POTTERY WORK IS A PUZZLE.
Immense Bowls Made by Indians of
the Amazon Valley Cannot Be
Duplicated.

An expert has declared there is no
kiln or wen in this country, probably
none in the world, large enough to
bake the largest of the big pots dis
covered in the Amazon valley, samples
of which are now on exhibition at the
Museum of the University of Penn
aroused much curiosity. When a
piece of the edge was clipped from
one of the big bowls the material was
Undeniably it is clay, but of a kind
Potters are astonished at its remark
able strength. The large bowls are
less than half an inch thick, while
some of the smaller ones, a foot or
fourteen inches high, are as thin as a
sheet of newspaper. An idea of their
strength may be gained from the
knowledge that they were transport
ed about ten thousand miles before
reaching the museum, and only a few
of them were broken, though all were
packed under difficulties in villages
that knew nothing of packing break
ables.
The Indians who made these won
derful pots are as mysterious as their
work. Doctor Farrabee wrote that
they were absolutely devoid of any
traditions, and had no idea of where
they came from. 1t is known, how
ever, that they cannot have been in
Peru more than about five hundred
years. The larger bowls give out a
metallic sound when raped. Ole not
seeing the substance would say at first
they were made of painted copper.
Each of the two big pots would hold
four or five tons.

VALUABLE HINTS ON
DISPOSING OF REFUSE.
How Pits With Covers Aid the Clean
ers of Streets and Walks.

When streets and sidewalks are
cleaned by hand sweeping there
should be provided r~eceptacles of APP
propriate design and suitable capacity
for the reception of the street sweep
ings awaiting removal.
A useful form of such receptacle
would be one which could be removed
without being emptied, another being
left in its nlace for the next days
sweepinps. The same method is equal
ly applicable for small garbage and
household refuse.
There are other receptacles for
street refuse that may be sunk in pits.
They are made of steel with a dump
ing bottom, and the removal cart is
provided with means of lifting them
out of the pit to the top of the cart,
which is covered with a top having
special openings so that the contents
of the cans may be dumped into. the
cart without being scattered by the
wind.
After being so dumped the cans are

PITS are locaLed IN Une Sidewalk near
the curb, and the street refuse is

ed flaps bridging the gutter. The pit

The removal of all town street
~sweepings and GARBAGE refuse should
be done in wagons invariably having
covers in order to protect the passing
public and the workmen from escap-
ing particles. 1t is better, however,
to have it removed in the original
cans, leaving empty can in place, al
this is an absolute protection to all
concerned and gets the wagons off
the streets sooner.

ECONOMY IN BOILED BEEF
Many and Variable Ways by Which
the Meat May be Used to the
Best Advantage.

Since soup bones now cost twenty
cents where they used to cost five
cents, it is more economical of time
and fuel to buy a good boiling piece
of beef than the shank. Of the sew
eral cuts that nearest the shank
namely, the heel of the rounds a
good one to get. Every scrap of the
meat is disable either when hot or
when warmed up in u a nice
curry sauce perhaps, or one made
by cooking a number of vegetables in
the same stock. The stock or bouil-
lon is not only used for soup but for
vegetable dishes nowadays; even bouil-
Ion potatoes are popular-that is, po-
tatoes boiled in bouillon.
Buy two pounds and a half of the
heel of the round of beef. This will
make three quarts of medium strong
soup stock or bouillon. The cooked
meat itself is what the French call
"bouilli." The brisket is a favorite
piece for this boiling with them.
Wash the meat quickly, and if it is to
be sliced when cold tie it up compact
ly. Cover with the amount of cold
water necessary. Three quarts may
be used for a medium stock, but three
pints will make a very strong stock
for g~ravies. Bring slowly to a boil
and add enough salt to bring the scum
to the surface quickly. For three
quarts of liquid an even tablespoonful
of salt will not be too much. This
may be simmered over the simmering
burner, or heat one stone of a f~ireless
cooker to the point where the already
boiling meat will continue to boil
when set on it; put in a cooker, set
covered vessel containing the meat on
it, and leave on for five or six hours.

Schools for All Tastes.

The folk schools of Finland are par
ticularly fine, with their cooking de-
partments, gymnasiums, manual train
ing and needle work. Every school
has excellent bathing facilities, and
the poorest children are fed at the
schools. There are little geological
museums in most of the schools.
There are so many varieties of schools
besides the folk schools, elementary
and higher; there are lyceums, schools
of forestry, of agriculture and of nav
igation, schools for training teachers,
commercial schools, technical, music
and art schools, ETC., says the Christ
ian Herald. There are three little
garden schools in Finland, where boys
as we'll as girls are taught cooking.
"They must learn to cook what they
grow" said one of the teachers. The
dairy schools are particularly inter-
esting, dairying comes second among
the industries of Finland. The pupil
must have worked for one year at a
butter factory before he or she will
be admitted to the school.

