WASHINGTON, Dec. 18—Investiga

n , v used foods—eggs and poultry—
ave established Dr. Mary E. Penning
s reputation as an expert of the
I-. -.(I States bureau of chemistry,
early called the pure food bureau.
11 Pennington, who is chief of the
nment’s food research laboratory
• Philadelphia, is one of the highest
ed women under civil service, and
. . only woman who has been placed

p.. s s hard work for the government,
p Pennington having been appointed
~ bacteriological chemist in the bureau

<'.< is making studies of eggs and
, : ;r.i. not with a view to increasing
- , volume of these farm products, but
in regard to improved methods of con
o-nation of these articles of food by
i,< :: r handling and refrigeration.
In her opinion, better methods must
bi ;i.muted in the handling of poultry
. > i . ggs to protect the nation's food
suit ? . to give more profits to the
f and to give the consumer an
i iiiiov.-d grade and a more wholesome
I oiiuet as a reasonable price.
According to Dr. Pennington, careless
I- ■ udling and excessive waste make the
yii.iii, pay high for an inferior product.
\ revolution in the industry of produc
,'ggs will be brought about and the
I ...met much improved if the shippers

ciiiinent expert's suggestions to buy by
< ill and not by count.
The woman investigator estimates
that nearly half a billion dollars are
.‘•pent for the eggs which are eaten by
Ihe people of the United States eaclr
year, the farms producing more than
>-,000,000 cases of 36 dozen eggs each.
In New York alone nearly 5,000,000
cases of eggs are used each year, and
lhe number eaten annually by each
person is more than 32.

Countess Becomes Wife of Untitled American
CUPID UPSETS CUSTOM
LONDON. Dec. 13.—London society is
evidences of enthusiasm for
the new international marriage idea as
exemplified by the recent nuptials of the
Austrian Countess Camilla Hoyos and
Charles Wilkins Short, Jr., of Cincin
nati and Boston.
The number of invitations that are
keeping the young people going on an
almost constant round of the most fash
ionable homes would Indicate that the
reversal of the customary marriage—that
of the European nobleman to the Ameri
can heiress—is welcome here.
However, the personalities of the bride
and bridegroom certainly have much to
do with their popularity. Mr. Short,
who has no title except a college degree
from Hamilton and whose career as an
architect in Boston has only just begun,
is greatly admired for his distinguished
manners and manly mind. Peers hobnob
with the young American as genially as
if his fathers had been with Richard
Coeur DeLion in the -Crusades, instead
of helping to make Cincinnati famous.
The Countess Camillo, on the other
hand, has a title that goes back through
Austrian centuries to the glorious days of
Spain’s supremacy, but she has also an
untitled English mother, who was Miss
Alice Whitehead, granddaughter of Sir
Robert Whitehead, who invented the
Whitehead 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
their summer home in the 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
Whitehead, daughter of Sir Beetham
