It may be that some ‘of the Nor- wich men now in deferred ‘classifieas t!tiong under the selective service act will be brought up into Class 1 dur- ing the present month. In the endeavor to secure a greater number of Connecticut men available for immediate military duty, all local exemption boards are to be directed soon during this month to devote an entire week to determining -whether there may not be certain draft reg- istrants outside of Class 1 who should be placed in that class. Norwich still has about 100 men left in Class 1 who are fit for call for :mmediate military duty. There are about 200 names in Classes 2-and 3 which might possibly be combed over to see if there might not be some of these deferred clap<iification men available for inclusion in Class 1. Norwich has already s2nt out from 600 to 790 men from the 3,000 %ho were registered and the balance of the registrants are practically all in Classes 4 and 5, the married men with dependents and those deferred for in- dustrial reasons.

Physical examinations will be taken of Class 1 registrants now conditione dfor iimited service or genera] service to determine whether they ought not to be adjudged phy- sically fit assignment to Class 1 with- out condition. Government appeal agents will be expected to appeal to district boards in cases where there is still apparent grounds for placing a man in Class 1 contrary to the decis- ion of his local board. Beginning this week, Major John Buckley, who has charge of the en- forcement of the selective service act in this state. will issue instructions to all local boards on the “work or fight” regulations recently promul- gated by Provost: Marshal General Crowder. These regulations’ which affect registrants who are unemploy- ed or who are engaged in non-essen- tial labor, will be enforced beginning July 1. SEYMOUR LEGHORNS WIN FIRST HONCRS For 31st Week of the Laying Contest at Storrs. First honors in the 31st week of the Connecticut_pen of Leghorns entered by George Phillips of Seymour. The week's vield for this pen of 10 birds was 61 eggs. Oak Hill Estate’s pen of the same breed from Uniontown, Pa., were a close second with a yield of 60 eggs. The Agricultural college pen of Oregons from Corvallis, Ore,, were in third position with 58 eggs to ‘their credit. A pen of Buff Wyandottes en- tered by H. P. Cloyes of East Hartford, Conn., and Tom Baron's Whitegleg- horns from Catforth, England, for fourth place with 57 eggs. The total production for all pens was 4,22, or a yield of a little over 61 per cent. This is nearly 100 eggs less than for the previous week and nearly 200 eggs un- der the yield for the corresponding week last year. From time to time there have been made in thege columns various sugges- tions which are almost sure to make for better egg production. A partial enumeration of those factors that can be almost entirely controlled by the poultryman would include segregation of the males after the hatching sea- son, providing an abundance of green food in summer as well as winter, a close inspection of the poultry houses to guard against red mites, making sure that the birds have a bountiful supply of clean, fresh water, all of which are an aid in getting the maxi- mum number of eggs from any given flock of hens. A recent survey of the situation as conditions actually exist on a number of farms in Connecticut proves almost conclusively that the successful poultryman mst get more than the average number of esgs. A great many hens are laying not more than eight dozen eggs a year, and this is not enough. One ought to get at least two or three more eggs a month, ‘which would mean 10 to 11 dozen eggs a year, or elee seriously consider the advisability of either relinquishing the poultry game or else procuring better stock. The three best pens in each of the principal varieties are as follows: Barred Plymouth Rocks. Pen. 4 Jules F. Francais, Hampton Beach, L. I. . 5 Tom J. Adamson, Laurel, P. O.

Case addressed to the Ladies of The Red Cross: Dear Ladies of the Red Cross: We men certainly thoroughly . appreciate what you did for us when we left to enter. service. 1 had the opportunity of thanking Miss Richards on Thurs- day morning, so do not feel as guilty as T otherwise would. 1 am very glad to be with the Nor- wich bunch. They have the proper spirit and now that their services are needed are doing their best cheer- fully. ‘When we reached New Haven the Red Cross ladies were kind to us there and gave us cards to write out and send to our friends. It made us feel good to think they thought of us. Your sweaters come in very handy as the evenings and mornings are oft- en cool and we need them. Wz wear them under our flannel shirts in or- der that we may appear uniform. Sc 1 guess some of those dropped stitch- es which my friends worried about so_much won't ever be seen. The Y. M. C. A. is doing a great work here and we sure appreciate it. Our officers and non-coms treat us like gentlemen as {ong as we do like- wise. The food is good and every effort is made to keep us in good health. ‘We miss of course some of the home comforts, but in two weeks more when we get more used " to things 1 think we will be a joily, kap- Py gang. We are already. It means much to know that you are working and knitting suppliss for us: which we may need later. ‘We certainly appreciate it and thank you for your interest in us. “For the bunch” Sincerely, PRI.

