HOW TO TEST FLOUR

The very best test of flour is to
bake it into The form in which it is to
be used" is what every experienced
housewife will tell you. But there are
scsoe other indications which will
show quality. before you go TO the
expense of making the purchase.
These are color, odor, taste, feel and
granulation.
If you have been in the habit of con-
sidering Whiteness as a criterion OF
good flour, you are wrong. The natural
color of flour from hard wheat is a
creamy, or slightly yellowish tinge. In
fact, dazzling swhiteness is pretty
sure TO indicate bleaching. A grayish
tinge usually means the presence of
refuse matter or that the flour has
been ground from spoiled grain. Some.
times, If you look through magnify
ing glass, you can detect the tiny black
specks in -four Of this kind.
Good flour should have pleasant
wheaty odor, and should taste like the
freshly ground grain. 1t should be
free, from 'sourness and disagreable
smells.
Test your flour by gripping hand
full. If it remains in the shape of the
hand when squeezed, and retains the
impression of the fingers, you are per-
fectly safe in buying it. But after a
moment, it should fall apart quite
readily. Squeezing is also a good way
of telling hard wheat -four from soft
as hard wheat flour falls apart more
readily. ~
Flour should never contain so much
moisture that it can be pinched up into
pellets by the fingers. You can easily
detect dampness by thrusting the hand
into a sack of -four
Good flour should be granulated suf-
ficiently to show some slight grittiness
when rubbed between the fingers. This
will be more characteristic, however
of hard wheat flour than of soft. Toe
much grittiness may indicate that corn
meal has been ground with it. One test
for corn admixture is to dry a pinch,
but not scorch it, and rub between the
fingertips. Pure white flour will not
then feel gritty, but corn, no matter
how finely ground, will still remain
little rough. Another test for the
presence of cornmeal is to wet a
small pinch until it is very soft, then
take it between the thumb and fingers
and try to spin thread. If it spins,
all is well and good, but If it makes
only blobs on the ends Of the fingers
very likely corn meal has been added.

the prize. This boy will warrant
watching in future tournaments, for
he is a coming star.
Sunday morning and afternoon the
championship was fought out in 36
hole match between Carl Smith and S.
E. Stretton, Carl coming through with
a 4 up 3 to play victory. The prize
was well worth fighting for-two
large thermos bottles in a durable
leather case.
In the four consolation matches,
participants being the losers in the
first round play Of the various flights,
Harry Parker Of Jerome won in Flight
A from A. Lee Moore up / to play.
In Flight B, H. b. Warnock defeated
Joe Wilson 5 up to play. In Flight

Del Strong by a score of 4 up 3 to

Approximately 13O were in attend
ance at the dinner-dance Saturday
evening at the Monte Vista. The
favors lent color and noise to the
happy gathering and all present,
visitors and members Of the local golf
club, were well satisfied with the en-
tertainment furnished.
This tournament is the first one Of
what is to be an annual occasion.
August each year will find tourna-
ment planned for all golfers of Ari-
zona and next years will find double
the number of visitors if those who
attended from outside Flagstaff carry
out their intention of bringing at
least one other player next year. Flag
staff secured some splendid advertis-
ing from this tournament and the
local club members who put over this
successful gathering deserve con-
gratulations. The city merchants,
through contributions, made possible
the tournament, without drawing on
the funds of the Flagstaff Country
club, and each one of them merits the
gratitude Of our local club.
The final 36 holes between Smith
and Stretton on Sunday afternoon
attracted lot of attention and the
gallery increased steadily to the end.
Both played wonderful golf Their
being law, sons Of the pop
ular Billy Mullen of Ray and Oak
Creek, himself a consistently good
medalist, added to the interest in their
match The afternoon before Stretton
defeated his dad-in-law Billy made
the first four holes in four each, but
the younger man got three Of them in
three.
Smith, champion Of the Ell Molino
club at Phoenix, was closely pressed
all the way during their final 36 holes
by Stretton, but the latter in the mid
die of the last round got into the
rough, then across into the rough, then
against a tree, and the combination
gave him mental bump that con-
tributed as much to his defeat as did
the loss Of that particular hole.

