LONG WORDS

What is the longest English
word? Some time ago the Lon
don Academy published a list of
words Of Gargantuan dimensions,
with their authorities and in
stances of actual usage. Among
other words which figure in the
list are velocipedistrianisticalis
narianologist, ultradisestablish-
mentariasts, Observation-Disclosures
tartan, Observation-Disclosures
arianists, antitranssubstantioa-
tionistically, flocipaucinihilipilif-
cation fused by Sir Walter Scott
in his journaD, and honorifcabil-
itudinitatibus fused by Shake
speare and several others). Ger
tain trifies such as incircums-
cribtibleness do not count, and
the big word of RabeIais, antiper-
icameta gedamphicribra-
tionis is apparently ruled out, for
the Academy says: The English

JUNK

The waste in every household
is considerable. Part is unavoid-
able waste and part is necessary
waste. Altogether too much food
goes into the garbage can.
Clothes are not taken care of, are
not pressed or mended, or hung
up when not in use and so be-
come shabby long before their
usefulness is ended. Shoes that
with a little mending would go
many a mile are thrown out, and
throughout the house there is
waste. The attic bears testi-
mony to this fact.
Waste that is waste should not
be boarded, but turned into pro-
fit. Old rubbers, rags and iron
can be turned into many an hon
est penny, and clothing that, has
served its day may be sold to
second hand dealers glad to get
such articles.
The conservation of household
waste affords a living for thou
sands Of people. The junk man
is usually a leading citizen, we'll
housed and we'll fixed. The priv
ilege of trimming" the scows
that take the waste of New York
to sea is worth millions annually.
It makes millionaires. And the

HOW HE WENT HOME

He was going to his wife and
family. 1t was growing dark.
His road from the station was a
lonely one, and he was getting
along as fast as he could, when
he suddenly suspected that man
behind was following him pur-
posely. The faster he went the
faster the man went, until they
came to a churchyard. Now"
he said to himself. "I'll find out
if he's after me-" and he entered
the churchyard. The man fol-
lowed him. Vague visions of re-

waste that finds its way to the
garbage scow is what breaks
some families.
A certain school teacher has
the right idea. Every spring she
asks the children to bring to the
school the worn out rubbers of
the winter, and from the pro-
ceeds she buys pictures for the
walls and phonograph records for
the dances. At times these con-
tributions amount to over half a
ton. Waste becomes profitable
as you get it together. And
when SO gathered it should be
used for a good purpose as a
standing object lesson that
waste conserved is profit
earned"
Here is a junk story from the
Far East: A Japanese rag man
of excellent speech and manner
has been making a canvass, offer
ing to buy all the old junk
offered. Instead of paying cash
ne gives a cupon good at a GER
tain bank, where it must be left
untouched for certain number
of years.
Upon investigation the ragman
turned out to be former super
intendent of Yokohama police
and manager of a large dock cor
poration, interested in teaching
his people the proper use Of junk
Junk money is apt to be regard
ed as easy money" and spent
foolishly. While it is easy money,
it should be conserved to useful
ness and not wasted. The school
teacher uses one method, the ia
panese junk man another, but
both tending in the right direc-
ton. We can teach our children

sprinkle A qts. Of sugar over the
blossoms and pour 4 OTIS. of boil
ing water over all. Cover we'll
and let stand till it is but luke
warm, then add two grated lem

tablespoons of string yeast or |

warm place for "a hours, after
which time strain through a fine
cloth and let it stand in a cool
place for 3 days, strain again and
let ferment in a wooden keg. af-

A stone jar may be used if you

In German East Africa Where
the British Push the Enc
my Back.

WASHINGTON, August l9,-"Dur-
ing the last month the battle front
in German East Africa has changed
more radically than in any other
theater of the world war. The Brit
ish troops have been pushing the
German colonial and native troops
southwark over an extent of territory
which if carried forward in the same
degree eastward from Verdun would
bring the allies to within 100 miles Of
Berlin. If the Italians were to ad-
vance as far north from the IsOnzo
front as British troops have advanced
southwark from Muanza on Lake Vic
toria Nyanza, Vienna we would be in
the hands of General Cardona. If
the Russians could have effected
such western drive during the same
peNod they would have been in pos
session of Warsaw, Cracow, Danzing
and Konigsberg today. Blu such COM
parsons only can the reader of daily
war dispatches realize the extent of
