New York, July 20.-Not That II
Matters A young man named Omero
Catan, who has gained a curious fame
here by his fevered fiXation on being
the first citizen to cross every new
bride, ride on every new subway and
bus line and board every new ship
on its maiden docking, has the re-
porters of trivia dizzy with contro-
versy since the recent opening of the
Tri-borOugh Bridge.
Mr.. Catan bought n new automobile
for the occasion and waited up all
night to speed across as soon as the
tape was cut Twenty feet from the
toll-booth his motor stalled and he
had to be pushed awhile by perspiring
and philanthrOpic pedestrians. The
misadventure allowed a man on BIZ
cycle to precede Mr.. Catan across the
span.
The controversy, which is so silly it
has a sort of grandeaur, is over
whether men on bicycles count as au-
thentic "frsts."
tMr Catan says he only collects first
rides. A man on bicycle isn't riding,
he explains with patient nicely; that s
a, pure case of peddling-arrant self
propulsion.

College Station, Raleigh, July 20
When a hen lays 1000 eggs, poultry
men sit up and take notice.
But when two 1,000-egg hens are
found in the same flock, poultrymen
really have something to talk about,
said Roy S. Dearstyne, head of the
poultry department at State College.
The two birds pictured above,
queens of the demonstration poultry
flock at the college, have each laid
more than 1000 eggs and are still
going strong, Dearstyne stated.
The top bird, known as A73, was
Matched on March 26, 1881, and
started laying on September II of
that year. She laid her 1000 egg on
June 80, 1886.
During her first laying year, she
3produced 266 eggs. Her eggs are of
good size, Dearstyne pointed out,
averaging 20 ounces or more to the
dozen.
The bird shown in the lower part
of the picture, known as ABB, was
Matched on March II, 1881, and start
ed laying on August II of that year
She laid her 1000 egg on April II,
1885,
During her first laying year she
produced 282 eggs, a record for any
poultryman to shoot at. Her eggs
are also of good size, averaging about
the same as those of A73.
Although the two birds were hatch
ed at different times, they are con-
sidered sisters masmuch as the eggs
from which they were Matched were
laid by the same hen.
Both have been given the same
