Lays Eight Ounce Egg
LOS ANGELES, CALIF.— Sound Photo — “Mom when I got
back there s just one thing I want —j an honest-to-goodness egg that
comes in a shell, not powdered.” When Mrs. Louis Heitman read
that letter from her son in the Army, The Atom, the interesting
pullet shown above, must have been looking over her shoulder because
it layed an egg that weighed eight ounces and measured nine and
three-quarters inches. A normal egg weighs one and three-quarters
ounces. Her son will not be home for some time and Mrs. Heitman
will place the egg in cold storage and hope for the best.

TRANS-ATLANTIC
FORUM
What do YOU want to know
aoout Britain? Americans working
over here don't know all the ans
wers. but what they don't know
they will try to find out. Send
your questions to the American
Outpost. 13. Old Square. Lincoln's
Inn. London. W.C.I.
Have any of the internationally
known big hotels been bombed or
can we hope to stay again at the
places we knew before the war?
Ans.—Naturally a good many
hotels suffered some war damage.
However, to the best of ourknowl
, edge none of those concerning
which we have had inquiries have
been destroyed. Many were par
j tially requisioned for Government
! during the war, but are now being
gradually restored to normal oc
cupation.
What features of English life
would you most like to see trans
planted to the United States?
Ans.—This is a tough one! For
one thing we have never felt it is
fair to Americanize the British on
their home ground, and we are
not sure that it is fair to attempt
what might be considered Angli
cizing American on our home
ground. Also we are not quite sure
what our correspondent means by
the word “feature.”
However we shall make a stab
at answering this question by say
ing that we in America could do
with more of the gentleness of
manner which characterizes the
people of this country, and also
with more of the ability to discuss
questions dispassionately as they
are discussed in this country. It is
not to brand ourselves as discour
teous to say that we like British
courtesy; perhaps the chief dif
ference in our manners is that
I they take a little more time to be
I
| courteous than vve do and some
how the added moment that the
i unnecessary thank you do warm
! the heart. As for discussion, we
ourselves have been startled to
find it is possible to say frank
ly to an Englishman things for
1 which an American would knock
| you down—and what’s more, the '
British are quite likely to say
“Yes, of course, I can well under
stand your thinking that,” and
then proceed to destroy your ar
gument point by point with ruth
less and exasperating logic. Obvi
ously. there are a good many
times when we succeed in con
trolling our emotions equally
well, but when it comes to dis
cussion of politics our feelings
tend to run high.
