its child-feeding work In Russia.
The children who are fed are FIRST

OF the eclipse turned a spectroscope

due to sodium.
Jansen showed however. that tins
line was not just the same as either
the D1 or DE- line of sodium, although
II was extremely close to these lines.
Hence he suggested that the new line
have the designation Ds. Frankland

to an element In the sun not previous

For several years nothing more was
done In connection with this element.

memorable discovery Of argon in the
atmosphere. After this discovery
Ramsay looked for other sources of

Recent experiments with the poul"

1t is not alone in number of eggs

DEVELOPMENT or HELIUM
GAS is STORY OF ROMANCE
IN THE WORLD OF SCIENCE

The remedy for this situation was to
be found In a non-inflammable gas,
! light enough to replace hydrogen as a
lifting force. Helium is the only gas
known to have these qualities.
When the United States entered the
war helium for use in dirigibles was
discussed among Bureau of Mines Of
ficials, and the matter was presented
to the war and navy departments. The
air service approved the proposition
and allotments of money were made
from the army and navy appropria-
tions to carry 1t forward.

PR0L0NG THE LIFE OF
~ HEAVY CANVAS COVERS

| WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-(A. P.)-
Those who use heavy canvas covers to
protect their crops, machinery, ma
terials, etc, against the weather, can
almost double the life of the fabric if
they treat them to afford protection
against light as well as moisture and
mildew, the Department of Agriculture
| declares in a recent circular. After a
series of experiments with canvas in
which waterproofing mixtures were
| made with the addition of earth pig
| ments such as used in paints, the ex-
perimenters arrived at the. conclusion
that keeping out the light from the
inner fibers affords considerable pro-
lection to the fabric.
Since several pigments are suitable,
there is more or less freedom of choice
as to color, the statement continues.
For buff or khaki color yellow
ochre can be used. For a darker buff
or light brown, raw sienna is good,
for dark red or reddish brown, burnt
sienna; forfolive brown, raw umber;
and for dark brown, burnt lumber is
added to the mixture.
The usual formulas for waterproof
ing canvas may be used with tho addi-
ton of the earth pigment, using one
pound, either dry or ground in linseed
oil, to each gallon of f.he prepared
solution. The department experts
have also found that solution of
dark or yellow petrolatum, CvaseIine)
beeswax, gasoline, and kerosene with
the desired pigment, makes a good
and lightproofing mix
tture. Another recipe just as good is
the same as the first, substituting as
phalt petroleum or bermudez) for
the beeswax.
The waterproofing or Iightproofing
Of canvas is important for number
1f uses, it is explained. The introduce
ion of long-distancc truck hauling
has created a greater demand for stout
wagon covers. which are widely used:
'reat quantities are used for covers to
protect grain or hay in the shock
rom the weather; the merchant uses
overs to protect his produce: con-
FACTORS and builders need them to
rotect machinery and materials. The
rmy and navy use great quantities of
anVas and the summer camper is an
ther large consumer. 1t is often pos
oie Tor these users to have the cost
'st of their canvas by prolonging the
fe Of the material.
For canvas that remains in a fixed
osition, such as permanent wagon
'vers. the circular adds, boiled lin
ed oil containing one pound of the
eStred pigment to each gallon may
e used. The treatment. however. stiff
ms the canvas and Is therefore. not
litable for covers that are frequently
'lded. Lamp black was found to be

BISCUIT CUTTER is USEFUL
No Special Directions Are Needed for
Using Little Tool for Mixing
Fat and Flour.

For combining shortening with flour
in making pie crust, cutting it in with
knives is hygienic Improvement that
is considered better than the time-hon-
ored method of mixing ii in with the
tips of the fingers. Moreover, aside
from hygienic considerations, ham
ding the dough too much makes q
tough crust.
The Office of home economics of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture has lately employed a third meth
cd of mixing fat and flour, which is
to cut in the fat with the biscuit cut
ter.
No special directions are needed to
guide the cook who would adopt this
simple little tool for this purpose. The
fat is added to the sifted -four and
salt and the two are chopped together
more or less thoroughly, depending
upon the quality of pie crust desired.
The water is added and the biscuit cut
ter is used again to combine the water
with the fat-ann-fiour mixture.
Having discovered one new way of
using an old tool, the office or home
economics saw these other POSSIBLE
tiles:
Use it to mix fat and -four for baking
powder biscuits.
Use IL to chop fruit. when the fruit is
to be used on shortcake. in making jelly
or jam, or as sauce for ice cream.
Use 1t to chop cold. boiled potatoes for
hash or salad.

LABELS FOR CANNED

Information Win Be Wanted Dur.

Not Always Easy Matter TO Remember
History Of Each Jar or Can
Printed Slips Should Have
All Necessary Data.

After a busy ten or twelve hours
OF canning. woman is inclined TO
think that anything else added on TO
the days work would be just little
too much. However, tomorrow is an
other day and one can then usually
find an hour or SO in which TO label all
yesterdays cans with the information
that viii be wanted next winter.
IT would seem wise 10 do this. ac-
cording TO the office OF home economies
of the United States Department OF
Agriculture, for though at the time of
canning We may think we shall always
recognize every Jar and remember its
history, when winter comes we may
often be doubtful, until we open a
jar. whether It holds blackberries or
black raspberries. or whether certain
glass OF jelly is plum or currant.
Labels may either be purchased or
made at home by cutting plain paper
In pieces about 1 by 2 inches; they
should have all the necessary data
printed or written ON them and then
they should be pasted on the Jars at
uniform distance from the bottom.

GRAPE JELLY
1sT EXTRACTION
SEPTEMBER, 1921.

Fruit, vegetables, and other canned
goods should not only be carefully put
up and labeled, but they should also
be carefully stored. This means that
a clean, cool, dark place should be pro-
vided. A cupboard with strong, rather
shallow shelves and close-fitting doors
will protect the products from dust,
dirt, and light. If the shelves are wide
enough to hold only row, or at the
most two rows of. cans, it will be
easy to find any particular can which
one may happen TO be looking for, and
such an arrangement will also make
the detection of any spoiled goods
an easy matter.
Moreover, with a closed cupboard
such as this, it will not be necessary
to wrap glass Jars of Strawberries,
peas, and&other fruits and vegetables
that fade when exposed to the light.

1t isHsigniicant that practically

returned with virtually the same
story; that Germany and Austria
are threatened with collapse il
there is not a solution OF the rep

. and the world generally affected.
Almost invariably the United
States is represented as holding
the key to the situation. Its dis
interestedness as we'll as its great
power are declared such that its
cooperation with the other ma
tons would soon stabilize Eu-
rope.
