DR. HOEFLE TAKEN
 ON FRAUD CHARGE
German Politician Involved in Funds Scandal
By The Associated Press

tby IUs Abbutidttt N
 pr. Anton Hoefie. former minister of posts and the clerical party's member in the arx-stresemann cabinet was arrested today after a cross examination by the public prosecutor,
 The arrest was said to be due to incriminatlng statements made against him by officials of the Bar mat brothers. to whom state funds are alleged to havebeen loaned, and also the suspicion that he was at- tempting to conceal discriminating documents.
 The Berlin branch of the social democratic party has passed reso- lutions demanding the exclusion from the party of eS-Chancellor Gustav Bauer, owing to the charges connecting him with the Barmat af- fair. The former chancellor last week resigned his seat as socialist member of the Reichstag on his party's demand.
 
 A Berlin dispatch last Saturday estimated the German governments losses through the advancement of funds on questionable securities by the ministry of posts, which pr. Hoefe heatled, at nearly 6o,o0o,ooO gold marks.
 It was a practice dating from pre- war times to make loans of the governments idle funds. these being negotiated through the Reichsbank and the government being fully pro tected. The dispatch added that it was strongly doubted whether the amounts advanced to the Barmay brothers and other financial opera tors would be recovered, either wholly or in part.

Frozen Storage Eggs.

Eggs kept in cold storage in a
frozen condition for nearly nine
years have been found by the Bureau
of Chemistry, United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, to retain practi-
cally their original vitamin-A poten-
cy. From the results of this eX
permental work it seems that freez-
ing eggs and keeping them for long
periods in cold storage cause but
little, if any, deterioration with
respect to this vitamin.
The eggs were tested by feeding
experiments with lhts which had
been kept on a vitamin A free diet
until they developed unmistakable
symptoms of Xerophthalmia, a dis
eased condition of the eyes which re-
suits from the lack of this constitu-
ent in the food supply. Daily doses
of only o. gram of the frozen egg
produced noticeable Improvement in
the condition of the eyes, while o25
gram doses. in most cases. cured the
disease. The daily feeding of this
small quantity of egg also caused the
animals to resume growth which had
stopped on the vitamin-free diet.
Rats in similar condition improved
at slightly greater rate when fed on
strictly fresh eggs.
