The Department of Agriculture is en-
gagged in new endeavor-to discover the
secret of prolonging the freshness of the
fresh egg. Many are the times when
this problem has been approached be-
fore. The history of mankind is Strewn
with instances of failure to solve it fully
and satisfactorily. Perhaps this desir-
an" result may never be reached. But
Secretary Wilson and his experts have
done so many things that they have no
hesitation i'll attempting this. Milo
Hastings, who is aiding and abetting
Secretary Wilson in the endeavor, has
found that the amount of moisture III
the air surrounding an egg makes for all
most as much as the temperature in de-
termining the length of time that The egg
keeps fresh. An instrument for regulat-
ing the amount of moisture IN cold stor-
age plants is the desideratum, Mr.. Hast
ings thinks, and this is to be supplied,
1t will be gay feather in the cap of
the Secretary of Agriculture if his latest
quest succeeds

The German yachtsmen who brought
sender yachts over the sea for racing off
Marblehead only to be defeated, make
the usual remark that American boats
win because they are designed for home
conditions. This comment has been made
ut different times by American yacht
owners who suffered disappointment in
British waters, and it is weighted by n
large measure of truth. But the Ger
man yachtsmen made another remark
which should receive more than passing
attention. They declared on leaving that
they do not think there is the slightest
possibility of challenge for the Amer
ica's cup coming from Germany until
the rules are changed 20 permit seagoing
schooners to come over for the coveted
mug. America is noted for her sea-go-
ing schooners and American yachtsmen
would prefer to race with schooners be-
cause they are safer than big sloops.
The rules require no changing, ms the
deed of gift provides for schooner rae
ing, and the Germans should have their
attention called to this fact.

The conspicuous feature of the British
yachting year was the close contests be-
tween the yachts White Heather and
Shamrock, the latter Sir Thomas Lip
tons latest trial cutter. Last year the
Shamrock had things all her own way,
but slight alterations of the underbody
of the White Heather during the winter
put her on par with the newer yacht
and demonstrated that Great Britain
has a model from which an America
cup challenger may eventually be
evolved. The White Heather's change
of form recalls the famous American
schooner Sappho, which was failure
during her first season, when she raced
in British waters, but which after alter
alton of her underbody defeated every
thing in Great Britain and America so
often that she occupied a class by her
self and was without contestants. This
famous craft was sold to an Italian
count, who after wearing off his yacht
ing enthusiasm, permitted her to go to
pieces on the tide flats at his home.

The point in regard to the confessional
which is made by Cardinal Gibbons in
commenting on the New Bedford case is
easily comprehensive. In that case a
judge permitted woman to relate on
the witness stand what she had told a
priest in confession. The Catholic priest
receives what he hears in the confess
sional as sacredly confidential and will
die rather than reveal it. The ''penitent,'
however, breaks no obligation in telling
what he has said

TWO NEW LINERS
FOR COAST TRADE
San Francisco and Portland S.
S. Co. Lets Contracts for
Big Steamers
Especial Dispatch TO The Call

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, April 21.-
Contracts for the construction of two
large freight and passenger steamers
TO cost in the neighborhood of $780,
600, for service on the Pacific coast,
have been secured by the Newport
News ship building and drydock com
pany. 1t is understood that the ships
will be constructed for the San Fran
cisco and Portland steamship company,
and will be used on the line between
San Francisco and Portland, with the
steamship Kansas City. which was pur-
chased by this company several weeks
ago.
The ships. it is understood, will be
400 feet in length, and will be of the
highest type of combina tion passenger
and freight vessels, equipped with the
latest and most improved auxiliary
machinery used on craft of this type,
and having engines capable of driving
them at the rate of more than II miles
an hour.
The vessels will be sister ships
which means that the actual work
thrown into the yards Immediately will
be considerably larger than Ii two
vessels of different type were to be
built. One set of drawings can be
issued for the two, and the erection of
the structural steel work for the two
craft can go forward simultaneously.
The contract for the vessels specifies
that they shall be delivered as soon as
possible. on the Pacific coast.
