ENGLAND Saves
and Lessons EGG
Prices in u. S.
HY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Kansas City, Mo-, March Econ
omy in England because of the war
has reduced the price of eggs in Amer
lea, according to speakers at the an
nual meeting of the Missouri Car Lot
Shippers Association here today.
Delegates were present from TWEEN
ty-two states. The price that must be
paid for eggs that will be stored this
month and next was a dominant ques-
ton.
England is an egg eating nation,
speakers said. Under normal condi-
tons, it is estimated its forty million
inhabitants consume more eggs than
the ninety million in the United
States. In the last year England has
cut down its egg bill by fifty million
dollars.

Belief Exists That She Has
Been the Victim of Ger
man Raider.

The delay of the steamer Common
wealth in arriving at Pensacola has
tied up over one hundred flat cars of
the Louisville & Nashville, and has
created a shortage of this kind of
rolling stock on the local divisions.
The vessel was due to reach Pen
sacola over week ago, having left
Teneriffe in ample time to have not
only reached Pensacola, but to load
cargo and depart. The Pensacola
Timber and Lumber Company, who
chartered the steamer, anticipating
her arrival, had the cross ties, with
which she was to load, placed on cars
and shipped to Pensacola. Now these
ears Of ties are occupying all the sid
ings on export wharves and many arr
in the storage yards, costing the com.
pany hundreds Of dollars daily in de
murrage and causing a shortage Of
flat cars on the local divisions.

GERMANS ARE
FORGING BACK
FRENCH ARMY
~ ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, March Additional gains
toward Verdun have been made by
the Germans through the hard drives
against French lines northwest and
southeast of the fortress. Hill No.
265, to the southeast, and portion of
Corbeaux woods, directly south of
FORCES, are occupied by German in
fantry. After heavy bombardments
the Germans also captured the town
of FRESHNESS in Woevre.
The German attack was over the
entire front, extending from Bethin-
court to the river west of the Mouse,
but at most points the French line
held and the Frehch still possess the
strategic heights of Cote de L'oie.
The occupation of Corbeaux indicates,
however, the Germans have advanced
three miles since the capture of the
village of FORCES. The recapture BY
the Germans of a position in Cham
agne, advance of the German line in
Argonne forest and expulsion of the
British from German trenches north
east of Vermellea are claimed by Ber-
lin.
In the British commons today Col
onel Churchill, former first lord of the
admiralty, fresh from his regiment in
the trenches, took issue with the naval
statement of A. ]. Balfour, the pres
ent first lord of the admiralty, styling
his utteTances as a note of warning
Churchill charged the admiralty with
a lack of driving power, predicting
that since the outbreak of the wal

are depended upon by vessels at sea
The first thing to do is to ascertain
what is known as your true north
south line. To do this you must know
your longitude and have the correct
time. Next, measure the altitude Of
the sun at apparent noon--that is,
when its shadow is north. Place q
curved piece Of cardboard in the win
dow, with the blind drawn down to the
wood o. the upper window. The angle
made oy the window will then indicate
the altitude Of the sun with sufficient
accuracy.
Next, consult what Is known as the
"Analemma" (see diagram). II you
live Il the northern hemisphere you
must subtract from the declination of
thc sun (which the analemma gives
you) the suns declination. Subtract
this result from 80 degrees, and the
remainder IL your latitude.-Po Popular

What cathedrals Moan.

James Lane Allen has avowed that
his purpose in writing "A Cathedral
Singer" the new romance, is to estab-
lish the new Cathedral of st. John the
Divine In New York more securely In
the heart of the nation.
Nothing that man has ever been
able to build, he says, 10 loved for SO
many reasons as a cathedral. It Is
loved for its spiritual meaning, for
the arts that enter into its structure,
for the action Of nature upon 1t through
sunlight and rain, and the brief NOR
tality Of the blossom on its walls.
But It is above all the literature
which gathers about cathedral, Mr..
Allen says, that makes 1t loved. link
ing It to innumerable human lives and
transfiguring It to human affection.
American literature entering the
service Of our great cathedral can
complete its destiny as an American
cathedral, Mr.. Allen believes.

