Day Seen Coming When Fruit
And Plants May Be Made to
Taste as the Grower Wishes.

The day is coming soon when pota-
like cantaloupes, grapefruit will be
plucked from the trees like cherries
and the Sahara desert will bloom like
rose garden. Such was the predic-
ton made by Howard Dean, professor
of chemistry at Park college, speak
ing before the Missouri Valley Horti.
cultural society.
Professor Dean said he already had
succeeded in reducing the starch of a
potato to sugar through chemical treat
ment. He asserted that by feeding
certain plants ON for1naldehyde they
can be made to develop sugar and
starch.
Investigations now being made by
chemists show that plants manufac-
ture compounds that are not normal to
them. These Investigations, he said,
are being continued, and chemists are
diligently searching the leaves of
plants in an attempt to find the agent
which converts the carbon diOXide in
the air and the moisture into plant
products.
When the secret is discovered-and
of it's early discovery he is confident
he said he would possess an unlim-
tied source of energy. The point he
brought out was that the possession of
that secret would enable man to con-
vert the suns energy to his own use
In INV Jov ha desires
Then it would be possible, he assert
ed, to fill the Sahara desert with plant
life; to grow any plant or fruit so that
it would taste exactly as its grower
wished.

Russia Growing Democratic
As Result of Wars Demands

Samuel Harper, professor of Euro
pean history and Russian institutions
at the University Of Chicago and who
has just returned to the United States
after a four mon'hs' visit to Russia,
says that Russian institutions were be-
coming more democratic since the war
because the bureaus were unable to
handls-tefl vast supplies of provisions,
I-'.0thing and supplies of all kinds for
the armies in the field and had been
obliged to call in the aid of the pro-
vincial councils, the zemstzovs, which
are growing in power every day.
1.-THE Russian government" he said,
sis in favor of American capital being
used to build factories there, but part
of the control must be in Russian
hands. This is to avoid a repetition
of the treatment accorded to the native
working people by the German manu-
facturers before the war. The Ger
mans refused to employ anyone who
did not speak German.

A WISH.
xx>~>>~>%%>@%>>%4

I'd like to be q boy again, care-free
prince of joy again.
I'd like to tread the hills and dales
the way 1 used to do;
I'd like the tattered shirt again, the
Knockers thick with dirt again,
The ugly, dusty feet again that long
ago l knew.
I'd like to play first base again, and
Slivers curves to face again.
I'd like to climb, the way l did,
friendly apple tree,
For, knowing what I do today, could
I but wander back and play
I'd get full measure of the joy that
boyhood gave to me.
I'd like to be a lad again, young
ster, wild and glad again,
I'd like to sleep and cut again the
way 1 used to do;
I'd like to race and run again and
drain from life it's fun again
And start another round of joy the
moment one was through.
But care and strife have come to me,
anu ollSu utlJS I'll Siuili ~ AAAS'
And sleep is not the thing it was
and food is not the same;
And I have sighed and know that l
must journey on again to sigh,
And 1 have stood at envy's point
and heard the voice Of shame.
I've learned that joys are fleeting
things, the parting pain each
meeting brings;
That gain and loss are partners
here, and so are smiles and
tears;
That only boys from day to day can
drain and fill the cup of play,
That age must mourn for what is
lost throughout the coming
years.
But boys cannot appreciate their price
less joy until too late
And those who own the charms
had will soon be changed to
men;
And then they, too, will sit, as I, and
backward turn to look and sigh
And share my longing, vain, to be
care-free boy again.-Edgar A.

