Pumpkin Staple Food
of Early Colonists

On New England farms the pump
kin is valuable article of food today
as it was 300 years ago. 1t is easy to
grow, easy TO cook and easy to keep
in a dried form. One Colonial poet
showed his appreciation in this coup
Vet:
We have pumpkins at morning and
pumpkins at noon;
II It were not for pumpkins we should
be undone.
Although there were many ways In
which the fruit was prepared, stewed
pumpkin sauce and pumpkin bread
were among the most popular. In
making the bread, half quantity of
Indian meal was used and the loaf
was not particularly attractive in ap
pearance. A traveller in New Hamp
shire in 1904 wrote of pumpkin bread
as an awkward food" Occasionally
one still finds 1t in rural sections OF
Connecticut and Rhode Island.
The Indian custom of cutting the
rind from pumpkins, strlnging the
pieces and drying them was followed
by the white ColOnists.

Workers in Wrought
Iron Hiphly Skilled

The craft Of wrought iron bears an
honorable lineage. II Is generally re-
garded as an offshnot from the more
ancient craft Of the arm0rer. who was
an Indispensable figure In every
feudal community. The training Of
these arm0rerS in manipulating metals
into delicate forms and weddings, and
their skill in chasing and inlaying de
fensive armOr. found opportunity ia
display its talents in the grilleS. gates
locks and hinges OF the feudal castle
II! eli The church as well demanded
skilled design and workmanship in
this same direction
The craft soon sJrpad all over civ
ilized Europe, each country Stampin"
upon it the impress Of its own national
character. In their turn, the Ameri.
can craftsmen succeeded in evolving n
distinctive style, which Is simple and
graceful in motif. II Is from these
early designs that work for modern
residences Is being made by American
craftsmen and by HE more ambitious
commercial workers in iron.

Big Python Resented
Inuasion of Poacher

There is at least one bush-vellt
farmer who is not so keen on poach-
ing as he used to be. One afternoon
he fancied a little venison, so he set
of with a gun but no license-and dis
appeared.
1t was not until the following Sun
day afternoon that search party dis
covered his legs protruding from an
antbear hole, and extricated him, more
dead than alive.
He had wounded a stembok, and the
animal had made dive for the shell
ter of the antbear hole. The hunter
followed, and, with his head and Shout
ders underground, just managed to
grip the animal.
A frantic jerk on the bucks part,
however, wedged the hunter tightly,
and his struggles only shifted the
loose red sand, so that he was trapped.
The most he could do was to twis;
slightly, allowing a little light TO pene-
trate-wherein he was able to see Il
python cOiled up within a few feet of
his face.
The python attacked the strange Wis
itOr, but the hunter kept 1t off by
throwing sand in Its face, while Its
efforts to coll itself round him were
foiled by the fact that he was tightly
wedged in the opening
For two whole days and nights the
hunter and the python thus faced each
other until help came in the nick of
time

reasonably safe and inexpensive.
Among other modern conveniences
which travellers enjoy today is quick
communication. They may now talk
from anywhere to anywhere, quickly
and at a reasonable cost.
For the convenience OF travellers
many Of the fast trains Of the country
and also the leading steamship lines
are equipped with telephones, so that
as long as they remain at the terminal
station or dock travellers may say their
last minute good-byes or take care OF
any overlooked business matter that
requires attention without the incon-
venience Of leaving the train or ship
as the case may be.
Also resorts of every nature includ-
ing hotels and many camping places
have telephone facilities enabling peo-
pie to keep in touch with business and
! friends here, there and everywhere.
| In this respect as in many others,
travelling cOnveniences in the United
States surpass those Of any other coun-
i try in the world. Any traveller who
has visited foreign lands will readily
testify to this fact. Certainly there
is no comparison in the telephone
service IN this country and abroad.

AIDING AVIATION

Far more important than stunt North Atlantic from east to west, arc inc aviation experiments being con iuctcd with planes hopping from steamers 500 miles out at sea.
 This involves a development Of aviation that needs II, one that has a practical advantage for hurried travellers across the ocean. IL is one of the schemes incident 10 the establishment Of ocean liners from New London.
 When it is possible 10 20 by plane from land 10 an ocean liner 500 miles out at sea: and then go by plane from the liner 10 land when the ship Is 50o miles from land on the other side, it will mean that person can cross the Atlantic in three days.
 This method, too, is not one de- pending altogether upon the quality Of the weather over q span of 5000 miles. It is much more likely for a plane to enjoy good flying weather during trip Of 800 miles than over a route Of 5000 miles.
 
 The coordination of planes and ships, when it is developed thor oughly, will make 1t possible to cross the Atlantic quicker than a train can travel between the Atlanpc and the Pacific. It would be the epitome of high class travel overseas; and though it naturally would cost more, there no doubt are plenty of travel CTS whose time is valuable who would be glad of the opportunity to knock two days from the trip if it can be done in safety.

A SPELLING CONTEST

The person who when writing can spell every word he handles without having recourse to the dictionary IS a rara avis, one Of those beings who simply do not exist. Certainly, he Is not to be found in newspaper offices, where writers are trained not to take chances, even if they think they know how to spell "didynamous' without further ado. Everyone who has wrestled with Mother English as she happens to be knows fully that there is no better way of being sure about a thing than Hooking it up in the dictionary" That's why they are best sellers.
 The Herald's annual spelling bee in the schools serves an end that comments itself to all educators. If there is enc thing that irritates a business man employer 1t is when an employe- graduate from the edu- cational institutions as We have them must consult the dictionary for the spelling of very ordinary words, such as every supposedly educated person should know how to spell auto maticallv. And nothing attains the end of good spelling as a special ef- tort in that direction, as q spelling bee inevitably stimulates. Only one can win the trip to Washington, but everyone who takes part in such a contest gains from it.
 Details Of the contest, although not yet thoroughly worked out, will not differ materially from those of former years, and every eighth grade pupil should prepare now in order to be able to make good showing when the time arrives. Waiting until the spelling bee actu- ally starts is one way; but better way is to drill up on spelling as carly as possible.
 The spelling bee has been an out standing success every year. IL will be an even graater success this year.
