University SHIFTS
BASKETBALL CARD
Object is to Get Some Prac-

Game.

MoRGANToWN, Dec 2.-West Wiz
einia University 10 re-arranging her
varsity basketball schedule in its
early stagestn oruer that at least one
ana possibly two games may be played
seeding the big contest with Yale
University here on December 81.
Iwas originally planned to open the
season here on January with DAVIS
EIltins college but an attempt is now
being made to shift this game to q
date around December 20. The Pitts
bnfeh Gollegians had been expected
10 play here on January 10 but this
OUTFIT willScome, instead, about the
18Th Of December.
The fact that the game with Yale
University comes at the end OF the
holsday period, makes It difficult to
arrange the schedule, especially with
view to Practice. The vacation per-
led extends from December 10th to
January 1st, inclusive. The present
plan Is to start practice about next
Tuesday, December 8, with the first
game an easy affair coming in a week
rom that time with another ten days
rom the beginning Of the active work.
Then the men will be excused from
practi6e from the Goth to the 26th In
elusive 80 that they may enjoy Christ
mas itself at home but an effort will
BE made TO have al Of them return on
ife 26th for the six days Of practice
preceding the game with Yale.

coBLENz, Germany Nov. S0.-
Football among the American forces
in Germany went into its second round
of games this week and brought into
the limelight a number of former West
Point and college players.
The 18th Provisional Guard team
again showed its class by defeating
the Engineers, z too. The feature was
the playing of Lieut., Wicks, former
West Pointer, his speedy flights round
the ends contributing much toward the
downfall Of the Engineers. Lieut.. Hol-
brook, also of West Point, stood out
in the lineup of the Cavalry team,
which defeated the 9Th Infantry, 6 to O..
Major Allen, another West Pointer,
playing at left halt, made the horse
mems victory possible. Lieut.. March,
formerly of Lafayette college, Easton,
Pa, and West Point, was the star Of

Preserving Eggs In Limc-water.


During the spring and early sum-
mer. when eggs are abundant and
reasonable in price, attention should
be given to preserving them for win
ter use. Fresh eggs, properly pre-
served in waterglass or lime water,
may be kept for to IL months in ex-
ceilent condition and used with good
results. Eggs laid during April
Nav. and early June have been found
TO keep better than those laid later
in the season.
If satisfactory results are 70 be OBJ
tanned, the eggs should be fresh and
clean. and if possible, infertile. Eggs
that float when placed in the solution
are not fresh, and therefore can not
be preserved. When an egg is only
slightly soiled. a cloth dampened with
vinegar can be used to remove such
stains. Under so circumstances
should badly soiled or cracked eggs
be used for preserving; if put into
the Jar dirty they will spoil, and
washing removes a protective coat
ing which prevents spelling
Where waterglass cannot be OBJ
tanned for the preservation Of eggs.
the limewater method may be sub
stituted. Dissolve two or three lbs,
of unslacked lime in gallons Of
water that has been previously boiled
and allowed to cool. and permit the
mixture to stand until the lime settles
and the liquid is clear. Place clean,
fresh eggs in clean, earthenware
crock or jar, and pour the clear
water into the vessel until the eggs
are covered. At least 2 inches OF
the solution should cover the top lay
er of eggs. Sometimes a pound OF
salt is used with the lime, but eX-
perience has shown that in general
the lime without the salt is more sat
isfactory.
Fresh. clean eggs, properly pre-
served, can be used satisfactorily for
all purposes in cooking and for the
table.

REV. BOYCE TAYLOR
LANDS IN JAIL

Murray, Ky, April 10.-The Rev.
H. Boyce Taylor pastor Of the Muir
ray Baptist Church, who was convict
ed recently, Of violating an order of
the State Board Of Health by holding
services at his church while the flu
ban was on, surrendered himself TO
the sheriff at o'clock tonight and
was placed in a cell of the Galloway
County Jail.
At the time Of his recent convic-
ton fine OF 500 was assessed
against him in the County Court. He
refused it is said, to pay the fine,
and the court had just issued a bench
warrant to the sheriff to enforce
judgement. Unless he pays the fine
the minister must remain behind the
bars for leo Gays.
Puzzle sentiment is sharply diyid-

defying the state law, and the other
regarding him as martyr.

GERMANY MAY
REJECT PEACE TERMS

There appears to be a growing ten
dency among all parties in Germany,
radical and conservative alike, to re-
fuse any treaty of peace which shall
make excessive territorial demands.
At first the movement TO reject such
terms was apparently initiated by the
Government in order to influence the
Paris Peace Conference to make more
reasonable terms, but now the move
ment has gotten out of Government
control. In the German newspapers
and among all bodies of people there
is a growing unanimity of opinion
against yielding to what has been
called "enslaving terms Especial
ly is there protest against the claims
to Danzig and the Saar valley. The
claim to Malmedy is also now char
aeterized as eXhorbitant.

net. said, Il take a most solemn oath
that the Government will not surren-

Hirch declared that the Government
had no intention OF giving up the

considered it the States chief duty TO
