 Try and keep yourself dressed in a cool manner. If you are staying in the house, a, loose gown made daint- fly always looks cool. One that shows your arms, if you have pretty ones, is coquettish and comfortable
 You can also take this time to i'm prove the appearance Of your arms. During the summer when the whole body perspires more than usual, the arms are particularly disposed to bleach out, provided you do not leave them uncovered when out of doors. Tn the morning rub them all over with the inside of the rind of a cucun- Der and let it dry on, or If you have the whey from cottage cheese you will find this a fine thing to bleach your arms. If you have fuzzy hair on your arms, you can remove this with a. pa1Lnice stone-don't rub hard enough to hurt the skdn-and af- terwards use cold cream on them. This is also the time to do your hair very simply and let it rest under a, becom- ing cap. Above all, make the days you stay at home days of calm enjoy merlt- Don't worry about anything.

BROKEN EGGS TO CLAIM ATTENTION
 OF U. s. EXPERTS

Washington, June 16-The trail of broken eggs that annually marks the path of the transportation lines will be wiped out or considerably diminish ed if shipping experiments being made by department of agriculture expehts are successful The tests being made are expected to result in the discovery of some method of packing the fruit of the hens which will eliminate vreak- age.
 In an attempt to disclose the great waste for which a remedy is being sought, the department gives official figures of the loss sustained in ship ments to New York city in 1909 alone In that year it was nearly 138, 900. 900 eggs or about nine per cent of all the eggs consumed. The fact that th9 supply demanded by the large eastern cities must come from long distances makes the problem of transporting it a serious one.
