73S Girls ENROLLED
IN brides SCHOOL"
KANSAS WOMEN ARE LEARNING
A REAL PROBLEM
OF LIFE.
Under New Management.

TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. 7.-There are
1888 Kansas girls taking the courses
in the brides school, at the Kansas
Agricultural College this year, and
when they complete their work next
June there will be that many prospec-
tive brides ready for homes, brides
who know what to do and how to do 1t
in keeping house properly. There
will be graduated 73S girls who will
never feed their husbands on sour
biscuitS or look dowdy In the new
dress just bought.
No one knows Just exactly how
many engaged girls there are in tho
school this year. The instructors can
only guess, and the best guess Is THAI
fully 500 Of tho girls now taking the
course at the college are already en-
gagged and that most of them will be
married before the end Of another
school year.
The course of study as listed in the
curriculum Of the Agricultural\College
does not say anything about brides
school," Instead there are listed GER
tain home making courses" and II
Is the work of the girls in taking these
courses that has denominated this
part OF the school work as the brides
school.
The work is all part Of the DO
nestle science department at tho big
state school, and It was organized
three years ago, especially as train
ing for prospective brides. 1t Is not
intended as a course Of study for those
desiring to teach domestic science or
become professional cooks, dressmall-
ers or manicure artists.

EGGS AT 10 CENTS SOON.
Busy Hens About TO Break the Corner.
Dealers Fear


CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-THE busy hen.
as never before, is threatening the
invested millions In the cold storage
warehouses; of the nations great cities.
Spectators pressed to the wall by
watchful and alarmed loan brokers
are said to be on the eve of opening
the doors Of the egg product" and
experts are making confident predla-
lions that we shall have eggs at Ten
cents a dozen in January.
Warm weather throughout tho
country is held accountable for the
unusual amount Of November's fresh
eggs. The hens, which usually cut
down their daily laying average on
the approach of cold weather in Oct
ober, have taken advantage of the ex-
tended term Of warm weather this
year to keep their nests supplied un-
til Thanksgiving.
Reports from cities east of the Mis-
sssippi river indicate the spectators
have been trying to absorb the fresh
supply, although extending their hold
ings beyond the safety limit. Already
they have been compelled to unload
cold storage eggs. In Chicago II is
estimated that 90 per cent Of the eggs
retailed are from the storage ware
houses.
1t is not believed the market can
stand the strain another week. There
are $4,000 more cases Of eggs in the
nations warehouses now than at the
same time one year ago. The exact
figure is 2.S6S,00O cases. Such a sur
plus in years past at this time almost
always has been followed by a dis
astrous break In the market. The sit
uation Is more acute, according TO
commission men. because spectators
have determined to continue to hold
up the public. This prevents rapid
relief of the market.
while fresh and storage eggs are
available in Il jobbing way at twenty
and twenty-one cents a dozen the re-
tail price has been increased to thirty
and forty cents a Dozen" one conf
mission man said. This, of couras,
has served to cut down the consulno-
ton, and the market is now in CON
dltlon where II is likely to go all to
pieces. unless there should be a -adl-
cal change in weather conditions.
Besides charging exhorbi,ant
prices. retailers are selling cold stor-
age eggs and leading customers to
believe they are paying for newly Laid
fresh eggs This practice cannot be
stopped without legislation making 1t
compulsory to mark held eggs 'stor-
age and date them.
almost identical conditions existed
year ago and many spectators lost
money the last month OF 1911. After
the turn 'cs the year, however. severe
wintry weather curtailed the produc-
ton and cold storage eggs advanced
from eighteen to twenty-five cents a
dozer. This season. unless we have
stormy weather after January /, ey-
pect eggs to sell down to ten cents
dozen"

The chief responsibility for the fal'-
ure of the Turkish army rests with
the Christians OF that army, says
correspondent writing from Semlln.
The Turkish solder is "the same
brave fellow he used to be-" but ne
was deserted by his Christian allies,
confused by his officers, and left by
his commlssariat to starve, while
mountains Of rice, bread, beans md
zwebaclk were piled up less than
twenty miles away.
In the battle of Kumanowo, says
the correspondent, twenty-five per
cent of the army was made up Of
Christians Armenians, Greeks. Bull
garians, Servans and Catholic Alba
mans. Not much confidence was
placed in the Bulgarians and Servians
but the Turkish leaders had no cop-
ception of the new unity of the Balkan
states and could not have imagined
that the Greeks, always bitter enc
mics of the Bulgarians, would favor
them. Accordingly, while the Bulga-
rians and Servians were GENERALLY en-
ployed In the munition trains, the
Greeks were put at the front, gener-
ally in charge of the artillery. When
the clash came the Christians prompt
ly deserted to the enemy, leaving the
guns unserved and disorganizing the
troop units. At the same time the
Bulgarians in charge of the military
supplies showed no desire to bring
up munitions for use against their
blood brothers, and when munitions
were at hand It was found that thou
sands of the cartridges were blank
and soap instead of shells filled the
cassions.

Herr van Jagow, the energetic po-

DYNAMITE CASES
 GO ID JURY SOON
EXPECTED THAT CELEBRATED CASE WILL BE DELIVERED
 TO JURORS IN 36 HOURS.

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 25.--The cases of the forty labor union of
 ficials accused of promoting the Me | Namara dynamiting plots in the Iron Workers strike against employers of non-union tabor will go to the jury within 36 hours or possibly sooner. At the close of argument tomorrow nght or on Friday morning Federal Judge Anderson will instruct the jury. It is understood the courts outline of the law as to what testi- mony shall be applied to certain de fendants will require about an hour
 The jurors then will retire to de- liberate as to the guilt of the men, who headed by FTankfM. Ryan, presi- dent of the International Association of Iron Workers, were brought here three months ago from cities scat tered from Boston to Los Angeles to figure as defendants in what is said to be the most important trial Of it's kind ever held in a federal court.
 The jury, to be asked to return a separate verdict for each defendant, is composed entirely of farmers or merchants from rural districts.
 The fact that the jury must vote on each defendant after considering the testimony, the court holds appli- cable to him is the basis for belief that yerdicts will not be returned in less than a day There are twenty six counts against each; 25 of which provides a maximum penalty of IS months imprisonment and one which provides maximum imprisonment of two years. The government con tends that the penalties for tine of fense charged are cumulative in the discretion of the court or a total possible penalty of 39 and one half years.
 The room in the federal building in which the jurors have been kept under guard for three months, today was made ready for the mass of ex- hibits to be turned over for reference during the jury's deliberations.
 These exhibits include Tevolvers, shot guns, pieces of internal ma chimes and clock work attachments used by Ortie E. McManigal and the McNamara brothers on the dynamit- ing expeditions; letters written by Olaf A. Tveitmoe and Eugene A. Clancy, San Francisco and J. E. Nun sey Salt Lake, who are charged with complicity in the Los Angeles Times explosion Bundles of other letters in which Frank c. Webb, New York: Philip A. Cooley. New Orleans; John T. Butler, Buffalo. and business agents of the Iron Workers union are accused of directing explosions on non-union jobs are also to be placed with the jury. District Attorney Chas w. Mlller's argument to the luTy today was devoted largely to re- viewing McNamara's confession. The district attorney maintained the con fession had been corroborated in ey- cry important detail
