Makes Eggs Tell Their Age.

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-
cific 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
cinity of 55 grammes the indication is
instantaneous.

Chestnuts to AidnWar.

British children all over the country
wherever the chestnut tree grows are
gathering horse chestnuts as told in
the Christian Science Monitor. 1t Is
their particular contribution to the
winning Of the war. for ripe horse
chestnuts have been discovered to pro-
vide a good substitute for the grain
which is used In the making of num-
tons. 1t will be quite valuable serv-
ice, for the computation is that every
ton Of chestnuts will save half ton
Of grain. The gathering is organized
by committees In connection with the
schools, and woods and lanes see
bands Of young patriots enjoying their
"war work" hugely.

SnIPYARD GUARDS
ARE DOUBLED
Heroic Action Taken by u. S
in Big Conspiracy.
TO SMASH FOE PROPAGANDA
Organized Along Military Lines at
Construction.

Washington. Jan. 28.-The govern
ment has been informed of widespread
German plots to burn and destroy
United States shipyards where the
nations fleets are under construction
1t has been tipped off" to the de-
tails OF what is recognized as .. 81,
gantic conspiracy to paralyze the pro-
duction of new tonnage, already de
layed by grave labor problems.
Armed guards have been placed at
all shipyards on orders from Wash
the word went out all over the coun
try by telegraph to double them. He.
roic efforts are to be made to smash
the German propaganda that is cor,
rupting the workingmen and holding
back the building of ships with which
the war can be won.
The gravity of the situation threat
ening the successful carrying out OF
the shipbuilding program is no long,
er concealed anywhere. Officials
speak of it frankly who not long ago
declared that the future was rosy with
promise, who could see no clouds in
the sky. They see them now.
The shipping board is acting vigor-
ously. Edward N. Hurley, the chair
man, has announced that Rear Admi-
raj Francis T. Bowles, who has been
in charge of ship production, had been
promoted to be assistant general man
ager Of the Emergency Fleet corpora
Mr
ly president of the Fore River Ship
Building company.
AS part of the scheme to speed up
the shipbuilding, Rear Admiral Bowles
will move his headquarters to Phila-
delphia, in the heart of the great ship
building activity centered on the Della
ware river
He will direct and take personal
charge of the Hog Island plant, where
conditions are so serious that heroic
measures are required. He will also
have charge of the two other govern
ment yards-at Newark and at Bristol,
Pa. The necessity for this move was
seen by Mr.. Hurley when he recently
inspected the yards.
Zones are to be created around all
shipyards, which from now on are to
be under military law. The war de-
partment has been consulted and
system will be arranged whereby all
workmen in the shipyards will be
placed in uniform and converted into
a great industrial army of patriotism,
whose efforts to produce more ships
will be recognized as on plane with
the fighting services of soldiers and
