FREEZING SWEET CORN RE-
TAINS IT'S FRESHNESS

Sweet corn frozen on the cob and
marketed 6 months to year after il
is harvested may seem fresher and
sweeter than sweet corn bought aH
the market with husks still freshs
In fact, the roasting ears" In wins
ter may actually be fresher and more
nearly like corn just gathered in the
field. Freezing, according to stud-
les in the West coast laboratories of
the United States Department OF
Agriculture stops, most of the chang4
es that normally take place so rapids
ly in sweet corn after it is gathered
1t is a commonplace that city
jewellers who buy from city markets
can never really enjoy the very highs
est quality of corn-on-the-cob be-
cause the sugars in corn begin
changing to starches as soon as the
corn is removed from the stalk. The
ideal way to serve sweet corn is to-
gather it, husk it, boil it, and eat it,
all within half hour. Strictly
fresh corn is too much for a city
dweller to hope for, unless he grows
his own corn in his own yard. Get
ting corn from the fields to the
wholesale and then to the retail
markets takes a day or longer.
In freezing corn on the cob, H. G.
Diehl and j. A. Berry, In their ex-
periments for the Department
worked the material rapidly, and
usually gathered, sorted, graded
husked, scalded, and cooled the corn
for freezing within 4 hours. The
scalding, they think, practically stop
eed the chemical changes that take
place in corn, and the subsequent
freezing kept them stopped, so that
the frozen product served months
after it was gathered was roughly
the equivalent of corn served within
hours after picking.

Bah MANNERS AND BROKEN
HEADS

Under the heading, bad Manners
and Broken Heads" the Keystone
Motorist makes vigorous attack on
many Of the practices prevalent I'M
motoring, declaring that "there is
direct-and tragic - relation be-
tween the toll of deaths and injuries
on the highways and the unwillings
ness of motor vehicle operators to
observe even the rudimentary rules
of common courtesy"
The magazine, which is the Official
publication of the Keystone Automo-
bile Club of Maryland, handles the
subject without gloves, denouncing
in strong terms the 'impolitenesss
lack of consideration, discourtesys
impudence and impatience" of some
drivers as a major factor in automo-
bile accidents.
Quoting definition of politeness
as Good nature regulated by good
sense" the editorial continues:
"There is little of good nature
regulated by good sense in the ac-
lions of a driver who hogs the roads
both on straightaway and curves;
who arrogantly assumes a right Oh
way at crossings; who dashes for4
ward when traffic light changess
intolerant of pedestrians who may
be in his path; who with headstrong
insistence keeps edging up in line
of traffic, preventing cars on a side
street from entering the line.
IF impoliteness in operation OF
motor vehicles involved only breach
Of good manners, it would merit Sc
we're condemnation. But 1t goes
much deeper than that. The driver
at the wheel of powerful motor
car has responsibility to society
that demands the clearest thinking.
and soundest judgment of which ha
is capable. He fails utterly in these
major requisites of driving If he
neglects or refuses to give considers
are afoot or riding in vehicles. +
"Politeness is not virtue reserve
ed for the high-born. It can be ex4
emplified by the person Of lowly
birth, meager means and limited ed@
ucation, as we'll as by the man o1
wealth and social position. Anyone
can practice 1t, without a cent in
cost, but with returns in good will
more valuable than gold. 1t res
quires only goodnatured outlooE
on life and spirit eof friendliness
toward ones neighbor. without it,
the highways of the Nation are a
menace; with it motor car accidents
can be reduced to a minimum and
motoring will again become an uns
mixed pleasure"

YOUTH OF AMERICA NOT SPEEI

Detroit, Sept. 10-"The youth of
America could hardly be called

Weaver, Director, Customer Re-

This assertion is based on an
analysis of owner reactions, gather
ed during the past year through the
mailing of over 100000 question
naires to car owners in all sections
of the country. A breakdown of
the data on an age basis makes it
possible to compare the tastes and
desires of youth with those of adults.
"Our analysis shows that the youn-
ger generation wants a top cruising

ject of safety was stressed more fire.

