How large is an egg? Or to
be specified, how big are the eggs
in the jar in the window OF The
Skyland Post? That is the ques-
ton DR.. J. K. Hunter as we'll as
many other mathematicianS ask
ed this week in their efforts to
figure out the correct number
which filled the five-gallOn jar.
An average egg produced by the
chicken is tWo-and-one half oun-
ces. Guinea eggs are smaller
while turkey, duck, and goose
eggs are slightly larger. The
eggs like the fowls which pro-
duce them, have a slightly diff
ferent flavor. A farmer in Neck
lenburg county brought in an egg
which weighed 3 and 1916 oun-
ces last week. 1t would appear
that this hen like some people is
trying to Guido herself for Eas-
ter. But the main question here
was-''how many eggs were in
the jar?"

The exhibit on transportation at
the New York Worlds Fair will
dramatic the progress that has
been made since the time when
man, to travel anywhere at all, had
to do so under his own power.
The first steam railway train and
the first steamship date back only
a little more than one hundred
years, and we had our first trans
continental railroad, only after the
Civil War. But, as methods of
transportation improved, cities and
states were brought closer together
and isolation was banished. Entire
ly new conceptions of distance de-
veloped. Travelling, from an event,
became a commonplace.
Entertainment took to the road
and the river; the circus and show,
boat brought a worldly atmosphere
even to the smallest communities
In 1889 with the opening of the
Worlds Fair, the progress in trans
portation facilities is brought dra.
matically to the fore. Not only has
provision been made for the hand,

arrive b. >boat, train, bus, autOmo-
bile and airplane, but by modern

The New York Worlds Fair 1889
Pre-View on Wheels and Southern
rcade Of "The Arcadian
Grower" is now touring the South
with an advance showing Of the
Fair buildings in pictorial form.
Sponsored by the distributors of
Arcadian Nitrate, the American
Soda, and officially approved by the
New York Worlds Fair, the Motor
cade consists of two truck and
trailer combinations, each about 40
feet long. The cyclorama back
ground presents panoramic view
of the Fair 60 feet long and 10 feet
high, Illuminated in color.
The animated portion of the ex-
hibit, "The South Self-COntained,'
employs a pictorial map iliustrat-
ing the manufacture and distribu-
ton of Arcadian Nitrate in the
Southern States by means of a NOV
| ing steamship, moving freight trains
and lighted zones.
The entire exhibit, colorful, vivid
and realistic, bespeaks the modern
era and brings with it a realization
of the important part transporta-
ton plays in mans daily life.

Adolf Hitler Defies
Enggland's PledgeTo
Stop Germany
Heaps ScOrn on England and
France. May Cancel Naval
Agreement.
SPEAKS BEHIND SCREEN

MILHELMSHAVEN, Germany,
April 1-Reichsfuehrer Hitler de-
riSively threw back the Anglo
French anti-aggression challenge
today but avoided going beyond
the intimation he might cancel
Germany's naval treaty with
Great Britain.
Germany will stand neither
for intimidation nor enclrcle-
ment," he declared.
He spoke to $4,000 men and
women of Wilhelmshaven and its
vicinity in a Commute address
after he had witnessed the
launching of Germany's second
35,OOO-ton battleship this year,
the Won Tirpitz.
In his passage On the 1885 An
glo-German naval treaty, under
which Germany agreed that her
tonnage would not exceed 35 per
cent of Britain's, Hitler said:
II once concluded a naval
agreement with Britain. l was
animated by the fervent desire
that we might never again have
a war with England.
eff, however, that wish does
not exist on the other side, then
the practical preconditions for
concluding such a treaty have
vanished"
On the whole the fuehrer con-
tented himself with heaping
scorn upon Britain, of which he
said:
For 300 long years she has
acted in a virtueless manner but
only now in her old age she
speaks of virtue"
Poland and the Anglo-French
offer of military assistance if hel
independence were threatened
were mentioned only indirectly
with the warning by implication
to Poland:
He who is willing to pull the
chestnuts out of the fire for 9th
ers must expect to get burned" "
There also was an indirect re.
ference interpreted as aimed a

seen in West Jefferson on Satur-
day. 1t did not fall from the
skies, but was freighted in atop Of
trucks which came from farther
north in the mountains. But if it
did not actually snow here, there
was no fooling about the cold
weather. March, which came in

the fury of lion.

Der Fuehrer is not "derr Few-rer." !"
Der rhymes with hair, pair. The
~ in Fuehrer correctly spelled
Fuhrer with the uHnlaut "u') is ap-
proximately the same as the French

it purse the lips as if to say foo"
as in food. But instead say "fee'
as in feed without changing the po-
sition of the lips. This blends the
100" and the zee" and produces a
sound for which we have no English
equivalent. "FEE-rer" is closer to
the. correct German than the COM
