Another gun in the battle which COM

waginE against increased Communication
fares proposed by the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad was fired last night when
the Takoma Park Citizens Association
adopted resolutions condemning the pro-
posed increases. and requesting the In

approve them.
The resolutions termed the increases
as unfair, eXorbitant, and unwarrant-
ed and described them as tending 10
work hardship on the commuters
living along this line. decrease property
values. and retard the development of
the entire community" The increase in
the rates proposed for Takoma Park
would amount to nearly 80 per cent OF
the present Communication fare from
Washington.
George w. Nusbaum, the Takoma
Park representative of the Commuters
Association. urged the association to
take firm stand Mr.. Nusbaum pointed
out that the many communities along
the Metropolitan branch Of the Balti-
more and Ohio have been built UP large
Nv through the Inducements of low rates
and that the commuters are unable, as
class, to bear the heavy burden of
the increases.
He called attention TO previous steps
taken by the railroad company to
abrtdge the privileges originally con-
terred upon the commuters

ton, announced that Commissioner

placed on exhibition in large glass
cabinets which early assumed the pro-
portions of museum
At that time there was consider
able sickness among the little ciIil-
dren of the town, great deal Of
stomach trouble, bowel complaint and
the like. Might not it ali be the re-
suit of eating adulterated food? Very
probable And so the consciousness
of humane endeayor gave added zest
to the studies. You might have
searched all the schools in all the
domain. of the United States and no
where would you have found such an
enthusiastic chemistry class as this.
And the interest is there yet. II has
continued undated from the day
after the midnight luncheon on down
to the present time, intensified BY the
knowledge that the classes are OBJ
tanning information of great value,
while Westheld and the entire coun-
try are prohting by these result, OF
food chemistry.
While other schools in other towns
have been studying the strata of the
earth and the stars of the heavens,
Westheld has been studying the prac-
teal subject of foods and drugs The
girls of the other schools have not
been able to use their star and strata
knowledge except to teach IT to 9th
ers. Westheld girls make daily use
of their pure food knowledge, and IN
turn they teach It to others who make
daily use of it
Well, the result of it all ha, been
an upheaval. first in Westheld and
then throughout the nation The
practical chemistry proved to be the
one weapon by which the public has
been able to defend itself against the
onslaughts of the food sdulterator.
Until this knowledge with its results
was taught the manufacturers food
package was a sealed mystery to the
average consumer. The manufactu-
rer kept the formula locked in his
vaults and no one dared peer into its
intricacies. But Professor Allyn and
his chemistry. aided by State and
Federal investigators, turned the
magical light of chemica! tests upon
the food sample and its secrets were
laid bare. Little could be hidden
from the microscope, the test tube

Many of the great educational
innovations in America have been
Matched out in Massachusetts. II is
not so strange, then. that this new
idea Of practical chemistry-the kind
you can use in the home-would have
been born in Massachusetts. Lewis
B. Allyn, a native of the state, was
the first instructor in il, but the idea
of such instruction was first conceived
by Prof. Clarence A. Brodeur. of the
Massachusetts, State Normal School
at Westheld. II occurred to Principal
Brodeur that kind of chemistry
which would assist in the manage
ment of .le home would be the best
kind to teach TO prospective girl
teachers. for through them it would
be impaired TO many other schools,
and through them, in turn, to thou
sands of homes il many parts of the
country. For, after al, 1.-THE final OBJ
ject of education is to benefit society,
and what could be of greater benefit
to society than the uplifting or ad-
vzncement of the home? So the more
Principal Brodeur thought about this
practicable, "home-uszble' chemistry,
the more he was in favor of II. He
knew of one man ideally qualified to
teach il, Professor Allyn. of Boston,
and he determined to get him He
found Professor Allyn as anxious to
teach this kind of chemistry as he
himself was to have il taught, and it
did not take them long to arrive at
an agreement.
But the two teachers builded better
than they knew. They merely thought
the horne-chenistry would be of prac-
teal help about the house in putting
up preserves, dying cloth, removing
stains, detecting impurities in foods,
laundering wooiens. keeping the air
pure, and the like They never
dreamed that it would be means of
making Westheld known the country
over, and of preventing the pollution
of the nations food supply.
After the girl participant. IN the
midnight luncheon had been sickened
BY adulterated jam, the chemistry
classes started out on 4 new line Of
investigation Instead of removing
stains from cloths, and learning the
effects of bacteria. yeast, and molds
in canning and preserving, they now
began to look into the chemical COM
position of food products. They went
to the stores and bought all kinds of
food samples, and brought them to the
laboratory and examined them. There
was no absence of skill or zeal IN the