Characteristics of Any
Nation Are Displayed in
Naminu of Its BattIeships

One of the ways nationalities have
of displaying their peculiarities is in
the naming Of their battleships. The
United States, systematic and bust
nesslike, goes to work and uses up all
the names of it's states to paint on the
sides of it's greyhounds of the sea.
Great Britain, self-appointed mis-
tress Of the waves, does not propose to
have that majesty challenged. So she
goes ahead and defies the world with
such hair-raising names Of Revenge,
Indomitable, Inflexible, Invincible, I'm
placable, Indefatigable, Victorious,
Glory, Vengeance, Valiant, Conqueror,
Monarch, Thunderer, Colossus, Her
cules, Jupiter, Mars. Caesar, Hannibal,
Lion, Tiger and so on.
Germans adhere quite decently to
names of places-places in the father
land, Of course, thus proclaiming the
characteristic national love Of the
home country.
France full of love Of freedom and
the things which make for human hap
piness, finds her most characteristic
WarShlp names In words which trans
lated would be Truth, Justice, De-
mOcracy, Republic.
Italy, adorer of her great men in
craftsmanship, war, science and the
arts, names war boats after Colum-
bus, julius Caesar, Andrea Doria,
Conte di Cavour, Leonardo da Vinci
and Dante Alighieri.
To be convinced that these customs
of christening are peculiarly national
one needs only to shuttle some of these
names. Imagine us in America stand
ing for battleship named Indefatiga-
BILE. Or imagine the name of Sweet
est Shakespeare" emblazoned on the
prov of one of England's glowering
fortresses of the sea.-St. Paul Pioneer

and was grieved by the sight of the
ragged boys who ran wild about the
Quays. He set himself the task of
rescuing them. Finally, he hit upon
the right scheme.
A hot potato was wonderful deli
cacy for these youngsters. John

tatoes to boys who would come to him
and be taught to read and write. Often
he was seen pursuing boy along the

An Aviator's Audacity.

The audacity and GOODNESS which
so strongly characteriZes the exploits
of the aviators in the war, is illus
trated by the following anecdote: A
Belgian aviator who had just de-
scended with his clothes riddled with
bullets, was questioned by his friends
as to the results of his expedition.
II was in their lines" he said, with
view to taking photographs, when
I was charged by a Fokker with two
machine guns. 1 was unarmed. He
pursued me. Well, 1 could make no
other reply to him, so photographed
him."

DESSERT OF Merit
cHARLoTTES EASY TO MAKE AND
WILL BE LIKED.
Sponge Cake the Foundation of Deli
cacy That Is Worthy of Place
on Every Luncheon or
Tea Table.

Charlottes are easily made, and as
they can be varied widely, they are
worth serving often. The foundation
of charlotte is case of sponge cake
filed with whipped cream.
Lady fingers or small sponge cakes
cut in two, or slices of sponge cake
cut in narrow strips, can be used for
the case. The sponge cake, in what
ever form, can be placed as a lining
to a glass dessert dish, or it can be
placed in individual dessert glasses.
Lady fingers can be split and piled
log-cabin fashion and the cream put
into them. Or the sponge cake can
be put around the sides and bottom
of mold and held in place with a
little liquid gelatin. When the gela-
tin hardens the cream is put in.
This combining gelatin and sponge
cake and whipped cream leads to
much variety. Lemon, orange, wine
and grape juice jelly are delicious used
in this way.
AS for the charlotte filling Of
whipped cream, that, too, can be va
ried. Stiff egg whites can be folded
into whipped cream to increase the
bulk and make the mixture lighter if
desired.
The cream should not be sweetened
too highly. 1t can be favored simply
with vanilla.
Candied fruits can be cut into tiny
shreds and mixed in the whipped
cream.
Orange pulp cut into bits can be
mixed with sweetened whipped cream.
Stewed figs can be cut into small
bits and mixed with the filling for q
charlotte.
Fresh berries of any sort almost,
especially strawberries and red rasp-
perries, can be mixed into the cream
for a charlotte russo.
A big sponge cake can be followed
out inside and the charlotte filling
piled into the cavity.
Many desserts have interesting his
tories. This is one of them. But no.
body is sure of its history. The
French claim that Charlotte de Med
lei either originated this dessert or
that it was named for her, and the
English say it is namesake Of Char
iotte, queen of George III.
