.
Quinn, poultryman of the U. s..
Bureau of Animal Industry, after
measuring the live birds, the dress
ed carcasses, and the bones of
about 400 trapnested White Leghorn
and Rhode Island Red henc.
No relationship could be found be-
tween egg production or egg size
and the shape of the hens body.
Head and skull measurements re-
vealed no factor-length, breadth.
or depth of skull associated with
high capacity for egg production.
Effective selection of laying hens
should be based upon the followingI
Milford chronicle., 1933-03-31

four characteristics which are bet
ter guides than conformation:
1-Earliness of maturity, indicat-
ed by an age of not more than 200
days at the laying of first egg.
2-Rate of egg-production record7
ed by trapnesting Or indicated by
bleaching of heak and shanks in
yellow-skinned fowls.
3-Abseuce of broodiness.
4-Persistance of production, in

Besides their numerous wives.

With all its aches and qualms,

MILAN ISSUES SIDEWALK ORDER
Property Owners Will Be Obliged to Clean and
 Sand Walks

On orders from Superintendent of Police Joseph H. Mclean, mem- bers of the motor patrol were de- tailed to-day to notify delinquent property owners that they must comply with the law and clean their sidewalks of ice and snow.
 Many complaints were received at police headquarters to-day con- cerning the apparent indifference of some owners to the condition of their walks. No effort whatever, was made in scores of instances to remove any part of the snow, which fell so heavily for few hours last evening.
 Members of the afternoon pla- toon were given orders to-day to check up on the streets in the sec- tions in which they are on duty. A list of delinquent owners will tbe kept at headquarters and rechecked tomorrow. If conditions have not changed a summons will be served on the owner or tenant.
 There is a. good opening now for some enterprising man who would tour the city selling sand in small quantities. So many use oil that there is a scarcity of ashes to put on walks. Besides, sand is pre- ferable to ashes around the door step, so that an enterprising fellow who would go here and there shout ing Sand for Sale at Low Price" would make an honest dollar and at the same time prove public benefactor,

New York Banker Is Out for Gold Policies of
 Roosevelt

New York, Dec 14-(UP)-An address by Frank A. Vanderlip ex- pressing confidence in President Roosevelt's gold policy. was credit ed to-day with forestalling the New York board of trades demand for return to the gold standard. Action on resolution seeking sound money through return of the gold standard and requesting the administration to reveal its monetary policy as soon as possi- ble. was deferred after Vanderlip. former president of the National City Bank, had termed return to the gold standard "a fatal step"
 Agreement of the board with other groups demand return lis wrong" the former banker said. As an alternative to return, he sug- gested that the United States melt its gold. and go on a bullion standard"
 Many minimizing letters have been written demanding a return to the old gold standard by people who have not thought it through" Vanderlip said. q don't put any more faith in some bankers than I do in dentists. Both use gold and neither knows much about It."
