gas Immediately after being roasted,
and with this gas goes much Of the
aroma and flavor of the coffee.
One of tho interesting experiments
we ran at the Institute. was with
two sealed glass balls of ground
coffee and a fifteen.inch column
Of mercury. The gas escaping
from the coffee caused the column
of mercury to rise sixteen and one
quarter inches in seven days for
the light roast, and twenty.eight
and three.quarters for the dark
roast. We also packed some fresh.
ly-roasted coffee in a Theoretically.
sealed can, and the top bulged to
the bursting point. When tested
with a gauge, it gave eight pounds
pressure at the end of fourteen
days. This is an added proof that
gas is given off from roasted cof-
fee. The vacuum pack-can pre-
vents bullying, and guarantees an
absolutely air.tight can and fresh
coffee. On opening this can, too,
store coffee in air.tight jars.
The second direction, therefore,
in our recipe for making coffee
would be Never leave coffee in
the original package after opening .
The nearest thing we have to an
air.tight container in the home
kitchen is glass fruit jar with a
new rubber band. A half-pint Jar
is a good size since it is opened
only few times in using up the
supply, thus exposing the coffee
to, the air as little as possible. To
prove the importance of this, we
cup-tested some freshly.roasted cof-
fee of an inferior blend against a
very high.grade coffee which had
been exposed to the air for five
days, and it was the consensus of
opinion that the fresh inferior cot
fee was highly superior to the stale
high-grade coffee.
Third, after obtaining a good
coffee, do not spoil it in the prep
aratton. On the other hand, If
your favorite brand of coffee seems
not to be coming up to its usual
standard, do not at once blame
the method Of preparation. but ask
yourself also If it is fresh. There

Ponds upon the kind Of coffee used
and the individual taste. At the
institute we use two level table,
spoonfuls Of ground coffee to one

utes to settle. For drip coffee,
preheat the container, then pour
fresh, rapidly-boiling water through
the pulverized coffee. Serve the
coffee at once; If you must delay,
keep the coffee piping hot, but
never let the finished product boil.
A clean coffee pot is another point
to remember. and in purchasing
any coffee pot or coffee.making de.
vice, bear this in mind. The brown
sediment which collects in a coffee

CIRCUS TRAININ .S0. WlNDAAM CRASH
None Injured but Caboose Is De
 stroyed

South windham, Conn.,, June 22 @-The caboose of the freight train known as Pal was demolished and burned and tank car just ahead derailed but was gotten out of the way of fire danger, early this morning when the first section of a circus train ran into the freight about quarter of a mile from the station here. Nobody was injured.
 The circus train, one of several taking the Ringing Brothers Bar mum and Bailey circus from Provi- dence to Hartford, came up to the Pal, just as the latter had left car here and started to move on. : Engineer Bean succeeded in slow ing his train considerably before the crash. The forward trucks of his engine were derailed and the engine damaged 50 that it was sometime before it could move. There were 25i cars in his train.
 A wrecking train,' brought from East Hartford, got the track cleared up about eight o'clock and both trains went on. Later sections of the the circus train. notified of the acci- dent. were sent over the shore line division by way of New London and Saybrook, to Hartford. Engineer Levine and Conductor Sauter were in charge of the freight train.

PASSERS,f|nED
 F0R USING TRACKS
Judgb Prouiss to Double PM-
 dtJ for Ntlt 0iltase

