Here's Why Eggs

sor at Bunrika university. who an
nounced Thursday that he has the
answer to the mystery of why
eggs can pe made to stand on end
at the magic hour of Ii Chun-
the first day of spring on the Chi
nese calendar.
Puzzled by claims that eggs can
be made TO stand upright. Full
wara and his assistants set out to
find a scientific explanation for
the phenomenon. They tried a va
riety of experiments = boiling.
freezinz, x-raying, but without
success.
They finally considered atmos-
pheric conditions and stumbled
on the discovery that the shell of
the egg, which is porous, became
rough enough for it to be bal
anced when low humidity was
maintained.
Experiments further disclosed
that after a certain age the eggs
revealed less inclination to stay
upright owing to seepage of mi
mute particles of white egg into the
pores of the shell.

spirit of team harmony. The re-

Gathering the majority of the
votes, Jean Terao, with the highest
individual average and her smooth
bowling style, easily placed on the
first team. Following not too lar
behind in the number OF votes was
hki Fujino, the dependable mem
Der of the Bowlerettes. Her spirit
and her ability to retrieve points
when needed were quite similar to
those of jeanne Furuta. Both of
them proved to be a valuable asset
to their respective teams.
One OF the most CONSTANT spare
pickers witnessed in this inaugural
league was the ever capable anchor
of the Crown Furniture aggrega-
tion-Tak Yokoyama. Her exper-
fence in the Girls Sastern League
showed her bowling ability to quite
an advantage. The spark and the
spirit of the championship Alley
Kittens, Kiki Yamamoto, was the
last member placed on the first
team. Her bowling progress has
shown the most marked improve
ment with the result that she
should go a long way in the bowl

was close enough to warrant any
of the others a place on the ALL
