$50, 900 900 EGGS SHIPPED FROM
UNITED STATES IN YEAR 1919

UNITED STATES IN YEAR 1918
Twenty-one million dozen eggs were
exported from the United States in the
fiscal year 1913, against 100000 doz.
en- ten years ago and $4,000 dozen
twenty years ago.
The figures of the bureau of foreign
and domestic commerce of the depart
ment of commerce show exports in
1913 of 2O,409.390 dozen eggs, valued
at $4,391, ,653, and of yolks and canned
eggs $67.S54, bringing the grand total
of eggs exported clearly above the 21,-
100000 line, or over 250.000,00O eggs.
This brings the total vaule of all eggs
exported practically up to s4.50O,O0O in
1913, against s332O7 in 1898, twenty
years ago, s325,571 in 1908, and then
steadily advancing to S4,391,6 ,653 in
1913, indicating that the $5,00O,0 900 line
will be crossed by the exports of the
current fiscal year.
Meantime considerable numbers of
eggs were imported, the figures for the
fiscal year of 1913 being: Eggs in the
natural state, 1,271,765. dozen; yolks,
227,457 pounds, and dried eggs, 20,2S4
pounds, the import figures of 1913 be-
ing materially in excess of those of
1912, which showed eggs in the natural
state, 1,09S,6S6 dozen; yolks, S9.744
pounds, and dried eggs, 5,555 POUNDS,
but much les sthan those of certain
earlier years, the imports of 1892 hav-
ing been 1900, 900 dozen.
The average price at which the 81
90 dozen eggs were exported in
the fiscal year 1913 was 211a cents per
dozen, and the average price at which
the 1,271.765 dozen eggs were import
ed was Is cents per dozen.
The eggs exported go to practically
all parts of the world, but the bulk of
them to Canada, Cuba. Mexico and Cen
trail America. OF the 20,500.000 dozen
eggs exported in 1913, 12,750,OOO dozen,
or considerably over one-half of the
total went to Canada; nearly 100000

Those Tax Increases.

Democracy has claimed that taxes
will not be increased under this admin
istration, yet this claim cannot be sus-
tanned when it is remembered that the
state tax commission has more than
doubled assessed values against all
assessors to increase values on their
local assessment rolls. The only reas-
on in the world for increasing values
is to get more taxes for Democratic
payrolls.
The state tax commission has made
its report to the state board of equal
fzation recommending increases in all
made. The majority report by Link
and Phillips recommended a total in
crease in the valuation of local prop
erty of s1S6,551 $500. The minority
report, signed by Adams, recommended
total increase of $115, 1924, $500. Al
ready a number of counties, including
Denver, have notified the state board
of equalization that if it o. KS
either the majority or minority re-
port they will not extend the assess
ment on the tax schedule. The mat
ter will be tested in the courts and
finances of the state will be tied up
during the time the test is made.
The followini are increases recon-
mended in the majority report which
will probably be accepted by the
board: Adams county, $27,321; Ala
mosa. s1,51O,626; Arapahoe, s35,61O;
Archuleta, s149,55s; Baca, s277, $50;

every morning tailleur one may observe
either a small muff and short neckpiece
or A snug stole of wide and generous
dimensions, together with a muff OF
equally huge proportions being worn
with every costume. For this IS the age
OF fur elegance, and, where formerly one
wore their handsome furs on high days
and holidays only, we now don them
upon every occasion, regardlessly.
Even with the simplest of morning
frocks. for street wear, one observes IT
when handsome furs are worn with 1t.
Such furs may be of black or dyed
fox, and, given such, one may disguise
even ones second best suit so its own
tailor wouldn't know it.
Gowns for luncheon and matinee wear
are really the most alluring backgrounds
for the newer fur modes to disport them
selves against.
For instance, a gown of crepe poplin
or of plain or hrocaded plush, broadtail
eloth-a well Liked imitation fur cloth
or of faille de laine, becomes sumptu-
ously regal when trimmed with bands of
fur, either dyed or in familiar natural
colorings.
The styles for such gowns, while rath-
er simple of line, present numerous OPP
portunities for the application OF fur
trimmings. Every ripping oyerskirt
edge may be fur edged. The slashed
hens OF the skirt must be fur defined.
If one dislikes to introduce dark toned
furs upon delicately tinted fabrics all
YOU have to do is to dye the furs. The
Overs have color cards for you to con-
suit.
The favorite shades are minaret yell
low, foxglovc blue, Czarine purple, the
Hague blues, Bermuda pink and Toxic
grays; wide range of shades, any one
of which becomes most successfully re-
produced in mole, fox, caracul, or mouf-
flon furs.
One must not, and need not, be dis
MAYED by their natural deduction that
fine furs are too expensive for every, one
to possess. If dyeing furs and combin-
ing them has produced nothing else, it
has placed them within the reach OF
every woman's pocketbook. She will be
as smartly attired in inexpensive skins,
cleverly dyed to simulate high-priced
fur. as her more fortunate sister, who
is able to buy the exclusive original.

ASK PROTECTION FROM MOTORS.
During IL Months in New York 416
Users of Highway Have Been Killed.

New York, Dec. 9.--During the eleven
months past, 4l6 users of public high
ways were killed and 2,l49 injured in
this state by automobiles and other
motor vehicles over which the victims
had no control, according to statement
made last night by Mitchell May, secre-
tary of state. in majority of the
cases, no Investigations We're conducted
to determine the responsibility.
In commenting upon the automobile
death rate, Mr.. May said it was appar-
ent that "there is something radically
wrong, both in the law and its enforce
ment, as this sacrifice of human life, al
most double that of last year, is too
heavy toll to pay for the advantages
of the automobile" In letter to Cow
ernor Martin Fl. Glynn, Secretary May
urges the necessity for new automobile
legislation. He asks that Governor
Glynn transmit to the legislation an
emergency message on the subject.
How to devise ways and means of
safeguarding pedestrians from reckless
motorists was the subject of a confer.
ence yesterday by directors of the East
Side Protective association and business
men of that section. A letter was sent
to Governor Glynn pointing out that the
lives of pedestrians in "this most CON
gested part of the city are virtually at
the mercy of reckless automobiles"

the existing danger.

NEW JERSEY AS A MINING STATE.
Second Largest Producer of Zinc-Turns
Clay Banks Into Wealth.

New Jersey is the only state of any
Importance as mineral producer in
which the utilization of the clay re-
sources constitutes the chief industry
and represents over so per cent. of the
total output of the state, according to
figures compiled by Edward w. Parker,
of the United States Geological Survey,
in cooperation with the geological sur
yey of New Jersey. The clay products
of the state have included every variety
of brick and tile and every variety OF
pottery produced in the United States,
as classified by the federal survey. The
value of the clay products in 1912 reached
the great total of Sl9,S3s, 553, of which
$4,000, 1888, or more than so per cent,
was represented by the value of the
brick and tile products and SS,935,920 by
pottery. This shows total increase
over 1911 of 81 ,660,325. In the value of
clay products in 1912 New Jersey ranks
third among the states, being exceeded
by Ohio and Pennsylvania. 1t is second
in the value of pottery products, and
fourth in the value of brick and tile
products. In 1912 it was first in the
production of china and sanitary ware
and ranked among the first five states
in the production of most of the varie-
ties of clay products.
Including the recoverable zinc content
of the ore produced in New Jersey, the
zinc produced in the state in 1912
amounted to 69,755 short tons, valued at
$9,626,l 9l, making the nc-mining in
dustry second in Importance in the state
and giving New Jersey second place as
a producer of zinc, Missouri being first,
The center of the zinc mining industry
in New Jersey is the famous Franklin
furnace district, in Sussex county, where
mining has been carried on continuously
for over so years.
Third among New Jerseys mineral in
dustries is the manufacture of Portland
cement, the production in 1912 being
4 ,490,645 barrels, valued at $3,052, 09S.
The value of stone quarried was Sl,7l6,-
500 and of sand and gravel $l,l48,640.
The only other mineral product of New
Jersey which exceeded 81 100000 in 1912
is iron ore, of which 366,s23 long tons
was produced, valued at Sl,l92,Sl6.
The total value of the mineral prod
ucts Of New jersey in 1912 was $780,

however, the price was sent down a
point beyond the earlier figure, to 70.
Then it went to 72s4 and dropped still
lower, to 7lh. The pronounced weak
ness of this stock was caused by I'M

NEW u. S. PHONE
OWNERSHIP PLAN
Postmaster Burleson Would Take Over
Long Distance Wires as
Initial Step.

Washington, Dec l0.-With the back
| ing of Postmaster Burleson, Congress
man Moon of Tennessee, chairman of the
House committee on postoilice and post
roads, is now preparing a bill for the
government ownership of the long dist
ance telephone lines.
The belief here is that this is the ini-
tial step in the plan for government
ownership of all the telephones and teie-
graphs.
As the result of conferences which
have been held between Mr.. Moon and
Postmaster General Burleson, the de-
cision has been reached not to attempt
government ownership of telegraph lines
outright at this time
The obvious effect of securing the long
distance telephone lines will be to put
the government in competition with the
telegraph companies, and il may pave
the way to the government taking over
the telegraph properties on something
like its own terms. Ii the plan now pro-
posed is carried out the government
ownership of the telephone lines would
be employed to undermine the telegraph
companies just as the parcel post is
being utilized to undermine. the express
companies. The government would use
its telephone and telegraph service to aid
parcel post as well as other postal
activities.
Postmaster General Burleson was ut
the White House yesterday, and it is
believed, talked the question over with
the president. Mr.. Burleson and Mr..
Moon are to have final conference in
day or two. Mr.. Burleson is eager to
have government ownership of inter

be framed in accordance with his ideas
