Gather Eoqs of Sea Fowl

The sea fowl known as the murre
arrives off the west coast Of Wash
ington early in the spring, finds
slit in the rockcliffs or convenient
ledge where, with no nesting mater
ial, the eggs are laid. Egg gathelers
mostly Indians. climb the cliffs daily,
taking out one fresh egg from each
nest. The climbers maintain their
positions on the almost perpendicular
rocks by chipping out hand and foot
holds from the cliffs. These are used
year after year. a bag hung from
the neck and extending down the
back contains the egg harvest
The egg of this sea fowl, the
Detroit News states, has excellent
nourishing qualities for invalids. and
contains an abnormal amount of
white albumcn. Though the murrc
subsists on fish, the flavor of the egg
IS not dissimilar to that of the do
mcstic hen. A curious feature in
cooking is that the albumcn does not
become sOldificd and of an Opaque
Wilderness. as docs that of the chicken
egg. but retains its jellylike character
and is light blue in color. In size the
eggs are approximately that Of the
goose.

Salvation Army Gains
Half of $4,000 Quota

The home service fund of the Saliva
tion Army has reached with cash and
pledges s2739.7S, with several subscrip-
ton lists to come in today it should
bring the total up to within $4,000 or
$4,000 short of the quota.
Saturday was the big day of the APP
peal with about $500, coming into
headquarters. Captain Loring from
Augusta Corps had the record, selling
over $50 worth Of tags. One of the
amusing experiences of the day was
when several young ladies were sOli-
cited and asked the price Of the tags
Captain Loring replied anywhere from
one cent to $1,000 and the young ladies
all bought a tag and then bought sew
eral to take home at one cent each.
Lieut. Francis from Divisional head
quarters and Envoy Ivers will remain
in the city today and tomorrow to
gather in the remaining pledges and
back calls that were not completed on
Saturday. If you have not yet con-
tributed or feel that you can give
again to help boost up the fund phone
454-M and a worker will call or mail
your check to j. Merle Bridges, treas
urer.
Campaign director f. A. Hanson
says, an behalf of the Salvation Army
I wish to extend our deep appreciation
to all who have given us such Won
dcrful cooperation during the appeal
especially to the newspapers who
have given us unlimited space, to
which publicity can be traced large
number of the contributions, to the
theatres for their assistance and to all
who in many ways helped to bring in
the funds. I do hope that Monday and
Tuesday will bring in many additional
contributions so that some of the $1,000
deficit may be cut down, for the Army
will need all of the $1,000 to carry on
the needed work in Watorville. OAK
land and Fairfield. and it will be q
shame to lack funds which give relief
to those who appeal to the Army in
their hour of need. Let us remember
that he who measures out lifc's httle
span in love to God or love to man. on
earth hath tasted Heaven. Therefore
give and give literally to help some
poor fellow who needs help

Hot Under Collar

schoQner's crew would not race again
II the Ford was denied victory. The
fo'castle OF the Ford was the scene
OF many assertions to this effect by
the 80 Gloucester men who sail her
As an offsetting fact to the ruling
that took victory from the Henry
Ford after it was thought she was
crippled beyond hope Of success by
sail reduction to meet official speci-
hcations, was the fact learned today
that she sailed yesterday with can
vas still 135 square feet more than
the official Interpretation Of her sail
plan would allow her. She went out
TO the start yesterday, it was learned
with the statement from II. r. Sill
yer. chairman of the trustees Of the
Halifax Herald cup. that carries with
il the championship, that she was
subject to confirmation of the
measurements. The excess, it was
explained today, was due to misun-
Outstanding of the application of Ger
tain rules on that part Of the official
measurer.
Gloucester learned today for the first
time of several things that had hap
pcncd yesterday. The Ford's sailing
with too much canvas was one. The
fact that Secretary of the Navy DENLY,
who had sailed with the Gloucester
man all day. held the wheel of the rae
ing schooner over the last part Of the
race. was another. The development
that Captain Angus Walters Of the
Rlucnose did what Captain Clayton
Morrisscy is now doing. refused to
sail. was third. With Walters, 1t
was a matter Of having his say in the
naming Of the observer to represent
Canada on the decks of the Henry
Ford. He wanted a man Of his own
choice to represent him, he said, and
would not race unless he did. In the
end. Walters had his way. and Cap
tain Akiah Conrad, of Nuremberg, n.
s.. replaced Captain Hugh Knickel of
Lunenburg for yesterdays race.
There was some discussion over the
unexpected sailing qualities OF the
Henry Ford as compared with the
Bluenose. but to the American boast
OF the beating administered all the
way on a 40-mile course, Canadian ad-
hercnts pointed to the fact that there
was no real windward work yesterday
and that the Bluenose was still their
even money favorite against the Henry
Ford for race with normal conditions
OF wind.

