JAKE LOEB'S BACKERS.-A Tri-
bune editorial says: "Mr. Loeb, in our
opinion, is fighting this issue for the
children and for the community and
every parent should support him.
Yes, the Tribune is supporting
Jake Loeb, the fire insurance agent,
for president of the school board, and
would have its readers believe it has
the interests of the public school
children at heart. But is that the real
reason for the Trib's interest in
school board politics?
Let's see. The Tribune building
stands upon land which belongs to
the public schools of Chicago. The
Tribune pays rent for that land. 1t
is loop land, at the corner of Madi-
son and Dearborn streets. Year by
year as Chicago has grown in popu-
lation and loop interests have main
tanned the loop congestion for their
own selfish purposes, rental values
have gone up on land all around the
Tribune building, but it hasn't gone
up there. The Trib is paying the
same annual rent is paid years ago.
And the reason for it is that at a mid
night session Of a Tribune-cOntrolled
school board years ago the lease was
fixed so that there can be no change /
in the Trib's rent during the entire
term of its 99-year lease. Land all

zEPPELINs PROVE THEMSELVES TO BE
 ALL SEASON CRAFT

London, March 29.-F'igures pre- pared by the British Meteorological Of fee show that zeppelins are to all in tents and, purposes Independent of weather conditions.
 Generally, the assumption has been that zeppelins are fair-weather craft, and dare venture forth only in light airs and on dark nights, that even moderate winds were dangerous to them, and that snow would be fatal, but every one of these theories is dis proved by the official figures for the twenty-one occasions on which they have visited England. The ZeppeIins have come in virtually every phase of the moon, from new to full. They have had the wind from every quarter of the compass, and with wind that has ranged from Tight airs'' to strong breezeS.'' The thermometer has rang ed from freezing to sweltering sum mer heat. There have been skies of every variety; there has been mist on several occasions; rain still more of ten. During the raid of March 5 there was winter weather of consid- erabIe severity, with heavy snowfall in progress and squalls of wind. Bombs were dropped upon one town during a snow squa11 so bitter that the local papers spoke of it as a blizzard The official wind figures show that two raids took place in a wind of 25 to 3l miles an hour.

DON'T SELL EGGS
 FROM INCUBATORS
Use Such Eggs at Home or for Chick Feed, as Putting Them on the Market Tends to Lower Prices.

Washington, March 29.-The mixing of eggs taken from incubators with other eggs sent to market, as the prac- tice has grown from year to year, has tended to lower the average prices of fered for spring eggs by cold storage
 packers, who are important buyers at this season. Spring shipments of eggs, free from incubator eggs, are of such good quality that packers do not have to go to the extra cost of candling each egg before storing it. Such eggs can be clicked" three at a time, to detect cracks, and quality is determin- ed by the fresh powdery look of the shell. These measures. however, will not detect eggs which have been incu- bated and failed to hatch and which are useless for storage purposes, be- cause even if not actually rotten when stored they soon become so.
 When the egg packers are forced to candle, they quickly determine accu- rateIy the average number of incu- bator eggs to the case from the differ ent collecting points and regulate their prices accordingly. In final analysis, therefore, the country shipper is paid on the average for just what he ships to the wholesale center, and he in turn bases his payment to the pro- ducer on his own returns.
 The eggs removed from an incuba- tor because they are inferti1e, while not fit after such heating for keeping, and not good for boiling or poaching, may, if used at once, ibe fried, and are good for cake and certain other baked foods. Such inferti1e eggs,i more over, make one of the best feeds for early chicks and many poultrymen use all their infertile eggs from incuba- tors for this purpose: The farmer, therefore, would be 1ise to use such acrc a =af n mix them with his spring eggs. He should send only fresh eggs to market and should try to sell to the country collector or store, on a strict quality. basis. fIncubator eggs when they reach market are classified as LOW Grade No. 2,'' and the presence of any of them in a case reacts unfa- vorably on the grading of the entire 30 dozen at the hands of the first
