URGES SAFEGUARDS
AGAINST BACTERIA
Scientist Suggests Ices and Sher-
bets, as Well as Ice Cream,
Should Be Analysed.

MANHATTAN, Kans. P).-Bacterial
analysis of the increasingly popular
water ices and sherbets, as well as the
ice creams, which are offered to the
public is suggested by A. G. Fay, dairy
bacteriologist of the Kansas Agricul-
tural experiment station, as a simple
way to check up on plant methods and
equipment.
In view of the fact that ices and
sherbetS for the most part are made
from ingredients usually considered re-
latively free from bacteria" he OBJ
serves, very little attention has been
paid to their sanitary control.
t"It seems logical to assume that ice
or sherbet mixes which have been made
from high grade products would con-
If proceSSed in clean equipment and
carefully aged at low temperature, the
bacterial content of the finished prod
uct should also be relatively low. II
the bacterial content of a Sherbet or
a water ice is high, the most likely
sources of contamination are poorly
washed utensils, improper againg
temperature, or in case of a sherbet, to
the addition of ice cream mix or dairy
products of poor quality.
THE relatively low bacterial con-
tent of water ice or Sherbet enables
the detection of equipment contamina-
ton of lesser magnitude than would
be possible with other products, such
as ice cream or milk.
THE ice cream maker who is at
tempting to cater to the increasing
public demand for foods of high sani-
tary quality may very profitably give
heed to the results of bacterial analysis
Of his water ices and sherbets."

PHILADELPHIA, November l.
While about $50 men were in the yard
Of the Gulf Refining Co. plant during
the noon hour yesterday, four men
with pistols and Sawed-off shotguns
overpowered a Waterman, held up 16
other persons in the office of the sales

They drove away through gate, near

nothing of the hold-up
Thomas Hutchinson, so, Waterman,
saw the automobile drive past him at
gate, and stop in front of the office
building 200 feet away. Hutchinson
had orders to allow no automobiles in

AS the men stepped out of the car
Hutchinson accosted them. Three of
them drew pistols and one, pushing his
gun into Hutchinsons jaw. locked him
in garage, near the Office.

FIND BEET SUGt.., PULP
USEFUL As BUG KILLER
Iowan Discovers Process to Produce
Furfural at Cost of 10
Cents Pound.

AMES, Iowa Up. The beets that
produce sugar now also make furfural,
a bug killer.
Discovery of the process for producing
furfural from beet pulp, the byproduct
of beet sugar factories, is announced by
Prof. o. r. Sweeney of the department
Of chemical engineering of Iowa State
College, who says:
Utilization of beet pulp for this new
purpose may mean the creation of an
important side line revenue for the beet
sugar industry. Until recently furfural
was chemical curiosity, selling for $50
q pound. Agricultural chemists found
a method of manufacturing it from oat
hulls and some other farm products
formerly considered waste material.
Now it sells for about 10 cents pound
and is used in making synthetic resin,
solvents and insecticides
Beet pulp already is used extensively
In feeding cattle and sheep in the vicin-
ity of beet sugar factories.

\ Encouraged by the increased facilities
and services offered for motor touring
abroad. more Americans took their cars
to Europe In 1927 than ever before,
according to the American Automobile
Association.
The number OF Americans who toured
E,,rone in their own cars in 1927 showed
an increase OF IS per cent over 1870
with the probability OF a still greater
increase this year, the national motor

itate shipment of cars. handling OF

THE survey cites the following reasons,
among others. for the tremendous in
crease in the number Of Americans VINO

First. the reciprocal arrangement be-
tween the A. A. A. and the international
Touring Alliance has facilitated the
circulation or foreign cars dDiodo a!iu
simplified customs requirements and the
business of securing triptyques fol
accredited American motorists.
Second. several Of the large steam
ship companies have made special pro-
visions for transporting cars uncrateo
as baggage and at reasonable prices
including insurance costs.
Third. European resort and touring
areas. in many instances supported BY
local governments have been conducting
worldwide advertising campaign. but
particularly directed at United States
prospects.
Fourth. Americans have found that
the most pleasurable way OF seeing
Europe Is by motor. and the American
motorist likes to travel under his OWL

GOOD ROADS HELP
FEEDER BUS LINES
Extension of transportation
Service Possible With
Medium-Weight Cars.

Operating on regular schedules, motor
coach lines are beginning to install
feeder lines of their own. according to
bulletin issued by the American High
way Educational Bureau.
The extension Of this new form OF
TRANSFORMATION service to communities
heretofore beyond reach has been made
possible and also profitable through the
use of medium weight buSSeS which
manufacturers are placing at the serV-
ice of operators" the bulletin states.
"One other and no less important
factor is the comparatively inexpensive
method of improving secondary high

Along this line one of the principal
topics before the seventh annual meet
ing of the Highway Research Board
held in Washington recently, was the
problem of improving roads at low cost
Facts obtained through an inveStl-
CATION covering approximately Ia
months of research were placed before

assumed that low-cost road improve

and this means greater attention to

a fundamental step in road improve

Montgomery County Example.

roads to connect with heavy typed par
lor cars on main routes Montgomery
County, Md, affords a forward-looking
example.

It sounds odd. but it's fact. In the

was one Of the chief causes OF uncer-
