When Eggs Are High

(This is the first of several articles
of advice OF how you may retslcc your
cost OF living-I
Eggs are higher now than they
have been since late last inter and
as colder weather comes the price will
increase.
Egg prices are of much concern to
all but two classes of people:
Those who eat no eggs and
Those who have lens laying eggs
for them.
OF these two, the latter are the bet
ter off. for there is no doubt about
fresh eggs being good food.
Poultry yards not only cut out of
the family's living expenses the cost
of eggs, but reduce meat bills. as
ROSTERS and nom laying hens often
take the place of roasts. e. and
other high-priced meats.
A dozen hens carried through the
winter will supply the average sized
family with eggs for breakfas. every
day and for cooking and baking pur-
poses. When they are at the end of
their laying season, say along next
spring. when eggs will be cheaper,
those not wanted for Matching small
chicks may be butel,ered.

ways been most cordial, he said, the
plan of giving the commission the
power to suspend rates initiated by
che President would not result in seri-
Gus embarrassment.
Representative Sims asked if the pub
lie interests demand that legislation of
the character now under consideration
be enacted, especially in view of the
fact that Congress purposes to legis-
late with a view to forming a perma-
nent railroad policy.
"The President has announced that
the railroads will be returned to their
owners at the end of this calendar
year." Mr.. Hines replied During the
short continuation of the period of
Federal control it seems to me that
the responsibility for operation and
other matters should be concentrated
in the President.
"The things which brought about the
demand for this action resulted from
annoyances due to the pressure of war
necessity. The bill as it stands would
upset the whole scheme Of rate initia-
tion and put on the government the
responsibility of paying the debts of
the railroads.
The committee vas asked by repre-
sentatives of short line railroads to
amend the proposed legislation so as
to insure protection for their lines in
the payment Of judgments obtained d
either against the government or the
railroads.

WGsh;r 1tOn Purecu

WASHINGTON, June 2e.-Seeking to
establish the theorem that the whole
policy of governmental cooperation
with industry during the war was fund
amentaliy wrong. the War Expendi-
lures Committee to-day in effect asked
two witnesses whether it was not
fallacious policy.
]. Grosvernor Clarkson, secretary of
the Council of National Defence, which
evolved the policy. upheld it, but ad-
mitted that there were two sides to the
question, and welcomed the researches
of the committee.
The other, Charles Eisenmann. Of
New York, vice-chairman of the Coun-
Gil OF Defence committee on supplies,
central figure in storm of criticisms
regarding army purchases in the fall of
1917, emphatically upheld the policy
fronted with the same problem again it
should be met in the same way.
The witnesses agreedswith committee
members that the policy of the Coun-
Gil of National Defence in bringing
industry to the service of the govern
ment in the war emergency eliminated
competition, in the main, and put the
supervision of vast government pur-
chases into the hands of business men
who, in broad sense always. and in a
particular sense often, did business
with themselves.
Cites Huge Saving
Mr.. Clarkson cited the testimony of
". S. Clifford, former director of the
Council of National Defence, before the
Senate Military Affairs Committee that
this policy had saved the government
and the public 100000 900 in iron
and steel products alone.
Mr.. Eisenmann stated that his COM
mittee of dollar-a-year men had pur-
chased $800,000,000 of goods for the
government at an entire expense of
$4,000 in nine months, whereas, after
criticism, the committee retired from
the field and turned the job over to
the Quartermaster's Department of
the army. the clerk hire alone of that
department in connection with pur-
chasing during twelve months was
$1,000 900.

the rejection by the War Department |
of all bids made last Friday for the |
governments surplus supply Of cann.d

definitely ruled that municipalities ana
small bidders would be given oppor-l
tunity 20 acquire portions of the 143,-'
100000 pounds now held in the army
supply zones.
Baltimore is the first city that has
made an offer to purchase some of the
surplus. A miscellaneous supply of
canned meats and vegetables amount
ing to $1,000 in value will be turned
over to that municipality at the price
paid for the supplies by the govern
ment.
The rejected bids were received
largely from packing concerns. The
highest price offered was approxi
mately SO per cent of the cost to the
government. The bids on corned beef
reached the low level Of 25 per cent
Of the original cost.
"The War Department" Mr.. Baker
said to-day, desiring to give the
American public full opportunity to
purchase the surplus food stocks held
Dy IL, mas sought TO market ltS 1000
commodities in this country 1t was
with this object in view that bids on
the stocks of meat were asked, not
only from the trade, but from state
and municipal institutions. None of
the sealed bids submitted for the sur
plus meats was made by the states,
municipalities, or public institutions.
an disposing Of the surplus war
materials the director of sales is
charged with the duty of obtaining for
the government as large a percentage
as possible Of the original cost price.
The offers which have come to his office
since the bids were opened have con-
vinced him that a higher percentage of
recovery can~be effected through dis
posing OF the surplus stocks by nego-
tiation.
Having determined to dispose of the
surplus meat through negotiations the
War Department invites applications
