Uncle Sam to Keep Tab on Sun Spots

TTNCLE SAM and the Western
Union Telegraph company, which
was damaged to the extent of a quar-
ter of million dollars by sunspOt
in May of last year. are now develop
ing a system of precautions against
sunspots like that of the mariner and
farmer against the weather.
The sunspots shower the earth with
excess electrical current, producing
the electrical storms which now and
then paralyze telegraph, cable and
telephone service. Arrangements have
been made with the United States
Naval observatory for a regular bulle-
tin service on the condition OF sun
spots. Whenever new one appears
on the rim of the sun and starts to
move around where it will be in
position to volley the earth with cleo
trical showers, notice is sent from the
observatory to the Western Union of
ficials. In return for this service the
Western Union is preparing to collect
information on large scale on cleo
trical currents, their strength and di-
rection, and their apparent cOnnec-
ton with sunspots.
SunspOts occur in eleven-year cycles
The present year is near the middle
of the cycle, or in the period when the
sunspots are fewest. Last year was a
time when few sunspots were normal

the enemy is as far off as 80 miles.
In the days of the Civil war when
small cannon shot iron balls weighing
Is or 20 pounds, the range was usually
point blank, the enemy Ship~loOmed
large as a target and the gun-pointer
sighted by gazing along the barrel.
These two new instruments are
called the target computor and bat
terry computor. They are directed by
two high-powered telescopes located
at fixed observation stations in the
vicinity of the harbor defense. On
sighting an enemy ship the observa-
lions are transmitted electrically to
the two calculating instruments,
where the exact location of the enemy
ship is computed.
These new instruments, the fruit of
several years constant work and ex-
pertinent, predict the advance location
of the moving enemy, make allowances
for the temperature of powder, type
of shell, atmospheric pressure, direc
ton and velocity of the wind and the
drift Of the shell caused by the big

Dead Letter Sales" Popular Sport

A TTENDING dead letter sales" is
4 \ popular sport in washington. A
local auction house is crowded to the
doors when the government puts up at
auction an accumulation of several
months unclaimed and unavailable
parcel-post matter.
Some people have an idea that q
dead letter sale is conducted along
lottery lines. A glimpse into the auc-
ton room would bear out this impress
sion. No other goods are in sight The
auctioneer. high above the crowd, is
rafting off as fast as he can:
LOT number twelve-at So, at SIS,
Sc. at ST; yours for 81. Mr.. Brown
Then without pause for breath,
the auctioneer is Keeling off the next
number and calling for bids. The bid
ders in the crowd are closely follow
ing the sale by their catalogues, but
these give only the most general de
scription of each lot of goods. APP
parently they are buying in the dark.
This is not the case, however. The
day before the sale the articles to be
sold are on display. Long rows of
packing boxes with aisles between
them range the length of the auction
room. Each box contains one lot of
goods. Scarcely any articles are dis
posed of singly at these sales when

Many Tricks of the Trade" Taught in

Idea of Iowa Woman,

There are many little tricks of the
trade" taught in home dressmaking
classes conducted by extension work
ers, which are much appreciated by
mothers who must also learn how to
economic in every way. One such
trade practice of value in home-sewing
is the making of bias tape. An Iowa
woman found she could make .46 yards
of bias tape from a yard of 36-inch
material. She picked up three rem
nants of gingham and percale, each
piece a yard long, and at cost of
4S cents and a time investment of 45
minutes made 104 yards of tape which
was one-half to three-quarters inch
wide when finished.

Sometimes houSekeeper finds she
has everything necessary for a salad
except the lettuce. In such a case the
ture suggests that finely shredded cab
bage, either red or white, will answer
for the bed for the salad or that
any cooked or canned vegetables, as
well as many fresh ones, may be
served with salad dressing without
the customary lettuce leaf. Fresh Gel
cry Is an appetizing addition to most
salads when it can be obtained, but
1t is not necessary. Cabbage for use
as salad foundation should be finely
shredded. not chopped, and put in

always be heated to the boiling point
and then cooled before using in salad
Different Salad Dressings.
There are three basic salad dress
ings of which most other dressings
are adaptations. The following recipes
are tested and recommended by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture.
French Dressing.
8 tablespoonful oil u teaspoonful salt
I tablespoonful vim u teaspoonful pep
egar per
Cayenne Paprika
Blend the oil with the seasonings
and add the vinegar slowly. French
dressing may be made in quantities,
kept in cold place and stirred or
shaken in a bottle vigorously when
needed. French dressings are prefer
able for dinner salads.
Vinaigrette sauce is made by adding
to French dressing a teaspoonful each
Of chopped capers, olives, parsley and
small cucumber pickles.
Mayonnaise Dressing.
1 egg 2 tablespoonful
teaspoonful mus vinegar
tard 2 cupfuls Oil
" teaspoonful salt Cayenne
Place the egg, mustard, salt, cay
enne and vinegar in a bowl: Beat well
with Dover egg beater till thorough
ly blended, then add one tablespoonful
of the oil and beat again. Continue
adding the Oil gradually until one cup

full has been used, then add in larger
amounts.
MayOnnaise Is liked for luncheon or
supper salads, where the salad is the
principal dish orr preceded by a very
light course. 1t is considered too rich
to be appropriate for a hearty dinner.
Boiled Dressing.
u to " tablespoon ~ tablespoonfuls
full salt flour
liz tablespoonfuls Yolks eggs
sugar ~ tablespoonfuls
teaspoonful mus melted butter
tard q cupful milk
n cupful vinegar
Mix dry ingredients, add yolks of
eggs slightly beaten, butter milk, vim
egar very slowly. Cook in a double
boiler until it thickens. Strain and
cool. This dressing is useful in fam
lily where oil is not liked. Sweet or
sour cream may be used instead Of
milk.
Many of the cooked vegetables, such
as carrots, peas, cabbage, beets, cauli-
flower, kohlrabi, or Jerusalem arti-
chokes make a good salad when
served cold, either alone or in combi-
nation with celery, or with several
othsr vegetables; canned string beans,
asparagus, beets, peas, peppers and
okra all lend themselves well to use
in salads. Asparagus is particularly
good when served hot with hot yinai-
grette sauce described above.
Soup meat, which is often discarded
because it has little flavor, still con-
tains much nourishment. If cut in
pieces and mixed with a hot vinai-
grette sauce it makes an excellent
luncheon or supper salad. When cold
it is good in sandwiches.
Fish and meat salads are almost
complete meals. Cottage cheese salad
with mayonnaise dressing is an i'm
provement to many vegetable and also
to fruit salads. A spoonful may be
served on one side of the salad, or it
may be mixed. with chopped nuts and
mayonnaise and made into balls for
garnishing.
When one considers that the salad
list also includes oranges, berries, ba-
nanas either fresh or canned peaches
and pears, and other available fruits,
it is easy to see that the number of
possible combinations Is endless
