University Radio Courses.

P0reseeing millions of listeners, the
bulk of them Of college age, the ma
tional radio chamber of commerce is
developing plan to establish radio
extension courses in American col.
leges and universities.
England and Germany, it is said, are
planning to broadcast university extern
sion courses. Several prominent insti-
tutions of learning in the United
States have made a beginning in this
direction, the announcement continued,
and their reports Of the encouraging
success attending their efforts show us
that the possibilities Of the new meth
cd are not underestimated.
Sixty other educational Institutions
are broadcasting educational and musi-
cal programs, forty-seYen Of them be-
Ing colleges and universities. The
combined area nominally covered by
these institutions has been. estimated
to be seven or eight times the total
area Of the United States.

MANY OLD SCORES EVENE1
Stenographer, Improved Glorious OPP
portunity TO Administer a Gentle
Rap to Her Fellow Workers.

The stenographer in a business Of
fee in southern Indiana town had
endured many jests based on her sin
gle state and the number Of her birth
days. Chief among her tormentors
had been the "ooss,"5 whose own birth
days had passed the half-hundred
mark, but whose appearance belied
this. He took great pride in this latter
fact.
One morning the stenOgrapher an
swered the telephone, to hear her
brothers voice inquiring for "the old
man." meaning their father, also en-
ployed in the office. She did not ap-
prove Of thus mentioning her father,
and she saw, too, way opened to re-
pay some Of the jests of which she had
been the object.
"Old man" she inquired. "Well,
there are. several old men around here
just to which one do you have refer
ence?" she asked in a tone that was
audible all over the office.
Absolute silence for several minutes
was followed by the voice Of the
"boss," repeating, Several old men

FREE TRIPS FOR YOUNG
PEOPLE

One constantly reads in the news
papers of some bunch of club MEM
bers, boys or girls, who have been
given free trip to some fair, ex-
hibition, college, or possibly to the
state capital or to Washington. as
the result Of winning prize IN
some agricultural or home making
competition.
This is one OF the best schemes
ever devised for making young peo-
pie ambitious for success in rural
life. 1t will make them feel that
there are awarding experiences
within their reach, even il they do
stay in their rural homes. lncen-
tive is the greatest motive in human
life for bringing success. Every
young person who is working for
one of these trips has been given
such n stimulus.

RELICS IN NATIONAL PARK
Sacramento Towers Built by People
Probably Contemporary With
the Cliff DWelIers.

The new national park recently
set aside by President Harding will
have an unusual interest for tourists
in that within its confines there are
numerous relics Of a prehistoric race
who probably were contemporary with
the cliff dwellers. These consist of
ruins of towers, believed by experts
to have been used by the ancient peo-
pie in their religious ceremonies.
The new park lies largely in Mon
tezuma county in Colorado, about 30
miles west of COrtez, extending into
southwestern Utah. Most of the tow
ers are in Colorado. They are lit
tie known outside Montezuma county,
and are seldom visited by tourists,
as they are so miles off the beaten
paths of travel. They differ from
similar ruins at Mesa Verde, which
were built on uplands, and, or were,
mainly used as watch towers or for
astronomical purposes while some of
the Montezuma towers are found in
canyons.

THE EATS" OF COUNTRY

While eating ought not 10 be the
first aim of any rational man Oh
woman yet human comfort depends
on having good appetizing food
People who are poorly fed do no;
usually have initiative or ambition,
and they get discouraged. The
well fed person is "a good worker. he
takes a cheerful view Of life, ard
other things being equal, his chances
in business are better.
1t is hard to get we'll cooked food
in cities. The majority Of people
must eat away from home, which
means either cold lunches or else
food cooked in a hasty way in lunch
rooms or restaurants, poor material

