THE SUNIAY OEEGOyiAX, PORTLAND, APRIU 11, 1915. 21 iJw..4r.P52 Klnr Albert's Book, by various distinguished writers. Cloth. 1.50, and full leather, 5. Illustrated. Heartt'a International Library Co., New York City. Quite an important publication and one of the banner books of the year. Exquialtely illustrated and clearly printed, this book of 1S8 pages con tains loving greetings in prose, poetry and music from 239 of most distin guished men and women of the world, who have united in collaboration upon a. book of tribute to King Albert of Belgium and the Belgian people an offering which has well been named "King Albert's Book." It is stated that all proceeds from the sale of the book in this country and abroad will be sent to King Albert for the Belgian re lief fund. Many of these written messages arouse one to cheers, and the sublim ity of others cause dim vision. The only disappointing and non-inspiring message is that, unfortunately from the great Rudyard Kipling, a poem entitled. "The Outlaws." It is copy . righted. It is unworthy of Kipling's genius and the man wno once wrote the "Recessional." This splendidly written appreciation Is entitled "Reveille." by John Gals worthy, the famous English dramatist, novelist and essayist: In my dream I saw a fertile plain, rich with the hues of Autumn. Tranquil It was. and warm. Men and women, children and the beasts worked and played and wandered there in peace. . . . While I mused on this the sky began to darken. A muttering of distant winds and waters came traveling. The chil dren stopped their play, the beasts raised Uieir heads; men and women halted and cried to each other: "The river the river Is rising! If it floods we are lost! Our beasts win drown; we. even we. shall drown! The river!" And women stood like things of stone, listening; and men buook meir fists at the black sky and at that trav eling mutter of the winds and uaters and the beasts sniffed at the darkening mil Then, clear. I heard a voice call: "Brothers! The dyke is breaking! The river comes! Link arms, brothers; with the dyke of our bodies we will save our home! Bisters, behind us. link arms! Close In the crevices, children! The river." And all that multitude whom I had seen treading quietly the grass and fallen leaves with prosper ous feet, came hurrying, their eyes no longer fixed on the rich plain, but lifted in trouble and defiance, star ing at that rushing blackness. And the Voice called: "Hasten brothers! The dyke is broken! The river floods." And they answered: "Brother, we come." Thousands and thousands they pressed, shoulder to shoulder men, women and children, and the beasts lying down behind, till the living dyke was formed. And that blackness came on. nearer, nearer, till, like the whites of glaring eyes, the wave crests glinted in the dark rushing flood. And the sound of the raging waters was as a rosr from a million harsh mouths. But the Voice called: "Hold, brothers, hold!" And from the living dyke came an swer: "Brother, we hold." Then the sky blackened to night And the terrible dark water broke on that dyke of life: and from all the thin living wall rose such cry of struggle as never was heard. But above it ever the Voice called: "Hold! My brave ones, hold!" And ever the answer came from those drowning mouths, of men and women, of little children and the very beasts: "Brother, we bold!" But the black flood rolled over and on. There, down In Its dark tumult, beneath its cruel tumult, I saw men still with arms linked; women on their knees, cling to earth: little children drifting dead, all dead; and the beasts dead. And their eyes were still open facing that earth. And above them the savage water roared. But clear and high I beard the Voice call: "Brothers! Hold! Death is not! We live!" And. fronting the edge of the flooding waters. I saw the shadea of those dead, with arms yet linked, and heard them crying: "Brother! We hold!" . . . Then came oblivion. Then once more I dreamed it was light. The plain was free of darkness, free ot waters. The river, shrunk and muddied; flowed again within its banks. And dawn was breaking; but the stars were still alight. At first it seemed to me that only trees stood on that plain; but then, in the ground mist fast clearing I saw the forms of men and women, children, beasts; and I moved among them, look ing at their faces not those broad and prosperous faces whose eyes were banded with invisibility, but grave with suffering, carved and strong. And all their eyes, lifted to the sky, were shining. While I stood thus watching the sun rose and heaven brightened to full morning. And, amazed, I saw that the stars had not gone in. but shone there In the blue, crystals of Immortality. And above the plain, clad in the hues of Spring, I heard the Voice call: "Brothers! Behold! The stars are lit forever!" By Mawrice Hewlett, English novel let and poet: O men of mickle heart and little speech. Blow, stubborn countrymen of heath and plain. Now have ye shown these insolent again That which to Caesar's legions ye could teach. That Blow-provok'd is long-provok'd. May each Crass Caesar learn this of the Keltic grain. Until at last they reckon it In vain To browbeat us who hold the Western reach. For even as you are, we are. ill to rouse. Rooted in custom, order, church and King; And as you fight for their sake so shall we. Doggedly inch by inch, and house by house; Feeing for us too there's a dearer thing Than land or blood and that thing liberty. Bv Sarah Bernhardt: Long live King Albert! Spotless hero! Martyr to his plighted faith! He went forth, followed by all his little people the' little people that are so great to meet the innumerable hosts of the Barbarians. Refusing all gifts, rejecting all promises, dauntless in the face of threats, for days and nights he held the German freebooters in check. Never will. France forget her debt of grati tude! But the hour of triumph ap proaches; and Victory, who holds the scales of Justice in her glorious hands, will give King Albert and his valiant people a large share of German ter ritory. Thus Germans under the rule of Bel srlura will at last learn something ef honor and humanity. By Sir Oliver Lodge: . The world Is the richer for the ex perience of the past few months, and Belgium has inscribed its name on an eternal roll of honor the roll of those who have died In holding a pass against overwhelming odds.

