HAS MANY VALUES
Yucca One of the Most Priced Of
Earth's Productions.
Important Article Of Diet Among
South American Indians Should
Find Ready Appreeia-
ton Here.

If the war had lasted much longer
no doubt we would have been using
real Indian flour by now-fOur made
from the yucca. or manioc or cassava
plant-a tropical shrub which grows
to height Of six feet. Herbert J.
Spinden of the staff Of the American
Museum Of Natural History, who has
spent much time in Central and South
America. recently described the yuea
and its value as food.
Manioc flour, he said, Is made from
the root of the manioc. It is probably
the principal food Of the Indians of
the wet -lowlands of South America,
and is Also much used In the West In
dies. Two species Of manioc are
known, Of which one contains hydro
cyanic acid, q poisonous juice which
has to be extracted by a special proc
ess. while the other Is non-poisonous.
This latter variety is, however. gen.
orally considered to furnish an infe-
rior meal, and is used chiefly as a
fresh vegetable.
In making manioc flour. the very
juicy roots of the plant, which some
what resemble sweet potatoes in
shape. are grated according to Italian
fashion on a board set with rock cryS-
tails. The grated meal must then be
subjected to high pressure in order to
drive off the poisonous juice. The
Indians accomplish this by stuff1ng the
meal into basket tube. which is then
stretched out so that its volume Is de-
creased. Really tremendous pressure
Is exerted by this simple machine.
The poisonous fluid Is drained through
the basket-work into pottery vessels.
The meal is then taken out Of the
tube and used chiefly for making thin
waters. often of large size, which are
slightly Drowned on either side by bak-
ing on griddles. These cakes will
last for long time and are consid-
cred excellent food.
But 1t is the general utility of this
plant that would truly delight Mr..
Hoover's heart. For besides the flour.
the plant yields an excellent starch, q
condiment, and tapioca-the last
named being the principal article Of
commerce derived from the yucca.
The starch is contained in the poi
sonous juice which is extracted from
the meal. The starch is allowed to
settle in the fluid, which Is then poured
off. In certain places, the manioc
meal Is not subjected to pressure, but
Is thoroughly stirred in water in Or
der to extract the largest possible
amount of starch. Manioc starch.
which commands a higher price in the
tropics than corn starch, is generally
regarded as of the highest quality.
After the extraction Of the starch. the
juice Of the yucca is subjected to heat
sufficient to destroy the poison In 1t.
1t is then used as n condiment (cassa-
reep). This extract, which has a
sharp. peppery quality. has consider
able commercial value. and serves as
a base for certain table sauces and
for the soup known as Philadelphia
pepper pot. Tapioca is obtained by
heating the starch while 1t Is moist.

The lnte Gen-ral Cnarette nad many
he upheld in deed rs we'll as in name
He entered the military service Of
the Papacy during The reign OF Plus
IN. and rose to command a regiment Of
Zouares. recruited almost entirely
from the aristocracy. The regiment
figured !llustriously in the stirring
times that saw the conversion Of Rome
into the capital of United Italy.
1t was in the battle of Castel Fiordc
that the dashing chivalry Of the gen.
eral won laurels that still figure in
the picturesque story Of the Eternal
city. He met in single combat an
italian colonel, while their forces sus-
pended hostilities to watch the out
come. The generals adversary was
carried OF badly wounded, after hav-
ing grasped the hand of his valiant
armies FLASHED in battle. General
Charette was wounded in the battle
of Montana during the hard fighting
that caused nearly all the officers of
his forces to appear on the casualty
list. The general placed his services
at the disposal of his country when
the war broke out between France
and Germany in 1870.
The first wife of General Charette
was daughter of the French ducal
house of Fitzjames. descended from
King James II. Of England. After the
death Of the bride of his youth the
hero won for his second wife the belle
Of Nashville, who was the granddaugh-
ter Of president Of the United States.

In the little Connecticut town of
Norfolk there Is II triangular piece Of
ground belonging 10 the people. For
years II stood useless. almost ahan-
d0ncd. and to n certain extent un-
noticed, Norfolk sent to France early
In 1918 II score and Il half of her boys
To fight with the American armies,
Other boys followed and still more II.
due course were called from the small
but hardy class representing the fight
Ing quota.
4 few months after the first cOntln-
gent marched out Of the town on It's
way to the trimming camp and thence
To the line OF battle, Norfolk began TO
receive It's share Of tidlngs from the
front. Names of boys known to every
u In the town were found In the lists
of those KILLED In action Boys whose
faces were bright and shining and
whose voices were strong and CHEEKY
were never To return. They were lying
In the fields of France. covered with
the earth Of France. and over the
graves OF each stood the small but
noble cross OF wood bearing u name
and II date.
The return of these names to Nor
folk instead of flesh and blood that
went away, gave Norfolk its inspira-
tion. The little green triangle became
"a tract OF glory. No more will 1t be
looked upon a. u waste, no more will
the people of Norfolk call 1t u worth
less bit of ground. For some u
thought OF a way to make 1t rich
some one thought of n way to make It
the most cherished spot In Norfolk.
Tree for Each Hero.
On Flag day In the year that the
war made heroes of these lads from
Norfolk the people Of that place dedi-
Gated the point Of this triangle to the
memory of those who were not to come
back from France. At that time four
OF Norfolk's boys were lying In
France under cheap little crosses Of
wood, and on this day four little
crosses Of wood similar TO those In
France. with a name and a date on
each. were driven In the ground ut
the point Of the triangle. and there
they will stay until they are perhaps
replaced by more enduring and I'm.
pressive marks Of tribute. But the 1T.
tie crosses OF wood are not all that
tho people Of Norfolk placed In the
village triangle In memory Of the boys
who will not come back. Something
that will live and thrive and beautify
the barren triangle vas placed there
Cor each boy. and Il 10 named fes him.

A Fine Example.

The thought Is II beautiful one. That
little triangle in Norfolk viii have
many trees and crosses, the boys who
died In France win live and grow to an
age far beyond the years Of the oldest
of men. The "Iohn Perkins Elm" or
the "Hcnry Smith Oak as the case
may b" will be living in Norfolk 200
years after the day on which they
were So lovingly named by II forgotten
generation.
And how simple, how easy this way
of COMMUNICATING the deeds and the
spirit of the boys who went forth to
the war never TO come home again. A
little cross of wood for the present, a
towering tree for the future, and the
name of II hero preserved for an age
to come.
What better example could he set
for the rest of the country than this
beautiful net Of the people Of Norfolk
Why not In every community, II plot OF
hallowed ground with It's trees bearing
the names of the boys who went out
and did not come back? A living
monument, green and spreading with
the memory of him who fell In battle I;
not the artificial product OF man, but
the incomprehensible handiwork OF
God who first put life into the body
of the boy whose death dlgnities the
community that lost him.
