Various Nations Find
Good Uses for SeaWeed

What salt water bather. who has
been tangled in seaweed, or motor
boat owner whose propeller has been
clogged by the marine growth, can
imagine that Japan harvested 100000
900 pounds last year; that the United
States imports about 5000 tons an
nually; and that the United States has
a seaweed industry on the Atlantic
and Pacific coastsi
Seaweed has been consumed as FOOD
by the japanese. Chinese and Ha-
waiians for many centuries, while
Irish moss and seaweed products have
graeed the American table In various
forms since Colonial days, when It
was imported from England, says the
National Geographic society.
An early use of the weed was al
fertilizer by farmers near the sea. To-
day, besides serving as fertilizer and
food, 1t is an ingredient Of fine paper
knife handles and oriental curios.
Kamchatka natives use its hollow
stems as coils for distilleries, while
Australians have discovered species
from which cloth, rope, Irvine and mats
can be made.

Importance of Grasses
in Mans AdvanceI

Civilization has been built directly
upon one or another of the cereal
grasses, supplemented In some cases
with pasture grasses, according to a
professor of Berkeley university, Calf.
Cereal grasses changed man from a
nomad to a settler. Even the calen-
dar and social life was made neces-
sary by the cultivation of cereal
grasses. In 27O0 B. c., the Chinese
instituted the symbolic ceremony Of
sowing FIVE useful plants each year,
these being rice, wheat, sorghum, mil
let and the legume, soy beans. In
Egypt, barley and millet were pro-
duced as early as 1000 B. G. On
the American continent, civiliZa-
ton is practically synonymous with
one grass, maize or Indian corn.
The greatest portion of the dry land
surface of the earth is occupied by
grasses.

Case of Great Virtue
or Just Plain Honesty Z

A gossip writer in an English paper,
who fairly revels in stories about
Mayfair and great country houses,
recently singled out an act Of what
he thought super-eminent virtue per-
formed by great aristocratic lady.
Here are his words: "She Is as hon
est as she is modest. The other day
a booknIaker by mistake sent her q
check that he was not owing to her.
She returned 1t. regard that as
very nearly superhuman."
Perhaps the great lady reflected
that she would surely be detected II
she kept money intended for some
body else. It is possible also that she
simply fell victim to the low, bour-
geois notion that taking and keeping
isn't done" If kind hearts are more
than coronets. what rank in the no
bility should be assigned to plain hon.

Lett;n1 Timber Cro,,

Let the timber grow, is the advice of
the United States forest service to
owners Of farm woodlands who can
not find a market in advance of cut
ting. Thinning dense stands Of young
timber. cutting needed fuel and timber
for home use is entirely practical. And
where markets are to be had for fuel
wood, posts, or timber the woodland
will help pay some Of the farm bills.
But there is loss Of both material and
labor IL trees are cut and the wood
remains unsold until IT begins to de-
cay. The best place to keep sound
timber Is In the living tree, says the
forest service. The tree keeps on
growing into more and better timber
likely to be more salable when mar-
ket demand Is favorable.

a trident with his attendants, among
whom is the barber, carrying a huge
razor and tub. Neptune is accom-
panied by Amphitrite. A sheep pen
lined with canvas and filled with water
is prepared. The victim is seated on a
platform laid over this and blindfold-
ed. First he is shaved by the barber,
then plunged backward into the wa

EneIand's Old Broadway

such lovely English village should
possess the name Of Broadway. Per-
haps more New Workers seek it on
that account than If 1t were called by
some other more poetic name suited
to its loneliness. Hidden away in
Worcestershire. it is only 80 miles

sake, Broadway virtually consists Of

The term hedonist means a person
who believes that pleasure is the sole

doctrine, also teaches that moral duty
is fulfilled in the qualification Of
pleasure-seeking instincts and dispo-

ism in antiquity were the Epicureans

Deep sea diving, that most hazard
GUS undertaking of men salvaging
sunken submarines and other vessels
far below the surface of the ocean,
necessitates constant communication
with salvage ships above the wrecks.
In such emergencies nothing takes
the place Of the telephone, naval off,
cial say. Without this modern means
Of person-to-person communication,
diving work would be badly handi-
capped, and only the most meager
service could be given by these men
who now render so great a service by
such operations.
Lieut.. Norman s. Ives, head of the
deep sea diving school at the Wash
lngton, D. c. Navy Yard, says that
divers can descend 300 feet below the
surface of the ocean, but that their
work is not very effective below $50
feet. Divers working under water
whether few feet or several hundred
feet, must be in constant communica.

