ANCIENT EGGS HELD
DELICACY In GOTHAM
Expert IN Notable Case Asserts Three
Year-Old Frezea Article
l. Good Food.

New York, Aug. s.-That old eggs are
really the best, and that no one shouid
scorn the delicate hen fruit because II
happens to be q few years OF age. or
even old enough to vote. II the surpris-
ing testimony just rendered py an ex-
pert witness in hearing now gong on
to determine the status Of 400 cans OF
frozen eggs seixed by the government
three years ago.
The witness testified that these aged
eggs were perfectly wholesome. and as
evidence told of feeding them to his
family and workers in his laboratory
without any Ill effects When the health
sharps at the hearing seemed tncred-
ulous. the expert explained that to keep
eggs for few years Is really notning
compared to the feats Of the Chinese.
who preserve them for INDEFINITE PERIODS.
He recalled, that when Ii Hung-Chang
visited America he brought with him
eggs 100 years old, because there were
none in this country old enough to suit
his palate.
While the eggs have been ripening In
storage in Jersey City the Federal courts
have been wrestling with the problem
Of their fitness for food. Judge Gross,
Of the United States District Court. de.
cided that the government had not
proved its case against the eggs. he
was reversed by the Circuit Court Oh
Appeals, whose judgment was In turn
set aside by the Supreme Court OF the
United States, on the ground that 1t was
without jurisdiction. All that now stands
between the eggs and the public Is the
want Of an order of the State Board OF
Health releasing them from storage. AS
the latest reports show that the colo
storage eggs on hand In the United
States amount to over s,ooo,ooo Dozen
this case has attracted particular atten-
ton for more reasons than one.

EIepen Dogs and One Cr0w
Special Pets of Firenpen


contemplating splitting his tongue with
the hope Of making him more eloquent
and Ineligible.
When the gong rings and the ticker
be ins to click. the crow nearly always
flies into the ONCE to learn where tn
fire Ii. He perches at night with rs
pigeons belonging to the fremen, and
bestirs himself each morning at the hour
OF five. serenading the firemen from an
old wooden fence In front Of the engine
house.
Jerry . Robber.
Jerry Is a veritable Captain Kidd. He
holds up pigeons and takes their grain
away from them, and occasionally he
steals a bone from Jack. He eats his
I'LL. and then proceeds to hide the rest
Of his booty in holes and crevices near
the engine house.
Jack never thinks of harming Jerry. He
plays with him as he does with the chill
dren. Sometimes the crow tries Z:
wrench q bone away from the canina.
but Jack acts good-naturedly, and never
gets real rough. Whenever the gonS
sounds. no matter where he is, or what
he is doing. he comes running. He hur-
ries to the office. and frequently jumps
up on the table where the instruments
are, as II he were eager to read the tape
and learn where the fire is. Then tue
engine goes out. and he goes, too, leap
ing and barking and running until his
breath gives out and he Is forced tc
slacken his pace and pant in the wake
of the hurrying steeda The sweetes,
ham bone will not deter Jack when the
alarm comes in. He. will drop It, al
though 1t does taste very fine, and Join
the fire ladies.
Rags IL another interesting canine. He
Is the mascot Of Engine Company, No. g.
IN Delaware Avenue near C Street
Northeast. He is a shaggy looking little
oiack and white terrier, and his name
seems very appropriate. Rags looks like
tramp. and he il one. One night last
winter when the weather was cold and
tbe wind was keen. some of the men
found Rags shivering in front of the
engine house. They took him in and
have kept him ever since. They had a
nice big brass collar made for him. and
engraved on 1t are his name and ad-
dress.
Rags goes out on every run. When
the gong rings he hurries to the engine
house. should he be OUT prowling in the
street. and gets ready for the trip to
the fire. Usually he runs beside the
right hand horse attached to the chemi-
cal wagon. He travels very close to
the steed. and firemen fear that sooner
or later he will be killed by his reck-
lessness. Once already his head has
been stepped upon. Rags travels SO much
that his paws are sore continually, and
at night he sleeps on his back with
his legs sticking up In the air. Usually
he passes the night on a couch I'm the
hremen's quarters, but occasionally, for
change. he sleeps under the bed or
in a chair.

Names of Pets.
There are eleven such mascots in the
local Fire Department, and they are just
about as proud as can be: for in a day
or two Tax Collector Rogers will issue to
them, without cost. bright, new, glitter
ing tags. These dogs are the most in
telligent and best trained CANNES in the
city. They are faithful to their masters
and, needless to. say, the firemen love
them.
There are Tom, and Rags, and Bell
and Nell, and Jack, and Teddy. and Bub.
bles, and Mig. and Billikin, and Nell, and
Minnie. Among the most interesting OF
these is Jack. black-and-white bulldog,
belonging to Engine Company No. z. In
r Street Northwest. between Ninth and
Tenth Streets And Jack has COM
panion-a black one. and a very strange
one, too-a crow, named Jerry.
Now, some persons would naturally
conclude that there was not much peace
in a place where a crow and bulldog
were put together-that Is. not until
after some feathers had come out and
some crow had disappeared-but such is
the case at No. Z. Jack and Jerry are
the best of friends. and play with each
other day after day without ever getting
into a scrap.
Jerry was presented to the fremen
about month ago by a friend. and Ii
now possibly three months old. The
crows wings were clipped at first. but
now IL is unnecessary, for Jerry loves
his home. and has no intention of leav-
ing Unexpectedly. The bird does just
about as 1t pleases; flies around the
neighborhood, struts proudly up the
street, makes visits to the neighbors. and
plays with pigeons, cats, and dogs. Each
morning he flies to a grocery store at
the corner, perches on the bread box. and
squawks until the proprietor makes his
appearance with a supply of meat Jerry
makes another call later in the day for
dinner.
But alas! with all its precociousness,
the bird is kleptomaniac. The other
day one of the firemen took of his collar
and necktie and laid them on the window
sill Jerry came along, grabbed the gaudy
tie, and SCARED skyward. The fireman
has been looking for the neckwear ever
since. Nearly every day the crow goes
on plundering expeditions in the neigh
borhood, Selling any edibles he can lay
claw to- Some say that Jerry mas peen
seen preparing to enter neighbour
window and take off a spool Of darning
thread and a small pair of scissors from
the housekeeper's work basket.
The bird responds to the whistle of the
firemen, flying directly to them, and
alighting on their wrists. He thrusts his
bill in their faces and tries very hard to
talk. He squawks necessarily, and some
of the firemen say he has even succeeded
in pronouncing a word or two. They are