THREE NORWICH BOYS MEET IN FRANCE When Ripple Morgan- and His Am- bulance Were Stuck in the Mud. A strange happening has been re- lated by three local boys now in the service of the United States in France. The boys concerned in the happening are Privates Michael Aldi and Irving Bogue and Ambulance driver Ripple Morgan. All three boys tell of the af- fair in letters to their parents. Private Morgan and his ambulance stuck in the mud in some part of France where mud is the general character of the soil, when the other two boys came along and gave him a lift.

Defense has received copies of & res: eolution adopted by the Council of De- fense and its advisory commission urging an immediate and ~ concerted effort on the part of citizens for econ- jofhy as an important step in the prose- cution of the war. The resolution, which' declares ev- eryone should practice self demal in dress, food and manner of living, is ‘gned by the members of the Coun i of National Defense and the Ad- visory Commission. ~The resolution reads as follows: , : “Tla» Council of National Defanse and the Advisory Commission of the council believe that a concerted effort for economy by the people of thc na- tion will not only go far toward ps ing America’s expense in the war, but t iwill also reduce consumption of raw and manufactured materials essen: to the conduct of the war. “The council urges all to refrain from unnecessary expenditures of ev- ery kind, and to bear constantly m mind that only one thing is now of real importance, and that is the win- ning of the war. It is mose creditable for every one—man and woman, boy and girl—to be economical in dress, food and manrier of living. ‘Every evi dence of helpful ‘self-denial on the part of all in a time like this is most commendable. “This was is more than a confi between armies; it is a contest which every man, woman and chiid can and should render real t- ance. Thrift and economy are mot only a patriotic privilege, they are a duty.” | FURNISHED LIQUOR TO NAVAL PATROL Frank E. Mathers Made Bad Mistake Saturday Night—Now Under Ar- rest. al Frank Mathers, who is employed at stable work in this city, was arrested on Saturday evening by one of the naval patrol from the submarine base who was assigned to the city for the night. Mathers is accused of fur- nishing liquor to a sailor in uniform who happened this time to be the pa- trol officer himself. After his arrest by the patrol offi- cer and conveyance to police station Mathers told how he came to make the mistake. He said that he had agreed to get some booze for some soldiers who were to wait for him in the neighborhopd of the public lava- tory at the foot of Rose place. They gave him the money and he got the liquor but upon returning to Rose place could not see the soldiers any- where. He sat down to wait in case they should appear and was joined by a sailer whom he did not know, but who engaged him in friendly con- versation. It wasn't long before Ma- thers suggested that his new found friend might perhaps like a drink. The sailor who was willing and the bottle changed hands only for Math- ers to find that he was under arrest for bootlegging. ANNUAL MEMORIAL MASS OF ST.

SEEKS THE SINNER God's Great Love Symbolized in Day's Gospel, Rev. J. H. Broderick’s Theme. Yesterday was the third Sunday af- ter Pentecost. At the 7.30 mass in St. Patrick’s church, the rector, Rev. J. H. Broderick, who, as usual. read the low mass, preached from the gospel for the Sunday, which was Luke x 1-10. This was the parable of the missing sheep and the lost groat, sought by their owners with great diligence and anxiety until found. The parable, - the preacher said, taught the lesson of God's great love for the sinner, for whose return God does not even wait, but whom He 2oes out to find, seeking to persuade him to_return. In giving holy communion Auring the mass Rev. Father Broderick was assisted by Rev. Peter J. Cuny Evening School Course at Danbury Summer School.
