The shells of hot hard-boiled eggs can be removed easily if the eggs are rinsed quickly in cold water.
Ancient Pipes To Be Played
Eight blockfooten, original shepherd's pipes that are very much like whistles, will be used in a German play Wednesday.
In the past several decades, block- floeteen have been rvived for home music and musical instruction in European schools.
The instrument is called a recorder in England and is known elsewhere as the fipple fute or the endblown flute. It has five tones, alto, bass, soprano, sopranino and tenor that range from the tone of a bassoon to that of a whistle. It is a somewhat softer sound than a transverse flute.
The blockflooten was used widely during the Elizabethan period and is mentioned in Shakespeare's "Hamlet."
Bach and other weel known composers prior to the 18th century wrote music for the instrument.

Japanese Intellectuals Fear Rise Of Military, Olson Says
"Bewilderment in economic growth and development is still very strong among Japanese intellectuals," Lawrence Olson, American Universities Field Staff representative to Japan, said Wednesday.
Mr. Olson, who will be speaking on the campus until Wednesday, said the Japanese intellectual is searching for something to have faith in.
"There were a number of progressive liberally minded people in Japan before World War II," Mr. Olson said, "but the military forced intellectuals to either conform to the totalitarian regime or be put in jail. There was dissolution because of required conformity to the regime.
"After the war, the U.S. came in with thorough democratization, the constitution was rewritten, people were released from jail, women were given equal rights and the society was to be remade. The intellectuals saw it as a new chance to make over the old regime."
"Most Japanese intellectuals have an opposition against the return of the military." Mr. Olson said. "There is very strong feeling against rearmament and they are afraid of their own military rising again. It is this attitude that conflicts with U. S. policy in Japan now.
"We want a cooperative ally in Japan, not a resentful one. How fast or how tactfully we move is important in influencing the attitudes of the Japanese people."
