On this ever-ready foundation OF
eggs, you can create dozens of deli
cious variations, using chopped meat,
poultry, chicken livers, fish, cheese,
mushrooms, vegetables, and even
jams, jellies and preserves. Also, the
smallest bits of left-overs can be
added. If you wish a plain omelet
garniShed, there are the sauces, such
as mushroom, tomato, Spanish or
strips of crisp bacon, or savory little
sausages.
The kind of pan that you use fer
cooking an omelet will make de-
cided difference Di the quality OF
the finished product. Choose one
that is heavy enough to hold heat at
a low temperature so that your ONE
let will not cook too fast, and small
enough so that your mixture will I'LL

Sauces and Garnishes.
Eggs prepared in any of the ways
may OC OC1NCo WIN "a
great variety of sauces and garnishes.
White sauce containing hard cooked
egg yolkS makes good dish. A
poached egg on toast is improved
with white sauce. Tomato sauce COM
bines we'll with any of these eggs.
Poured over a soft cooked egg, COM
bined with a hard cooked egg sliced,
served around a poached egg or be-
/ tween and around an omelet, 1t makes
a delicious luncheon dish. When
making a tomato sauce add some
| green pepper and a mushroom or two
/ cooked in butter before the tomato is
added and Spanish omelet or
Creole omelet will be the result. If
you happen to have bit Of cooked
| ham. either fried or boiled cut in
fine strips or chop. and add to a
white or tomato sauce and it will be

These egg dishes may be made
more nutritious if cheese is added to
| the sauce. from one tablespoonful to
| two cupfuls may be added to one cup
full of white sauce, according to
whether you want slight flavor of
cheese or a regular rarebit sauce.
Cheese sauce around an omelet makes

of meat, fish. cheese, or vegetable may

results. A bit of cooked chicken or
/ corned beef, stalk or two of aspara

carrot dice, green peas. oysters and
fish flakes will help to vary the dish

sauce made with beef stock is good

Weasel often hunted along that old
stone wall and that there wasn't a
single hole that he, Peter, could enter
where Shadow could not follow him.
All Peters fears returned. "Oh, dearI
Oh, dear me! What shall I do now?"
he walled. Shadow may come back
this way. He came from the Green
Forest, anyway, suspect, and II he
goes back there he will be sure to use
the old stone wall and If he does he
will sure look into every hole. I can't
stay here don't dare do it. And I
don't dare go back the way came
because might meet him. Then, too,
Reddy Fox may be down on the Green
Meadows by this time. I wish had
needed Mrs. Peter and not left the
dear Old Briarpatch"
Just then the hunting call of Hooty
the Owl sounded from the very edge
of the Green Forest. 1t seemed so
near and sounded SO fierce that cold
shivers ran all over Peter. Instinc-
lively he lodged in an opening in the
old wall. He was safe from Hooty
there, but he would be trapped If
Shadow the Weasel should come back
that way. He shivered again at the
very thought.
IT can't stay here. I simply can't"
he said to himself. Il don't dare go
over to the Green Forest for I know
that Hooty is there. I might circle
around on the Green Meadow to get
past that barn, but if Reddy Fox
should be there, or Mrs. Reddy,
never could reach the dear Old Briar-
patch. No sir, couldn't do it. Oh,
dear, what shall I do?"
So you see Peter was in real di-
lemLla. Each thing he thought Of
doing was running great risk. He
didn't dare stay where he was and he
didn't dare leave. And he had no one
to blame but himself. He knew it and
this didn't make him feel any better.
In the dear Old Briarpatch he had
been safe. He would still be safe had
he remained there. Foolish discon-
tent and nothing else had brought him
to his present situation and not all the
regrets in the world would help him
cut OF it. 1t usually is that way Re
grets are most useless things in the
world.

THIS can be truly classified as a
= trade name" inasmuch as it has
been monopolized entirely by the
dealers in silk. Its original meaning,
however, is general dealer-one who
combines the trades of halter, clothier,
stationer. druggist, grocer and under
taker. The original department store
owner was really a mercer" before
he was a merchant.
The name Of Mercer was established
in America in the Virginia Colony by
John Mercer. a merchant of Marl-
borough, Stafford County. He was the
son of John Mercer, Of Dublin, Ire
land, and a great grandson Of Noel
Mercer, Of Chester, England. He was
born in 1904 and came to Virginia in
1920.
John Mercer was a distinguished
man of affairs in the Virginia settle
ment. He was a prosperous lawyer
and landed proprietor. He married
Catherine Mason, the only daughter
of COL George Mason, I'd, Of Virginia.
In New England the Mercer family
was represented in the earliest days
of colonization there by Thomas, who
died in Boston in 1863.
Descendants of both settlers are now
found in many States

will keep them fresh for some time.
An easy way to separate egg yolks
from whites is to break into a small
funnel over a glass or cup. The
whites will pass through and the
yolks will remain in the funnel. When
breaking eggs for cooking, and a piece
of shell gets into the egg, touch it
with a half shell and it can be easily
removed.
If white Of egg will not beat stiff,
use a teaspoonful of cold water and
a pinch of salt and adding a pinch
of baking powder while beating will
also help and will make it more fluffy
if it has to stand for a while after
beating.
Most of us have had the experience
of having egg yolkS left over from a
recipe and having them turn to some
thing resembling yellow candle wax
before a use could be found for them
There is a method whereby they can
be kept as fresh and soft as when
just opened. Drop the leftover yolkS
carefully, SO as not to break, into a
deep, slim glass Gelly glass or olive
bottle). Then cover with salad oil
Set them in the ice box, and they
will keep just as fresh as if they were

and hard boiled eggs is to put them
in the top of double boiler, have
the water rapidly boiling. place over
the boiling water, cover, remove from
the heat, and leave them the required
length of time. Soft cooked eggs will
be ready to serve in six, seven, or

