LITHUANIANS OBSERVE
 INDEPENDENCE DAY
Nearly 1000 Attend Exercises Con- mcmorating Fourth of July" of
 Their Native Country.

| A celebration of Lithuania's Inde- pendence Day was held yesterday at the Lithuanian hall at Park street. An assembly of about 1000 was present. 1 There were songs by local Lithuan- I ian chorus and also solos. Mayor A. l NJ. Paonessa, Prosecuting Attorney J.
 c. Woods, and Lawyer Ferdinand Ba- 1 gocius spoke.
 l Mayor Paonessa first addressed the gathering, speaking of the relation of good citizenship with religion. Mr. Woods then spoke and illustrated the l fact that America was 8 free country, but there were certain limits to that l freedom. MT. Bagocius traced the
 history of Lithuania from its earliest phases up to the present. He told of the early fire-worshipping and the be- lief in thunder. He traced the rise
 of Lithuania through the ages until the alliance in marriage between Po- land and Lithuania. Then set in the downfall The wealthy took to plea sure while foreigners came in and op-
 pressed the poor and weak. Mir. Ba- gocius spoke of the customs at the time and compared them with the
 present. He then went on to tell of the showing the Lithuanians made during the recent World war. Even though the Lithuanians were at that time taken up with their own strug- gles, they sent some of their best men into the struggle for humanity. Then came the declaration of independence for the Lithuanians. That was their greatest step up the ladder of pro- gross. From the moment that Lithu- ania had been recognized as an inde- pendent nation, the country seemed to be raised by new hopes of happiness and progress. They began to do everything that would push their country a little ahead of the game un- til now they have an almost complet- cd masterpiece that took up six years time and struggle. Schools and indus tries have been built mp until they arc as good as any other country's. Mr. Bagocius says that one doesnt hear much Of the Hthuanians. and there arc many even today that see no difference between the Polish md tho Lithuanian. In time after t.lth- uania has had as many years of inde- pendcnce as other countries have, there will not be many that will not bn able to distinguish l.ithnania from other countries. Mir. Baeocins closed his speech by saying he hoped by the time inc next anniversary of the inde- pendenee Of lithuania came around inc capital of l.ithuania, Einius, would again be in the hands of the l.ithuanians.
 Mr. kubiius also addressed the gathering. The program was closed by songs rendered by the chorus.
 In the evening. banquet was held. There vas such n throng that it was difficult to accommodate all who at- f. nded.

 Sweeping down upon Telez station, between Mexico City and Pachuea late Saturday rebesl captured a pas senger train, two freight trains and a mixed train. They turned two loco- motives wild" on the main line. With the other two engines the rebels tore up long stretches of track and then blew up the engines and burned all the cars in the four rails. The pas sengers were not harmed, but were forced to make their way on foot to Pachuca.
 Increased precautions have been ordered by the War Department to protect rail traffic between Mexico City and Vera Cruz as result of treat received at railway headquarters from rebel leaders operating between Condoba and Vera Cruz that begin ming Feb. 20 they would dynamite all trains, including passengers. Hereto fore only freight trains have been molested.
 It is known, according to the War Department, that the revolutionists manufactured large quantities of bombs before they evacuated Vera Cruz on Feb. 4. These bombs are to be used in blowing up trains and bridges. according to information here. When the rebels left Vera Cruz they divided into numerous small groups, railroad officials assert. and it is these bands that they expect to be- gin destruction of rail property.

CREAM DECREASES AS
TEMPERATURE RISES

For many years the heating OF milk
to 40 or l54 degrees f. and holding
1t for 80 minutes has been considered
proper pasteurization. Recently two
sets of opinions have developed, one
holding that the milk shovld be kept
for 80 minutes at a minimum of las
degrees f., while the other contends
that It is sufficient to hold the milk
for 80 minutes at temperature Of
142 to 145 degrees f. All agree that
at no time should the temperature Of
the milk fall below 142 degrees r.
In the operation of commercial pas
teurlzers, 1t is impossible to avoid a
huctuation of less than 3 degrees. II
a minimum of 145 degrees f. is main
tained the milk would go as high as
AS degrees f.
The dairyman, however, Is anxious
to deliver to the consumer bottle of
milk with good layer of cream. I'm
fortunately the consumer uses this as
his only index of high-quality milk.
The University of Illinois, in Bulletin
sol has SOlnplltu Work upon the tl-
feet Of temperature upon the cream
ing ability of milk. It was found that
the volume of cream decreases when
the temperature of pasteurization
rises from 142 degrees II. to IA de-
grees f." 1t is stated further. CAS- the
temperature goes higher, the de-
crease In volume of cream becomes
rapidly more pronounced at lao de-
grees f., 1t amounts to slightly more
than 10 per cent by volume: at 146
degrees f., 1t amounts TO 1876 per
cent; and at 14S degrees IT,. to APP
proximately 40 per cent"
DIR. William N. Price of the Detroit
Creamery company, in reporting for
the pasteurization committee of the
International Association of Milk and
Dairy Inspectors at their last WASH
ington meeting, recommended the
heating of milk to 142 to 145 degrees
F., with the absolute minimum Of 142

Difficult Churning Is
Remedied by STARTER

There are several things that might
cause difficult churning. The cream
may not be properly rlpened, 1t may
be too rich or the temperature may
not be correct To ripen cream prop
erly a starter" Is often used. To
make the starter take from pint to
a quart of fresh, clean milk and put
in a sterilized bottle. Keep II at a
temperature Of from 60 to IS degrees
r. till 1t curdles. If the curd Is smooth
and solid and the odor clean and
pleasant it is satisfactory
The cream should be kept sweet
until ready to be ripened Then heat
1t to about 10 degrees f. and add from
2 to per cent of the starter. Keep
near 20 degrees until it begins to
thicken, the odor becomes pleasant,
and the acid taste Is distinct bnt mild,
when it should be cooled to churning
temperature, which is from 56 to go
degrees In winter. Leave at this tenn
perature from one to two hours be-
fore churnirg If these directions are
followed there will not be much trou-
hle in the ehurning of the butter.
Cream that is allowed to sour natural
ly In the fall and winter often makes
churning difficult and the starter
method Is used to overcome this diff
ficulty.
