The question of decreasing the break age of eggs in shipment to the markets should not trouble the Government, ac cording to Clarence J. Voorhorst. a pharmacist of Portland, who holds the patent on an invention for shipping eggs. "The trouble with the present meth ods of egg shipping Is that the eggs are allowed too much freedom in the case and the strain comes on the sides of the egg," said Mr. Voorhorst in speaking of his carrier. "Every one has tried the old 'stunt' of breaking an egg by squeezing the ends between the palms of tha hands. Few times Indeed can the egg be broken. My holder takes that into con sideration and the strain comes upon the ends of the egg while packed. In case one does "break, it does not affect the packing of the other and further breakage because of the breaking of the first one does not follow." The new carrier consists essentially of pressed mats which are the exact shape of the eggs. They are made or stiff cardboard and can be padded with some softer material If necessary. Mr. Voorhorst has had the Invention for several years, but has never at tempted to market it. When he first had it perfected he-was offered $10,000 for a half Interest in it. At present, agitation over the shipment has again brought him offers. Some Aberdeen, Wash., men are negotiating at present for the manufacture of the device at a fancy price.
