PREDICTS WAR WITH EGGS

Perhaps the most widely known cou.
pie in Enid is Mr.. and Mrs. II. +.
Washam, who attracted a deal OF at
tention in 1913 by exhibiting three or
four dozen eggs, laid by hen owned
by them, which were said to forecast
events OF the world war. Historic
pictures of kings and queens. soldiers.
etc, on the eggs laid y tbhis hen OF
mystery, we're said by Mr.. anc Mrs.
Washam TO predict events OF the great
war. BY these eggs they boldly pre-
dicted that the world would be at war
In 1914, and that the United States
would be involved. On one egg ap-
peared the figures 1914 and on another
1918, which the seers said meant that
the great world war would start in
1914 and end in 1918. The claims OF
these people with reference to the
forecast were published in one OF the
Enid newspapers before the war and
mny thousands Of people visited their
home to see the eggs. Sure enough
the war started in 1914 and ended
temporarily In 1918. after our own
country had been involved.
Recently the Enid paper published
another article calling attention to
the egg representations by the Wa
shams as published before the war
and pointing out the accuracy OF the
predictions.
These eggs are still to be seen at
the Washam home. The hen that laid
the eggs died in mysterious manner
and was given decent burial by Mrs.
Washam and her husband.

were the materials used in these cos.
tunes.
Third Group, Afternoon Dresses.
This group was composed OF mod.
els wearing many different styles, of
different materials. such as Crepe de
Chine. Georgette. Crepe. Taffeta.
gingham and organdie, and other ma
terials that only women know any
thing about.
A striking costume OF mustard-col.

tiny buttofs, twotone, Mikado red
and Pekin blue.

OF the many soft, clinging mater.

built and painted by one OF the stu
dents and wired for electricity was
shown and the mechanic himself ex'
planned the construction and gave the
cost OF construction. other members
demonstrated the proper care OF fruit
trees, cows and hogs.
In explaining the proper care OF
the latter a real live pig-in finest
condition-was used on the stage,
and II was noticeable feature that
even the hogs are well trained at
Langston.

any OF the programs for the week so
far was witnessed Wednesday at the

night at the pageant.
