International Egg Contest at Storrs Yields Close Results
In the fourth week of the laying contest at Storrs a New York pen of White Leghorns owned by A. P. Robinson of Calverton won first place by five eggs, totaling 40 eggs for the week. Second place was a tie between Cloyes & Sullivan's Buff Wyandottes from Hartford and E. A. Ballard's White Leghorns from Chestnut Hill, Pa., with 35 eggs each. Third place tied for 34 eggs between A. B. Hall of Wallingford and Miss Frances H. Mesereau of West Willington, and fourth tied at 33 eggs with Obed G. Knight's White Orpingtons and J. O. LeFevre's Leghorns from New Paltz. Total eggs for all pens reached 1524. Molting among lighter breeds reduces weekly yields. Leghorns' nervous temperament makes them sensitive to transport-induced changes, though recent contests show sturdier, more vigorous birds overall.

Board of Charities weighs two ambulances for city
The Board of Charities met yesterday to petition the city for two new ambulances and two drivers. They argue two shifts of 12 hours each would reduce dependence on police headquarters housing and match rising accident and run rates. Repairs this year have cost the city about 2500, nearly the price of a new unit. The board also seeks a municipal fund to aid discharged consumptive sanatorium patients with food and living conditions to curb relapse.
