More than one-hak Of the 1,126,0OO
private owners of automobiles would
be unable to meet judgment ex.
ceeding $1,000. Yet the motor death
roll each year is approximately 10000
There are about 100000 accidents
each year, and one accident in every
seven results in claims against the
car-owner for over $1,000.
These are some of the facts stated
by Herbert L. Towle in The Outlook.
He raises the question, How is the
public to be protected against ire
sponsible automobile drivers?"
IF we cannot prevent accidents"
he writes, "let us as least see that
they are paid for, is the argument:
let all motorists share the burden.
Some fifty-seven bills were presented
on that subject before the 1925 legis-
latures of twenty-six states.
"Only two bills passed-the best,
probably, of two very different types.
"The Massachusetts, law goes into
effect January 1, 1927. It requires
every owner to carry either liability
insurance in the minimum amount of
$4,000 for one person hurt or killed
and $4,000 for personal injuries in
any one accident, or surety bond in
the same amount or to deposit $4,000
in cash or securities with the state
treasurer. Careful provisions are
made to protect the claims of injured
persons from defeat through lapse or
cancellation of policies.
1.-THE Connecticut law, effective
January last, is very different. It
is aimed less at compelling insurance
than at making careless driving I'M
attractive. It applies only to owners
or drivers who shall have been con-
victed of (a) drunken driving, (b)
reckless driving, or (c) running away
after an accident; or who shall have
caused either (d) personal injury or
(e) property damage to the amount

California Buying
Idaho Dairy Cattle

California Is becoming a depend
able market for Idaho dairy cows, it
is pointed out by F. w. Atkeson,
dairy husbandman for the University
Of Idaho. In two or three districts in
South Idaho buyers have been sta
toned almost continuously and the
animals are being shipped either d.
rectly or indirectly to California.
"The present situation is very de-
sirable one for the Idaho dairy indus
try" says Professor Atkeson. with
cheap feed Southern Idaho can grow
cattle more economically than many
other sections. The state Is a very
logical dairy region and the whole
sale dispersal of cattle is certainly
not to be encouraged The whole
milk market of California, however,
may we'll be taken care of, and the
sale Of surplus cattle will yield well
come income"
Prospect that this market for the
states surplus will be available for
a long period, is seen by Professor
Atkeson. In Southern California land
prices are so high that raising Of
heifers to replace herd COWS is of
doubtful profit. Many dairymen
around Los Angeles make a practice
Of buying COWS from dealers in stock
yards, milking them as long as 1t Is
profitable, then selling them for beef
and buying another lot.
In the past California has looked
more to Oregon and Washington for
its supply. Professor Atkason points
out that because Of the stringency Of
the California laws against tubercu-
losis, and the fact that Idaho has been
fortunate in keeping her herds virtu-
ally free from the disease, Idaho cat.
tie are finding more and more favor.
Less than one per cent Of Gem state
cattle tested have been reactors.
Another point in favor of the Idaho
COW Is cited: Cattle raised in Idaho
receive an abundance of good alfalfa
hay during the entire growing period
and as result are well grown out
and store up great reserves Of nutri-
ents which make 1t possible for them
to be high producers for their new
owners. AS California dairymen be-
come better acuuainted with the facts
that Idaho cattle are healthy and that
they probably are higher producers
than cattle from most other sections,
the demand will be greater"

The bell-hops of the large New
York hotels, who, as almost every one
knows, are the means whereby out-of-
town guests obtain illegal liquor, have
worked out the following system:
When the guest rings for the bell-boy
and asks If booze can be obtained, the
boy replies that he will see what can
be done. He then makes an inquiry
at the desk as to what city the guest
halls from, and informs the bootleg
ger of the purchasers home town, SO
that he can charge hometown
prices" In other words, il you are
from the West Coast, the price is $40

