The college pen laid the remark able number of 144 eggs for the 31 days of the month. The actual rec ord of the five birds was 25, 28, 29, 30 and 31 eggs respectively, or an average of approximately 29 eggs a hen. This is the best showing known to have been made in any contest by a pen of this size. The report of the college hen's vie tory, just received by Professor Dry den, also showed that a pen of Barred Rocks sent from the college stood high in the list, with a record of 135 eggs for the same time. The contest began on November 1, and as the O. A. C. hens were a week late in reaching the scene their record for that month was not so high. For the two months of the contest, however, the White Leghorn pen has jumped from 24th to tenth place, and bids fair to land at the top within a short time, regardless of the handicap in starting, it is thought. Hens entered from Oregon Agri cultural college are all of the pedi greed, trap-nested stock, having sev eral generations of high-record female ancestors (behind them, in some cases records exceeding 300 eggs a year showing in their pedi gree. The hen with the highest re cord for the two months in a Cor vallis hen entered by M. A. Allen. The hen has laid 61 eggs at Puy lajrup one every day of the Contest. Homeless and destitute, they have seized about 30 suburban public li braries, baths and assembly halls. From some of these they have been forcibly ejected by the police and this has caused more ill-feeling. Delegates from employed commit tees in a score of London bor oughs have recently formed a cen tral council, which is holding secret meetings at which "direct action" is planned. What form this "direct action" will take is not divulged by the leaders, who proclaim their intention to act independently of the labor party or lrades unions; but Dennis Jennett, .the chairman of the committee, told the Associated Press representative they will be of a startling nature. "Seventy-five percent of the Lon-J don unemployed are ex-service men,1 Jennett said. "We are not out for loot, but we want work provided at once. Deputations to cabinet minis ters result in vague promises and don't help us. Relieving acute dis tress is by no means our full pro gram. We want to reshape the rela tions between capital and labor.

Certain It Is, that when kIih ilrsr heard of Him Harford, the fflrl Indignantly exclaimed, "The lieust !" And Aunt Pulclnla was shocked and horrltled as usual. Dulclo as a child had brought Into the house various stray cats and shag gy dogs which she called her friends. Returning one day from an errand the girl was accompanied by a hulking mastiff which she pleasantly informed her frowning relative, had Joined her In a walk. "I was going down Lynden avenue,1 Dulcie said happily, "when this big fellow came running from the road to wulk at my Bide." The mild and lo ing animal ending his scrutiny of Miss Dulcinla's face, gave a low and threat ening growl, exhibiting fiercely his sharp and shining teeth. The elder woman paling suddenly, crept behind the shelter of the door, while Dulcie dropped upon her knees her arm ca- resslug the dog's head.

"Why do you call him that fool namer "It's on his collar," Dulcie cheer fully informed her. "Emperor, property of Jim Harford, 202 Bale street.

The animal, his grum blings ended In a loving whine, looked up at her In adoration. "He's afraid I will take him back to that Harford person to be beaten I again," she exclaimed Indignantly. He might know that I would not I am his friend." "Friend," scoffed the exasierated Miss Dulclnla. She went determined ly to the telephone. It was a gruff voice with a German accent which answered. "You'd better called up," the voice threatened, "before I gets the police after you. That dog In valuable. He guards our storehouses. "The girl coaxed him away. I heard her. I vas on de vagon.

Dulcie heard her aunt's frightened voice saying, and in a whirl the girl had the telephone In her hand. "I won't give up your dog," she said defiantly, "until I am sure he will have decent treatment hen-after. See If you tan make me." She did not await the expected an gry reply, but replaced the receiver, facing her aunt with rose-fluahed cheek "I am going out," Dulcie announced, "to sit on the front steps beside that dog until the man comes." On the broad stone step sat her niece, the mastiffs head against her shoulder. After an Interminable time a car came swinging up the rond and it's driver descended. He was a young man of pleasing and correct appear ance. Miss Dulclnla noted. And as the young man stood hat In hand, Dulcie gave him permission to be seated. It was evident that an earnest con versation followed. Emperor after a time of speculative interest, shifted his vast bulk so that it rested confi dently between th two. Dulcie raised her velce slightly at last, and the lis tening lady could hear, "Then you will see your dog is taken care of. It Is a pity that you trusted him so long to your warehouse manager." She laughed. "Evidently the man who beat your dog unmercifully was afraid to face one small woman, so he THRIFT WORK OF SCHOOL CHILDREN IS RECOGNIZED Washington, D. C.

The use of peat as a source of heat goes back beyond the historical period into the ancient history of the early tribes in northern Germany.
