are favored, being twisted twice
around the waist and buttoned on eth

some brocaded ribbon are also employ
ed, especially across the front of

very good for silk dresses for summer.
The light colors used in them make
welcome relief from the rather somber
colors of our suits and street dresses
of cloth.

CANDLE eggs TO
TELL CONDITION
Appearance Of Egg Shell Not Re-
liable Indication Of Quality
of Contents.
EQUIPMENT IS EASILY MADE
Ordinary Hand Lamp, Lantern, mean
descent Bulb or FIashIloht May Be
Used-Necessary That Work
Be Done In Dark Room.

The poultry raiser with a small
flock as well as the commercial raiser
needs to make sure that the eggs used
at home Or~marketed are In best con-
dition. Gambling will show that. 1t is
reliable and can be done easily. Equip
ment can be improvised at home.
The shell Of the new laid egg has a
soft "bloom" which is a valuable sign
Of perfect freshness. This bloom is
destroyed by touch, and in any case
disappears after few days exposure
to the air. After that the appearance
Of the shell is not reliable indication
Of the condition of the contents. BY
holding an egg between the eye and
strong light in such q manner that
the rays of light come to the eye
through the egg the condition Of the
contents can be seen. This method of
examining the eggs is called "can-
ding"
Work In Dark Room.
Gambling eggs is done in a dark
room, using light inclosed In case
having opposite the light a hole of ap-
propriate size and shape at which the
egg Is held for examination. An ordi-
nary hand lamp, lantern, an mean
descent bulb, or fiashlight may be
used. Any box large enough to hold
the lamp, set on end, can be used for
a case. Besides the hole in the side
opposite the light there should be a
hole In the top end (see illustration) |;
otherwise the heat over the light would
fire the box. A tester chimney such
as Is used on lamp for testing eggs
In incubation may be used for can
ding. Have the light on table or
shelf as may be convenient. Place the
eggs to be candled at one side; ut the
other have separate receptacles for
good and bad eggs. Take the eggs one
by one and hold, large end up, close
to the light.
Appearance Of Eggs In Gambling.
A perfectly good, fresh egg shows
"full" and "clear" before the light |;
there Is almost no air cell at the large
end, and the yolk outline Is only faint
ly discernible.
A fixed air cell Of u to 3-16 inch in
depth indicates fresh egg as eggs
run in general receipts. A larger air
cell with a mobile lower line indicates,
according to size and fluctuation, a
stale egg, or one becoming weak and
watery.
Spots Are Blood CIots.
Very small spots In an egg are usu-
ally blood clots. Large spots, rings,
and shadows are due to heat and GER
mination, and indicate decomposition
In the first stages. An egg that Is
opaque except for large fixed air
cell contains chick dead Mt an adj
vanced stage of incubation. An opaque
egg with large air cell having mo-
bile lower line is In an advanced stage
Of fluid decomposition. Eggs showing
slight spots or rings can often be util-
lied by breaking them and separating

of the Com mittee on Interstate Com merce. which reported the wire bill control measure to the Senate with practically no hear inss. insisted on the passage of the legislation as an emergency measure. and he used these words There is not a Senator in this Cham per who is asked to express his opinion as to wheth- CT he thinks 1t is necessary at this time or at soroe time in the future to take over the telegraph companies. but the question you are asked to vote on is the ques tion as to whether or not you are willing to leave it with the Exec utive Of this land in his discre. tion to take them over if war necessity arises in the future. That is all there is to the bill" Mir. Underwood further called attention to the fact that meas ures similar to this one had given the President control of the food products of the country, the di- rection of the fuel supplies, the administration of the railways, and carte blanche with reference to the Army and Navy.

he finally was questioned by Sen ator Harding. The Senator from Alabama avoids the use of the word telephone. 7 remarked the OhioaD. I do not thlnk there is any probability what ever of taking over the tele- phones in this land" returned Senator Underwood. who added: Except 1t might be to meet 10 cal situation n some seaport for the moment or the hour.
 There were plenty Of assur- ances of this kind. and Senator after Senator yielded their indi- vidual opinions in opposition to further extensions of govern. ment control and ownership pol icies n order to give every pa triotlc support possible to the President. Nevertheless sixteer votes were finally cast against wire control. and the debate showed that the members of the upper body entertain a real fear of the machinations of the Post. master General, whose desire to grab the wire lines has apparent ly developed into an obsession. Senator Borah voiced the skepti cism Of the Senate very briefly when he said that if wire control would help to make the military situation more effective. he was ready to vote for it promptly.
 but if we are here passing upon this proposition as first step to permanent Government owner ship. the second step to come a little later. then there are a good many questions I should like to consider.
 Senate leaders ike Brandegee Fernald. Kellogg. Sherman. Shoot and Calder, and many oth- CTS, who have heretofore sup ported Administration requests for control over great properties, took issue against wire-control because the Postmaster General, with the support Of the Secreta ries Daniels and Baker. had made 1t quite plain in the hear ings before the House committee that the rabbit they were after was nothing short of permanent control aud ownership of the tel egraph and telephone lines. The dissenting Senators asserted that the President already had all the power contained in the resolution. when 1t came to a mil itary emergency, and while they all evidenced their desire to stand by the President to the last ditch.' they could not be convinced that 1t was the part of wisdom to concentrate all the power in the hands of Mr, Burle son that he is seeking.
 Nevertheless the assurances of Senators Hitchcock. Jones, Overman. Sheppard. Simmons. Swanson and others. that the wire-control bill would not be utilized along the Burleson lines of permanent possession, swept nearly all the opponents of the measure. into support of the law witch will furnish the President with supreme power over these gr eat properties.

In his letter to Mr. Me Adoo the President used these words; It is essential that these utilities should be maintained at their maximum efficiency and that everything reasonable possi. ble should be done with that end in view.

 WOUNDED SOLDIERS
 Wounded soldiers on the streets of Washington are not an uncommon sight, and this fact has doubtless speeded up the legislation which is intended to provide vocational training for disabled soldiers and sailors. The Government is prepared to put couple million dollars into the work to start of with, since it is calculated that for each mil lion men sent abroad that ten thousand will be returned each year to receive the benefits of the legislation. Ibis has been carefully worked out by our Al lies. aud the results in Canada are accepted as the basis for the plans of the United States In effect each wounded soldier is provided hospital treatment and cared for during his convales cence. Then they are taken in charge. and in many cases taught trades, or provided em- ployment.

attention OF the United States De-
partment OF Agriculture and the
Council OF National Defense, to the
end that waste OF time. material, and
effort on the part Of the amateur gar
dener may be avoided. 1t Is planned
that expert advice will be made avail
able to all Liberty gardeners who
sign the garden pledge.

over the plan? Read what prominent
