nesday and Thursday. the big. new
William Fox firm version of Mark
Twain's funniest book. "A Connecticut
Yankee in King Arthur's Court"
AS readers of Mark Twain will real
ize. this book offers wonderful scope
to a motion picture director. aud it is
surprising that no producer until now
has undertaken to put it on the screen.
The Fox production is on a huge
scale. bringing out the full force of all
the situations invented by Mark
Twains fertile imagination, and
translating for the eye all the splen-
dor OF medieval court life that Twain
had described in words. Ii aroused
the greatest enthusiasm at a pre-
release run in Los Angeles.
"A Connecticut Yankee" is more
than funny; it conveys an argument
of striking force II sets out to prove
the thesis that we are as good as our
Observation-Disclosures. 1t is the
fashion nowadays to talk of the good
old times; Mark Twain shows us just
what the good old times" really were
like. "A Connecticut Yankee" is an
imaginative masterpiece 1t puts a
modern shrewd, up-to-date young
American against a background of
medieval chivalry, and the humor is
the result OF the sharp contrast.

MAKE SURE EGGS ARE FRESH
Method Generally Employed by Com
mission Houses for Purpose 10
Known as Gambling"

When supplying a fancy trade with
eggs, or on receiving eggs from outside
sources, It is often desirable to deter
mine their freshness. The method
generally used by commission mer-
chants for this purpose is known as
Gambling" and consists in holding
the egg between the eye and light
so as to note the contents. This
should be done in a darkened room.
using one of the egg testers on the
market or simple homemade tester.
The air space in a perfectly fresh
egg is very small, and as the egg loses
part OF its contents by evaporation
this air space increases in size with
the age of the egg. Fresh eggs should
appear clear and bright, showing no
dark spots Those accustomed to
"candling" soon learn to detect stale
eggs with a good degree of accuracy
and rapidity
Another method employed by some
who have not a great number to test
is to put the eggs in a basin of water.
II good they will lie on their Sides If
bad they will stand on the small ends.
The older the egg the more upright
it stands, and if very old it will be
suspended in the water or even float
on the surface.
