A Difficult Question.

Your advice has helped more than
one girl, SO come to you for the first
time, hoping to be helped also. Z
have been engaged to a young man
for year, but we do not feel able
to marry now and probably will not
for two or three years. What we want
to know is, Is it right for us to still
be engaged, knowing this? We have
talked of breaking the engagement,
but as yet we have not, not knowing
which is best to do. I do not believe
in long engagements. We are both
anxious to do the right thing, what
ever that is.-Unhappy.

ENGINEERS DEBATE
MORAL CHARACTER
Whether or Not Such Clause Be En-
bodied in Bylaws Causes
Lively Squabble.

To be or not TO be OF good moral
| character" was the question which
greatly agitated the members of the
Washington Society of Engineers at their
annual meeting at the Cosmos Club last
night. The matter was brought to the
attention of the meeting in Connection
| with an amendment to section of the
| bylaws relating to a membership and ad-
mission of new members which adVo-
| Gated that all persons of good moral
character shall be eligible for member
ship" &c
A motion was made to strike out the
words of good moral character on
the ground that the board of directors
| had the power 10 reject the application
of any candidate who lacked that quail
fiCatiOn. and that II was not necessary
to insert the words in the bylaws. IT
was also remarked by one of the MEM
bers that the word ''cOwardice" did not
appear in the English army reglement
for the simple reason that there was no
such thing as cowardiCe in the English
army. 1t was argued that there was
nothing but good moral character"
among the members of the society and
that the embodiment of these words in
the bylaws for that reason was entirely
guperfiuous. After a lengthy discussion
the section which advocated the adoption
qualifications of members and candidates
was tabled by a vote of So to as Among
other minor changes in the bylaws
was one whereby a member may be
dropped from the membership list whose
dues are in arrears for nine months and
fails to pay up within thirty days after
notification.
The report OF the secretary, J. c. Hoyt.
showed the total membership of the So
ciety is 5G6, having made n net gain of
three members during the last year; Is

PRICE OF EGGS DROP
THIRTEEN CENTS IN DAY

1t is said the unexpected always hap
pens. This at least was true yesterday,
when the housewives of Washington
ordered eggs from their grOcerymen.
They were surprised to find the price
Of eggs had dropped Is cents in sin
gle day Egg prices took a tumble
yesterday, dropping from around So
cents a dozen to % cents. The most
agreeable part of the surprise is that
the low prices will continue during the
greater part of the winter.
The sudden drop in the price of eggs
was due to a get together meeting of
all the prominent retail egg and butter
dealers in the city. Just at present
eggs are cheaper in Washington than
in any other place in the country.
Retail and cold storage men yester-
day explained the unexpected drop in
the price of eggs was due to the warm
weather and the immense stocks of
eggs held in storage in the West. MIL
lions of dozens of eggs. it was stated,
are held by storage companies in Chi
cago and other Middle Western points.
No large supply of new-laid eggs is
coming into Washington from nearby
points, and dealers who handle strictly
fresh eggs are still getting fancy prices.
Fresh eggs are quoted at from 45 to
20 cents dozen. The storage eggs which
are selling at % cents a dozen. however.
are good stock. The present supply of
storage eggs is about 5000 cases. This
supply is not more than sufficient to last
longer than week, however. this will be
replenished by large shipments from the

Horace Kearney's hydropIane, together
with portions of a vest and shirt worn
by Chester Lawrence, kearney's pas
senger on the fateful journey of the
"Snookums" from Newport Bay last
Saturday, seems to furnish undisputable
evidence that the air voyagers fell into
the ocean between Point Vicente and
Point Dune and lost their lives in the
heavy sea running at the time.
The grewsome relics were found, on the
rocks near Barney's camp, four miles
south of Redondo. The garments were
badly torn, the vest being ripped from
top to bottom down the back, and the
shirt was torn almost to shreds. The
pontoon was badly battered, and to all
appearance, was torn forcibly from its
fastenings by the elements. The twisted
rods and the dented condition of the
hollow cylinder gave evidence Of a
terrible ordeal through which the two
men likely passed.
