NEGROES LEAVING
SO. CAROLINA FARMS
Railway Official Estimates ~
Per Cent of CoIored People
Recently Left for North.

Columbia, S. C.-South Carolina,
long a State in which the negroes
greatly ou~tnumbered the whites, is
experiencing a gradual decrease in its
colored population that is gradually
gaining in volume, according t rail-
road and other officials in position to
observe. One railroad official recent
ly estimated that fully % per cent OF
the negro population Of the State had
left for Northern points, and a news
paper in a recent article estimated
that for the first time in more than
100 years the white population of the
State exceeded the negro.
Not only have scores of thousands
of negroes left the State during the
past year or more. but the number
of women and children leaving is in
creasing, railroad officials say. At
first only males left for the North.
Now, however, many of those who
went to the industrial centers early
in the exodus are sending for their
wives and families, while many others
are taking their women and children
Will LA4ClAs
Columbia apparently is a concentra-
ton point for considerable surround
ing territory. Practically every day
one hundred or more leave from the
railroad stations in this city, accord
ing to S. H. Mclean, district passen-
ger agent for the Southern Railway.
1.-THE negroes themselves are not
inclined to discuss their plans to any
great extent and make very little
show in leaving" said Mr.. Mclean
''They usually do not buy their tickets
at the uptown offices, waiting instead
until a few minutes before train time,
when they purchase a ticket and then
board the train and are gone"
The majority Of the negroes now
leaving the State apparently are go
ing to Pennsylvania, with Philadel-
phia and Pittsburgh appearing to re-
ceive the majority, although many are
going to Detroit, New York, Baltimore
Boston and Dayton.

Snap Fasteners Are
Aid to Experimenter

The small snap fasteners for dresses
that are sold In five and ten-cent stores
for five cents dozen may be put to q
great many uses by the radio expert

The accompanying sketches show a
few of the uses to which they can be

neat binding posts and by using DIFF

point switch can be made by pinning
to the panel as many points as wanted
in circle and also one at the center
Of the circle. and then with the two
halves of the fastener soldered onto a
strip of copper at distance equal to
the radius Of the circle switch arm
can be made. The fastener In the CEN

SKIM MILK HAS FOOD VALUE
There 10 Left All Of sugar and Most
OF Mineral Substances, but Also
ProteIns.

Whole milk, as every one knows, is
an indispensable food for the young,
and even In the diet of the adult 1t Ii
desirable. For cooking purposes, how
ever. skim milk is very satisfactory.
although 1t lacks the valuable food con-
stituent, butterfat. There is left
nevertheless In the skim milk, not only
all Of the sugar, which amounts to
about Az parts in every 100, and most
of the mineral substances. but also
most Of the proteins. The last named
class Of substances Is important, be-
cause besides supplying muscle and
tissue-building material, they also
serve as fuel for the body, as fats,
sugars and starches do.
Since the nutritive part Of skim milk
consists very largely Of protein. 1t Is
to be classed with such food materials
as eggs, meat, fish, poultry and cheese
(though 1t is more delicate than those
foods), rather than with such sub
stances as sugar, which serve only as
fuel. Two and half quarts of skim
milk contain almost as much protein
and yield about the same amount Of
energy as pound of round Of beef.
Whole, unskimmed milk has, Of
course, more pleasing taste to many
people, and those who do not need to
consider the additional cost will no
doubt always prefer 1t. Children should
always be given whole milk. When
used for cooking, however, the differ
ence in taste between SKINNED and
unskimmed milk is not so perceptible,
and there are many uses to which skim
milk can be put in the preparation Of
foods. In the making Of cereal mushes,
for instance, the use Of skim milk in
place of water adds greatly to the nu-
tritive value, particularly by raising
the amount Of tissue-forming mate
rials.

PROPER USE OF GAS STOVE
For Best Results Burners Must Be
Kept Clean and In Good condi-
tion-Have Clear Flame.

For good results in using a gas
stove keep the burners clean and In
good condition, and adjust the air
shutters properly, advises the United
States Department Of Agriculture. The
flame should be clear, blue and of uni
form height. The screw on the air
shutter can be adjusted easily with a
screwdriver. The flame should be long
enough to reach the bottom of the
saucepan, but not so long that 1t will
reach its side. The burner should be
set as close as possible to the bottom
Of the saucepan in which food is cook
ing. One and one-half inches between
the upper surface of the burner and the
bottom Of the pan is enough. in most
cases, and sometimes less vii suffice.
However, the vessel should not sit so
close over the flame as to touch the
inner blue cone or core of the flame,
for in that case combustion becomes
imperfect to such an extent that car
bon monoxide, poisonous gas, may be
formed.

The tuning condenser should have
capacity Of .001 microfarad, to cover the
Increased wave length range. The ro-
tating plates should be connected to
the ground side. A blocking condenser
of .0O5 microfard capacity is inserted
in the rotor circuit so as to avoid short
circuiting the batteries through the
plate circuit.
The grid leak can be Of the variable
type, but this is left to the option OF
the maker. The tube Is detector, al
though hard tubes such as the C301A
can be substituted. In such case 1t
may be advisable to increase the plate
battery voltage. A cushion mounting
for the tube socket is recommended, rs

ing around that does not help preserve
the tube flament.
The rheostat resistance will depend
on the type OF tube used. II Uv199.

A selective Portable.

There is an unlimited field for good
single tube portable set circuits. Any
regenerative type Of circuit will give
good volume on q single tube. The
main problem is to use a type Of tun-
ing unit that will permit maximum Sc
,lectiyity. In the hook-up illustrated a
variocoupler is used in conjunction
with variable condenser for the tun-
ing unit-the rotor supplies the feed
back OF the plate circuit.
The circuit is not primarily intended
for loop aerial reception, although one
end can be connected to the antenna
post, the other end left open, and
regular ground connection used.
When so connected. some very good
results are possible. II straight wire
aerial Is used, a length Of 80 feet can
be thrown over a convenient tree. OF
course this will not give the best re-
suits. II time Is available, the wire
should be suspended between insulat-
ors.

ground will give sufacient ground con-
nection. This can be improved by

FOUR O'CLOCK is TEA HOUR
Almost Sacred Institution In Buenos
Aires, and Practically Observed
by All Glasses.

Tea is an institution in Buenos
Aires. All offices swear off work tenn
orarily at o'clock each afternoon,
while white-coated porters bring
steaming cups around to the en-
ployees, and employers gather up
canes and derby hats and saunter
forth for the nearest ten salon. Be-
cause of the size of this fashionable
promenade, Gale Florida. the Fifth
avenue of Buenos Aires, is closed to
vehicle traffic from 4 80 to 80, says
the World Traveller magazine.
The city imbibes its coffee and tea
publicly. In the mornings the streets
are congested with walters from
bars carrying nickel pots Of Brazil
ian coffee to tardy office clerks. The
Avenida is swamped with other non
alcoholic drinkers who, by paying for

table, get n post Of vantage for the

In order to adapt the Jack, 1t is only
necessary to make plunger of some
insulating material, preferably Of
bakelite rod, Of the approximate d.
mensions shown In Fig. /. A hole
drilled through the plunger as at "a"
and having small piece Of stiff brass
wire inserted in 1t. will prevent the re

The uses to which such a multicon-
tact switch can be put are manifold.
The accompanying diagram shows the
correct method of connecting 1t for
changing the antenna tuning con-
denser for series or parallel connec-
tion. although other uses will no doubt
suggest themselves to the expert
menter. A further advance in panel.
neatness can be attained through
stamping the head of the plunger with
lettering corresponding to the use to
which the switch is put, rather than
engraving the panel surface.
