PROTECT FRUITS
AGAINST INSECTS
Plan to Keep Out Various
Pests During Drying.

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture.)
1t is hardly necessary to point out
that all dried fruits, whether bought
; commercially or prepared at home,
should be stored in tight containers
to protect them from insect attack.
Adult insects of various species choose
dried peaches, apricots, raisins, figs,
and other fruits as suitable places for
laying their eggs. These will soon
hatch out into larvae or worms and
make the product unfit for food.
The bureau Of entomology Of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture receives many requests, however,
for information on how to protect
peaches and other farm orchard fruits
from insect pests during the process
Of drying. All fruit should be Gov
cred with light cheescloth while
drying, to keep out dust as we'll as in
sects. An additional precaution sug-
gested by entomologists studying the
Insects that attack stored and dried
products is to sterilize the peaches
or other fruits by heating them for
short time in hot oven. This
should kill any eggs that have been
laid on the fruit, also any living
weevils.
Another method is to fuLligate each
batch of dried fruit with carbon disul-
phide am then store 1t Immediately
In tight containers. The fumigation is
accomplished by placing the fruit In
a t. sht container and exposing 1t over
night to the fumes OF the chemical.
One or two ounces of carbon disul-
phide is sufficient to fumigate space
Of ten cubic feet. The chemical should
be poured out in shallow pan and
placed on top of the fruit. The fumes
Of carbon disulphide are inflammable
and fire in any form should be kept
from the room In which 1t is being
used.

Cannibalism in Poultry
Flocks Worries Owners

Hayward, Calif.-Ranchers and citi
zens of this section, as we'll as pro
fessors of the University of California,
are greatly concerned over the recent
outbreak Of cannibalism here.
The cannibalislm is among poultry
focks, one of the major Howard in
dustries, and there are several the
cries as to its cause, although all au
thorities agree that it is contagious
and once 1t enters flock drastic
measures are necessary for control.
Deficiency in diet is sometimes
blamed, and the feeding of additional
bran, meat, or salt in some instances
will check the epidemic.
Wedding out of the chief cannibals
in flock often checks what appears
to be the psychology of imitation.

Noted Hopi Runner Loses
Race Against Cow Pony

Roswell, N. M.-Flying Eagle, Hopi
runner, failed in his attempt to match
speed and endurance in race against
Boss, nine-year-old western COW pony
on an oval track here.
At the end of the forty-thfrd mile
Of scheduled 1OO-mile race the Indi.
an runner fell exhausted on the dirt
track and was taken to an emergency
hospital. He was five miles behind the
mustang.
Flying Eagle is one of the best
Of the famed Hopi runners. He was
used recently in the long search
through the Hopi mesas for the los,

popula, name for this dessert. Hall
canteloupes and honeydew melons are
often used as containers for ice cream,
adding greatly to both flavor and
charm Of appearance. Vanilla cream
with canteloupe and lemon or orange
ice with honeydew melons, are liked.
A "parfait" might be called sun
dae built on a vertical plan. A tall
narrow glass is used. In the bottom
is put little of the ice cream; then
a spoonful of fruit or chocolate sauce,
according to the flavor wanted, then
more ice cream, and generous serv-
ing of whipped cream, topped by q
candied or maraschino cherry for color.
Ice cream sandwich, which is ice
cream placed between layers Of
sponge cake; pie a la mode, or pie
with helping Of ice cream on top /;
ice cream with berries or cut up
peaches, bananas or other fruits; ice
cream in sherbet cups with chocolate
sauce or maple strip, are other IA
miliar ways Of presenting this whole

MINES BUREAU ACTS
TO CURB DISASTERS
Conducts Research Work to.
Prevent Blasts.

Pittsburgh, Pa.-Possibilities of dis
aster In coal mines have been mini
mixed by research work Of the United
States bureau of mines, a survey of
the bureaus work here indicates.
The Pittsburgh branch is the larg-
est Of eleven experimental stations.
The activities Of the bureau require
q personnel Of $50 persons, many of
whom have made mining their life
work.
Activities are divided into two ma
jor groups, general tests In the ex-
perimental mine at Bruceton, and lab
oratory and research investigations at
the bureau Of mines building located
on the Carnegie Institute of Tech
nology property.
Not only does the bureau attempt
to find solutions for most of the min.
Ing accidents, but it also strives to
have the knowledge thus won passed
on to the operators in order that the
greatest benefit may evolve upon
those who toll far below the surface
Of the earth.
Three Calls a Year.
An average of three calls to dis.
asters are answered year. In all,
the entire bureau has eleven rescue
ears stationed at various points
through the country. This system
enables a car to be in every section
In which coal mine accident might
occur.
The reverberating sounds of explo-
sions and the crash Of the fall Of
slate are heard at the experimental
station, They are part Of the regu-
lar investigations in the daily rou-
tine Of work.
The laboratory tests include delv-
ing into the dangers of the various
gases which are encountered in mines.
Efforts are made to determine means
to counterfeit the deadly fumes. The
magnitude Of these gas experiments is
shown by the bureaus report that
BOO gas samples are analysed a
month, many being subjected to as
many as six separate tests.
Electrical Tests.
A large section of the bureau build
ing is used to make electrical tests.
According to George st. ]. Perrott,
superintendent of the bureau, there
are five hazards connected with the
use of electricity in mines.
These hazards are electrical shock,
unintentional ignition of explosives by
stray current, ignition Of coal dust by
electrical arcs, and fires of electrical
origin.
Because Of the increasing use of
electricity in mining, the department
In which these experiments are made
Is considered among the most '-1por-
tant at the bureau.
Mining regulations permit the use
Of 1875 different kinds of explosives.
Governmental experiments with min
ing explosives date from 1908 when
blasting tests were begun by the tech
nology branch of the geological sur
vey. Since then the tests have been
continued by the bureau Of mines.
Many Of the tests incidental to con-
struction of the Holland vehicular
tunnel between New York and Jersey
City were conducted at the Bruceton
mine. These tests were made wholly
to determine the system Of ventila-
ton needed to keep the air in the
great Hudson river tubes free from
impurities.

Find Mammoth Bones

beasts roamed the bay region before

examined fossilized remains unearthed
by workmen on the site of the South
ern Pacific's new railroad bridge
across Suisun bay. According to G. j.

the species include portions of a mas

have been the huge skeletons of these
strange early creatures and fossilized
squirrels nests.

Methuen, Mass.-The 1880 model

Police were notified that woman,
in dazed condition, was wandering
along Oakland avenue. When an Off
Ger questioned the woman, who proved
to be Mrs. Jordan. she could not re-
member what had happened to her.
Hours later Mrs. Jordan recovered
her memory and sheepishly explained
that she had been motoring with her
husband and had been bounced out
of the rumble seat.

Valuable Mineral con.en.

Since the mineral content is partIcu.
larry valuable in helping to maintai;l
the akalinity Of the body, 1t is most
important that the least amount pos.
sible be lost. This Is zone when vege.
tables are cooked only until tender
and in small amount of water. Green
leaf vegetables such as spinach, tur-
nip tops, mustard, swiss chard and the
like need little water, and other vege-
tables just enough to cook and not
burn. An intense heat is found to b.
not essential.
