Roads Marked For
Trips to Halifax

The State Highway Department
to-day received great number of
inquiries as to whether there are
detours on the road between Harris
burg and Halifax. From the number
OF inquiries received it is apparent
that scores of Harrisburg automo-
billsts will go to Halifax tomorrow
TO attend that towns Welcome Home

There are no detours between Har-
rlsburg and Halifax. 1t is not pos
slble for motorists to use the river
road but they will find tNe highway
on the west shore in far better con-
dltlon than it has been this sum-
mer. The proper route from Harris
pufS, is that which takes the motor
lists across either the Market street
or Walnut street bridge: thence
through West Fairview, Marysville
ana Duncannon to the Clark's Ferry
bridge. Crossing this bridge, the
motorists turn to the left and follow
the straight road to Halifax. The
route sheets showing this thorough
lafe In detail may be obtained from
the attendants at the Market street

son will issue proclamation de-
claring that until the eighteenth
amendment to the Constitution be-
comes operative in January next the
sale of beer and light wines at least
can be carried on in all tho States
that were wet" prior to July /.
1t is also rumored that the Presi-
dent may go so far as to claim to
possess the authority to include the
sale of whisky and gin during the
practically three months between the
date of actual rehabilitation and the
date when the national prohibition
amendment goes into effect through
out the country.
Strong representations have been
made to him that in view Of the .act
that the banks have so much money
loaned on strong liquors that were in
government bonded warehouses, and
time in which to dispose of their
holding and meet their financial OBJ
legations. it would be an act of JUS
tice. il the President is warranted
in going further in his proclama ton
in the event he finds that he has that
authority.
Indications are that the Senate
Judiciary Committee will not stand for
some of the more drastic provisions
carried in the House prohibition en-
forcement bill, but that does not sig
Nifty that they will not be voted into
the measure when the bill reaches the
Senate chamber. Broadly speaking
Senators. regardless of party affilIation
are likely to favor as drastic legislation
as the House members put through.

Penn-Harris Manager
Speaks in Altoona

ment, not only for the owners but for
the city as a whole.
TT will not diminish the amount of
business that will come to the other
hotels of the city.
1T will bring conventions to the
Ncity and these benefit others besides
the hotel keepers.
Altoona has an ideal location as
center for tourists and needs only a
hotel of this character to draw the
motorists here.
aside from all other considera-
tions. civic pride should lead to the
erection of a good hotel in Altoona.

vidual."
These were some of the salient
points brought out by Horace Wig
gins, manager of tile Penn-Harris
Hotel in Harrisburg. in an address at
noon yesterday before the directors;
/ team captains and others interested
| in the new hotel project.
! Mr.. Virgins was introduced by F.

Blair Hotel Company, the company
that is back of the project. and he
spoke from his own experience, eN-.
tending over period of number of
years as a hotel manager
Mr.. Virgins began his address by
saying that when one mas guests at
his home he gives them the best he
has and there should be the same COLI
| sideration shown by the city as u
! whole toward those who are its guests
from time to time.
He said that Altoona has grown
away from her present hotel facilities
and it is time to build for present and
future needs. He said that the plans
of the promoters would in no respect
disparage the existing hotels, for in
Harrisburg. all the other hotels have
done as well or better since the Penn

HOW TO TELL
FRESH EGGS
State Department of Agricul-
ture Divides This Food
Into Four Glasses

