THE COST OF LIVING-THE
STRAPHANGERS EGGS.

Will some one please tell me the
name of the play where scene
something like this takes place:
The Attentive African brings to
the Amiable Aristocrat boiled eggs,
presumably for breakfast.
Tested by Whit of their odor,
the eggs do not please, and are or
dered removed.
The Attentive African humbly
complies, but while doing SO furtive-
ly smells of the condemned eggs him.
self, and then surreptitiously sets
them to one side, evidently with some
Interior object in view.
"Why don't you throw those eggs
away?' demands the Amiable Aristo-
|crat.
"Well" responds the Attentive A.
rican, ode fact is, Massa, dey may
be not quite good enuf to eat, but
dey's most too good to throw away
That illustrates the fix the New
York Straphanger is in about eggs.
The cost of living has started a
widespread hunt for food in the
neighborhood of New York.
Like Old Mother Hubbard, who
event to to her cupboard, to get her
poor dog bone," the straphanger
finds his own pantry short of bones.
So he thinks the bones must be hid
somewhere and has gone on the war
path after the wicked trust that he
suspects has been doing the hiding.
And with some success, as the fol-
lowing news special would indi-
cate:
"New York, Feb. 2d.-There are
100000 eggs-enough to provide
eight eggs apiece for every man,
woman and child in New York City,
and all it's boroughs-in one cold
storage warehouse in Jersey City.
The eggs have been there since last
March, it was learned, together with
100000 pounds of poultry, stored
since April last"
Now the most interesting feature
of that newspaper item is not so
much that those eggs have been in
cold storage nearly year, or that
the New York Straphangers are will
ing to pay from Iorty to fifty cents
dozen for them. 1t is the fact that
four or five million people will de-
liberately consign themselves to a
mode of life in place where, if they
get eggs at all, they must be content
with those that are mot quite good
enough to eat but most too good to
throw away"
Last week at Louisville, Kentucky,
a hen was detained" as evidence"
against an alleged negro chicken
thief, and while in jail laid an egg
in the keepers hat at the police sta
ton, fact justifying news item
Of four inches in length in the next
mornings newspaper, which shows
the Importance of the egg question.
Now that fresh egg, laid in Jail,
would have been a rare delicacy in
deed for New York Straphanger.
It also proves the adaptability Of the
hen, so far as locality is concerned.
And furthermore, it points the way
to the only solution of the "Cost-of
living" problem, which is:
If you want good fresh eggs and
plenty of them, go back to place
to live where you can have your own
poultry yard and eggs laid yesterday
for this mornings breakfast, and
broiled or roast chicken whenever
you want it that hasn't been in cold
storage since last April.
That means if you are now living
in a country town, STAY THERE.
If you move to big city, the COB
lin Of the HIGH COST OF LIVING
will "get you" no matter how much
you watch out"

force the craft upward as well as
forward. Two propellers in the
rear serve to move the machine
forward. The propellers on top
and in the rear and the side air
paddles will be 10 feet in diameter.
HOW 1T WORKS.
Two 70 horsepower gasoline
motors of light but strong con
structiOn, made at the factory es-
pecially for the purpose, will fur
nish the power for the four pro-
pellers and the side wheels. The
steel being used in the construc-
ton of the craft was made accord
ing to specifications especially for
the purpose at the Carnegie steel
works, Pittsburg, and shipped to
Spokane by express. The light
steel frame of the craft is rein
forced by wire trusting.
A pair of rudders on the rear are
designed to steer the machine,
much like boat is steered, or like
the steering on Curtiss or
Wright biplane. A series of small
Ell planes extending in front and
manipulated by levers in the hands
of the operator, are intended to
lower or raise the craft to diff
ferent plane in the air by fitting
upward or downward the front of
the machine. A similar apparatus
is used on the Wright and Curtiss
biplanes.
An idea of the arrangement of
the planes can be had from the
illustration of the model. A series
of levers and wheels in front of
the operator gives him complete
control of every working part of
the craft.
SOLVE EQUILIBRIUM PROBLEM
The Clark machine will, if sue
cessful, obviate the great problem
of equilibrium, the great stumbling
block in the way of the practical
use of the biplanes and other
heavier-than-air machines which it
has been demonstrated can fly.
The Wright and Curtiss biplanes re-
quire an expert operator, trained
by long experience and after many
falls, simply because of the diff
Guilty of keeping the planes OF the
machines horizontal to the ground,
which must be done if they are to
remain in the air. Once the planes
approach the vertical they are pre-
cipitated to the ground.
The Clark machine has it's cen
ter of gravity well toward the bot
tom, below the planes and where
the engines are located. If it flies
at all it will keep the equilibrium,
like a parachute, or like an open
umbrella falling from the top of a
house with rock tied to the
handle.
For the purpose of demonstrate
ing the Clark air craft, it's inventor
has allied himself with the AL G..
Barnes circus, and his demonstra-
tons, the first one to be this week,
will be one of the free shows of
the circus. If the trials here are
successful during carnival week
the craft and its inventor are to
accompany the circus on the road.
