 The situation is such, however that there is need os increasing our facilities for manufacturing ord nance and equipment. The Allies heed all we can turn out now While we probably would not ally ourselves with the countries now fighting Ger many, and would act independently, officially, in the conduct of the war, we should attempt to avoid handi- capping the Allies by divertlng their supplies to our own uses. That means turning every industry that can man ufacture munitions and is not now doing so into q munition producing agency under government control,

CHRISTMAS CANDIES
FOR THIS YEAR

by Geneva Conway, specialist in
Home Economics, division of extension
University of Tennessee, Knoxville.)
Let us make molasses candy this
year from sorghum or corn syrup: One
cup corn syrup, one cup sorghum; one
teaspoon vinegar; one-half teaspo' {,
soda. Boil until it forms a hard ball
when placed in cold water. Pour on a
creased platter and pull when cool
enough.
Popcorn Balls-Three quarts pop
ped corn; one cup sorghum; n cup
corn syrup; one tablespoon butter; one
half teaspoon salt. Pop corn; pick
over discard grains not popped;) put
in large kettle. Melt butter in sauce
pan and add molasses and syrup; bring
to the boiling point and let boil until
mixture becomes brittle when tried
in cold water. Pour mixture gradual
ly, while stirring constantly, over corn,
which has been sprinkled with salt.
Shape into balls, using as little pres
sure as possible.
Popcorn Balls, Using Sorghum and
Syrup.-Cook equal parts of syrup
and sorghum until a Titled ropped in
cold water will crack. Pour yer the
popped corn and form into balls. Sor-
ghum and corn syrup mixed gives a
better flavor than sorghum alone.
War Fondant.-uook one or two
white potatoes in boiling water until
thoroughly done. Take up quickly and
press through a sieve or vegetable
press. Add a little butter and beat
until very light and creamy, and
slightly cooled. Add powdered sugar
until the mixture is thick enough to
knead like bread, color a very delicate
color and flavor any desired flavor,
adding nuts or raisins if desired. Shape
in any desired molds. This makes a
very good fondant and a greater bulk
is obtained, due to the presence of the
potatoes. There is no definite proper
ton. Use enough sugar to mako a
mixture stiff enough to work. It will
generally take one-half cup potato to
three cups sugar. If the potatoes are
put on the stove in cold water they will
be soggy and it will take more sugar.
War Fudge-Cook n or two sweet
potatoes in boiling water until thor
oughly done; press through a sieve;
add a little butter; beat until light.
Cook two cups Of brown sugar in a
half cup of water until it forms a
hard ball when dropped in cold water.
Add slowly the mashed potatoes. Stir
until thoroughly mixed and let cook
until it forms a soft ball when drop

JACOB JONES WAS LARGEST YES
Sell OF ITS CLASS.

Philadelphia, Dec, S.-The Torpedo
boat destroyer, Jacob Jones, the larg-
est United States vessel Of it's class,
was built at the New York Ship Build
ing Company plant in Cambridge, N.
]. 1t was launched in May, 1915, but
was not actually turned over to the
government until February 10, 1916.
The Jacob Jones was 315 feet 8
inches over all, 30 feet 6 IL inches
beam, II feet 7 IL inches in depth.
and had a draft of 9 feet 8 1-2 inches.
Her trial displacement was 1850 tons
and her speed 20 IL knots per hour.
The destroyer burned oil and had a
fuel capacity of 200 tons. She was
able to develop $1,000 horsepower.
Two attempts were made to destroy
the Jacob Jones.
The first attempt was made in Feb
ruary while off the Delaware capes
and the second a few days later, either
at the Philadelphia navy yard or while
she was coming up the river bound for
the yards.

THE STATES-GRApHIC
PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY
CONGRESSES ALL.

Well. congress is at it again. AS
from time immemorial, legislators are
putting out their chests and talking
of their constituents back home as if
they were thereby comforting some ia
vor upon these Constituents" But
the folks at home don't need it. They
form the real congresses. Such are
sprinkled all across the land. The
group of farmers perched among crack
er boxes in the country store is the
conclave most often described in fc-
ton. Yet it is not fiction itself, but a
very real and vital assemblage in
which lots of future laws are framed.
Then there's the very dissimilar but
equally wide-awake congress which as
sembles every weekday morning at a
thousand and one suburban railway
stations to wait for the 1852 or the 8:14
into town. Despite the jokers, those
feminine gatherings called sewing cir
cles are often more than mere gossip
mills. To get down to smaller groups,
there is the father and mother of
seven children, from the senior home
iror. college to the toddler, all seated
round the supper table discussing the
war and wondering how they can best
help. They would be surprised if you
called them a congress, but that is
what they are. And so are the newly
weds, beaming at each other in their
installment-plan flat. Thus it goes.
In congressional halls at Washington
are many titles and much hubbub and
attitudinizing. Meanwhile the folks in
the little congresses back home are
saving wood.-Collier's.

WELDING TO FADDISTS.

Every now and then there is a tenn
pest in a teapot over what is taught in
the New York schools. The trouble
with the educational system of that
city, and the same applies pretty
much all over the country, is that the
fundamental theory Of true education
has been abandoned. Formerly the
schools were expected only to train the
child's mind. Studies like mathemat-
les and language were given largely in
order to develop the capacity of logical
thought. The school ought to be the
gymnasium of the mind, as another
kind of gymnasium is expected to train
the body. Just as we only in very
rare instances need ever to use the
muscles trained for the trapeze or hor-
izontal bars again in the same way,
but adapt them to any necessity which
arises, so the trained mind may new
err need again to solve a problem in
algebra or translate a book Of Latin,
but the habit of concentration and rea-
soning developed in the mastery of
these branches enables the mind to

ORIGIN OF CHRISTMAS
EXCHANGE OF GIFTS

The custom of exchanging gifts at
Christmas is derived from the Romans
who made presents to one another
during the Saturnalia, a festival which
was instituted about 497 B. C. The o.
Ject was to commemorate the equali-
ty which prevailed on earth during the
golden reign of Saturn. Regardless,
however of its origin, the Saturnalia
was a season of remarkable freedom
and license; and it led to such loud
demonstrations and foolish actions on
the part of persons who were ordinari-
ly supposed to have dignity that it was
later referred to as the feast Of fools.
This accounts somewhat for the fact
that not long after this celebration be-
came an established custom, laymen
made an effort to have cantatas and re-
fined pantomimes take the place of this
extraordinary festival. For a period
of several days, or even weeks, slaves
were freed, business was stopped for
the time being /; people were freer of
speech than at other seasons; war was
suspended; schools were closed; and
children were allowed greater privi-
leges than they might crave through
out the year. Citizens of all classes
went about in queer and fantastic eos
tunes, often wearing masks and fancy
attire, and carrying gifts to their
friends. The value Of these gifts de-
pended upon the citizens station in
life, and ranged from shiny baubles
and trinkets of glass to boxes of pre-
cious enamel and native art treasures.
The idea of Father Christmas" is
taken from the Priapus of Virgil and
Petronius. He is represented as a

meet any question in life which comes
up.
The common mistakes made in
schools, are, first, the effort to load the
mind with knowledge, and second, to
make the course easy. This doesn't
mean that the requirement of some
branches of knowledge of a useful ma
ture may not also be cultural, but the
tendency of modern schools is to yield
to faddists of one kind or another who
succeed in loading the curriculum at
the expense of real cultural studies.
Then an easy course is always the one
which does least in mental develop
ment. The mind, just like the body,
must have hard work to reach its pos
ibilties.-Chattanooga News.
