Worcestershire Society Co-operates
in Building and Ownership
of Huge Structure.

CHELTENHAM, England P. The
most up-to-date egg packing plant in
Europe, capable of handling 100000
eggs annually, has been opened here by
Walter Guinness, British minister OF
agriculture. 1t is the property OF the
Worcestershire Fruit & Vegetable CO.
operative Marketing Society.
Eggs are collected from farms over
30-mile radius by the Society's motor
trucks, and arrive in 30-doZen boxes.
At the station these boxes are loaded on
a power conveyor and carried to the
second floor. There a gravity runway
takes them to operators who test them
while they pass over strong electric
light, grade them in an apparatus of
600-egg capacity, grading by size to give
the required weights, and pack them in
nonreturnable cases.
Each grade of eggs-Standards. spe-
Gals, pullet and small-is packed sep
arately. When the cases are filled they
are closed and sealed, and placed on
another runway, which carries them to
a table to be labeled. In 1927 the
Worcestershire marketing society han
died more than 100000 eggs.

DTROIT, November 3o.-One of the
most widely known automotlve engi-
neers the automobile industry has de-
Veloped is firm believer in the theory
that science has not yet begun to pro-
Eiuce its real benefits to mankind.
He is Charles F. Kettering, vice presi-

and president Of its research organi-
cation.
The wonderful age is yet to come;

future will see"
Is Hard to Satisfy.
Such is the belief of the man who
gave the automobile industry its electric
self-starter an electric lighting system
and scores of other Improvements.
Kettering, an inventive genius who
purposely tries to keep himself 100 per
cent dissatisfied with all automobiles all
bf the time" tells associates:
do not introduce the dangerous
mental state of completeness into your
organizations. Let our men keep open
ITO change-steady, regular develop
ment."
Kettering was a farmer boy, whose
eonSuming desire to know why made
him so valuable to his organization that
his life has been insured for millions in
havor of the General Motors Corpora
ton. It will mean that his work will
20 on after his death. He is in charge
of all research work of the corporation.
ThoroughneSs is second nature with
him. His greatest interest IS in inven-
lions that will save labor.
In his look into the wonder age of
khe future" Mr.. Kettering sees radium
pf3Ging an outstanding part. THE kite
String of future developments is the
progress already made in experimenting

Ahe University Of. Michigan conferred
hpon him the degree of doctor OF

NEW "BLUE SKY" LAW
PROPOSED IN KANSAS
Measure Would Limit Sale Of Sc
curities to Bonded and Regis
tered Brokers.

TOPEKA, Kan. CF).-Kansas. the
first State to have a blue sky" law.
may get new one from the next Leg
iSlature.
since Kansas adopted the present
statute in 1911 for regulating the sale
of securities, all States except Nevada
have enacted similar laws. Now mem
bers of the Kansas Legislature are told
a new law is necessary If the State Is
to keep abreast of others.
A bill has been drafted by c. B.
White, assistant bank commissioner in
charge of administering the blue sky
law, for presentation to the Legislature
in January. The bill follows the gen.
eral lines of a plan proposed by the
American Bar Association.
Only bonded and registered brokers,
rather than what White describes as
"high-powered, irresponsible field sales
men," would be permitted to negotiate
sales of certain types Of securities.
The proposed law also would regulate
the sale of savings certificates Of loan
companies and of shares in investment
trusts patterned on the so-called Eng
lish plan. The present law, White
points out, makes no provision for these
new developments in the field Of
finance
