What Is Needed in Preserving Eggs for Winter supply.

ment Of Agriculture.)
Boys and girls who are members OF
poultry clubs, or those who are in
terested In any way in chickens, should
learn how to candle and preserve
eggs. Gambling means the sorting out
Of bad eggs before strong light in
such a manner that the rays of light
come to the eye through the egg so
that the contents can be seen and the
condition noted.
The shell of a newly laid egg has a
soft "glow" or "bloom" which is sign
of perfect freshness. This glow or
bloom is destroyed by handling, and in
any case disappears after the egg has
been exposed to the air for short
time. After that 1t is difficult to dis
tinguish fresh egg from an old one
by the appearance of the shell, so
Gambling becomes necessary if you
would be sure that the egg is good.

There are two terms In the federal
wheat standards which apply to for
eign material, explain specialists Of
the bureau Of markets, United States
Department Of Agriculture-"dockage'
and foreign material other than
dockage." The term dockage Is ap-
piled to the foreign material which
can be removed readily from the wheat
by the use of appropriate sleeves, clean
ing devices. or other practical means
suited to separate the foreign mate

than dockage Is the foreign material
that Is not separated in the screening
and remains in the dockage-free sam

definite percentages being permitted
within each numerical grade. Dock.
age does not affect the grade.

GINGHAM is THE
STYLISH FABRIC

Z 1.-THE best thing l can tell you about
ginghams,' said the head Of a highly
successful firm In America import
ing materials for wash dresses, rs
that they nre the best thing In the
world. No other cotton dress fab
ric approaches them In volume OF
sales this year."
Every summer wardrobe that makes
any pretension whatever Of approach
Ing completeness should include sew
eral Bingham frocks. This Is good
news, because Bingham has much be-
sides fashion to recommend it. NO
woman is averse to buying inexpensive
clothes that are In the height of fash
ion, and this Is one of the things
that still may be said Of the gingham
frock The price of Bingham Is now
considerably lower than 1t has been
for two or three years.
The prettiest dresses Of this fabric
are simple. the beauty Of such dress
lying In the selection of colors anu
perhaps an unusual bit of trimming.
Checks Brighten Landscape.
II might be expected. with the pres
ent craze for dull, black silk dresses,
that black and white cottons would be
chosen. But fashion, ever contradict
ory, says no. In wash fabrics we must
be gay. Black and white cottons had
their innings last year. Now their
place Is usurped by red and white
checks. There Is goodly showing
Of brown and white rs well as many
greens, but reds are most prominent.
According to an old-tlme saying, IN
individual Is as old as he or she feels,
ind no woman could help feeling very
young I'm these fresh, crisp, wash
dresses that I'm design, material and
coloring are very like those she wore
In her schoolgirl days, Except for
the size 1t would be next to impossible
dresses.
The full skirt which stalks so threat
eningly among the new clothes finds
logical place In the cotton dress. The
slim silhouette Is retained by dress
makers catering to the women who
really know most about dress, and
who always demand beauty In their
clothes, but the full skirt Is among
us. 1t Is not nearly so beautiful In
model Of cloth as those which follow
the natural lines Of the figure, but 1t
Is much more suitable to the dress Of
wash material than the peasant chem

Revival of the British Beard.

A young man about town walked
down Bond street In London recently,
and the sight so shocked the sensitive
British public that the London Daily
Chronicle saw fit to run the item as
a news item.
He was elegantly dressed, says the
paper and carried the familiar cane
of Piccadilly, while monocle reposed
In his right eye. But his beard was
the masterpiece of the outfit. 1t was
very dark, it recalled the pictures Of
the Stuart kings, and created SEN
sation wherever 1t was seen.
The young man, except for his
beard, was Enthusiastically English.
II don't think that boards for young
men are likely to be popular outside
the West end" hairdresser in the
neighborhood of Bond street told a
Chronicle representative.
But certain young men about town
appear to be tired of looking like
stage heroes, and have decided TO
grow boards. A beard makes some
men look younger. and man who has
weak mouth and chin which slight
ly recedes should wea? both mustache
and beard"

and preferably infertile. For this rea-
son it Is always best when possible to
candle the eggs carefully before pre-
serving them unless they are known
to be strictly fresh. If an egg is only
slightly soiled. cloth dampened with
vinegar may be used to remove stains.
but eggs should never be washed with
water or soap and water, as water
removes the protective coating on the
shell and may tend to cause the con-
tents to spoil. Never pse badly-soiled
or cracked eggs. They may spoil all
the others.
Fresh eggs preserved according to
these directions usually will keep for
from six to ten months, and can be
used satisfactorily for cooking and for
the table. If, however, preserved eggs
are to be boiled, small hole should
be MADE with pin i'm the larger end
of the shell before placing them in the
water, to allow the air in the egg to
escape when heated, and thus prevent
cracking.

AlrpIane. Sold FOR 60 Cent?.