DR.. Gammage told of the recent
meeting in behalf of museum for
Flagstaff, said that another would be
held soon, and expressed belief that
the committee will iron out all differ
ences of opinion as to the location and
management of the museum and keep
on until it is established.
Mr.. Bennett stressed the need for
an aviation field, the one located two
years ago later having been decided
not to be large enough, and said that
a field, which undoubtedly can be
found near here, ultimately would
prove of immense benefit to this COM
munity.
Senator Hayden referred to his re-

while he was in Spain by the king that
that country should wake up to the
need for better facilities for tourists

Sees Beer Permit
AS Enforcing Aid

Observation-Disclosures of the
Volstead act, to permit the sale of 2. rs
per cent beer was suggested here by
James C. Waddell, retiring supervisor
of alcohol and brewery control of the
prohibition bureau, as the only way
to put dry law enforcement on fun
damentally sound basis.
Attacking present enforcement con-
ditlons as farcical, Waddell, who leaves
office September 2, declared his adj
yocacy of 2.75 per cent beer simply
was suggestion to those Americans
who wish to see prohibition enforced
to bring about the prevention of
drunkenness.
1T obviously is no wedge to pave
the way for return to the old saloon
conditions because beverages of suf-
ficient alcoholic content to become in
toxicating are prohibited by the 18th
amendment" he said, adding that his
views point to the same goal as those
of the temperance organizations"

Chiricahua mountains.
Professor Chuhn was on the first
scientific expedition into the Arctic;
he has also collected specimens in
Mexico, Africa, India, Siberia and
other countries.
He has found specie of primrose
in the Chiricahua mountains, the only
other known specimens of this plant
being found in Siberia. Blueberries,
found only north of Shasta on the
coast range, are also quite abundant.
A large spotted owl was shipped to
the academy recently, this owl being
native of Alaska, and this being the
only specimen found this far south
A number Of boxes of moths, insects,
ETC., have already been shipped to the
academy and large quantities are in
process of preparation at present.
Professor Chulin reports seven dis
tinct varieties Of valley quail and also
the fool quail IN the higher altl-

white tail deer, the smaller Virginia
white tail, which is native to the
southeastern United States, as well as
the larger specie of white tail, native

to Grand Canyon, Senator Hayden said
that it should not be built by either
state or county, as it is for the use Of
the people of the entire United States
to make better available to them one
of their greatest national parks. But
before the federal government will
build the road, he said, there must be
agreement among the people of this
county as to its location. He alluded
to the survey recently made by the
United States bureau of public roads
from Grand Canyon to point on the
National Old Trails two miles this side
of Williams as being four or five miles
shorter than the Maine Grand Canyon
road.

FRANK MATSON AND MULE
FELL TOGETHER--LIG

Frank Matson was leading a mule
on the Pollock ranch which is leased
by his brother, Andy Matson. Light
ming struck near by as man and mule
were crossing barbed wire fence.
Both were knocked flat, though Frank
was not unconscious. He couldn't
move for while and watched the
surprised mule kick and roll in an
effort to right himself and finally
succeed and dash away from there
as fast as he could. 1t took Frank
a long time to emulate the mule.

Q.-What organization charters
city central labor bodies?
A.-City centrals are chartered by
the American Federation Of Labor.
Q.-What is the trade jurisdiction
of the Metal Polishers' International
Union?
A.-Metal polishing, buffing and
plating.
Q.-What is "Fabianism"?
A.-Politically, the doctrine or
method of making haste slowly" the
term being derived from the name of
Quintus Fabius Maximum, Roman
general noted for his very cautious
and dilatory tactics.
Q.-Who wrote definition of ''the
American standard of living" that is
often quoted? What was the defini-
ton?
A.-John Mitchell, in his "Organ-
lied Labor" gave a definition that is
often referred to as being as good as
any definition of the somewhat vague
term, "the American standard Of liv-
ing" He said: "The American stand
ard of living should mean, to the
ordinary unskilled workman, with an
average family, a comfortable house
of at least six rooms. 1t should mean
bathroom, good sanitary plumbing,
parlor, dining room, kitchen, and
sufficient sleeping room that decency
may be preserved and reasonable de-
gree of comfort maintained. The
American standard of living should
mean to the unskilled workman car
pets, pictures, books and furniture
with which to make the home bright,
comfortable, and attractive for him
self and his family, an ample supply
of clothing suitable for winter and
summer, and above all sufficient
quantity of good, wholesome, nourish-
ing food at all times of the year.
The American standard of living,
moreover, should mean to the unskill-
ed workman that his children be kept
in school until they have attained to
the age of sixteen at least, and that
he be enabled to lay by sufficient to
maintain himself and family in times
of illness, or at the close of his in
dustrial life, when age and weakness
render further work impossible, and
to make provision for his family
against his premature death from
accident or otherwise"

