HEAVY LAYING NO BAR
TO QUALITY IN EGGS

An actual test with results mea-
sured scientifically has again dis
proved a notion or opinion widely
held. Some poultrymen have be-
lieved that it was possible to overdo
efforts to breed strain of poultry
capable Of high records in egg lay
ing. They said that the greater
number of eggs hen lays the poorer
the quality of the eggs. Poultry
specialists of the United States Der
partment of Agriculture had no evil
dence to substantiate this idea, but
the idea was important IL true. So
they investigated.
1t is recognized that the propor-
tion of thick albumen in relation TO
thin albumen in the white of an egg
Is one of the reliable indicators of
egg quality. Eggs with high pro-
portion of thick albumen stand stor-
age better, and they fry or poach bet
ter when fresh. The result of actual
tests showed that there was no re-
lation between the number of eggs
a hen laid and the proportion OF
thick albumen in the eggs. Some OF
the heavy layers produced eggs with
"a high proportion of thick albumen,
whereas others produced eggs with a
smaller proportion. This was also
true of the hens that laid relatively
few eggs.
The investigators found that there
are individual and breed differences
in quality as well as in quantity of
eggs. They suggest, as a eonse-
quence, that it may prove possible
to select strains of poultry that lay
quality eggs with high percentage
OF thick albumen. Whether it would
pay to do so would depend on mar
keting arrangements that would in
sure a premium price for quality.

TAKE CENSUS OF
NATIONS BUSINESS


AS part of the nationwide pro-
gram to take men and women from
the unemployment rolls and give
them temporary positions in connec-
tion with worthwhile projects, the
Bureau OF the Census will take a
census OF American business begin
ming January End, 1884, with funds
furnished by the Civil Warks Admin
istration.
Approximately 10000 supervisors
and enumerators will be employed
in every section of the United States.
The census will furnish employment
to approximately one person for
every 140 business establishments in
the country. II is expected to can
vass more than 2,400,000 establish
ments. All establishments engaged
in retailing, wholesaling in its vari-
Gus forms, service businesses OF all
kinds, amused businesse and hotel,
will be covered. Agriculture, manu-
factures, construction and profess
sional and personal services will be
excluded.
Director of the Census William L.
Austin respectfully requests the CO.
operation of all Retail, Wholesale
and Manufactures Associations, and
the Retail and Wholesale publica-
tions, because this census will not
only furnish. considerable employ
ment, but it will present to business
men and government agencies a true
picture of the condition of business,
and an accurate comparison with the
1929 census of distribution. It will,
in the opinion of Mr.. Austin, furnish
a most complete and important guide
for sound planning in the future.
In order to facilitate the field work
so that the census will be complete
by February Is, 1884, and to enable
business men to supply information
readily, a simple QUESTIONABLE has
been prepared. II is printed on a
single sheet and contains eight ma
jor questions.
These questions call for an accu-
rate description of the business
establishment canvassed, the kinds
of merchandise handled or service
offered for sale, the principal func-
tiOns performed, employment given
during the year 1888 to men and wo-
men on a part-time and full-time
basis, salaries and wages paid to
such employees, other operating ex-
penses incurred, net sales and other
operating receipts of the business,
stocks on hand on last inventory
date, and the amount of business
done on a credit basis. .-.,
Complete employment data result
ing from this census will show rela-
tive employment opportunities in the
different service trades which abb
sorb about one-fifth of all persons
gainfully employed in this country.
The seasonal fluctuations will be an
aid in seasonal. planning to the in
dividual business man, and to COM
and will make possible an
of part-time and full-time
with fair accuracy.
Individual returns will be held
strictly confidential, but the basic
data supplied will enable business
men to compare their accomplish
ments with those operating along
similar lines in their state. This will
lead towards greater efficiency in
operating methods and policies. With
collective action made possible by
the National Recovery Administra-
tion. trade associations can plan the
activities of their respective groups
on a basis of facts rather than
lunches" .. .-.t. ...

LINDBERGH
LETTERSRARE
And COSTLY

Autograph material of Colonel
Charles A. Lindbergh is more valu-
able than that Of any other living
person. Among celebrities whose au-
tographs compare in value with
those of the famous fier are Presi-
dent Roosevelt, ex-President HOOV-
er, Mussolini, Rudyard Kipling and
the Prince of Wales, according to
Thomas F. Madigan, collector and
dealers in autographs.
"It is letters entirely in Lind
bergh's handwriting that are so rare
lin my experience the rarest among
contemporary celebrities" Mr.. Mad
igan said. "He Is not a facile pen
man, and, like the late President
Coolidge, is apparently as chary Of
letter writing as he is of speech.
Line by line, a letter of Colonel
Lindbergh describing his first his
tOric crossing of the Atlantic, would
be more valuable than letter OF al
most any other contemporary. A full
hand-written letter OF Colonel Lind
bergh, even on a commonplace top
ic, is worth $50"
Lindbergh is so averse to comply
ing with the requests of autograph
hunters that even his signature is
difficult to obtain, according to Mr..
Madigan. Photographs and pro-
grams signed by the famous aviator,
or typewriter letters, do occasion
ally turn up, hut they are very
scarce. Commercially, such souve-
Mrs are worth from $40 to SIS each"
Mr.. Madigan said he had not come
across more than half n dozen sBe-
ciInens of Colonel LindbergEs auto
graphs since the historic :rans-At-
lantic fight in 1922. The material
consists mainly OF signed photo
graphs and autographed menus ami
programs.
The Prince of Wales, apparently,
also is sparing with autographs. Mr..
Madigan could not recall ever hav-
ing come into possession of 4 full
letter by the heir to the British
throne, but his signed photographs
and autographs menus bring almost
as much as those bearing the Lind
bergh signature. There is greater de-
mand in the autograph market for
the handwriting of the Prince Of
Wales than for that of his father,
King George V.
There is an abundance of letters
signed by Franklin d. Roosevelt be-
fore he became President, although
holograph letters by him are scarce.
Mr.. Madigan said he had not seen in
the market any letter written by Mr..
Roosevelt since he entered the White
House, although photographs of him
signed since last March have turned
up. Full autograph letters by some
of the recent Presidents are rarer
than those by early Chief Executives,
because the later Executives have
relied on the typewriter, telephone
and telegraph.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING

