CITY HOUSEWIVES STORING
EGGS IN WATERGLAss

According to the marketing bureau of the state board of agriculture, city housewives are storing more eggs in wa terglass than last year. Several Of the poultryInen in Connecticut state that they are supplying twice the usual quan- tity for this purpose.
 A few years ago the consumer geneT- ally counted on winters supply of canned fruits, a few vegetables and the usual quantity of winter apples and po- tatoes. Evidently the housewife has add ed eggs to her list of products held in re- serve and has concluded that this is the proper time to get the eggs supply safe ly under cover before hens go on a strike, begin to set and egg prices go up.
 Conditions favor the consumer. this year. Egg prices are lower than last year but the supply coming marketward starts to show signs of dropping. April eggs are usually considered the best for storing by cold storage lFOuses and dur ing this month 6 large part of the worth while western eggs are put away for win ter sale. When the April commercial storage season arrives there is usually less fresh western eggs available and fresh native eggs can be disposed of at higher prices. Statements have been made by some of the egg wholesalers that one of our cities used a million eggs per week during the Lenten season. The number of hens is rated about equal to the number of people in the state so the consumer who wishes to store eggs in waterglass at the lowest possible prices should act quickly before prices advance.
 Storing eggs in waterglass (sodium silicate) is not a difficult task and does not require any Iaborious process other than making a solution of waterglass with clean water added according to di-

 It was announced that all scouts who were at Camp Tippecan last summer scout masters and officials are to attend the camp reunion at scout headquarters Saturday evening at o'clock. Refresh ments will be served.
 The following additions have been made to the Norwich troops during the last two months: Troop No. 1, five scouts Troop No 2, four scouts; Troop No. 3, four scouts Troop No. 8, (Greeneville) 12 scouts: sea scout troop s-1, four scouts Troop No./6, Troop No. F and Troop No 1 , have number of new can didates. The promotion of scouts in all the troops and the application at head quarters for merit badge blanks shows progress in the right direction.
 The special prizes of compasses and axe won at the recent pet show, will be awarded at the next court of honor in June.

rections, providing suitable container and placing the required number of eggs in the liquid. Water glass simply seals the egg shell from the air and keeps out disease germs which cause eggs to spoil. It does not affect the food value
 Eggs stored properly in waterglass in variaibly will be found satisfactory for table cooking in January Having a supply available which are known to sidered well worth the time spent in looking up a supply of good eggs at this season.
 Not all eggs sold as fresh eggs are worthy of storing in. waterglass. The consumer should cast an eye of suspic- ion on eggs offered at prices below those quoted for the very best hennery and Connecticut newlaid fancy eggs. There are several poultrymen throughout the state who are grading their eggs especial ly for people who wish to store In water glass. This class of eggs usually com mand slight premium over fresh eggs suitable for immediate use. Several poultrymen make a specially of supplying infertile eggs. which are considered the best for storing. and discard all small and soiled eggs.
 People who have their own flocs1s of hens may store eggs from day to day in the same jar if sufficient solution is per mitted to cover the eggs. The secret of success in storing eggs in this manner Is to select only the perfectly clean eggs and store them immediately. Do not wait two or three days-after getting the egg supply before putting them down in the watergiass solution. Anyone who wishes to store eggs should do so before the first @of- May

Since there were 156,4G7 operators registered last year. it is therefore likely that the number of Connecticut drivers will ex- ceed TO coo this year. At the new rate of S3 for each licensed operator. this will mean an income of over half mil lion dollars from this source alone
 This is the first nine months that the examination Of applicants for drivers H. censes has been entirely in the hands oi the state police.
