TO EIGH EGGS
The ''Dczen" Coming Under the
Ban ard Larger Grade Of
Eggs will be The Result.

The congressional investigation Of the
problem Of high food prices is barely
under way, but already it has unearthed
somc facts OF startling nature. For
instance, there is tina; diabolical scbems
cs he hen breeders, exposed by Dr.
Wiley, to 70 manipulate The law OF he
reditafy tendency as to produce breeds
Of hens that will cheat in the size OF the
egg. The Wiley theory is that if eggs
were weighed, instead Of being counted
it would be found that the l40 egg hen
delivers as great actual value in hen
fruit as the 200-egg hen. But. as eggs
sell by the dozen in this country and not
DO the pound, it is largely to the advan-
tage Of hens to have breeds that will lay
smaller eggs, but more OF them.
In all of these Investigations, state
and national into the question Of wby
it costs so much more to lire now than
it did ten years ago, the ultimate CON
suner is getting a lot of interesting in
formation, and possibility he will know
in the end just whore 70 place the re-
sponsiblity Anyhow, he will be made
aware Of some Of the methods By which
he is being fiimfammed-
In France. says Dr. Wiley, they have
called halt on t, e small-egg hen breed
ers by abolishing the dozen measure
ment and substituting the pound. There
the 200-egg hen is not held in such high
esteem as she is in this country.

Vienna AstroIoger Points Out
How Comets Tail Could
Not Be Injured.
A MYSTERIOUS TRAGEDY
MAN AND A WOMAN WE'RE
FOUND MURDERED IN TAxicAs
is NO CLUE.
(American News Service)

Vienna, May 23.-Dr. Archenhold, a
celebrated German astronomer, has
been ridiculing the fears expressed
by the gases in the tail of Halley's COM
ct when it brushed the earth
He likened the passage of the earth
through the tail to that of an elephant
through cobweb. Moreover, the
earth's atmosphere acted like armor
in preventing dangerous gases and
such bodies as meteors from reach
ing the earth. He remarked that when
comets tail was near the earth
that there were always many shooting
stars" or meteOrs, to be seen.
A Mysterious Tragedy.
A mysterious tragedy in a taxi-cab
is reported from Pacy-sur- Eure, a
chauffeur and young woman. with
bullet wounds In their heads, both be-
ing found inside the car. which had
been standing whole day by the road
side. A carter passed the automo-
bile at 3 o'clock in the morning on his
way to work. II was then standing on
one side OF the road, and he paid little
was going home, he was surprised to
see 1t still at the same place. He told
the gendarmes, who proceeded to the
spot, and found two bodies inside. The
young woman had long been dead, but
the chauffeur, though he had been
shot twice in the head was still breath
ing. He was taken at once to a hos
pital, but there Is no hope of saving
his life.
1t was then learned that the couple
had come to Pacy-sur-Eure the even
Ing before, and had been at a cafe,
where they took drink. They drove
away soon afterwards. and there was
nothing to indicate any desperate reso-
luton on their part. 1t is supposed
that shortly after leaving Pacy they
put an end to their lives. Before doing
SO, however, the chauffeur thought OF
other motorists and to prevent a pos
sible collision at night. he took the
trouble to station the automobile in
which they were to commit suicide
well on one side of the road. A card
revealed his name and the identity of
the young woman. The chauffeur was
well known in suburban resort. He
was married. but 1t Is alleged, had been
separated from his wife and was liv-
ing with the young woman found dead
in the car beside him. He had pur-
chased the automobile by installments.
but had been unbaie to pay it off en-
ttrely, and was threatened with legal
proceedings. For some months he Is
said to have been in very depressed
state of mind.

CRASH INTO WAGON

What was probably the largest load
of telephone poles ever hauled out of
Richmond was that hauled yesterday
afternoon by Tom Swaner. There
were twentyfour poles piled on the
wagon, the top pole being eighteen
feet above the ground.
At the corner of Eighth and South
E streets, a woman driving an auto
mobile, became confused and ran in
to the wagon. The front end of the
machine was caved in but the occu-
pants were not injured The heavy
load passed on as if nothing had
struck it.