selves on good cookery, using ideas

generations of skilled cooks. The
country is the place for good whole

MENTAL ARITHMETIC

People who were in school 80 to
40 years ago can remember the old
Colburn's arithmetic, or other text
book of that type, on which they
used to work. They can recall page
after page of difficult examples
which they were supposed to do IN
their heads, without use OF a slate
or pencil. Young people became
very clever in solving these examples
| without setting down any figures on
paper.
Today it will happen il many
| places that if you go into a store
and buy one article for II and one
for IA cents, the clerk may have to
get out pencil and paper before he
can perform these simple additions
He seems to do them with some
difficulty. There are many people
today who never acquired the habit
Of doing simple arithmet-cal pro
blems in their heads.
Some educators woul! say that
this faculty has no special value fol'
the ordinary man. They would
feel that nobody ever attained any
considerable success merely by
ability to add up figures. They
argue that mental skill can not be
transferred from one function to
another, and the fact that man is
quick mental adder, does not
mean that he could go into o factory
or on farm and think out the
underlying problems OF that bust
ness.
Yet if IL man. mind has learned
to work quickly III dong one klnd
Of work, it would seem as if it
would tend to act quickly in other
activities. The man whose mind
has been stimulated by matiemati
cal questions, would dislike to ap
pear slow in dealing with other
kinds Of problems. His mind
woIld become of AN inQuiring ma
ture, continually working over the
difficulties be might meet an try
ing to solve them.
1t seems as if mathematics were a
subject that made people think and
as if those who are allowed to slip
through it easily miss a vital ele-
ment in their mental development.

In England the punishment of the

in the stocks for drunkenness and dis.
orderly conduct.

DATE HAS HIGH FOOD VALUE
Fruit Not Properly Appreciated, Ae-
eordlna 70 Experts Of the De-
partment Of Agriculture.

According to the Atwater bulletin.
on food composition Issued by the
United states Department OF Agricul-
lure, the dried date Is composed as
follows: Carbohydrates FOG per cent;
protein, 10 per cent; fat, 2.5 per cent;
wate-, 1913 per cent; ash (mineral
salts) 1,2 per cent; refuse (hber), 10
per cent.
"Ihe protein ana fat content,
though small, is in Il readily available
form, the protein as builder and the
fat as a fuel% writes DR.. Charles L.
Bennett. "a man who includes two
pounds Of dates as the bulk Of a days
ration will not require much additional
protein. In fact, a pare date dietary
meets the requirements cfmany Arabs
in everyday activities for long periods
at time, without the addition Of
other foods"
"rhe value OF the date as q food is
not half appreciated. by the American
public" writes another authority, DR..
John Harvey Kellogg. 'aThe date not
only furnishes a variety Of sugar
which Is readily assimilated and which
Is much more. wholesome than cane
sugar, but it also supplies a fine quail
ity Of food iron, which Is entirely lack
ing in cane sugar. An ounce of dates,
in fact, supplies one-third more food
iron than an ordinary beefsteak and
iron of much finer quality"

to assure its success? Sometimes
a group offarmers that contemplate
such an effort will not lie able 70
find any one Of their number who
will give the time necessary to co.
ny on the management 81 their
enterprise, or they may not have
anyone who feels compliant 70

In such case the cooperative
society may feel that it has to go

pay y large salary. But if it pays
enough to secure and keep a thor

1t will pay for the Pc pc who
form cooperative enterprise to
give their own time pretty lib rally
to carry it on. They may not seem
to get much out OF it for a time,
and it may appear as if they had
to do all the work and take the
kicks. But they are getting vaIu-
able experience.
As the business grows, they are
becoming the leaders of the com
munity, and obtaining reputation
for business competence and success

to assure the success OF such a
movement will not commonly re-
greet it.

SUGAR From Sap Of Palms.

Various tropical palms yield a
sugary sap which is employed by the
natives for making sugar and
"toddy." A summary of informa-
ton relating specially to the, Nipa
palm from this point of view is given
In the Bulletin of the Imperial In
stitute. This palm grows in the
muddy estuaries of rivers through
out the eastern tropics. The juice,
which contains about Is per cent OF
sugar, is obtained by removing the
Towering shoots and collecting the
sap which escapes. If desired, the
juice can be fermented for the pro
duction of alcohol
1t has been estimated that %
hundredweight of sugar, or 200 gallons
of % per cent alcohol, could be OBJ
tanned annually from an acre of swamp
land planted with Nipa palms. The
tree occurs over extensive areas In
British North Borneo, and the au-
thorities there are considering the
question of utilizing it as a source
OF sugar and alcohol.
