Urbana, H., April Slow would you like to buy dozen eggs. guar anteed stale, for $12.000? With prices of ordinary Then fruit' flut- tering back to near reasonable levels, $1,000 seems high for any egg, but that is the estimated value of a single egg in the Natural History Museum of the University of Illinois here It is the egg of a passenger pigion, an American bird now ex- tinct The egg was given to the University by T. E. Musselman, a former student.
 The last known passenger pigeon died in the Cincinnati Geological Gardens about five years ago. Fol lowing the birds death, the American Ornithologists Union offered $7,000 to any one proving the existence of a nesting pair, but none of the origi- nal species was ever discovered.
 Passenger pigeons were once so nu- merous in the Mississippi Valley that their migrations darkened the sky.

CHICAGO TRYING TO
 EVICT LUCKY HOUSEBOATERS

Chicago, April 8.-Houseboaters are fighting an effort to evict them from mooring on the Chicago river.
 Marshal w. Finucane of the drain age district issued the eviction order. The water colony refused to abide Finucane is consulting the city's law department as to the next move
 A court battle to determine the rights of water squatters is in pros pect.
 Houseboaters, driven to life onSthe water by high rents, assert politics is back of the effort to make 'em "sail on."
 Some of the houseboats have all the comforts of home. Showerbaths, telephones, lace curtains, pianos, electric lights and running water all these conveniences have been ln- stalled to make the squatters' life the envy of their land neighbors.
 And instead of laying out a hund- red or more month for rent, the houseboaters pay nothing outside of the cost of building boat.
 "We are the only families in Chica- go who don't fear the rent hog, " said Mrs. Charlotte Russ, skipper of the watervilla "Hsppy Life" one of the model residences of the colony. s'We love it here and I am so tired of hotel life The only way they'll get us to move is by court edict."

TAKES LAURELS FROM
 BROW OF BETSY ROSS

Philadelphia, April 9.--(United Press. .)-Do you doubt the story in our school history books which taught us that Betsy Ross designed the American Flag in 1776? Louis Bareeroft Bunk, an attorney and major of ordinance in the reserve corps, declares that the story is a fake. Bunk. in a book he has just published, entitled "The Birth of Our Flag and Flag Etiquete," says Betsy Ross story "rests solely on her own testimony, which is absolutely un- corroborated, and the best historians today consider it without historical basis"
 *It is earnestly claimed by the de. cendants of Betsy Ross that on ol about June 1, 1776. she was waited upon at her house, 239 Arch Street Philadelphia, by General Washington and an alleged committee of the Continental Congress; that they ask ed her to make flag and that she promised to try; that they showed her a drawing whose proportions she criticised and that General Washing ington himself altered the drawing according to her suggestion" says the book
 Betsy was lady of lively imagin- ations and short memory as is shown by her ability to wed three times in ten years.
 ''Her story rests solely on her own testimony which is entirely uncor- roborated and the best historians to- day consider it without eny historical basis
 The book declares that Washington visited Philadelphia in 1776 for only two weeks and he nor the alleged Congressional committee or it's re- cords ever mentioned such a visit to Betsy Ross. Bunk, in his book, cites several other incidents i,, history which he says substantiate his claims.
 ..It is regrettable if I overthrow any childhood traditions or local pride that any may have about Betsy Ross but my duty is to give the im- partial verdict of American histor- ians,' the author says.

THE GLORY OF CHEWING GUM.

No twentieth amendment threatens chewing gum nor will one if Senator Sherman of Illinois is on hand to prevent it. He is speaking for the packers bill, but where shall one find pepsin without pigs and pigs without packers.
 MT. Sherman: What under the heavens would the gum chewers do if pepsin could not be furnished now in commercial form? It gives us an excuse to chew for the stomach's sake, as wine was advised by Paul to Timothy. Chewing gum never could have reached it's present magnitude if it had not been for the pepsin taken from the packing plants of the country. The confirmed dyspeptic chews pepsin gum. No hurtful re- suits follow. It is not like other bad habits. He has some excuse for it. It produces no rosy blush upon any of his features, and no chronic habit results except the working of the jaws, and that probably is blessing, for while we are working that way we are not working them some other way to the detriment of our neigh bors. So out of that seemingly humble thing, matter of criticism here, has come a great industry. It is a safety valve for the nervous and a minor activity to us all when under strain.-The Nations Business.