Nu with telescopes see many
wi comets which are hidden
' L from common view. Among
these is Encke's comet, which
makes trip around the sun 80 times
in a century.
Encke's comet is one of many which
return in short periods. Swift's comet
comes back once in five and a half
years, Finlay'S comet once in six and
half years, and Tuttle's comet once
in 13 years and months.
Those comets are regular; but there
are others which have been '1ost."
During the Summer of l770- large
comet was observed. 1t could be seen
without the help Of telescope, having
a seeming area of 25 times as great
as the moon. The path was studied.
and it was believed that the comet
would be seen again in five and one
half years; but it failed to return.
Another large comet was seen by
people in Europe and China in 1864,
and records were made Of its outline.
What appeared to be the same comet
came back in 1856, and again was
observed in Europe and China. If it
was keeping regular period, this
comet would have returned to sight
in 1848: but no bright comet was
seen in that year.
The most famous of all lost comets
is known as Biela's. 1t was seen in
1926. in 1882 and in 1899.
Having found that it had period
of six and a half years, astronomers
expected to see Bielas comet again
in 1916. 1t did come in that year,
but this time it had split into two
parts!
The parts were about 100000 miles
from each other, but were travelling
along as comrades.
Great was the interest Of astrono-
mers as they waited for that comet in
1852. 1t came once more, but this
time the parts were divided by a
space of close to 100000 miles.
In 1859 the comet was due again.
but it failed to appear and has not
been seen since. Scientists believe
that it was broken up; and that heavy
showers of meteors which strike the
earth from time to time are broken
bits of the comet.

sky" contains diagram showing sizes
of the planets and their distance from

and there are reasons why any
~ choice may be a bad choice
the dilemma is a serious one
Peter knows all about such dilemmas.
He knows from experience. Being
such a needless, happy-go-lucky fel-

situations where he doesn't know what
to do. This was the case now. SO
Peter was in dilemma, and it wasn't
pleasant position to be in. Far
from it.
He had Just had a narrow escape

Farmer Browns barn. The timely
appearance of a Rat had drawn
Shadows attention and probably this
was all that saved Peter. Having
killed the Rat, the Shadow had gone
under the barn to look for more Rats
and Peter had taken to his heels lip

Of breath when he reached the stone
wall. Yes, sir, he was quite out of
breath and his heart was humping so
that it hurt.
How good that old stone wall looked
to Peter! Between the stones were
many openings through which Peter
could slip and he knew every one of
them. Many times he had escaped by
means of them from Reddy Fox and
Bowser the Hound. Many times he
had hidden in them when he knew
that Hooty the Owl was near. So a
little sigh of relief escaped him when
he reached the old stone wall. He sat
down close to it to get his breath.
He sat there congratulating himself
on his narrow escape. And then he
remembered something that put an
abrupt end to his elf-congratulations.
He remembered that Shadow the

TEXAS LEAGUERS
 FIND RACE TRACK RIVALRY COSTLY.

DALLAS, April 2e.-A sprin g training season and Texas league opening which evoked less interest than any in years is attributed by sports scribes to the popularity of newly -legalized horse racing in the state.
 Race tracks springing up here and there, each making it's bid for a share of the sports fans att tention, have captured the fancy of many who used to pore over box scores.
 Later in the summer, when most of the tracks are closed, it may be a different story. Club owners hope so. Most of them started the 1884 pennant race burdened with debt and faced with attendance un- certainties.

 He fought 50 or more bouts and won 40 out of 43 under the man. agement of Dave Miller. But if anyone had an idea the Bohemian boxer used his head only to stop punches they were set right when in a polite and appreciative letter to the fans he announced his re- tirement.

-SPORI
 SLANTS| A4 4 ALAN GOULD

For those who are already won- dering what will happen when young Barney Ross, king of the lightweights, tackles the belting Irishman and welter champion, Jimmy McLarnin, the answer is that Barney will probably wake up wondering just what hit him at some stage of the evenings fisti- cuffs.
 Unless years layoff and the softening influences of married life prove to have affected McLar- nin's fighting ability, I do not think Ross has more than one chance in dozen to escape being stopped, clever as everyone knows the Chicago boxer is-including New York's Tony Canzoneri.
 Ross will have speed and youth on his side, but so did one of the greatest lightweights of all time, Benny Leonard, when he tried to capture the welter crown from the veteran Jack Britton something over ten years ago in New York. Leonard lost this bout on a foul, under somewhat suspicious circum- stances, but only after it had been pretty well demonstrated he could not give. away upwards of 10 pounds to fighter of Britton's calibre.
 The same thing goes for Ross, who will have to spot McLarnin at least seven pounds, probably more, and try to cope with a fighter who carries dynamite in either fist.
 Nevertheless the Ross -McLarnin bout, obtained by the New York Milk Fund, figures to be one of the standout ring battles of the year. It is one of the few naturals in sight.

There is considerable precedent for the attempt of Ross, as fight ing champion, to move out of his class in quest of other title honors.
 Bob Fitzsimmons won the mid dleweight crown from the original Jack Dempsey, the Nonpareil, and, although inactive in defense of it, Fitz never had lost the title up to the time he knocked out Jim Corbett for the worlds heavy weight title in 1897. Subsequently Fitz beat George Gardner for the light heavyweight championship, which was more or less synthetic then and still is.
