SIMPLY PERFECT IN THEORY
Kitchen Management Left Nothing to
Be Desired, Except the Prosaic
Fact of Cooking.

An experienced housewife, who has
never taken any other course in do
nestle science than that afforded by
wrestling many years with the prob
lem of three meals a day, felt much
interested when her college-bred daugh-
ter told her that she was going to
spend the weekend with a friend who
was the last word In the highbrow
world Of the cooking specialist.
Mother, 1t was wonderful" ex-
claimed the girl on her return. "On
one side Of her white tiled laboratory
she doesn't call it a kitchen-there
Is the ~dishwashing machine and on
the other the long tables for the con
structive work. The arrangements
are perfect, and everything is clean
and shining. I'm just crazy about it.
Not a bit like our h~aphazard kitchen"
"And I presume the food was equally

Robert Burma.

Burns Is the singer Of songs as i'm
mortal as love, pure as the dew Of
the morning, and sweet as it's breath;
songs with which the lover wOos his
bride and the mother sOOthes her
child, and the heart Of a people beats
with patriotic eXultation; songs that
cheer human endeavor and console hui
man sorrow and eXalt human life. We
cannot find out the secret of their pow

sweet or the dew-drop pure. or the
rainbow beautiful, we cannot know
why the poet is the best benefactOr
of humanity. If we were forced to
surrender every expression of human
genius but one, surely we should re-
tain poetry; and if we were called to
lose from the vast accumulation of lit
eraturc all but Il score Of books. among
that choice and perfect reminder

WAR WON, BUT NOT ENDED
Gronna Says Readjustment Days
Need Aid Of Every Citizen.

Statement by United States Senator
AISLE J. 0ronna, of North Dakota:
"The war has been won, but has not
ended. The days Of readjustment will
demand the cooperation and intelli.
gent aid Of every loyal American citi,
zen. Money must be raised to defray
war bills which will worry the guar.
dams OF the nations financial destiny
for some time to come.
Patriotic, constructive aid can be
rendered the Government now by ever
the smallest wage Garner, and In such
a me as to make his patriotic eff.
fort a boomerang Of good fortune. The
Government is urging American citi.
zens to continue the purchase Of Wa
Savings and Thrift Stamps and other
Government securities, to help raise
money to defray expenses which at
present are even heavier than those
which arose while the wal was on. Our
financial stability must be maintained,
our credit must remain unimpaired.
II heartily approve of the Govern.
ment's plan to spread the gospel OF
thrift In every home throughout the
land. The purchase Of War Savings
and Thrift Stamps is a practical man.

Rock That Floats.

James e. Grieve Of Prospect. Jack.
son county. Ore, has a formation Of
rock on his property which will float.
Mr.. Grieve claims that floating rock
Is not uncommon In his vicinity. the
superstition being that II Is the rock
from the eruption when Crater lake
was formed, that body Of water being
about 80 miles from his property. The
rock resembles pumice stone and
pieces Of 1t can be seen floating around
on the ponds. Regarding this strange
rock Mr.. Grieve says:
ITO appreciate this enormous erup-
ton 0ne should visit Crater Lake
park and the surrounding country,
which Is being made more accessible
and attractive every year by extern
sive road and trail work under dlrec-
tion Of the war department"

Valuable Stamp Collection.

The first set of stamps In the $1,000
600 collection which the late Henry ].
Duveen accumulated In less than 80
years, was purchased by Mr.. Duveen In
an attempt to induce his son Godfrey,
to take up the hobby. When the son
evinced no interest In the stamps, his
father, who knew little about the Gu
rios, bought another packet for him.
self, and becoming fascinated with the
pursuit, continued his purchases until
his collection grew to be n OF the
four finest In the world. 1t Is said
that the late j. PierpOnt Morgan tried
In vain to purchase the collection.
The love for his stamps which Mr..
Duveen displayed may be judged from
the care he took Of them. 1t Is said
he kept his collection, during the lat
ter years Of his life. in a room espe-
cially prepared for them In a fashion
able New York hotel. He paid SO q
day for the room and employed a spe-
cial secretary to care for his treasures.

FORCING GROWTH OF PLANTS
Intelligence OF Man 10 Enabling Him
to Become Master Of Nature snd
tho Seasons.

