among these features is the tubu-

A. J. Mccoy Talks.

Over at the SOrensOn garage, now
owned by \. J. Mccoy, MIR. Mccoy is
handling the WHY'S Knight, Overland
and Gardner cars. These makes are all
widely known, especially the WHY'S
Knight and Overland.
BY many auto enthusiasts, the
lWillys-Knight is considered the one
best buy on the auto market today.
The Overland is featured among the
lower priced cars for its triplex springs,
which give it the effect Of a long wheel
base. Both these cars are very pOpu-
lar.
The Gardner is newer car. Mr..
Mccoy tells of this remarkable car as
follows:
Contrary to the usual procedure in
the production of low priced cars,
Gardner engineers have not endeavOr-
ed to see how cheaply they can build
this car, but how well they can build
| it. Dependence for Il low price falls
upon the development OF production
methods in splendid modern factory.
Overhead operating costs are reduced
to minimum to permit OF low sell
ing price, without lowering the quail
lily of one single unit or piece OF ma
terial This has been accomplished
without sacrificing an ideal originally

WHITE OR BROWN
EGGS PREFERRED
People in Different Cities Have
Decided Preferences for One
or the Other
NO INDICATION OF QUALITY
Color Of Shell Is Almost Entirely De-
pendent on Breed of Fowl That
Laid It-New Breed Has
Been Developed.

Prepared by the Urited States Department
of Agriculture.)
Although the color OF an egg shell
is no indication of the chemical com
position of its content. people In diff
ferent cities and in different parts of
the country have rather decided pref
erences for either white or brown
eggs The wise producer considers
the likes and dislikes Of his prospective
customers, even though they may be
based on a mistaken notion. A brown
egg Is just as nutritious as a white
egg and a white one is just as full of
meat as a brown one, says the United
States Department of Agriculture. If
a persons color idiosyncrasy is salts
fed, however. he may get a little more
good out Of the egg he eats.
Color Depends on Breed.
The color of an egg is largely, or al
most entirA'y, dependent upoL the
breed of the bird that laid it. In gen
eral the American hreeds-Plymouth
Rocks, Rhode Island Reds and Wyan-
dottes-lay brown eggs. AS all these
breeds 10 W red ear lobes, Ii may be
said that red lohes mean brown eggs.
The brown egg is popular in New Eng
land and brings a premium on the
Boston and Providence markets. Al
though the content of this egg is the
same as that of a white one, there is
a difference in the covering. The
shells of brown eggs are harder and
the skin just underneath the shell Is
tougher. In Matching, the chicks have
a little harder work getting out than
those that happened to develop In
shells of lighter hue.
In New York the white egg brings
a premium of z to 10 cents a dozen at
some seasons, but it Is probable that
the New Yorker gets no more nour-
lshment nor enjoyment out of his,
breakfast than the B~ostonian, who
pays a similar premium for brown
eggs. Owners of poultry farms are

AS a consequence The idea of a

large cities this spring shows of this
Lind will be held and no doubt all
records for attendance will be broken.
People are interested In BODYBUILDING
Ideas, and judging by tse latest re-
ports from various building commits

building their ewn homes this spring.
The number of permits has jumped
past records are left far behind.
These people are looking for ideas

TO realize fully that home ownership
Is the short and direct cut to happi-
ness. They want ideas. And we hope
to help them.
For those who are limited In means,
who want the best their money a

moment and consider the delightful
small home shown here with floor
plan.
A glance at the picture shows a
very attractive coy design, built OF
frame with brick steps and front
porch. There Is a quaint air about
the dwelling that sends out a strong
appeal and its inherent coziness is a
quality I'm its favor. The design does
not call for any special construction

White Eggs Preferred.

In Philadelphia the preference IL
largely for white eggs and this mar
Ike. draws largely from the same ter
ritory as New York for its highest
grade eggs. Chicago gets farm eggs
from all parts of the Middle West that
are sorted and graded by those who
pack them. There is no pronounced
preference In that city. The Pacific
coast prefers white eggs, and all of the
large poultry plants. for which Cali
fornia is famous. keep Leghorns.
The Asiatic fowls, meat breeds that
are kept only in small numbers, have
red lobes and lay good-sized, brown
eggs. The red-lobe-brown-egg and the
white-lobe-white-egg rule held good In
all cases until the Department Of Ag-
r%iculture developed a new breed. This
new breed, the Lamona, Is large
enough to satisfy the farmer, the
backyard poultryman and the packer,
