Stove Designer Becomes
a Cook to Learn Needs

Cleveland.-It takes more than a
pencil and an artistic eye to design
stoves, washing machines and pam
cake turner's, young Henry Drey-
fuss, New York industrial designer,
made clear here.
Before he can turn out a pancake
turner that women will cry for, he
has to know first how to turn pam
cakes himself, Dreyfuss said. The
same thing applies to machines that
do the family wash, ironing and
hold the refrigeration unit for the
weeks market.
When the young designer rede-
signed washing machine, he spent
nine months with his sleeves rolled
up, washing everything a housewife
does. He caught his fingers in the
wringer, tore buttons off pajamas.
tore lace into shreds.
Now he is going through a siege
of baking, broiling and boiling
everything from potatoes to cakes,
in the interest of more beautiful
and efficient stoves.
Only thirty now, Dreyfuss began
his career as scene designer. He
was art consultant for a large thea
ter chain and won recognition with
his settings for several Broadway
productions, including Fine and
Dandy" "Strike Ne Pink" and
THE Last Mile"

Poor Posture Injurious

Washington.-If your child stands
with his weight on his ankles and
heels, knees slightly bent, head for
ward, chin out, chest fiattened and

truding, his posture is poor, says
the children's bureau of the Labor

The bureau describes poor DOS

GRANGE FIELD

John A. McSparren of Penn

Gathering Wednesday
LAUDS MODERN SCHOOLS

The one-time inferior position of
rural schools has been reversed un-
til nowadays rural children are
better trained and better prepared
to enter colleges and universities
than are city children, declared
John A. McSparren, former Penn
sylvania Secretary of Agriculture
addressing the Kent Grange Wed
nesday at FELTON,. 1t was the an
nual Field Day of Kent Grangers.
Mr.. McSparren, who is a former
master of the Pennsylvania State
Grange and a former candidate for
governor of that state, asserted
that children on the farm and in
smaller communities gain expert
ence denied to city children, giving
the rural children a marked ad-
vantage later in life. Control of
many states by large cities was
famented by Mr.. McSparren, who
pointed to deplorable conditions in
these cities. Declaring the school
the foundation of all government,
he emphasized that the ideal
school must have a Christian inf1u-
ence. The church, the school and
the Grange he described as the
triple bulwark of any community.
He pointed out that the Grange
now has more members than it
ever had before and is the largest
organization of it's kind in the
country. Mr.. McSparren was in
troduced by former Governor Rob-
ert P. Robinson, who is master of
the StateGrange. Mr.. Robinson
also introduced G. A. Glyer, of Will
mington, who spoke on Salesman
ship among farmers" He urged
several methods to boost products
for better prices. The afternoon
Wednesday was held in
Trophy Grange Hall, FELTON,, be-
cause of the rain. Field events
which were to have been held in
the morning were cancelled. The
entire affair was to have been held
at the camp grounds. About 100
members attended the FELTON,
meeting. Mrs. M. A. Frazier. lee
turer of the Kent Grange, was in
charge of the program.

New Life Formula

Los Angeles.-The world of
science was stirred by the feat
of DR.. Ralph Willard. youthful
research chemist, in bringing
back to life a pig after it had
been dead three days.
Doctor Willard announced his

