This js not true, how- ever, for the twenty-eight week this yvear. because too many of the hens among the heavy breeds let their maternity instincts get the best of them. They were thinking too much about brooding chicks and too litlle abeut laying eggs. In con- seqaence the total yield of 4,401 eggs during the tweniy-eighth week was 118 lessy than the average for the last years. This is an egg yiel of nearly $2 per cent. as compared wish ah ex- pected production of Mearly *65 per cent. Another effect of the slow-down ameng the American varieties was to let the Legherne get away with about everything in sight. First place for the week went to Mountain View Peultry Farm's pen of White Leghorns from Genéva, N. Y., with a vield of 59 ¢sws.

Women and the Community, At the conclusion of the supper Dr. Marshall was introduced and delivered a very inspiring message on Women and the Community. Dr. Marshall in his opening remarks spoke -of the kind feel- ing of co-eperatian that has aiways been manifested by Norwich people toward the coliege of which he is head. During my life T have met a great many women whom I have henored from my mother on, teachérs and others who have helped mold my life, he said. Al- ways have T been keen for suffrage. hut in no way should It mean the minimizing of the duties of women in the home and in the s@ucational field. Women are the great conservators, stabilizers and muar- jdians of the morale of the community.

In my many questions, very frequent among them is the question life?" and “Is there such a thing [God and immortality?” When these young people begin asking ‘such questions as these it is time for a tevision. Many have the idea about God that used to be displayed in the 'school room “The eyes of God are in ev- ery corner” 1 recently heard at a meeting the question asked, When and Where i5°God? This was answered by a noted theologian when he said God is the stream of Jife; God is the smile of the child; God is in the shining eye of the youth; God is the strensth of him who goes through life sharing the bur- dens of others; God is that friend who does not forsake you when all others have; God is the all pervasive spirit that flows through this universe. Our” friends ere waiting for us to reyeal to them he spirit of God and it is the women. the mothers of the home, the home- makers who wiil do this. ‘Woman is a person of peace and when we still see the drinping claws of mili- tarism menacing the world we do not wonder that she is afraid. Mothers did :&t raise their boys for war and have watched them grow to give them to the hifeous monster of war. We read that 68° per cemt. of the income of the United States is used for past and fu- ture wars while only 1 per cent. go for education. I do not advocate dis- yrmament for 1 believe there are soms times when it is necessary hut women should use their right to make war un- pecessary. They should use their in- fluence against this great curse. It would be a good thing if the par- ents of today should have the firm old standards that their fathers and moth- ers taught them.
