EGG FAMINE NOW
THREATENS COUNTRY

New York. Jan. Am egg famine
threatens the United States. according to
a statement issued by W. F. Priebe. head
of the poultry and egg division Of tho
federal food administration. He declared
that from September to January I. s.
per cent. OF the supply of cold storage
eggs was consumed. and the other Is per
cent. will soon be gone. There Is no re-
lief In sight. he asserted. for the supply
cannot meet the demand.
I'VE have got to cut down egg con-
sumption or else suffer a fast approaching
famine" Mr.. Priebe said. THE people
in the cities should do like the country
folk, not buy eggs when the price is out
Of their reach. When eggs are scarce
the country folk only serve them once
week and then on Sunday morning.
The people must save eggs. as there Is no
relief In sight"

LAD DIES or INJURIES
Ell Misaique Fatally Injured
When Struck by Auto.
Machine Driven by DR.. n. A. Heath Ac.
cidentally Runs Down BOY ON Main
street, vvinooski--Lad's Skull
Fractured.

ELI Misaique. 10. son Of Mr. and Mrs.
Philip Misaique of 15G West Allen street.
was fatally injured when he was run into
by Dr. r. A. Heath's automobile yester-
day afternoon. He died In the Mary Flet-
cher hospital two hours after the accident.
The accident happened at 1870 o'clock on
Main street. Winooski. at the corner OF
Center street. Just how It occurred could not
be learned as no one saw the boy until he
was under the wheels Of the car DR..
Heath told a Free Press reporter last
evening that the boy lodged from the
back of a team and ran In front of his
machine. The team was on its way down
the street and was about at the corner
when the doctor turned his car slightly tc
the left to pass 1t, bringing the auto al
most squarely across the car track
Whether the boy was on the team or MOI
he could not state but 1t seemed to him
that the lad had his hand on the rear OF
the team and left 1t to run across the
road. His cap was down over his ears ano
with head down he made the dash. The
blow that killed the boy was inflicted when
the lads head struck the hard ground
The first wheel passed over the body but
the back wheel on which the brake was
set was sliding along and pushed the body
a short distance. When 1t was stopped the
car had to be backed bit to loosen the
boy who was pinned underneath. DR..
Heath took the boy in his automobile to
the hospital where all medical aid possible
was given him. His parents were notified
and we're there before he died but the lad
never regained consciousness. He was
born here in Winooski July 4. 1904. and
leaves, besides his parents, two sisters,
Mrs. Archie Mongeon and Miss Rose
Misaique, and one brother. Louis Misaique.
Tho funeral will be held Saturday morning
at eight o'clock at st. Francis Xavier
Church. Burial will be in st. Francis

LAKE BREAKS RECORD.
Decides to Freeze over on Earliest Date
In n Century.


In . Century.
Yesterdays cold on top Of what had
come before was enough to close over
the broad lake and yesterday afternoon
before sunset the ice bridge was formed
without a flaw between the breakwater
and the New York shore, thus closing the
lake at the earliest date In record kept
for more than 100 years. The lake was
not closed in the morning. but under
the action of the sun and the cold the
ice was made solid. The only open place
to be discerned anywhere from Burling-
ton is q strip south Of Juniper Island.
There Is usually an open place to the
north and south Of the island for several
days after the broad lake Is frozen over.
Next to yesterday. the ealiest known
date for closing over tho lake was January
T. 1868. In two other years the date OF
closing over was January 8. In 1872 and
1887. In one other year the lake was
frozen over January 8. but the average
date Of freezing Is about January 81. OF
four weeks later than yesterday.
Another point about the freezing over
Of the lake ia that 1t Is Of a solidity
that usually does not come until into
February. Tuesday night Joseph Mimeau
night Waterman for the Champlain Trans
pOrtatlon company at Sneipurne narDOr,
drove his horse and cutter across Shell
burne bay to Queen City Park and came
from there to Burlington. This Is an
unheard-of trip at this time of year.
1t has become necessary now to make
the channels around the boats in the
harbor and this also is not usually done
| until several weeks later than this The
Ice In the harbor last evening was Il
| inches thick in places and making rap
idly.
With the ice. fishing shanties already
have been placed on Shelburne bay
| and in a day or two smelt fishing will
| begin around the breakwater. Skaters
| went outside the breakwater yesterday
The Ice Is in excellent condition.
The Free Press records Of the lake
date back to the year 1916. The material
was collected and for many years the
| records were kept by the late Charles e
Allen. Since his death they have beer
kept in this Office. They show the lake
to have remained open all winter In

years the lake has frozen over. broker