The Principles of Fmlt Growing, by I H. Bailey. 1.75. Illustrated. The Macltil lan Co., New York City. There are thousands of people who have heard the call to go back to the soil and even a living by growing fruit. Often, such people have the money to buy fruit land, but know nothing of the principles of fruit growing, the care of the soil, of the doctrine that the fruit soil requires fertilizers to keep it healthy-fer- tilizers that produce the necessary anrounts of life-giving nitrogen, phos phoric acid and potash. What, then, is the would-be pur chaser of fruit land to do? Buy, read and digest this friend In printer's ink, the 20th edition, com--pletely revised of Mr. Bailey's "The Principles of Fruit Growing, With Ap plications to Practice." It is a cor rect, accepted authority, both for would-be fruitgrowers and for those already in the business. "In the years since the book first appeared much new knowledge has come to the aid of the fruitgrower," writes Mr. Bailey. "The advanced opinions of 4hat day on the merits of tillage over hay and sod, have now been affirmed by experience and ex periments, although the sod-mulch method has proved itself under certain circumstances. The many investiga tions of insects and fungi and the means of attacking them, have resulted in a new literature and more certain means of control. We are beginning a new line of approach to the difficult prob- em of protection from frost. We have more rational recommendations to make on the fertilizing of fruit lands. We are beginning in many ways to adopt practices of caring for the plants, to the better understood physiology ot the plants themselves. The older and traditional opinions and notions are gradually giving way to the results of careful investigation." There are 10 chapters: The field of inquiry, the location and Its climate, the tillage of fruit lands, the enrich ing of fruit lands, the plants and the planting, the laying out of the planta tion, subsequent care of the fruit plantation, accidents and injuries, the spraying of fruit plantations and har vesting and marketing the fruit.

' - The War Book of the German General Staff, n y j. n. orBu. . Co., New York City. War, as conducted by General Grant and General Lee in this country from 1861 to 1865, was far more humane and on a different basis than what our author says Is advised by the Ger man General Staff in our own era. This little book of 199 pages is writ ten by. a young Englishman, who Is a professor of constitutional law at Uni versity College, London, and a late scholar of Balliol College, Oxford. It is stated that the text of our author's book is "a literal and integral transla tion of the 'Kriegsbranch im Land ruege,' issued and reissued by the Ger man General Staff for the Instructors of German officers. It is the most authoritative work of its kind in Ger many, and takes precedence over all other publications whether military or legal, alike over the works of Bern hardt, the soldier, and of Holtzendorff, the jurist The Hague conventions are treated by the authors as little more than mere 'scraps of paper." The only laws recognized by the General Staff are the military usages laid down in the pages of the manual, resting upon a "calculating egotism" and injudicious form of reprisals." "In the German imagination the Temple of Janus is never closed. Peace is but a suspension of the state of war, instead of war being a rude interruption of a state of peace. The temperament of the German is saturat ed wtth this belligerent emotion, and every one who is not with him is against him.

