MAY NOT ACCEPT BLOCKADE
British Blockade Must Be Effective to
Get U. s. Recognition.

Washington. Jan. 1.-THE United
States will not recognize the proposed
new blockade Of Germany by Great
Britain unless II is made absolutely
effective.
To be legal in the eyes Of the state
department 1t must not only girdle
the shores Of Germany on the North
Sea, but extend into the Baltic sea
and be able effectively to prevent all
intercourse across this body of water
between the Scandinavian countries
and Germany.
This fact was obtained from highest
official sources in the state depart
ment. The United States will insist
that the blockade to be effective must
operate against trade with all neutral
countries and Germany.
In German embassy circles il is
said that II Great Britain attempts to
penetrate the Baltic for the purpose
of establishing a blockade she will
have undertaken the most hazardous
naval effort of the war.

SELECT TREES WITH CARE
Matter Worth Great Consideration by
tho One Who Is Planning
Real Home.

Now that the process Of tree NOV
ing is so successful, 1t Is a simple
matter to annex and preserve as ones
own specimens of the numerous beau
tiful trees which the countryside
dweller is apt to run across in his
woodland rambles.
Do not make the mistake, however,
of thinking that any kind Of tree
can be planted in any place; selec-
tions need to be made with intelli-
gence and due regard to drainage and
soil.
The cver-changing beauty of the
mountain maple makes it an unusu-
ally satisfactory tree for ornamental
planting. The branches in winter are
beautiful in coloring, as in spring are
the buds and blossoms, followed in
summer by the developing fruits.
The wild plum tree, too, has possi-
bilities which too many people fail to
recognize. The blossoms Of this tree
are the nearest we get to the cherry
blossom display Of the Japanese, and
although their beauty endures for only
a brief season, the trees are especially
desirable when planted along rocker
les or along walls.

mission days, when man came to his
meeting and told of his efforts to
comfort his wife as she lay upon the
sick bed. 'I read the Bible to her
every night" he said. what did you
read?" inquired the missioner. "Well,' -
said the man, "I began at the first
chapter Of the Book of Proverbs, and
when I had finished the book she
died!"

'EcLlPsEs OF EARLY DATE
Astronomers Hold Differing Opinions
as to When They Were Officially
Observed In China.

Messrs. Hiyarama and Ogura have
published in the proceedings of the
Toxic Mathematico-Physical society
the results of their attempts to fix the
dates of some early eclipses recorded
in Chinese literature. The earliest Is
mentioned in one of the books Of the
Shu Ching, where it is recorded that
in the reign of Chung K'ang, the
fourth emperor of the Hsia dynasty,
there occurred an eclipse of the sun
which had not been predicted by the
astronomers, who were alleged to have
been drunk and to have neglected
their duties. Hence the customary
rites for deivering the sun, which
should have been arranged by the as
tronomers, were in the emergency
performed by other officials without
proper preparation. The emperor ac-
ccrdingly odered the army to punish
the astronomers. A later document
makes it possible to fix the date OF
this event as October 13, 2127 B. G.
Julian calendar)-the earliest record
ed eclipse in the world. Calculation
shows that there actually was solar
eclipse on that date, but probably not
in China, though the elements Of the
motions of the sun and moon are not
accurate enough to indicate certainly
the path of 80 remote an eclipse. The
authors are inclined to think that tha
information fixing the date Of the
eclipse is due to Chinese astronomers
of later age, who calculated that an
eclipse occurred on that date and er-
roneously supposed that 1t was visible
In China.

Cost of RadIum Greatly Reduced.

SSSs VI hcNiett ~ Sos'y taSSSSSSs
AS result of work done by the
bureau of mines of the United States
department Of the interior, in connec-
tion with the National Radium insti-
tute, radium bromide has been pro-
duced at a cost Of only $36,050 per
gram, most remarkable result
when it is remembered that only re-
Gently the salt has been selling for
$4,000 and upward per gram.
Still, we have no definite information
what it costs to produce this high
priced salt. There is, however, little
possibility that the prices will be
greatly reduced, as all of the known
deposits of the carnotite ores, from
which radium is at present obtained,
are held very closely by their own
ers; and moreover, these deposits can
not last many years at the present rate
of working. These facts, together
with rapidlyincreasing demand, will
undoubtedly increase the price of ra-
dunn even above the above big fig
ures, Notwithstanding the improve
ments in the methods Of extracting

SHOWING HOW TO DO THINGS
Much That Could Be Accomplished by
Woman County Agent In
Community.