Lieut.. Ives says, and this is where the
telephone is of real service. Included
in every navy divers outfit is a tele

set, which is connected by waterproof
cable with similar instruments in the
surface vessel from which the diver
operates.
The receivers are clamped over the
mans head before he puts on the
diving suit and are held in place by
skull cap. The telephone trans
mitter is a part of the helmet. When
the helmet is clamped on to the suit,
the connection is established between
the receiver and the transmitter, and
the diver is able TO give information
to those on the surface and to direct
the adjustment Of chains and sings,
the use Of blow torches, or other
equipment with which he may be
working.
Telephones have been used by
divers since 1905. Lieut.. Ives states,
but they have been very much more
effective since improvements were
made in the instruments in 1912.
Needless to say this telephone equip.

VARIETY OF DISHES NECESSARY
FOR OLYMPIC GAMES ATHLETES

! for American style ham and eggs
They demand them almost every
morning for breakfast.
The Germans ask that their
meat, mostly beef and mutton. be
roasted in huge chunks and
sliced. They have no patience
with the American custom of fixing
everything. even chicken" in
grease. Their chef sees that they
get their meat in big chunks and
plenty of potatoes, strained until
they are dry and mealy.
Doesn't Need Cheese
DR.. Paul Martin, who will run
the 800-meter race for Switzerland,
dispelled the idea that real Swiss
misses his Swiss cheese.
He said he liked American cook
ing, especially soft boiled eggs, for
breakfast.
Your coffee is very excellent, :"
he said. In fact, think I shall
eat normal American food until
shortly before the hard training
starts. Then, of course. shall not
eat so much"
The Argentines are known to the
commiSSary as meat eaters. In
addition, they have their mate,
which is brewed from the leaves OF
the mate tree. The leaves are
placed in an almost round, dried
gourd. Hot water is added and the
tea, or mate, is slipped through a
hollow handled silver spoon.
The japanese and Italians are
listed among the heaviest users Of
vegetables and fruits.
The East Indians, according to
Harry Schmidt, head of the com-
missary, are light eaters due to
the religious customs of their coun-
try.
The Hindus are forbidden to eat
the flesh of a COW and one lone
member of the Sink race is the
only beef eater in the contingent.
The Moslems cannot eat pork.
The Anglo-Saxons, particularly
the college football players of the
United States, were described as
eating anything and lots of it.

LOS ANGELES. July 10. U.P)-
Swiss athletes in training fatty re-
/ fuse to eat their nations widely
advertised Swiss cheese.
The Argentines are hounds for
tea,
The Italian runners and jump
ers are true to form and thrive on
their native spaghetti.
The Germans dislike American
food because it is too greasy.
All of the above facts, and a few
others, were gained today while
lodging irate chefs and even more
irate special policemen dressed up
like night club doormen) in the
Olympic Village.
The chefs catering to the husky
athletes from all parts of the
world proved to be very fussy about
their kitchens. Their welcome. on
the whole, was about as cordial as
that extended by an American
housewife to an iceman with mud
dy shoes-on the day the kitchen
linoleum has been freshly scrubbed.
However, it was possible to learn
that 46 kitchens behind the 1000
feet of space included in five sep
arate dining halls can furnish, and
does furnish daily, almost any dish
known to any part of the globe.
Each kitchen has a chef repre-
senting one of the major nations
in the games.
All of the food is ordered through
the village commissary at rate of
50 per day for board and room of
each man. The attaches of each
nation are delegated to see that the
athletes of their respective coun-
tries receive the type of food they
want and need for training.
The japanese have their Osa-
himi, or raw fish, rated as great
delicacy in their land. But most
unusual situation has developed,
the chef admitted through an in
terpreter. The athletes, practically
to man, have developed a mania
