prepared by the United States Depart

If the male members of the samily
will place three-way brush conven-
iently on the porch and use 1t to clean
the mud from their shoes before they
enter the house, they can save consid-
cradle work for the housewife. This
mud remover Is inexpensive and can
be made at home from three scrub
bling or cleaning brushes, or pur-
chased from most supply houses. 1t
consists of three foot-brooms which are
arranged, one at the bottom and the
other two at the sides, In such a way
that the foot can be. drawn backward
and forward through the device SO
that the dirt and mud will be re-
moved. A strong box of the desired
size, with its ends removed, makes a
good foundation onto the sides Of
which the side brushes and one on the
bottom may be nailed. Obviously no
dimensions switch could be given
would be very useful because the size
must suit that of the shoes to be
cleaned. Since they are so easily con-
structed one could be made for the
men and one for the children, the chief
caution being that the side brushes
should be close enough together to
cause good friction on the shoe as It
is drawn between them. Because Of
the friction taking place the device
should be fastened securely to the
doorstep or other firm foundation. II

ing of piece of metal, were placed
beside the broom device 1t would
prove valuable adjunct.

Explanation Of Humidity.

Humidity, technically speaking. says
the Philadelphia Press. is the amount
of water or vapor moisture in the air.
A given space at given temperature
can contain only a definite amount of
water. III il contains less IL will en-
deavor to fill up by evaporation. II
II contains more the surplus water
will condense. When mass of air
contains all the moisture IL is capable
of holding II is said to he saturated.
The higher the temperature the more
moisture IL takes to saturate the air.
If 1t contains less moisture than
would saturate II at a given tempera-
ture, then the lower temperature at
which this would sufficient for satura-
ton is called the dew point. The per-
centage Of moisture in the air 10 what
II would bold If saturated is called the
relative humidity. Thus. If the air
contains one-half the moisture neces-
sary to saturate K. the relative hui

George III was the last Of the Brit.

the palace where the prince of Wales

eighteenth century guide book to Lon

the side door and slipping shilling
for each person into the hand of the
verger who opens II. you may have
admittance. and stand during divine
service In the presence Of their mai

WHO ARE THE MIDDLE CLASS
Brain Workers Who Are Compelled to
Do Manual Labor to Exc Out
an Existence.

Few forces tend so strongly to pro-
duce social consciousness as griev-
ance. Not SO many years ago one
might have searched the world and
found nobody who would admit he
was Of the middle class, remarks the
New York Times. The term was an
epithet used In derision. AS the mid
die class was vaguely supposed to be
respectable, responsibility itself went
out Of fashion. Today all this is al
tered. People write TO the papers to
say they are of the middle class and
after all is somebody. Yet nobody has
defined the middle class, even the
sOciOlogists and economists, whose
business such things are.
In England w. ii. Mallock gave a
few stray thoughts to the subject and
concluded 1t is middle class to have an
income of some $3.50. Prof. III. T..
Seager stated In America the figure
would have TO be raised TO $1,150. 1t
Is the way Of the elder sociologists to
write as IL the determining factor is
always money. q
Our common sense knows better.
The middle class is distinguished from
the class on its one hand by the fact
that 1t works, not with ones body, but
with its mind. 1t is distinguished from
the class on its other hand by the fact
that, not having sufficient capital to re-
tire upon, II has to work. The middle
class man is a brain worker. who Is
obliged to work or go under. And he Is
obliged to conform to current stand
ards Of responsibility, physically as
well as mentally and morally.
In the nineteenth century the in
come standards had at least a shadow
of justification, for wages and salaries
still maintained some definite relation
ship to the character of work done
and service rendered. Today we have
changed all that and with one notable
result. A large group of people among
us have become class conscious-those.
namely, who do professional work for
less than the pay of a hand laborer.
Mentally and morally they have two
strong props of character-the fact
that the instrument of their labor Is
the mind and the fact that they are
urged on by necessity 10 use il.

The Fathead.

1t surely would be imprudent to adj
dress that formidable creature tho
swordfish as Fathead. yet the term
would be quite appropriate. The heads
of 100 average swordfish will yield
sixty-five gallons of an oil that has
high market value. Refined and sun
bleached, It is indlstinguishable from
whale oil, and fetches the same price.
In fact commercially, II is whale oil.
Whale oil is obtained on a much
larger scale from halibut heads, which
are treated In the same way as the
swordfish heads g., cooked to
pulp with steam and pressed. A short
ton of them will yield 40 gallons Of
oil. Boston and Gloucester (Mass.)
annually produce 1900 gallons OF TO
fined oil from halibut heads.
Away back IN the seventies some.
body discovered that salmon. heads
were rich In oil, and since then the
production of II has been consider
able industry In connection with the,
Pacific salmon fishery. BY 1895 the
annual output had risen to $4,000 gal
Ions.

RATED OXEN ABOVE HORSES
Preferred the Slower but Safer
Method of Locomotion.

THE first horses imported into the
United States were brought TO New
England in 1929 One horse and seven
mares survived the voyage. Horses
were not highly esteemed nor much
needed In America at that time nor
for hundred years afterward. There
were no race courses nor trotting
parks and the roads generally were SO
poor that speed was not desirable had
II been possible with safety, oxen
were found TO be much better for all
farm work.
Most of the land was rough. rocky
and full Of stumps. so that oxen. be-
ing strong. patient and slow. made
much the better team for agricultur-
al purposes and numbering than did
horses. and they were cheaper kept.
needing but little grain even when at
hard work and none at al! when In
pasture. They required no expensive
harness like horses only cheap yoke
and chain, and were quickly yoked.

work room or shed or closet. where
they remove their boots and don slip
pers. The objection to this method is
that too often at the noon hour the
farmer is hurried and neglects to take
the time to make the change.
For use on dairy farms, where con-
siderable work in washing milk cans
and other dairy utensils Is necessary,
the wooden or steel-soled shoe is rec
commended, and is inexpensive enough
so that the average farmer can put 1t
to good use.

should be about one-eighth inch, and
its color should be uniform golden
brown, neither dark brown nor pale
nor fioury. The ideal crust has the
natural bloom Of a well-baked upper
surface. Glossness, due to the use
of egg white, butter or milk as coat
ing, may be considered desirable In
some circumstances, but is not neces-
sary. The qualities sought are ten
derness, crispness and elasticity. A
hard or tough crust would be graded
low.
crumb-30 points. Color, 8 points;
texture, Is points; moisture and
elasticity, 10 points.)
Color-5 points.
The best wheat bread is white or
creamy, not gray.
Texture-15 points.
The size of the pores should be uni
form, circular, or elongated upwards
rather than transversely. Streass, I'M
leavened areas, large holes, and crew
ices help to make the texture of loaf
rank low.
Moisture and EIasticity-10 points.
The crumb Of the loaf should be
soft and sprlngy, not sticky, wet. sog-
gy, or stringy, nor yet dry, harsh, or
crumbly. When the cut surface Is
pressed lightly, 1t should dent easily
and spring back to the level instead
Of refusing to be moved or remaining
permanently dented.
Flavor-30 points.
The ideal flavor Is the slight "nutty"
taste of the well-baked wheat grain.
Sailing should be sufficient, yet not es-
pecially prominent. Any flavor, such
as the rank taste Of poor yeast or of
rancid fat, would make 1t necessary
for Judge to subtract nearly the en-
tire 80 points given to flavor.
Keeping QuaIities--10 points.
Does the loaf keep well for three
days when carefully treated, or does
IL mold, soften, become stringy in the
center, darken, or develop bad flavor
or odor?

Can you make Hotpoint perfect
