COOLEST AIR OVER EQUATOR
Scientist Discovers Interesting Fact
as Result of Experiments in
Upper Air.

Winds blow not merely along the
surface of the earth but upward and
downward throughout the atmosphere.
They whirl about in all directions. So
it is impossible to construct a weather
chart that will really show the direc-
lions of the winds, for such chart
would have to be in three dimensions,
Prof. Alexander McAdie of Harvard,
in an article in the Geographical Re
view, describes some of the recent ex-
periments in the upper air performed
by sounding balloons. The atmosphere
has, roughly. two layers, the lower
called the troposphere and the upper
the stratosphere. The strongest winds
are found just below the stratosphere.
and it would seem that pressure
changes originate in this region.
The stratosphere is highest over the
equator and lowest over the poles, but
it's height varies with the seasons. AT
the equator says Professor McAdie,
las we rise in the air the temperature
continues to fall to much greater
height than in temperate ATTITUDES. In
deed, the lowest temperature is found
above the equator"

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

One tablespoonful of brown sugar
added to two tablespoonfuls of flour
and three of cold water and cooked,
stirring constantly, until creamy,
makes a most excellent paste. Makes
a splendid sizing where wall paper
refuses to stick to a painted wall.
Keep candles on the ice for day
before using on a birthday cake, and
they will burn slowly and evenly.
When dropping muffin dough into
the tins, first dip the spoon into boil
ing water and the dough will not stick
to the spoon.
Place crumbled tissue paper in the
bottom of the jar and your cookies
will keep fresh and crisp.
Dry flour applied with newspaper
Is an excellent and easy way to clean
tinware.
Warm lemons before squeezing them
and twice the juice will be obtained.

! OUR FIRST MEDICAL SCHOOLS
Up to the Nineteenth Century There
Were Only Five Such In
stitutions.

The first medical college in the west
ern part of the United States was
Rush Medical college, founded in Chi
cago in 1887 by DR.. Daniel Brainard.
who was born in Whitesborough, N.
Y, 104 years ago, May Is, 1912. Rush
college commentaries the name of
DR.. Benjamin Rush. who was born
near Philadelphia of Quaker parent
age, in 1745. Doctor Rush served as
an apprentice to Philadelphia physi-
clan for six years, and then completed
his medical education in Edinburgh,
London and Paris. He was a signer
of the Declaration of Independence,
one Of the founders of the first Amer
lean antislavery society and the great
est physician of his day. During the
yellow-fever scourge in Philadelphia
in 1893 he visited more than 100 pa
tents daily. Up to the nineteenth GEN.
fury there were only five medical col
leges in the United States, all in the
East. In 1919 a medical school was
started i'll Cincinnati, and in 1925 the
first institution of this kind in the
South was founded in South Carolina,
the University of Georgia soon follow
ing suit The first medical college
west of the Mississippi was established
in ST. Louis in 1912.

CONNECTIONS MADE AT HOME
Delicious marshmaIIows Require Only
Moderate Amount of Care in
Their Preparation and Serving.

If you wish pure, delicious marsh
mallows, soak two tablespoonful
granulated gelatin In ten tablespoon
fuls of cold water until soft Pour
ten tablespoonful of boiling water
over two cupfuls of sugar, and boil I'M
til it makes a strip which will form
thread when dropped from the spoon.
Remove the strip from the fire and
stir into it the softened gelatin. Let
stand until cool, then add salt and
fiavoring and beat until it becomes
stiff enough to hold its own shape.
Pour the candy into granite pans dust
ed with powdered sugar and let stand
in a cool place until set. Cut in
cubes and roll in powdered sugar.
Chocolate marshmallows are made
either by coating the plain marshmal-
lows with melted, unsweetened choco-
late, or adding melted chocolate to the
marshmallow mixture before cooking.
Chopped nuts or candied fruits may
be stirred into the mixture after 1t
has been removed from the fire. In
stead of vanilla favoring. fruit juice
may be used in place of part of the
water Marshmallows are dainty and
attractive If rolled with grated CO.
coanut before being coated with sugar.

BLUEJAY ENDS CHICKEN FIGHT
Interested Referee Finally Steals
Prize From Hen, Rooster and
Guinea.

A black hen, a game rooster and
guinea hen on the farm of Samuel
Dodd, near the Passaic county line.
discovered and fought for nearly an
hour over a good-sized rat which had
been crippled by the rooster.
Each bird asserted its claim to the
prize in the best way it could. When
the fighting was firing the combatants.
along came a bluejay which settled
the ownership by picking up the rat
and flying into a corncrib.
The farmhands and others who had
watched the battle asserted that the
bluejay's trick entitled the bird to all
the honors that have been heaped up
on the species.

Then the Star IWinkied.

Long had he worshiped her at dis.
lance, but his shyness prevented him
from proposing.
Then, one night, for the sweet sake
of charity, a theatrical performance
took place, in which the charmer was
the leading woman and more adorable
than ever. Afterwards the shy adj
mirer drew near his sweetheart, made
valiant by the sight of her beauty.
You are the star of the evening"" he
said, as they stood alone in corner.
You are the first to tell me SO, y
said the damsel, with happy blush.
Then" he retorted promptly, may
l claim my reward as an astronomer?
The woman looked puzzled
What reward?" she asked.
Why, the right to give my name
to the star l have discovered" the
young man said, speaking boldly at
Iast.-Answers, London.