BY degrees man is becoming mas.
ter of the seasons. Light and elec-
tricity are being pressed into his serv-
ice, and he can already force on plant
growth so rapidly that he can beat
the ordinary process of Nature by
many weeks.
One method Is to treat seed. be-
fore planting 1t, with small doses OF
h%igh-tension electricity. In 1910 a trial
was made Of this method near Burn
ham-on-C Crouch, In Essex, England.
Spring wheat is usually sown In March
or April. On this occasion the wheat
Of which the seed had been treated
by this special process, was not sown
until July 10. 1t was up In five days,
and on September 16 was n ear. It
was reaped II weeks from the time II
was sown, whereas the ordinary time
for wheat to mature in that country
Is Is weeks.
Another method Of forcing crops Is
10 run q current Of electricity through
overhead wires. In this way the yield
of oats and beans has been nearly dou-
bled. Experiments tried last year Mt
Lincluden Mains farm in Dumfries-
shire, were practically successful. A
third method Is to use artificial light.
either electric or. better still, acety-
lene. Plants are thus made to grow
by night as well as by day. Cabbages
and lettuce are easily forced In this
way, but other plants such as carrots,
seem to resent 1t. Flowers bloom ear
lier under artificial light, and are more
brilliant.

tunity TO save OF any OF the worlds
nations. We have food, clothing and
money-all the good things IN life
But we must make the basis Of this
prosperity secure. Saving makes the
future prosperity of the individual
safe. At the same time II supplies
money to the Government with which
the whole national structure can be
so strengthened that we will not have
to lose or forego our general pros
perity.
with these appeals there is also the
fact that America must loan money
to other nations IL those nations are
to continue to buy goods in the United
States and by so doing give steady
employment to our industrial and
agricultural workers. During the war
while we were supplying the world,
our production expanded tremendous
ly. We must hold those foreign mar
kets II we are to keep up that produc-
ton rate. We must hold foreign mar.
kets or undergo such a slackening In
manufacture and agriculture that
every individual will suffer.
Much Of the money loaned through
investment in War Savings Stamps
will go to meet the overwhelming war
expense which remains to be paid.
Much of the rest will go to foreign
nations as credits with which they
can buy of us and keep the home

A Permanent Force.
The War Savings societies formed
this year will probably become An in
c~reasingly important factor in financ-
ing the United States when the per-
Tod for Liberty Loans has passed. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Rogers, the Treasury
Department plans to make the socie-
ties permanent so far as possible and
to keep War Savings Stamps on sale
as a means whereby every individual
can save with security at the same
time that he Is adding to the Govern.
ment's income. Not the least advan.
tage OF such a plan will be a material
reduction Of taxes in coming years In
so far as the total of many small saw.
ings defrays the heavy national ex.
pense we must carry as a result OF
the war.

TRUTH OF CLOCKS SOUNDS
Real Reasons Why Large Timepiece Is
Always Considered to De Saying
Tick. TcCk."

Why do we always regard a clock
as saying tick. took" and not tick,
tick" like a watch? Is there really
any distinction between the alternate
sounds. or is il a matter Of pSychol-
ogy? Attention to the problem has
been given by an investigator, whose
conclusions are most interesting.
The general opinion, according TO
him, has always been that it was mere.
ly n matter Of chance whether the
"tick" accompanied the left and the
"tock" the right beat Of the pendu-
lum or vice versa. The first impor-
tant discovery this authority made was
that the "tick" always marks the mo-
ment when the pendulum reaches the
extreme point of defamation from the
perpendicular on its beat TO the right,
while the reaching Of its swing limit
to the left is marked by the "tOck" in
.pendulumS of all lengths. He found
that owing to the fact that the anchor
of the escapement mechanism is above
the rotating escapement wheel and in
the same plane with it, the conditions
under which its arms strike the cogs
of the wheel are not the same for
both arms.
One Of the arms Of the anchor
strikes q cog of the wheel moving up
ward, In a direction opposed to that
Of the anchor, while the other arm
strikes against the cog while it is
moving downward, nearly in the same
direction as the anchor. The result
of the unequal conditions under which
the two arms of the anchor engage
the cogs of the escapement wheel Is
naturally an acoustic difference in the
sounds produced by the contact of the
parts.

Back somewhere around 1880 was

Of the things he did to prove himself

he slipped oil at $50 degrees, and lived
long enough to rub a red-hot fire shovel

then lived some more.
Some few years later. on a challenge
