gh making studies of eggs and
poultry, not with a view to increasing
the volume of these farm products, but
jn regard to improved methods of con
servatioi: of these articles of food by
better handling and refrigeration.
In her opinion, better methods must
be adopted in the handling of poultry
and eggs to protect the nation’s food
supply., to give more profits to the
farmer, and to give the consumer an
improved grade and a more wholesome
product as a reasonable price.
According to Dr. Pennington, careless
handling and excessive waste make the
public pay high for an inferior product.
A revolution in the Industry of produc
ing eggs will be brought about and the
product much improved if the shippers

Countess Becomes Wife of Untitled American
CUPID UPSETS CUSTOM
I.<,'X’DOX. Dec. 13.—London society is
giving an evidences of enthusiasm for
. the new international marriage idea as
I exemplified bj the recent nuptials of the
Austrian Countess Camilla Hoyos and
Charles Wilkins Short. Jr., of ctncln
nati and Bust on.
The number of invitations that are
keeping th.: young people going on an
almost constant round of the most fash
ionable homes would indicate that the
reversal of the customary marriage—that
ot the European nobleman to the Ainerl- .
cuu heiress - is welcome here.
However, the personalities of the bride J
and bridegroom certainly have much to I
do with their popularity. Mr. Short,
who has no title except a college degree
from Hamilton and whose career as an I
architect in Boston has only just begun, ’
Is greatly admired for his distinguished '
.manners and manly mind. Peers hobnob I
witli the young American as genially as !
if his fathers had been with Richard |
Coeur H-Lion in the Crusades, instead I
of helping to make Cincinnati famous.
the Countess Camille, on tne other i
hand, has a title that goes back through ,
Austrian centuries to the glorious days of i
Spain’s suj remacy, but she has also an I
untitled English mother, who was Miss !
Alice Whitehead, granddaughter of Sir I
Hebert Whitehead, who invented the i
M hitehead torpedo. Her mother’s sister
in-law. Lady Beetham Whitehead, holds
a position of distinction in London society,
and has lent her social influence to the
gentle task of making the residence in
London of her niece a memorable honey
moon.
It Is expected that Mr. Short and his
bride will sail within a few weeks for
America, where he Intends to resume
his business. Countess Camilla has vis
ited America several times, and has been
popular at Newport. She was the guest
of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph H. Choate at I
their summer home In the Adirondacks on '
two occasions.
Society is still talking of the brilliant
wedding, which took place in Holy Trin
ity church.
The. bridesmaids, who were all dressed
in white, were Countess Bismarck, Bar
oness Gabriella Plesson, Miss Cecily i
Whitehead, daughter of Sir Beet ham '