The United States department Of
Agriculture has started movement
to place woman county agent in
every community in this country. And
why shouldn't It? Mother needs help
just as well as father.
The woman county agent Is to do
for women, girls and the home what
the farm demonstration agent does
for the men and the boys on the farm.
The aim in each case is to get done
some definite worthwhile things,
which teach lesson and inspire to
greater achievements. In the girls
canning-club work the girls are in
'structed how to grow tomatoes and
other vegetables on one-tenth Of an
acre, and how to can, preserve, pickle,
and in other ways utilize the products.
Winter garden clubs and poultry clubs
have naturally followed the work in
canning and summer gardening. Bread
making and many other forms Of home
Improvement work have also been
taken up. This work trains girls to
become efficient home makers, develop
the resources of the farm, to improve
the quality of the country life and
to become economically independent.
From the girls garden to the moth
ers' kitchen and the home is a short
and easy step. The work with girls
has opened the way for systematic
home-economics work in the rural
home, and has developed the logical
organization and method for doing
this work.

1TOWNVr \
IS HELPS
GOOD APARTMENTS, LOW RENT
Experiment. Undertaken at Des
Moines, la, Asserted to Be
Complete Success.

A practical demonstration to prove
that individual apartments with mod
ern plumbing, sanitary conveniences,
and absolute privacy for each family,
can be built to rent for from 50 to
s12.5O per month and yet yield rea'
sonable profit to the builder, was mace
a short time ago at Des Moines, la.
The Octavia Hill association, which
has already won renown in solving
housing problems, has worked out the
plan to the smallest detail and is
building the model houses. Forty-tive
families were provided for in the first
block now under construction.
The houses, which are Of red brick,
are simply finished with sufficient
trimming to keep them from being se-
verely plain. One important feature
Of the property is the provision for
the children. About 5000 square feet
of ground in the center of the block
will be used for playground. The
rent collectors are trained society
workers and will volunteer to start
the playground activities.
The investment will reach nearly
0,O00, which Is represented by cap
ital stock and 6! mortgage which pays
4.4 per cent year. The investment
will yield a gross income of 1913 per
cent per year, after deducting taxes,
insurance, water rents, cost OF collec-
ton of rents, social work, deprecia-
tion, etc., Of 5.7 per cent.
The Des Moines venture Is test
case to prove that the unsanitary and
bad housing conditions which prevail
for the low.salaried workingmen are
criminally unnecessary. It is yoic-
ing an unanswerable protest against
the crowded tenement, the dilapidated
and unsanitary house which is virtu-
ally the only kind offered to the man
who must pay less than SIS month
rental.
The association now owns or man.
ages 353 dwellings, housing $500 peo-
pie, and has never failed to pay four
per cent a year to it's stockholders.

For the Flower Grower.

Sow mignonette in pots for early
spring Towering.
To keep geraniums in bloom give a
temperature of so degrees during the
day and so degrees at night. Keep
them in the dryest situation possible,
avoiding too much water at the roots
and too much artificial manure.
A florists paper says that on low
land pussy willows can be grown to
advantage. If you want to grow them
and tars no low land set them out on
high ground, where they will do quite
RS well.

Of bread. When choosing sweetbreads
see that they are fresh and large.
Their color should be clear, and If
they are not to be used Immediately
they should be parboiled.
One Of the best liked and perhaps
the commonest ways Of serving this
dainty is in cream sauce in rame-
kins or on toast. Parboil, then cut
in bits, removing all Of the connecting
tissue. To blanch, cook in little
acidulated water, a tablespoonful Of
vinegar to a pint Of water Is sufi-
cient. Then add them tc hot,
rich white sauce, well seasoned, and
serve.
Sweetbread SaIad.-Cut up q sweet
bread that has been cooked, mix
with an equal quantity Of celery cut
in dice, season well, add mayonnaise
and serve on lettuce.
Sweetbreads and Peas.-This COM
bination seems to be especially happy.
Parboil two pairs Of good sized sweet
breads with one sliced onion, bay
leaf and two or three cloves-saving
the water to be used in making the
sauce. Remove the fiber and pick
the sweetbreads to pieces, mix with
q cupful Of fresh mushrooms that
have been cooked in three tablespoon
fuls of butter for ten minutes. Add
a can of peas, drained Of their liquor,
a cupful Of rich milk, salt, pepper,
and a grating Of nutmeg. Thicken
with a tablespoonful each. Of butter
and flour, add the liquor strained, and
the sweetbread mixture. Serve in
timbale cases or on toast.
sweetbread sandWlehes.-Cut some
cold boiled sweetbreads in thin
slices, season with salt, pepper
and finely chopped celery in may
onnaise, spread over the sweetbreads,
then on top put a thinly cut slice
Of buttered bread.
