Taste in CoLOrs
Called Criterion
OF Civilization

DENVER, Colo, May 80 Prof
Thomas Russell Garth, of the de-
partment Of education in the Uni
yersity of Denver, declares that pref
erences in colors denote types of
civilization and orders Of intelli-
gence.
He pointed to a recent test made
by the University of Texas, which
found that white children cared most
for blue and evinced a particular
distaste for yellow
THE more white people are edu-
Gated" said Prof Garth, "the less
they esteem red In fact. they sup
press all colors except blue as they
become more educated"
A previous examination Of 1000
Indians showed that red was their
favorite color. They dislike yellow
avoiding its use wherever possible

MISSOULA. Mont, My 13.-Wea-
ther conditions in some parts of
northern Montana, particularly In
the mountain sections, make it nee
essary at times to resort to rather
unusual efforts to circumvent ma
ture's handicaps
An instance Is the reported plan
of G. S. Hinkle, superintendent of
construction work on the Lolo Pass
road project, on the border between
Montana and Idaho where the high
way crosses the Rocky Mountains.
With snow still two and a half
feet deep and the beginning of the
seasons operations planned, Mr.. Hin
kel decided to send 80 horses over
the mountains on snowshoes.
Boards about a foot square are
fastened to the feet of the horses
These, Mr.. Hinkle says, will be suf-
ficient to support the animals weight
and it is said they quickly learn to
handle the unaccustomed footwear.
Fred Morrell, district forester for
the northwestern area of Montana
says his men occasionally find it
necessary to resort to the same ex
pedient In crossing the summit OF
the range.

One can easily see what would
happen if the edges were jagged
and broke the fruit.
Any fruit at all may be frozen
in this fashion. Peaches are deli
cious, and so are pineapple, fed
raspberries, apricots and grapefruit.
The grapefruit would, however,
probably require a sweet preserve
like strawberry jam, served with It.
Red raspberries make particularly
appetizing dessert.
Crushed canned pineapple, by the
way, makes a delightful dessert all

adding the crushed pineapple have

domestic science has discovered
evaporated milk can be whipped
stiff quite as readily.
