practiced home maker, she knows that
when she increases the number of eggs
eaten by the family she is adding to
the total iron, calcium, phosphorus.
and other valuable food elements its
members are getting in their diet. II
she is beginner, she serves eggs be-
cause the taste of Them is liked and
because they are easy to cook. AS q
matter of fact, in spite of this last ex-
cellent reason for serving eggs often,
it sometimes happens that she Justi-
fies the time-worn phrase of contempt,
"She doesn't even know how to boil
an egg" Or, to put it another way,
she has not yet learned that for best
results eggs are never boiled. but cook
ed soft or hard by a method that Is
equally easy, and that does not over
cook the whites and leave the yolks
raw. Soft-cooked eggs properly pre-
pared, are sometimes called "coddled."
and are always recommended for little
children, especially when they are be-
ginning to take solid foods.
BY simply prolonging the time. eggs
| may be similarly "hard-cooked" for
the school lunch box or spring picnic
and they will be much better than
hard boiled" eggs, in which the
whites usually become tough and
leathery if the yolks are cooked long
enough to be firm. The Bureau OF
Home Economics of the United States
Department Of Agriculture gives the
following directions for cooking eggs
properly in their shells:
The best method is to use a double
boiler. In the top part put the eggs
and cupful of boiling water for each
egg to be cooked. Cover closely, and
keep warm over hot water in the lower
part of the double boiler. Leave the
eggs in the hot water for to 8 min
utes if they are to be soft-cooked, OF
for 80 minutes If they are to be hard
cooked. Eggs prepared in this way
! are then ready for use in salads, fol
stuffed or deviled eggs, or for sand.

uniyersity's annual "open house" dur
ing which the campus, the class rooms
and laboratories, the special buildings
and the students living quarters are
thrown open for the visits and inspec-
ton of that universal favorite OF
young and old-mother.
AS in past years, the morning Will
be devoted to visiting classes and liv-
ing quarters with son or daughter,
peeping into the fraternity or sorority
houses, or meeting the favorite in
structors in whose classes the students
happen to be.
Each student who has a visitor Will
entertain his or her mother at lunch.

faculty and student members are to
count for anything. Speakers Will
