HOUSEHOLD HINTS
To Preserve Eggs.

To Preserve Eggs.
Now is the time for the practical
neusekeeper to preserve a supply of
eggs against the time when they
cost twice as much. The department
OF agriculture advises as follows:
Pure water that has been boiled
and then cooled should be used. To
each Is or 20 quarts of water add
one quart of water glass (which
can be obtained from the druggist)
Place the solution in jar or other
suitable vessel and add new-laid in
fertile eggs from time to time. keep
Ing two inches of the solution COW
ering the eggs. The eggs should
not be washed before packing.
Another pointer worth noting is that
certain breeds of chickens lay much
larger eggs than others. For instance
the incubator seller advertises that
machines hold 200 of the largest
eggs. or 240 Leghorns. While eggs
are sold by the dozen instead of by
weight one might as we'll get the
langest as found in the rich, brown
shelled eggs laid by the American
oreeds. The Leghorn is q four
pound bird and lays a white-shelled
egg, While the American breeds ay-
erage about seven pounds and nee
essarlly produce a superior egg.
1t is claimed that woody house
plants that grow a bark can be
strengthened and made to flourish
like the proveribal bay tree If given
iron water, soaked from rusted iron
and poured into the soil.
When eggs are broken and can
not be used at once they will keep
better II the shell be removed and
a quarter Of teaspoon of salt
beaten into the egg. They later
can be used for cakes or puddines.
In preparing bread for toast and
sandwiches. where the crust is to
oe removed. try using a pair of
sharp scissors to trim the edges. II
takes much less time and makes a
aeater job. Keep a pair of scissors
IN your Kitchen especially for this
purpose.
Just pefore a meal Is served. if
the dmllng room atmosphere too
plainly foretells what has been nre-
pared, open the windows a few sec
0nds ana pour a couple of drops of
lavender essence into a Gun 81 hoil-
ing water. The cooking odor will,
entirely disappear. VA"
Many people melt the butter and
then mix it with the sugar. This
makes the cake heavy and is always
prohibited In good cake baking. In
stead of this put the sugar in q
double boiler and let it get warm.
In this way 1t creams the butter
nicely and does not melt it.

urges Fourth Assistant Postmaster Cen

just submitted to the Postmaster Gen.
eral. The only way rural service ex-
penses can be equalized by receipts, he
contends, is by the supplemental service
Of arcels post delivery.
Last year the expenditures were ST.
10000 and the receipts $7,57O.OO0 FOR
rural delivery. For the present year $42,-
10000 has been appropriated.
MI. De 0r4w also urged the amendment
OF the civil service rule prohibiting the
transfer Of rural carriers to other
branches OF the postal service with the
object Of attracting q high class OF men
to the service. Superannuation legisla-
ton Is also urged.

ed from the stand taken at that time.
A number OF the men at last nights

fore President Taft. while others thought
that their object could best be accom-
plished by the committee OF thirty-six

Of the work now done here to other
yards. The statement is made that the

costs more than the same work would
cost were It done under contract at q
private machine shop elsewhere. and that
any serious labor trouble will simply re-
suit in the permanent abandonment OF
the washington yard except for minor
repair work. It is added that only Con-
gress can provide for any material and

Compared With Private Yard.

''The percentage Of macllinists at the
Washington yard receiving the highest
rate of pay is abnormally great, approx
mating 63 per cent Of the total number
of machinists employed. This percentage
is far greater than the percentage in any
civil establishment comparable to any ex-
tent to the Washington yard.
'Tn Washington it has been found that
the percentage of machinists receiving
city is q per cent. In outside CONNER
cial institutions, compared with the Wash.
ng on navy yard. this pc cen a is
probably in no cases exceeded, and. in
fact in the greater number is much lower.
I'm addition to the 1915 rate paid for
machinists hitherto rated as first class In
the Washington yard. there has long been
dollar rate for spec al mechanics.
This has been but little used, however,
partly owing to its having a distinctive
title, but the department believes that the
rating of nachin SITS by classes having
been abolished, and from the fact that
certain machinistS at the yard are I'M
doubtedly doing specialized ordnance work
of a high character, 1T would be justified
n authorizing the promotion to this pay

are now practically continuously engaged
in such special work.

to time by the commandant unit there

AGAIN TALK ST R|KE
Navy Yard Mechanics Insist
on Increased Pay.
TO FIRST APPEAL TO TAFT
Statement by Assistant Secretary
Winthrop Read at Meeting.
HIS CONCLUSIONS SECUTED
Machinists Have No Fear Of Aban-
donment Of the Warrington
Establishment.

The threat of trouble at the Washing
ton navy yard assumed more definite
form last night when Assistant Secretary
Of the Navy Beekman Winthrop issued
the reply Of the department committee,
consisting OF Assistant Secretary Win
throp. Rear Admiral Willis and CAPT
Beatty. commandant Of the washington
navy yard. to the demand Of the machin-
lists employed in tho yard ana the gun
foundry.
The committee refused the demands OF
the men for more pay. although q con-
cession was made whereby q certain pro-
portion Of the machinists will receive an
increase. which will bring their pay up to
81 per day. The committee in its state
ment proposes the establishment of three
classes OF machinists and skilled mechan-
les. the pay grading up from the mini
mum to the maximum, according to the
ratings Of the men.
Assistant secretary's Statement.
Following is the statement issued last
night by Assistant Secretary Winthrop:
After a careful consideration of the
representations made by a committee of
machinists from the Washington navy
yard, the department does not consider
that it would be justified in acceding to
their request to increase generally the
pay of the machinists hitherto rated as
first class
1T having been found impracticable to
base any comparison of the pay of ma
chinists at the Washington yard, number
ing over 1000. with the comparatively
few machinists employed in the city of
Washington, amounting In number in all
probability, to less than 200, 1t was de-
cided. a few years ago, to extend the basis
of comparison to a radius Of 80 miles.
1T has been claimed by the machinists
that this method operates to their disad-
vantage, owing, they claim, to the greater
cost of living in Washington than in the
other cities included in the comparison.
1t is believed, however, that even should
such be the case the difference between
the highest rate Of pay in Washington for
the hitherto f1rst-class machinist. as COM
pared with the corresponding rate Of pay
In the other cities, compensates for this
increased cost Of living. The highest pay
of machinists at the Philadelphia yard is
1882 per diem, and this rate Of pay is
governed by the local conditions there.
including the gun factory at Nicetown,
a commercial institution. where the high
est day rate Of pay is $3.50 for day Of
ten hours.