ups, although the point was fire.
quently made bye both groups that
an extra margin of speed and pick

with modern traffic conditions.
"The most outstanding point of
differences between the young people
and the adult group is that an over
whelming majority of the boys and
girls want radios in their cars and it
was pointed out over and over again
that radio equipment makes for
slower, safe driving. AS one col

A STRING OF PEARLS
Evangelist John Moses Baker
Baltimore, Md,

A string of pearls and beauty
Kind words and deeds of love;
Like fragrance from the flowers,
And skies so blue above.
A string of pearls and beauty
Making the children glad;
Scattering blessed sunshine
In the lives of lassies and lad.
A string of pearls and beauty
AS the days are going by;
Helping to tighten burdens,
When clouds overcast the sky.
A string of pearls and beauty
Peace and good will to all;
Making this old world better,
AS we obey the Master call.

Of Pasadena, Cal. Mr.. Winn is a
member Of the board of lecture
ship of the Mother Church, the
First Church of Christ, Scientist,
in Boston, Mass. He was intro
duced by Walter H. Moling, First
Reader of First Church under the
auspices Of which this lecture was
given. The lecturer said in part:
I'VE learn in Christian Science
that a right idea or the truth
about a thing will always save us
from a belief in its seeming oppo-
site. God is the only Mind: hence
Mind and good are essentially
one; they are synonymous. Since
Mind is infinite good, the only
true thoughts are thoughts which
are good; that is, those thoughts
which proceed from the divine
Mind.

Virginia Gold Cup Association Race to b
: Run at Warrenton Next Saturday,;
Good Card Is Scheduled

Next week will be so full of
wonderful events in Virginia
We hardly will get rested up
from the Maryland Hunt Cup
Of today, and the wonderful
Hunt Ball of tonight, that will
be held at the Alcazar in Balti-
more. before we will be in the
midst of the beautiful Apple
Blossom Festival in Winchester,
TO be given May when Mrs.
John Hay Whitney will be
queen of the Apple Blossom
Festival. There will be enter
tainmentS by the people Of
Winchester for almost every
hour Of the day. Friday there
viii be the Stuyvesant School
Horse Show and on Saturday
the famous Gold Cup race.
The Virginia Gold Cup Asso-
citation will hold their race
meeting next Saturday, May S,
at Warrenton, over the estates
Of Robert C. Winmill and Bald
win D. Spilman. The Virginia
Gold Cup race was started 13
years ago by Mr.. E. Ashley
Cooper and Mr.. James K. Mad
dux and has been a source Of
great enjoyment and interest
and has grown in attendance
from year to year.
Being helc the week after
the Maryland Hunt Cup, it
draws a great many horses
from that race. The first Gold
Cup was won after the fourth
year by Mrs. William F.. Hit,
the first year of the race her
Irish Laddie won. The second
year i; was won by her Oddly.
Mrs. Perkins Parana won the
third year. and Mrs. Hits
John Bunny the fourth year.
Mrs. Hit having won the race
three times the cup went to
her for permanent possession.
Another Gold Cup was then
subscribed for and last year
Mr.. and Mrs. Sumner Pingree,
owner Of Flying Horse Farms,
VINO had won it in 1880 with
scissors, in 1892 with Melita
II and last year, 1893, with
The Prophet, so they got the
second Gold Cup for keeps, but
the Virginia Gold Cup AsSocia-
ton is very fortunate in having
such friends as Mr.. and Mrs.
Pingree for they have sub
scribed the beautiful new Gold
Cup for this years race.
Entries for this years race
close today. It is believed
there will be keener competition
for this lovely new cup than
eyer before.
At a recent meeting of the
executive committee, Sterling
Larrabee was elected a new
member and it was decided
that the Gold Cup Race would
be run this year as the third
race at $50 p. m. rather than
as the fourth race at 4:15
p. m. as has been the custom.
There will be four races this
year:
The Agricultural Steeplechase
to be run at 11:15 a. m.
The North Wales Steeple.
chase to be run at IL noon.
The Virginia Gold Cup to be
run at $3.50 p. m.
