Grapes Are
Excellent
Preserves
BY SISTER MARY

Grapes lend themselves to many
delicious preserves and delicacies for
winter use. Their richness of flavor
and color make them most attractive
and luscious with warm breads and
savory meats.
If you want to make jelly, choose
fruit that just is beginning to turn"
or ripen.
Ripe grapes will not make firm
jelly, but those just on the verge
of ripening make excellent jelly Of
firm texture and fine flavor.
Since grape jelly has a tendency
to crystalline, it is a good plan to
let the juice stand over night after
it has been extracted.
Pour Of Carefully
Then pour it off carefully, dis
carding the dregs which have settled
to the bottom, and use as usual.
Grapes for conseryeS and juice
should be perfectly ripe. Home
made grape juice is delicious for
iced drinks and convenient to have
on hand. A glass of grape juice for
breakfast will make a welcome
change from orange juice and
grapefruit.
Some interesting experiments have
been reported regarding the compo-
sition and food value of grape juice.
The experiments were carried out
with commercial grape juice, but
home canned juice can be substi-
tuted with good effect.
Grape juice compares favorably
with orange juice in increasing nj
trogen retention, and while it can't
be counted on to furnish the vita
Minis found in the fresh fruit, it
supplies minerals and sugars Of
fresh grapes.
GRAPE JUICE
Wash grapes and pick from stems.
Put into preserving kettle, adding
just enough boiling water to pre-
vent burning. Cover and place over
low fire.
Bring slowly to the boiling point
and cook until the skins leave the
pulp.
Pour into jelly bag and let drip
until pulp is dry, about twelve hours
Measure and use one cup of sugar
to four cups Of Juice.
Put juice into kettle, bring to the
boiling point and slowly add sugar.
Let boil one minute after all the
sugar is in. Pour into hot steril-
lied bottles or cans, filling contain
ers perfectly full, and seal at once.
Dilute juice with water when
used.
Grape conserve is excellent made
with any variety Of grape, although
the Concords are rich and inviting
GRAPE CONSERVE
Five pounds grapes, five pounds
graduated sugar, one pound seeded
raisins, two oranges, one cup Eng
fish walnut meats.
Wash and pulp grapes. The fruit
Is weighed after removing from the
stems. Cook pulp and stems sep
arately, adding enough water to
the skins to prevent burning.
Rub pulp through a fine colander
to remove seeds. Combine with
cooked skins, and raisins, juice and
finely shredded rind of oranges and
bring to the boiling point
Add sugar and cook twenty min
utes Add nuts and cook ten min
utes longer. Pour into jelly glasses
and cover with paraffin when cold.

Nineteen hundred and thirty census
takers found that Old Mother Earth is
"over 21"; in fact, scientific tests to
deternyine her age place it at a mini
mum Of 1852 900 900 years. Such is
the report of Prof. AloiS F. Kovarik
of Yale University in the April issue
of Scientific Monthly. who. presents
the known scientific methods for de-
termining the age of the earth with
the relative merits and uncertainty OF
each.
The lengthy life period of the earth
is an average value obtained by astro-
nomical, physical, geological and radio
active methods.
Astronomically the problem is to cal
culate the time elapsed since the earth
separated from the sun. The physical
problem Is to determine a somewhat
shorter time elapsed since the earth's
crust became solid. This involves as
sumptions as to the rate of cooling of
the earth.
Biologists determine the age OF the
oldest known rock formations by study
ing existing formations and their rate
of disintegration as it goes on today.
Although many difficulties are encoun-
tered and the probable error is con-
siderable this method gives the correct
order of magnitude when various values
are taken into consideration.
Best of ali methods Is that made on
the theory of radioactivity with its
successive disintegration of uranium
materials into radium and finally into
lead.
First, chronologically in these deduc-
tions IS the So-called helium method Of
Rutherford All radioactive material
is known to contain helium, proved to
be formed by the electrical neutraliza-
ton of the alpha particles emitted by
the substance. Knowing the amount
of helium present in the sample and
the rate of it's fornsNion, we arrive at
the length of time 1t took to form. This
method Of necessity Is Of . minimum

