Falls of Niagara as
Pictured by Hennepin

Father Louis Hennepin saw Niagara
when he went West to the upper Mis-
sissippi with La Sales expedition in
1879. He had poor eye for dis
tances, for in successive narratives he
measures Niagara's height as 500 and
800 feet, instead of its maximum of
1872, but he had flair for vivid word
pictures:
"Betwixt the Lake Ontario and Erie
there is a vast and prodigious cadence
Of water which falls down after sur
prising and astonishing manner, in
formuch that the universe does not at
ford its parallel. TITS true Italy and
Switzerland boast Of some such things,
but we may well say they are but
sorry patterns when compared to this

Indian Ruler Famous
for Astronomical Study


There lived in India, In the Seven
teenth century, a ruler known as
Maharajah Jai Singh II, and being
keenly interested in astronomy he
evolved a series Of structures which,
though not now used for practical pur-
poses, constitute the most unique as
Economical instruments in existence.
He appears to have collected all kinds
of astronomical books, and sent some
workers to foreign countries to gather
information. Having determined the
kind of instruments required on which
to make the necessary recording of the
movements Of the heavenly bodies, he
selected five places in India as the
centers I'm which the observations
should be- taken. The first he built
at Delhi, and then others in Jaipur,
Ujain, Benares, and Mathura. The
observatories in Delhi and Jaipur
have been carefully restored. In ad-
dition to a number of metal instru-
ments he erected large masonry in
struments, some of them as high as 80
feet. Very careful records were made
Of the observations Of his staff of
workers, and modern astronomers
have expressed surprise at the valu-
able information thus collected. The
ruler responsible for these interesting
instruments died in 174S and his
wives, concubines and science expired
with him on his funeral pyre.

Don't overlook the kitchen cup
board or the medicine chest while
you are doing your spring house
cleaning" is the advice DR.. Robert
L. Swain, Deputy Food and Drug
Commissioner of the State Depart
ment of Health, gives to every
housekeeper in the State.
Like every other cupboard in the
place, the kitchen cupboard and the
medicine chest need thorough
overhauling every now and then.
AS you look over them," he con-
tinued, 'you will probably find as
you do in other cupboards, lot OF
things poked away out of sight that
have lost their freshness or that
are even harmful and that should be
discarded for safety's sake"

After making extravagant claims
as to the "wane of prohibition" the
vets are having a hard time explain
ing the nomination of Clifford Pin
chot, radical dry, as the head of the
Republican ticket, in the Pennsyl-
vania gubernatorial primary May 20.
Wet claims and assertions gener-
ally rest upon such insecure founda-
tions as straw votes" and the
Pennsylvania primary is but proof OF
this. Despite the fact that within the
states borders are the dripping wet
strongholds of Philadelphia and
Pittsburgh, the drys had the votes
when the showdown came, and they
were not Of the Literary Digest straw
variety either. The result Of the pri-
mary is something for the vets to
digest!

Cutters, Cork Pullers and Cookers
Potato cutters are fascinating
things, especially if you have a
weakness for French fries with
your sirloin. They can be had now
in scoops that produce little round
balls of potatoes, screws that make
novel curling spirals, julienne for
the shoestring variety, ribbon cut
tiers for decorative ribbons of pota-
toes, and potato cutting boards for
latticed potatoes.
And here is something your hus-
band will appreciate, when he wants
to show the guests how we'll he
does it. 1t is called Pantry Wall
Unit and it does three jobs well:
it pulls the corks from bottles, re-
moves the caps from ginger ale,
and keeps towel handy. 1t re-

If you have been yearning for
some of the new cooking utensils
that cook vegetables without water,
and if you haven't been able to
negotiate with your pocket-book
concerning them, you will be in
terested in new device to make
waterless cooking possible with any
covered saucepan. 1t is a disk which
can be used over the stove burner,
forming hot air pocket between
the bottom of the saucepan and the
concave surface of the disk. This
pocket acts as hot water does in
double boiler, maintaining an
even safe heat for waterless cooking.
This is also excellent for heating
canned vegetables such as corn.
which require close watching to
prevent scorching.+

An authoritative body of men who
cannot be classed as belonging to any
political party or as representing the
interests exclusively of any one OF
the forty-eight states of tho Union
has 4 been courageous enough to
openly condemn the proposed new
tariff law. This body is composed
of college and university professors
skilled in economic and international
affairs. They represent 179 organ
ization of higher learning, 46 states,
and are 1,028 strong. A petition has
been sent by them to President
Hoover and congress in which they
assert that the proposed tariff bill
will increase the cost of living in the
entire country, will iniure agricul-
ture and the United States export
trade and that no necessity exists for
higher tariff rates. The petition
originated with Paul H. Douglas OF
the University of Chicago, Irving
Fisher at Yale, Frank D. Graham of
Princeton, Ernest Patterson at the
University of Pennsylvania, Henry
Segar at Columbia, Frank w. Taus-
sig of Harvard, and Clair Wilson at
Swarthmore, all professors of econ
omics. Coming as the tariff bill was
entering its final stages in Congress
the protest is regarded as the most
crushing denunciation yet made of
the Hawley-Smoot measure.

This is Memorial Day, designated
primarily as a day for honoring those
who gave their all for their country
in warts strife. Let us remember
the valor of these men and women,-
for there were women too, -who
gave their lives for a great cause.
Let us pause long enough in our
daily routine, this day, to pay simple
tribute, not alone to the war hero who
made the great sacrifice, but to all
our loved ones who have gone be-
fore us, and who made many untold
sacrifices for us in this battle of life.
Let us cherish their memory moi

Navajo Indian Lore

The Smithsonian institution says:
The Yebechai are nature gods of the
Navajo whose chief function is heal
in the sick. The so-called Yebechai
dance is ceremony for this purpose.
Up to some years ago representations
of the gods were painted In colored
sands at the ceremony and wiped out
at the close. Later, the Navajo began
to weave the Yebechai figures in rugs
for sale. These rugs are usually made
on a hand loom. This may easily be
told if the designs are alike on both
sides as to form and cobr. Such spe-
cimens were never common"

such good mixers but so hard to
squeeze. He calls to our attention
a number of new fruit squeezers
that extract the juice by turning a
handle. But for the popular to-
mato juice, which is being univer-
sally extracted for tomato cock
tails, the salesman recommends a
potato ricer of the sort where two
handles are pressed together. He
predicts, incidentally, that there will
soon be a special tomato juice ex-
tractor on the market which can
be used on both canned and fresh
tomatoes to supply the demand for
this well-liked juice.
Parers and Can Openers
A peach parer interests us, be-
cause peach pairing is such slip

machine which holds the peach
firmly on triple prongs and when
you turn the crank it sends the
wheels around, little knife par
ing the peach-or the apple if you
like.
Can openers-the kind that really
open cans without any fuss - are
always source of interest to wo-
men. And here is a goodly array.
The simplest is one that cuts the
top out of all sizes and shapes of
cans with case. 1t is designed like
the old-fashioned can opener, but
it works on the rachel principle, and
cuts quickly and clean. Then there
is another can opener that you hold
in your hand and its jaws grasp
the can tightly while you turn an
attached handle which can be set
to fit the can and makes clean
cut.
Many women, the salesman tells
us, prefer to pay a little more and
own one of the very satisfactory
can openers which screw tight to
the table and hold the can in place,
while the attached knife cuts the
entire top from the can. One of
these works automatically. so that