This information concerning his identity is thoughtfully supplied by his enthusiastic publishers, who no doubt wish to recognize the genius who made bo many ducats and much glory come to hlro when he wrote, recently, "Henry of Navarre. Ohio." "Holworthy Hall is the nom-de-plume of Harold E. Porter, who is the gen eral manager of A. D. Porter & Co., publishers of "The Housewife." He is a graduate of Harvard, 1909. where he was President of the Lampoon and an editor of the Advocate. He wrote his first novel at the age of 8. he says, and it was a gory Civil War piece in which the hero was promoted every time he killed a Confederate.

He is a frequent contributor to the Saturday Evening Post McClure's and other publications. All his writing is done at night and during commuta. tion on trains. He is strictly an a ma. teur author, he deolarea," That last sentence is .a gem. A musie teacher spoke recently of his class of students as "Mr. Blanque's Amateurs," because, being amateurs, and not pro fessionals, the class could not be "roasted." Mr. Porter may have the same thought in mind. "Pepper"" is a novel of gladness, of everlasting youth, of humor and of un dergraduate life at Harvard Univer sity. Its hero is James Pepper Mc Henry, a young man of nerve, romance, dollars and "pep." Our author con fesses, unblushingly, that he wrote "Pepper" not "to turn the searchlight Ot puWieUX do the vsiversity, but. because an editor wanted some college stories and paid me a good price to write these." There are one dozen short stories In this book: "Pepper." "The Depth of Pepper McHenry." "McHenry and the Blue Ribbon," 'Reverse English," 'The Terrible Freshman," "The Traders," "The Ivory Hunters," "Putting It Over," "The Bromides,' "Social Serv ice,"' "Father Also Ran"' and "McHenry Weighs Anchor." The first story shows Pepper as a philanthropist Pepper observes a classmate. Phil Smith, trying to work his way through college by scribing, tutoring, etc. Smith is a great base ball player, but does not play ball at Harvard, because he does not have the necessary money to keep up with the ball devotees. Pepper thinks out an advertising scheme to bring money to Smith, and the trick is done. In "The Depth of Pepper McHenry" we read of the sudden desire of Pep per to be an athlete, a football player. He weighed 130 pounds, but in the strength test only "did" 540, too light for football. Suddenly Pepper was observed to train, to win the necessary 700 at the strength test He worked hard and. to everyone's amazement, won 702. His friends at once backed him for the position of quarterback on the sophomore team. By bluff and work on the football field and by se cret and difficult-to-detect "faking." Pepper emerged as a football hero. How did .a young man of his light physique perform the necessary trick? After ward, in a heart-to-heart talk with a young man cousin, from Dartmouth, Pepper confessed that he had "doc tored" the machine used in registering the back test, also the machine for the lung test Here Pepper is "Trick Pepper. The best tale in the book is the last one, "McHenry Weighs Anchor." Pep per, about to graduate, finds that he is about 1 600 in debt and that he must raise this money before he can grad uate. His father refuses to advance any money. So Pepper becomes a financier and makes S2000 in two months' time with a deal In collar but tons.

