The Short Course work this year
will be given from June IS to 70.
Arrangements are being made for
many prominent lecturers, and the
popularity of the work among the
women of the state insures a capacity
attendance.
II the Short Course for rural women
has demonstrated anything in the FIVE
years since its inauguration, it is that
the rural woman has the knack of
adapting herself readily to new and
untried conditions. The increasing
attendance has left no doubt about
the ability of the rural woman to step
gracefully from the door Of her home
one day and to be perfectly at ease
the next in the environment Of the
classroom and laboratory.
It is not difficult to understand what
a week at the University Of Maryland
means to the rural woman who is able
to take advantage of 1t. First of all
comes the instruction, provided ON q
generous scale among practical lines.
They acquire knowledge of foods and
nutrition, discover new ways of cook.
ing and serving meals, gather hints
here and there on appetizing salads
and tempting desserts, and gain bet.
ter understanding of the processes of
canning and preserving.
To understand how eagerly the
rural woman grasps the opportunity
provided by the course in clothing and
millinery, it is only necessary to OBJ
serve the close interest of the class in
these subjects. The essentials of cos
tune planning, the selection of tex
tiles, the choice of suitable millinery
and the construction of attractive and
inexpensive hats are ever popular and
absorbing subjects.
The convenience, comfort and at
tractiveness of her home are other
matters OF appealing interest to the
average rural woman. From the lee
lures and demonstrations in house
hold management and house furnish
ing, many new and practical ideas in
the renovation Of furniture, the proper
choice of color combinations, in the
use OF correct drapery materials and
in the selection of suitable furniture
are carried back home from the Short
Course to be put into use. Equally
valuable suggestions for the exterior
improvement of the home are obtained
from the course in landscape garden,
ing.
And so 1t is with the other courses:
with dairying, with poultry, health,
parliamentary law, and citizenship.
From all of them the rural woman 10

spiration.
The instruction provided during the
Short Course. however, is but one OF
the appealing features of the week at
the University of Maryland. The relief
from routine of household duties, op
portunlties to meet new people, to
make new friendships and exchange
ideas are of value in giving the rural
woman a real week of relaxation and
profit.

In these days chemistry is enabling
man to make over some of the most
useful metals very much at his will
and greatly to his profit. In England
interesting reports have been made on
the properties of alloys Of copper,
aluminium and manganese, which
show remarkable pecuiiarities. An
alloy of So per cent copper, 900 per
cent aluminium and POI per cent man
ganese showed enormous tensile
strength, a cold-drawn bar having a
yield point of 40.SS tons per square
inch and an ultimate stress of SOS
tons per square inch. Another alloy
is so hard that 1t can take a cutting
edge sharp enough to sharpen a lead
pencil. The British admiralty has
been experimenting with these alloys
In order to determine their resistance
to corrosion in sea water.
