EGGS MUST MATCH IN COLOR
Best City Restaurants viii Pay Good
Prices for Those Which Conform
to Requirements.

Eggs In the winter time are likely
to have pale yolks. A popular impress
sion prevails that they indicate poor
feeding of the hens. This Is denied by
the government bureau Of animal hus-
bandry, which declares that lack Of
green feed is the cause.
Most people think that eggs with
pale yolks have less flavor than eggs
with richly colored yolks. This Is prob
ably true; but the housewives notion
that they impart less richness to
cakes and custards is contradicted by
the experts-though, of course, they
do contribute less color.
Egg whites are often slightly yellow
ish or greenish. But high-class restau-
rants and hotels demand eggs whose
albumen shall be when cooked as pure
white as possible. Furthermore, 1t
is particularly important that two or
more eggs served with an order shall
command an extra-hgh price, 1t is
good business for the poultry raiser
who caters 70 the fancy market to
meet these requirements.
Boiled eggs should match in color OF
shell. No first-class restaurant or
fashionable club would think of serv-
ing brown egg and white one to-
gether. Even In shade they should
match. In New York only pure white
eggs fetch the highest price. In Bos-
ton IN the other hand brown eggs
bring FIVE cents more per dozen than
white ones.
Many people are firmly convinced
that brown eggs have richer flavor
than white ones. and nobody can per-
suade them that they are mistaken ;
but the experts say that the notion has
no basis whatever In fact. In Mas
sachusetts chickens have been bred to
lay brown eggs-and the darker they
are In color the more acceptable they
are I'm the market

The Lure of Some Place Else

them a run some years ago and be- fore that, Herman Melville set men to hankering after breadfruit and tropical warmth and beautiful copper colored damsels.
 Places That Aren't
 Of course, what the writers de- scribe. and what the readers hank after and often go in search of. is not the South Sea Isiands as they really are. but a purely imaginary realm which will give play to all of the longings which they cannot satisfy at home. These periodic crazes about strange faraway Arcadies are simply evidence of the fact that most men are only half satisfied by the reality and so live largely in their dreams. This craving for some place else is chiefly interesting as revealing the unsatisfied longings of men. The South Sea Islands are by no means the only popular never-never land The Orient is another one which has spell of popularity every few years. It, too. is having one just now. A series of spectacular plays. purporting to describe life in the Orient, have had great success. Several books of the same character have been best sellers, ana the movies as usual nave followed suit
 It is interesting to note that this aginary Orient has almost exactly ! the sarSe essential features as tEe imaginary South Sea Island. In this l Orient of the screen and the stage it is once more always summer, once more people are shown leading easy unrestrained lives, and once more | the unclad damsel of emancipated INorals is the leading feature of the | scene.
 | These colorful portrayals of an easy idle life, full of excitement and desire. devoid of hard work and l clothes, sraw enormous crowds of | typical Americans, who work hard
 every day in the week and often go | to church on Sunday. who lead lives ! of routine and restraint, in the most
 lawridden land on earth, and who
 are easily scandaliZed by any sug-
 gestion of immortality in the lives of
 their neighbt IFS.
 Things Men Crave

 liking for these pictures and books
 and plays, which describe life as a
 thing of freedom, adventure and
Arizona republican., 1921-12-22
Rx Frederic J. Haskin


 , WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 21. = The South Sea Islands and the Orient are just now enjoying tremendous popularity among persons who have never been there.
 The South Sea Island craze was started by a book which described in the most luscious language that para disc of eternal summer, of easy hv- ing. of few clothes. and no restraints, and of beautiful native maidens who fell in love with white men on sight, and knew little or nothing about mar riage.
 The material for this book, it is said. was supplied by a man who had spent some years in the islands, but the luscious writing was done by clever woman who had never been to the islands at all. The book was quickly followed by other books by the same author and by others. Boats bound for the South Seas began to be packed with tourists.
 Then came the inevitable reaction. The wanderers found that the South Sea Islands were just about like Flor ida, California, or any other winter resort country. They found that in stead of lying around and picking up NuNntNtt they SOl llbilSA V . they had to pay SIP a day at the ho- tels. Instead of capering naked on coral strands, they had to dress for dinner. There weren't nearly enough beautiful native maidens to go around. As for the climate, it was nice for a while, but no tropical climate agrees with white man for very long at a stretch.
 In d word the tourist found that the hard realities of human life dogged him even to the South Sea Islands, and that the books had reen mostly fairy tales. So many were the disappointed tourists that litera- ture poking fun at the South Sea Islands has sprung into being. Many magazine articles have been written to that tune, and now a book is out which is a parody of all other books that told about the irresponsible de- lights of the South Seas.
 This comedy has been played over again. The South Seas have leaped into sudden popularity time after time. and then have been forgotten again. Robert Louis Stevenson gave
