Egg - Crackers
Shun Perfume
To Hold Jobs
DALLAS. Texas, (AP)— If you
can smell a musty egg a block
away; if you are willing to quit
' eating onions and garlic, and if
you can forego rouge and lipstick
you may become a star egg-crack
er.
Egg-cracking is no vandalistic,
bull-in-a-china shop pastime, but
a serious business, and first-class
smashers are not easy to find. In
brief, egg-cracking runs into mon
ey—500 freight carloads of de
sheiled eggs are shipped from
Dallas during every year. They
are sold in bulk to bakers who
prefer not to crack their own hen
fruit.
The annual rush begins about
mid-March and before the “sea
son” is over, some 65,000,000 eggs.

Italy flatly rejected the Russian
charges and refused to accept the
demands.

will have been laid, cackled over,
candled, cracked, smelled, div
ided into white and yolk, and
shipped. The smelling process is
especially important because one
musty egg can ruin a carload.
Egg-cracking plants are smear
ed with signs reading: "Do not
use perfume, powder, rouge, lip
stick or perfumed soaps." The
onion-garlic rule is implied, but
the prohibition against loose jew
elry which might slip off into a
can of yolks, and a no-smoking
rule, are positive. Finger-nail pol
ish is also out.
Egg-breaking also has its haz
ards. Workers’ hands are treated
with glycerin at the end of each
day to prevent skin irritation.
The industry is thriving, this
year, leaders report, but .they still
have one big worry—what to do
with the shells. So far, the only
solution is to haul them to the
city dump and burn them.

FRED DUROCHER. COUNCIL
MINING MAN SUMMARIZES
OPERATIONS THAT DISTRICT
Fred Durocher, mining man,
postmaster, and well known pop
ular all round sourdough of the
Council mining district, arrived
in Nome yesterday via the Mi
row Air Service plane, on a busi
ness trip.
In an interview with the Nome
Nugget he said he was of ,-the
opinion that the Council section
has just begun to open its eyes
to the tremendous amount of low
grade gold dredging possibilities
and the future of that section for
many miles is assured. Large in
terests have been and are still
prospecting, leasing and getting
together miles upon miles of J
(some low and some high grade)
ground, laying plans to work the
Casadepaga and Neukluk rivers
from head to mouth, with sever
al dredges of large construction.”

"The princiole reason for this
vast amount of mining activity is
due to the increased price of gold
which now makes possible the1
mining and dredging of miles of
acreage of gold bearing deposits,;
which formerly was unprofitable
to work, with old antiquated
methods and machinery," said
Mr. Durocher.
Other mining activities in this
well known field, now in pro
gr. S3, includes three dredges, as
