Answer: There are four grades OF
quality. These grades are IA, A. B
and c. AA Is the fancy or highest
quality, followed oy grades A, B
and c.
Question: What constitutes quail
ity in eggs and how is it determined?
Answer: Quality of eggs is meas
ured by their desirability for human
consumption. Quality has to do with
the flavor and the exterior and in
terror appearance.
Question: How are these meas
ured?
Answer: The exterior appearance
has to do with the shell: its cleanli-
ness, freedom from cracks and
breaks, and its shape. The interior
quality Is judged by Gambling.
Question: What is Gambling?
Answer: Gambling consists of
holding the egg before strong light
In such a way that the rays of light
penetrate the egg to a considerable
extent, thus enabling the condition
OF the interior contents to be noted.
Question: What does this can
ding process reveal that determines
quality?
Answer: Most important is the
size OF the air cell, which is a direct
measure Of the freshness" or fresh
quality" Of the egg. A large air cell
indicates excessive evaporation due
to poor keeping conditions-high
temperatures, too long time in han
ding in the warehouse under i'm
proper temperature and humidity.
Question: Is there definite
measurement of the size of the air
cell?
Answer: Yes. The size OF the air
cell for grade AA must not exceed
Is inch in depth; for grade A, not
to exceed Il inch in depth; for
grade B, not to exceed Is inch in
depth, and grade c may be over IS
inch in depth.
Question: Where is the air cell?
Answer: The air cell is in the
larger end Of the egg. The air cell
can be determined by Gambling only,
which the consumer usually cannot
do since special equipment is re-
quired. Any one can observe the
air cell in hard-cooked eggs, with
the shells removed. Note the large
end of the hard-cooked egg. 1t
may be we'll rounded, indicating an
egg before cooking with small air
| cell. Or. if 1t Is flattened, the de-
gree of flatness Is a measure of the
depth of the air CELL indicating ex-
cessive evaporation due to poor han
ding and care
Question: Will all grades of eggs
be carried by every store?
Answer: Probably not, but most
retailers carry at least two grades.
Grade AA eggs are usually delivered
directly by the producer to retailers
or consumers. They are the finest
quality and sell at the highest prices.
AA eggs may be used for all kinds
of table service and cooking, but are
especially nice for fried and poached
eggs and where delcacy Of flavor is
desired.
Grade A follows grade AA in quail
ity except for the size of the air
cell. These eggs, too may be used for
all kinds OF table service and cook
ing.
Grade B follows grade A. In
grade c eggs, the air cell may
be rather large, and there is a
change in the quality OF the con-
tents. The egg white becomes very
thin in quality and the membrane
of the yolk is weakened. This can
be seen in a broken out egg, the
white spreads over large area and
the yolk f1attens or breaks. Such
eggs are satisfactory for baking and
cooking purposes.

Questions and Answers Concerning
The Status of Eggs in Wartime

A permanent egg price ceiling has
been issued by the OPA. All prices
are being based on the newly estab-
lished U. S. consumer grades. Be
cause this simplifies buying for the
consumer and protects his interest,
we have prepared below questions
and answers to show how 1t does
protect and simplify.
Question: Are egg grades some
thing new?
Answer: No, eggs have been SELL
Ing on grade to consumers in some
cities for several years, perhaps not
under Federal grades, but under
State grades.
Question: Will eggs now be sold
under Federal grades through retail
stores in all States?
Answer: Yes.
Question: Are these new grades
helpful to the consumer?
Answer: Yes! The consumer will
be able to buy the quality of eggs he
wishes at the prices he can afford to
pay. The standards set up for each
grade are the same for that grade
the country over.
Question: How many grades are
there and how are they designated?

CHICAGO Grain

CHICAGO. April 30 GPr-Wheat prices
generally held steady today. although ac-
tivity was light as grain men devoted
considerable attention, to the soft coal
controversy. Any weakening in the anti
imitation line toward labor, it was felt,
might encourage congressional efforts for
higher agricultural prices.
Trade reports said flour purchases by a
leading Dallas chain baker yesterday
amounted to between $4,000 and 100000
barrels. 1t was said the demand for
bread in the Southwest had increased con-

comprehensive scheme Of social
insurance to make certain that all
citizens and their dependents have
income sufficient for subsistence"
The Society of Individualists an
sWers that 1t desires none of that
sort OF security. In its creed" as
printed with Sir Ernest's article, it
reaffirms the value of personality as
follows:
When am on my own. an individual
responsible for myself, l must be useful
TO others, for in no other way can I exist.
my usefulness will be tested by the
willingness of others to make use of me,
and similarly others must be useful to
me. II I am planned, have no need
Whatever to consider others: they are
merely the state, the authorities, the all
pervading they; I do not know them, I
cannot make contact with them. they
mean exactly nothing to me except chits
permits. doles, passes or rations. .
II live in planned society, and the
urge to move upward has not altogether
disappeared, then the only move avail
able to me IS into the ranks of the
planners where must proceed to ar
range the affairs of others and force
them down deeper into the passivity of
planned existence.
Probably it is much too early to
attempt an accurate appraisal of
these conflicting views One thing,
however, is sure: The debate already
Is "a good show"

