NURSERY PROVIDES
MECHANICAL TEST
Nothing More Or Less Than a
Block Puzzle Of Wood

West Lynn, Mass. Aug. II F-
The nursery has come to industry
with device for measuring mechan-
ical aptitude among applicants for
jobs requiring such ability.
1t is nothing more nor less than
a block puZzle-a square of wood
iigsawed into nine wigsly pieces
which. after being shuffled. can be
reassembled in only one way. As
employed in the West Lynn works

indicator of innate mechanical apt

Among 1000 persons who have
assembled the blocks. the fastest
thousand completed the task in two
and three quarters minutes or less.
while the slowest thousand required
more than six minutes Many OF
these individuals were mature hold
ers of responsible positions. and by
segregating them INTO groups It is
possible, in the opinion of Francis
L. keane and Johnson O'Connor OF
the eompanys human engineering

"All of the data which can be

Engineers solve the puzzle rapidly.

Calculating that FIVE years wipe

HIGH ENGLISH TARIFF
HITS PORTUGAL WINES
Panic IN Vineyards Caused BY
Enormous Decrease in Export
of Wine

Oporto, Portugal. Aug. II Pl-An
enormous decrease has taken place
in the port wine export trade and
there is panic among the vineyards
of Portugal, ine-producing centers
and the Oporto wine Gerchants.
They are faced with the difficulty of
getting rid of last years stocks to
prepare for the new vintage.
Nearly 10000 pipes of unexport
ed port wi.e of the best quality re-
main in the Douro region, and 1t is
calculated that another 10000 are
awaiting shipment in the south,
amounting to the total value Of
SIS 900, 900.
The decrease was due to the in
creased customs tariff payable in
England, which used to be about

Formerly an average of $4,000
pipes passed annually out through
the Douro Bar. now this amount is
reduced by one-third.
The newspapers are drawing at
tention of this serious situation
which is likely to reduce to starva-

nected with vineyards and the wine

BY JESSIE A. KNOX.

Cool. sparkling. deliciously favored
beverages provide the August hostess
with simple means for increasing her
popularity. A shady porch or lawn. a
table, a tray of attractive glassware
filled with tinkling iced drinks offer a
welcome that seldom fails to be thor
oughly appreciated.
Fruit juices are cooling in their effect
on the system. and as they supply min
eral salts and vitamins they have their
place in the daily diet. The sugar used
for Sweetening adds energy value. and
when one of the carbonated beverages
is combined with the fruit juices the
healthful qualities of such drinks are
increased.
Before giving any specific directions
there are few general hints that must
always be observed IN the making Of
cold beverages First, be very careful
not to have such drinks too sweet
Second. for Sweetening use the sugar
syrup rather than plain sugar. The
sugar itself seldom diSsoiveS sufficiently
and often forms an unattractive layer
at the bottom OF the pitcher. bowl or
glass
Third. always combine a tart fruit
Juice with q sweet A little lemon Juice
will bring out the flavor of the more
delicately favored fruits
Fourth. be very careful not to have
your fruit drinks too diluted.
Fifth combination drinks are gener-
ally preferred to those made with one
fruit Juice alone Lemonade is the
most popular exception to this rule.
However, there are very few people
who know how to make really good
lemonade, generally because they do
not use enough lemon juice and do not
understand the blending of the drink.
The sugar syrup that we advised as
sweetening for beverages OF this type
is made by cooking together one cup OF
graduated sugar and two cups Of water
boiling the mixture for FIVE minutes.
This may be kept in a glass jar IN the
ice box 10 use as needed
For one quart of real good lemonade
squeeze the Juice Of three lemons then
peel of the rind of one. Pour one cup
Of hot sugar syrup over the lemon rind
and let stand until cold. Then strain
and add 10 the lemon juice with three
cups Of cold water Pour into glasses
containing good tablespoon Of finely
cracked ice. A thin slice Of lemon used
for garnish adds to the attractiveness
OF the drink. or gprig OF mint or a

Electric RefrigeratOrS.
With an electric refrigerator one is
independent of the iCeman and the Ills
which usually attend his arrival The
air in such a refrigerator is kept at
much lower temperature than is posi-
bic in an ordinary ice chest and one
is able TO make a variety of delicious
frozen or chilled desserts with less than
half the usual effort. An important
feature of these refrigeratorS is their
automatic action. They take care of
themselves, needing no personal control.

is the advantage of always having
available a supply Of small blocks of
ice This means that ice creams. cold
drinks and all sorts Of cold dishes
which hitherto have been dependent
upon supplies of ice from the iceman
are now available whenever wanted.
This in itself is a great convenience,
for it enlarges considerably the scope
of hot-weather menus.
AS to the cost of current. compared
TO the cost of ice from the iceman,
that depends upon many factors. and
it is hard to make general comparisons.
The saving effected in food and labor
and the convenience of constant. even
refrigeration make up for the differ
ence in cost of current. If you own an
electric refrigerator. follow the manu-
facturerS instructions carefully with
regard to special care of machinery and
defrosting. Defrost Systematically. De-
frosting with these refrigeratorS means
turning off the current until the frost
has melted from the coils If you are
going away for several days, empty the
refrigerator of food. turn off the cur
rent and leave the door open.
