of an active campaign waged by the
women who became particularly active
when the club moved its quarters from
the old site In Lafayette Park to its
present home on Farragut Square.
The club management has put force
OF carpenters and decorators at work
on ladies room that will be a little
club in itself. This room will be luxur-

ivory and gold color scheme. 1t will
contain private telephones, writing

rors, dressing tables with complete &C
ccssories, and the innumerable minutia
that appeal TO club women. This club

floor and overlooks Farragut Square.
As a consolation to bashful male
members or mysogonysists who may be-

District Markets Nav
Sell Eggs by Weight

The saying Of District housewives for a
lumber Of years that Eggs ought to
be sold by the pound" is liable to
change to a notice which will read:
Eggs sold by the pound" according to
Bernard Rover. local retail merchant
who has taken an active part in discus
sions of the Central Citizens Associa-
lions. concerning increased price OF food
in the District OF Columbia. Mr.. Rover
is a strong advocate OF selling eggs By
the pound should no other method DC
found to grade them.
Eggs are now sold by the Dozen
said Mr.. Rover, land the. consequence
Is that the buyers and retail merchants
are losers. The reason for this Is that
we are compelled to ask the same price
for a dozen eggs only little larger
than those of a partridge as we do for
the same number OF large, healthy
eggs. This Is because there Is no
method OF grading eggs according To
their value. after they have left the
hands OF the producer.
Produce Is Graded.
Peas. mushrooms. apples. peaches
and many other such products OF the
farm are graded according to size. Some
Of this grading Is done by hand, or by
feeling how large the fruit or vege'
table is. while other grading is done
by a sieve.
Grading OF eggs by methods such
as those used for fruits or vegetables
Is of course impracticable. The only
logical method. then. would be to sell
them by weight"
One OF the chief arguments against

that grading eggs would raise the
price.

them in the scales. The hand pointed
to seventeen ounces. One egg was

weight OF little less than sixteer

eggs. There Is no method whereby
we can get the exact weight from q
number OF eggs, and sometimes the
buyer would gain. and We would lose
or vice versa.
There would have to be some In

them. Pasteurization of milk is a good

milk men had to raise the price OF

~ seems that at present eggs are got

markets and sell them to the man
among the commission merchants who
VIII pay the largest price.
After the eggs reach the hands Of the
commission merchant they are subjected
to the only test they have to pass. This
Is called the candle process" or can

Adds to the Cost.
This. II Is stated. Is one of the reasons
for the high price OF eggs. They all
have to be subjected to this process. and
II, OF course, costs something to test
each egg in this manner.
Mr.. Rover stated the price would be
increased still more were another test
or grading inaugurated, although II Is
fast becoming necessity to have the
eggs thus inspected.
The rule to sell eggs by the pound will
come In the future just as the rule to

ton. however. and one that cannot be

Felix Mahony to

morrow, will be on view In the special
exhibition room of the Corcoran Art
Gallery. or. course. we are all quite
thrilled.
In addition to scores of drawings per-
tinent and impertinent. made In his ca
pacity as cartoonist for The Washing
ton Times. Felix Mahony is showing a
series of water color caricatures OF
Washington artists. which should prove
extraordinarily interesting. In the first
place, the man has an uncanny faculty,
heaven born and Paris-trained-he stud
led under the great Steinlein-for catch
ing a likeness with Just that degree Of
exaggeration which makes caricature a
distinct and difficult art. A caricature
often shows more of the sitters per-
sonality and subconscious character
than the most seriously executed por-
trait. Indeed, It's a dangerous art-for
the subject.
-
Another source OF keen interest In
this collection OF portraits is the fact
that they demonstrate the system OF
spectrum color which Is being talked
about so much. This sounds very tech
meal and mysterious, but as matter
of fact, the method Is quite simple. The
artist deals exclusively with the pri-
mary colors OF the spectrum and their
compliments, visualizing light In It's re-
lation to the subject rather than the
subject itself.

President of Panama
Selected Jimmie" for Job.

When the President of Panama
wanted to open up the San Bias coun-
try he selected Jimmie" Hyatt to at
tend to It. He gave him 10000 acres of
land on the condition that he would
plant a colony there. The first thing
Mr.. Hyatt did was. with fine diplomacy.
TO make friends with the hostile In
dams. He was the first white man ever
TO stay over night among them.
He got busy and made treaties with
them allowing him to work the rich
manganese mines and lay out planta-
tions. Now he is taking out by the
thousands Of tons, manganese, at pres
erlt almost As precious as gold, as 1t Is
used extensively In the manufacture
of steel.
Latterly. among other things, he has
planted cocoanut trees by the hun
dreds OF thousands. which eventually
will net him millions.
In short. the King of San Bias Is n
very clever man and extremely rich
and fast getting richer.
But the point of my story is that he

MIR. and Mrs. Estes
Spent Short Time Here.
Guess who was In town last week,
Mrs. Francis N. Estes. whom you will
remember better as Mary Phelan, and
her husband. They were only here for
day or two en- route from New York
to Memphis. Mary is as charming as
ever. quite as good looking. and with
the same winning manner. She is much
thinner, though. Her husband is attrac.
tive. too, and ever so nice. This is the
first time any Of us have had the 'chance
to meet him. as they have never peen
In Washington since their marriage in
Memphis, some three years ago.
At the time OF their marriage Mr..
Estes was manager of a mine in Sonora,
and Mary was making her home In len
nessee. She had met him several years
before when visiting her brother, Robert
Phelan. who was employed by the same
company. None OF their friends sus-
pected that Mary was contemplating
marrying until the announcement cards
were sent out.
From Mexico the Estes moved to Cali
fornia. where they spent a year. Since
then they have been on the move con-
stantly, and have lived In such widely
separated towns as Spokane, Wash: FL
Paso. Miami, and Memphis.
Now. II You please. they're setting OF

San Bias is-well. guess you had bet

any rate. am told that It Is inhabited
by a fierce tribe OF Indians, who have
always been hostile. No colony of
white men had been able to settle there,
although the territory was known to
contain mines OF almost priceless worth.
So much for San Bias. Now for a few
words about its King, the hero OF my
story.

country one Jesse Hyatt. He came of

Mr.. Hyatt liked Panama so we'll he
decided to stay there. Later he served
number of years as vice consul for