The latter would have been very plain,
for the small branch Of lilac pulled over
the door would have been disturbed.
Best evidence, perhaps, that the nest
had simply been deserted was the fact
that the eggs were in perfect condition.
1t is getting late for new wren family,
but not too late
House wrens have two, and sometimes
three hatchings.
They are among the most interesting
as well as among the smallest Of our
familiar birds, although there are several
species smaller.
When it comes to interest, the little
wrens yield to no species.
They are very common In all the sub
urban sections around the city.
Sometimes Carolina wren shows up
In the outskirts Of the city. but not often,
In comparison with the common wrens.
The latter are cheerful birds, with
unusually quick motions, even for birds,
and bubbling songs rather on the gay
side.
The song is not sweet, but Is so full
Oh LIE that Is usually felt to be extremely
cheerful in comparison with most other
bird songs
The song forms sort OF cascade, re-
minding the listener Of waterfall.
The wren song is one Of the most con-
stantly heard Of all bird songs.
When pair is nesting in a yard, the
song tS hoard oil 10,
thing in the morning and the last thing
at night.
These little birds are often spoken of as
pert, description which Ats them, but
comes more from the tilted tail than
from any real actions Of the birds. ex-
cept for the aforementioned unusual
quickness.
Actually the wrens are as serious as
most songsters.
Iney Will nest almost anywhere. In
this they strike the average watcher
as somewhat careless, since often the
site is very low.
They have been known to nest In the
sleeves Of clothing placed out to air on
porch.
Oio Tin cans suit them very we'll
They will nest over a doorway, as
robins do, and defend their cradles
against all corners, but not SO persist
emily as the mockingbirds.
In the return to the old nest on July
so, the wrens spent great deal of time
chasing away song sparrow.
Surely no song sparrow would do any
harm, but the wrens evidently were TAX
Ing no chances this time. Perhaps they
had been too complacent about curiosity
mongers the last time, Now they were
going to do right, so started to chase
away the song sparrow at once. We will
be interested in seeing what they do
when the thrasher takes up his old place
in the bush.

Lebensruum

In days Of peace we used to SYM
pathize tunefully with the appar-
emily immortal Rufus Rastus john
son Brown, who had so much diff
Guilty in paying the rent. Today, Mr..
Brown would be envied, because he
must have had lease. OF course, 1t
is still true that rent means dough, ;"
as the song has it, but he could get
that at almost any defense plant,
and his real asset would be that
highly important bit of paper, the
lease.
Like many other worthwhile OBJ
jects, strenuous tactics may have to
be employed to get it, backed up by
a ruthless determination to win at
any cost. Such was the case of
house-hunter in war crowded Macon,
Ga, who first tried to be decent but
had no luck. Then, becoming des-
perate, he threw scruples to the wind
and adopted plan that would have
earned the complete Endorsement of
Hitler or Mussolini. Selecting twenty
friends, he sent them a circular let
ter, ordering them to find him
house by September or else. The "or
else," as explained in a postscript
was threat to move in, with family
on the friend, and thereby acquire
living space.
N. Bit worked. He still has
twenty friends, more respectful than
they ever were beforehand a house

Planners and AntipIunners

Some persons undoubtedly are
happy In a collectivist experiment.
Others, 1t is equally evident, cannot
be content under system of regi-
mentation, however beneficent its
purpose. The latter are represented
by Sir Ernest Benn and the Society
OF Individualists, which he has or
ganized against planning for in
creased state control. Nations
Business for August contains an in
teresting exposition of the conflict
currently developing in Great Brit
ain, If not elsewhere in the world.
Sir Ernest's principal antagonist,
obviously, is Sir William Beveridge,
the author of the security proposals
which bear his name. The issue be-
tween them is stated by Sir Ernest in
the affirmation that totalitarianism
is "the lowest form of human degra-
dation." He has further expressed
himself in these words:
Autocrats, dictators and bureaucrats
start upon the basis that the individual
man Is knave or fool that he does
not know what is good for him and that
governments must take him in hand.
The other, better democratic way as
sumes the individual man to be good, or
at least to have more good than bad in
him, and that such bad as there Is will
be kept in check by the natural competi-
ton of the good.
1t is high time we divided ourselves
and marked out much more clearly the
line between these two wholly different
schools Of thought. There is a big,
powerful and ill-def1ned class which is
attracted by the temporary convenience
OF making special arrangements for
knaves and fools. This class forgets that
those arrangements, made in the name
OF the state must be applied to ALL and
must, therefore, result in multiplying the
numbers of both knaves and fools and
weakening the whole of the fabric
Millions of our people now look for
sustenance to a state which already owes
them many thousands of millions and
can give them nothing but what 1t can
extract from the dependent people them
selves. 1t is position of grave danger.
But the planners" are not likely
to be satisfied with Sir Ernest's dis
cussion Of their attitude Sir William
does not think of the generality of
his neighbors in England as being
either scallywags or imbecileS. On
the contrary, his blueprint for
better Britain" calls for both honesty
and intelligence in application. The
Beveridge scheme is not essentially
dictatorial. Yet 1t is true that its
sponsor wants it implemented by the
state and omits no one from its
"coverage." AS set forth In the report
published last December, it proposes
