The Tharp shop, owned by the
Southern States Corporation, con-
tanned all the equipment for SER
vicing farm machinery, several

More Money From
Your Eggs Now

Cooling eggs will bring poultry
men more money. Willard T Nc
Allister, marketing specialist, of
the University of Delaware gives
the following tips. on preparing
eggs for market.
Mr.. McAllister says that hot
summer temperatures are the cause
Of many low quality eggs. The tenn
perature of a newly laid egg is
above 1907 Fahrenheit, and if quail
ity is to be maintained, rapid and
complete cooling of eggs is a must
Eggs will cool from 100' to 50o Fa-
hrenheit in three hours if they are
spread on a wire tray. It takes five
hours for them to cool if they are
III a wire egg basket. A solid pail
full of eggs will take twelve hours
Warm eggs should never be put
it viii take upwards Of Is to 20
directly into cartons or cases for
hours for them to cool thoroughly.
Some eggs that are 100 days old
viii be better than some three-day-
old eggs simply because they have
been cooled properly and kept cool
Temperatures above 90o Fahren-
heit will drop to a "B" grade in
three days or less. Eggs at room
temperature will keep well for at
least eight days. Eggs stored at
450 for IS days, or 80 for 100 days
will keep their good, fresh quail
ties.
The humidity of the rooms in
which you store your eggs is i'm
portant. A high humidity, IS per
cent or more, will prevent evapor-
alton of moisture from the eggs.
Egg cellars where both the humid
ity and temperature can be con-
trolled will pay dividends in the
long run.

ings is to get the local dairymen
out for informal get-to-gethers. The

testing and record keeping pro-
grams on these farms and show the
resulting improvement in produc-
ton.
The pasture and haylands will
also be inspected.
Mr. John L. Morris, fieldman for
the HOlstein Friesian Association
of America, will show an interest
ing cOlOred movie.
Everyone who is interested in
dairy cattle and who is within driv-
ing distance of either of these
farms is invited to be present. All
boys and girls are given a special
invitation. Refreshments will be
served.

Realistic" Art In
Hungary

VIENNA - up - Realism is not
realism if it pOrtrays things as they
really are. In that case it's natur-
alism, which only reflects bourge-
Oise decadence. That's the latest art
lesson being taught in Hungary, ac-
cOrding to reports reaching Vienna.
Hungarian artists have been told
to adopt "heroic realism" as prac-
ticed in the Soviet Union. Heroic
realism" shows. things as they
ought to be. For those artists who
are in need of ideas, the Commun-
ist Party has issued the following
suggested" themes:
Border patrols arresting an i'm
perialist spy. The state prosecutor
demanding a heavy sentence for a
traitor to the Hungarian Peoples

british Vote Affects
Stock Prices More
Than Coal Crisis
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-Stock
traders paid more attention to the
British election this week than the
domestic coal strike.
The strike, at worst, inspired a
high degree of caution. Investors
and SPECTATORS were unwilling to
take a decisive stand until they
had chance to see how bad the
effects of the strike might be.
The British election, on the
other hand, was credited with
sparkling the liveliest rise the mar
ket had during the week. Traders
were pleased with the showing of
the Conservative Party.
Loss Small So Far.
Ability OF the market to hold it's
ground in the face of the strike
was based on several factors. For
one thing, financial loss to most
industries-With the major excep-
ton of some railroads-has been
small thus far. Next week the
picture will change drastically If
the strike continues.
The market, however, has con-
slstently registered the view that
the strike would be ended before
the economy was seriously dam
aged.
Another consideration was the
belief that even if the strike should
continue for any length of time a
nigh level of industrial activity
would be merely postponed. Strikes
don't last forever, it was reasoned.
and the coal strike will be settled
sooner or later, Industrial earning
power might be temporarily cut.
out the loss would be regained
eventually.
/ inertia also played part in the
markets behavior. A good many

institutional and big-money brack-
ets. take a position in the market

SANITY CITY
SPORTS
BY Jimmy Griffin

In the past two years, since the
city schools have inaugurated the
Citywide Public Grade School
Basketball tournament, the influ-
ence of the Halle Q. Brown COM
munity house and the ODER Boys
club can be plainly seen. Last
year, Maxfield Grade School won
the title and this year Mckinley
grade school won.
Neither of these schools have
gymnasiums, but the boys of
these schools have the use of the
Halle and ODER floors, and this
has resulted in producing boy
champions from our neighborhood.
Monte Irwin, Negro outfielder
for the New York Giants, has
been returned to Jersey City. Ru-
fus Lewis has been returned to
the Houston Eagles after having
been given the once over by st.
Paul.
So far no one has bought Satch-
ell Paige's contract. 1t was ru-
mored that Portland, Ore. was in
terested. The majors will start
the season this year with 10 race
players.
Carl Maxey, Negro law student
at Gonzaga, Spokane, Wash, won
the NCAA 175-pound crown by
defeating Chuck Speiser of Mich
igan state, who was the favorite.
Speiser defeated Bill McMoore of
Minnesota twice this season.
However, these losses were the
only ones McMoore had this sea-
son.
With the close of this basketball
season, race players have just
witnessed their greatest season
on the hardwoods. At one time
coaches frowned on Negro players.
but now they are clamoring for
them.
Boston Brave outfielder Sammy
Jethroe's failure to hit on the
grapefruit circuit has the Braves
management worried.
This year, N.A.I.B. champions,
the N. c. A. A. champs and the
N. I. T. champs all had Negro
players on their teams; also. the
Oakland Blue and Colds runners
up in the National A. A. U. So,
1t seems If you want to go places
in basketball you must have a
race player on the team.
