Why It's Their Breathing That Makes Fruit Ripe or Unrpe

probably reformation of starch accom- panied by disappearance of cane sugar during the latter part of the season. March to June.
 The changes in starch and cane sugar appear in a general way to correspond with the seasonal changes in the tenn perature. In sweet potatoes kept in cold storage, at 39.2 Fahrenheit, there is a rapid disappearance of the starch and an accompanying increase in cane sugar. These changes do not attain state of equilibrium at that temperature, as the sweet potatoes invariably rot by the action of fungi before the changes have reached their maximum.
 It may seem like @ matter of minor import to ascertain why sweet potatoes are sweet and what constitutes a really ripe banana. In these days, when the limitations of the seasons are no longer allowed to set restrictions on the food demands of mankind, and when questions of effective economical methods of trans portation and storage are seriously studied, 1t becomes essential. says The Journal of the American Medical Asso- ciation, for practical as we'll as theo. retical reasons, to unravel the details oy the biologic processes involved.

rapid while the fruits are turning from green to yellow. During this period the respiration increases manyfold. Next to the starch and respiration changes, most conspicuous are those of water. The peel loses while the pulp gains, in water by steady transfer of the latter to 1t from the peel during ripening.
 Similar changes take place in the sweet potato. Sugar is developed, with the result that the storage of sweet potatoes is accompanied by decay brought about by micro-organisms. These destructive changes are not yet wholly preventable by any of the methods of storage in common use.
 During it's growth the sweet potato contains very little sugar. The reserve materials from the vines are almost wholly deposited as starch. Immediately after the roots are harvested there oc- CUTS rapid transformation of starch into sugar. This transformation seems to be due to internal causes and is largely independent of external conditions. Tn sweet potatoes stored ct a temperature of from 53 to 62 F., the moisture remains fairly constant. There is a gradual dis appearance of starch during the first of the season-Oc October to March-and

from behind, encircle his neck with your arm, drawing the head out of water. That is called the "strangle hold.n
 Holding the imperilled swimmer in this fashion, strike out for the canoe or motor boat, and get the person across 1t as quickly as possi- ble. Swim with one arm, dragging the rescued one with the other.
 In street costume my pupils per form feats that would, in a real emergency, mean the saving of life. Several of them have already actually performed that service. One of the young women in the seni ,r class has four lives to her credit the third time. On another occasion she saved a mother and two daugh- ters. It was commentary on. let us say, the nervousness of the person who has been in peril of drowning, that none of the three thanked the girl who saved them.
 Everyone can learn to swim. Everyone should learn to swim. l favor making swimming compulsory in all schools. A diploma should be withheld in all institutions from those who have failed to learn. For not only does a lack of knowledge of how to swim indicate a lack of courage, but it shows that the per son is defective in a most important character quality, perseverance.
 For, as l said, everyone can learn to swim as everyone can learn to sing or to dance. Some may not become as expert as others, but all can learn sufficiently to be safe in the water themselves and to save

carbon dioxid is produced and given off. Usually this means conversion of in- soluble starch into soluble sugar. which latter Is then in part used up in the respi- ration functions. Ripening effects loss in the total carbohydrate content of the fruit, for example, as well as an attend ant development of soluble carbo- hydrates. Apples which are ripe early have developed considerable content of sugar by transformation of starch. The unripe apple is relatively rich in starch and poor in sugars The speed with which the ripening changes proceed va ries widely with species and varieties of plants as well as with the temperature. They proceed apart from all connection with the original plant. as we commonly note when green fruit, prematurely picked, proceeds to ripen properly.
 The United States Department of Agri- culture has recognized the desirability of increasing our knowledge of what con- stitutes "ripening," as is witnessed by two investigations recently reported from the Government laboratories at Wash ington. With respect to bananas, the most conspicuous change is the conver- sion of starch into sugars. It is most Great Britain Riehta Reserved.

FRUITS, roots and tubers have al- ways furnished a considerable part = of the diet of mankind, and are therefore entitled to serious considera- tion. Every one knows the difference between ripe and unripe fruit yet there is surprising lack of information as to precisely what is the basis for such dis tinction. Why one variety of apples, picked in October, is ripe and ready to be eaten raw, whereas another, growing Tn the same field, is designated as a Winter variety" unfit for consumption until several months later, unless it is cooked. is rarely considered by the con sumer. The fact of difference between Fall and Winter, or early Fall and late Fall varieties, has become associated in his mind with color, form, type and names-rarely with anything directly suggestive of a real chemical basis for these distinctions.
 In many of these plant products the act of ripening is attended by process of real respiration, or breathing, in which

not, according as the drowning per son is in instant need or not If there be time they also fling off their coats. The hats take care of them selves. They either fall off in the leap or the disarranged hair loosens them. But it does not greatly mat ter about the hat nor the other clothes. These are mere precautions to be taken if there is time, to be ignored if there is not.
 Suppose the drowning person is a hundred yards or more from shore. Don't, in your zeal, swim toward him so rapidly that you exhaust yourself before you reach him. Swim at moderate pace, husbanding your strength. Or, if you can arrange it, jump into boat and row or paddle out to him.
 The swimmer strikes out for the person to be rescued. It is hoped she will not make the wrong ap- proach. The wrong approach, that results in many fatalities every Summer, is to swim toward the drowning person from the front. Do this and the drowning one will in- stinctively grasp you and draw you down. There viii probably be two drowned-you as well as himself.
 I have sifted many methods thor oughly, and have concluded there are but three that are safe and prac- ticable. Always approach the per son from the back. Having swum within reaching distance, grasp the person by the hair. Seize him by the collar and give it twist. Or.

are as good swimmers and as fear less. Centuries of tradition have made them a little timid about talk ing to the water in their everyday attire. They thought the clothes would drag them to the bottom. But after a little reasoning with them they have all taken bravely to the water There have been no ac- cidents.
 If every one could swim, and. espe- cially, if everyone could be without fear of springing into the water in any garb, the number of fatalities by drowning would be reduced fifty per cent. Such disasters as the Slocum affair would be robbed of, at least, half their horror. That disaster oc- cured in comparatively shallow water. Had every one on board known how to swim, and been un- afraid to leap into the water in the gala attire of that ill-fated excur- sion, the number of lives lost would not have been one thousand. It would not have been five hundred.
 Swimming may be regarded as freed of all dangers. There. need be no fear even of the former terror inspiring cramps. Ask any of the young women who spring gowned and halted into the water whether they are afraid of cramps, and they will answer: No. Should a cramp seize you turn over on your back and kick it out"
 The person who is in danger of cramps is he who eats and drinks heavily and goes into the water. In- digestion seizes him, and in the clutch of the cramps he sinks. There would be practically no cramps f a swimmer would go into the water before eating, or would wait unt1l two hours after meal.

others. l have known persons to master swimming in two lessons.
 Usually eight lessons, two a week, will suffice, if taken close together that is, two a week. But some timid