PLAN BAN ON WOMEN
JTTNEY BUS DRIVERS
Association Opposed to Admit
ting Fair Chauffeurs Into
Membership.

The Philadelphia Jitney Association Is
rapidly assuming serious proportions. a
constitution and bylaws will be adopted
al the next meeting, on Thursday. and a
number of new members will be adj
mitted. The salient feature of the con-
stitution, as far as its main points have
thus far been developed, is the elimina-
ton of women iitney drivers. Several
women are at present engaged in the
business. 1t is the purpose of the associa-
tion 10 rule all women drivers ineligible
for membership.
The effect of the advent of the jltney
on taXicab fares has not yet made itself
felt. The charge for taXicab by the
hour is 81, while the Jitney Association
has fixed 81 an hour for a Ford car and
81 for larger car as the standard rate.
The iitney sign is removed from all cars
when engaged for an hour or more In
dependent drivers are charging even
lower rates than the association. A Ger
mantown automobile owner advertises to-
day that he will let his car for three per-
sons n n rate OF 10 cents per mile. For
city travel this Is slightly lower than the
association rates.
Numerous requests for jitneys have
been received by the association. The
additional cars will be placed in operation
as soon as they can be obtained. Of
tcials of the new organization declare
that they could successfully place in
operation more than five times the num-
ber of cars available at present West
Philadelphia Is particularly desrous of
obtaining iitney service.

UTAH POTASH PRODUCT
TO MEET U. s. NEEDS
Lack Of Supply From Germany,
Due to War, Counter-bal-
anced by Recent Discoveries.

WASHINGTON. April IL. - 1nvestiga-
Of Agriculture made within the last few
months tend to allay to some extent the
apprehension felt about the lack Of a
supply of potash for agricultural par
poses. Hitherto the entire supply Of
agricultural potash has come from Ger
many, and the cessation OF imports, as
a result of the war. has caused con-
siderable discussion as to the disastrous
consequences of the cutting off OF this
supply
Recent discoveries In the Marysvale
region, in Utah, of large quantities of
aIuntes, which contain high percentage
OF potash, lead to the belief that the
United States will be able to furnish
its own supply Of potash for agricultural
purposes in the near future.
Two large companies have purchased
about all of the alunite producing ter
ritory In Utah and are carrying forward
their investigation work with fair pros
poets OF success. The promoters announce
confidently that they will be able to place
the potassium salts on the market in com
mcroIal quantities i'm short time
Production of commercial potash IN
Utah is attended with considerable diff
ficulty, although these troubles are not
regarded as insurmountabe Two chief
problems confront the prospective manu-
facturers. In the first place, in the pro-
duction of potash from alunites, one of
the chief by-products Is alumina, for
which at present there does not seem to
be a profitable market
One of the companies operating in Utah
has progressed so far in its plans that It
is planning the erection of n mill for the
manufacture of commercial potash. An
alysis of the alunite mineral in Utah
shows 81 per cent. of alumina. 1876 per
cent. of sulphuric acid, ia per cent. of
potash and IL per cent of water This
mineral Is OF a grade as high or higher
than that which has been worked in Ger
many

Question-May Announce Decision.

Question-May Announce Decision.
LONDON, April 13.-The British Cabinet
met today for final discussion of the
liquor question before the meeting of Par
Lament tomorrow. 1t was considered
probable that before night the Ministry
would formulate a definite program for
regulating the liquor traffic during the re-
mainder of the war
Premier Asquth returned at noon from
a lengthy conference with King George
at Windsor. He brought to the Cabinet
meeting the final message from the King,
who, 1t was reported. was willing to
make some concessions to the liquor in
terests and would not insist upon abso-
lutte prohibition.
Chancellor of the Exchequer Lloyd
George presented the results OF his con-
ference with the liquor representatives on
last Friday. The liquor men, he reported.
suggested that in centres where the Gov.
ernment was convinced excessive use of
liquor was hindering the manufacture of
war munitions, it should take drastic
steps, even to the extent of laying a ban
on the sale of all liquor. The liquor rep.
resentatives, however, insisted that deal
ers in these sections must be fully com,
pensated for their loss. II was consid.
cred improbable that the Government
would accept this plan because of the
probability that the cry of dIscrimna-
ton would be raised.
