Eggs by Weight

1t seemed merely funny, years
ago, when a miser in a play by
Goldoni appeared in a grocery
store with an iron ring and an
ounced that he would buy no eggs
that were so small as to go thru
that ring. The very idea of MAX
ing fuss about the size of eggs
But nearly everybody is doing it
now.
Big eggs nowadays when sort
ed out, command the best price.
The little ones have to be mighty
good in flavor and freshness to
hold their own. And the very
ancient custom of counting eggs
by the dozen is in danger of pass
ing out, in favor of weighing
them.
Why notq The value OF an egg,
other things being equal, depends

It Makes All Things New

While it seems impossible to say
anything new on the subject of
Christmas celebration, the miracle
OF the season is that the custom
OF nearly 1000 years makes prac-
tlcally all things new. The aged
become young again through
their rejoicing in the delights Of
the grandchildren with the things
that once made their own eyes
open wide in wonder-memories
OF their own childhood also come
back to them.
1t is not simply a jest that pa
pa also likes to play-even tho
ne may say it is just to test them
with the toys he buys for the
youngsters. Thus, while the holi-
day is particularlyla festival for
the children, emphasizing the
story of the Babe in the Manager,
it also has for the elders its pleas
Iures and the wider significance
iof that world-inspiring event in
Bethlehem.

Useful Pioneer Gone

The state of Washington suffer
ed a distinct loss through the sud.
den death of Judge Thomas Burke
OF Seattle, stricken while he was
making a speech at the meeting Of
the Carnegie Endowment for In
ternational Peace, in New York.
1t might be said Of Judge Burke
that he fought for his conception
of duty to the very last and that
he virtually died in the harness.
A pioneer of Washington, prom
inent in law and business he was
active in things bigger and broad
er, throughout the world. As a
worker for Belgian relief before
America entered the war, and for
the years that followed the devas-
tation of the little kingdom, he
earned the plaudits of those who
noted what he was doing, and the
highest decoration the king Of
Belgium could bestow was given
to him by a grateful country.
Judge Burke was a director of
the Chamber of Commerce Of the
United States and was active in

Too Much Speed

Although many people appear
to be OF the contrary opinion, ii
is quite generally agreed that
you can't make human being,
good by statute. ;" Is it not time
to conclude that neither can the
people be made careful by law and
to attempt to reduce the perils of
street traffic by means different
from those that have been relied
upon in the past? Just what will
prove effective will have to be de
cided after thorough study of con
ditions that have grown up. Ii
seems obvious, though, that mea-
sures of prevention rather than
punishment will yield the greater
benefits.
We are now in the season when
the streets are quite commonly wet
land very slippery. Common sense
tells US that an automobile cannot
be safely driven as swiftly on wet
as on dry streetst. Yet too many
drivers are deaf to the voice of
common sense. This type changes
It's habits not at all when condi-
lions favor skidding. If it avoids
collisions this can be accounted
for only on the ground that there
is such a thing as wluck.''
OF course, it is impossible to
legtslate sound sense into the mind
OF that type commonly called
sap. If we are to have the
possible maximum of safety in the
streets the "sap" must be legis-
lated out of the drivers seat. This
perhaps falls into the category Of
things more easily said than
done" The sap" must be proved
before he can be deprived Of his
citizens right. The real question
is, what proof shall be required p
AS the laws usually are admins
tered there is no interference with
habitual menaces to life and pro
perty until they have had an Esac-
cdent". Little is done to prevent
accidents. Hundreds of "saps"
could be identified when the
streets are wet by the sliding of
their cars at points where they
should be under perfect control.
Too much speed on wet pavementsI
is as dangerous as driving while
intoxicated. Something can be
done about it.

Valley City, \. d., Oct. 6.-LF)
RECOMMENDATION that the North Da-

join the Womcn's Legislative Coun-
ell, which was organized at Il meet
ing in Bismarck recently, was made
to the annual convention OF the or
ganization today by Mrs. c. l.. Young

The failure Of the child labor
amendment to receive the approval
of the legislature and other matters
of interest also were presented in

Mrs. YCung's Report
1T was at one time thought that
lcgi> !atiOu was a cure for all ills;
we know now that this is not true,
always. We do know, however, that
every group Of society, large or
small, must be governed by certain
rules and it should be our business
10 secure the hest plan Of govern
mcnt by means Of these rules that
circumstances permit. As we pro
grcSs in the scale Of civilization
new circumstances arise making ne.
since suffrage, it is our business to
become acquainted with the situation
and to use our influence in the cause
Of humanity. This, it seems to me
justifics the existence Of this de-
partmcnt. 1t is our desire to present
through the district chairma to the
clubs for their thoughtful considcra
ton. the Legislative measures under
discussion in Congress.

material came from General Fedora

representatives in the Legislature:
this letter endorsed the measure and
was TO be signed by the president and
secretary Of the club. Many clubs
did this others felt they could not.
The measure failed Of pas sage as you
know but at least publicity was suf-
ficicnt to create a desire for knowl-
edge in this particular instance. In
February a number of presidents of
state organizati ons held a meeting in
Bismarck to consider the Organiza-
ton Of n Legislative Council. II
was decided to call all presidents OF
womcn's organizations in the state
together and this was done the last
week in February. Many cane or
sent repre- sentative: temporary
organization was the result; Mrs.
Elizabeth Preston Anderson was
chosen temporary cha .rman, and Miss
Henrietta Lund temporary secretary.
A permanent organization has Just
been perfected with Mrs. Elizabeth
Preston Anderson as chairman, and
Mrs. +. A. Thorberg as secretary.
Clubs Name Members
During the year each club in the
state has named one of its members
who shal be responsible for all com
municationS regarding Legislative
members. A list has been compiled
Of these club women and sent in to
state officers. 1t is hoped that much
literature may be available during
the coming year and that this depart
mcnt may be in close touch with all
clubs.

tion to two measures, Child Welfare

measures we're heartily recommend

sion and we would recommend them

It is hoped that they may receive the
attention Of the Legislature in the
future.
