SPECIAL EVENTS AT YD FAIR
 TOMORROW

Although not declared legal hol- iday, Arm:stice Day, commemorating the cessation of hostilities in the great world war is going to be pretty generally observed throughout the country next Tuesday, November Il. ard nowhere are more elaborate prep arations for celebrating the occasion being made than in Bridgeport. Perhaps the most notable event of the day locally vii be the special pro gram which is to be a feature of tiIe
 big YD fair now running at the Stat e Armory. The soldier boys anticipate entering a huge crowd at their indoor feyeI and have arranged for some un-
 usually strong attractions. Among other things, they are to have a big all-star vaudeville bill consisting of six corking good acts, all of which are to be presented by the best of talent on the variety stage
 Another big feature of the evening is to be prolonged dancing pro- gram. Dancing is to continue on that night until a. nl., insteai of until midnight only, as has been the case since the fair started. This promises no end of enjoyment to the thousands of young Bridgeport devotees of the terpsichorean art and it may well be assumed that the spacious armory noor VIII De crowded Iuesuay nlshI-
 Friday night is to be one of the gala occasions of the fair, admission to the armory being free for that night. Any who desire may attend the bazaar and enjoy dancing and vaudeville programs free of charge They may also participate in the dancing con- tests and 1t will not be prophesying to much to say that the hall will be crowded to its capacity on that night. As stated above, everyone will be welcome.

PURE FOOD LAW BRINGS ABOUT
 MANY CHANGES
Powdered Eggs Shipped From China Game Under Ban

Washington, D. C., Nov. 1o.-The Federal Food and Drugs Act has brought about many changes in methods of 1nanufa curing and label ing foods and drugs, not only in the United States, but in foreign countries as well, say the officials of the Bu- reau of Chemistry. United States De- partment of Agriculture, who are charged with the enforcement of that law.
 The most recent instance which has come to the notice of the officials is in reference to powdered dried eggs from China. Large quantities of powdered eggs are shipped into the United States from China for use by commercial bakers. These include powdered white of egg, powdered yolk of egg and powdered whole egg. These preparations are made by dry ing and powdering the eggs as taken from the shells. Egg powders will keep for long time, can be shipped economically and, when properly prepared from fresh eggs, can be used to take the place of shell eggs in baking.
 Powdered eggs should never be confused with the sc-calIed f'egg sub stitutes' which contain little or nc egg. and which will not serve the purpose Of eggs in baking.
 Examination Of the egg powders imported from China showed that hey contained zinc. varying from a mere trace to quantities sufficient to req uire the exclusion of some of the shipments from entry into this coun- try. Investigation developed that the zinc in the egg powder was acquired in the process of Inanufa cture, either from zinc-lined trays or zinc belts used in the drying of the eggs.
 As a result Of the exclusion of som of the shipments to this country, many manufacturers in China have 30 changed the process of manufaC- ture as to produce dried eggs. yolk and albumen free from zinc, and the indications are that they will soon be able to supply the demands for these products used in increasing quantities by bakers and manufactures of the bakers supplies. The Federal Food and Drugs Act gives no authority to the Department of Horticulture to pre- scribe the methods that must be used in the manufac cture of food or drugs either in this or in foreign countries. However, it is sometimes necessary for manufacturers to change their methods Of manufa cture, as in the in stance above noted, in order to bring their finished product within the re- quirements of the act.

careless or wilful act of an employee.
No one in the nursery business as a
proprietor. that is of a business Of any

nurserymen are dependent not saiy
upon one but usually on many haaeGs
