MILLIONS EGGS
, WASTED YEARLY
$200,000,000 Worth of Hen Fruit Goes
to Waste Every Twelve Months,
Say Government Experts.
« -- -
WASHINGTON, April 7.—Two hun
dred million dollars worth of eggs
wasted every year! This is the start
ling estimate of the Department of
' ! Agriculture today after a careful in
/ vestigation of this phase of the high
/ cost of living. Of this vast amount.
J fifty million is attributed to needless
r' breakage in transit, and the remain
- der to bad handling, which causes
addling, spoiling and deterioration.
Two hundred million dollars worth of
eggs practically thrown away a year
—■ or else tit only for strong palates, j
for tanning, or to swell those unpleas j
ant monuments of American waste- ]
the garbage heaps. Uncle Sam is do -
ing his lesel best just now to teach
people how to secure more and bet
ter eggs, and how to properly pack,
grade and candle them. The first task
is undertaken through ihe bureau of
y'' animal i industry, the second through
demons/lration cars sent into Ihe vast
corn belt. Uncle Sant has decided
that cold and cleanliness are the best
means to preserve eggs. Likewise
be isi putting in a boost for the lit
tle g.i-ay hen. He says “use her right,
feed Iter right and she will repay.”

for Passage This Month

FIGHT
Promoters Stand to Lose Small-sized
Mint if Crowds Do Not Attend
Moran-Johnson Scrap.
PARIS, April 7. It is now a cer
tainty that the heavyweight "cham
pionship” fight, between Frank Moran
the Pittsburg white hope and Jack
Johnson will be pulled off here on
a. Sunday, the day of the Grand
Prix at Longcamp’s in June.
Dan McKetrick, foxy manager of
Moran, has everything to gain by
picking this, or a similar day, for the
match. Johnson is guaranteed $35,
000 win, lose or draw, $30,000 to be
paid his white wife on the day of the
fight and $5,000 in $1,000 installments
for five weeks prior to the tight. Roth
and Maitrol, under whose direction
the fight is to be held, also have a
guarantee of $5,000 with a prospective
share in the gate receipts. Moran
will get a like settlement, therefore
the box office will have to take in
at least $45,000 before Danny comes
in for a nickel. Over that amount
he, Moran and the fight managers
will share, but fights so far in Paris
have never yielded anything like this
sum.
McKetrick figures this will be the
biggest fight France has ever seen,
consequently bigger admission will be
charged. The battle probably will
take place at Parc de Princes, a big
athletic field, bicycle track and favor
ite drilling ground, -or some other
place in order to keep all the money
which may be offered a_t the gate.
However, Moran- Is an unknown here
and Johnson about as popular as the
measles; so somebody stands to lose
unless the international sporting men '
here to see the Grand Prix decide to
go in strong for la boxe.
