Makes Euus Tell Their Ace.

A novel and rapid way whereby to
determine the age Of an egg has been
developed by NJ. Grossfeld, 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 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
clnity Of 50 grammes the indication Is
Instantaneous.

Our imports of sardines from France
and other European countries have
been almost entirely cut off by war,
hut the California sardine industry is
developing so rapidly that n. b. SEQ
field, fish and game commissioner of
that state, estimates an output of 3
100000 cases of California sardines in
another year. The California sardine
has suffered market handicaps due to
lack of Standardization of pack. This
difficulty is now being overcome by CO.
operation among the packers, and bet
ter methods of handling the fish from
the time they are taken out of the
water until they go into the can are
being developed. Gamers representing
90 per cent Of the Maine sardine can
ming industry in cooperation with the
food administration have voluntarily
agreed to reduce their price to $500 a
case of 100 cans for the one-fourth size
in oil and for the three-fourths size In
mustard, and S6.10 case of 100 key
cans In the One-fOurth size in Oil. This
Will enable retailers to sell the key
less cans at three for % cents, and the
grocery trade has lined up behind the
Maine Gamers TO distribute both this

Mysterious Happenings Puzzle.

Psychologists and students of the
supernatural have been investigating
a series Of strange manifestations at
Cheriton, near Folkestone, England.
II. w. Rolfe, local builder had con-
tracted to construct an underground
retreat in the grounds of Enbrook
Manor. He had been at work for some
days when he was attacked by stones
and pieces Of rock which were hurled
at him by some mysterious agency.
Hammers and other implements float
ed" through the air towards him and
his candles were eXtinguished by jets
of sand. He was injured by the mis-
siles, and gave up work for two days,
but on resuming operations the same
terrifying experiences We're repeated,
and he has now relinquished the work
altogether. Sir Conan Doyle and Sir
William Barrett, ex-president sof the
Society for Psychical Research, have
examined the excavation and ques-
toned the witnesses. They expressed
the opinion that some intangible pow
er had been at work.

and the minuteness with which he de-
scribed the care accorded by the gov
ernment to her soldier boys that proved
the most interesting to his listeners.
Especially was he listened to with
great eagerness when he told of his
visits to Camp Funston and Camp Kear-
ny where many of the $4,000 Colora 10
boys now l.; service are training for
active field duty.
When the governor told of his tour
of inspection through the quarters Of
the Colorado men and explained how
well they are being cared for and how
well satisfied they are, the many par
ents and friends of boys in the service
were greatly encouraged and comfort
ed to know that such splendid cendi-
tions exist as the governor described,
after making personal visit to ahese
camps. He urged the people to write
them cheerful letters and to give them
no cause for anxiety over the trend
affairs were taking at home. --

NEW FOOD REGULATIONS

To All County Food Administrators:
Peremptory order received from
Washington obliges us to discover be
tween this date and May the first tht
amount of all stores or boards Of white
flour and wheat in excess of the stat
utory ration of six pounds (6) per per
son per month.
After May the first every house
barn, or other housing device, within
the state of Colorado may be subjected
to search, with resultant seizure of any
stores of white flour or wheat cor
tained therein.
1t is therefore much better to have
everyone report voluntarily than to be
subjected to this indignity.
File these reports in your office and
promptly on May the first send us the
original or copies thereof.
Issue orders to all farmers within
your jurisdiction that they must deliver
between now and May the first all
stores of wheat to the nearest mill or
elevator retaining only an amount suf-
ficient for seed this year.
As to White Wheat Flour
Everyone is entitled to retain in
store an amount which can be calcu-
lated by taking each member of the
family and multiplying that number by
six (6), which means the six t6)
pounds they are entitled to have in
their possession-being thirty (3o)
days supply.
Particularly emphasize the fact that
if no report be made and search and
seizure have to be resorted to, even this
ration or allowance of six 10y pounds
per capita per month may not be re-
tanned.
If any authority on your part should
be questioned, refer them to:
Section 10. Bill 1851 H. r.
known as "Food Control Bill" which
section Provides for the seizing Of
grain for the use Of the army and
