HOW TO BEAT
 THE EGG BARONS

Storrs, Conn, April 10. - Three quarts of waterglass and a 22-gaIIon galvanized iron ash-can enabled a Storrs woman to outwit the cold stor- age houses, according to Roy E. Jones, poultry specialist for the Ex- tension Service of Connecticut Agri- cultural College. The eggs went into the ash can in April, 1918, when eggs were selling at forty cents a dozen, and they came out last fall and win- ter when fresh eggs were selling at eighty cents to $1.15 dozen
 Anybody can do it, according to Mir. Jones. The ash can isn't essen- t!al because you can use stone jars, washtubs, glassware - in fact any thing that can be made watertight. There are other solutions than water glass for preserving eggs. but water glass is generally admitted to be safest and best.
 In order to make il easier for city housewives to obtain eggs for putting down in waterglass, the County Farm Bureaus are compiling lists of far mers and pouitrymen having selected eggs to sell. It is pointed out tha: eggs to be preserved in waterglasz must be strictly fresh and selected

What do you think of Bridge port" was the first question put to pr. Day; and his immediate reply was. Bridgeport is a city of all cities in America. It Is great place to live in. If life is to have q share In rapid develop ment from good to best, there is no finer place to live in than Bridgeport. If, on the other hand, life is to be cIassed as be- ing simply comfortable or to be cut off from the process of growth, be shut up with just one kind of people, to feel and care about only one kind of people, then Bridgeport would be a bad place to live in.
 "The aim to find 6 happy life by excluding from experiences everybody except those who think as we do, feel as we do-if life is self centered and the most de- sirable thing is to escape from the great problems of a com munity, then Bridgeport would not be a great city. But when life is to serve, to experience, to come in contact with various kinds of people; to share in the mpIexities of the citizens and enter as much in the shadow as in the light of a community, in which each class learns to know each other and all are trying to find the real meaning of liberty, equality and fraternity, then Bridgeport IS one of the most inspiring places to live in. These things are found in Bridgeport

VIEWS OF OR. WILLIAM HORACE
 DAY ON CITY OF BRIDGEPORT

and am happy to be a citizen of a city with such qualities.'
 Bridgeport is an experiment station for every kind of social problem. The disease of society can often be best seen and best cured in a community where life is still plastic and in the making. The institutions of the city, the churches, schools, business and recreational centers have a chal- lenging opportunity to couple the practical with the ideal. A city that dares to disturb old tradi- tions and go to the expense of breaking down buildings for a Plaza or laying out and widening streets, is certain to have a noble future."
 will you tell us of your social theories" he was asked and he summed up the answer in a few words.
 My social theories are those of Christ. As Prof. Kent said last Sunday, Many a socialist leader has better understood the spirit of Jesus than any professor or minister The burning passion of the sincere socialist at all cost to himself or to others, is to bet ter the lot of the poor and de- velop new social orders in which human rights should be superior to money rights.
 "The passion to sacrifice for the welfare of the people is fre- Quently in the spirit of Jesus. Yet, there is kind of socialism which tends to undervalue the import ance of the\ individual, which fails to appreciate dreams of making every man like every other man-that seems to con- flict with the deepest religion of life. Equality in a democracy should not mean a social attempt to cut off the abilities of the strong man, but rather the de- velopment of the weak. It means an equality of opportunities for every man to use all powers na- ture has given him and develop them as best he can"
 Speaking on the work of the Forum Of the church. Dr. Day said We are completing the second season of our forum. It has brought a number of con spicuous and able thinkers to Bridgeport. It has demonstrat- ed the fact that the platform of church ought to be as free as any of the minds of leading thinkers and as free as any in stitution in the city. It has af- foTded a floor from which any person may speak, no matter what his view may be. The forum is emphatcalIy a platform not for partisan or sectarian propa- ganda, but for the ideal educa- tion. Views may be frankly presented subject to the freest possible questioning and discus sion. It Is based on spreading light, not to stereotype opinion. The Bridgeport forum has invited speakers of every creed and race and made clear that religious ideas ought to be as freely dis cussed as social and educational ideas'
 Members of the United Church are planning a farewell reception for Dr. Day on Easter Monday at the church. During his past two years as pastor of the church, he has become a great favorite in the city. pr. Day has appeared at almost every great function here and has made addresses be- fore the largest organizations in the city.

Bidding Bridgeport good bye before his departure for Europe on April 23, Dr. William Horace Day, pastor of the United Con- gregational church, who will be one of the representatives at thS National conference of Congre- gadonal churches at London, England, and later take mp work in Frahce under the Y. M. c. A., expressed his opinion of Bridge port to a Times represeEtati tive yesterday. His views on social problems, the future of the city, the work of the Forum of the United church and on socialism in general are most interesting. But why explain? In Dr. Days own words his thoughts will be best appreciated:

There is still time to do one more thing which will increase your 1919 wheat yield.
 If your fields have come through the winter with rather large open, un- even spots, or if the plants have a somewhat sickly, yellowish appear Rnce, top-dressing of fertilizer high ln ammonia applied shortly after early Epring growth has started. will add bushels to your yields.
 Plenty of available plantfood at the right time in the spring causes the young wheat plant to throw off extra Ehoots or "tiller out" as it is called. This thiclrens the stand of stalks which will later produce heads.