The stage-cOach, popular means
of transportation since early colon
ial days in America, passed out of
use with the coming of the railroad
in 1880. However, there are now in
operation nearly 100000 motor
coaches on approximately three
quarters of a million miles of high
way bus routes in all parts of the
United States.
The romantic picture of a few
travellers going home for Christmas
by stage-coach in the old days has
a commonplace counterpart in the
present practice of hundreds of
thousands of passengers making
holiday trips by motor bus. Instead
Of stage coach journeys of 20 to so
miles, motor coach trip from New
York to Florida or the far West is
an ordinary occurrence during the
holidays and at other times as well.
Statistics show that motor busses
figure in a fewer percentage of high
way accidents than private motor
cars. This is attributed to the train
ing in driving a bus operator must
undergo and the fact that his job
depends upon maintaining a high
safety record.
In order to study Revolutionary
War history, classes at the State
Teachers College, West Chester, Pa,
make annual pilgrimages to Brandy
wine Battlefield and other points Of
historic interest in southern Penn
sylvania. Motor buses are used to
keep the students together on the
trips.

 The choice you will make at the polls on next Tuesday, when you select a high sheriff of Litchfie!d county, will be a serious one. It is our sincere conviction that Suth- erland Beckwith of Litchfield should be the next high sheriff.
 The people of Litchfield county are noted for the soundness of their judgment, the good sense with which they approach questions af- fecting their public institutions. They are most practical and intel ligent.
 Realizing these truths, we wish to emphasize the fact that vote against Sutherland Beckwith is a vote against the best interests of Litchfield county. This is prac- tical fact, not open to contradic- tion. MT Beckwith does not wish to enter any campaign of person. alities, or to campaign on the basis of his opponents shortcomings. He presents himself confidently to the voters on the basis of his abilities. But we feel it is important to stress the fact that the sheriff who will be elecetd on Tuesday will be called upon, for the next four years, to direct the operation of the Litchfield county jail and supervise the widespread activi-

 Attacks At Rallies
Mayor Hayes Answers Acorn on Educational. 0. P.
 Candidate Criticizes Cross

Mayor Frank Hayes, in a radio speech over WTIC early last even ing, attacked several of the asser- tions of States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn, the g. o. p. gubernatorial nominee. Attorney Alcorn has said that he is in favor of an equal Opportunity for all the children of Connecticut to get an education, Mayor Hayes pointed out. Who isn't?" he asked, continuing with the assertion that the democratic party has always believed in equal Opportunity for children in educa- ton and has practiced the belief.
 Other party leaders of both major organizations spoke in vari- ous parts of the state last night, also. Speaking in Hartord, Gov ernor Cross pleaded to the voters to go to the polls on election day and cast their ballots. "I pray God that you will help us in the final encounter with an opposition that has not been a credit to the state in the last 15 years," he said.
 Cross Attacked
 Tn Stamford States Attorney AL corn attacked Governor Cross for failing to answer several questions that have been put to him. He charged that Governor Cross is seeking reelection for two more years promising to do in the next two years what he has not done in the past four. He urged the vot- CTS to scrutinize Governor Cross record closely.
 Tn Wilton U. S. Senator Frederic C. Walcott, g. o. D. candidate Tor reelectoin, charged that the gov ernment under the New Deal has been invading as many types of private business as it has had time to try out, setting up diverse manufacturing plants. He added that the governmental tentacles are rapidly twining themselves around the banks and railroads and have been threatening even the insurance companies.
 New Deal or Hoover
 Major J. Joseph Smith of this city spoke in Ansonia last night as he continued his campaign for election to congress in the demo- cratic ticket. "The voters of this congressional district are faced with a serious choice at the polls on November 6th," he declared. twill they scrap the enlightened program of President Roosevelt aiming at social and economic bet terment, sliding back to the old tooth and claw philosophy which prevailed under Hoover and his republican predecessors, or will they give endorsement to the lead CT who is finding new pathways to insure justice for the mass of the people ?" he asked.
 Republicans who ask the voters to free banking and industry from oppressive control are using honeyed words to beg for return to the law of the jungle" he as- serted. President Roosevelt has a well-integrated program. He stands firmly for his convictions while the campaign missiles of the republican politicians fall around him. He knows that he has de- rived his leadership rom the peo- pie and he is keeping faith with the people,"
 Mayor Hayes said:
