full thing, after all. when you come
to study it. In the first place. the
shell. which looks like perfectly
smooth. continuous substance. is n
very curious structure. made up Of
two layers Of limy, or "calcareous"
matter. and full Of little pores. or
canals. very much after the same gen.
eral plan OF your own skin. about
which your physiology has taught
you.
These little pores open both on the
inside and on the outside OF the
shell. and allow gases and odors to
pass back and forth through the
shell. II you are in any doubt about
this, lay an egg and an onion side by
side for day or two. then break the
egg, and see what strong oniony
flavor 1t has acquired. For this rea.
son. to keep the flavor Of an egg
sweet and fresh. 1t must never be left
where there are foul or disagreeable
odors.
Can you imagine the difference be.
tween an egg laid in a clean, sweet
nest.box, and gathered while 1t is
fresh, and another laid in a filthy,
bad.smelling place. and left there
long enough to become tainted by Its
surroundings? Which one would you
prefer for your breakfast?
More than this. the pores allow air
to pass to the inside Of the egg. and
even minute germs. These cause de.
cay. That is why an egg "rots." II
the shell Is covered all over with
some perfectly airproof substance
such as vaseline. or the material
known as "water-glass." the contents
may be kept perfectly fresh and
Jweet for long time. This is often
done when one wishes to pack eggs
'or winter use.

Convention Turns Down Plan To Move Headquarters From
 New Haven

Boston, Aug s-After voting by a large majority late yesterday not to move the headquarters of the order from New Haven, Conn.,, to Washing ton, D. C., the Knights of Columbus in supreme convention chose St. Paul as their meeting place in 1914 and then adjourned,
 The turning down of the. proposition to change headquarters also disposed of the plan to build a million dollar home for the order in the capital city. Considerable discussion marked the meeting.
 James A. FIaherty, supreme knight. sent the following cablegram to Pope Plus x:
 e'The supr eme convention Knights of Columbus in convention reamrms loy- atty and devotion to holy see and begs papal blessing.'' @
 New Haven, Aug. s.-The announce ment that the national convention of the Knights of Colum bus voted against the removal of the national headquar- ters from this city to Washington, D. C., will cause widespread satisfaction among members of the order here who have from the first been averse to the change contenanIateds< The order was founded in this city and the chief ex- ecutfve offices have always been here, housed in the handsome headquarters building of the order on Chapel street.
 Those who favored the transfer of the quarters chiefly members from the south, west and middle west; did so with the idea in mind that the change would make the quarters more central geographically, and -inasmuch as the~order had become national and even international in scope, changing from a merely local institution, it sehould have quarters at the national capital.
 The change would have been a dis tinct loss to the city, as it would have removed a large staff of office em- ployes and executive officers.
 Attempts have been made in former national conventions to change the headquarters, but as yesterday sentf- ment prevailed. in keeping in it this city,

 pr. Shirayama, of Tolio, at the meeting of the section devoted to trop- icaI medicine, asserted that students of the disease of beri-beri had been unable to discover the cause of the maIady. He had come to- the conclu- sion that if the disease was caused by deficiency of a certain kind of nutri- ment, there was no reason why 1t should not occur among other peoples than those of the far east.
 Dr. W. L. Braddon, of England de- clared that beri-beri was due to the use of rice which had been deprived of its surface layer of cells containing a1furone He recommended the aboI- ton Of quarantine for the disease, which had been proved non-infectious.

FOREST INSECT
RAvAGEs STOPPED


 By prompt campaign against a fourishing colony of bark beetles on the Ochoco national forest in central Oregon, the government is eliminating millions of feet Of timber.
 Some authorities claim that the amount of timber killed each year by nuaI loss from forest fires. Among g the most destructive of these insect enemies are the bark beetles, one of which, the mountain pine beetle, is re- sponsible for most of the damage on the Ochoco. forest. This deadly little in 1engthJ but bears the ponderous scientific name of Dendroctonus monti- colae Hopk., which being interpr eted, signifies killer of the mountain pine tree, discovered by Hopkins.
 It's methods, of. operation are inter- esting. The mature beetle bores through the bark of the tree and ex- cavates a gallery in the inner living bark and in the outer surface of the wood in which it lays its eggs,- When matched each young larva, or beetle grub, channels into this growing. DOT tion of the trunk, feeding upon the inner. bark. When full grown the lar
 
 or pupaI stage, becomes a beetle. This beetle then drills out through the bark in July, and, emerging into the world, seeks a., fresh tree and starts new generation. With this "chain-1etter' method, it soon infests a large area. The galleries or channels of the lar vac girdIe- the tree and kill it, and the Beetles presence is usually discovered, as it was in the Ochoco forest, by a patch of red brown dead pine trees in the midst of a mountainSide of green.
 In. fighting this forest scourge, the method recommended. by the Bureau of Entomology is followed. The sim pie removal of the bary of infested trees between October and July. while the larvae are still in the tree, is suf- hcient to kill them. The lumber may then be sold while & it's yet sound. On the Ochaco forest, however, there was no market, and the forest officers found that the cheaper and more eff fective method of control was to cut the trees and burn them befolAe the new broods of beetles could emerge. In 1921 the infesta ton was given a de- cided checkf by the cutting of $500 tres This summer the attack on the insects was resumed with renewed vigor, and 42 Iaborers, in charge of forest officer, cut more than 10000 trees. As a result of these vigorous the government apparently has the beetles under. control.
