CHITA WAS BUILT
BY RUSSIAN EXILEs
Siberian Town Now Has a Pop.
ulation of 81 900.

Washington.-Chita, Siberia, In the
neighborhood Of which "White"- Rus
slams have been reported as raiding
Soviet communities, was the capital
Of the short-liyed Far Eastern re-
public, which spread shortly after
the World war from the eastern shore
Of Lake Baikal to the Pacific ocean,
says bulletin from the headquarters
of the National Geographic society.
Chita's remoteness has been factor
In Its apparent obscurity, although 1t
is one of the important stops on the
Trans Siberian railway, within 300
miles Of the Manchurian border.
Like many Siberian towns, Chita
got its start as Russian place of
exile. At the beginning of the
Eighteenth century, there were few
native huts on the site and romadic
tribes set up their tents in the neigh.
borhood. But not until 1925, when the
first contingent of exiles arrived
there, did Chita begin to boom. The
exiles built their own Jail. Their
wives built their homes along street
which was named LADY street." That
street is still so, named and is one
Of the principal thoroughfares of the
town.
Now Chita has mixture of
Chinese, Russian and Central Asian
inhabitants that number about $1,000,
but after more than a century's
growth 1t still retains many aspects of
a frontier town Of Americas early
West. Timber is plentiful in the
mountains and on the plains in the
region of Chita, and most of the
houses are constructed of wood.
The wide, sandy streets Of the
town stretch from the doorsteps of
one row of one-story, frame struc.
lures to another row of the same
height and construction on the other
side. Now and then there is Chita
"skyscraper" of three or four stories.
Some are of brick or stone; others
Of stucco over frame facades which
at a distance resembles more sub
stantial construction.
Business bristles in the "doWn-
town" streets of Chita. In one street
the Chinese merchants display an
array of dry goods on stands crowded
together as they are in the alley-like
thoroughfares of Canton. Cheap
calico prints, Turkey reds, silks,
spools of thread, needles and other
sewing cabinet appurtenances are
their principal stock in trade. Rus
sian tobacco merchants display car
tons Of cigarettes with long paper
mouthpieces. There are also shops
where dusty blocks Of tea may be
purchased; candy shops with an as
sortment Of questionable sweets; and
eating houses whose proprietors ap-
parently do not interest themselves in
the cleanliness of their walters.

peppers, and nuts. Any two of these
may be used with the cheese. Add salt
and little lemon juice If liked.
Tie bread for rolled sandwiches
should be fresh and elastic in tex
ture, so that it will not crumble or
break when rolled. Spread the sand
witch mixture on the cut end Of the
loaf, and then with very sharp
knife, cut off the thinnest possible
slice, roll 1t up, and trim the ends.
Use cutters of fancy shapes such as
hearts, clovers, stars, and others for
the fiat sandwiches. In spreading
these, do not put filling too near the
crust or parts likely to be trimmed
off.
Many different chopped vegetables
may be worked into cream cheese,
seasoned, and used for sandwich
spreads. Some of the best liked are
parsley, water cress, lettuce, spring
onions, chives, radishes, cucumbers,
and celery. Onion or lemon juice
may be included in the seasoning.
These mixtures may also be used in
the form of balls or stuflings for green
peppers or celery to accompany sal
ads.

The coffee berry when ripe re-
sembles a red cherry. The berries

each. Coffee in the green state is

sures a uniform quality and blend
which was not possible in the old
days. Containers are alright for we
know we lose the delicate aroma Of
coffee when 1t is ground and left ex-
posed to the air. Package coffee
may be obtained in various degrees
Of grind for different uses.
A few cents to the pound will mean
a better coffee, often of greater
strength and SO more economical than
the cheaper grades. Flavor is the
important consideration when pur-
chasing coffee.
When coffee is ground the cells
which hold the aromatic substances
which give flavor and aroma, are
broken and exposed to the air. Many
good housewives prefer to grind their
own coffee daily. With the modern
alright can, all the labor of grinding
the coffee is eliminated. The method
Of making coffee regulates the coarse
ness or fineness of the grind. The
finer the grind the quicker is the re.
lease of the good qualities of the
coffee.
Those who have studied the best
utensils for preparing coffee agree
that any metal pot yields a flavor
when cooked with an organic solu.
ton like coffee. Even short CON
tact of hot coffee solution with tin
makes chemical deposit upon It
Other metals, perhaps in a less de

Find New Composition
Helps in Tree Surgery

A composition somewhat like putty
In its consistency has been recently
found Of value in filling broken or
splintered woodwork. 1t has several
advantages over putty and other ma
terials designed for this purpose in
that the woody composition may be
cut, carved and treated as wood,
whereas this cannot be done with
putty. By some modification the same
idea has been successfully applied to
tree surgery. Concrete has been used
for the purpose Of filling cavities In
trees caused by rot, but because Of the
constant motion of the tree trunk
this has tendency to break away
from the sides of the cavity and in
order to hold it in place 1t is neces-
sary to insert metal strips. The
wood composition does not do this
and really acts to a great degree like
the wood of the tree trunk, contract

Shifting Sand Dunes
Reveal Ancient Town

Berlin.-Sand dunes shifting in the
summer winds have uncovered what
was once good-size village on the
North sea island Of Sylt. Some time
ago the remains of another village
were similarly laid bare on the Baltic
coast of East Prussia.
On the northern tip Of Sylt, In that
section which until few weeks ago
was hidden by the dunes, has been
found evidence of settlement dating
back to the Ninth or Tenth centuries.
Among the finds have been pieces of
pottery closely resembling that made
by Rhenish potters between the years
800 and 1000. Other articles dis
closed are said to date back to the
Fourteenth century, thus Indicating
that the settlement must have existed
for 800 years or more before being
covered by the dunes.

fore another one is introduced to him.
He may object to new foods at first.
1t is not uncommon for baby to spit
out the first few mouthfuls Of any
food that is strange to him. He has
to get used to new tastes. different
temperatures. strange textures, and to
new eating utensils. Changing the
baby's diet from liquid to semi-solid

baby to take water. fruit Juice, cereal
Cruel, and strained vegetables from
a spoon and then from cup. Make
these gruels and purees thicker In
consistency until the child is pre-.
pared for the next step-mashed and
scraped or finely diced fruits and
vegetables. Even the young baby gets
hard toast or zwieback to exercise his
gums. In this way he gradually
learns to chew and swallow foods of
different texture and consistency SO
that by the age of one and one-half
or two years he has left baby foods
behind him.

potatoes, whole grain bread and

tutes, little fat and sweet make a
well-balanced diet.
Candy should be of the best to give
little children. Another important
item to bear in mind is not to give
them candy before meal, as 1t Is a
food and dulls the appetite for the
things most necessary to the child's
growth. A piece of candy as des-
sert is good and will satisfy the nat
ural craving that every normal child
has for sweets. Two hours before
another meal small amount of candy
may be given. Our military schools
are beginning to realize the value Of
a little candy. The result is that the
boys gain in weight, eat their regular
meals with more zest and improve in
physical health and scholarship.
Candy is now on the daily bill Of fare.
