A large part Of the loss caused by
eggs spelling. in warm weather can
be prevented by producing only infer
tile eggs during the late spring and
summer. This loss, which is conser-
vatively estimated at more than $751;
100000 a year, falls almost entirely
on the producer. Not only does he
lose the value of the eggs which
spoil, but the producer suffers a fur
Their material loss in the redution OF
the number of eggs consumed caused
by people getting bad eggs among
those they purchase.
This loss can be entirely prevented
by producing only infertile eggs dur
ing warm weather. This is Faccom-
plished by taking all male birds out
of the flock after the breeding season
is over. The rooster has no influence
on the number of eggs produced, and
should either be marketed or killed
the meat can be canned or he should
be kept penned up.
The United States Department OF
Agriculture has just published large
poster showing the difference in the
keeping qualities of infertile and fer
tile eggs during warm weather. This
poster also gives simple rules for pro-
ducing good quality eggs on farms
during the latter part of the spring,
throughout the summer, and into the
early fall months. .

NAME OF new GAS
EASY TO REMEMBER
Much Discussion Marked Choosing
Of Suitable Name For General
Motors Company Product

Every time a new baby is born, the
fond parents have list of family
names to choose from in selecting one
for the future president" So, also,
when new chemical discovery is
made the happy inventor has list Of
names of basic elements or like COM
pounds to pick assuitabe name for his
product. Usually the name contains
more letters than the alphabet, has
several hyphens and is destitute of
meaning to most of us.
But when the General Motors
Chemical Company perfected Ethyl
fluid preparation designed to make
gasoline give better engine perform
ance, the chemists were not given a
free hand in choosing its name. Ro-
nance, business and chemistry each
had say and each were represented
in the selecting of Ethyl.
A title too long for reproduction
here was first chosen by the chemists.
Business said no. 1t would require a
full newspaper page display adver-
tisement to contain the name and a
definition of what it was all about.
The new fluid had to be merchandise
ed, so give it a name that would re-
suit in brain fever and lock jaw to
those who tried to memorize and re-
peat it, said Business.
A lengthy discussion followed. 1t
developed that one of the ingredients
of the fluid was Ethyl, an alcohol
ether derivitive. That took care OF
the nhemists. Furthermore it is pro-
nounced the same as Ethel, which
name held high place in the heart OF
one of the officials and thereby wor
another vote. 1t was short, and that
pleased Business, so the christening
was duly held.
Ethyl gas is being distributed in
this district by the Standard Oil Co.
of New Jersey and is known as
STANDARD" Ethyl gas. It's addition
to regular gasoline eliminates the
fuel knock heard when an engine is
under a heavy load and which is caus.
ed by the defamation of the gasoline
This so-called knock being merely ar
audible indication of the inefficient
use of fuel. The Ethyl fluid causes
the gasoline to burn more slowly
thus giving greater and more even
power. 1t also adds pep to the en-
CINE, tests have shown.

these elements must be added to the
soil.
Where clover failure is experienced
or crops are unsatisfactory, the first
step, say department clover special
lists, should be to look after the drain
age. If the land is not well drained
and as a consequence the clover
heaves badly in the spring, the drain
age must be improved or all other
efforts will be wasted. If conditions
are such that the drainage can not be
improved, alsike clover should be SUBJ
stituted for red clover. There is no
use trying to grow red clover on bad
ly drained land.
Where crop failure happens on
land that is well drained it is advis-
able to consult with the county agent
or with the State extension service.
In many cases the agent will know
wi ether the soils in that section
need lime or some fertilizer, and the
remedy can be applied at once. Where
no certain information is available a
simple trial will soon tell the story of
what clover needs to thrive on that
particlar farm. If it is organic mat
ter that the soil needs, sweet clover
may often be substituted to advan-
tage providing the soil is well sup
piled with lime, and the soil will be
restored to a condition where red clo-
yer will grow. Unfortunately, most
of the clover failures occur on soils
deficient in lime, and on these the re-
suits with sweet clover will be equally
unsatisfactory. Soy beans or cow
peas may be grown for hay nr SSH
improvement, but it must be noted
that if these crops are removed as
hay there is no benefit to the soil.
Hogg:ng down the crop is good
practice.

A device to determine whether
liquid has been substituted excessive
ly for solid food in cans has been de-
vised by an employee Of the Bureau
of Chemistry, United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. The instrument
is a perforated, circular brass plate
three inches in diameter, to the GEN.
ter Of which is screwed perpendicular
ly a brass rod one-quarter of an inch
square. On one side of the rod is a
scale graduated in inches and six
,teenths of an inch. When a can has
been opened for sampling by the in
spector, the measuring instrument is
pressed down lightly on the solid con-
tents, the liquid portion rising thru
the perforations. A straight edge is
then placed across the top of the can
and the reading made where it comes
in contact with the brass rod. If this
instrument proves as satisfactory as
officials expect it will aid materially
in detecting the practice of selling
brine, syrup, or water i'm place Of
solid food products.

has been announced by local club OF

Of mothers, wives and daughters in

Those old pioneers who saw the
need for the organization of strong
union of miners, were of the kind
that are much in need at the present
time. They were of a class conscious
element that shaved, struggled and
fought together, and, as time went on,

GARY SCHOOLS
FACTORIES FOR
DOCILE SLAVES
Platoon System Makes
Steel Mill Robots
BY KARL REEVE.
(Staff Writer, Daily Worker)

GARY, Ind, Sept. 2o.-The
Gary or platoon school system,
which is the pride of the head
of the United States Steel Cor
poration, Ebert H. Gary, adj
mittedIy negIects the minds of
the children while it aims to
produce steel mill slaves, who
will not bother to inquire into
fundamental principles involved
in the industrial system.
The platoon school system
has been tried out in Gary, un-
der the patronage Of the United
States Steel Corporation, which
founded the town and controls
its policies-and has been found
a failure.
Gary System Is Ineffective.
Even an investigation conducted by
the board of education of Gary itself,
has admittedly found the Gary sys-
tenn ineffective. The platoon system
which has recently been the subject
of the condemnation Of the Illinois
and Chicago Federations of Labor,
teaches the children to become mere
machines, able to perform such me-
chanical work as is required in the
steel mills, but learning nothing about
basic principles involved in their
work and study.
For a long while in the report on
the Gary schools, conducted by the
general educational board, at the re-
quest of the board of education and
the city school superintendent of
Gary. the subject that is being con-
stantly borne in mind by those who
know their Gary, is lodged. But the
heat and smoke of the steel mills can
not be escaped in report dealing
with Gary's peculiar educational in
situations. After many chapters of
lodging, the thing that has been sup.
