When Cooking Eggs
Apply Heat Gently
Low heat is the rule in cooking
eggs Decause eggs are a protein
lood. High temperatures harden
most proteins. Moderate heat keeps
them tender. This fundamenta.
principle of cookery, say specialists
of the Bureau of Home Economics,
applies to eggs, meats,'cheese, and
fish. They say never actually boil
an egg, but "soft-cook” or “hard-
cook it, with water at the simmer
ing point. Scramble eggs in a
double iboiler, instead of directly
over a flame.
Poached or “dropped” eggs are
slipped into lightly salted boiling
water which c-eols a little as ‘each
egg goes in, and is kept just under
the boiling point until they are
“set” sufficiently to lift out. Fried
eggs never will be leathery or have
hard edges if cooked in a covered
])an with a small ampunt of mod
erately hot fat. The cover helps the
enclosed steam to coat the yolk
delicately with the white. Omelets,
whether flat or fluffy, require slow
cooking at low heat, with enough
fat to keep them from sticking to
the pan.
In custards, eggs thicken the
sweetened milk when the mixture
is carefully cooked. Soft custard is
stirred in a double boiler with the
water just below boiling. It must
be removed from the heat as soon
as it begins to thicken or it will
curdle. A baked custard is not
stirred, ibut is se-t in a pan of
water in the oven and cook
ed at low heat. A souffle also
needs .a very moderate oven, and
will not fall if slowly baked in this
way. Sponge cakes and angel food,
because they contain so many eggs,
require a moderate or low oven.

Develop Strong Bee
Colonies in Spring
A bee colony that grows strong
and healthy in the slicing will be
in a good position to gather large
quantities of honey when the
flowers and trees pijt forth their
blossoms.
To insure the development of a
strong colony, C. L. Sams., exten
sion apiarist at State college, urges
beekeepers to examine their colon
ies on a warm day in early spring.
The colony should 'have a good
queen, an abundance of food, plenty
of brood comb, and a large force
of workers. It should also be free
from disease.
If the colony has less than 15
pounds of stores, it should .be fed
with honey taken from a healthy
hive that has a surplus or with a
syrup made from ‘equal parts of
water and sugar.
The condition of the queen may
be determined by examining a few
combs of .brood. Brood from a
good queen 'will be in solid patches,
with very few, if any, cells left
vacant, Sams pointed out.

“SELLS FOR LESS”
FLOODS .... everywhere
It almost seems as if there
wasn’t a river east of the ^lissis-
sipi>i that didn’t go on a rampage
in the past two or three weeks.
Such puny efforts as man has made
to keep the waters under control
seems rather ridiculous.
Naturally, 1 have been thinking
of floods I have seen. In 1889,
when the ice coming down the
Potomac made a dam out of the
railroad bridge at Washington, all
the lower part of the city was
flooded. My brother and 1 got hold
of .a boat and rowed up and down
Pennsylvania Avenue, from the
Treasury to the foot of Capitol
Hill, in and out of hotels and rail
road stations.
I have seen the Mississippi river
65 feet above normal at St. Louis,
the Ohio at Cincinnati up to the
third story of buildings on the
streets along the river. I saw all
South Florida under water in the
winter of 1925-26. I have seen our
New York and New England rivers
in flood so often that I have come
to expect it every year or two.
CONTROL Arthur Morgan
The most effective job of flood
control that I know anything about
was done in the Miami River basin
in Ohio, .after the disastrous flood
tha? began on Easter Sunday, 1913.
I’ve never seen it rain so 'hard for
so long, even in Florida, as it rain
ed all over Ohio, Indiana and Il
linois that day.
The state of Ohio and the cities
and counties in the Miami Valley
determined there should be .no more
floods in that part of Ohio. The
man who engineered that job was
Dr. Arthur E. Morgan, now head
of" the Tennessee Valley Authority,
which is, among other things, a
flood-control project.
Turn a do'zen Arthur Morgans
loose on the nation's flood problem,
give them a free hand and a few
billion dollars and the flood men-
ance could be removed in a few
years.
REBUILDING , the blessing
One effect of the floods in the
thickly-settled East is bound to be
an immense amount O'f reibuilding.
Bridges and dams will have to be
replaced, factories and other build
ings repaired or replaced. It will
take countless millions of dollars
to set things to right. Steel and
concrete will be used where wood
answered before. I hat will make
more business and employment for
the “heavy” industries, and na
turally a lot of work for artisans
in all the construction and building
tr^cics.
This will be real employment, on
work that m'ust be done and that is
better for everybody concerned
than “made” work. It seems to me
that the floods may turn out to
have been a blessing in disguise, by
taking up a lot of the slack in in
dustrial employment.
BRIDGES .... the doctor
The old-fashioned covered bridge,
of which quite a number survive in
the East, have always fascinated
The early settlers “housed in’
their wooden bridges to keep the
roadway free from snow and ice.
It didn’t matter so much if a horse
or wagon slipped sideways off the
highway, but a loaded wagon on a
slippery bridge could ‘easily go
through the guardrail into the river.
One of my boyhood memo'ries is
of a flood that washed ,away the
flooring and superstructure of an
old covered bridge near my home.
Our village doctor had been &ent
for on an emergency call, across
the river, but cotild not set out
until long after dark. He saddled
his horse and rode off through the
rain. Not until after he had crossed
the river did be learn that the
bridge was “out.”
A miracle? No, just an accident.
The sure-footed horse happened to
hit one of the 18-inch “stringers”
that were all that was left of the
bridge, and walked across in tbe
dark like a tight-rope performer!
FIRE wet hay
I am watching now for reports
of fires in barns, along the river
valleys where the flood water has
gone down. They always follow
when hay in the barn has been
thoroughly soaked, unless it is
spread and given a chance to dry
out.
Spontaneous combustion from the
heat generated by damp hay in the
bottom of the mow started scores
of barn fires in no^rthern New Eng
land after the last big flood we
had, nine years ago. Not all of the
fires were siiontaneous, either, an
insurance man told me, though
proof to the contrary wa« hard to
establish. Few companies write
flood insurance policies, and few
farmers would pay for them, any
way. But they all carry fire in
surance.
Some day, in a more perfect
world, perhaps we will all live in
houses as fireproof as were the
caves of our ancestors, and to build
a barn of wood will be a jail of-
fens'C.

Teachers College Delays
Opening Special Term
LATE
CULLOWHEE, March 30.—
Western Carolina Teachers college
has postponed the ibeginning of the
special six weeks of the spring
quarter from Tiiesday, April 21, to
^Monday, April 27.
The reason for the postponment
is that so many of the schools have
had to be prolonged on account of
delays due to the bad weather of j
the wiJiter. The plan is to run six
days a week instead of the usual
five days. In this way the same
amount of time can be covered.
This was done after the college
was almost overwhelmed with re
quests for permission to enter late.
These requests have come from all
over Western North Carolina.
Without the change it would have
been impossible to have admitted
these individual.s., together with
many others.
By running six days a week and
postponing the date, students may
enter as late as May 1 and then
meet the requirements of a regular
summer term.
The instructors for tlie sjiecial
term will be Misses Sudie Cox,
Nell Hinds and Winona Hoo'per,
and K. L. Wood.
About thirty-four courses will be
offered and Dean W. E. Bird
makes the comment that the col
lege is thus offering the greatest
and best special six weeks that it
has ever offered.
