BERLIN. June 12. The decision of
the highest tribunal abrogating Polb e
President VonJagow's edict against the
wearing of hats bv women in the 'hea

theater visitors with different feelings.
Last August VonJagow Issued orders
that any director permitting women to

of his theater should pat a fine of

The dlt.■. lot- appealed to 'hr minis

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. WEDNESDAY. JUNE 12. 1912.
Experts Show Way to Pull
Drowning Person From
the Water.
The safe method of drawing a person
aboard a rescuing boat is shown In the
accompanying Illustration.
Recurrences of the two fatal acci
dents at Piedmont park may be pre
vented, almost invariably, if the res
cuers in the boat which 'hurries to the
aid of the victims will maneuver so
tliat the rescue can be made from the
stern.
The rescuer should stand near the
stern of the skiff and grasp the victim
so that he may be drawn aboard so
closely to the broad end that his weight
will not tip the boat, and thus pre
cipitate a second accident.
If there are two victims floundering
in Hie water, botli should be forced to
clutch the traft as near as possible to
the stein. Thus the boat will be bal
anced until both victims can lie drawn
a board.
The illustration is posed for The
Georgian by Miss Vera Thomas, of At
lanta. a skilled swimmer. The picture
shows the weight of three persons on
the stern ami the craft fully maintain
ing its equilibrium.

HENS POT ON DIET
TO LAY LIEU EGGS
English Scientists Also Expect
to Develop Record Pro
lific Fowl.
z
LONDiJ.N. June 12. The imagina
tive experimenters who control the
Cambridge School of Agriculture are
engaged in the interesting endeavor
to make liens lav red eggs. There is
always the best market for hen’s eggs
which die of the richest red-brown, a
color that is natural io the eggs of
several varieties.
I Tifortunately. the most prolific lay
ers will not follow the fashion, with
the i'suit that the eggs of the differ
ent varieties, for example, Leghotns
and Buffs, have a quite different mai
ket value.
The ''ambridge "Mendelians" hope
that they will be able to produce at
wi:i a brown-egg-laying hen of pro
lific habit, just as they have produced
' sirong rust-resisting• wheat of high
y :eid. by working on this curious law
of Alertciei (i. e.. by selection of* the
"parents" and then of certain of the
offspring" to be "parents" in turnt.
Hens- have so far proved admirable
-x tniples of lite vrorking of the law.
In respect of single and double combs,
iind in respect of color, they are pt".
Cecily obedient to the proper scientific
i>: inciple. They "behave" as they
ought, to use the technical verb.
There is also the subsidiary fluestion
of food. A good canary breeder can
make his birds Hie right color mere
ly by the right selection of foods. He
can at will make a Norwich canary
orang”, or a bullfinch black. Similar
ly. It may be possible Io alter the egg
color by food as well as by hereditary
influences
If mustard, as has been lately prov
ed. makes hens lay better, why should
not colchleum or what not make them
lay mote marketable eggs'.’ Some day,
perhaps, Cambridge will achieve the
poultryman’s ideal of a hen that lays
per annum 250 two-ounce red eggs.