QUITE A JOB TO TAKE MIME.
 CURES RADIUM TO FRANCE
By HENRY WOOD

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Paris. (By Mail )-Just how Madam Curie is going to bring back to France the gramme of radium that American women will present to her and to the French Faculty of Sci encesa presents a ticklish little prob lem
 If Madan Curie, for example, merely put the gramme of radium in her pocket for the return trip several things might happen. First, she might lose it. Secondly, some international but unscientific pick pocket might be tempted by the fact that it is worth about two million francs. Third and worsely, if Mad anne Curie were to bring the gramme of radium home in her pocket, the things that would happen to her would mean greater loss to the scientific world than as though some clever thief pinched the gramme.
 While Madame Curie probably wouldn't die on the spot, neverthe- less the radio-activity of radium is so great and it's effect upon the tissues so startling that were Madame Curie to show her appreciation of Ameri- ca's gift by never parting with the precious gramme certain death would ensue.
 The burning and destruction of the tissues that come from exposure to radium do not manifest themselves at once The action of the radium is not on the skin itself, but on the tissues underneath. The sores en- gendered by exposure to radium be- gin to show themselves some two weeks afterwards.
 However, Madame Curie is entirely too wise to the eccentricities of rad ium to allow herself to be trapped into any too close familiarity or even to endanger sub epidermus of other passengers on the boat who will &C., company her and the gramme back from New York.
 In fact it has already been decided that the mischievous little gramme of radium will be split up into twelve or fifteen smaller and less mischiev- ious parts.
 Each one of these parts will be en- closed in a glass bulb and each bulb enclosed in a nice little lead case of about two inches in thickness-lead and platinum being nonconductors of radio-activity.
 The twelve or fifteen little lead cases will then be slowed away in the ships safe and if any enterpris- ing thief wants to monkey with the combination in order to get his fling CTS on that two million francs worth ! of radium-why Madame Curie says he will just have to take all the risks himself, both legally and scientifi- cally.
 And she has very firm conviction that the scientific radio-activity ef- fleets on the thief will render it quite unnecessary for the law to intervene in the case.

LET'S STAY OUT.

Germany would like to float an International loan and have the Unit ed States as one of the participating nations. But Germany forgets that this country now has about $13,- 000,000,00O tied up in European leans from which she stands very little chance of realizing.
 The government of the United States has already been too prodigal iE it's loans. We have a few things over here that were very nearly wrecked as a consequence of the war, of which our railway system is not the least.
 There is some rehabilitating to be done in this country before we ex- tend any further help to Europe.
 The agricultural interests of this country have suffered several billions of dollars loss in deflation of prices. It is openly charged that the govern ment is directly responsible for this enormous loss through the restric- tion of credit.
 It is charged that the restriction of credits was brought about by a promise made to labor to reduce the cost of living and in order to reduce this cost our most vital industry was almost ruined.
 If these charges or any part of them are true, then the government of the United States owes it to these farme~s and others whom if has ruin ed to 'ay aside every other matter and help them recover from the dis astor which has been forced upon them.
 It is not fair that the price of the products of the farm should be forced down by the government while It the same time it uses all of Is mac hnery to hold up the wages of certain classes of labor.
 If the wages of the railway em- ployes are too high the government is alone resposible for their being too high because a spineless govern ment was too timid to refuse to grant the demands for an increase.
 No. the government of the United States has too many obligations at home to think about extending any more aid to Europe.
 They find the means over there to still carry on war in various places and if they would quit warning and get down to work they would not need any assistance from us, but would be able to pay what they owe.
 If the United States should be- come party to the league of nations they would expect us to carry the whole burden. It begins to look now as though that league was without much merit or it could function to some extent without the assistance of this country.
 Wa and fighting and bloodshed go on in Europe in spite of the league and if we were members we could not stop it unless we sent men and arms over there as we did before. And that, we fear, is the main reason why they are so anxious for the 7 Aited States to enter They would expect us to put up the money and police the world.
 We have gotten out of Europe with clean hands and clean pocketbooks. Let's stay out.
