his tracks at the sight that greeted
his eyes. For moment he imagined
he beheld before him a loathsome
monster such only as the brain of
Cabell or a Rabelais might devise.
Enormously broad, and with it's head
and shoulders lost in wavy masses of
black hair, it lay propped against the
deckhouse, one huge hand pressed to
it's side. Then Struthers realized he
had not missed his only shot, for be-
tween the gnarled ebony fingers of
the PROSTATE giant, there purled a
jerky bright stream. While his head
whirled, Struthers saw the mystery
begin to unravel itself. First he rec
ognized that what lay before him was
a huge human of negroid stock, the
broad flat nose, the sable skin and
kinky hair left no doubt of that;

had given that grotesque owl-like ex-
preston to the man who lay dying
on the deck.
The black was looking up at him
from small blood-shot eyes with yel-
low eyeballs like those of trapped
and doomed animal. Struthers abrupt
ly came to a realization that if he
were to attempt to learn anything, !
he must waste no time. That bright
scarlet pool was creeping ever wider
over the emerald green moss sprout-
ing unhealthily in the lee of the deck
house.
He brought up the pistol ominously,
in line with those fearful black eyes. |
"Now listen," he snarled, you'll very
likely die but if you talk, there's a
chance 1 can save you."
Amid the foul regalia spread on the
deck, the other shook his head won

Delaware Division, International
Sunshine Society, at it's spring meet
ing in the Millwood M. E. Church
last Thursday, decided to take mart
in the reforestation project being
sponsored by the Delaware State
Federation of Women's Clubs as a
part of its conservation program.
The division purchased an acre of
land, which will be used in the prof.
est. The purchase for which imme-
diate payment was made to Mrs. L.
A. Drexler, president of the Delaware
State Federation, followed an address
by Mrs. Drexler in which she spoke
of the project. This is the ninth
acre to be secured by the federation
and was the first to be paid for in
full at its purchase. All the federat-
ed clubs in the state will be asked to
take part in the project.
Mrs. H. d. Simpson, president of
the Delaware Division, International

meeting. Greetings were extended |

Eggs, And Their Uses

A study of egg uses In the United
States conducted during recent
months by the poultry section of tbs
/ Agricultural Adjustment Admins.
tration shows that In 1885 more than
80 per cent of the eggs disposed went
in to shell-egg consumption chan
nels. largely for dining table use.
The various uses OF eggs In that
year accounted for approximately
2,53s 100000 dozens, as follows:
Shell-egg consumption, dining table.
2,097, ,375,000 dozens, or 1884 per
cent; shell-eggs used for matching
purposes. 103 3,900.000 dozens. or 4.e9
per cent; liquid or frozen consume
tion, 71,S26,000 dozens, or 6.77 per
cent; dried-egg consumption, 3S,-
$4,000 dozens, or 1.53 per cent; in
edible and waste eggs. 126,050, 900
dozens, or 4.97 per cent.
The outstanding important use for
eggs. as would be anticipated is for
human food. The major outlet for
shell eggs is for use on the dining
table in the home and public eating
places. Frozen or liquid eggs find
their most important outlet through
the baking trade in the preparation
of cakes. pies. biscuits, crackers,
cookies, doughnuts, pastries, and |
bread. The manufacture of mayon-
naise and salad dressing also fur
nishes an important outlet for liquid
and frozen eggs. The most impor-
tant outlets for dried eggs are the
bakery. confectionery, and ice cream
.rades.
Animal food uses are relatively
lnimportant at the present time.
eleven technical uses were reported.
Among these outlets, the leather and
ur trade. lithographing, textile
printing, and pharmaceuticals were
he most important
Next to dining table uses for shell
ggs. the commercial and farm
atching is the most important use
f shell eggs.
Based on information from vari-
us trade sources. il has been esti-
mated that nearly per cent of the
otal volume of egg disappearance in
935 was inedible and waste. The

FARM NOTES

Whether the homegrown cereals
are wheat flour. whole-wheat break
fast food, corn meal, or rice, they
must be given just as much care to
protect them from insect pests in
warm weather as any cereals bought
in packages at the store. In fact, it
may be even more difficult to store
these products under household con-
ditions than when they have been
subject to a thorough sterilizing
treatment in a mill or factory and
then sealed in airtight packages.
Cereal beetles or weevifs can live |
for long time on very small guam |
titles of dry cereal that they find in |
cracks, corners, and crevices of -four |
bins, pantries and kitchen closets. |
When the new lot of cereal comes in,
the eggs may already be in the old
container ready to hatch out into
larvae which soon become very trou-
blesome.
So it pays to clean out all cereal
receptables thoroughly before new
is put in them. and also to
90 over the pantry shelves carefully
with a stiff brush and soap and hot
water to remove any old crumbs of
cereal, flour. or bread that may be
odged out of sight, or any dust or
int which might harbor insect eggs.
The Indian-meal moth is one of the
ereal pests that make a loose web
