BROOKLANDERS IN
FIRST GAME WITH
GALLAUDET TEAM

Charlie Moran and scoops" Cooper.
coaches OF Catholic University and
GaIlaudet, have little TO say in re
gard to the prospects for their teams.
Although Gallaudet and Catholic Uni
versity hook up in the first game OF
the season on Saturday, neither team
has done much in the way OF heavy
work on account OF poor weather.
The Kendall Greeners have better
prospects than the Brooklanders on
account OF the fact that six or seven
veterans will be ready for Gallaudet
at the opening of the season.
Charlie Moran found two baseball
PLAYERS left from last season in John
Kendrick and Pat Rooney. Kendrick
is a pitcher and Rooney an infieider.

Neither Man Has
Fought Much

Compared with many second
raters, neither Jess Willard nor
Fred Fulton, who are to battle
for the worlds heavyweight
championship on July 4, have
fought much in the ring.
Wizards first bout occurred
February Is, 1911, and he lost
on a foul in ten rounds. Includ-
ing his exhibition two-round
bout with Soldier Kearns, Aug
ust s, 1916, Willard has fought
253 rounds.
Fulton knocked out his first
opponent, Jack Stone, in two
rounds back in 1913. Counting
his last victory over Tom Cowler
in five rounds at st. Louis March
II, 1918, the challenger has
fought 221 rounds.
Many second-raters box fully
100 rounds a year.

New Orleans, scene OF many big
ring battles, including the John L.
Sullivan-James J. Corbett contest IN
1892, is seeking the Willard-Fulton
bout Twenty-round contests are al
lowed in the Crescent City. and Dom
mick Tortorich, allied with Matt Hin
keb the Cleveland sportsman, Is IN
the field with an offer OF S15o.00o.
This is the largest offer yet made.
New Haven, seat OF classic Yale
University, Is also In the field with
an offer of 100000 for a twenty
round battle for the wotld's heavy
weight contest While 1t has been
suggested that Fulton try his luck
against willard inside the famous
Yale bowl, 1t is quite beyond the
realms OF Imagination that Yale
would allow such a use 20 be made OF
its huge athletic structure.
Few Allow Long Bouts,
Few cities are allowed to stage long
ring battles in this country. Boston
has twelveround contests, with de-
cisions; Milwaukee, ST Paul, A1inneap-
oils, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Gin
cinnati may hold ten-round bouts with
out decisions. Philadelphia's decision
less bouts go but six rounds.
Baltimore is allowed twentyround
bouts, but local promoters are the
only ones allowed to manage shows
in the Monumental City. This clint
mates Baltimore from all considera-
ticn.
As between New Orleans and New
Haven. while it might be more COM
Portable in Now England in JUL. il
IS more likely that the Crescen: city,
with its outdoor stadium, will draw
the big ring plum. Tortorich and
lIInkel are well known in the sport
ing world. and their offer of 100000
is bona fide.
Denies Promoting Scheme.
willard denies stories that, in al
lowing Col. J. c. Miller to promote the
bout, he is really promoting It him
self.
There's nothing to that talk" says
willard. 81 agreed with Miller to
fight any one he wanted me to meet.
He said Fulton looked like the best
man. ] think $4,000 is too much for
him myself. paid more than that
when I fought for the title.

have IL right in the Middle West

all, the money will be the big thing
and I'll go anywhere"
willard and Fulton will sign arti-
cles on April 1, and from then on
there will be lively hustling among
the clubs seeking TO stage II.

By WILLIAM A. RApFoRp.

One of the great problems now con- fronting the large manufacturing h. stitutions of the country is the proper and adequate housing of the workmen employed at the different plants. Sat isfactory home building at q reason able cost has become the vital concern of the nations business. just as 1t al- ways has been of the individual home seeker So now the most expert men obtanable are employed to develop plans for houses that will furnish max mum accommodations and at the same time be moderate in cost.
 The logical and most practical solu- ton to this problem is to analyze the old plan of housing, take advantage of the mistakes that have been made and get down to the modern basis of eff ciency and economy of space.
 Not so many wears ago real estate sold by the acre instead of by the foot and building materials could be pur- chased at a very low price. Every family had large house and garden; and very little thought was given to economy either in building construc- tien or in housework.
 Surrounded by such conditions, we formed the eXtravagant habit of build ing houses just about twice the size necessary in order to have two com plete sets of rooms, one to occupy 1t night and the other to occupy during

