er than water, will cause The egg TO
sink. After "A few days, however, the
yolk and the white Of the egg split up
into other substances which. in the
course of time, will form the body Of
the baby chicken. During this change,
they produce gases which tend to
make the inside of the egg lighter
than water and therefore. the shell
becomes a miniature balloon which
rises through the surrounding liquid.
because the egg does not weigh as
much as does an equal bulk Of water.
For this reason. the degree 10 which
an egg tends to rise when placed in
water provides an excellent index as
to it's freshness and fitness for con-
sumption--it being an infailible rule
that only bad" eggs will float.

curls hanging over her ears, that she
sometimes went to visit with her

But though Mary's heart was sad
she sang as she rubbed the discolored
urn that her mother might not know

MORE VIOLENCE IN
 DAIRY WALK OUT
Wagons Attacked and Milk Is Poured Into Cutters By
 Strike Sympathizers
By Associated Press

New York, November 4-More vio- lence marked the fourth day of New York's milk strike, in which the dead
 lock showed no sign of weakening. From various parts of the city came police reports of attacks on wagons by strike sympathizers and the spilling of milk in the gutters. The sharpest of these disorders oc- cured in Brooklyn, where three wagons leaving a milk station were attacked More than score of shots were fired. two policemen were in jured and nearly a score of men |rounded up for questioning. The wagons, each with a police man on the drivers seat, had been sent out to peddle milk through the Bedford section. Alleged strike syns- |pathizers taking refuge behind lum- Der piles, opened fire with bricks. The drivers hid under seats. The policemen with drawn pistols stood on the running boards They warned that they would shoot, if the bar |rage of bricks did not stop.
 Co ahead and shootf the en- |trenched replied.
 Then the shooting began ana the crowd scattered. No one was hit. Soon reserves arrived and the at- lacking party was rushed. Two men, |arrested for rioting. were held with out bail.
 On the lower East Side crowd attacked a wagon carrying milk to Ia small store and hurled nearly a hundred bottles through the shops window. narrowly missing some wom- len and children.
 Distributors reported more strik- ers had been replaced and that de- |liveries were being resumed.