The British government recently
sold number of airplanes for 60
cents apiece at the Lincoln airdrome
disposal sale In London.
The machines had become out Of
date after several years of service
and had been junked, the wings and
the engines being removed. Neverthe-
less, the purchasers who paid 60 cents
for an airplane received the body OF
the machine with the copper fittings
and pipes, which In all originally cost
several hundred dollars.
The purchasers, for the greater
part, were anxious to buy the planes
to break up for firewood duging the
coal shortage. Small boys dragged
their fathers along to buy a plane so
that they might get the wheels to use
on scooters and homemade automo-
bIles.

POOLING FEATURE IS
MOST FEASIBLE IDEA
Each Grower Receives Same
Price for His Products.
Individual Members Amply Protected
From Loss Because Of Unfavor-
able Market Conditions Of
Temporary Nature.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The pooling of products sold through
cooperative organizations is an i'm
portanr feature of cooperative mar
keting, specialists Of the United States
Department of Agriculture have found.
BY pooling is meant averaging the re-
turns received for products sold dur
ing certain period, or for certain
shipments, so that each grower hav-
ing products of the same grade re-
ceives the same price The success Of
a pooling system depends upon the OBJ
servance of uniform grading and pack
ing Of the products.
This method of operation, Il is said,
loss because Of unfavorable market
conditions of a temporary nature.
Some farmers marketing organiza-
tions. especially grain-elevator COM
panies, purchase the members prod
ucts outright. Conditions and prac-
tices in grain marketing make such a
plan feasible, but organizations han
ding other products usually find 1t to
their advantage to pool shipments and
await returns before making payments
to the growers.
In this way the association Is re-
lieved of speculative risks, the avoid
ance Of which is highly desirable. Co
operative creameries, which prorate to
the members monthly, in accordance
with the amount Of butter fat each
has delivered the preceding month,
the returns received for products sold
less operating expenses, are good ex-
amples of pooling.
The length of the pooling period
varies with the products handled and
the local conditions. Thus there are
car lot, daily, weekly, senimonthly,
monthly, and seasonal pools.

FIND SHIP IN HEART or CITY
Hull Buried In San Francisco. Records
Show, 10 . Relic Of the Gold
Rush Days.

San Francisco discovered an old
wooden ship under the streets Of it's
business section recently. relates Pop
ular Mechanics Magazine. Contrac-
tors, excavatiDg deep foundation for
new skyscraper with steam shovels,
were hindered In their work by strange
massive timbers found 80 feet below
the surface. They had accidentally
stumbled upon the preserved remains
Of some strange buried craft.
The bronze-sheathed and copper
bolted> hull measured 100 feet In.
length by 30 feet beam. and great in
terest was aroused by the puzzling To-
cation of the relic mile from any
water. The city's history revealed,
however, that 1t was the Euphemia,
a bit of whose historic and romantic
existence Is as follows:
In. the days of 40. when the mad
stampede around the Horn to the new
California gold fields was on, numer-
Gus ships were abandoned by their
crews at the end of the journey, and
left to rot on the mud fats of San
Francisco bay. But, In forming the
municipal government of the fast
growing city by the Golden Gate, the
first town council bought the
Euphemia, and converted 1t into a
prison ship. Those were trough"
days in San Francisco and this, the
first Jail the city could boast, was tied

An old sketch of the scene at this
part of the water front reveals an
other ship, the Apollo, converted into
saloon and lodging house. AS the
city grew and forced the waters sof
the bay back from the spot by filing
was formed of strange ship sticking
up out of the ground in the heart of
the city, surrounded by substantial
stone and brick structures.
During the next 90 years, the city
attained great size. Then 1t was sud-
denly half leveled by a great fire. And
had It not been for the necessity Of
deep foundation for the latest edi-
flee to rise over the spot, u years
after the Euphemia became Jail, the
old hull would have slumbered on for
another fifty or one hundred years.
AS 1t was the contractors experienced
considerable difficulty In removing the
mud and sand-locked skeleton with
modern steam tackle, but made small
fortune out of the sale of the heavy
copper and brass junk found on it.

MISS ANN
BY HAZEL v. PARIS.

&c. 1921. by Mcclure Newspaper s. ldicate.)
}On that hot August morning the sun
beat down mercilessly on the little VII

stirred up clouds of dust that settled
on the dried brown and already thick
ly coated grass and trees. Only the
whirr of the locust broke the heavy
the blazing blue sky promised relief
from the intolerable weather:
At the click Of the gate and the
sound of quick step on the brick
path, Miss Elizabeth Ann pushed her
spectacles up from the tip Of her nose
and waited for her visitor to appear
around the corner of the little porch.

whose heavy odor made the atmos-
phere more oppressive.
Good morning, Miss EmmOns," said
the CHEEKY voice of young man, tall
and fair, his well-built figure showing
to splendid advantage In the service
uniform Of a major.
"Why, Bobbie Andrews! Bless my
soul! We didn't expect you back for
at least a month yet. Bless my soul
Elizabeth, Elizabeth Ann" she called,
as she turned In the doorway
"Yes. auntie." Then as she saw the
man, "Bobl" IN a second she was in
his arms laughing. sobbing, crying, all
In the same breath.
Bob, can't believe It's true-back
oh! can scarcely believe it's YOU"
AS the two lovers, arm in arm, went
down from the little porch and over
to the old grape arbor, Miss Elizabeth
Ann resumed her seat and her knit
ting behind the honeysuckle vines. For
few moments she worked quietly
and steadily; then, as the tears, which
stubbornly refused to be kept back,
blinded her vision and dropped on her
gnarled, wrinkled fingers, she laid
down her needles and wept softly and
TREMENDOUSLY.

