So Advises A. 7. McCook,
As Far-Sighted Policy for

BY HENRY w. FRANCIS.
Cwashington Herald-Cross Atlantic

Paris Aug. 6.-"American manu-
facturers, II they're good business
men, will do business in Europe II
they don't make a cent of profit or
even IL they lose money. They VIII
charge up such losses to advertis-
ing, Just as they would in entering
any new field"
That is the opinion of Anson T.
McCook, of the Hartford, Conn,
Chamber of Commerce and the
Manufacturers Association of Con-
necticut, who represented both
bodies at the conference of the In
ternationsl Chamber of Commerce
in Paris.
There is a large spot of COM

II must be cured from West to

France and England, to those more
affected, Germany, CZecho-Slovakia,

rope supported by the United States

CHINESE RULER
MAY OUSTED
President Is Now Virtually
Held Prisoner In
Peking.
BY HUGH DRYDEN.
C"ashfngton HeraId-Cross Atlantic
] Service. Special Cable Dispateh-)


London, Aug. ss-while the Ce-
lestisls are lighting among them
selves in some obscure internecine
warfare that has not gained any
prominence in the Western press,
the big hnanciers and merchants
here are quite easy in their minds
as to their own particular inter-
ests. They do not take a pessi-
mistic view and this feeling is re-
nected in the stock exchange quo
tations. Hong Kong and Shanghai
Banking Corporation shares show
ing a marked rise, while Chinese
loans and companies working in
China all have appreciated. 1t is
true that the tone in Paris is not
quite so sanguine, quotations for
Chinese stock there being all under
the London figures.
No Patriotism Involved.
1t is fully recognized that the
present trouble is not concerned
with any patriotic principles, but is
the outcome OF the purely personal
ambitions Of certain military lead
ers. and that the party which has
the longest purse will come out on
top.
Foreign residents in Pekipg and
Ttentsin are viewing the matter
ispassionately while the Chinese
In the YangtZe Valley and in the
south have already declared that
they will maintain strict neutrality.
The weakness of the president.
Hau Shih- Chang is the disturbing
feature. He is a splendid type of
the Chinese literati Of the old
school. more at home in the at
mosphere Of the spring and autumn
odes than in the stirring air of
modern politics and the last man
to be able to overawe the contend
ing factions.
Treated with Contempt.
The ambitious soldiers have taken
fun advantage Of this and treat
his edicts Of degradation or ad-
vancement with insolent contempt.
Indeed. for many years, Marshal
Tuan -Chi-San. Of the Frontier De-
fence FORCE (pro-Japanese in pro
clivities), has virtually held the
president prisoner in Peking. Chang
Tso-Lin, Of the Manchurian army
Canti-Japanese). is therefore NOV
ing on Peking to oust is rival and
this is the cause Of the skirmishing
so far reported
In the opinion OF most European
observers Japan holds the key to
the situation II she resolutely sup
ports her protege, Tuan Chi-San
Then Chang Tso-Lin will be
crushed.

MAKE SURE EGGS ARE FRESH
Method Generally Employed by Com
mission Houses for Purpose Is
Known as "Candlinq."

When supplying a fancy trade with
eggs, or on receiving eggs from outside
sources, it Is often desirable to deter
mine their freshness. The method
generally used by commission mer-
chants for this purpose is known as
Gambling" and consists in holding
the egg between the eye and light
so as to note the contents. This
should be done in a darkened room,
using one of the egg testers on the
market or simple homemade tester
The air space in perfectly fresh
egg is very small, and as the egg loses
part Of it's contents by evaporation
this air space increases in size with
the age of the egg. Fresh eggs should
appear clear and bright, showing no
dark spots. Those accustomed to
Gambling" soon learn to detect stale
eggs with a good degree of accuracy
and rapidity.
Another method employed by some
who have not a great number to test
is to put the eggs in basin of water.
If good they will lie on their sides; If
bad they will stand on the small ends.
The older the egg the more upright
it stands, and if very old it will be
suspended in the water or even float
on the surface.
