ON GLOBE IS
EXPLORED
Two Women Among Climbers
Who Scale Summit Of
WaiaIeaIe.
Ry International News Service.

HONOLULU, April A. Mount
Waialeale, on the Island Of Kauai,
regarded by scientists as the
rainiest spot on the globe-barring
not even the famous wet spots of
1ndia-was recently explored by
q party of experienced trampers,
which included two women from
the Trail and Mountain Club, of
Honolulu. This is the first time in
thirty years that women have at
tempted the climb; two Kauai girls
did it some time about 1890. =
BY a remarkable bit of good for.
tune this years party reached the
summit of the mountain in one of
the few clear, sunshiny hours that
1t knows during the entire year.
There was thin fringe of clouds
at the east edge of the mountain,
which concealed the view Of the
lowlands, but to the north, west
and south the whole forest-clad
portion of the island was, in that
brief space, clear and beautiful.
Mount Waialeale is only 5000
feet in height, but it's sides are
steep and overgrown with thick
tropical underbrush--ieie vine and
staghorn fern, the latter bearing
hookhke briers on it's steel-like ten
drills, which make it a constant
barrier to the hiker. The top OF
the mountain Is treacherous mo-
rass, whose waters form the Waini-
ha and Wailua rivers and num-
Der of smaller streams.
The party made the climb in one
day, returning at night as far as
the Keaku Cave. the only spot
within miles where the climber
may find refuge from the heavy
tropic rains. The average rain.
fall on the mountain top is 500.
inches. Il. -
Almost at the summit stands an
ancient Hawaiian altar, made Of
stone, which is said to have been
a favorite worshipping place for
the natives hundreds of years ago.
Near 1t lies a small lake, which
bears a Hawaiian name meaning
sacred" Some Of the most pow.
erful deities of native mythology
Were supposed to dwell in this
vicinity.

Delicious Strawberry Jam @
 Easily Made In | 5 Minutes New Certo Method Never Fails N
Color Ripe Strawberries Requires Only
 Boiling and Makes 12 Glasses Jam from Two Quarts of Fruit

That is why more sugar is needed for the CERTO method, although your jam and jelly will not contain, any more sugar per. glass than by the old method and the cost per glass is actual ly less This one minute boiling also preserves the real color and flavor. ' <
 Home grown strawberries are. now plentiful at q low price, and house. wives should be putting up. strawberry jam and jelly for next Winter. To make twelve glasses of stra wberry jams.
 Try This Simple Recipe
 Crush about 2 quarts ripe berries in separate portions, so that each berry is mashed. This allows fruit to quickly absorb the sugar during the short boil. Measure 4 level cups crushed berries into large kettle, add level cups 6 Ibs) sugar and mix well. Use hottest fire and, stir constantly before and while boiling. Boil hard for one full minute, remove from fire and stir in F bottle (scant 1a cupl CERTO. From time jam is taken off fire allow to stand not over minutes by. the clock, before pouring. In the meantime, skim, and stir occasionally to cool slightly. Then pour quickly and seal.

The days of hard work over aE hot stove and the guess work with its worry--and often with it's loss of sugar and fruit-ini jam and jelly making is past and gone. A nationally y-known jelly maker has found the way to ex- tract pectin-that substance in fruit which makes the juice "jelP' or set when boiled with, sugar-and, then to refine and concentrate it for American housewives So wonderful is this prod uct called CERTO (Sutejell) that over five million womep have adopted It's use within three years. With it any body who will follow a simple recipe can now make jam or jelly with any kind of fruit without failure in few minutes.
 The CERTO method is as simple and accurate as two and two make four" With CERTO you only boil one min ute, not the indefinite period of the old method: This one minutes boiling saves not only your precious time, but it also saves the juice, the flavor and the, color of the fruit, which was for merly boiled away Consequently with CERT0 you make about one e-half more jam and jelly than the old method with the same amount of fruit. For in- stance, with two pounds of berries you now make five pounds of jam as against the three pounds made by the old method,

DRY GOODS DEMAND
 GAINS SLIGHTLY
Print, Cloths Advance With Rise
 In Cotton Price

NEW YORK, April 26. "A small im- provement in the demand for cotton goods is reported in primary markets where gray cloths are handled. Fol lowing rise in speculative cotton mar kets, sales of print cloths were made at advances. of h cents and 4 cent yard and several small sized lots of sheetings were engaged for delivery through June. Percales were offered for fall delivery with fall dating on the same basis of price that has pre- vailed for some weeks in short term selling. During the coming week, na- tional gingham week will be observed in.lthe stores and it is hoped to stim- ulate the movement of ginghams at re- tail. Bleached cottons are holding fair ly steady but they are quiet. There has been little improvement in colored yarn goods of the coarser descriptions. Flock dot voiles, new black and white voiles and many sorts of suitings and crepes in wash fabrics are being bought moderately by retailers. Staple gar unents for children's wear are selling very moderately. Fancy shirts. are d0- ing better. Cotton yarns have been easy and quiet. There has been little change in knit underwear lines, prices for some of the light weight goods be- ing lower. Export. trade in cotton goods and hosiery has been better during the past three weeks than for some months. Production is being curtailed in the cotton mill centers, estimates now cur rent crediting the industry with about @ per cent of capacity operations. Prices current for cotton goods in primary markets are as follows: Print cloths, 2S inches 64x64's, cents 1; 64x60's, 6A cents; 3S1a-inch 64x64's, SIS cents; brown sheetings, southern standards, 15N cents and -16 cents ]; denims, 2,20's Indigo 241a cents tick ings 8 ounce, 26 cents; prints, 93l cents; staple ginghams, 15 cents dress ginghams, 1874 cents and q cents.

