ice Is Demanded.
It Is Found Impossible to Avoid
Marketing Bad Eggs.

Ultimately scheduled trips over all
branch and main lines of railroads in
Kansas will be made by refrigerator
cars for the purpose of gathering eggs
at all stations. This will be true IL
heed is taken of the many protests
registered by retail merchants of Kan
ton of eggs which has resulted in
numerous arrests and the imposition
of a number of fines on merchants.
Loss of one of the small merchants
strongest drawing cards for trade, the
exchange of eggs. butter and poultry
for merchandise, is threatened as a
result of the regulation. Such q loss.
it is claimed, will be still another boost
for the mail order houses Merchants
declare that with the present unsatts-
factory method of handling their ship
ments of eggs to storage houses. added
to the new regulations, purchasing of
eggs will become prohibitive on ac-
count of the fines and penalties i'm
posed for the sale of bad eggs which,
they declare are impossible to keep
fresh under present shipping condi-
tions.
Protests Received Daily.
Paul Lovewell of the Merchants
Journal stated this morning that ev-
cry mail is bringing fresh protests
from the merchants.
There is no doubt that the aim of
the new regulation governing the sales
of eggs is commendable," said Mr..
Lovewell. Consumers in past years
have been obliged to throw away mil
lions of dollars in rotten eggs pur-
chased. However, some protests
against the method of remedying the
evil appear to be justified"
The merchants claim it is next to
impossible to avoid selling spoiled
eggs to the big egg storage houses
in summer under present conditions
Insurance of shipments of eggs
makes il necessary for a merchant to
get the cases to the depot before the
scheduled arrival of freight trains.
Freight trains were never noted for
keeping their schedule, and as re-
suit the cases filled with eggs often
must stand in the sun on a depot plat
form for hours and then be dumped
into a hot car and bumped for miles
to storage. In hoI weather 1t doesn't
take long for eggs to become suitable
ammunition for use against ones
enemies.
Fine Farmers, Too.
Arrived at the storage they are
candled by inspectors from the state
board of health should the shipment
be intrastate, and If interstate by
federal inspectors. Then. il certain
per cent is damaged. the merchant is
arrested and fined.
Under plan being proposed to
remedy the alleged fault in the pres
ent regulation, laws would be passed
providing for a licensed egg inspector
in each town. He would candle eggs
in each store and thus make the
farmer selling bad eggs equally liable
with the merchant selling the samC
sort of eggs to the storage house
No eggs would be shipped out of
any town not inspected by the licensed
inspector. Then an effort would be
made to induce the railroads to make
weekly or semi-weekly schedules of
refrigerator cars for egg shipments on
all lines.

in the international work. The general
federation now has branches in Eng
land. Japan, the Philippines. Cuba and
Canada.
Mrs Pennybackcr makes another rec
touching on international
relations. Il is for a Pan-American
congress.
There is perhaps no problem that
faces our country today" she says,
shat Is Of more importance than the
cultivation Of the true Pan-Ameriean
spirit. Careful study conyinces us that
ideal relationships between the United
States and the other American repub-
lies will never be brought about until
the women Of the countries more thor
oughly understand each other. IL is
true that we know far less Of the
women Of our neighboring countries
than we DO of the women Of the Orient
or the women of Europe. Therefore,
because knowledge brings understand
ing, and understanding sympathy. I
recommend that the General Federation
urge upon the clubs the study OF the
life and history Of LatinAmerican
peoples.
81 further recommend that this con.
vention, with a solemn realization o.
the magnitude. and also Of the glorious
possibilities OF such an undertaking,
indorse the calling Of great congress
OF the women of the three Americas In
1920, and that under proper conditions
we ask the United States government
20 help US finance this congress"
Mrs. Pennybacker recommends also
appointing a commission 20 investigate
the motion picture problem.
Reports were presented from the for
eign delegates, Miss Nichi Hawai-. OF
Japan, who told OF work for lepers and
day nurseries by the Women's Club OF
Manila. and Mrs. E. VI. Renouf, Of Mon

that this club had paid its dues and had
not been heard of since, lowing, no
