coal abroad, Mir. Saint asserted, that
demand had come from practically
every European country, including
the British Isles, heretofore the chief
coal exporting nation of the world.
England's inability to produce coal in
pre-war days quantities he thought,
was primarily responsible for the in
creased demand on the bituminous
coal producers of the United States.
Here exports have dropped from H.

standing that England was to take
care Of the Italian situation. l be-
lieve that conclusion was reached In
Paris during the economic conference
there. But England has radically
failed to take care Of the Italian
situation. Italian imports Of coal be-

REDUCE WASTE BY GAMBLING,
Difficulty in Determining Quality Of

prepared by the United States Depart

ment Of Agriculture)
Although the Gambling method of de-
termining the quality of eggs in the
shell is the best known for commercial
grading, recent investigations conduct
ed by the United States department of
agriculture show that one group of
eggs of inferior quality cannot be de-
tected by this system, and that it is
inadequate in grading still another
group. The Investigations, reported in
Department Bulletin 702 show that ex-
perlenced gamblers and those using ex--
IRENE care do not make many mis-
takes in grading eggs. Eggs with green
whites and those having q normal an.
pearance but bad odors are not recog-
nizable by Gambling. White rots, more
particularly mixed rots, eggs with
yolks slightly stuck to the shell, blood
rings and eggs with bloody whites are
not always detected, and are included
in the group most frequently mlscan-

colored yolks make detection between

who candled a number of cases of 30.
dozen eggs each, the average proper
ton of bad eggs miscandled per case
varied from o. in spring firsts to 1877
in very low grade cold-storage eggs.
The percentage of bad eggs which
could not be found by recandling
ranged from none to 6.93 per cent per
case and depended on the grade of the
eggs examined. In the commercial
Gambling of 12S,5S7 eggs, $685. bad
eggs were found, of which 71.65 per
cent were recognized by Gambling and
the balance, or 2S.35 per cent, were
not found until the eggs were opened
and examined individually. Then 1t
was observed that the 2S.35 per cent
was divided between group of 1902
per cent bad eggs, which in many in
stances are distinguishable by can
ding, and a second group of 11.33 per
cent consisting of types of bad eggs
which cannot be discovered until the
eggs are broken.
The accuracy of Gambling depends
upon the quality of the eggs and the
skill OF the GAMBLER, according to the
bulletin. In plants having poor man.

There is no standard weight given
for Leghorns, though the average may
be said to be three and one-half
pounds for hens, and four and one
quarter pounds for cocks. Pullets and
cockerels are a trifle under these
weights. Some strains run heavier,
which is obtained by introducing Mi