80 Per Cent Of
Average Income
Goes For Food

Thirty EIGHT per cent of the average
mans total income goes to the pur-
chase of food, according to nutrition
specialists. Percentage of the aver
age income taken by food has in
creased 18 per cent in twenty years.
In 1907, one-ffth of the working
mans income was deemed sufficient
for food. At that time the bill for
the entire nation at retail food stores
was only $4,OO0,OOO,OOO. This sum
was doubled in 1921 and has mounted
steadily since.
The average American eats more
than his weight in meat each year, as
is shown by the fact that the per
capita consumption of meat last year
was 165 pounds or A of a pound per
day, with a value of about 1900 cal
ories a pound. Consumption Of
candy, which is food that averages
double the energy value of meat,
pound for pound, amounted to one bite
per day per person. Milk and milk
products accounted for twenty cents
out of every food dollar.
Clothing in the average family
budget costs less than half the sum
paid for food. Cost of fuel and lights
is one-seventh that of food.

CHILD LABOR DAY
REMINDS PUBLIC

Albany, N. Y.-Governor Smith
has proclaimed May 1st as Child
Health Day ito the end that the minds
of the public and all agencies in
terested in the work of child welfare
may be directed to the Importance of
the preservation of health and the
saving of lives of the future citizens
of this state.'
The proclamation pointed out that
the state has made notable progress
in the reduction of deaths among in
fants from preventable diseases, but
added that much remained to be done.
"The principles Of right living, in
order to be effective, are best taught
during the years of childhood" the
governor said.

CHINESE AWAKEN.
WILL FINALLY WIN

Washington.-Support of the Chi.
nese nationalist movement was record
ed by E. H. Hayes, missionary worker
in China, speaking at a luncheon given
by the "Y's" Mems Club.
I'VE hear much of Christian
and anti-foreign movements in China
but when one understands things done
to the Chinese he will favor many of
these movements, as / have" said Mr..
Hayes.
The speaker drew a startling pic
ture of Chinese exploitation by for
eigners and the contempt with which
they are treated. He said three
fourths of Shanghai is controlled by
the western powers, and that signs in
public parks read: "No dogs or Chi
nese allowed"
Mr.. Hayes said the Chinese are
awakening and it is folly to attempt
to check their aspirations.
"We have speed and efficiency, but
the Orientals have a culture and a
civilization that dates back 5000
years." he said. "The Chinese are
beginning to compare our fine profess
sions of lofty idealism with what we
actually do. This outlook is sweeping
the Far East and every attempt at
force makes matters worse, as it
justifies the claim that we talk one
way and act another" said Mr.. Hayes.

CHILD LABOR INCREASES

That the number of children of
fourteen and fifteen years of age en-
tering industry during the past year
has increased in eight out of twelve
states, and in twenty-four out of
twenty mine cities, is the report of the
children's bureau. This trend indi-
Gates conditions of grave concern to
our nation. As it is our accepted
social policy that children should have
free and equal educational opportun-
tiles, we have the problem of elimi-
mating whatever interferes with that
ideal.
There are three major remedies that
may be applied: ratification of the
proposed child labor amendment au-
thorizing congress to enact child la
Dor regulatory legislation; strength
ening the provisions and the enforce
ment of stat child labor laws; and
better compulsory school attendance
laws. No one of these methods ex-
cludes the other two. Simultaneous
progress by the routes would hasten
the end of child labor.
Of the cities reporting, Fall River,
Mass, with 43.7 per cent increase
leads, followed by such increases as
New Britain, Connecticut, 37.4 per
cent; Yonkers, 35.2 per cent; New
Bedford, Mass, 1873 per cent; Bridge
port, Conn.,, 29.8 per cent; Reading,
Penna., 27.9 per cent, and Philadel
phia, 249 per cent. The District of
Columbia shows a decrease of 67.5
per cent, which reflects the results Of
a new school attendance standard that
child remain in school until sixteen
years of age, unless he had previously
the eighth grade.
These returns show the need of con-
structive provision to keep children
in school and out of the factories.
