The doctor appeared before the
committee with about a peck Of eggs

bag of salt and a big glass. In the
latter he mixed a strong brine solu-
ton.
IF you want to know whether the
eggs you are buying as strictly fresh
have really been laid this year" he
explained, Just take a glass, fill it
fun Of brine, as.I have done, and drop
the valuable farm yard product there
in If IT sinks to the bottom of the
glass the egg is fresh and worth the
money; if it rises to somewhere near
the top of the fluid. it is not as fresh
rs it used to be. and if it floats well
out Of the water it is Of the sort that
are supposed to be hurled at bad ac-
tors and isn't worth anything a doz-
en-"
The committee was interested i'm
mediately. and crowded around the
doctor as he proceeded to test the
eggs he had brought.
That's a fine, fresh egg" he OBJ
served. as one of the specimens drop

How do you know it is fresh?''
asked Congressman Moore (Rep. Pa.)
Because one of my inspectors was
at the hen house this morning and
saw it laid" replied the doctor tri-
umphantly.

ARE CONFIDENT

PHILADELPHIA, PA, March IL.
With the arrival In the city of State
Senator McNiohol and United States
Senator Penrose, who are expected
later In the day, and Recorder Ware,
who preceded them, the striking troll
leymen became more hopeful be-
tieving that these political leaders
will take an active interest in the
controversy and find some means
whereby the trolleymen may be taken
back in their old positions, thus
bringing to an end the general SYM
pathetic strike and averting the
threatened State wide walkout. At
q conference in Washington last
night Frank Feeney, former president
of the Central Labor Union, laid the
entire situation before the political
leaders, who went over 1t thoroughly.
Great confidence Ii expressed by
the labor leaders that at the SEES
sions OF councils to-day the attitude
which distinguished that body at Its
last meeting will not be so hostile.
and that under the direction of SEN
ator McNichol. who brought about a
settlement of the trolley strike last
Inne,-spme- IoephaIs- maybe found
for an adjustment.
Although It was stated at many
plants throughout the city to-day
that there had been steady return
to work on the part of the men who
had been out on sympathetic strike,
and the Transit Company announced
that 1t is steadily increasing the num-
Der OF cars in operation. the strike
leaders fostered the courage of their
followers by declaring that a settle
ment might come at any time and
that victory was certain.
Leaders of the State Federation OF
Labor declared to-day that they have
assurances from practically all of the
unions in the State that they will
join a State wide strike If called. That
the threatened walkout Is not ''al
uff'' was the statement made by
John ]. Murphy. president of the
Central Labor. Union. who declares
1t will be responded to Just as favor
ably as the general strike here.
