GOOD WORD ON EGGS If you like eggs fried, scrambled, r Easter this may interest you. The high price of eggs will soon come tumbling down. This Humpty-Dumptevent will be brought about by the sale of five million cases of government eggs. War Food administration, responding to the prodding of critics, admits that it was putting too many eggs in e one basket, for military and .W .iw around in this bathroom.

Release of this tremendous quantity of eggs won't alarm the housewife, but worries War Food experts because it might discourage production for next year. Meantime, War Food and OPA are rowing over the price to be paid for these five million cans of cold storage eggs. WFA officials, protecting the producers, want a higher price for cold storage eggs than fresh eggs. OPA, thinking of the housewife, says: "This is the first time we ever heard that eggs become more valu able as they get older!" But War Food stands firm on the principle that the old eggs should bring more money. Their reason is that the old eggs were stored by dealers who were playing the usual seasonal game of holding for a rise in price, without realizing that the government was going to step in and take over at the fixed price. In other words. War Food experts are trying to hand dealers some of the speculative profit they might have gotten, while OPA trying to protect the consumer wants to hold the price down. The Inside government egg debate is still raging. . irifl.il Repatriated from prison camps in Germany, wounded American fighters are shown as they reached Allied soil at Leith, Scotland.

Coastguardsmen's Wives Keep House in Pacific Which of these lettert did your soldier get? By KATHLEEN N ORRIS SOLDIER stationed in Guadalcanal sent me a letter from his wife this week. Another soldier, .this one now in Sicily, also sent me a letter from his wife. The first man merely wrote the largely on the margin of cerletter, "My gosh, this is e to fight tainly a swell for!" The other soldier's note said: "Of course every one can't have a wife like Margaret. But I'm tosending show you a typical letter you what we like, to get, out here in hell.

In August, Uiey were all ready to go to press with millions of coupon books. Finally, however, the coal nator vetoed the plan. Now it is too late to impose coupon rationing partly because there is not sufficient time to print the coupons and give out instructions to local boards; also because some coal is already sup posed to be distributed inequitably to consumers. Thus we shall have to rely on "dealer rationing." This does not limit consumption only strings out the supply in driblets, making greater delivery task without de creasing consumption. The public believes that oil is bountiful compared with coal, and OPA is now besieged with applies tions for reconversion from coal to oil. These applications are being re sisted, since the impression of abun dance of oil is merely an illusion. co-or- hangs still. It's America in August and Lord, Lord, Lord, what a good place to be!
