solder Than the Hills"

to the American Forestry associa-
tion, for this giant Of the woods

Fossil remains reveal that back in
the Cretaceous period before noun
taln-forming disturbances took
place and when reptiles were DOM
inant on land and in the sea, there
were more than ten species Of tulip
trees in the temperate belt which
then extended across Europe, Asia
and North America.
Magnificent tulip trees are found
in the Great Smoky National park
some of which are approximately
200 feet tall and are from sir to
ten feet in diameter. 1t has been
said that the tulip is the finest de-

Maya Indians May Have
Been pioneers" in Corn

At Quirigua, In the republic OF
Guatemala, there exists number
OF most interesting ruins, appar-
emily the remains of temples and
other public buildings There are
many individual monoliths, erected
as monuments of different sorts,
sculptured with human faces and
figures and animal designs, as we'll
as hieroglyphies, which archeolo-
gists have not as yet been able to
decipher accurately. One such
stone bears date In Mayan chro-
nology which has been COM
puted to coincide with 535 A. D. of
the Gregorian calendar. The cary
ing of this monolith, which Is the
largest of the surviving remnants,
Is still clear and perfect, despite
the long procession of centuries
that has passed over 1t. Inscrip-
tions and representations on this
and other stones tend to the be-
lief that Indian corn was first cul-
tivated in Guatemala. The corn
cakes of the Maya Indians were
probably the first attempts to cook
corn, or maize, and these cakes are
still today the staple Of the Guate-
malan and Mexican diet.

The following are a few break

Orange Honey crispy.-Peel an
orange and separate into sections

TO eight sections for each serving.
Dip each section into honey and
turn over In rice or corn fakes,
pulled wheat or any of the light
cereals which have been warmed

CONGRESS URGED

building program. capital obser-
vers declare. The fact that the
adoption of the plan will mean en-
ployment, directly and indirectly to
nearly million additional workers,
has caused an almost unprecedent-
ed public interest.
Endorsed by Colonel Arthur
! Woods, chairman of the Presidents
| Emergency Committee of Employ
ment, and by scores of individuals
and organizations cooperating with
the Federal committee, the plan
calls for a government appropri-
elton of S250,000 600 to argument
the S125,000,000 now available,
making total of 375,O00,00O. This
is to be matched, dollar for dollar,
by the states, if approved.
For each man actually employed
IN working on road construction,
three other persons would be gain
fully employed as a result of the
program being set in operation,
Colonel Woods estimates. Addi-
tional jobs will be provided not
only for those engaged in the sup
plying of materials and equipment
but also in other industries all
along the line. Aside from the d.
rect and indirect employment en-
tailed, the buying power of a mil
lion wage earners would be bound
to stimulate the country's entire
economic system.
Approximately 225,OO0 men
would be employed directly on the
road work. This would give out
side employment to at least CTS 600
workers, making a total of 100000
gainfully engaged. The number of
persons who would benefit from
the adoption of the plan is meal
eulable but unquestionably it runs
into the millions.

(Note this is the first of two
articles on Candy-making)

Talk about the proverbial
sweet tooth"-most of us have
not one but 80 of them, which
nothing pleases more than candy!
The very word sets the palate
tingling, and since the dietitians
tell us that candy is valuable
fuel food with legitimate place
In the diet, if eaten with modera-
ton and intelligence, we may well
come the approaching holidays
with gladstone molars!
When our grandmammas made
only "pull candy" and carried home
little poke" of sweets when the
weekly bill was paid, candy was a
rarity and a luxury. Now it's
cheap to make and to buy. The
purchased candy is now made un-
der the most sanitary conditions,
from the wholesome ingredients we
use in our kitchens, corn syrup
and sugar, the best chocolate, fruit,
nuts and cocoanut.
To the possessor of a knowing
sweet tooth, however, there's moth
ing so satisfying as the homemade
variety. It's the first thing the
future cook wants to make, and the
one delicacy that Dad and Brother
will attempt. The secret of candy
making consists mainly of follow
ing the recipe to the letter and of
choosing the ingredients with all
eye to cost, flavor, healthfulness
and appearance.
The great fear of amatuers is
that their candies will turn to
sugar" To avoid this, to keep
them from becoming coarse or
granny, use corn syrup in all
recipes in which it is appropriate.
1t is bit of failure insurance,
which coupled with the use of
candy thermometer, insures COM
plete success. Too, corn syrup is
healthlful, being a mixture of pure
carbohydrates, half of which are
in the form of dextrin, the most
easily assimilated of all. A
thorough beating of creamy Judges
is another factor of success.