How to Preserve Eggs
Told by Prof. Parkhurst

The most important consideration
In preserving eggs is to have the
proper kind OF eggs to start with, de-
clared Prof. R. T. Parkhurst, poultry
husbandman for the University Of
Idaho. No doubtful eggs should be
stored as few bad ones will spoil
many others they come in contact
with. Fresh, infertile eggs with
sound shells are best.
The most common method Of pre-
serving eggs for household use, by
means of water glass (sodium sill
cate), is described by Professor Park
hurst. Eggs preserved in this man
ner. he says. have been found to be
in excellent condition after six or
eight months. April, May, and June
are the months of highest production
and consequently the time of lowest
prices, so that eggs are usually put
up during these months.
Stone jars are usually used in the
water glass treatment. "a five gal
Ion JAR" says Professor Parkhurst,
will hold Is dozen eggs and will re-
Quire ten to ten and a half quarts Of
liquid to cover them. The jars should
be thoroughly cleaned and then
rinsed with boiling water. They
should be candled in order that
cracked or broken ones and those of
poor texture may be removed. Dirty
eggs should not be used unless abso.
lutely necessary and then they should
first be washed. Either hard or soft
water may be used.
'"Take IL quarts of water that has
been boiled, and when it is cool add
one quart of water glass and stir
thoroughly. Pour the mixture over
the eggs until they are entirely COW
cred. Be sure that the eggs are COW
cred by at least an inch of the solu-
ton. Those not fully immersed will
spoil.
"The solution may also be put in
jar and the eggs added few at a
time as gathered. If this method is
used the hands should be perfectly
clean. The basement of IAN ordinary
dwelling house makes a very suitable
place for storage.
IF water glass eggs are to be
boiled needle should be stuck
through the shell of the large end Of
the egg to prevent its breaking when
it gets hot.
'There are several commercial oint-
ment preparations on the market that
are applied as grease to the eggs.
Most of them have proved satisfac-
tory. Their advantages over liquid
preservatives are that they are more
pleasant to handle and that they are
generally better for boiling purposes"

Twelve Billion Pounds
of Sugar Used in 1925

During 1925 the American people
used 10, 157, 064,640 pounds Of sugar OF
an average Of 107 pounds for every
person in the country, according to
figures compiled by the weekly trade
journal, Facts About Sugar This is
the largest amount of sugar ever con.
sumed in one year by any nation and
represents an increase of seven
pounds per person over the consump'
ton of 1924.
Even with the record-breaking guam.
tity of sugar used in the United States
during the past year Americans can
not claim to be the champion sugar.
eaters of the world as individuals
The annual per capita consumption
in Australia and New Zealand is over
100 pounds.
OF the total amount or sugar used
in 1925 little less than half or s..
700,0O0,0O0 pounds was produced in
various parts of the United States, in.
Guiding the 16 states from Michigan
and Ohio in the East to California
and Washington in the West in which
sugar is made from sugar beets, the
states of Louisiana, Texas and Florida
erritories-Hawaii, Porto Rico, the
Philippines and the Virgin Islands
The balance, about 100000, 900
pounds, was supplied by Cuba.
The total sugar bill of the Ameri
can people last year, taking the aver
age retail price in New York as the
basis Of computation, was roundly
$79O,000,000 or over $2,OO0,O0O day
This Of course is the amount paid by
consumers. The value of the crop to
producers was much less, about 1885,.
100000, the difference representing
the cost of refining and distributing
and the profits of wholesale and re.
tail dealers. The sugar imported was
brought into the country in raw
state and was refined by American re
fneries but even so it represented a
payment to foreign producers of over
half million dollars a day for this
one item in the nations diet.

Historical Error
Persists Seventy Years

LONGVIEW, Wash.-For seventy
years Washington historians had
been mistaken as to where and when
the petition originated on which Con-
gress acted in creating Washington
territory, it was disclosed here by
w. P. Bonney, Tacoma, secretary of
the State Historical Society the
matter was finally righted by Prof.
Edmond S. Meany of the University
Of Washington and others associated
with him.
The petition originated at Cowlitz
Landing, near Longview, August 20,
1851, they discovered. Before the
error was found it was thought that
the petition originated at the Month
cello convention on the Uncle OAR
by" Huntington homestead, now part
of the Longview city site, November
rs, 1852. December that same year
Congress passed the bill creating the
territory. On giving the matter
thought, Mr.. Bonney knew that the
petition could not have reached the
national capital in eleven days with
the methods of communication in
those days, SO he brought the matter
to the attention Of Professor Meany,
and the error was discovered.

rmno.sib,e to Forecast Conditions.

After careful consideration, the
United States Weather Bureau an
nolnces that it Is impossible at the
present time to, forecast conditions IA
vorable or unfavorable for radio
reception.
"As no one knows enough as yet
about the factors involved to make II
certain that they would be reliable, 1t
Is felt that it would be unwise to un-
dertake such forecasts" said the bu-
reau. although many persons have
studied the weather maps In relation
to signal strength, static and other
conditions as determined by 1ndivloual
opinion when listening in, and some
precise measurements have been made
hv physicists and radio specialists,
there is difference of opinion as to the
extent to which the character of the
weather affects radio signals, ana
there seem to be other strong lnf1u-
ences also involved in the proplem.
Apparently apparatus OF precision
and special training would be neces-
sary to make any adequate invest1ga-
tion in this field, and unless 1t were
shown conclusively that the weather
was the major consideration, and not,
for example, electricity, it would not
be within the sphere of the Weather
Bureaus activities to undertake sucn
work, especially II the facts learned
could not be related to the general
weather data collected by that bu-
reano
