Cecil County Grand Jury, last Sep

BOULEVARDS HAVE RIGHT
OF WAY

The roads have been designated
by the Staate Roads Commission
that come under the new Boulevard
Law recently passed by the Legis-
lature, in which motorists shall have
right of way at all intersections.
The Commission has purchsed five
thousand markers which will desig-
nate the main thoroughfares in the
State. Under that portion OF the
law which is now effective, motor
lists coming on to an improved road
from an unimproved road or private
road must stop and give the right OF
way in either direction to motorists
on the improved road.
When markers are erected on the
boulevards then these designated
roads will have the right OF way
over all intersecting roads, except
where main thoroughfares may in
tersect and then proper marking will
be designated by the State Roads
Commission.
1t is expected that this law will
save many accidents.

NATIONAL EGG WEEK

Every effort will be made during the
week of May to 7 to focus the atten-
ton Of Maryland consumers upon the
great possibilities of eggs as nutritious,
economical and extremely valuableI food
constituent, according to DR.. Bonn
berger, chief of the State department of
markets. Plans for Maryland partic-
ipation in the observance of "Nat-
sonal Egg Week. are going forward
under the supervision OF a special
committee.
1t is pointed out that in spite OF the
fact the annual production of eggs in
the State is valued at more than $1,000
esuoir.sis J 81 md1
mnds Of consuming pubic. IS
The average person. when buying a
dozen eggs, often fails ito fully realize
just what he is getting for his money.
They are considered to be not only
an excellent food product but an eco
nomical one when it is considered that
in purchasing twelve eggs one is getting
the equivalent to pound and a. half
of meat with no more waste than that
provided by the she'll 9F N
That the hen is most economical
and efficient producer and the eggs an
efficient product is shown by the fact
that a hen averaging in weight from
four to six pounds, if well fed and well
managed, will produce from five to six
times her own weight in eggs during the
course of one year. When it is con-
sidered that hen will do this on a feed
ration of from eighty to ninety pounds
it is no wonder she has won for herself
the title OF, "The most efficeut of all
farm animals in furnishing food for
human consumption.
Probably the most desirable and incest
part of the hens product, however, is
the ease with which it may be prepared
for consumption and the fact that the
hen furnishes it to US in sanitary. sealed
containers.
