Want All Eggs Stamped
 With Country of Origin

LONDON, April 6.-.Eyery egg sold in England will Joe stamped with the country of origin, if the plans of va rlous house ewivcs' organizations to put such bill through Parliament are successful.
 Much interest has been aroused in London recently by the declaration of the National Poultry Council that only about 10 per cent cf the eggs sold as new laid eggs come from the provinces of England. It has been shown that hugo quantities of eggs are shipped into England every year from Holland, China and Egypt. are mixed with other eggs, and sold as native eggs. Because the foreign eggs arc of better color and larger than English eggs, it is said the re- tailers are able to sell them more readily than English eggs.

POlA NEGRI IS AT COLISEUM SUNDAY

Admittedly one of the biggest emo- tsonal photoplays seen here in many months is "The Red Peacock" new Paramount picture starring Pola Negri, the famous European screen star, which comes. to the Coliseum Theater next Sunday. Miss Negri is said to be the Sarah Bernhardt of the screen, and that she is versatile Is amply proved by her superb work in such picture successes as Pas sion" "Gypsy Blood" and "The Last Payment" the latter Paramount picture. scoring heavily.
 In the story, Pola Negri is seen as Violettc. a flower girl, who is driven from her squalid home by drunken stepfather and forced to make her own way through life. She meets a young playwright in dramatic circum- stances, and the story of their love Is finely told in a series of remark able scenes that hold ones attention to the final fade out. Pola Negri, a dramatic actress of great force and brilliance, meets the requirements Of her arduous role with exquisite ar. tistry.
 The scenes of the picture are laid in Europe. The director was Paul Stein and the supporting company is one of the best thus far seen in any Pola Ncgri photoplay.
