Washington ❖ State College. •> »J« •*« »J« •*« »*• »*« »*• »'« In the spring and early summer good eggs are plentiful and compara tively cheap.. Any other time eggs are approached with a certain degree of suspicion. Most folks like eggs, whether fried, boiled, scrambled or otherwise prepared, but they want them "in season" all times of the year. Wholesome eggs can be had the year round by practicing reasonable thrift at the time they are plentiful and cheap. Estimate the require ments of the family for the next 10 months and help beat the high cost of living by packing down a liberal supply. Preserve them by storing in a so lution of waterglass. Cold storage eggs are not necessarily of poor qual ity; they are often much more whole some when properly stored than "fresh country" eggs, so-called, when these are kept in unsanitary condi tions. A home cold storage plant is impractical; a home-preserving meth od is within the reach of every fam ily in the state. Tells How to Do It. Prepare the solution by adding one part of waterglass to 10 parts of water. The waterglass can be pur chased from the local drug store. The water should be boiled, then cooled, before adding the waterglass. A five-gallon vessel will hold about sixteen dozen eggs. Use either wood en or earthenware vessels. A small pickle or olive barrel can usually be purchased from your local grocery man. Cleanse, air and scald it thor oughly before using. Select the eggs so that no cracked or very thin-shelled, easily broken eggs will be packed. Don't wash them. Soiled eggs may be improved by means of a slightly moistened cloth, used very lightly; fresh eggs are coated with a natural protection against evaporation, which should not be removed by washing. Buy in fertile eggs, if possible. Poultrymen should separate the male birds from their flocks as soon as the hatching season is over. Infertile eggs keep better than fertile eggs. Store the preserved eggs in a cool place where they will not be exposed to sunlight. Keep them covered, otherwise the water will evaporate, the solution will become too concen trated, and the top layer of eggs may be exposed to the air. Best First Six Months. Eggs preserved in this way arfl at their best during the first six months. Gradually the whites become thinner and more difficult to separate from the yolks. Their food value is not impaired but they may be used best for boiling, making omelets, custards and for other general cookery. If they are to be boiled prick a hole In the shell to keep them from cracking. Methods not to use are, packing in bran, ground oats or other dry mate rial. These substances become musty and impart their odors to the eggs. Strictly fresh eggs only should be used. Many housewives have been disappointed in preserving eggs be cause they used partially stale eggs. Candle every one before putting it in the solution. If it shows an air space larger than a dime, or if it shows dis colorations, it should not be packed. One stale egg, if it becomes broken, may spoil the whole batch. GERARD SAYS WAR WILL NOT END SOON FORMER AMBASSADOR SEES NO POSSIBILITY OF GERMAN* REVOLUTION. "This country has suffered very much from clinging to ridiculous and antiquated ideas about war. "There is danger now of an other delusion and that is that the war is soon to bo over. Don't believe that. It is going to be a long war. "The Germans are not going to be beaten by an internal revolu tion. They are not going to be beaten because they need food. "If we had not entered this war on the side of the Allies, we would have been forced single handed to fight the Germans at the end of the war." These are some of the striking sen tences in an address delivered in New York the other day by James W. Ger ard, former United States ambassador to Germany, the man who was "on the ground" in Berlin for 33 months of the European war, until the United States formally recognized the attacks upon it as constituting a state of war, and called him home. Mr. Gerard's speech waß delivered just prior to the enactment of the se lective draft army bill and in refer ring to it, the former ambassador de clared the greatest moral blow which Germany could suffer would be to receive the news that the United States had adopted compulsory mil itary service. Revolution a Delusion. Superior strength alone could de feat Germany, he said, adding that the belief that, starvation or a revolu tion would overthrow tho Hohenzol lerns was a delusion. He expressed the opinion that the entrance of the United States with all her strength into the war would greatly shorten it. Had the pacifists succeeded in keep ing this country out of war, they would have caused the nation to be crushed by Germany later before a world which would enjoy the spec tacle, Mr. Gerard said. If those who oppose conscription had succeeded, he said, their success would have result ed in greatly lengthening the war. He was unsparing in his ridicule of pacif ists. "This country has suffered very much from clinging to ridiculous and antiquated ideas about war," Mr. Ger ard said. "None has been more harmful than the idea that all this country needs to defend itself is plen ty of men with rifles. Rifles play rather a small part today in war, which is carried on largely by ma chines, some of which are so complex and difficult to operate that a man must be trained for a year or more before he is fit to handle them. "Going to Be a Long War." "There is danger now of another