CHEN EQUIPMENT HAS ARRIVED Other Furnishings Expected to Arrive in the Near Future The two master radio sets for the Genosha 'Hotel arrived at the hotel yesterday and were in opera- tion on a test last night. Today two engineers of the Canadian General Electric Company, which is installing the machines, = were testing out the radio wiring on the various floors of the hotel and placing the machines in a permanent location, These two sets were made es- pecially for the Genosha Hotel. In appearance, they resemble an or- dinary electric control board with a built in loud speaker cone at the top. They are ten tube mach- ines, entirely electric, taking the ordinary 110-volt lighting current. The sets are powerful enough to operate radio loud speakers in all of the 110 rooms of the hotel. The two sets'. make provision for a variety of program to the patrons of the hotel, There are two plugs in each room, one con- mecting with each radio set. Should the guest not like either of the programs which are tuned in, or should he desire to listen to any particular program, by call. ing the girl on the house telephone exchange she can tune in to the program he wan!s, and let the other set carry a program of gen- eral interest for the other guests. The stock of loud speakers, which are beautiful designed cone table speakers, has also arrived and they are' ready to set up in the rooms. Almost all of the kii{chen and cafeteria equipment has arrived at the hotel, and the electrical fixtures are all ready to ship from Toronto, said J. B. Windross, manager of the hotel, yes.erday. The fixtures are being held in To- ronto until the furniture is ship- ped, however, on account of the danger of theft. It is expected that the rest of the furnishings, includ- ing carpets, curtains and furni- ture, will be completed and ship- ped to the hotel shortly, he said. POULTRY LECTURES GIVE POINTERS ON EGG HATCHABILITY Housing and Diseases Also Discussed By Men from the O.A.C. Contrary to general belief, eggs from the beviest laying hens are not necessarily low in fertility, de- clared BE, S. Snyder, M.S.A,, of the Ontario 'Agricultural College, in a lecture to poultry men in ue city | council chambers last night. Experiments conducted at the Ontario Africultural College at Guelph had brought out some in- teresting facts in connection with the hachability of eggs said Mr. Snyder. Eggs from hens whose only source of food was from beef scrap or tankage, and grain, show- ed a poor hachability i vumparison with eggs from hens that were in addition given cod liver oil or ultra violet ray treatments . and were fed milk during the winter months. Incidentally, these treatments all increased considerably the produc- tion of eggs, and in some cases the percentage of hatching eggs from the heaviest laying hens was ac- tually higher than tue percentage in good layers, he declared. The wa General Motors Officials Welcomed by St.Catharines R.S. McLaug hlin Sees Greater Expansion For Company in the Future MEN'S NIGHT AT SIMCOE STREET SOUTH SCHOOL Home and School Club Func- tion Was an Outstanding Success : A most successful and enjoyable function was held at the South Simcoe street school last night when the men's night of the Home and School Association of the school was observed, the program being entirely arranged by the husbands of the members. The musical program was of nigh cal- ibre, and artists who took part he- ing called upon to respond to many calls for further contribu- tions. M. McIntyre Hood, editor of The Times, acted as chairman, and in a brief opening adress, stressed the value of the work being done by Home and School Associations in helping the education of the children. There were three agen- cies he sald, which had their part to play in the proper development of child life, these being the church, the. school and the home, but the latter was by far the most important. He urged parents to pco-operate with the teachers of their children so that they would obtain the maximum benefit from their school life. Mr. Hood also warmly congratulated the mem- bers of the South Simcoe Home and School Association for their keen interest in the work of the school, and the many contributions that had made towards making school life more pleasant for the children. hTe artists who took part in the program were Reg. Terrett, A, C. Henning, George Walsh and C. Cornish, A splendid school or- chestra under the leadership of Miss Casselman, provided excellent music and J. Crossman, the school caretaker, played a selec- tion on the bones, accompanied by Norman Williams. 8S. M, Clark, who was chairman of the committee, introduced the chairman of the evening to the audience, and also welcomed those who were present, At the close of the program, re- freshments were served, and a very: pleasant social period was spent. MEN AT COBOURG ARE IDENTIFIED AS HOLDUP PAIR Montreal Man Claims They Were Implicated in Murder (By Canadian Press) Cobourg, Mar. 6--Norman and Lawrence Manard, hold-up men who arc alleged to have kidnapped and robbed Constable Evans and H, Williams last Saturday, were today identified by L. Charron of Mon- treal, as participants in the murder of Earle Durham, when they attemp- ted to secure the payroll of the Charcoal Sapoly. Company, of Mon- treal, on Feb, 26. Charron was a witness to the hold-up and killing of Durham, They were © also identified by J. Maltais as the two men who robbed Hart's drug store at Montreal, on Feb, 28. The two witnesses were ac-* companied to Cobourg by Detective Ennis of Montreal, cost per dozen eggs and per d chickens was thus lowered. Mr. Snyder said that the results of the experiments showed the advantage of feeding' of milk and of either feeding cod liver oil or other source of vitamines or of supplying spec- ial glass to let the ultra-violet rays of the sun int the henhouse during winter months. J. W. Clarke, poultry breeder of Cainsville, spoke on poultry disease and sanitation of poultry houses, giving his own experiences in many housing problems of the poultry- man, W. M. Croskery, agricultur- al representative for Ontario county, who was instrumental in bringing these men to Oshawa from Whitby, where they are giv- ing instruction during the poultry, vegetable and fruit growing short courses, also spoke. The meeting was under the auspices of the Osh- awa Poultry Association, and was presided over by Warren Dear- born, president of the Association.