For the benefit of housewives and
others, eggs are divided into four
classes with an explanation of how
to tell fresh from old eggs by tho
State Department of Agriculture.
James Foust, Director of the Bu-
reau of Foods, Department of Agri-
culture, issues the following state
ment:
There are four classes of eggs
First--A fresh egg" is one that is
understood to have the following
qualities: Its white is capable of
whipping we'll; in cooking it can be
satisfactorily poached or soft boil
ed; it has not absorbed foreign dis
agreeable odors; its embryo shall
not have developed appreciably. The
yolk should be fairly stiff and well
rounded and the. white should not
be watery, and the chalaza shall be
we'll defined.
Second-Cold storage eggs must
be sold in accordance with the cold
storage law and must be repre-
sented and labeled "cold storage
eggs"
Third-Eggs kept for a period of
time by the water glass. lime or
other methods that cannot be classed
as fresh eggs" but are edible,
wholesome and suitable for all food
purposes except such as require
fresh eggs"
Fourth-Eggs that are decayed,
partly decayed, or decomposed and
unfit for food purposes, have a COM
mercial value for tanning leather
such as is used in the manufacture
of gloves. Rotten eggs must be
promptly denatured with kerosene
oil, and when opened must be
placed in a container painted a
bright red color. 1t is unlawful to
open rotten eggs and remove the
content from the shell in establish
ments where food products are pre-
pared or manufactured. or to open
rotten eggs in an establishment
where good eggs are opened for food
purposes.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agrioulture)
Because Of the Importance Of eco
nomical feeding in profitable sheet
raising, the United States department
Of agriculture directs special attention
to opportunities for growing foragI
crops as feed for lambs and ewes.
Early spring pasturages Of wheat o.
rye may be used at the start. Thes,
provide succulent green feed appetiz
ing to the ewes and lambs. OveEpas
turing, however, must be avoided whel
these crops are later to be used fol
grain. Where it is possible to keep thu
rye or wheat pasture about IL to tw,
inches high, the lambs and ewes seen
to relish It more and will eonsumt
larger amounts. Oats and Canadian
field peas may be sown together earl!
in the spring at the rate Of TX bushelI
Of field peas and w bushels Of Oati
to the acre. This crop should then b.
ready when 1t is time to take the focl
off the rye or wheat.
Rape, another good forage crop, mal
be soWn at the rate Of six to eigh
pounds an acre, and will provide late
pasturage, following the oats and Ca
madam field peas. In sections wher
soy beans and cowpeas grow satisfac
toriIy they furnish an excellent mid
summer pasture. If sowed later the.
make a good forage crop in late SUN
mer and early fall. When sown in corr
they serve as an excellent supplement
to the corn for fattening lambs.
If pastured by alternating the graz
ing in different parts and not allowing
any particular section to be too closet,
eaten, a field Of soy beans may be uset
for considerable time. When mos
Of the leaves have been eaten it Is tim
to move to a fresh portion Of the fell
so that the plants on the grazed par
will have a chance to leaf again. Il
some sections it may be desirable tt
cut this growth and use it for hay, es
pecialIy when other leguminous hay
Ore not available.
1t is good practice to sow rape q
the last cultivation of corn. The lamb
can then be turned in the corn field II
the fall and will feed upon the lowe
leaves of the corn and rape and max
excellent gains.
Lambs not only make a rapid AM
cheap gain on forages Of this kind, bu

so arranged that the work Of caring
for them will not be arduous., The
living porch or sun parlor is 16 by IL
feet inches, and is equipped with
broad easement windows, so that it Is
all that the name, sun parlor, implies.
Double doors open into the porch out
of a living room that extends across
the whole front of the house. The liv-
ing room is Is feet long and Is feet 6
inches wide, and has q large fireplace
at the end opposite from the porch.
Opening off the living room at right
angles is the dining. room, also large. 1t
is 10 by 20 feet. In the L, which Is
formed by the living and dining rooms,
are the kitchen, adjoining the dining
room and the wide, open stairway out
Of the living room. The kitchen Is .
feet 6 inches by - feet 6 inches, large
enough to accommodate the needs Of
the family, but not so large as to
make the work performed in it tire
some task. Two doors lead out Of
the kitchen, one to the porch at the
side and the other adjacent to the
rear door Of the garage, which is of
the same architectural design as the
house. Upstairs there are three large
bedrooms, the bath room, and a good
sized sleeping porch, equipped with
a space-saving bed, which also makes

This does not allow the use Of SET

plowed and a second crop seeded t
afford later forage crops.
Where lambs are to 60 to market a
effort should be made to get them Of
early. Lambs make the best an
cheapest gains during the first foC
months of their lives. A grain fee
fed in a lamb creep arranged in tn
field will prove helpful in pushing th
lambs along and keeping them in goo
condition. This feed should consist {
corn, oats ard bran. Lambs should b
fed all but no more than they wi
clean up each day. Never put clea
feed into the trough where old fee
remains.
Lambs weighing 60 to Is pound
make the most desirable market offel
ing. The reason is that lambs of thi
size dress out a desirable market cal
