After extensive studies along the lines of atavism, McKay says he con ceived the notion that by inter-breeding parrots and black Orpingtons he could get the much desired grfeen tinge for the Orpington feathers. The results were astounding. To poultrymen the parrot is known as a negative breeder that is, its characteristics are not likely to be Im parted by inter-breeding. However, McKay figured that with such a pro nounced characteristic as green in the matter of plumage, there was some hope of success if he could se cure the fertile eggs. He says he was successful in this after repeated ex periments. There were many failures however, and a number of discourag ing setbacks, but he kept at work un til he not only secured the desired green tinge for his black Orpingtons, but he !s now quite certain that he will soon show a breed of chickens that can talk. army.

London. Andrew Carnegie sailed on the Celtic more robust in heaith than he has been for several years as a result of his five months' stay at Skibo Castle, his Highland home. He said he was anxious to get back to the United States and wants to be called before the steel investigating committee as soon as he arrives. He also is:-ued an ultimatum to King George relative to the oath of fealty he took last week when he was tendered the freedom of the city of St. Albans. He said: "Yes, it is correct that I swore to be faithful to George the Fifth, which is one of the old English customs used when a person is tendered the keys of a city. "But George must give me a fair trial. He must obey what I say as well as have me obey him, for I, too, am a king in my own country. I mean that all Americans are kings at home."
