THROUGH THE STATIC

There was u light static and fair volume lahst ivvining, in truth. In truth! We didn't venture beyond the loo mile belt. another truth. Dut there's one thing we want and that's hot water so We can shave. On to the next topic
 Double You Tea Eye Sea offered an early program of dance music by the Bi-Van Royal orchestra. AL though the music was excellent, the band didn't seem 10 measure up 10 the others which have performed from that station. There was not the CO., o-operation among the various in struments. to our way Of thinking. that Characterizes Eddie WiuStcin'S band and the Hotel Bond orchestra. The waltz numbers, we must say, were played in approved style. al 1 though the foXtrotS lacked that Cer- tain something.

 VICES, New York. which had been in rather hashful mood early in the evening, came out of it's coma and treated us to 8 period of trans- mission, which couldn't have been beat, under any circumstances. One of the most unique Lincoln pro grams we have ever heard was pre- sented from this station by the Fife Brothers, noted evangelists. who gave us some unusual slants on the life and times of the great Amerl- can. An old southern melody. Jim Cracked Corn," or words to that ef- feet, was sung by one of the broth CTS. This song is closely associated with Lincoln's last hours, as it was stated last evening it was sung in front Of the White House on the night he was shot. Bob Fife eA- plainod that the number was sung to Lincoln by two soldiers. An imi- jtation of lincoln's voice was given but of course, we can't say whether or not it sounded like that ot the Great Emancipator. The Fife Broth CTS were born in a lob cabin neaI that which housed Lincoln and they had an acquaintance with him Iatel in his life.
 WBZ offered a Lincoln program under the auspices of the Women! Relief Corps. We didn't hear yer! much of it, but a melody of patriot ic airs played as a piano solo by Mis- Weston proved satisfactory Trans mission from the Springfield station was good and there was no dtstor tion, more than could have been saio for the broadcaster early in the eve ming. When the Hotel Kimball danc orchestra was on the air transmits sion was something awful. We heard Wl.WT..

Improvement is noted in the coal

unemployment is among unskilled

In Indianapolis, glove factories,

unemployment in various industries,
most plants are running to capacity

the peanut plant that cannot be
used in soma way or other.
The food value of the nuts, long
eaten merely as a relish, is only be.
ginning to be appreciated. They con
tain per pound more protein than
a pound OF sirloin steak, plus more
carbohydrates than pound OF po.
tatoes, plus one-third as much fat
as a pound Of butter-an amazing
total" Unlike dairy products and
meat, the nuts keep without deterior
alton for years. The United States
Department of Agriculture urges the
use of peanut meal as a meat sub
stitute, in soups and mixed with 9th.
err meals and fiours in griddle cakes,
mullins, etc.
The peanut plant is remarkable for
the way it produces its fruit. .Afttr
the flowers have fallen, the 1orer
stalks bend down and push into tho
ground, where the pods or nuts" de-
velop. From this it is called the
groundnut, earthnut and ground pea
a goober in various localities.
The plant grows from the
Brazilian tropics, where it originated,
to Virginia and Argentina, and from
Senegal to China. Because it can
endure long drought and grow when
rain comes, it is of special value in
.semi-arid regions. as the Southwest
of the United States. The yield per
acre is from thirty-four to sixty
bushels of nuts in the shell, with q
ton to ton and a half of good hay
If an acre of land can produce
twenty bushels of wheat, forty
bushels Of oats or forty bushels OF
peanuts. it will yield 154 pounds Of
digestible protein in the wheat, las
in the oats, or 1856 in the peanuts
and twenty-four pounds of fat in the
wheat, sixty-one pounds in the oats
and 900 pounds in the peanuts.
Although most Of the peanut cror
in the United States is used as
human food, it has been found very
profitable to "sell peanuts as pork
Under this plan, the tops Of the
! plants are cut and gathered for hay
then hogs are turned into the field
where they root up the nuts ant
eat them, gaining weight rapidly
with this diet.
Since about the time of the Civil
War the peanut has been grown in
the southern states in increasing
quantities. In many cases, especial
ly the boll-weevil district, it is more
profitable than cotton. The Ameri
can peanut is larger and finer
favored than any other. but con
tains less oil than the African nut
Two types chiefly grown in the
United States, the large-podded white
or red or white peanut, with two
three, even four kernels; and the
| Spanish or African small-podded pea
nut which produces small roundist
peanuts Of milder flavor. The croT
in the United States is about 20,
