DIFFICULT TO HANDLE FORKS
When First introduced, Diners Could
See Little of Benefit In the
Innovation.

It is hard to believe the sensation
produced when forks first came into
use. It was in 1874, at dinner given
by Henry III Of France. Here is an
account by royal lady guest. 1.-THE
guests never touched the meat with
their fingers but with forks, which
they carried to their mouths, bending
their necks and bodies over their
plates.
"There were several salads. These
they ate with forks, for it is not con-
sidered proper to touch the food with
the fingers. However difficult it may
be to manage it, it is thought better to
put the little forked instrument In the
mouth than the fingers.
1.-The artichokes, asparagus, peas
and beans were brought. 1t was a
pleasure to watch them try to eat
these with their forks, for some, who
were less adroit than the others,
dropped as many on their plates and
on the way to the mouth as they were
able to get to their mouths.
"Afterward a great silver basin and
q pitcher Of water were brought and
the guests washed their hands, though
1t seems as If there would not be much
scent Of meat and grease on them, for
they had touched their food only with
those forked instruments. Ladies'

TrIckIng Fate.

Every Hindoo must have son TO
perform the proper rites in his behalf
so that he may be released from pur-
gatory after death. Especially cursed.
therefore, Is he whose fate Is to be
sonless. One such, Brahman, pro-
pitiated the god Vishnu and obtained
a boon. He asked for son, but,
since son was not in the mans fate,
Vishnu refused. Twice this happened,
but the third time the Brahman asked
that his merriments might be shared
by gods and men alike. This was
granted. He then went home, locked
his door and, with his wife, began to
sing and dance. Thereupon, all the
gods and men, by the terms Of the
boon, were compelled to sing and
dance with him, and the business Of
the universe was brought to stand
still. "Stop!" begged the gods. "Only
when you grant me son." answered
the Brahman. And he had his way

GOOD

Highway Educational Work Extending
lta Scope in Various Sections of .
the Country.

The extent to which the people of
the United States are committing
themselves to definite policy of high.
way development is shown by reports
reaching the federal highway council
from all sections of the country
In the face Of high cost for both ma.
terials and labor, and the fact that fiji
some states construction programs
must be altered somewhat to meet ex.
listing labor and material conditions
there is no tendency upon the part of
the people to slow down In their plans
to place the nations highways upon
higher plane in the country's transpor
tation system. Tersely. stated, they
are sold to the heels on the proposi
ton to construct highways that win
release rather than restrict traffic, and
they are dismiss1ng labor and material
problems with curt Instructions to
their official servants that 1t Is up to
them to deliver the roads.
A curious fact in connection WITH
construction problems at the present
moment Is that the building of roads
seriously hindered by the same evil
which they are designed to remove
lack of transportation. According IL
authoritative information, production
is halted to greater degree by made
auate transportation facilities than by
labor shortage. At least this is true,

Where Ice Makes Crops.

We are accustomed to think of
Alaska as a moist part Of the world,
but except in the southern portion it
is rather arid, having q rainfall in
sufficient for the production Of crops.
When an area is first cleared for
planting the soil is moist enough, be-
ing frozen nearly to the surface the
year around. Then the ice in the
ground gradually melts, so that the
first few crops require only slight
rainfall-the melting of the ice furn.
ishing sufficient moisture to the roots
Of the growing plants.
In the course of few years, how
ever, the ice recedes to a depth of six
Or more feet, and this reservoir Of
moisture is no longer available for the
crops. 1t then becomes necessary to
resort to various expedients, such as
'tmulching," for hindering evaporation
and economizing the available water.

lNDIA's MILLIONS OF f"GoDs"
Country Is Certainly Deserving OF Its
Appellatlon, "The Mother OF
Religions"

st. Simeon Stylites, the noted Syrian
ascetic, is the first of whom we have
record of the many thousands OF reli-
gIous enthusiasts who have believed
In Furnishing the body that the soul
may be raised nearer heaven. st.
Simeon. it is recorded, passed the last
80 years Of his life sitting for the most
part Of the time upon high stone
pillar, set up In the ground, near Anti
och, "enduring the scorching heat by
day and the biting frost by night that
he might thus overcome evil passions
and be better fitted for heaven"
Enthusiastic followers today Of the
tenets of st. Simeon are the Sadhus
OF India, says Grit. While the ,prac.
tice of doing penance to earn merit
is prevalent in other countries, there
is no land where it Is so universal,
or where it Is carried to such de-
gree Of physical suffering as In India.
Every form Of torture than can be
applied to the human frame Is wit
messed in the land of the Sadhus.
India, that 'land Of mysticism and
romance" has SO great variety OF
religious faiths as to have received
the name 1.-THE Mother of Religions" "
The Hindus have more than 10000, 900
gods, and their worshipers wear up
on their foreheads distinctive "god
marks" to show which god they fol-
low. Out Of these religious beliefs
have come the various castles, the
bane Of India today, the giant hand
that stays the wheels Of progress.

AMERICANS DIETARY
STANDARDS CHANGED
People Are Eating Great Deal
Less Meat.
Recent Survey Made by Department
~ Agriculture Shows That More
MIX, Butter and Cheese
Are Being Consumed.

Whether it is because of the In
creased cost Of meat or because peo-
pies tastes have changed, the fact
remains that Americans are eating =
per cent less meat than they were
20 years ago. This is disclosed In a
recent dietary survey made by the
United States Department Of Agricuh
ture.
In this survey 1000 dietary records,
each covering period Of Z days,
were collected from i, ,425 families and
571 institutions in 40 states. Sixteen
nationalities and many occupations
and incomes were represented, as
were also both urban and rural locali.
ties.
From summary Of 500 Of these
family records it appears that last
year the average cost Of food per man
per day was 46 cents, with an average
return in food value of 1925 calories,
90 grams protein. 11s grams fat. and
4O5 grams carbohydrate. These fig.
ures are in fairly close accord with
the dietary standards ordinarily used
In discussing such problems Of gen.
eral nutrition.
4 comparison Of the foodstuffs pur.
chased by the 500 families with the
amounts of the same food purchased
by 400 families about 20 years ago
shows that the amount Of meat in the
American diet has decreased about 8
per cent, and the amount of grain
products about II per cent. People
are eating more milk, butter and
cheese than they were two decades
ago, for the amount Of dairy products
consumed has increased about per
cent. -Four per cent more vegetables
and 3 per cent more fruit Is being
eaten now.
Some individual food habits un-
doubtedly need to be corrected, but,
judging by these studies, 1t seems
fair to conclude that the average Diet
seems to be adequate.