In bringing the animal back

HUNT FOR OIL
THAT INDURES
Ingredient Sought To Mix In
Paint That Will Make

TIP FROM THE INDIANS

shington.-Search for an oil
which forms basic ingredient of
paints which are known to have
withstood exposure for at least 80
years on the unprotected faces of
mountain cliffs In southern Cali
fornia will be one of the objectives
of DR.. John p. Harrington, Smith
sonian institution ethnologist, when
he resumes his field work among
the Mission Indians.
BY extensive Inquiries among
the Indians last fall, Doctor Har-
rington confirmed the fact that this
oil Is pressed from the seeds Of
the chilicothe, species of wild
cucumber. 1t is now quite rare.
but grows In the southern Califor-
MIA mountains In places known to
the Indians Formerly, closely re-
lated plants were found over most
of the United States, but they have
become very scarce.
Doctor Harrington will try to OBJ
tain enough of the chilicothe Gu
cumbers to yield a sufficient supply
of the oil for experimental pur-
poses. to determine whether it is
this ingredient which gives the
paint its remarkable lasting quail
ity. The Indians obtain it In the
crudest soft Of way, merely crush
ing it out of the seeds with a stone
pestle.
Five colors Obtained.
Using this oil as a base, five col
ors Of paint are obtained. Red
pigment is manufactured by mixing
chilicothe oil with red scum from
the surface of springs whose water
contains high percentage of iron.
White and yellow paints are OBJ
tanned by mixing the oil with native
elays of those colors. A black,
which retains its gloss for years, is
made by mixing the oil and oxide
OF manganese. Blue can be OBJ
tanned from mixture Of the oil and
powdered azullte-a mineral COM
mon in the neighborhood.
Apparently, no other substance
enters into any of these paints,
which Withstand all the vicissitudes
Of weather literally for centuries.
These rock pictures are referred
to by the Indians as spirit paint
ings." Fresh ones still appear from
time to time In the depths of the
mountains. Near the missions are
some which are known to be at
least $50 years old, having antedat-
ed the coming of the Spanish mis-
sionaries.
"spIrits" Work at Night.
The spirits" always work during
the night, their handiwork appear
ing In the morning. The paintings.
of course, are the work Of medicine
men. The attitude toward them
Of the people as a whole Is a curl
GUS mixture of belief and sophisti-
cation. Few actually believe that
"spirits" produce the picture. but
some still hold that they are the
work Of supernatural agencies
working through the medicine man.
1t was from some of the shamans
themselves that Doctor Harrington
obtained the formulas for the
paints.
The oil is also used extensively
by the Indian women as a sunburn
lotion. These women. in spite of
their red skins, burn badly when
exposed to the summer sun for long
periods. The oil presumably not |
only absorbs those wave lengths of
the solar spectrum causing sum-
burn, as do many preparations reg

also tend to make the skin redder.

Points to Observe

Has the farmer a herd of
COWS? milk from a herd Is ad-
vised, rather than milk from a
single cow
Are cows and stable reason
ably clean?
Is the cows bag washed and
wiped clean before each milk
ing?
Does the mixer wear a clean
suit and wash and wipe his
hands before performing his
task?
Does the farmer not only
wash but sterilize milk pals,
strainers and cans?
Are the milk handlers appar-
emily in good health? (Be sus-
picious of the cough that may
mean tuberculosis.)
An epidemic of typhoid or Of
scarlet fever may be spread by
milk.
If you would protect your
baby, watch his milk supply
unless an enlightened commun-
ity does it for you, and then be
guided by the safeguards of
grading and handling which it
erectS.

Rural Sections

However, am just as much
interested in the health and
wel-being of babies on farms
and in small communities as in
the larger places, and I know
from years of residence in a
rural section how careful the
parents living in lch localities
must be about the milk which
feeds their little ones.
Where pasteurized milk is not
sold, and where the community
enforces no high standards of
dairy inspection, every father
should be his own milk inSpec-
tor. This is a job which he can
perform more easily than the
mother, and one which he should
not neglect.
A man living in the country,
or in a small community, with
out the equivalent Of good mu-
nicipal milk protection, should
follow his baby's milk from the
bottle back to the farm. Let
him pay that farm an unherald-
ed visit-preferably at milking
time, night or morning. Here
are some of the points for him
to observe:

of two lovely costumes which
we can heartily recommend.
At the left, row upon row of
dainty, shirred rufrles make the
soft sleeves and turnover collar
of a good daytime dress. The
tie sash is faced with plain ma
terial, accenting one of the
flower colors in the print. Jewel
buttons down the bodice add a
decorative note.
On the right, her companion
has chosen a multi-colored floral
print on dark background, with
shirring across the back and
shoulders for a feminine touch.
The loose, full sleeves and flared
skirt are new notes, also con-
tributing grace and freedom.
The flowers at the belt are cop"
led right off the print.

Legal Safeguards

Many mothers unfortunately
cannot afford to buy this Ger.
titled milk. But, if they live in
large communities, Grade A
milk, pasteuriZed and bottled,
will give their babies excellent
protection.
This label is given only to
milk from COWS which, after
examination, have been found
free from tuberculosis. The
general conditions of produc.
ton and handling must be good
and the bacterial count low.
One admitted advantage of
bringing up a baby in a city is
the legal protection thrown
about its milk supply, and this
factor alone undoubtedly has
had much to do with the re-
duction of infant mortality dur
ing the last quarter of a cen
fury.
OF course, poor grades of milk
are on sale in cities, but they
are labeled, and those who pur-
chase know what risks they are
taking.
It is particularly unwise for
the mother to buy dipped milk
for her baby, as the chances of
contamination are much in.

handling.
