Frozen and Dried Eggs
To Help Housekeeper

Frozen eggs and dried eggs are two
forms Of that product that win even
tual'y enable 'the thrifty housewife to
combat the well-nigh prohibitive price
Of the fresh variety. according to DR.
Margaret e. Pennington. Government
egg expert, who testified before the
House Committee on Agriculture this
morning.
DR.. Pennington is in charge of the
Agricultural Departments research sta
ton In Philadelphia, and she laid a
large share Of the blame for high
priced eggs at the door Of the farmer.
Imperfect transportation methods,
poor packing, and the failure of farmers
to market their eggs properly have
much to do with present prices" said
DIR. Pennington. Frozen and dried
eggs will soon be marketed In small
quantities. and these the housewife viii
find are Just as good for cooking as
fresh eggs. A cold storage eg Is not
fit for food after ten months. but frozen
eggs may be kept year or more, while
died eggs keep much longer"

DECLARES SCOURGE
DUE TO VACCINATION
Pennsylvania Official Creates
Sensation at Meeting OF
Anti-VivisectioDists.

The continued prevalence Of smallpox
in Europe and America is solely due to
the continued practice Of vaccination, ac-
cording to the positive declaration Of
Porter F. Cope, before the International
Anti -Vivisection and Animal Protection
Congress in session at the Raleigh Hotel
today. Mr.. Cope, who is not only a
scientist of renown but the son Of an
equally famous scientist, is a member of
the Pennsylvania State Vaccine Com
mission and Secretary of the Anti-Vivi--
section League of America.
Many diseases, like plants" Mr.. Cope
stated, "are the creatures Of habitat
and environment. They are native to
certain regions. and if found in others
are present ony by Importation. small
pox. bubonic plague and yellow fever,
for example. originally evolved In one
or more places on the globe, where the
conditions necessary for their develop
ment existed. and were carried into
other places by importation.
The tropical regions Of Asia and pos
sibly those Of Africa. appear to nave
been the natural loca tiles of smallpox.
The disease first appeared in south
eastern Asia IN remote antiquity. un-
der local conditions and special circum-
stances. Outside its native places, II
is solely an imported disease. kept awe
by the dissemination Of its specihc con-
tagium.
Local Propagation to Blame.
1.-The continued existence Of smallpox
in Europe and the Western Hemi-
sphere, despite the carrying out oil
quarantine isolation, and disinfection,
must, therefore. be due either to con-
stantly renewed Importation or to local
propagation. Our strict regulations at
ports of entry are sufficient evidence
that il is not due to the former.
THAT It is due to local propagation
by vaccination is the plain testimony Of
facts.
by vaccination the living germs of
smallpox are sown in the blood OF peo-
pie. Nearly all the virus used for vac
cination is derived from human small
pox matter, modified Or attenuated by
cultivation In the skin Of animals not
naturally subject to the disease, such
as the monkey and the calf, and by
mixture with glycerine and by dilu-
ton with water. When this virus Is
kept too long or at an insumciently
low temperature. it is capable OF re-
yerting to its original character and OF
giving rise to outbreaks OF smallpox,
provided the sanitary and hygicnic con-
Jitions are such as to encourage sucn
s.The mild OF 'atypicaf form Of small
box now prevalent in the United states
started to spread in lS9s. when siycerl-
mated vaccine lymph was first intro:
duced. Before that time the virus used
Tor Fascinating was more virulent, and
more yirulent smallpox was the result.
Doctors Surprised.
Mr.. Cope's statement created a sensa-
tion among the gathering. and espe-
cialIv among, the physicians present.

While egg prices are lowered, the De-
partment Of Agriculture in a bulletin
today shows a poultry loss which it is
feared may cause price Increases. The
spotlage Of dressed poultry during the

Thanksgiving caused the loss of $10a,ooo
IN New York city alone, the department
says. and large losses in other centers.
Such q universal waste as has taken
place in the Thanksgiving poultry sup
ply is almost a national calamity" the

gested BY the department through its

WASHINGTON Is WAITING
Not Prepared to Announce Its Next
Step.

MOI prepared 10 announce It's Next
Step.
Washington, May Probably not
until the legislative status of the sub
stitute alien land owning bill clarifies
will its be possible for the admins
tration here to determine upon its
next step.
There is little expectation here that
the assembly will reverse the action
of the senate in view of the reported
breaking down of party lines in the
legislature, ut it is believed that the
delay may improve the chances for
the introdu zion of some amendment
on the lines of the Webb bill, which
presumably would have received the
approval of the national government.
In explanation of the reluctance
shown by Secretary Bryan to commit
himself to the unqualified approval of
any specific measure it is pointed out
by officials here that the administra-
tion desires to be quite free of the
charge of attempting to control the
proceedings of the legislature, confin
ing itself to the effort to limit the leg
islation within treaty rights and SOUND
national policy.

states.
The $1,000, 100000 construction fund

The states would be required to de-
posit in the United States treasury

The government would then loan
the states the par value thereof for
road construction, the government
raising its fund by the sale of fifty.
year nontaxable per cent bonds.
