"Don't lay the high cost ot eggs to , the roultry man, but instead put it on . irit. hn " cave 5 p Munann. nresi- I I'enl ot the Omaha Poultry associa ihhi v im takes issue with Omaha housewives for declaring a boycott on fRi?s "The hens are responsible (or the Inirh cost of eKUs." he said. "They are laving larger and better eggs right ; along and naturally these eggs are worth more money. 'Some years ago a dozen eggs would not weigh over twenty-four ounces: now the average dozen v e gh thirty ounces or upward." Egjs Prove Stable. If Omaha housewives purchased their eggs by weight." said Mr. Mun son, 'they would easily see that eggs have not advanced in' price near as rapidly as other foods." While Mr. Munson was careful not to make any threats against the housewives. He asserted that if the boycott becomes very effective and long-lasting, many members of his association will sell their chickens. "1 lien Omaha housewives would really have to pay high prices for strictly I rr sh eggs," he added. He said members of the organiza tion would probably organize closer to protect themselves against the boycott. "A tie up in the egg purchasing of Omaha housewives would seriously affeci ns," said Mr. Munson. "and cause many poultry raisers to go out of business. While we do not think the boycott is directly aimed at us, we will he the ones to suffer, instead of the commission and cold storage houses." ' Chickeni 8carce. Other reasons advanced by Mr. Munson for the increased cost of eggs were that farmers had raised very few chickens as they found it more profit able to sell the feed and that there was very little demand for chickens, because of prevailing high prices. "Fresh eggs are scarce enough now," added Mr. Munson, "but if the boycott becomes very affective, and all our members tell their chickens there will not be enough fresh eggs on hand in the spring for hatching. .The result would be disastrous for the poultry raisers." Not in Favor of Forcing ; - Suffrage on the States Jay William Hudson, professor in the University of Missouri, who lec tured Friday afternoon at the Fon tenelle before the Society of Fine Arts was cornered after the lecture by a group of suffragists, among 1 whom were Mrs. J. M. Metcalf and Mrs. C. E, Johannes, who asked him as to his views on suffrage. The women threw up their hands in hor ror when he said he was not In favor of the federal amendment, as he did not believe in forcing it on some of the states, especially those of the south, , ... "The idea that women will lose any of their 'refinement by the. vote, is ab surd," said Dr. Hudson. "The fact that my daughter accompanies me to the polls, where I spend a half hour out of every year, does not mean that she will be any the less womanly be cause of it." Prof. Hudson's lecture dealt with "Social Unrest and Its Ethical Sir nificance"and was conceded to be by tar the best so far on the year s pro gram, in spite of the fact that Mr. Hudson professed no knowledge of lecturing as well as' art.1 'Hrs'hippv relationship with his audience and his strong optimism won him instantane ous tavor. The favorite solution for social un rest, namely that it is due to imper fect political machinery and distress, ng economic conditions, did not inv press Dr. Hudson, who said that never in the history of civilization have political and economic condi tions been belter and that it was ridic ulous, since it could not account for the apparent unreat in every branch oi inc.

Both women immediately broke into a run as did the Mexican, and they might all be in flight yet if it hadn't been for the appearance of Officer Joe Baughman. Ilaughman, who was on his way to the central station, took up the chase and was hot on the Mexican's heels when the two women reached their apartment. He followed Pancho into a basement apartment occupied by Mrs. Charles Mack and there over powered him after a brief but pitched battle.

The reason so many teeth are never thoroughly clean, no matter how much they are brushed and scrubbed, Is the presence of transparent Blma, or "placques," so called, which adhere to the tooth sur face, and which become dlsoolored by dirt, decayed food, nicotine or .other thtnss. Those Alms are really thin layers of fat which accounts for that slippery feeling when touched with the tongue and ordi nary dontlfriees do not penetrate them.
