MAKING THE NATION sMALLER

Seven transcontinental highways,
as part of road system penetrating
every section of the country, would
be provided for in a bill which. &C.
cording to announcement, is to be
introduced at the next session OF
Congress.
Whether or not this project ever
becomes reality, it is indicative
the steadily increasing Importance OF
highways in our development as a
nation. State and state and city
and city are bound together by
smooth, shining pavements. They
are necessities of modern life, an
integral part of business and social
relations.
The time is near when practically
every community, no matter now
small or isolated, will have contact
with the outside world through the
medium of paved road. To the
farmer, as we'll as the city-dweller
highways are basic commodities
which pay for themselves many times

Here are. two simple facts, with
tragic Implications:
Once every minute, day and night,
the fire engines dash to burning
structure somewhere in the United
States.
Fire losses in this country are II
times great as in Europe.
There is no justification for our
appalling fire waste, but there is NO
dearSh of reasons. Building con-
struction, both in design and ma
terials, is superior in Europe with
many rigid protective codes. And
most important of alive Ameri-
cans are apparently the most care
less and wasteful people on earth
when it comes to fire.
A little knowledge, intelligently
used, will prevent most fires. The
dangers of unattended wiring, care
lessly disposed of waste, cigarettes
and matches clipped" about, are
hardly understood in the average
American, home. And because of this
carelessness and ignorance every
American citizen must make his
annual contribution, directly or in
directly, to the fire-waste bill.

The enforcement of this law is in the

Secretary Wilbur has sounded a
new note for dealings of the Depart
ment of the Interior with Indians
under it's care. Lets give the In
dams job, he says. For seventy
years we have been trying to make a
farmer of him and have failed.
Let's educate him now for the work
to which he is naturally adapted and
which he likes. Let him work at
wages for someone else for a while"
In line with this Mr.. Wilbur states
that one of the first things he will do
is to organize agencies to get Jobs
for the red men away from their
own reservations. Also he intends
to do away with the practice of send
ing Indian boys and girls away from
their homes to Indian boarding
schools. In preference they are to
be advised to send their children to
nearby public schools along with
other children. So"

termilk and skim milk Lave good food
value. Milk can be used as the basis
in soups, in white sauce for vege-
tables and leftover meats. and in
many desserts as custards, buildings
and souffles.
Self-rising flour is economical. It
Is cheaper to have the manufacturer
combine flour, salt and baking powder
than for each individual housewife to
do so, for the miller gives the house
wife the advantage of car-lot prices
on these materials. Fewer eggs are
required when using self-rising flour
for cakes, cookies and mullins. Use
only I egg for each one and one-half
cupfuls of self-rising flour in butter
cakes. By using flour that has been
prepared for use We can save many
dollars. And not only are we saving
money but we are giving our family
good food.
The economy cake below is well
worth trying on your next baking day.

From Fingers to Forks

Knives. forks and spoons in their
primitive form were used from very
early times. The table knife became
popular after the Seventeenth cen
fury. During the period Of transition
from fingers to forks. knives were
used for eating as well as for cutting.
Forks were introduced into England
in the Sixteenth century. The custom
came from Italy. Queen Elizabeth
was the first English sovereign to use
a fork. Her mobiles thought it a piece
of great affectation and her example
was only scantily followed.

went the award of $4,000 offered by

Contest" was sponsored by the
Southern Planter in conjunction
with the Extension Service of the

pose of increasing the self respect
of farm families in their respective
yards, of serving as an incentive to
other homes in the community to do
likewise, and to sell the State itself
to tourists and other people inter-
ested in settling down and becoming
citizens. Similar contests were
staged in the states of Virginia,
West Virginia, North and south
