Now Defending Democracy.

By Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
TIRANA, December 20.-1n all the
cities of Albania this week has been
seen the picturesque sight of peasants
born under feudalism gathering to
march away in defense of democracy.
They represent fve classes OF the
reserv army, but this young repub-
lie is as yet unable to provide them
with uniforms. Hence they go in
their farm clothes or In their Sun
day-best embroidered vests or in
whatever they were wearing when
they left the fields. Nearly all or
them wear homemade black sheep
skin capes and black and white feZzes.
but the remainder of the costume Is
composed of what tho farm house
provides: Shirts of cheap cotton or
homespun, trousers which are rem

ian army uniforms. shoes which vary
from fine riding boots to homemade

The McNary- Haugen bill, upon
which many farmers depended for re-
lief from the pressure under which
they nave been laboring for several
years, was defeated at the adjourn
ment of Congress, June ;.

December. Perhaps the bill or A

US this or nothing" was the slogan Of
the farmer bloc who demanded the
enactment Of the bill. They received
nothing. Though there is a probable
ity that the bill of Senator Norris
providing for the creation of a $780,
100000 corporation to buy and sell
form products, will be brought up In
the senate, though the senator himself
declares the passage Of his bill il

A timely topic supervised play

subject. Most people thought II

Of defeat has sounded, it is a ques-

IL cost more per voter to conduct
the election than the tax would have
meant annually to property owners,
yet no one appears to have thought
Of this.
There will probably be another cleo
/ ton and this will again cost the peo-
/ pie an equal amount of money. 1t
would have been better to put the pro-
| Ject over than to continue the EN-
! bafrassment at another election.
1t appears that Henry Ford's Offer

in the senate. There is much opposi-
ton to granting a 80 year lease up
on a government property to man
who is sure to die long before the
period elapses.
Mr.. Ford is an astonishingly sue
cessful man and under his supervis-
ion Muscle Shoales would be an asset
to a country who seems not to appre-
ciate its value; yet another genera
ton may do something worthwhile
with the tract if it is not tied up under
long term contract.

Desperate indeed must be the feel
ings of a man who will kill himself
because his wife hobbs her locks.
There must be some other reason az
we'll. The man with an unprouneable
name resided in East Chicago. He
came from southern Europe where
young women were conservative and
appeared not to know that the age of
freedom for women had come.
Doubtless the mans religious train
ing had something to do with his
desperation. An ancient apostle ad-
vocated that women should wear long
hair and should keep their heads COW
cred, and should not contradict or
argue with their husbands.
If the Scriptures were observed
literally there would be many radical
changes just now, both in personal
appearance as well as in habits of
life.

TWELVE PER CENT OF EGGS
ARE PUT IN COLD STORAGE

| More than five million farms in the
United States produce eggs. These
comprise large majority of the farms
in every state. On most of these farms
egg production is side line and the
surplus available for market is small,
but the total surplus on these farms
is sufficient to supply the needs Of an
urban population of more than $4,000
900 people.
Approximately 10 per cent of the
total annual production Of eggs ID
stored. The season of storage begins
in March, is most active during April
and May, and continues at lessened
rate during June and July, and closes
about August l. Withdrawal of eggs
from storage is slight in August, but
gradually increases in September and
October, is heaviest in November and
December, and continues through Jan
ruay and February until the stocks
are practically exhausted by March 1
or earlier. Apparently 40 to 80 Per
cent of the total annual holdings for
the United States is stored in the five
markets, New York, Chicago, Philadel-
phia, Boston and San Francisco.
The holding of eggs in cold storage
is legitimate and needed market func-
tion which benefits both producers and
consumers. Without cold storage eggs
would hardly be worth enough in many
localities in the spring to pay to gather
them and in the fall the supply would
be far from sufficient to meet the de-
mand, and the price SO high as to be
prohibitive. Through the storage OF
eggs there is demand in the spring
for the surplus, resulting in attractive
prices to the producers and in the fall
and winter large supply Of whole
some storage eggs is made available at
prices within the reach of consumers