 Between the white and the shell are two fibrous membranes with an air space between them. When first laid, the contents fill the entire egg, but when the egg cools the contents shrink and these membranes separate, form ing an air space. The size of this air space is important in determining the freshness of the egg. As the egg ages the air space increases In size. Most bad eggs have enlarged air spaces.
 A fine. thick white is found in fresh egg, and a weak thin white in stale egg. AS the egg becomes stale the amount of thick white decreases. Several classes of bad eggs are indi- cated by discolored whites.
 The yolk of the fresh egg when twirled before the candle is seen dimly as a dark object moving slowly In the white. The yolk of stale egg is seen
 
 more plainly than that of the fresh egg When the yolk is so weak that the shake of the egg in candling causes il to break 1t should be graded as un- marketable. In the fresh egg the yolk is slightly above the center in the large end of the egg. As the egg be- comes stale the yolk floats higher and nearer the shell.
 The start of incubation in fertile egg may be detected by reddish glow surrounding the germinal spot. (Such eggs, although considered edible, are not graded as firsts.) This reddish glow is entirely different from the so- called blood ring, which indicates that the egg is unfit for food.
 Where there is any doubt as to an eggs fitness for food purposes. the candler should give the consumer the benefit of the doubt and reject it

WHOSE BOOTS DO YOU BLACK?
By HARRISON RHODES of the Viqilantes.

The bootblack is one of our greatest national institutions. In Europe he is both rare and incompetent upon the public streets. Here, to sit in q com fOrtably padded chair on q sunny cor ner and watch the world go by while a strong and willing toiler polishes your foot coverings till they reflect your handsome face in them is one O! the American experiences which makes the average citizen feel, temporarily at least, like god. at ease with the world and superior to it.
 But what about it now? Just how are these strong and willing toilers, the bootblaeks, helping to win the war against Germany? Isn't their job un- necessary? Wouldn't they. fighting ip the front line, or working in the fac. tories or toiling in the wheat fields, be helping America more than by polish ing your shoes and mine?
 Couldn't We, in fact, polish our own? People used to. There were things covered over with square of gaudily colored Brussels carpet, which were called boot blacking boxes, usually in every home. And batter familias and the boys at least shined their own shoes. When they went on trips there was T compact travelling kit which they put into their bag. Perhaps the boots weren't done quite so well, perhaps they didn't reflect your handsome face But which, to put it briefly. is more important, 10 have your boots polished for you or to whip the Germans?
 Does this sound ludicrously trivial to you? It is true that all the boot blacks in the country released for the real services of war time would be but little part of our military or ci- william army. But it cannot be said too often that nothing is too trivial nowadays to be worth paying atten- ton to.
 Think it over! Would you rather polish your own boots, or lick the Kaiser's when he gets here?

IN GRADING EGGS

 Quality of Product.

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agricultural
 Grading Is becoming more and more customary in the sale and pur- chase of eggs. and knowledge of candling is essential to egg grading. It is only hy candling that producers and shippers of eggs cun be certain that they are complying with federal. state and other regulations. because by this method one can determine the freshness and quality of eggs. The process, In simple terms. is to hold an egg before shaded light in q dark room, and by noting certain character isties seen through the semitranspar- ent shell to determine it's edible and marketable qualities.
 Farmers with only few eggs to market may improyise q candler by placing a stoveppe over kerosene lamp. cutting small hole in the pipe, level with the light. The eggs is held in q slanting position at the opening. II is twisted Il few times to the right and left and then from end to end. so that it's entire contents may be visible. Care should be taken that the fingers or hand do not conceal small blem- ishes, which otherwise would be dis closed by the light. The beginner should study carefully the general for nation of an egg, as this detailed knowledge k necessary for the appl- cation of the standards of various grades and qualities.
 The yolk ranges in color from light yellow to orange, and is occasionally olive green. The eggs with olive green yolks are less desirable because of this color. but are considered edible. The yolk is contained in a delicate mem brane and on its surface is a small lsht-eolored circular area cnlled the germinal disk, from which the chick develops. The yolk always floats in the white with the chick spot on top. Around the yolk lies a small quantity of thin white and then a heavy layer of thick white. Twisted cordlike coils

THE SNAKY PEACE"-A FABLE
By EUGENE H. BLAKE of the Viqilantes.

