LONDON, Oct. 12.--Where the al
lied progress east of Cambria and
ST. Quentin appears to have slowed
down somewhat. pressure against
the southern face of the great west
front salient is increasing and the
Germans are being showed backward
rapidly on a front of nearly forty
miles northeast of Rheims
The British also are advancing
northeastward against Douai, and are
reported within less than four miles
OF that city.
The German retirement northeast
of Rheims is in the great bend OF
the Aisne. They have been pushed
northward until they are within eight
or ten miles of that river where it
flows through the important towns
of Attigny and Rethet. They are
also within two miles of Neufchatel.
Northwest of Rheims the enemy is
evacuating the whole Chemin-Des
DANES region. The French and
Italians there are rapidly reducing
the salient south Of Craonne and are
only three miles from that place to
the southwest.
The only activity reported in Elan
ders was a German attack west of
Roulers which the Belgians repulsed.
Allied progress continues in Serbia
and Albania. The Serbs have reached
the right bank of the Toplitza river,
only twelve miles from Nish and are
in contact with strong German forces.
They are also on the right bank OF
the Moraya river.
To the southwest near the junction
of the Serbian, Montenegrin and Al
bantam boundaries, the allies have
driven the Austrians out OF the impor-
tant cities of Prishtina and Prisren.
Italian cavalry. pursuing the Aus.
trians northward in Albania, have
crossed the Skumhi river on a wide
front.

About Cork.

A good, sound cork Is something
worth taking care of and using prop
erly. Never "waggle" a cork out OF
a bottle. That is the best way to
break or at least spring a crack In
the cork. Remove the cork with a
turning or twisting movement, always
in one direction only, 1. e., not a twist
one way and then In the opposite way.
Replace the cork with the same twist
as when removing 1t. Never lay a cork
down on a dirty, splashed table. II IL
must be laid down, stand 1t on Its
crown or top. For bottles containing
liquids In use, e. g., developers, ETC.,
attach the cork to the bottle thus
Pass a crochet needle through the top
of the cork, and with its aid draw the
end of a piece of fine Irvine right
through the cork, and tie this end OF
the string round the neck OF the bottle.
so adjusting matters that the cork just
fails to reach the table q. e., bottom
Of the bottle) when the cork and
string are free. This saves the cork
getting lost In the darkroom.

Makes Eqqs Tell Their Ace.

A novel and rapid way whereby to
determine the age of an egg has been
developed by NJ. Grossfeld, a French
investigator. He has supplemented
the usual method by one dependent on
specific gravity, notes the Boston
Transcript. The existing way where
by to determine the age of eggs is by
Gambling them and taking note of the
mirage which forms about the yolk."
Mr.. Grossfeld has determined that spe-
cifc gravity of normal eggs In the
way attributed to Archimedes, and
there has been figured out the loss In
gravity. for each week of keeping. For
quick Inspection of qualities of eggs,
he has devised a form of hydrometer.
The egg takes the place of the weight
ed bulb and the scale indicates the
specific gravity and at the same time
the age Of the egg. A little cage has
been arranged to hold the egg and is
capable Of quick handling. Big eggs
and little eggs are subject to errors in
the readings, but with eggs In the vi
entity of So grammes the indication is

Administrator of the said Estat,

In an announcement by the food
administration the cause for advance
in rice prices is attributed to the fact
that rice mills have been running to
full capacity in order to supply the
demand for 100000 bags for Ameri-
can and allied fighting forces. AS a
result the normal supply. for horne
consumption has been temporal ly
reduced. Lower prices are ~forecasted.
