NEW CENTURY CLUB

The members of the club and their
guests were delightfully."- entertain
ed on Monday afternoon in the club
rooms by Mrs. Ethel Pennewill
Brown-Leech, the artist, whose home
and studio is in Frederick.
Mrs. c. H. Nutter, president, call
ed the club to order and the routine
business was briefly disposed Of,
then Mrs. c. D. Abbott, chairman of
arts and crafts, took the chair and
after a piano solo by Mrs. Wesley
Heebner, presented the artist, speak
er for the afternoon. Mrs. Leech
/ was a former student of Howard
Pyle, and the first part Of her pro-
gram was devoted to his work.
Many of his original drawings in
pencil, pen and ink and charcoal
were shown. Particularly interest
ing were the many reproductions of
his original drawings in great va
riety of studies, taken from maga-
zines of by-gone days.
Mrs. Leech also gave a fine talk
concerning the personal life of the
artist as she knew him, showing his
sincerity in his work, his methods of
teaching, his insistence on accuracy
of every minor detail, also his atti-
tude of a friendly critic towards his
students.
A large oil painting Of the inter-
lar of his studio was exhibited; this
was painted by Mrs. Leach after the
artist had gone to Europe.
She then gave a brief review of
her experiences when a student of
the artist and showed and explained
a number of her own drawings.
These consisted of many finely
drawn illustrations for fiction pub
lished in the magazine: the "Out-
look" "Leslie's," Golfers" and
"Harper's Bazaar" were among
those shown with reproductions of
her work. One of her sketches
shown was 1.-THE Spirit of the Bells"
and received much praise, the tower
of Old Swede's Church, Wilmington,
is accurately drawn in this picture.
Posters of original conception |
were shown, one Delaware Awake"
done for the Liberty Loan drive re-
ceived much favorable comment on
account of its perfection in detail
and appropriateness.
Mrs. Leech supplemented her talk
on art with delightful account of
a tour she recently made of the
coast towns Of Africa, Spain, France
and Italy; this was intensely inter-
esting, viewed through the eyes Of
In artist, and one very adept to see
he humorous side, as well as the ar
istic values of many episodes.
Next Monday afternoon at $3.50

EGG PRICES LOWER
THAN LAST YEAR
(conttnued from irat paral

in attempting to solve some of the
problems relative to the more econ
omic marketing of eggs, perhaps the
poultry raisers in Delaware might be
interested in knowing how these
/ questions are discussed by DR..
Claude l.. Benner, who is head of the
Economics Department of the Uni
Yersity of Delaware. In a recent ar
ticle on the outlook for egg prices
during the spring and summer
months, DR.. Benner gives the follow
ing advice:
1T is quite likely that egg prices
for the spring and early summer of
this year will be somewhat under
what they were for 1925. Several
factors are making for this. One of
the most important is the cold stor-
age situation. Last year the cold
storage men suffered heavy losses.
They put eggs in storage during the
summer at prices so high that they
were unable to sell them during the
winter at a profit. We need not ex-
pect that they will make this mis-
take again this coming year. Figures
given out by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture show that
cold storage holdings of eggs which
last year had been reduced on Feb
ruary 1 to $1,000 cases now stand at
$4,000 cases.
Another factor which is important
to Delaware producers is the COM
petition which they are compelled to
meet in the New York market from
the Pacific Coast eggs. At the pres
ent time these eggs are coming
through in excellent shape showing
practically no air cells and having
almost uniform light yolks. Conse-
quently, they top the market and
come into direct competition with
the best eggs produced by Delaware
poultrymen.
These factors are not given to
make the poultry producers pessi-
mistic about the future, but only to
show the imperative need for two
things: (1) economic egg produc-
ton, and (2) production of only the
highest quality eggs.
In the report for January Mr.. Pal
mer gives special emphasis to the
care that should be taken in select
ing eggs for Matching purposes, for
in order to get pullets that will lay
the kind of eggs that our markets
demand we must select that type of
eggs which are to be used for hatch
ing. The size, shape, color and tex
ture of the shell are factors which
pullets inherit from their parents,
and it has been proven that small
eggs result in small, weak pullets
which in turn ay the small eggs. The
three essential points which Mr..
Palmer mentions in the care of hat
ching eggs are: CD gather the eggs
at least twice a day, (2) store them
in cool, dry place where the tenn
perature ranges from so to 60 de-
grees Fahrenheit, and (S) do not
hold the eggs longer than 10 days
before setting them.

the Suez route, while "a nations were
represented in the maritime caravan
at Panama.
The World War was not the only
unexpected factor IN bringing Pana-
ma so quickly to equality with Suez,
nor the most important The enor-
nous increase in Panama traffic in
1923 was represented almost entirely
by petroleum and its products, NOV
ing from California to the east coast
and Europe. In the year ended June
80, 1924, tolls aggegattng $24,290, 900
were collected, of which $9,071, 900
was from tankers carrying petroleum
An even more striking statement Of
the matter is that for the same year
exactly SO per cent Of all tonnage
through the Canal was between the
two ocean fronts Of the United
States: that is, 1a,500,000 tons, and
OF this, considerably over 5000, 900
tons, or more than twothirds was Pc
troleum. II was Of course chiefly
from California, en- route to eastern
refnerfes. In the succeeding year
this petroleum movement fell of
heavily; but for 1925 II is again In
creasing and the increase Is likely to
continue for many years But for the
petroleum traffic, the Canal would
have shown a deficit in every year OF
its operation
The enormous petroleum business
has been in other ways advantageous
to Panama A constantly increasing
proportion Of maritime shipping now
adays uses oil fuel Oil-burning ships
seek routes on which they can most
cheapfy buy oil; and because Cali
fornia oil can be put so cheapiy into
the bunkers of vessels passing
through the Panama ditch, there
is substantial indncement to
prefer this route. This VIII in
creasingly favor Panama and mill
tate against Suez, as the number
of oil burners Increases. Moreover.
Panama's advantage win still further
increase as the enormous oil re-
sources Of Veneznela, Cunmhta, and
other South American countries
are developed.
Great Service OF Panama
II cheap petroleum has thus served
Panama so wei. Panama tn turn has
equally served the American motor.
list, who consumes most Of the WORLDS
petroleum products. For Panama has
brought the Pacific Coast petroleum
to the eastern market at costs which,
but for the Canal. would be vastly
greater Thus the Canal has given
the United States the cheapest pc
troleum products in the world, and
helped build the automobile industry
and our modern highway system
This mutually helpful relationship
between the Canal and the petroleum
users is the more impressive when
one realizes that II was not even re-
motely anticipated at the time Presi-
Canal So late, indeed, as 1910, when
Admiral Evans wrote hts articles
about the Canal and decided that II
could not be profitable for several
decades at least, he based all hts cal
culations on the probable cost of coal
for bunkering ships He did not
dream that merchant marines were
on the verge Of the revolutionary
change from coal to oil So he figured
that, as there is practically no bunker
coal in the countries bordering on the
pete, by way Of Panama, for a great
ly increased share of shipping. The
oil development overturned the proph-
ecies of Admiral Evans, and of all
others who hid foreseen that fuel
problems would make Panama uA-
profitable.
