 In the course of our duty as man-about-town, we came upon tn" disillusioning fact the other day that candles are no longer used in egg candling-at least in New York.
 To be sure, 1t all happens in the darkest of basements. The candling lamps of to-day are mod ern, in small black box with bulb throwing the rays.
 Still and all, the same results are had, for the law demands this formality. And it is thus that great city learns whether its eggs are Grade A or B. Millions of egsg pass through the hands of the experts retained for this in- spection. A good candler passes on SOInetHIuB lhe lVsVVV SS6S day. and how eagle is his eye is nobodys business. And while in vestigating this industry, learned what happens to those bad egg which, by some mysterious process escape my particular grocer.
 They arc sold to shoe tanne1 and go into leather!
 And strange as 1t may seem, there was once upon q time man who practically devoted his life to the effort of getting fresh eggs into the average kitchen. His name was Adolph Liebling, and I hope q. monument is erected to him some day. For he spent years of his life in dank cellars getting the movement started.

Save This National Park

Establishment of the Smoky Mountains National Park is hopeless according to the latest reports from North Carolina If that is so then the whole nation has been sadly mis- informed. To the best of our knowledge everything including actual possession of the immense tract of mountain land had been attended to by legislators for the states con- eerned and also for the government. Lum- bering companies holding timber rights in the region had been assuaged and were willing to dedicate the land as sanctuary for the flora and fauna of the district Now we hear that 1t will never be national park.
 And the reason is this. Right in the heart of the proposed park is 3O.OOO acre tract of timberland owned by tbc Champion Fibre company. This concern some years ago expressed its willingness 10 give up its valuable site for certain considerations of course The park commission valued the timberland at S650,00O which the company held too low A recent jury of view es'I- mated that the land was worth S2.325,OOO Naturally the company will not part with its land for mere $650.O 900. not for ali thc moral suasion in the world. Evidently the park commission is trying 10 get something for nothing.
 If we remember correctly there have been some valuable contributions 10 the fund 10 purchase this park site, The Rockefeers year or so back donated what was consld cred sufficient sum 10 save the spot from the axe We cant understand why the park commission let the matter of purchasing the timber rights in the interior of the park slide SO long. It has been the governments ex- perience with national parks that timber rights within them are extremely trouble some. Yosemite National Park is glarln2 example of this. Many fine old redwoods were sacrificed before the national park bu- reau of the interior department could get enough popular sympathy to cause the gov crnment to buy up the land or affect trans- fers which saved the park property from fu- ture depredations
 If the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is ever established it must contain no area that is privately owned. It must come in- tact 10 the government. And we think that congress might make it point 10 discover whether or not it has park down there on the North Carolina Tennessee boundary line or just the nucleus of one. The advantage of establishing such park has been empha- sized too many times to go into discussion of it here. Suffice it to say that Uncle Sam s allowing petty polite: and red tape 10 spoil project that has a nationwide appeal and value.

New York.-Anyone who can re- main theatrical idol over a period of years in this mans town can be no ordinary concoction of clay. In this day and age, Broadway's turn over gets greater and greater. But over on the East Side it's something else.
 And over where Second avenue is the Broadway of what once was the Ghetto, the name of Molly Picon grows larger and larger in the bright lights. In fact. this season this phenomenon of the East Side the aters owns her playhouse.
 Last year, had you asked--and why should you'll would have had to tell you that she was star of Kessler's theater. and that she had become so much of q person. ality that when she came uptown to leading vaudeville showplace. the sell-out sign immediately went up. Because everyone in the uptown belt wanted to know what she was all about.
 Very well, Molly plays in Yid- dish, with just enough English paprika for the visitors who don't understand that language.
 For say what you will, New ork remains series or small towns. and neighborhoods as they are in any small town of the na- ton. And Molly's appeal is a neighborhood appeal and her most loyal followers are neigh borhood folk. After all, there are few stage idols left in these fluc- tuant days!
 As a matter of fact, Mile Picon had to study Hebrew to master 1t, for she had grown 90 accustomed to speaking what passes for Eng fish in Manhattan.
 English dialect, she appeared in vaudeville until she wearied of 1t and married Jacob Kalich, and went abroad. After some years In Russia, Vienna and where-not, she returned to the East Side.

Residents of each block, he explained, were to chip in and pay a man $15 week for show cling the snow off everybody's front walk for 10-week period. Both the people of the block and the hired man had to gamble on the chances of lots of snow or none at all. The same man could be used, with extra pay. for odd jobs.

THE BALTIMORE FIRE

THE BALTIMORE FIRE
 On Feb z, 1904, a fire wiped out the business center of Baltimore, Md. causing loss estimated at $125, 5,000,000.
 The fire burned 90 hours and spread over territory bounded by Fayette, Charles, Baltimroe, Liberty and Lombard streets, the water front and Jones' Falls.
 Within three years the burned area was completely rehabilitated. The fire has since been considered blessing in disguise because of the spirit of progress which 1t awakened
