Every Strata Of Labor Used
in Production.

Neutrality-suspicious. sugar crop is
on its way to the dining table. Grind
ing sugar cane began several days ago
by decree Of the president Of the re-
public.
''The progress Of sugar from stand
ing cane on the vast plantations which
belt the world in areas where there
are long summers and plenty Of mois-
ture and fertile soil, to the sugar bowl
on the dinner table, is a story involv-
ing nearly every strata Of labor from
experts in agriculture, sugar refining
and distribution, to the lowly laborer
of plantation lore" says bulletin
from headquarters of the National
Geographic society.
Sugar cane must be mature to give
the maximum quantity Of sugar. When
the stalk is cut and loaded into an OK
cart, 1t has already survived major
operation by which it has lost its ap-
ipendages-its blades and the upper
part Of the stalk which contains al
most no sugar.
'While automobiles glide through
the sugar country today, the oxcart,
long a part of the sugar plantation
panorama, still collects the cut cane
and delivers 1t to the nearest railroad
for transport to the crushing machines.
In Cuba a railway car transports about
20 tons Of cane and each train consists
Of about 80 cars-600 tons Of cane in a
single trainload. Ten trainloads must
be harvested to keep crusher in OPP
Grafton for the "a working hours in the
height of the harvesting season.
"After the cane is deposited on the
oxcart, human hands seldom touch it
until it emerges from refinery, ready
for the dinner table. A derrick lifts
the cane from the oxcart, and deposits
It on railway cars. At the crusher the
cars are pulled, one at time, onto o
cradlelike device. A button is pushed

lines of auto transportation that ex-
tended from that point over various
desert routes. One line runs from
there to Bagdad. Another extends to
Damascus. Still another to Haifa.
"The reason for the replacement of
camels with the modern auto has been
largely the demand Of tourists for

GEORGE BURNS MAKES

Jacks gray eyes smiled amusedly at Sue.
 'The soups good. Sue. Better eat it," he said, before he ans wered her question. T can't so to dad now. He would think l was running to cover, or using this as a way of getting in the family graces again. I'll find some way of protecting his interests without telling him" "Yes-and it won't do your fath- CT much good to be sorry after something dreadful has happen ed." she answered.
 Nothing going to happen" he told her cheerfully. but she saw that the traces of worry fingered in his eyes. "I'll find some way to make my father moves those pa pers to a safer hiding place."
 "Oh, Jack, you're darling. but Pm not worried about the papers. It's you!" Sue cried suddenly, put | ting down her spoon. That man Is dreadful-he wouldn't stop at anything! Maybe the police should know about your suspicious in this affair of Jimmy's."
 Sorry Sue, but I geuss I haven't enough grounds. If I should re- i port that Burns made yelled threat so I though he was after me-since he caught Jimmy at my usual morning post-and Burns isn't guilty, or even if he is, and 1t can't be proved, he could make it plenty hot for me-" "I suppose so."
 Sue ate quietly after that, not talking much. Jack smiled at her sometimes. but his mind was busy trying to straighten out the prob- lem. she knew.

VEGETABLES NEEDED IN
 SUMMER
By SISTER MARY NEA Service Writer


 Use vegetables-and more veg etables! Their vitamin and miner. al content and lack of protein make them ideal for summer meals. While a well-balanced diet always Is essential, the energy-pro ducing foods are needed in lesser ratio during the hot weather than during the winter months. The old phrase, "cool as a cucumber" is revealing in that 1t admits that this vegetable contains no heat pro- ducing elements. Few vegetables are of high caloric value and when served without extra materials in the way of sauces and stpffings have little actual food value in terms of protein, fat and carbohy- drate.
 Eggplant is a delicious vegetable too often ruined by careless cook. ing. It makes splendid, hearty dish if stuffed with meat and an inviting breakfast vegetable If care fully sauted in butter. The stuffed eggplant combines calories and minefal salts in a most satisfactory fashion.
 One of the secrets of cooking eggplant is the process of blanch- ing. If the vegetable is bit witty let it stand in cold water for an hour. Then dip in boiling water and let stand five minutes. Drain and plunge at once into cold water The vegetable is now ready to use in any way it may be wanted. Combinations with other vege- tables are good and offer an at- tractive way to use up a little of this or that which has accumu. lated in the ice-box.
 Eggplant baked en casserole is an excellent hot luncheon dish to serve with sandwiches and iced tea or milk. or is a good vegetable dish for cold meat dinner.