WONDERFUL!

Elinor Fair. Fox star, who Is seen with Albert Ray in pictures of youth, has no use for a beauty parlor. and makeup paints are of little value to her. She has a perfect complexion and uses no paints at all. just a slight covering of powder to tone the beautiful natural coiers of her skin That is almost but not quite a record and the young lady is modestly proud of it too. Helen Holmes is the actress who made the word almost ne- eegsary for she never used grease paint.

The illustration above, drawn from photograph published by Delaware experiment station, shows how fertiI- izer causes wheat plants to spread out The plants were grown in the open field and were simply taken up and potted for photographing. The plant on the left received no fertilizer, the middle one acid phosphate, and the one at the right received both am- monia and phosphoric acid.
 It is usually safe to count on four to six bushels increase in the wheat crop, if properly top-dressed, and un- der specially favorable conditions the increase may run up to ten bushels.

and as such usually command 4 premium of five to ten cents a dozen. As records for many years show that April and May are invariably the months of lowest egg prices, all eggs preserved in YaterEIass should be put down by May 31 to make the greatest saving. Many persons be- neve that next fall and winter, as was true last year, eggs may be double the spring price.
 Circulars giving complete informa- ton on the preservation of eggs by the watergfass methods may be eb- tained by application to the County Farm Bureaus or direct to the Ex- tension Service, Storrs, Connecticut.

WEATHER IN KANSAS
Fields Too Wet To Be Worked
During Last Week.

Moderately heavy rains, just enough
to keep fields too wet to work most
of the time, fell over Kansas this
week, with a few heavy local down.
pours and hail in the central and
northeastern counties. Temperatures
for the week were not far from nor
NAL, tho there was a cool spell the
middle of the week. No frosts heavy
enough to do any damage were re-
ported.
Wheat continues in a thriving con-
ditiOn in alb parts. Heads are begin
ming to show in the extreme south
eastern counties and some advanced
fields are in the boot as far as the
central and northeastern counties;
elsewhere it is generally beginning to
joint. Its growth is very rank in the
eastern half, especially and in some
places it has already fallen down, but
this is not considered a serious mat
ter as it is believed that sunshiny
weather will straighten it up. In the
south central portion a few yellow
spots appear in fields, due to pro-
longed wet weather.
From SO to rs per cent of the corn
has been planted in the southeast
quarter of the state, but this work has
again been retarded this week by too
much rain and wet fields, tho it is
beginning in a small way in all parts.
The stands so far reported are some
what uneven.
Alfalfa and pastures are making a
fine growth. Alfalfa is ready to cut
in the southeast portion and this work
will begin as soon as drying weather
returns AS a rule from ten days to
two weeks will be required before it is
ready elsewhere.
Oats and barley are looking fine.
many correspondents in the western
half of the state reporting that bar
ley was never better at this time of
the year. In the counties along the
Colorado line it has not all been plant
ed yet. In the northeastern counties
oats are growing slowly and are in
need of warmer weather.
In the extreme southeastern coun-
ties new potatoes are reported to be
as large as marbles, strawberries are
almost ready to ripen and great deal
of grain sorghums have been planted
In the northern and western portions
of the state potatoes are just coming
up and few if any of the grain sor-
guhms have been planted.

FREIGHT TRAFFIC LOSS
Slowing Down of Wartime Manufac-
turing Is Shown.

Washington, May Failing off of
freight traffic this year owing to slow
ing down of wartime manufacturing
is shown by a report just issued by
Director General Hines in connection
with his explanation of the govern
ment deficit of 1892, 100000 in opera
ton of railroads for the first three
months of the year.
In March, 1919, the railroads
recorded 2S,952, 100000 ton miles" as
compared with 37,7O6, 100000 in
March last year. A ton mile" repre-
sents the hauling of one ton one mile

roads hauled 1851, 100000 ton miles
as compared with 29,6S7, 900, 900 in
the same month last year, and in Jan
uary they hauled 80, 3S3,OOO,OOO, or
more than the 1853, 100000 on Janu-
airy. 1918.
at is impossible on the basis of
three months to predict the results
for the year as a whole said Mr.
Hines in a statement, "altho it is be-
lieved the results will be very much
less unfavorable if. as seems to be gen.

NATIONAL LEAGUES
PLAYER LIMIT AT 1S
Heydler Says Sentiment Fa-
vOrs Cutting Down to that
Small Number.

Barney Dreyfuss. president of the
Pittsburg club. and Major Branch
Hickey, president OF the St. Louis club.
were the first OF the major league men
from out of town. to get here yesterday
for the weeks doings.
John Heydler. president Of tho Ma
tional League, said that the prevailing
sentiment in his league favored an
eighteen player limit. This would be
the smallest limit in years. three less
than the twenty-one limit recently de-
cided on by the American League. All
player limits were done away with last
year. but in 1917 the National League
limit was twenty-five.
Our clubs have decided they cannot
spend more than the business can en-
dure." said Heydler. They have
counted costs pretty we'll for next season.
Hotel bills and travelling expenses will
he higher than ever before and there are
big war taxes to be met There must be
a cutting of somewhere 10 get down TO

Heydler said the question OF salaries
was taken UP at the last meeting. but
that no salary limit was decided on.
The sentiment. however, was that the
salaries in recent years had been out
of proportion to the receipts.
