Make Their Marmalade
From Large Red Roses

Rose flower marmalades are of two
kinds. The Turks use the choice
Damascus white rose, the Orientals
the large red rose corresponding to our
American beauty. The vehicle Of pres
ervation may be virgin honey. com
mon in China. or the date Of the palm
or inf sirups in vogue from the Bos-
phorus to the Nile delta.
The fragrance OF tie rose marina
lade is not that OF the freshly plucked
rose, hut resembles more the modified
fragrance from blossom day or two
old. II comes in sealed containers or
crooks holding approximately five
pounds. which on opening are found to
be sometimes little more than two
thirds full. This is due 10 the con-
tents having been steam-sterillzed at a
minimum OF heat, after the sealing OF
the contalner; II is purposely never
filed. so as TO allow for heat expan-
sion Of the contents and thus prevent
fracture Of the c0ntainer. Also. the
rose fragrance is thus retained In al.
most all its exqulslteness.-Detrolt

Theatre next Monday and Tuesday
evenings under the auspices of the
Ho,yoke American Legion post.
The marvellous series of locks that

Flores, serve as background for
some OF the most important action
IN the picture. The Atlantic Fleet
Is shown in these waters, several of
the warships being introduced in the
development Of the plot.
-The Silent Command" was direct
ed by ]. Gordon Edwards, who Is
responsible for such famous features
as "The Queen OF Sheba" Nero" and

Practice OF Touching
Wood Ancient Custom

Many people, after they have boast
ed Of their good luck, proceed to
touch wood" So did our remote an
cestors. the tree worshipers.
An authority on such matters wrote;
"The remarkable similarity In Gus,
toms all over Europe points TO the
conclusion that tree worship was an
important element in the early re-
ligion OF mankind, especially OF the
Aryan stock, and the slnguarly uni
forinity Of rites and ceremonies which
can easily be shown to exist in widely
separated countries warrants US In be
lieving that they cannot have changed
much from very remote sges; and that
the practices continued down TO
very recent period-some even among
ourselves-were substantially Identical
with the rites and ceremonies OBJ
served by Egyptians. Etruscans. Greeks
and Romans"
The primitive belief was that spirits
resided In trees. Without this basic
idea being entirely lost there came
the period OF the sacred groves and
the Druids' oaks. and then the dedica-
tIon of certain sorts Of trees to the
earliest and simplest form of the su-
perstitlon.
We touch wood to call the attention
of the tree spirit to the fact that we
recognize his influence in the good
luck OF which we boast and In order
that he may not feel sighted and
change our good fortune Into bad: at
least that is why our ancestors touched
wood.-London Tt-Bits.

More newspaper advertising by
banks as business builder was
strongly urged at the recent conven-
tion of the American Bankers Asso-
citation by W. r. Morehouse of the or
ganization's Savings Bank Division.
He backed up his plea with definite
action to stimulate advertising by
savings banks by calling the attention
OF the members TO prepared news

by his division comprising copy TO
meet their requirements for q years

at is my firm conviction that banks
can use newspaper advertising with
great success" Mr.. Morehouse said.
Newspapers go into the honesty
their use as a medium the people of
whole community may be reached in
a single day. Because bank cannot
directly trace large volume OF new
business TO newspaper advertising
does not prove that the medium is in
effective as a business-builder.
THE fact that there are certain
kinds OF newspaper advertising which
do not produce good results ought not
to brand the medium as ineffective,
certain booklet or certain bulness.

rant you in branding all booklets and
all letters as non-productive mediums.
Lo,., 80 Aduar+,ee
Newspaper advertising must be at
tractive and easily read II 1t is TO
produce good results. II the subject
presented is not TO the point, is too
deeply involved for the average mind

Old Man, LOG, Who Died at San Diego

Frederick Zant, who died in the

at the advanced age of LOG years,
was formerly familiar character
in Imperial Valley.
Many Ell Centre people will re.
call seeing him on the streets here
year or two ago. He was small
man, bent from age, and clothed in
poor garments, and usually sup

by stout staff. Last summer .he
was to be seen frequently about
the business district of FL Centre,
usually sitting on the curbing near
the Southern Trust bank, or along
the south side of Main street in the
block between Fifth and Sixth
street.
According to his story, he was
born on n sailing vessel somewhere
in the Atlantic ocean on January
70, 1918. All his known relatives
had died long ago, he told the writ
er once, in reply to question and
he added, somewhat sadly, that he
had lived 'too long
Aside from his bent figure and
the natural signs of age, he was in
good physical condition. His sight
and hearing were good, and his
memory remarkable. 1t was most
interesting to one, reared in this
day and age, to hear some of his
stories of almost century ago.

set in his ways, could not make
