Sun Ties In Practice Game

On Wednesday, May IL, Rising
Sun tied Kilby's Corner in baseball
game played at the Sun, to 8. The
game was practice tilt and was
called off at the end of the seventh
inning. A team of substitutes play
ed for the Sun for the first five in
nings, but it was followed by the
regulars. This game was not played
with high school, and so its results
make no effect on the Suns standing
in relation to other high schools Of
the county.

Eggs with whitish yolks are just as dis
pleasing. What the chef really hopes
for when he cracks the egg is one with

Perhaps the most exacting test Of an
egg is its appearance after poaching
An egg should stand up well, and

MANY TESTS USED
FOR DETERMINING
QUALITY OF EGGS
Things to Look for When
Breaking Out Eggs.

Most people decide whether TN egg
Is good or bad by its odor. Some dis
criminate further between eggs on the
way they "break out" The grocer
makes his decision on egg quality by
what he sees when he holds them
against a light. He distinguishes be-
tween fresh eggs and old ones by the
size of the air space In the blunt end
The larger the air cell the older the
egg. The grocer also throws out eggs
that show meat spots or internal dis
colOrations.
But the hotel chef uses all these
tests. and others. He usually serves
eggs In pairs. To make an attractive
plate of ham and eggs to sell at 80
cents to $1.25. the two yolks must be

Endorsing Relief Checks

Mr. Joseph R. Grant, Chairman of
the Publicity Committee of the Cecil
County Welfare Board, has issued a
statement calling the attention of
the public to a ruling of the Social
Security Board in regard to endorse
ments on Government checks.
Following is copy of a notice
which is being sent to each recipient
of Government checks, whether for
Old Age Pensions, Aid to Dependent
Children, or Aid to the Blind
This check must be endorsed
by the person or persons IN
whose favor it is drawn, and the
name or names must be spelled
exactly as shown on the face of
the check. If endorsement is
made by mark (x) it must be
witnessed by two persons who
can write, giving their place of
residence in full"
The Welfare Board wishes to call
the attention of merchants, banks,
and others who cash these checks to
this regulation so that they will be
sure that the endorsements are act
ually made by the person or persons
in whose favor the checks are drawn
and that where the endorsement is
made by mark (x), such endorst-
ment is witnessed by two persons,
giving their full name and address.

Yolks are measured for both height
and diameter. The yolk of good egg
is firm and stands up well. Stale
eggs or eggs of poor quality contain
yolks that flatten out, break easily,
and are not firm. Quality egg yolks
have a wholesome, slightly acid or
tart flavor. A stale egg has fiat
taste.
Control Feeding Recommended
But more important problem from
the poultryman's and consumers point
of view Is how to produce eggs that
measure up to these tests-how to
build eggs that look good. stand up
well when cooked. have a tart deli
cious taste. and contain more food
value than ordinary eggs.

the answer both science and practical
poultry raisers give. Through a con-

 ALASKA LEGISLATURE
(Ketchikan Chronicle)

The Ketchikan Igloo of the Pio- neers of Alaska last night adopted a resolution protesting the pro- posed adoption of unicameral system for Alaska.
 Under a bill introduced by Dele gate Dimond, the people of Alaska would have the right at the next general election to vote on wheth- Ter they want a one-house or a two-house Legislature. Once that were determined, Congress could act or not, as it saw fit.
 The Pioneef. resolution follows.
 Whereas, there is now pending before the Congress of the United States a bill providing for a refer endum by the voters of Alaska on the question of whether or not AL asila shall adopt the unicameral legislative system and abolish one house of it's present Legislature, and

WORTH A TRIAL

[
 Alaskans will be given opportunity at the rext general election to express themselves the long clssed and discussed one-house Legislature the result of the Presidents signing the bill yesterday pro- vding for such action.
 A one-house legislative group for the Territory has been popular topic for several years and it has traditional habit of bobbing up at every legislative session, usually inspired when the Senate kills some pct House bill. The Is members of the House look askance at the eight members of the Senate who with a four and four division on any measure can enlin- ate it. They argue, and often with considerable sup porting fact that four members of the Senate hold the entire control of the Legislature It often works out that way but Alaska has been fortunate in that it's Senators have been the whole of sufficient stature to consider the problems at hand thoroughly and have not leaned except few occasions toward welding their political power.
 rk It is fact however, that two-house Legislatures unwiedy in Alaska as well the States Perhaps they should be. It may be that slow and deliberate action leads to a better brand of legislation But it. would appear that in the Territory where Legis- lators few in number that the Senate does hold power just little out of balance in comparison with the greater number of members who are elected by the voters to the House
 It may be more equitable to have a Legislature made up of one house Only a trial will provide the

answer to the question, and now with such action provided for by Congress Alaskans will have oppor- tuny to express themselves at least Of course Con- gress may not fit to change the Organic Act to that extent matter how the Territorys voters press themselves, but it is probable it would heed the voice of the people
 The fact that Congress does have the final word may be just another good reason why a one-house Legislature is worth trial the north Every action the Territorial Legislature takes has to the ap- prova of Congress before becomes law so that under
 the present setup the acts of one-house group would have to be endorsed just do the acts of the two house system.

 One of the most attractive spots in Southeast Alaska the Forest Service with CCC workers are im- proving the trail it is doing in many other places But it is our theory that it is doing too good job at Anan Creek Instead of clearing dirt trail as is done in other spots the Forest Service men are building a plank walk along the creek bank. It is nice walk. No one pick flaw in it. But it occurred to us that man-made sidewalk out in such a natural wonderland just little bit too much like a city park. Walking up that fine board walk observing the bears along the stream gives one the feeling that he might into hot dog stand or peanut concession just around the next turn.