First Method Of Advertising

In the Old Testament times. when
the countries bordering on the Nile.
tho F.uphrates and Tigris rivers were
the center OF trade. the Carthagin:ans
used to sail along the Mediterranean
with boatload of their manufactures
which they would unload on the coast
Of Lydia. and having lighted bon
fire near tho goods. returned to their
ships. The inhabitants. knowing by
the onhre that the Carthaginians
had something 10 sell, would come
out OF their city to inspect it. Then
they would pile up gold near the
merchandise and retire into the city.
The Carthaginians would land again,
examine tho gold and If in their judg-
ment IL was equal in value to the
goods they left they would take it
and sail away.
This bonfire custom is the first
method of advertising of which his
tory tells.

time transactions.
In the strike emergency, the At
torney General said, the Federal gov
eminent used the injunction as the
least drastic means at hand for res
cuing the country from "the grip of
civil war" He ascribed some of the
blame to "the radicalism and char
acter" Of prominent labor leaders,
and some Of it to hard boiled" rail-
way executives and asserted that any
attorney general who would not act
under such circumstances Should be
impeached."
Declaring the real purpose Of at
tacks on the departments record in
war frauds investigation was to
force the hand of the government
and prematurely disclose important
evidence, Mr.. Daugherty said such
assaults had been inspired, not by
the departments inactivity, but be-
cause tender spots had been touched
by the suits already under way.
I'VE would have heard little criti-
cism of the Department of Justice"
he said, had it not been discovered
that case like the Chemical Foun-
dation, for instance Tin which val
liable patents We're assigned by pub
lie officials to companies which they
themselves had organized), was UNI
der investigation and the part ylayed
by those involved also was being
scrutinized by government agents"
The attorney general recounted the
difficulties encountered in war fraud
prosecutions in the face of scattered
evidence of which he said the pre-
vious administration did not avail it
self when the time was opportune.
He said his own administration had
gone to work as soon as it was in
stalled.
Summing up the record Of the de
nartment under his administration,
the attorney general said more than
400 cases are undergoing liquidation,
that $50 dealings with wartime
frauds are in the hands of United
States attorneys throughout the
country, and that 13 fraud indict-
ments already have been returned. In
the past year, he said, the depart
ment has begun 1916 civil and $4,000
criminal prosecutions, while adjudi-
cations and penalties collected since
he came into office total nearly 49,
100000.

No Mirrors in Barber Shops

Speaking of the play of Hamlet
without the Dane, what do you think
of the mirrOrless barber shop? Sure
ly as an egrcgious thing, revolution
AIRY and rather alarming. almost a
contradiction in terms. Yet it has
arrived. 1t flourishes. 1t proves it
self an answer to a need of the hour.
But not for men. No, no, The
barber shop without mirrors is for
the bObbing OF womcn's hair, remarks
the New York Sun. 1T seems that
women are too emotional to watch
the amputation of "wOman's crown
ing glory" without raising fuss in
terfering with the work of the hair
surgeon. They twitter and Gdgct,
and get excited and give directions,
and make the operator so nervous
that he is sometimes prevented from
turning out what lie considers a neat
Job.
The idea Of a mirrOrlcss surgery for
the mutilation of female heads seems
to have originated up Boston way.
When the bobbing craze first struck
New York barber shops were fitted
up for women with a special eye to
abundant and brilliant illumination
of mirrors. Indeed, the mirror, wO-
mans firmCst friend, was banked up
on as the supreme attraction in the
new style of shcaring parlor. But
it was found the reflection of the
victim after her trcsSeS received their
first slash was so unnerving to her,
and stimulated her to so many criti
cisms, warnings and minute instruc-
tons that it was soon seen that the
mirrors would have to so. And now
milady must learn to take her shear
ing like a sheep.

New Works Taste Constantly
Chanued

Every contingent helps to feed
New York. First sending us staples
of all sorts they followed with bev-
erages, coffee and tea and lemonade.
Then they began to teach us to eat
more vegetables, more nuts, more
salads.
Nuts and salads were largely a
Mediterranean contribution. Nuts
were the interest of the Near East,
salads and vegetables of Italy
France and Spain.
Having changed our tastes to this
extent, the dealers and growers have
begun on fruits. It's an odd season
that some one is not working at the
now, luscious taste.
The first year n new fruit is offered,
the grower generally stands treat for
the town. If the shipments come out
even or without great loss the lot
has done as well as was expected.
Sometimes New York can be taught
to eat a new thing in single season.
This was the case with California
grown persimmons, which did not,
however, sell we'll until their names
were changed. AS Japanese dates
they became great favorites.
Just now quantity shipments of ripe
black figs and mellow yellow man
goes are being tried out on the curbs.
OF the two the taste Of the mango is
least commonly known. a fruit that
looks like a big winter apple, it has
mixture of tastes in its soft flesh
that is like a ripe peach, pineapple,
a melon and a pear It's a taste Of
the new world tropics.-New York
