average person uses Is dozen eggs Ee- tween August and March.
 When storing the eggs it is advisa- ble to put them in a cool place and to cover them to prevent evaporation
 The Fairfield County Farm Bureau with a local office at the Food RI.=, City Hall Green, has a list of reltapie poultrymen from whom strictly fresh eggs may be obtained which are es- pecially desirable for putting down. These names may be secured by call ing in person at the Food Hut or by calling on the phone, Barnum 3521.
 Uses for Eggs Which Have Been
 Stored in Water Glass.
 The eggs which have been stored after the manner described may be used any time within one year though it is advisable to begin using the eggs in August and at Thanksgiving time about half of the eggs should be used up. The eggs should be carefully washed after removing from the water glass solution. If the egg Is to be boiled it should have a pin hoIo. made in the large end before boiling.

MAY--ThE MONTH 0E EGGS
By MISS H. l. WEED (Home Demonstration Agent)

The month of May offers us our ' last opportunity to secure eggs at a reasonable price. If we do not make the most of our chance to secure eggs when they are moderately abundant and obtainable at fair price, we are going to have to depend upon a sup ply of unknown source as the season advances. We are appreciating more and more the food value of the egg and it is amazing the various ways n which eggs can be utilized as a food for breakfast dinner and supper. For decorative purposes the possibilities of eggs are Hmitless.
 For the past two years. fresh egg prices from August to March have been nearly twice as high as from April 15 to March 15. From experi- ence it has been discovered that one of the most satisfactory methods of keeping eggs has been through the use of water glass---a liquid which makes an air-tight coating over the egg shell without affecting the quaI- ity of the egg. This water glass can be purchased from drug and grocery stores. It is necessary to use one quart of water glass to nine quarts of water that has been boiled and cool ed, to cover each 15 dozen eggs. The water and the water glass should be mixed well before putting in the eggs and this mixture should come at least two inches above the top layer of the eggs. To store the eggs any container 1 will answer the purpose but it is preferable to use galvanized iron for it is so durable and very economical in the end. If a wooden container | is used it should be first lined with cloth. to prevent the eggs from cling | Ing to the sides of the container A | five gallon receptacle will hold 15 1 dozen eggs.
 1 In selecting the eggs for storage it 1 is necessary that they should be ab-
 solutely fresh, received clean from the nest-if it is necessary to wash
 the eggs they should not be used for
 putting down for the washing re- | moves the natural waxy coating from the shell. If one is collecting the eggs
 from their own flock it is possible to place them in the water glass as col
 lected. If a reliable poultry man can
 be found it is very desirable to pur-
 chase the eggs from a source that
 can be depended upon. Carefully se-
 lected eggs usually run about five tc
 ten cents above the market price. IT

made. The United States commits sion, which conducted the inquiry, re- ported grave doubt of Moneys guilt. His sentence was conmuted to life Imprisonment.
 Mrs. Mooney is a music teacher, an interesting. charming and accom- plished woman. She believes in the innocence of her husband, and is go- ing about the country, telling her faith in him
 It is undeniab1e that somebody threw a bomb in San Francisco, and that by this act persons were wan tonly and wicked1y killed. It is un- deniable that those persons ought to be punished to the utmost.
 The whole question in the Mooney case is concerned with his guilt or innocence. Mooney was a labor lead CT. He had been active in strikes He was bitterly hated by employers.
 It was shown conclusively that many of the witnesses against him were members of the lowest strata ot society, and it was proved that they had testified falsely. And in this way many people came to believe thai Mooney is not guilty.
 The case is of national importance because the labor of ths country, largely regards Mooney as the vic tim of a ''frameup." Demonstrations taking the form of mass meetings and protest strikes are in process.
 This is the reason why every American should make himself ia. rniliar with the facts; since all have to suffer through the social disturb ances that have grown out of the Mooney trial, and that attend upoT the crusade to get him a new trial.

The New Clothes

A summary of the impressions re- ceived at the Rainbow ball for the 'fboW of promise in the fashion world is the wider skirt, the popularity of all shades of blue, the use of fine laces, much tulle, and ostrich feather trimming, ankle length skirts be- ruffled from the narrow foot line to the knees, softly and irregularly trimmed and sheathe-like draper1es, lending wider lines to the hips than below.
 TulIe wreaths the head, warns the throat, sashes the waist, drapes the skirts; in short is used for all parts of the costume, in one or many shades. It is most artistically em- broidered with silk and silver and gold threads and beads, and holds a leading place in make up" of all gowns.
 4 peach coIored taffeta, has the breadths of a. rather wide skirt knit ted together with silk, showing an underlay of blue. The skirt is em- broidered on the bodice at a low line and the latter knitted together in small squares of the silk, solidly em- broidered. The neck is low and sleeves short.
 The success that has attended the gi1ets of brocaded or embroidered ribbon, satin and similarly heavy ma terials for wear with spring suits, has inspired neckwear- designers to carry out the same lines in sheerer mater ials and daintier styles.
 There are two distinct types. One which suggests jabot origin, consists of row up or row of frills about two inches deep, the last frill falling just over the waistline- This is shown in net fittings, in lace-edged net ruffles, in Iace-edged or embroidered organ die Hand embroidery is used on some, but the effect is always dainty