Il 10 Just About the Weaksst
at. Thing Afioat-

The first and most striking fact
about the submarine 10 its capacity to
enter into and operate, in waters that
are adversely commanded.
But, once In those waters. the
power OF the submarine is extraordi-
narily limited. Indeed, its capacity to
enter those waters can also be limit
ed. The use OF nets. Of mines and of
patrols especially when assisted by
aircraft-these, at any focal point
which submarines coming or going
must pass, can do much to obstruct
their free passage. The narrower the
waters the easier their control by
these means, and even In comparative
ly open waters great destruction can
be and has been done by surface craft
upon them.
Apart, altogether, from the dangers
to which the submarine is exposed,
what is its value when 1t is at work
in hostile waters? 1t has two weap-
ons-the torpedo and the gun. It can
carry but few torpedoes-few, that is.
compared with the number Of rounds
Of gun ammunition that 1t can stow
away. The torpedo, too. is an uncer-
tain weapon at the best of times, par
ticularly uncertain when aimed while
the submarine is submerged.
Wherever it is possible. then, the
captain Of the submarine has done his
work with his guns. But as gunned
ship, Arthur H. Pollen writes in the
North American Review, the subma-
rine is the weakest thing afioat. Hence
its guns can be used only against un.
armed craft. It dare not approach any
armed ship on the surface at all. II 1t
has to approach an armed ship sub
merged, its speed of approach is great
ly limited. The highest submerged
speed does not exceed the half-power
speed of the slowest warship. Hence
speed and high standard of vigilance
in ships which are armed make them
altogether immune from submarine at
tack except in rare cases, when, by
pure chance, their course takes them
within the submarines striking radius.
The point is that IL the ship is armed
the submarine must keep submerged,
and II 1t keeps submerged its maneu-
vering speed is low. its capacity to get
within striking distance is very limit
cd. and its weapon very uncertain. II
the ship 1t intends to strike is both
at speed and accompanied by destroy
ers of fast craft, the area of danger
to the submarine and the intensity Of
the vigilance are increased, and the
danger from submarines becomes al
together negligible.

Safety First In London.

with the hotel.

Simple Method Of Determining
Latitude.
Point 10 to BE SURE Of Location Of thu
North Star, Which 10 Really All
the Astronomy Necessary
70 Know.

There is q very simple way by
means OF which the novice. unframed
in astronomical observation, can de-
termine his latitude. without the aid
Of complicated and expensive appa-
ratus.
II you were situated on the equator,
the North star would be directly north
of you. This star must be learned and
identified, so that 1t can be picked out
anywhere at q moments notice. This
is all the astronomy you need know
--as the location OF this star will give
the latitude,
When half way to the North pole
the North star is midway between the
zenith and the northern horizon. At
the pole 1t is directly overhead. In
all other places its 'angle" varies. be-
ing. for example, 80 degrees at New
Orleans, 40 degrees at Philadelphia.
and so on. The altitude Of the North
star is the latitude OF place north OF
the equator. All that Is necessary
then, to determine the latitude, is to
measure the angle of the North star
and thus determine the altitude of the
celestial pole. This will give the lati-
tude.
Take q pair of ordinary compasses.
Open them, and place one point in
q level window sill, holding the arm
upright. Now point the other arm of
the compass at the North Polar star.
The angle thus formed by the pair OF
compasses will be fairly accurate. pro-
vided the pointing has been done care
fully and the other arm Is held at
right angles to the sill,
When the compasses have been ad-
justed. as explained, proceed to meas
ure the angle formed by the arm of
the compass. This will Indicate your
latitude. For every degree of curva.
ture OF the earth, the North star rises
on, degree from the horizon. It is
thus an easy matter to see your lati-
tude from the number Of degrees made
by the angle Of your compass.
Another way to discover the latitude
