shevism On Trial." the moving picture
against which the Department OF La
Dor asked Federal action, members oi
the departments information diVis'
ion made no objection to the release
Of the picture.
The objection made by the Depart
ment OF Labor was not to the picture

soldiers il necessary to tear them
down. To this suggestion, the De-
partment OF Labor objected as being
likely to cause disturbance, and the
Department OF Justice was asked to
bring Federal action against the pic
ture, il IL was the intention to ad-
dertise in this way.
Immediately upon publication O
accounts Of the Governments action,
Harry Chandlee, co-author Of the pho
toplay with Thomas Dixon, represent
ing the producers, and J. L. McCor-
mick, office manager of Select Pic
lures. Washington branch, represent
ing the releasing company, called at
the Department of Labor. explaining
that their principals were not respon-
sible for the suggested advertising,
and asking that the picture be re-
viewed by officials of the department.
Late Saturday afternoon, the film
was shown at Keith Theater to Roger

ton and education division, Depart
ment of Labor; James P. Roberts

George Broadhurst is not a bit SUI
perstitious, and yet, by a strange
uuirk of coincidence. the figures 16
seem an integral part OF his career.
For instance, there are sixteen let
ers in his name. He was born on
the 18th Of the month. The number
Of the house in which he was born is
sixteen. He came to this country
when he was sixteen years Of age. He
signed a contract with OctaVus Roy
Cohen. taking the dramatic rights OF
Nr. Cohen's book, ''The Crimson
Alibi," on February 16, 1919, and the
year totals sixteen letters. He
finished the dramatization of the

BUTCHERING AND
 CURING PORK (Continued from last week. Rendering Lard

The leaf lard was cut into one inch cubes and placed in a kettle with enough water to keep from burning until heat was sufficient to bring out the grease. The kettle was kept over a moderate fire until the l cracklings were brown and light enough to float. Frequent stirring was necessary to pre- vent burning. When the fat was all melted he kettle was remov- ed from the stove and allowed to cool slightly. The fat was strained thru cheese cloth into quart cans and then stirred un- I til it began to solidify in order to whiten it and make it smoother.
 Sausage
 The lean trimmings were run thru a meat grinder and mixed with fat in proportion three to one, after adding sage, nutmeg salt and black pepper. The sausage was then made into patties and cooked and put away in an earther11 crock under hot lard.
 The following proportions were used in making pork sausage:
 One pound fat, 3 pounds lean meat, 2 table spoons salt one half tablespoon black pepper 2table spoons ground sage.
 Mix fat and lean in meat chopper, add seasoning. Pass thru chopper again. Place in jar and cover with lard
 Vessels for curing
 Hardwood barrels, earthern crooks or wooden buckets may be used for curing meats.
 An empty Coca-cola barrel which may be purchased at any drug tore, will hold 100 pounds of meat and ordinary candy pails hold 30 pounds of meat.
 Curing Agents
 Iue recipe LOT OT1He cure IS as follows. For 100 pounds of meat use:
 --5 gallons boiled water,-- 10 pounds of salt, --2 ounces of salt peter, --- ---3 pounds of sugar. ----
 The ingrediens were dissol. we'd slowly in warm water and allowed to cool The next day it was poured over the meat.
 The more snugly the meat is packed the less brine it will take. The meat. was cov- cred with ordinary plate and weighed down with clean rock (don't use iron it will rust The hams were left in brine cure four days for every pound in weight. After sufficient curing they were removed to smoke house.

POTATO DEGENERATION
DIAGNOSED AS DISEASE

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
wallis, July 17.-Disease and not
running out" of seed stock Is at
the real bottom of the potato de-
generation troubles that reduce the
crop to little potatoes and few in a
hill, according to the findings OF
the international potato disease con-
ference recently held at Long Islapd,
New York.
"Altho the parasites of these dis
eases have not been isolated, evi-
Aence that they exist as the cause
W conclusive says Prof. II. P.
Barss. plant pathologist of the ex-
pertinent station and representative
of Oregon at the conference. Leaf
roll and mosaic have been observed
by growers and inspectors, but
they were considered unimportant
physiological conditions instead of
symptoms OF serious diseases"
II was found that leaf roll
troubles are due to an attack on
the circulation channels that con-
duet the carbohydrates made In this
leaf to the tuber, preventing the
translocation of this important sub
stance. Leaves of affected plants
go on celebrating starch during the
day as usual. but the diseased cham
nels have no power to carry the
stored foods down to the tuber dur
ing the night. Hence the leaf Is
over charged with starch, becomes
thickened and finally rolls, giving
rise to the name.
In mosaic the leaves are Of a
notified appearance, evidently due
to injury to the chlorophyl cells.
Hence II Is likely that the leaves
fail to mynufacture carbohydrates
in normal supplies. In both cases
the potato suffers lack of carbo-
hydrates, the principal food mater
lals.
The extent to which these dis
eases damage Oregon seed stock and
how to limit them will be made the
subject of special investigation BY

Piece Of Ancien, Meteor.

Meteorites of indicated great age are
conspicuous by their absence from mu'
scum collections, and It is suggested
that such specimens may disntegrate
and disappear from the rocks within
a relatively short time after falling.
The British museum, however, has late
ly acquired a slice OF somewhat less
than pound from meteorc Iron
that is believed to represent an ancient
fall. The slice Is from one OF two sim
ilar masses that were found In Jnnu-
ary, 1905. within few miles OF Daw-
son, Klondike, and that from their
position deep in the Oldest gravels OF
the district are thought to have rested
there since the Pliocene age or before.
From his study OF the original specl-
mems In the Museum Of the Geologl-
cal Survey at Ottawa, Il. A. A. John
son concluded that they are part OF
single meteorlc shower OF Tertiary
time.