In her quaint hoop-skirt, with her
black hair arranged smoothly in braids
around her ears, had stepped out shy
ly to greet her lover, Bobbie Andrews

haired lady sitting behind the honey
suckle vines, together they had gone
down from the little porch into the

There Is almost no air cell at the large
end and the yolk outline is only family
visible. A fixed air cell of One-eighth
to three sixteenths Of an inch in depth
Indicates fresh egg, as eggs run gen.
orally. A larger air cell with a NOV
able lower line indicates-according
TO sizes and fluctuations--a stale egg
or one becoming weak and watery.
Very small dark spots sometimes seen
usually are blood clots. Large dark
spots, blood rings, and shadows are
due to heat and termination, and in
dictate first stages Of decay. An egg
that appears very dark or black, ex-
cept for large fixed air cell, con-
tains chick at an advanced stage
Of incubation.
Fresh eggs, properly preserved,
may be kept from six to ten months
and be almost as good for household
purposes as fresh eggs. Another rea-
son for preserving eggs In water glass,
for instance, is the fact that they do
not acquire the Objectionable "cold-
storage taste"
Allow Three Dozen to Gallon.
To preserve 10 dozen eggs in wa
ter glass these directions are given
by the specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture:
Select a flve-gallon earthen crock,
clean it thoroughly, scald, and allow
It to dry. Heat ten to twelve quarts
of water to the boiling point, and al
low 1t to cool. When the water Is
cool, measure out nine quarts put In.
to the crock, and add one quart OF
sodium silicate, commonly called wa.
ter glass, which can be bought at any
drug store. Stir well so that the so
luton becomes thoroughly mixed.
The solution thus prepared Is ready
for the eggs, which may be put In all
at once, or from time to time as they
are obtainable. Care should be taken
In putting them into the jar not to
crack or break the shells; also be
sure the solution covers the eggs at
all times. Put the crock containing
the preserved eggs in a cool, dry
place, and cover with a tight lid or
waxed paper to. prevent evaporation

be mixed and prepared in the same
proportions

ural color crash is most attractive
with heavy embrolderies in brown.
The skirt portion was embroidered
with heavy threads of mercerized
brown cotton from the hem to about
the knees; 1t was chemlse dress.
The bottom Of the sleeves were orna-
mented in like manner, and so was a
narrow collar which stood straight
up around the neck, but turned down
In the front, as the dress was slashed
and folded back to form revers.
Dress That Harks Back to 1880.
A new way of using worsted en-
broidery on a linen frOck, and also
of obtaining good deal of color,
appears in demure gray chemise
dress. It has an apron tunic In
the front only, attached to the
waist portion at low line. The
trimming consists Of appllqued motifs
of bright colored linen In novel shapes
stitched to the dress with worsted Of
contrasting hue.
AS variation of the embroidered
trimming, straight chemise frocks of
heavy white linen--the chemise model
is used for. the heavier fabrics--are
trimmed straight down front and back
panels with points OF red and white
checked Bingham. The Bingham also
is stitched in pointed effect around the
necklne, which is somewhat high but
a shallow oval in form, and around
the sleeves.
The short cap sleeve, which Is just
little puff, is used In summer dresses
of the lighter materials, such as voiles
and crepes. 1t also makes ain occa-
sional appearance in some of the heav-
Ter fabrics, but, although the dress IT.
self is of heavier cotton, the 1880
sleeve Is Of thinner material. For
instance, quaint looking dress Of
lowered chintZ made with a straight
bodice and full-gathered skirt, has puff
sleeves of white organdie, the cuffs
Of which are stitched with red worsted.
Further touches of the organdie APP
pear in the form Of picoted ruffles en-
cIrcling skirt and deep, round neck.
Modes Of Halrdressings
The modes Of hairdressing in Paris
Indicate vogue for smooth and I'M
curled arrangements of the hair, as In
opposition to the much-waved and
puffed couture which has been worn
for several years. The exaggerated
psyche knot low down on the head Is
much affected by Englishwomen as
well as Parislennes. Although the
hair is arranged not only with plain
ness, but apparently with precision,
most fantastic headdresses are worn.
The large Spanish comb Is retained.
The newest combs are of ivory rather
than shell. These white combs are
most effective. For those who do not
like an all-white comb they may be
had with beautiful enamelIng In color
as well as with settings Of precious