Tests Prove Rocket Is Useful

said that it can be stored indefinitely
without danger and that it is less SEN
sitive to shocks than other explosives.
Fuel Development Important.
While this is not direct contribu-
ton to the development of rockets, 1t
Is, nevertheless, of value. Satisfactory
progress in rocket design rests wholly
upon the development of explosives
Any major contribution in this field,
even though it cannot be applied di-
rectly, adds to the sum total of the
necessary knowledge TO enable us to
proceed toward the chosen goal
The fourth bit Of news concerns Paul
Heylandt. who worked with Max Waller
when he first used the combination of
liquid air and gasoline. He has now
announced a fourteen-pound rocket
motor, which Is said TO develop 200
horsepower Max Vallier, it will be
recalled. lost his life in one Of his eX-
periments.
Herr Heylandt has gone on with the
development of the motor. and has in
creased its power from about forty
horsepower, with a weight of seven
pounds, 10 its present dimensions.
With such activity in rocket research
there can be little doubt that we are
on the way to the development of a
/ rocket motor that will at least be prac-
tical for meteorological work.

sort, for there is no way Of ascertain
ing how much helium has escaped.
Next is the pleochroic halo method.
These are small colored rings found in
certain substances, of which forms of
mica are examples. The radii OF the
halos are a measure of the range of
the alpha particles emitted and the
color is the effect Of the ioniation by
the alpha particle.
Here the method is to radiate mica
with strong source OF alpha particles
until the haloS formed are of the same
color as the sample. Knowing the
number of alpha particles incident
from the experimental source, the
product of this number by the time Is
equal to the much smaller number of
particles in the sample, times the long
period (age) over which they acted.
Since both heat and prolonged ioniza-
ton are now known to produce dis
coloration, the method Is not accurate.

ambitious scheme of industrialization
The machine age has invaded those
parts of Europe which up till now had
persisted in the bucolic occupations of
their ancestors of thousands of years
ago; and in these countries it mas
wreaked havoc no less extensive than
that caused by the industrial revolution
from which England suffered in the late
eighteenth century. and which made
the front page of the world when Rus
sia made an attempt to adapt its re-
suits to her own needs.
The parents of the new movement
are the United States and Russia, the
protagoniSts of two opposite poles of
civiliZa ton The first impulse was
given by the war, and the fear of new
international complications intensified
its latent force. The machine age has
crossed the Alps and is on the way to
conquest and, pos IDLY, glory in the val

1t contains interesting COM

abroad, gathered from official
sources and from important
visitors to the Capital. No
one is quoted by name and
hence the writer's of the bull

freedom. Sometimes their in

In a recent number they
answered certain questions as
to how they get their news. I

written any sort of alibi at all,
every word of it would have
lesSened my confidence.
But when they come out
frankly and say: 1--WE were
wrong, and you should never
depend on us 100 per cent"
then I begin to think they
must be pretty smart men.
I have never forgotten an
experience with one of my
first employers, a man who is
now at the very top of his
profession.
In those days I was getting
$40 week. and he was earn
ing $4,000 a year. He lived
in a fine apartment on Park
avenue, and 1 lived in Cne
room in the Y. M. C. A.
One morning early I was
called out of bed to answer
the telephone. 1t was my en-
plOyer. He said:
after you left the office
last night I hunted up some
additional information on the
subject we had been discuss
ing. I tried to reach you dur
ing the evening, but you were
out. 1 am calling you now to
let you know that you were

You can imagine what that
did to me! I Would have
jumped off the roof for that
boss, and I never meet him
even now without an impulse
to raise my hat.
Little fellows feel that they
must be infallible in order to
maintain the worlds respect.
