Blanket of Mist Settles Down
Over City Today, Requir-
ing Caution.

! Foghorns were necessary part OF the
equipment of automobiles. street cars and
other vehicles early this morning, and
Washington streets sounded much like
the entrance to New York harbor on
foggy day. The obscurity was so great
shortly after = o'clock this morning. that
street cars We're forced to run at greatly
reduced speed in order to avoid collisions
with preceding cars or with wagons or
autos.
Very early risers declared today that
about ) o'clock there was no trace of fog
and say the blanket of partly CONCEALED
mist settled down with IA few minutes
after il started. The usual peculiarities
Of a Washington fog were observed In
some places the air was wholly clear and
view of the streets could be had for
several blocks, while within a short dis
lance of these clear areas the fog was
so dense as to make ii impossible to see
street cars half a square away.
Shifted Like Dense Smoke.
The fog rolled and shifted much like
dense smoke, covering section Of the
city in an impenetrable blanket for a
time, and then passing on to blind driv-
ers or pedestrians elsewhere.
Crews of interurban cars reported the
fog as bad to the east, west. north and
south of the city, and many cars were de-
layed from a few minutes to half an hour
in reaching the city.
The fog cleared away shortly after Q

cast of warmer weather for today was
speedily made good when the sun had a
chance to wedge its way through the
mist clouds and get in its work down on

Heavy Fog on the River.
Fogs on the river yesterday and this
morning were exceptionally heavy and
caused some delay in steamboat schedules
and gave the steamboat masters and
pilots some anxious moments as they
navigated their boats through the thick
mist cloud. The water in the river Is
still comparatively warm, and when the
temperature of the air falls to almost
freezing, as it has done in the past two
nights, it does not take long for the
fog to form.
The blanket of mist that covered the
river this morning was SO thick that
on the river, 1t is reported, for sew
eral hours the flag poles on the bows
of the boats could not been seen from
the pilot houses
AS a consequence of the fog the Nor
folk line boat was about an hour
late, the NJ, D. and V. line steamer from
Baltimore and the lower river landings.

until about II o'clock. and the steamer
Wakefield, from Nomini and Lower

o'clock today. At her wharf, foot of
Sth street, it was stated that while
nothing definite was known of her
whereabouts a message from her was
looked for at any time.

How TO get rid Of cimex Iectularius Is
told in bulletin just issued by the

likely to cause much trouble. according to
the experts. It Is supposed to hiber-

Is 'cimex lectularius? "Cimex" is the name
given by the Romans, who were well ac-
quainted with it. "Lectularius' refers to
its habits, being a derivative Of 'lectus,"
meaning bed or couch" However.
in Boston they are called "chinches."
New Workers refer to them as red
coats" while in Baltimore they are
called mahogany fats" Elsewhere the
parasites are given a much simpler name.
Insect Displays Cunning.
With its long association with a higher
form Of civilization as embodied in man.
says the department bulletin, the insect
has acquired a certain degree of intel
ligence and wariness. It displays unusual
cunning In escaping the vengeance Of Its
enemies, both human and animal. It
makes use Of every possible means not
to be caught In the ''lectus" during the

OF benzine, kerosene or any petroleum

Just at this time there are a great

themselves these questions, Can l
grow beef cattle at profit?" Shall

There are great many things to
he considered in answering these
questions. Taking a general view of
things as they exist today. We may
consider the prospects for making
money in beef cattle as favorable. To
be sure, land Is high and feeds are
fairly high, but beef is high as well.
Cattle feeders the past winter have
made money. Breeding cattle are sell
Ing high. 1t takes money to start in
the business, but the indications are
that 1t will be long time before beef
cattle prices will come down. There
Is a shortage OF beef cattle that is
worldwide in extent. Today, Indiana
has smaller number of beef cattle
than at any time In the past ten
years. On Jan. l, 1913, according to
government figures. she had only

numbers by eighteen other states.

Poultry Department Of New York

Practical Directions.

Eggs at present prices on the farm

directions for preserving eggs in wat

The commercial water-glass solu.
ton may be obtained from any drug
store at cost of about 20 cents a
quart Mix IL quarts of this solution
with eighteen quarts of pure water.
Water which has been boiled Is prefer
able. Stir these until they are thor
oughly mixed. Two eight-gallon jars
are sufficient for thirty dozen eggs, US
Ing the amount of solution as prescrib-
ed above. After the water-glass is
thoroughly mixed divide it into the
vessels TO be used. Be sure that the
vessels are absolutely clean. Place the

jars to prevent evaporation. Place
them in cool place where they will
be undisturbed during the year.
Preserve only absolutely fresh eggs.
Stale eggs will not keep in any pre-
servative. Have your preservative
ready to put the fresh eggs into as you
get them. If you are in doubt as to
their freshness, candle them, or see

eggs nor eggs which have been wash.
ed.
Water-glass eggs are practically as
good as fresh eggs for most cooking
purposes. If 1t is desired to boil them,
prick small hole through the large
end Of the shell before placing them
in the water. The pores Of the shell
have been sealed with the water-glass
solution, and without this pin hole the
expanding air within the shell would