delusion, and that is that the war is soon to be over. Don't believe that. It is going to be a long war. The greatest blow that we can strike right now is to adopt the scheme of selective conscription which President Wilson is advocating. There could be no better stroke for a quick ending or the war than the knowledge in Ger many that we have adopted compul sory military service, and that we are in the war in earnest, and with all our power and resources. "The Germans are not going to be beaten by an internal revolution. They ace not going to be beaten be cause they need fqod. They can get along, though with difficulty, with the food which they have. They need to hold out till about July 15, when the new crop will come to their relief. The Germans rely largely on rye, and that crop is ready at about that date. It will be a very severe trial for them, but they are the kind of people who can do it. As to the possibility of a German revolution, we might as well put that aside. The Germans are not the kind of people to indulge in revo lutions. "If we had not entered this war on the side of the allies, we would have been forced single-handed to fight the Germans at the end of this war, and the rest of the world would have looked on with something like ap plause, because we had failed to do our part in the war for civilization.": Rainier Veteran Helps Food Cam paign. Unable to serve in qnother war, but desiring to do all he can for his country in the new crisis, O. F. Burke, a veteran of the Civil war, re siding at Rainier, ha 3 plowed up his lawn and is planting every nook and corner of his little farm to staple foods. Potatoes will be the specialty of Mr. Burke, who has developed a drought-resisting potato from seed secured in the East several years ago. He has on hand seven tons of pota toes he raised last year, scarcely one of which, he says, will weigh less than a pound, the weight ranging up to two and a half pounds. On one acre of ground, with only half a stand, he harvested eight tons of the big tubers. By planting his farm to his big pota toes and filling in with peas and beans, Mr. Burke feels that he will be able to make an appreciable show ing for his country. Flag Raising at Tenino Mill. Flag raising ceremonies were held Thursday evening of last week at the Mutual Lumber company's mill in Tenino. A flag was run up on a 97- foot flagpole. The home guards or Tenino participated in the ceremony. The home guards Monday night par ticipated in a flag raising ceremony at the home of T. H. McLafferty, where a 40-foot pole had been placed.

Official announcement that the first half million men of the nation's new army would be called to thft colors about September 1. was made by the war department this week fol lowing the passage by both the sen ate and house of the selective draft army bill. Should the war last another year, two out of every five of America's able-bodied young men will be called out. The war machine will begin formation in embryo, with voluntary registration of men who are eligible. Slackers will be gone after later. To Be Drawn by Lot. Of the more than 7,000,000 who will register, between 600,000 and 1 800,000 will be drawn by some lot tery method, probably the Jury wheel system, at once. After physical, In , dustrial and other exemptions are [allowed, it is expected that 500,000 Will remain. These will be placed immediately in training. Equipment is expected to be ready for them at once. Estimates made by army men in dicate that there are 120,000 men between the ages of 19 and 25 in the state of Washington subjeot to the draft, and that, on the accepted basis that about 40 per cent of those available will bo eliminated becauM of physical defects, there would be 72,000 physically fit, able-bodied men qualified as to age, from among whom the state's quota would b« drawn. About 28,000 of these, it is estimated will come from Seattle. Nine thousand men in this state will be drafted for the first half mill ion contingent of the new army, ac cording to estimates given out by the war department. In addition to this there must be 6,750 volunteors to ! meet Its quota in filling up the regu lar army and national guard, a total for Washington of 15,750. If the men don't volunteer there will be drafts also for the regular army and guard. Only a Few First Year. "Only a small number of this total will be called during the first year," Adjutant General Thompson of the Washington National Guard said, in verifying the figures. "Under the provisions of the bill, as I under stand it, the government proposes to increase by voluntary enlistment the total strength of the regular army and national guard to full war maxi mum. This should give the country 750,000 fighting men, trained and practically ready to take the field with a short period of training. Be sides this number, the plan is to raise 500,000 men annually by the select ive conscription plan. This army, naturally will require considerable training and will not be ready for immediate service. Its immediate creation, however, is imperative. "While it is impossible even to estimate the percentage of the total eligible men that will be drawn from this city and state, I am certain It will be very small. The second and third years may draw more heavily on the total, as the conscription and elimination of men beyond the max imum ago will draw from the total faster than the number approaching conßcrlptible age will add to it."