PETERSBURG PLUS S HELD UNFAIR
 BY EXAMINER
Federal Trade Commis. sion Told That Compe-
 tition Is Handicapped

DULUTH, Minn,, April 26.-The Pittsburg. plus practice in the steel industry, by the United States Steel corporation, is unfair and handicaps competition. according to reports sub mitted to the federal trade commission in, Washington by Examiner ". Ben nett. A copy of the report was made public here last night.
 Consumers of steel bought from cities other than Pittsburg are compelled to pay unnecessarily many million dol lars annually" because of the practice of charging freight rates on steel from Httsburg regardless of where the product. is manufactured, according to the report.
 The alleged unfair methods of com petition conducted under the practice constitute a violation of Section 2 and what is known as the Clayton act the report states.
 Examiner Bennett claims there is no other practice identical with, or com parable to the Pittsburg plus, while other industries are quoted the base price. No precedent is found for the Pittsburg plus in any other industry, on account of the different circum- stance surrounding such markets, ac- cording to the report.
 'No. price fixing device ever func- tioned 100 per cent, even though it was specific agreement with penal ties" the examiner declared in the re- port. "As an eliminator of competi- tion, the Pittsburg plus practice was therefore very effective"
 Proximity to Pittsburg. and not the producing mills under the Pittsburg plus practice, determined the advan- tage or. handicap of the purchaser, Ex- arniner Bennett reports.

SAHARA TO BLOSSOM?
Great Future Believed Possible For The African Desert

In addition to providing an avenue of access to the natural resources and man-power of French Central Africa, the construction of the Trans-Saharan railway will make possible an inten- sive exploration of the hidden resources of the great desert, writes Matthew Craig lin Current History Magazine. Until recently the Sahara has been viewed not as q territory to be. explor- ed and developed, but as an obstacle to be overcome. Today engineers are awakening to the mining possibilities of the desert itself, where deposits. of many metals, of coal and oil have been found, in addition to the large phos- phate beds now under exploitation. Like, the Great American Desert" practically the entire Sahara is un- derlain with a great subterranean body of water, and an abundant supply of water is obtained wherever artesian wells are sunk. This fact alone has already radically changed the aspect, in places, of the caravan routes. Where once there was only sand, extending like vast and boundless ocean to the horizon, brilliant spots of verdure, small gardens of vegetables and fruit trees and patches of grain are now to be seen. The desert tribes have been quick to follow the lead of the French garrisons and rare colonists, and more than 100 wells have. been bored throughout the region. Thus, to cite but one of many examples, Ben Gardane, which 15 years ago was an arid halting place., is now the center of an olive tract extending six kilometers, where a population of 10000 natives is definitely settled on the land, which feeds them and their flocks.
 There would seem to be no reason why the growing oases, spreading as they do little further each year, should not continue to extend Indefinitely with the continued augmentation in the mum Der of wells and thus, in time, mod fly the entire character of the .coun- try: convert the nomad tribes into a settled opulation-for the nomad, ever forced to seek the water he must have or perish, is ,nomad not from choice but from neeessity--and, ultimately cause the desert itself Ito blossom as the roses Certainly, when one con siders the effect on history of the change of the Egyptian climate or the increased aridity of China, it is not to much to believe that the reduction of the temperature of the European Mediterranean littoral from it's. present mean average to that of our New England states is fraught with the 1 greatest significance for the future of humanity.

Ouertraining Dangerous
 To All GrolDing Children
Dr. Fishbein Tells How Some Complex Problems Of Modern Life May Be Met ,,

exactitudes many of the cases must be eliminated because the evidence is hearsay, but a few are of such char acter as to bear close scrutiny. Lutati, an Italian physician, reported that the hair of an artillery captain twenty four years of age, turned almost com. pletely white during the two days of the battle of the Piave.
 All sorts of explanations have been offered as to the way in which the whitening of the hair is brought about. Landois in 1886 asserted that the white developed because of air bubbles which appeared within the hair, when the pig nnent was removed by the blood cells which pick up and carry away pigment. .Metchnikoff, great scientist. who was particularly. interested in the way old, age comes on, asserted that there is' multiplication of the number of such cells about the roots of the hair when graying begins. He gave to these blood : cells the 9. anne chromo- phages, meaning destroyers of color ing matter. However, several scien- lists who Nave carefully studied the mechanism of graying have refused to take this, explanation seriously. Al though it seems unquestionable that small patches of hair may suddenly turn gray and that there. is evidence that in some instances all the hair has turned gray during a brief period, it seems unlikely from present knowl- edge regarding the rate at which changes usually occur in the body tis- sues, that the long hair of a woman could completely lose its pigment with in twenty-four hours or. in fact, even within week. .@
