Whipping Cream Should Be Cold

Often the housewife finds that the
cream she has will not whip. The de-
partments dairy specialists point out
that to obtain satisfactory results in
whipping cream it should be cold and
of the right thickness, containing
about 80 per cent or more of butter

coffee cream by the trade, is alto.
gether too thin to give good results.
The whipping cream, as delivered by
the milkman, contains 80 to 40 per
cent of butterfat. Thoroughly chill
the cream before whipping by placing
it in a covered bowl on the ice The
whipping process is also aided and
fastened by standing the bowl in pan
of ice water

the ship has both the San Francisco
and Honolulu ends of the cable on
board. Tests are made to ascertain
that no other faults have developed
and that both sections are in good
condition. A message reading Com
munication restored-now making final
splice" is sent to both of the stations
Following this message two hours are
allowed before the stations attempt to
communicate with each other. This Is
a very busy two hours on board the
cable ship. The ends of the cable are
secured over the sheaves at the bow
and are connected by splice from 80
to 40 feet long. With the splice COM
pleted two ropes. one at each side of
the bow, are attached to the cable and

on the deck under each of the ropes.
At a given signal the ropes are cut at
the same time with axes, the ends OF
the ropes fly overheard and the cable
sinks to the bottom of the ocean. AS
the cable disappears from view, the
engines are ruu full speed ahead and

Is tons. The ship then steams ahead
at speed of one or two knots an hour
in kind of taking maneuver at
right angles to the line of the cable.
While the ship is engaged in graphing
member of the crew, ordinarily the
fourth officer, sits on the grapnel rope
near the bow and can usually tell by
the strain when the cable has been
hooked. The instant the cable is
hooked the ship is stopped and the
grapnel rope is slowly wound in by
the hauling machinery. Sometimes the
cable will stand the heavy strain of
being lifted until 1t reaches the sur
tom again before it can be secured.
When this happens the ship steams to
a new location and starts graphing
anew.
When the cable is brought safely to
the surface, it is first secured on either
side of the grapnel by what is known
as chain stopper" this work being
done by a man lowered over the bow
in boatswain's chair. The cable is
then cut, each end is connected to the
instrument in the testing room, and
the stations at San Francisco and Hon
olulu are each called up. 1t is more
than likely, of course, that the ship
will not be able to speak to one of the
stations, as the fault will probably lie
at some point between the ship and
the station. In case it is necessary for
the ship to steam one way or the other
to find the fault as it usually is, 1t Is
necessary to leave one end of the cable
behind and to secure 1t so that it can
be raised again without graphing One
of the big seven-ton buoys shown in
the illustration is made ready flag is
put on it, and 1t is lifted overheard by
a derrick. One end of the cable is at
tached to the buoy by long mooring
chain and rope, and is allowed to sink
to the bottom, the buoy itself being
held in place by a mushroom anchor.
At night time the buoy carries light.
The ship now starts picking up the
cable toward the fault. This is a slow
process, requiring careful navigation,
as the ship must be kept going slowly
ahead at such a speed as to relieve the
strain on the picking-up gear. The
cable comes on board at the rate of
one or two miles an hour and is coiled
by the men into one of the large round
tanks that take the place of the hold
in an ordinary ship. The cable is
guided from the bow to the tank by a
series of sheaves placed at intervals
on the deck; While this operation is
going on, the electricians continue test
ing and the cable may have to be cut
several times before the actual fault is
on board. With the fault found. the
defective portion of the cable is cut
out. and good piece from the ships

AIR NEEDED IN ICE BOX
Provision for Proper Circulation is as
Much a Necessity as Supply Of
Cooling Material.

1t Is astonishing how little the aver
age housekeeper knows about ice
Some women seem to think all there
Is about ice Is to have the man nut it
in the refrigerator. Others, more care
fui, think to save the ice bill by put
ting some kind of covering over the
Ice.
True, the ice does not melt SO quick
ly with the cover, but then again, since
1t does not melt it has no cooling eff
feet. Unless ice melts it is useless.
The faster it melts the colder the Ice
box becomes
The most important feature of a
good refrigerator is ample facility for
free circulation of air when the box
is closed. Cool air, being heavier than
warm air, sinks. The warm air rises.
For this reason the coolest place in
the refrigerator is the bottom and not
the ice chamber, as so many people
think it is and consequently often put
butter or milk directly in with the ice.
There must be suitable passages to
! allow the warm air rising from the
things placed in the refrigerator to
flow to and over the ice at the top, and
for this same air when cooled and
purified by the melting ice, to return
into the food chamber
The circulation continues until the
temperature is equalized While this
circulation proceeds the ice melts
rapidly, but when the temperature is
once equalized the ice melts very
slowly. that is, if the door fits tight.
1t will pay in the end to keep the ice
compartment well supplied with ice.
1t should never be less than one-quar-
ter full. The ice melts faster, and
with less cooling effect, when the sup

the convict road work in some nine
states-Colorado, Indiana, Iowa, Kan
sas, Michigan, Missouri, North Da-
kota, Oklahoma and Wisconsin. State
prisoners are turned over to the coun-
ty authorities to be worked on the
county roads in Florida, Georgia,
North Carolina and South Carolina
This system is not approved by the
national committee on prisons and
prison labor, which holds that the
state under no circumstances is justi-
fled in delegating the responsibility
for its convict wards to county au-
thorities.
The system in New York state di-
vides the responsibility for the con-
struction work and maintenance of
the camps between Che state highway
department and the commissioners of
the counties in which the roads are
to be built, with the state superintend-
ent of prisons in final authority. In
Utah, west Virginia and Wyoming
the highway department and the pris-
on department cooperate in the con-
troll of this work. The prison depart
ment is fully responsible for the care
and discipline of the prisoners, while
the road department is called upon to
do the work which it is equipped to
do, the building of roads.
The committee has found this lat
ter system essential to the successful
Of convict road work.
The prison department is in posi-
ton to care for the prisoners and to
handle such matters as food, clothing,
medical attention, the afford
ing of educational facilities and recre
alton.

According to the Good Roads Year
Book of the American Highway asso-
citation, recently issued, America now
has 5000 miles more of good roads
than France, the total for this coun-
try now amounting to $1,000 miles. OF
this 5000 miles were built in 1912 and
about 5000 in 1914, making total of
over one-third of the entire mileage of
the good roads of the country.
New Jersey was the pioneer state to
provide state aid for public highways,
in 1891, and Massachusetts and Con-
necticut soon followed, but it is only
during the last ten years that the
state aid policy has been in effect to
any considerable extent.

Obituary.

The death angel lowered AROUND
the home of H, f. Blake on Au
gust 26, 1915, and claimed for it,
victim his companion, Annie.
Annie was born June 2, 1890
and was married to H. e. Blake
August %, 1907. To this union
was born three children. She was
a daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. A. X
Vancleave.
She lerves a broken-hearted
husband, three little children, a
father and mother, two sisters,
four brothers and a host of reIa-
tives and friends to mourn their
loss.
Annie protested religion at the
age Of nine years and joined the
Methodist church and lived a
faithful Christian until death.
About two years ago she and her
husband moved their membership
to the Missionary Baptist church
at Pleasant Hill.
This home has lost its central
figure, but our loss is heavens
gain.
We cannot see why God in his
wisdom would call one in the
Prime ollie, and especially one
that was needed Sc much, but
God doeth all things best, and
doeth all things well. We would
say to the husband and little chill
dren, Weep not as those who
have no hope" She cannot come
back to you, but you can go to
her. She was a devoted compan-
ion and a loving mother.
