DISCOVERY of Butter
Credited to Accident

Credit for the origin Of butter is
romantic story of the cow-"The Path
of the Gopatis" Uord of the Cows),
issued by the National Dairy council.
"The Arabians first knew butter as
an accident when carrying milk by
camel" says this authority. ut was
necessary for them to sour their milk
to preserve 1t, as there were no re-
frigerators on the desert. The sour
milk was stored in skin bags, which
could be slung across the back Of the
camels. One day on opening a skin
they found floating around In the
liquid Jumps of something soft, but
solid. They tasted it and found it de-
licious. They rubbed 1t upon their
faces and marveled at how beautiful
1t made them.
"Later they hit upon an idea of
making this delicacy. They tied some
of the skin sacks Of milk to the backs
of their fastest horses and roCe them
at top speed, back and forth, up and
down the sands of the desert. That
was the first butter ever made, more
than $500 years before Christ. But
it was an expensive and dangerous
process to run the tribes best horses
at breakneck speed, and butter then
was only used as a rare ointment and
in the choicest foods for the most spe-
cial occasions. Finally, they discov-
cred more prosaic, but less pre-
carious means of attaining the same
result. They laid the leathern sacks
upon the ground or hung them on
poles and beat them with sticks. Thus
they had supply of butter which
was reasonably easy to prepare"

Asia the word for King" and war
rior chief" was gopatis, but what
gopatis really meant was Lord of
the Cows" who also must be king and
warrior, since the possession and pro-
lection of cows were "the most
weighty and honorable duties of man
in that region. The people of the
Gopatis were the Aryans, the first
masters of the cows. To them the
possession of cattle meant health
happiness and wealth. 1t was con-
sidered crime to kill COW and the
penalty was made to fit the crime.
1t was that 1.-THE killer of a COW must
stay month in penitence, sleeping
in stable, following the cows, and
must purify himself by the gift of an
other cow"

The telephone l0Gs The deciding factor
In this outstanding engineering feat,
The chief engineer states.
In the construction of the new Car
quinez Bridge, recently opened for
traffic across the Craquinez Straits be-
tween Crockett and Vallejo, Cal, the
largest bridge of its type in the world,
he telephone proved to be an indispen-
sable tool and, in fact, If it had not
been for the telephone the bridge
could not possibly have been com
pleted so soon.
This bridge is 4482 feet in length,
contains two spans 100 feet each, has
a center tower of $50 feet, two anchor
arms of 500 feet each, and 1882 feet Of
approach on the Crockett side. The
only bridges that class with the Car
quinez Bridge are the Firth of Forth,
Scotland, and the Philadelphia and
Camden. The Quebec Bridge is
neither as large nor as long as the
Carquinez.
To facilitate the construction of this
gigantic structure the erecting COM
pany had control system of its own
with twelve telephone stations. 1t was
necessary to get into communication
with the erector crews on the north
side, so a two pair cable was laid on
the bottom of the Bay. A ship drag
ged an anchor through it and 1t was
replaced with another, but the swift
running current soon wore it out on
the rough rocks.
After the center tower of the bridge
was erected, the engineers strung a
messenger wire overhead and carried
both the telephone and power cables
on it. The chief engineer declares that
the telephone was the deciding factor
in the raising of the two great sus-
pended spans, as they allowed each
crew, each foreman, and the chief en-
giner in charge to be at all times In
direct communication with each other,
and, therefore, every move was known
by all and everything worked in uni
son.

"Sixty-five dollars, ehf" he said at
last. "Well, that's quite lot to pay
for a hat. Butt guess I've got the
money here"
Lillas heart bled as she saw him
counting out those precious bills one
after the other. They came hard, but
after all they cost him less than they
did her. She resolved to save until
she had that $65 back, every penny

Fly Is Some Traveller

The statement has often been made
that the fly rarely managed to get
more than a few hundred feet from
the place of Its birth unless 1t hap
pened to be carried on the wings of
a powerful wind, but recent expert
ments have shown that the fly will
frequently travel six miles in the
course of single day. These expert
ments took place In Texas and $4,000
flies of different species were trapped
and busted for Identification and then
released. Temptingly baited traps
were set for them at many points.
The maximum distance Travelled by
the fly in these experiments was II
trlhe more than 10 miles. Carried by
the winds they were found to travel
much greater distances.

Recent disclosures in the Chicago grain trade
indicate dishonest action in the handling of a most
important commodity. Action Of the Chicago
board of trade in suspendng the company under
suspicion is most warranted and timely.
When the farmers revolt started in the north
west, some very bitter propaganda broadcast
relative to grain companies and exchanges. In
fact the Nonpartisan League the outgrowth of
the equity cooperative movement, which sought to
abolish grain exchanges and place the handling of
that commodity strictly upon a cooperative basis.
Disclosures made in Chicago rather sustain some
of the contentious made at that time in far
member Of an exchange is concerned. The Chicago
board of trade, however, is seeking to ascertain
the truth before taking any drastic action The
worlds largest grain trade concern has been sus
pended from the Chicago board Of trade. Action
has been taken now which would not have been
possible decade ago. 1t shows that the agitation
attendant on the various farmers movements has
not been in vain
! Grain growers Of the northwest will watch with
interest the outcome Of this suspension. Much un-
fair propaganda, of course, is spread in the heat of
discussion, and many actions chargeable to boards
of trade in reality the sharp practices of in
dvidual members. When the boards Of trade at the
great primary markets Of the country realize their
responsibility and insist all Of the rules being
obeyed much of the criticism written and spoken
| regarding such agencies will cease.

Our Improved Diet

With the modern development Of refrigerator

transporting fresh fruit and vegetables, the aver

from the standpoint of health, than ever before.

and potatoes and bread and gravy in the summer
time, with an occasional salad dish of stewcd
fruit making it's appearance from time to time.
The perfection of cold storage methods made 1t
possible to keep many things of seasonabc nature
so as to supply steady all year demand. This
was the first step toward a better diet for the
American family. Then the refrigerator came
into being, enabling fresh fruits and vegetables
to be shipped for medium distances. Further
development Of freight and steamships has
resulted in the supplying of the finest fruits and
vegetables to every table in the land. The amount
of meat consumed in the United States is enormous,
but in the last few years the quantity Of fruits and
vegetables consumed has taken such tremendous

Farewell to the Collar Button

Perhaps no news within the memory of man has
been so welcome as the dispatch from London which
said that a woman had invented shirt that elm
mates the ancient sport of hunting for collar
button under bureau. That woman must
tainly have been married and must have witnessed
many frenzed searches, punctuatcd by soul-scaring
blasphcmy
1t is the one point on which many ships of marital
happiness have been wrecked Many wife has
had the first glimpse Of the brute who was her
husband, as he mouthcd horrible and rooted
under the edge of the rug for recacitrant collar
button Gone the tender loving spouse of the
honeymoon and in his place horrible stranger
who raved and rantcd calling upon high Heaven
to witness his martyrdom in searching for button
that refused to be found.
Men skeptical yet over the good news. 1t
is too good they point out, to be true this side of
the pcarly gates. A world without hide and-scck
collar button would be word without evil, Il
world without sin, beautiful place to live IN. They
will point out that many man has met death with
a smile because he believed that in the other world
one but sort of nightgown that did
not require collar buttons. The pangs of death
would indeed be small sum to barter for such
eternity of release from the tyranncal influence
of that invention Of Satan, the collar button.
If this lady inventor has achieved practca!

every man will rise and call her blessed and in the
days to come will erect monuments to her memory
and endow hospitals in her name that her glorious
contribution to suffering humanity may be ade-
