Cable Stations on Small islands.

Cable Stations on Small lsIanda
The longest continuous stretch Of
submarine cable now working. that 10.
without relay. is 3.458 nautical miles
that from Vancouver to Tanning island
In the Pacific. and the average dis.
lance without relay Is much less than
that. It Is evident, therefore. that
on the long transoceanic cables such
as those across the Pacific. islands
must be found for relay stations. This
explains the rivalry Of certain Of the
European nations for the possession
Of small, solitary islets. scarcely more
than mere rocks, and useless except
for just such a purpose as this. This
was the reason for Germany's acqui-
sition Of the Caroline and Marianne Is
lands and later Of n Of the Samoa
group, at the time of Dur war with
Spain. Similarly Great Britain Is to
be found in possession Of conveniently
islands all over the world.

Great minds planned me.

Brotherhood.

Brotherhood should be as high as
our love to God, deep as u love for
ourselves, and as broad as the human
family.
Brotherhood Is not a hobby, but a
kinship, privilege and responsibility.
Men today are eager and hungry for
the great redeeming truths expound.
ed in a warm human and brotherly
way.
brotherhood Is not a vagrant eddy,
but a tidalt force moving with the
strade Winds Of the spirit.

THE TEST
BY JOHN BROWN JEWETT
Of the vluUantes,

This is your crisis, this your hour:
Earth's oceans and Its shores
Hold but n place of portent power.
One duty-it is yours.
Think not to hide amid the crowd
That covers land and sea;
The voice of Fate is calling loud;
Look to him. world-'tis he!"
Yes. you-no other. None are born
To do what you must do;
Not beaten captain waits such scorn
For failure. as must you.
It Is the test, the fine one;-
Shall king or people reign?
Who r the people? There are none
II m Is called in vain.
On you the sorrow. blood and cost.
The glory or the shame.
II freedoms cause today is lost,
You only are to blame.

Vegetable Oils Supply
sl Much Needed Fats
By RIppY BYE.

In normal times the table fats and
cooking fats used in American homes
were almost entirely animal fats and
were obtained from two sources-cat-
tie andhogs.
As population concentrated in cities
the home rendering OF fat disappeared,
and the demand began to exceed the
supply SO rapidly that animal fats did
not meet the supply and a new fat
source-vegetabIe fats and oils had to
be developed.
TO render vegetable oils fit for COM
meTcih and table use the seeds and
fruits from which they are made must
be freed from disagreeable devors,
doors. dirt, by-products, and all harm
full continents. This involves clean
ing the seeds or fruits ard subjecting
them to hydTaulic pressure. The most
familiar and best of the vegetable oils
are classified in five main types.
I-oLLVE OIL, one CT the purest
fats known, is obtained by subjecting
ripe oliyes to pressure. The only re-
filming necessary Is filtration to re
move the bits of pulp, stem or leaves.
In America it Is used chiefly for salad
oil dressings. but is increasingly in Ia
vor FOR cooking
u.-coTToNsEED OIL in the crude
form is a dark-red oil obtained by
ncayy PRESSURE on the seeds OF the cot
ton Plant IN refining it is treated with
caustic aIEaii, fuller's eaTch, is distilled
with steamf and treated By other pro-
cesses which modify the color, door,
an dtastes that when ready for cook
ing or table use it Is pale yellow in
color and has mild, pleasant flavor.
Often It is mixed with suetS and other
hard animal fats to give them soft,
Iard-lf5e consistency.
u.-PEANJT OIL is used in Eu-
rope extaa=ively both for cooking and
tai7;e use but IN America its use is still
largely confined to salad OIL When
the cold press method is used the pea
nut flavor is not noticeable. New
methods OF refining have lately been
developed and the refined oil Is now
most destTabie for use,-more expen-
siTe than. cotton seed oil and less ex-
pensive than olive oil.
V.-CnCCANUT OIL. crude, is pre-
pared by pressing the dried meat Of
cccoa1uts. or copTa, and in tropical
countries It is the staple cooking tat.
The refined oil is without much taste
or odor, and when in solid form is
white. It may be obtained in various
degrees Of hardness-from the solid fat
to the thin oil and Is hence very use
full for cooking purposes.
v.-CoRN OIL is prepared from the
germ ofthe corn grain, a by-product OF
the manufacture Of cornstarch and
glucose. Corn oil is now refined and
makes a satisfactory cooking and ta-
bic oil. Experiments prove that mix

Negro Deserter
Brings Another
$50 to Marshal
He Thought to Hide From
Uncle Sam; VIII Have a
Long Time to be Sorry

We often wonder why some negroes
are such fools, and we may say some
whites, also, for there are incidents of
both trying to dodge service in the
army after having been called-and it
always brings them a great deal of
trouble.
Robert Crumpton, a big healthy ne
gro, was called in the draft, but
thought he could dodge it by going out
on a sponge boat and not coming
ashore. He was declared a deserter
and reward of $50 is offered for ap-
pretending deserters. Marshal Jones
wanted the negro, and, no doubt, the
fifty also. So he and Bob Meyer went
down in motor boat, when it was
learned the negro was on board a
schooner which had anchored inside
the light, and brought him back. Mar
vel Whitehurst, the sheriff, came up
yesterday and took the negro to
Clearwater, where he will likely be
sentenced to many years of hard work
in some army prison camp.
When Uncle Sam wants man in
his army no sensible man will try to