Mr. Weaver was formerly director of the Vocational Guidance and Indus trial Education Bureau of the Buffalo, N. T., Chamber of Commerce, and Mr. Byler is principal of the George Brooks School. Philadelphia, Pa. This book, well written and instruc tive, is what has been wanted for a long time. It deals with the weighty problem: What shall be done with the boy Immediately after he leaves school, when he must choose a trade or oc cupation? Docs it pay to trust to blind ehance, in such a matter? No. The time now is when the boy at school, as a prospective worker, may be enabled to choose his occupation wisely, to prepare thoroughly for it, and to advance himself rapidly. It is stated that the crowning work of an educational system will be vo cational guidance, and that one of the greatest handicaps to all classes today is that 90 per cent of the people have entered their present employment blindly and by chance, irrespective of their fitness or opportunities. This book shows what to do. It is one of good counsel for both teacher and parent METHODS DESCRIBED FOR PRESERVING EGGS Fresh, Infertile Product Declared Best, as Single Bad One Is Likely to Ruin All in Receptacle Dark, Dry, Cool Cellar Recommended. BY W. LUDWIO DURING the early Fall and Winter months the supply of fresh eggs is entirelv inadeauate to meet the demands, resulting in increased prices beyond the means of the ordinary household, while in the Spring and early Summer months there is usually an overproduction and overstocking ot eggs which are sold at reasonable prices within the reach of all. Usually this over-supply of eggs either reaches the cold storage for Winter trade or is packed or wasted. We are now enjoying the period of the year when the supply of eggs grows greater and the price is reduced. This ..nnHltfn ahIv nfctir. during- the SDrins and early Summer months. The economical nousewiie realizes that when fresh eggs are cheap it is her opportunity to preserve them for household purposes during such period of the year when eggs are both scarce and high priced. It is not necessary for the poultry men, farmers or customers to resort to cold storage, as that method is not always accessible. If an egg that has been in cold storage is candled it will be noticed that the air cell is larger, which indicates that the egg content has shrunk. This shrinkage is a re- - .ha .mnnrntiim of the fluid from the egg through the pores or small openings in tne sneu. -cssa v - iini,i o f hnmA hv the housewife can be kept for months and then when candled will snow no loss evaporation.

The first method suffers a serious drawback in requiring considerable time to properly paint the eggs with vaseline. A dis agreeable taste is sometimes imparted to the eggs treated with lime water, which renders this method unsafe. The best preservative yet discovered for preserving eggs for household purposes is the water-glass method. As there are two or three kinds of water glass, it is necessary that the buyer should have a distinct idea what he wants, as the local druggist may not know Just which is the best for preservative purposes.

Perfect preservation depends upon two factors the condition of the eggs when preserved and the method of pre serving. The fresher the eggs the better. Eggs should be from healthy stock which has been supplied with enough shell-forming material to In sure shells of fair and uniform thick ness. The nests should also be kept clean and well ventilated, so that the eggs do not become Infected while In them. The eggs should be gathered frequently to prevent any heating by broody hens, and should be kept in a dry, cool room away from the direct rays of the sun. Use only clean ones and preserve them the day they are laid.' Do not wash the eggs before packing, for doing so injures their keeping qualities, probably dissolving the mucilaginous coating which nature puts on the eggs to keep out the germs. Do not use dirty, old, cracked or thin shelled eggs. Cracks are readily de tected by gently tapping the eggs or candling them. Eggs a week old can be used, but it is advisable to use eggs laid the same day. Use perfectly fresh eggs, for eggs that have become stale cannot be kept under any con ditions and one stale egg may spoil the contents of the vessel. Only put good eggs in the liquid and the result will be that the eggs will be good when taken out. The best method of determining the condition of the egg is by the process of candling. Place the egg before a bright light and look through it to ward the light, which will enable one to detect nearly every fault Candling Apparatus Simple. A good candling apparatus can be made by using an ordinary box with a lamp placed inside. An opening made in a window curtain or a large funnel la sometimes used for this purpose. The main object of candling Is that a strong light shall fall on the egg op posite the operator's eyes. The eggs should be so held that the operator is looking down on the egg, as In this manner he can readily note the size of the air cell. The eggs are- usually held with the broad end up. as this is the end that usually contains the sir sell. As the operator places the egs before the light, the egg should be given a quick twist This motion will throw any foreign matter in the egg towards the shell, which can be easily detected. The housewife, by spending several minutes in candling the eggs, will soon learn and notice the cause for these conditions, besides it is often desirable to candle eggs, even if their quality is rated above suspicion. . It has been observed that when a oorbon electric light is used for can dling purposes a red tint is given to the egg. A still deeper red tint will be noticed when using an oil flame. A gas fishtail burner has an effect simi lar to that of an oil flame. The light usually does not penetrate the air cell, which is small in a fresh egg and makes it appear larger than the remainder of the egg. otherwise the egg appears perfectly homogenous ex cept for the spots in the shell. As the egg is twisted before the candle the yolk appears as a dim shadow floating across the line of vision, with an indis tinct dark spot accompanied with a re flection of light. This is the outer end of the cbalazae, which is sometimes taken for the meat spot However, the meat spot is darker and does not reflect any light The yolk in a fresh egg is suspended well up in the albu men end moves freely.. A dark yolk denotes heating. The membrane sur rounding the yolk should hold it up round and not show any signs of weakening to allow the yolk to flatten or to flow into the albumen. No cloudi ness nor color should appear in the al bumen of the fresh egg. The contents of the egg should have practically no odor exeept the slight odor ot lime which can usually be detected. It is preferable to use infertile eggs and thereby eliminate the possibilities for subsequent spoiling. The best place to locate the egg ves :-x -rsv Government Sinking of William P.