 Why, just that. Love-lorn! You're head over heels in love-" Don't be ridiculous, Lottie." Lottie held her gown, a soft white halo of chiffon above her lovely head. She let 1t fall and in-

 So I'm ridiculous?" she said, set tling the gown carefully about her hips and surveying the effect in the mirror. Then she looked back al Mona. "Ridiculous? Not at all! You're in love, my girl, or my name

 She thought to herself. Gan it be that Pm falling in love with him?" By "him" Lottie meant Steve Saccarelli.
 She tucked her slippered feet be- meath her on the chaise tongue and her eyes became pensive. Wearing blue velvet pajamas Lottie looked like lovely blond angel. Her thoughts were interrupted by the shrill ringing of the telephone.
 Lottie gpoaned. "Let the thing ring! We cant be bothered. Let it ring"
 This was precisely what the tele- phone did. The instrument contin- ued to jangle noisily until Lottie rose unwillingly, walked to the little silken bedroom and flung her. self down in chair, prepared for an exhaustive chat. oLttie was a victim of "telephonitis," once she persuaded herself to take up the receiver.

GLORIFYING

Egg Shampoo Gives Hair a Gloss
 Once in a while there comes an occasion when you want your hair to be especially attractive. You want it to shine like an aureole, and you tell yourself that you know, now, why the prophet referred to woman's hair as her crowning glory, since your own locks, all of a sudden, are doing fade-out on you.
 Cheer up! All you need is an egg.
 For eggs play as healthy a part in the hair schedule as they do on any breakfast menu.
 Break a fresh egg into a cup. Stir 1t lightly.
 Now take plenty of warm water. Make sure that 1t isn't hot. Dip your hair into 1t. Saturate your scalp and every strand of hair with the moisture. Now pour the egg onto your hair, and massage thor ougly. Keep at it, until you look like the character in a slap-sticlS comedy, at whom some one has fired a battery of eggs. Don't stop even then. Make sure that the egg does its work.
 When you are sure that it has been successful, rinse it out with warm water. Don't have your water hot, though. It will cook the egg. And that wasn't the pur- pose of the shampoo
 Keep rinsing until the water runs clear. Make the water cool, then cold. There is something de- lightfully refreshing and rejuve- mating about 1t.
 In the last rinse. the juice of one lemon, strained, will add bright crisp touch to your hair However, if your scalp has a ten dency toward dryness, rely on the egg alone. for lemon has astrin. gent properties,

Cut flesh in shreds and add to onion. Add tomatoes and prepared eggplant and mix well. Season with salt and pepper and turn into buttered baking dish. Cover with buttered crumbs and bake forty minutes in a mod crate oven. Serve from baking dish.
 One and one-half cups of soft
 stale bread crumbs can be added to
 the vegetable mixture to absorb the

 It would be more than foolish not to realize that equipment to- day for childbirth has reached a stage that no home can ever ap- preach for surety of health and life.
 But there are conditions exist ing today that make 1t impossible fin some cases to expect hospitalt- zation. In some of the smaller towns and even in the larger cities on account of lack of funds. hospi- tals have had to close and many of those operating have had to re- duce expenses and therefore their work of mercy.

And I belonged to those people who were expected to pay. So what did I do?
 Careful Preparations I began months ahead of the event to prepare. made my own hospital. went to a doctor, and also a friend, 8 nurse, and got minute directions for making an- tiseptic pads, gauge and mattress protectors. I made every stitch of baby clothes but shirts. I steril- ized (baked) every sheet and gown and bit of muslin that came into contact with either myself or the baby.
 The room was stripped, scrub bed and stunned. and not germ was left in 1t. The wall paper was cleaned and then wiped again with a cloth.
 This same thing can be done by a careful woman, competent to handle dangerous germicides her. self. I even made my own bichlor- idle gauge, and kept 1t in damp rolls in jars. But I should ad- wise buying that at the drugstore now.

 My nurse was competent wo- man and my doctor always had my confidence.
 By spreading my preparations over months, the money came easier. or at least was not so greatly missed.

 Not a chance must be taken, for life depends on it. But it can be done and it may help and com | fort the coming mother who can see no other way out, to know that 1t can be done.
