Trains to Reach
"The Ceiling

In order to train himself for an at
tempt to reach what airmen call "the
ceiling" situated roughly seven and
one-half miles high. and SO break the
worlds height records, M. Jean Cas-:
ale, the famous French airman, who
has held height records, planned o
severe and novel endurance test.
To accustom himself to the low pres
sure and cold at great attitudes, NJ
Casale has constructed special pneu-
matte bell in which he will seat him
self, and, after it has been Theoretically
sealed, the air will be gradually
pumped out until the barometric pres
sure falls to that approximating the
pressure registered near "the ceiling.
At the same time a refrigerating APP
paratus will be set to work and the
bell gradually cooled.
M. Casale says that when he made
his six and one-quarter mile record, he
felt no particular sensation until five
miles high, when he became numb and
could hardly move his limbs. His
hands and feet seemed to weigh about
$50 pounds. Higher still his brain be-
came affected and he felt Indifferent
to all sensations of life or death.
Approaching the six-mile level ne
began to experience loss of memory
and to lose all idea of how to operate
the motor and steering gear. At this

A Little Talk
on Thrift
BY s. W.straus, President American
Society for Thrift

BY s. W.Straus, President American
Society for Thrift
A list Of fifty men who are taking
leading parts in the business life of
America shows. that only four of this
number are under fifty. The average
age is sixty-one, while twelve Of the
group are past seventy.
1t is thrift of years to prolong ones
period of usefulness as much as pos
sible. Youth, with its restless ambi-
tons and its unfulfilled dreams, has a
place in the great affairs of men. But
it is a fallacy that the age of fifty
marks the dead-line of accomplish
ment. Comparatively few of the men
who have played prominent parts in
shaping the course of civilization
were known to fame at fifty, and most
of the epochal accomplishments OF
mankind have been brought about
through the power and genius of those
well beyond the half-century mark.
Chauncey M. Depew once said that
Men and women have died because
they have believed what King David
said. You can die any time you like
liz you think hard enough that you
cannot live beyond that time" While
it is true that there are some lines of
work that can be performed only by
young men and young women, it is
a false doctrine Of economics that the
burden of human advancement falls
entirely upon youthful shoulders. No
phase Of thriftiness is as cruel in its
manifestation and as false in its phil
osophy as that which proclaims the
luselessness of so-called old men.
1t is just as much part of thrift
for a man to remain active and use
full to the very last possible day as it
is to conserve money or material re-
sources.
Thrift of time means putting as
many years of accomplishment as pos
sible into the span of ones life as it
means the putting of as many busy
moments as possible into each day.
The man who at fifty has not yet
found his place in the great affairs OF
men need not be discouraged. He
still has his chance. He should learn
| to treasure his mistakes and his fail
ures as a fund Of priceless expert
ences, and with this dearly paid knowl-
edge and wisdom, set forth to accom-
/ plish the great work which he feels
lies within his power. No man ever
| is defeated as long as he still can
kindle the fires of ambition in his soul.
His life may be story Of wasted
years, but this grim fact should prove
only scourge to drive him on to ultt
mate success.
Thrift does not consist alone in
saving money, conserving food anc
wearing made-over clothes. The pro-
Ilongation of the years of ones useful
ness constitutes one of the most
glorious examples of his virtue.
The sum total of human accomplish
|ments will be UNNECESSARILY increased
when humanity learns the profound
lesson Of the thrift of years.
One pupil out of 60 in the United
States eventually graduates from col
|lege.

JAMS AND PICKLES


Some Of the least costly of the sum-
mer and early fall products can be
transformed into delicious tidbits for
the winter table il little time is
given to their preparation. In the
heart of the pear season use up the
less perfect pears in the making OF
pickles. Grapes, too, can be spiced,
and are tasty accompaniment to q
meat dish.
Pear Meat Jelly
IL large pears
/ pound of sugar
Ia cupful of lemon juice
whole cloves
tablespoonful of gelatine.
Pare and quarter the pears and
place in shallow dish with the
sugar, cloves and just enough water
to cover. Stew until tender, but not
broken. Place in small glass jars.
Soften the gelatine in a little cold
water, dissolve in the hot juice of the
pears. Keep in cool place.
Watermelon Pickle
pounds of brown sugar
/ quart of vinegar
IL watermelon rind
& IL tablespoons of cinnamon
tablespoon of cloves
1 tablespoon of allspice.
Pare the rind and cut into inch
pieces. Wash and set aside to drain.
Cook the sugar, vinegar and spices to-
eether and boil for one hour, then
add the melon rind and cook until
tender. Drain off the pieces of melon
and pack into stone crooks. Continue
boiling the syrup for Is minutes, then
pour over the melon.
Grape Pickle
Z pounds of grapes
4 pounds of sugar
4 teaspoons of powdered cloves
teaspoons Of powdered cinnamon
2 cups of vinegar.
Remove the grape skins and set
aside. Boil the pulp until soft, then
strain through a colander into the
skins and other ingredients. Boil for
two hours and pour into hot sterilized
bottles. This makes spicy, seedless,
grape pickle.
Rhubarb Jam
8 pounds of rhubarb
1 pound Of figs
3 pounds Of sugar
lemon, juice and grated rind
IA teaspoon of salt
Ia teaspoon of cloves
/ teaspoon of ginger.
Do not peel the rhubarb. Wash and
cut into inch pieces. Wash and chop
the figs and put with the rhubarb
and half the sugar in a kettle and
let stand over night. In the morning
boil until clear, then add the other
ingredients and cook until thick.
Ripe Tomato Jam
3 pounds or ripe tomatoes
3 pounds of sugar
2 lemons
1 teaspoon of ginger
IA teaspoon Of salt.
Scald the tomatoes and peel, then
cut in half and remove the seeds.
Cook for two hours with other in
gradients, skimming and stirring fire.

elderly Scotsman who persistently re-
scented an innovation in the service.
A generous and wealthy member, OF
the congregation, thinking 1t would
be desirable to have the lesson read
from a lectern instead Of from the
prayer desk, presented the church
with, handsome brass one in the
form Of an eagle. The minister, how
ever, did not take kindly to the lee
tern, and declined to use it the first
morning. but toward evening he re-
Tented, and at the close of the service
he astonished and entertained his con-
gregaton by colemnly making the fol.
lowing announcements: II give notice

felt so poorly that could hardly do
my work. My food seemed to do me
little good, if any, as my digestion

strength continually. -..--::-
."After every meal there was dull,
nagging pain in the pit Of my stom-
ach that kept me feeling miserable
for hours. 80.
'tThe gas from my sour, undigested
food would, bloat me up terribly and
my nerves were so upset that I would
lie awake half the night unable to
sleep. I was constantly having blind

over and straighten up quickly but
what everything seemed as dark as

he couldn't have done me a greater
kindness.

Africans Attitude Toward Work.

The African male has peculiar ideas
of his own dignity where work is con-
cerned. He will work for white man
but he will never do anything for him
self if there are any women about. 1t
is beneath his dignity to work. He will
fish and hunt, make nets and crude i'm
plements and canoes, or pass away his
time smoking strong tobacco and doz-
ing, but he would not think of lending
his wife a helping hand. He compels
her to cut down the trees for, firewood
and for his dugout canoes, and when
they arrive at the spot in the forest or
Jungle where he decides to build his
town the women must clear away the
tangled forest. To civilized minds tree
telling, wood carrying and jungle clear
ing are certainly laborious work for
women, hut an African woman knows
nothing else, yet hers are much more
healthful tasks than the white wom'
ans.
