PHILADELPHIA, Pa, December "a
Seventeen additional stations for the sale
of eggs at "a cents a dozen were put in
operation today by members of the
Housekeepers' League. A total of fifty
nine stations are now engaged in sup
plying the demand for lower priced eggs
in the campaign opened by the public
spirited women Wednesday. More than
100000 eggs have been sold to thrifty
housekeepers, and retail dealers by the
score are offering the managers Of the
crusade assistance in disposing of the
eggs.

today and crate after crate Of the eggs

Two Million Sold Yesterday.
More than 100000 eggs were retai.ed
at "a cents a dozen by the league yester-
day in the campaign to reduce the price
of living. Six thousand crates Of thirty
dozen each were distributed to the settle
ment houses, stores and private dwellings
before closing time, and were all eagerly
purchased. Although 5000 cases were
sod Wednesday, the demand yesterday
was even livelier.
Plans to Increase Sales.
Mrs. Derr, the president of the league,
last night, issued a call for additional
volunteers to aid in selling the eggs and
for more automobiles to distribute them
in order that still large quantity may
be- disposed of. She says the supply is
practically inexhaustible and she pro-
poses 'to continue the campaign until
the retail dealers who have been main
tanning high prices have been taught a
thorough lesson"
The retailers made a general reduction
in their prices for storage eggs, but few
were as low as the prices set by the
Housekeepers' League.

Attacks Constitution Trainers.

Senator Gore assailed the trainers Of the
Constitution because they had not Crap

to face and feet to feet" He admitted
the problem was a hard one. but added
that the American people had settled il
politically by sending both the knock.
kneed republican elephant and the bow
legged bull moose up Salt creek, both OF
them being regarded as equal menaces to
navigation"
Turning upon Representative Sulzer he
scored him severely for having left out
of his previous political discussion all
mention of bow legs. and predicted that
Sulzer would not have the courage to
mention the subject even once in his COM
ing inaugural address. He concluded:
1T is not necessary for us to prove
that knock knees are greater menace to
navigation than bow legs. We have mere
ly to maintain the equality of their OBJ
struction. 1 lay down three propositions,
which are seif-evident. First. that bow
legs and knock knees are Of equal OBJ
struction to civilization. That wins our
point; for when bow-legged man
crosses his legs he is knock-kneed. and
when a knock kneed man crosses mis- legs
he is bow-legged. Second, things which
are equal to the same thing are equal to
each other. Bow legs and knock knees
are equally deformed. therefore they are
equal to each other More than that, one
force is that action is equal to reaction
in a contrary direction. That makes out
our case"
Hammond in Despair.
John Hays Hammond shook his head in
despair. He declared that all arguments
seemed to be irrelevant-even incompe-
tent-and that he was perplexed as to a
decision. Just then a telegraph messen-
ger handed him a cablegram. 1t was dat