If the eggs are kept In too warm a place the silicate will be deposited and the eggs will not be properly protected. Stone Jars Recommended. Clean stone jars are the best recep tacles for holding the eggs. In some cases wooden barrels have been used, but they should be prepared carefully before using. Fill the wooden vessels with water and allow them to stand for several days, then empty and scald. Sometimes It is necessary to char the barrel inside and then thoroughly wash afterward. However, the preference seems to be for glass or stoneware ves sels. All water used for diluting the water glass should be boiled and allowed to cool, as this will kill all the germs that may be in it To each nine parts of water, add one part of water glass and stir until thoroughly mixed. Pack the eggs in the container with the small end down and pour the solution over them until they are completely sub merged. The eggs should be about two inches below the surface ot the liquid. It is a good plan to dip each egg sep arately in the solution and hold for a moment or two before placing the egg In the container, and before the solu tion is poured over them. When more eggs are to be placed In the container repeat the above operation and thus hermetically seal the egg, thus exclud ing all air and preventing evaporation. By tilting the container in a slanting position the first layers of eggs can be safely packed, when It can again be placed In its natural position. In plac ing the small end down there la less liability for the yolk to cling to the side of the shell, nor will the contents rest on the air cell and rupture the Inner shell membrane. In an egg that has been allowed to stand in one posi tion for some time the yolk will be found floating on the almuben near that portion of the shell which Is then uppermost If the egg Is turned the yolk will gradually return to the same relative position. This is caused by the lower speclfle gravity of the yolk as compared with the albumen. As the yolk is the first part of the egg to spoil It is advisable to keep It in the center equal distances from the shell, thus al lowing the albumen to prevent micro organisms from reaching the germ spot for once baoterla are In the yolk they are safe. Evaporation to Be Preveated. The receptacle should be covered to prevent evaporation. The preserving solution should not be used for more than one season. If the work Is care fully done the shrinkage in weight for a period of nine months should not be more than 1 per cent Fresh eggs may be added from time to time until the Jar la filled, besides eggs may be re moved at any time whenever occasion demands. According to Olsen the approximate number of eggs (average size and vol ume) they will hold together with the pints of water glass solution that will be required to cover the eggs is as follows: Will Water gins Size of container. hold rT,u,ir,?:,. 9 1 gallon 40eg(r S pints, 10 ouncee 2 gallon. 80 eggs t pint..

It has been found that the only part of the erg that has suffered a change through immersing In this solution is the outer shell, as larger quantities of silica is found in the shells ot the pre served eggs than In the shells of the unpreserved ones. The increase of silica In the form of sodium silicate found in the shell composition hermetic ally seals the shell and shuts out the air, eliminating the undesirable changes usually found in untreated eggs. Eggs preserved in water glass should be rinsed in warm water and wiped dry before they are used. Water glass Is non-poisonous and will pot injure the hands or clothes. Eggs preserved by this method win keep for a year. In one Instance eggs were preserved tor three years tn water glass without any undesirable altera tions. Eggs obtained during the months of April. May and June are the best for this purpose. Those put down In hot weather do not keep quite as well as those put down earlier in the season. Average Cest 91 for Galloa. The cost of preserving eggs by this method varies somewhat according to the cost of the water glass, though the average price is about II a gallon.