Imposing a fine of q without cost in each of II eases of trespass- tng on railroad property. in police court today, Judge w. C. Hunger ford suggested that those arrested yesterday by the railroad police spread warning among their fac tory associates that all who come be- fore the court on this charge here after will be fined at least twice the amount charged Ut this time. The railroad company. he said, has ap- parently done everything possible to discourage trespassers from risktng their lives by walking the tracks. even to the extent of stAtionins uni- formed officers for several days to warn those who have been accus- toned to using the tracks for high way purposes. The railroad officials have sought in this way to protect the trespassers from danger. for certainly none of the 1T who were arrested would injure | locomotive should they collide with it. he ob- ,,crved.
 When the cases were called, An- selo >Tata of 1s1 Washington street was the only absentee. despite the fact that none had been required to post bonds. Some pleaded guilty and others said they. did not under stand the charge. Some had nothing to say. while others pleaded that :hey had not been warned against trespasslng and were not aware of tho probability of being arrested. All who were asked if they had walked the tracks prior to yester- day replied negatively. fact that caused Assistant Prosecuting Attor- ney W. M. Greenstein to comment. one of the group said his wife is away this week and he planned to have his meals in a restaurant on tho railroad arcade, which is easily reached by way of the railroad property from Elm street west.
 Frank and Angelo. Napoiitano of 313 Church street. brothers. said they started to trespass but turned back when they saw the railroad policemen rounding up the others. Officer Smith. however saw them and placed them under arrest. Off, ficer Smith testified that he was de- tailed to keep those arrested in cus- tody In the baggage room at the passenger station and while there he saw the Napolitano brothers start down the tracks and then retrace their steps as they called to others to do likewise. He stepped out and arrested them.
 Captain Ralph H. Kingsley of the railroad police testified that every effort had been made to prevent trespassing and for a short time after the uniformed officers had been stationed to warn track walk CTS. the condition appeared to have been cleared up nicely. A few days ago. however, trespassing was re- sumed and 1t was decided to take the final step and make the arrests.
 After court, Tata appeared and was assessed the fine of $1. which he paid.

HARLEM REJOICES
 AT DANGERS LUCK
Plans Big Reception to Its Fa- :. nous Josephine

New York, June 22 UP)-Harlem may be a little skeptical about Jos. ephine Baker and her count, but just tho same it is anxious to welcome her back home.
 Through the music halls and the cabarets of New York's great negro section last night, the stories of Jos ephine were sung and shouted while orchestras played louder and dances danced harder, all because the little dark girl who once danced in the second TOW of a third rate chorus now calls herself countess.
 Some of Josephine's friends. are inclined to point out that Josephine always was great girl to get her. name in the papers. Dispatches from Paris have told of her announcement of her marriage to Count Pepito AL batino Due Cont Veneti but no one in Harlem seems to have heard of Pepito nor had Josephine told her friends about him.
 But that doesn't make any differ ence to Harlem.
 Shell be in Harlem in five or six weeks" Sam Tolson, veteran negro theatrical producer who knows Josephine well, told the United Press.
 And when she comes across from Liberty the lower shore of Manhattan is going to be solid black"
 He argued that count or no count. it made no difference. Josephine, he said, now is the highest salaried negro woman in the world and that distinction alone would entitle her to . reception.
 Newspaper pictures of the new countess and clippings of the ac- count of her marriage adorned the walls of Harlem's clubs. Tongues of the social and theatrical elite wagged with her name.

Any student who makes a "Bn

SHE'LL BE A
DEAD TOWN N
Stores to Close for First
Afternoon Of, Fair
Incorporate Soon

Anyone who comes to town the
first afternoon of the fair will have
to go to the Rodeo if he doesn't
care to be alone, for every busi-
ness house in town today signed
up to close their places from one
o'clock until four that afternoon.
Everything will be closed down
tight and the whole town willlat-
tend the amusement features at
the fair that afternoon. Some of
the places will open at four and
remain open later than usual in
the evening.
All committees at work on the
fair report progress this week and
the meeting of the board Tuesday
night was taken up largely with
the matter of Incorporating the as
sociation and arranging >for the
purchase of the grounds. The board
OF directors Of the irrigation dis
trict have made a most acceptable
proposition to the fair for the pur-
chase Of the ten acres and the deal
will be closed as soon as possible
and the association incorporated.

