SPEAK GOOD WORD FoR- PIE
Scientists Give Comfort to ThsssI
Fend Of DsIIeaey That 10 Dis
tInetIy American.

Among the many varieties Of food
that have been attacked on the score
Of indigestibility. etc, pie stands
among the foremost. Laymen, doc
tors. and even philosophers have
warned against the popular pastime
Of pie eating.
Cake. the distant pastry relative, IL
somewhat less likely to form the SUBJ
3ect Of objections from the physiologic
critic. while puddings usually belong
to the immunes. or at least receive
tolerant consideration. The proof Of
the pudding-and why not also the
pie-is in the eating. Accordingly, a
number Of gastro-enterologists at the
Jefferson Medical college, Philadel-
phia, reports the Journal Of the Amer
lean Medical Association, have come
to the defense Of pie by actually de-
termining the gastric response to It
and analogous foods in the healthy
human stomach.
Direct comparison of variety e
pies, cakes and puddings, representa-
tive Of American culinary art on the
same persons indicated that pies
"wsfe handled more readily than
cakes. and puddings somewhat more
readily than either" For those who
can think best in terms Of statistics It
may Be stated that the average gas
tric evacuation time Of digestion Of
puddings was two hours and eighteen
minutes, against two hours and twen-
ty-seven minutes for pies: whereas
cakes followed In the wake with an
average record Of three hours and twe
minutes. Averaging the highest total
acidities, values were obtained for
puddings Of 92, for pies Of 90 and for
cakes Of 90.
There is no occasion to report here
the Insignificant distinctions between
custard pie and lemon meringue, for
example, in their gastric behavior. but
IL must be admitted that mince pie,
30 often regarded as an arch offender
of the digestive tract, requires a
rather long time (from tx to 81
hours) to leave the stomach. The ad-
dition Of Ice cream to a piece Of pie
q unique American combination-does
not increase the burden Of the stom-
ach to any extent, and the conven-
tional apple pie and cheese likewise
give conservatively good report. To
a few persons 1t may be q consolation
to know that angels food cake re-
manned distinctly longer in the stou-
ach than did DEVILS food cake. OF
course, time Of digestibility is not the
sole. complete test Of the dietary
worth Of food.

Alrplans Compass,

An entirely new kind Of compass,
for use on airplanes. is the invention
Of a German named Bamberg. It de-
pends for Its operation upon the cleo
trical resistance Of selenium, which
varies with any change in the in
tensity Of light falling upon It.
The bowl Of the compass contains
two electric bulbs, directly opposite
each other, which throw their rays
through lens whereby the rays are
concentrated upon two selenium cells
mounted on bridge extending across
the top Of the bowl.
The compass may be mounted on the

influences. the position Of Its needle

Dheep-This market has decidedly
improved. Fat stock was in good de-
mand and the offering sold at steady

lambs sold at 50 and 1926. Best lambs
would probably bring up to 50 and pos:
sibly more. Good stock was quoted

washington.-During the last hvs
years the selling price Of farm land
and improvements In the United States
Increased 66 per cent, according to e.
Inmates made BY the secretary Of agri-
culture In his annual report to the
President. Between March. 1919. and
March, 1920. the increase was 21.1.
Although the data for the 1920 GEN.
sus are not yet available, 1t seems
probable, the secretary said, that
while the average price Of farm land
and improvements per acre Increased
only 20 per cent during the 40 years
from 1850 to 1900 the price in 1920
q two and one-half times that Of 1910
and fve times that Of 20 years ago.
'.The price Of farm lands u one OF
the important factors in the problem
Of farm ownership" said the secre-
tary. "It Is estimated that between
March, 1919. and March, 1920. the In
crease In the selling price Of farm
land and improvements was 21.1 per
cent. In the last I'VE years the In
crease has been 66 per cent.
Net Return Lees.
~In some sections the net return on

effected by utilizing pasture land for

to pastures and by discontinuing the

temporarily utilized.
What the War Did.
These changes should be instruc-
tive to those who would reduce the
prices Of farm products BY bringing
into use large areas Of new land. 1t
u clear that II prices had been ex-
traordinarily remunerative to the
farmer compared with the returns on
capital and labor in industry, we
would not witness this reduction Of
the acreage In cultivation, but, on the
contrary, q continued enlargement Of
It. While the war conditions tenn
porarily increased the net cash income
Of the farmer and stimulated q tenn
porary expansion Of the crop area,
this was due in large measure to the
response Of the farmers to the In
slstent call for more food. particularly
wheat and rye, the principal bread
grains. II II Of no small significance
