Simple Understanding Sorcly Needed.
Never before in history has an un-
derstandinG OF the simple principles
of economics been so sorely needed.
Although much is being done to sup
ply this need, we find the public con-
fused and vacillating between two
economic phlsophies--the simple,
direct old-fashioned. correct philos-
ophY of saving and working and the
fallacious philosophy, perhaps best
epitomi2ed as business MS usual
so far as we let our business as
usual impulses prevent the needed
saving and economic shifting We shah
Ipay terrific penalty in higher cost
of living, as well as in national inef-
ficency and maladjustment.
Loans to the government made
not from savings but from borrowings
viii tend to increase bank credit. Fur
ther extension of bank credit win

dity prices. It is therefore desirable
that further loans to the government

Pointing out that never before In
history has an understanding of the
simple principe of economics been 50
sorely needed a committee of emil
mont economists engaged in the study
of the purchasing power of money in

Needed Saving and shifting.
"In meeting the great national re-
adjustment to war conditions" the
committee says, ''we must not let our
usual Impulse prevent
tho needed saving and shifting of in
dustry. lest we pay a terrific penalty
in higher cost Of living and national
deficiency"
Tho committee finds tho public
economic philsophies-th simple. di-
rect, old-faShioned, correct piiloposhy
of saving and working and the falla-
cfous philosophy best epitomized as
business as usual. "One of our
greatest perils in the future lies in
further credit expansion" the COM
mittec says. 'and this peril comes
largely from our lending by borrow
ing."
Right Way TO Lend TO Nation.
The committee points out the right
way and the wrong way 10 lend money
to our country THE right way" 1t
says 'is the frank and honest way
Of saving up tho money by spending
less or earning more; tho wrong way
is at first cheap and easy, although
ultimately costly and painful way, of
lending the government what We bor-
row at the bank"
by giving up non essentials to buy
government securities" the commit
tee further says, we allow the gov
ernment to buy war essentials and at
the same time release productive en-
ersy from the making Of non-essen-
tials for us to the making Of essen

BULK EGG PRODUCTS

~ ECAUSE eggs are being
~ widely used as a substi-
tute for meat, putting
considerable pressure upon
both our stock of storage eggs
and the new arrivals of fresh
eggs, the Food Administration
urges bakers to use as few
shell eggs as possible in their
baking, substituting therefor
the frozen and dried egg pro-
ducts. During the past few
years there have been great
improvements in methods of
grading and preserving bulk
eggs. The raw material con-
sists of fresh eggs, the shells of
which have been damaged in
transit. These are sent to
what are known as "breaking
establishments" where the
eggs are broken one by one into
absolutely clean dishes under
sanitary conditions, inspected
rigidly, all spoiled stock dis
carded. and the good bulk
eggs frozen or dried for the use
of bakers, confectioners and
stewards. Some of the best
scientific work of the Depart
ment of Agriculture in recent
years has been centered on the
of sanitary meth
ods for handling eggs in
breaking establishments" and
they are now high-quality,

NO ACTION ON THE 1
 FRANCHISE ISSUE.
CITY COMMISSIONERS ASK THAT RAILROAD COMMISSION EN-
 FORCE THE CONNECTION.
Rock Island and Iron Mountain. if Forced to onneet as Under Previous Order Would Dispose of the oues- ton.

The city commissioners last eve hing did not take any definite action on the petition for a franchise for the Memphis, Dallas and Gulf railroad along Grand avenue, but did adopt resolution which calls on the state railnoad commission to proceed against the Rock Island and the Iron Mountain railroads to make the con- ineetion tbat had been ordered more than year ago, but which has never loeen made.
 It was the opinion of the city com .mlssloners that if these railroads car .ried out the interchange switch order, that would make the connection all that was desired, since the Memphis,
 Dallas and Gulf railroad now has a connection with the Iron Mountain.
 IL was also set forth that the inter change switch would give the railroads
 the privilege of changing cars for shippers, and that this would meet practically all the requirement. ,f the
 other franchises asked.
 The commissioners did not act ad- versely on the franchise that had
 been asked. but it is apparent that
 they win not grant a franchise over Grand avenue for the present, and until they are assured that at least there will be big remuneration to the city in nplnilding and in develop ment by such action
 The commissioners elected Ed Will liams, Otis Copelin and John Chap in as commissioners for sewer dis rict No 43, and NJ. k. Watson and ". A. Davis were named as commls- sioners of sewer district No 40