cent of the annual cost of the
spray.
The Kelley orchard. which COW
ers 80 acres, had from 400 to 500
bats on it up to July list. Before
that time there had also been one
calyx and two cover sprays ap-
piled, but since then nothing has
been done. In spite of this, Cong
don's incredulous eyes could detect
not one stin gor sign Of a worm
in the entire orchard. A demon
stration and test tree which had
been given only the calyx spray
showed up as clean as the rest.
In previous years an average of 10
per cent of the crop had to be dis
carded because of worms. Congdon
says that he has already sprayed
nine times this year and that his
orchard is full of stings and worms.
Considerable interest is being
taken in the discovery on which
DR.. Miller has been working for
some time and he believes that ex-
citement will rise as more and
more people like Congdon, realize
the immense possibilities opened.

BIG PRIZES
FOR RODEO
Pat Owens Says Riders
Will Earn Their Mon
ey at Fair Feature

The rodio feature of the fair
this year should prove fine draw
ing card, for several exceptionally
fine prizes have been hung up for
the best riders by Pat Owens, who
has the affair in charge. Mr..
Owens announced this week that
there would be purse of fifty
dollars, one for thirty and one. for
twenty for various wild west
stunts to be pulled off by ssbucka-
zoos" from this section.
Mr.. Owens thinks that the priz-
es are of sufficient size to attract
some of the best riders in the
game. And he declares that he has
bucking material on hand which
will make the riders earn their
money too. He now has D string Of
fifteen trained horses for the buck
ing contests, relay races, trick and
fancy riding stunts, and is in touch
with the owners of about fifteen
more.
The Kennewick fair dates are
just right for securing many of
these features. It is the week be-
fore the Yakima fair and Pendle-
ton celebration and the Indians
and the riders and other attrac-
tions have open dates that week.
Mr.. Martin, who has charge Of
the amusement features at the
fair, states that he will call the
ball game sharp at three o'clock,
no matter who is ahead or what
inning it is. This will allow every
one to see the rodeo which will
start Immediately. Arrangements
have been made to have at least
two features taking place in the
rodeo all the time for about an
hour, after which the street races
and other stunts will be started in
town.

ON-STOP TRIP
is SUCCESSFUL.
Local Voyagers Travel so
Light they Even Leave
Compass Behind

Pulsating with energy, The Spir-
It Of Fun took off from the west
bank Of the Columbia river Tues
day night on . nonstop flight to
the Pasco shores. The trip was
made in record-breaking time, and
like Lindbergh, Byrd, Maitland
and the others, the sturdy motor
was powered with Red Grown and
fabricated with Zerolene. (John D.
please kick thru for this adv.)
The ship was under the direct
charge of Commander Ralph Mat
.thews, assisted by Navigator Russ
Day. The mechanical crew consist
ed Of Ross Willsey and ]. w.
Graves. Provisions carried for the
trip were even lighter than that
provided for Col. Lindbergh, fer
the only stores laid in were three
half packages of Camels and a
new package of Chesterfields.
The final tuning up of the pow
erful Ford motor was given. the
boat just prior to the launching,
and the crew is loud in its praises
of the manufacturer who built the
engine which permitted their mo-
mentous journey across the Column
bia and return. They all work in
the local Ford shop.
Anyway, their craft is a neatly
built 24-foot launch, powered with
q Ford motor and kicks up about
fifteen miles per hour. The boat
will seat ten or twelve passengers
and the owners are anticipating a
lot Of sport this summer on the
river.
This boat is the second Kenne-
wick craft to be launched on the
river. Marvin Carnahan has built
a thirty-foot flat-bottomed boat
which he has christened The Spirit
of Work. It is a sturdy craft with
a Dodge power plant and will trav-
el at about the. same speed as the
prettier boat, Owing to its con-
struction the larger boat draws
much less water and skins the
surface instead of cleaving.
The boating enthusiasts predict
that this form of sport will find
great favor in this section as the
conditions are ideal. Several other
people have plans laid for getting
boats and next year should see a
lively interest displayed.
