used in making an icing or pudding. The dish may be acceptable, but the food value is not the same as if eggs were used say home economies specialists of the United States Department of Agri- culture.
 There are number of commercial pro- ducts designed as egg substitutes, some of which approach eggs in composition much more nearly than others. Of these products, some are fairly we'll known to housekeepers while others are used chiefly in commercial baking and for similar purposes. The various kinds diff fer much in composition, some being much more like eggs in protein content and energy value than others. In judg- ing such products one should not rely upon appearance. Yellow color does not necessarily indicate other egg yolk char acteristics. Some of these egg substi- tutes, at least, are manufactured from skim milk and are said to contain milk casein and albumin mixed with little flour. Such a product is evidently rich in protein. Other egg substitutes have
 ben devised which consist of mivtufes
 of animal or vegetable fats, albumin. and starch or flour.

Rice Grades

Proposed federal grades for milIed rice grown in the continental United States have just been published by the depart ment of agriculture. Before these grades are adopted public hearings will be held by the chief of the bureau of markets, and growers, handlers, millers and others interested are invited to be present and make suggestions. These suggestions will be considered by the secretary in finally fixing official standards hereafter to be enforced by the department under the grain standards act.
 The idea of federal grades for milled rice is not new to the rice industry. In September, 1918. the department published a. set of permissiye standards which was adopted by the United States food admin istration and afterwards by various boards of trade and other grading agen- cies throughout the United States, but tho grades were never enforced under the grain standards act. However, they wore the first standards in the United States which embodied definite factors of grad ing and are now in use to great extent in the trade.
 Tho public hearings will be held at Charleston on March 10 at a. nl.. Charleston Hotel; New Orleans, March F. 9'30 a. n., St. Charles Hotel; Beaumont. Tex. March 13. 9:9o a. m. Crosby Hotel.
 Some changes in the permissiye stand- ards have been made, changes in defini- tion, terms and grade requirements, to conform to the results of the applica- ton of the permissive grades, further ir- vestigations of the department and com ments received from members of the rice trade. Among these are the following:
 In the names of the classe in the stand ards the designation Hong" has. been sub |stituted for s'Honduras," Medium for
 Blue Rose' and "Short'' for 'Japan:
 while new class, "Medium-O Opaque" has been provided to include the opaque type
 of the Early Prolific variety of rice. The translucent type of this variety will be graded along with the varieties Blue Rose and Louisiana Pearl. These class names are a departure from common expres- sions in the rice trade. The former des' ignations wer names of specific varieties but included other3varieties for the pur poses of the standards
 To include several variesYes of rice undel the name of one variety might result 1T confusion the experts of the departmen believed The original grades classineo all Early Prolific rice with Blue Rose and Louisiana Pearl. On account of th' opacity of some lots of Early Proliht this type has been placed in separate class. In this way 1t may be graded as any other class and opacity will in nc way cause it to grade down. as was tn' case when it was included with Blue Ros' and Louisiana Pearl, as provided In th' former standards published.

ROBBERY ATTEMPT ALLEGED

Anniston, March 3--(SpeciaD. Arrest of two soldiers. Privates Rote and Gross, of the headquarters detachment at Camp Mcclellan, Tuesday afternoon, upon the complaint of Price Driver, an Alabama. Hotel barber. brings to light the filing of a charge of attempted robbery pre- ferred against the two soldiers by the barber.
 The barber alleges that the two men attacked him on West Thirteenth street last Saturday night about midnight, both of them striking him and making an att tempt to secure a handbag carried by the barber. Driver sustained several se- were cuts about the head in the melee.
 MT. Driver claims that he brought the case to the attention of city officers i,n- n.ediately after the robbery. but his iden- tifcation of one ot his assaIlants was not considered sufficient to cause his arrest, hence his appeal to the military authori- ties
 An investigation into the charges against the two soldiers was begun at the cantonment Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, and the examination of large number of witnesses was begun at that hour.

SEAT SALE FOR GUY BATES
 POST BEGINS TOMORROW

Guy Bates Post, who comes to the Jeff
 ferson Theatre next Monday, Tuesday
 and Wednesday, with Wednesday mati-
 nee, is to be haled as the zenith of the
 theatrical successes for this season. Ai-
 though there have been many stars that
 have come to the Jefferson this year, the
 coming of Post is an event that is caus-
 ing quite ripple among the lovers of the stage. Few actors are versatile enough
 to play a role such as "The Masquarad- er." It calls for talent to take a dual role. and especially upon the speaking stage, when one character quickly fol- Jews another with lightning-like rapidly. Every one who sees ''The Masquarad- er' has an explanation of the tricks by which Guy Bates Post, who plays the dual role of John Chilcote and John Lod- CT, appears to De in two places at the same time. Of course, the difficulties in playing the double part are great. just from the one standpoint of the sud- den shifts in characterization, make up and costume. But in addition the l playwright has put the star in tight

Angoras Clear Land

The success which has attended the raising of Angora goats in the rugged Ozark country of southwestern Mis- souri has suggested to specialists or the United States department Of agri- culture that 1t might be equally profit- able to place such herds on many other wild tracts, particularly those which have been cut over. because these goats are proving of great heip Tn clearing away underbrush. While growing mohair and producing Kids. the Angoras in the Ozarks are also trimming down the brush, maturing the hills and preparing the way, for grass. cattle and sheep.
 Some owners of brush lands, not wishing to invest in goats. have paid goat owners from 50 to 75 cents per animal per season to clear the land for them. Thus the herd owners, by renting out their goats. have received good returns for their browsing in- stead of having to pay feed bills.
 In addition to the rental income. good Angora nannies. when properly cared for are returning an average oI three to three and one-half pounds of mohair and are bearing a goodiy mum Der of kids. Well-bred. thrifty wethers. bucks and young goats are keeping the average of mohair clip up to about three and one-half pounds With mohair selling at from 50 to 75 cents pound and kids valued at *s to s4 per head. each rented mamie re- turns from $5 to $7 per year. gross
 According to reports secured by a representative of the State College or Arriculture. in Missouri. the number of Angoras required to clear an acre Of land varies from two to five. de- rending on the density and size Of the brush. Two years of constant brows- ing with this number of goats results in absolute destruction of practically all underbrush. Tn some cases the animals have suffered from contin"ous browsing in dense undergrowth for too long a period and some goat men are finding it advisable to provide A better range where their animals can feed part of the time.

box on two special occasions in the play and it takes the audience several nio- ments each time to recover from the shock of seeing him in the place where it does not seem normally possible for him to be.
 The first of these occasions Is during the scene in Lady Antrupps garden. That suspicious hostess has discovered the scar on the hand Of the man who is supposed to be Chilcotte. but who is in reality Loder. Spy talk is in the air and suspicion Is at once aroused. Loder steps back into an alcove of the gar den and by accidentally escapes at the same time that Chilcote, impersonated by double of uncanny resemblance, ap- pears. The crowd goes into the alcove and drags the latter through a gateway, only to discover that they are face to face with Post and not the substitute.
 Another startling change occurs in the last act, when Post as Loder leaves ms rooms with the substitute as Chilcste lying asleep on the couch A few mo ments later, when Chilcote awakens. 1t is Post who is there to speak the lines.