A snake having invited tame squir- rel to play on the ground and enjoy the fallen acorns, swallowed the little animal half down before 1t knew what had happened.
 But the squirrel catching it's breath, twisted around and caught the snakes neck.
 "The squirrel attacked me-" the snake managed to say to man who had come up with stick to see what the trouble was.
 Let the man decide what Is just" the squirrel offered, "and we will abide by it."
 The snake objected: II must, as things stand today, in the name of the Serpentine Power. decline this court as prejudieed."
 The squirrel nsked what the snake would agree to.
 An intimate meeting for discussion would be the way to remove the nu- merous intentional or unintentional misunderstandings. Let us crawl into thiS iioiio" ioS "iiSio WV S'ii pS "h moved by outsiders and l will cheer fully disgorge and return to the status quo ante"
 Just as soon as the belligerents had got out of sight in the log and the snake could finish annexing the rest of the squirrel, its fangs darted out of a knot-hole and sank into the mans foot
 Back-fire: The world had better have look in at the peace conference.

Stops Train With klrfnt.

D. Herbert Schweyer, an Eastern inventor made public test of his automatic train control between Boy ertown and Barto. on the Reading railway. The demonstration, which was witnessed by the representatives of five railroads was successful. Hun- dreds of persons lined the tracks.
 A train was run through signal in- dication points, stopping without the aid of an engineer when the danger signal was given. The system Is worked by lights. The application of the brakes is brought about by the induction principle of alternating and direct current. There Is no phys ieal contact between any structure on the roadbed or any appliance on thi engine.

the cost of construction must be re- duced to an absolute minimum per unit.
 The solution lies in the elimination of bed rooms.
 This statement may sound peculiar to a great many readers, who will re mark, How i'll the world can I get along without bed rooms?' Stop and think a minute. Can you figure out any good reason why Il whole room costing from $500 to $G00 to build should be set aside. labeled, bed room" and then be used only a few hours at night? All day long this room stands absolutely idle. yet you must furnish, heat, light, decorate and keep it clean just the same as any other room. In other words. you are investing your money where it earns dividends only one-third of the time.
 The modern builder builds for eff ciency. He makes every room work 24 hours every day. This is accom- plished by the use of the concealed bed which eliminates the necessity of the bedroom

demonstration of the use of some products of the baobab tree has been given at Gapetown. South Africa One of the most important of these is the fiber, which, under a process which has been patented in Capetown, can be utilized as a substitute for cotton in the manufacture of explosives. Car tridges filled with the new cordite were fired over the range at the police camp at Maitland. and it was after wards stated that the ballistic quali ties of the new material compared well with the ordinary military propellant now in use. The proceedings term mated with an explosion of some of the cotton in confined space and buried in the soil. The effect of this is described as having been very much like that shown by photographs of shells exploding.

Contribution of Barbarjsm.

That part of the world which really stands for civilization is resolved at last that the vision of mankind must not be blinded; that the aspirations of the human soul must not be as- phyxiated by q bloody and rapacious barbarism. whose most epitomizing contribution to mankind has been the sausage, that carnivorous discovery that refuse meat may be deceptively embalmed in garlands of linked in testines.-By Augustus Thomas of the Nigilantes.

Any living room or dining room can be al- laost instantly converted into q sleep ing room. Instead of sleeping in small crowded bedrooms. the largest, best ventilated rooms in the house are used for sleeping purposes at night. when they are no longer needed as living rooms.
 Study the accompanying plan for moment Here is f0ur-room house with siX-room accommodations. Two concealed beds are used in this house and one regular bedroom Is provided. Even in such q small house there Is no feeling of being overcrowded. all on account of the arrangement This house with six-room efficiency k only 21 feet 6 inches wide and 26 feet, ( inches long. yet it furnishes perfect sleeping accommodations for six peo- pie without overcrowding.
 The saving in construction between this house and one of five rooms makes 1t worthy of much consideration.
