The censorship is in charge of Miss

the evening gowns of the girls do not
conform to regulations as to length
and style, the wearers are sent back
to their rooms for change of attire.
This has happened to several young
women recently. The censorship is
established because of the loyalty of
the Indiana "co-eds'' to the prevailing
styles, especially in dancing frocks.
The frocks have been cut so low from
the chin and no high from the ground
that they have been shocking to some,

Cherry Pits, Now Source Of An.

Yield Valuable Oils.
new INDUSTRY IS POSSIBLE
Specialists In Y. s. Department OF A.
ricuiture Declare Also That 1861
900 Gallons Of Juice Now
Thrown Away May Be
Converted Into jelly
and Strip.

Washington, D. C.-Sixteen hundred
tons Of cherry pits, now a source OF
annoyance and expense to canneries,
can be made to yield two valuable oils
and also a meal for feeding cattle, &C.
cording to specialists of the United
States department Of agriculture. In
addition, 10000 gallons of cherry
Juice now wasted in seeding cherries
can be turned into desirable jelly and
strip, or even into alcohol. A saving
Of these valuable by-products from
cherry canning may make possible the
domestic manufacture of substitutes
for almond oil and bitter-almond oil,
now imported, and at the same time
establish new industry in the cherry
packing districts of the North Allan
tic, North Central and Western states.
The specialists, however, have not
yet carried their work to q point
where they can say that the convert
ing OF this juice and the cherry pits
would be q profitable side industry for
the ordinary or smaller cannery. In
cases where a number of Gamers are
operating within a reasonable distance
Of one another, the specialists, how.
ever, believe that the waste products
could be sent to a central cooperative
or other plant at small cost and there
utilized to advantage. Studies, how
ever, are being carried on to deter
mine whether means cannot be de.
vised for making these waste products
profitable also when handled on =
small scale.
Some time ago there was similar in
vestigation of the use OF peach and
apricot pits for making oils and
meal, and a commercial enterprise
has been established in California for
dealing with these products. The de-
partment has published a bulletin on
this subject and also one dealing with
the utilization of raisin seed from
the seeded raisin industry. 1t was
found that many tons of raisin seed
had considerable fruit adhering to
them which could readily be turned
into very desirable raisin strip for
the use of confectioners and others.
After this pulp had been used it was
found that an oil useful in the arts
could profltably be pressed from the
seed, and experiments are under way
to determine whether the crushed
seed could not be used to advantage
in feeding stock.
The following description Of these
products, and methods which have
been developed for making them, are
taken from professional paper $50,
THE Utilization of Cherry By-Prod-
ucts," by Frank Rabak, chemical
biologist, bureau of plant industry.
Fixed Oil From Cherry Pits.
1.-THE kernel of the pit, as long has
been known, contains considerable
quantity of oil. Investigations re-
Gently conducted show that the oily
constituents Of the kernel can be con-
verted into fixed oil much like al
mond oil, and a volatile oil practically
identical with oil of bitter almonds.
The bystander. [volume] (Des Moines, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1916-05-05

based on the current prices for the
very similar imported bitter.almond
oil, would be In the neighborhood of
$4,000.
"The press cake left after both fixed
and volatile oils have been removed,
is believed to contain substances
which may make It desirable stock
food. It's most important constitu,
ents, as shown by analysis, are fat,
protein. including nitrogen compounds,
and sugar and other carbohydrates.
The protein amounts to 80 per cent
and in this the cake compares favor.
ably with other stock foods. If cherry
kernel meal proves in practice to be
as good for feed as the laboratory
analysis would indicate, the annual
value of this product would be about
$4,000.
Much Juice 10 Wasted.
THE 10000 gallons of cherry Juice
wasted each year in the canneries, the
experiments show, would, II collected
and treated, produce $4,000 gallons Of
desirable jelly or a large quantity Of
table strip. or could be made to fer
ment and produce alcohol. In the ex-
periments cherry jelly, bright red In
color and with q fruity odor, was
made by concentrating the cherry
Juice with cane sugar in vacuum.
A small amount of gelatin was then
added and the mixture allowed to
cool. Other processes in which the
concentrated Juice Is heated with
pectin or fruits rich in pectin. the
Investigators believe might produce
even better results.
The juice also could be made into
some $1,000 gallons Of an agreeably
favored table strip by neutralizing
the acid in the filtered juice with milk
of lime and concentrating it by evap-
Grafton and then settling or filtering
out the lime compounds.
THE cherry juice, II fermented BY
the addition of yeast and then dis
titled, can be made to yield Sc per
cent of absolute alcohol or about
5000 gallons"
