A can opener that is intended for
quick work has been designed by an
Arkansas man. A spirally curved cut
ting blade that forms two heart shaped
sections Is attached to a q shaped
handle. At the bottoms OF the sec
tons are sharp points. To use this
tool the cook has merely to press down
upon it until it has sunk through the
top Of the tin clean to the handle,
then give the implement one twist
around and the entire top of the can
Is removed as swiftly and neatly as
any one could wish. Where a number
of cans have to be opened quickly this
device is an obvious improvement over
the type that slowly saws through the
tin. Furthermore, there is here no dan
ger of cutting the fingers on a jagged
piece Of lid

A scrambled egg can be made to
seem quite an important dish if a
tablespoonful of milk and a dessert
spoonful of breadcrumbs are mixed in
with it. Four the milk on to the
crumbs to soak them. Beat UP the
eggs in the usual way and stir the
soaked crumbs into it.
Scramble all together lightly and
quickly. A single egg done IN this way
seems as much as two done by the
usual method.

GONG AGAIN ION THE JOB
Tolls Half Hours for Post Office De.
partment EMPLOYEES,

The cathedral gong of the great electric
pendulum clock, located on the north side
of the inner court of the Post Office De-
partment building, is again ION the job, -
and once more the half hours are tolled
with unfailing regularity.
The Post Office Department authorities
had this serviceable piece of time-an-
nouncing machinery installed in the great
court of the building some years ago,
when it was connected with the clock in
the tower and that with the United States
Naval Observatory, SO that both gave
what is known in Washington as ball
time. To make the electrical connec-
ton to insure the pendulum beats re-
qulred the delicate touch of an artisan
of skill. but Chief Clerk Merritt O.
Chance procured the man and there
after the cathedral gong announced to
the vast throng of clerks in the buildine
the exact time to come and go from their
daily tasks.
Later Mr.. Chance was transferred to
another sphere OF Usefulness in the pub
lice service and the gong ceased TO sound
Yesterday, however, Mr.. Chance had the
electrical connections re-established and
the great pendulum again swings to and
fro while the cathedral gong reverberates
through the court and corridors of the
big building as the half hours pass from
time to eternity

GRANT EIGHT-H0UR DAY.
Copper Miners Strike May Be
Broken hv New Rule.

CALUMET Mich. November Is
Belief was expressed here today that
the introduction of an eight-hour
working day for mine. mill and smelter
workers on December | will cause a
break in the ranks of copper mine strik-
ers. Early in the strike the mine
managers promised Gov. Ferris that
an eight-hour day would be in effect
by January /, 1914, and at a meeting
late yesterday it was agreed Monday
at all but a few shafts of the
Calumet and Hecla. In these shafts
the men work on contract basis. and
experiments will be made to deter
mine the best manner of applying the
shorter shift. Surface employees will
be given nine-hour work day.
Another announcement made by mine
managers is that they will devote
Tuesday afternoon of each week to
hearing and adjusting complaints and
grievances of employees.
The introduction of the eight-houl
day leaves only two of the original
demands made by the men last July
which have not been met-recognitior
of the union and adjustment of tn.
one-man drill.

FAIL TO COMPROMISE
ON BOYCOTT Of EGGS
Chicago Dealers and House.
wives Hold Futile TWo-Hour
Conference.

CHICAGO November 23-A cross Il
table on which reposed a lonely but
highly symbolic egg the housewives of
Chicago and the egg dealers, through
their representatives. met here today to
discuss the boycott being conducted by
the women.
The conference lasted two hours and
there was no compromise. The boycott
will continue. The wholesalers said the
high prices were due to a shortage and
that the boycott might be a good thing
for all concerned. as the abstemiousness
of the boycotters would tighten the task
OF the dealers who haven't eggs enough
to go around.
The women declared that every effort
would be made to enlist women through
out the country in addition to the 1Gu GOO
said to be in the ranks in Illinois.
Not Wanted at Meetings.

months. IF the eggs will not last six
weeks, or until the new crop comes, why
