One Million Helped
by Social Security

WASHINGTON, Aug. %. More
than 100000 individuals already
have been brought under the shelter
ing wing of the federal social secur-
ity act, it was revealed today by
John G. Winant, chairman of the
social security board, in a report on
the first year Of operation under the
law.
Approved old-age assistance plans
are now operating in 36 states, the
District of Columbia and Hawaii,
while % states have approved plans
for the aid Of dependent children
and Fl have programs for assistance
to the blind, Mr.. Winant declared.
Under the unemployment compen-
sation section of the act, IA states
and the District of Columbia have
adopted unemployment compensa-
ton laws covering As per cent of the
industrial population of the country,
and IA other states will consider
such laws when their legislatures
convene next year.
Act Is Criticized
There are those who have criti-
cized this act, the chairman said,
but that has been true of all social
welfare legislation. In order to get a
clearer understanding of the object
tives sought in relation to the parti-
cular legislation enacted, it may be
well to suggest certain underlying
principles and factual information
that motivated those responsible for
the development of the social secur-
ity act.
''The ends sought under this meas
ure are set out under three major
categories. Public assistance is ac-
complished through grants-in-aid to
the states to assist needy and de-
pendent persons. This method of pro-
cedure was necessary because of the
inadequacy of state revenues to
meet the increasing obligations with
which the states are charged. It was
necessary to supplement state mon
eys with federal grants so that the
aged, the blind, and dependent chill
dren might be protected without
overlooking state budgets.

Garden of Eden

The Britannica says that many
speculatiOns have been made as to
the site Of the garden, thought to
be an oasis In a barren land. the
verses in Genesis suggesting a site
north of Babylon; to define the site
from the details given is impossible
while any attempt to locate a myth
illogical garden is bound to be at
tended by considerable difficult.
Funk and Wagnalls' "A Standard
Bible Dictionary" says the location
has been the subject of many spec
ulatiOnS, some Of which have moth
ing but their grOtesqueness to give
them interest. Palestine, Syria. Ar
menia, Mongolia, Kashmir, Merry,
Australia, Mesopotamia and North
Pole have all been suggested as
the site. OF these Lower Mesopotamia
and Armenia alone deserve con-
sideratiOn. The writer adds that
there is no spot on earth from
which one vast river branches into
four channels that encircle such
tracts Of land as are named in the
first chapters Of Genesis.

Early Grown Onions Will
Bring the Fewest Tears


Onions bring tears to the eyes
because Of the powerful vola-
tile oil they contain-but their
strength" depends somewhat upon
when and where they are grown.
"Onions grown. during the winter,
spring, and early summer have a
milder odor than those of the same
variety grown later In the sum-
mer," says w. r. Beattie, of the
bureau Of plant industry, United
States Department of Agriculture.
"HOt growing temperatures enable
the onion to produce more Of the
tear-producing oil than cooler tenn
peratures."
Discovery that tears from onions
are caused by a volatile oil is &C
credited to German chemist. He
distilled more than a ton of onions
to obtain less than one-tenth of q
pint Of pure oil. A drop of this
oil is said to be enough to make
the Odor Of onions noticeable
throughout several large buildings.
One variety Of Italian red onion
Is almost Odorless when grown in
its native Italy, but decidedly
stronger when grown in this cOun-
try. The most pungent varieties
grown in the United States are the
Red Creole, White Portugal, Aus
tralian Brown, and Ebenezer, and
in the mildest group are the Ital-
ian Red and sweet Spanish types.

1885 Registration Is
Largest In History
Increase Over 1885 1896 Motor
Vehicles Of All Classes-Total
Tax $6,99S,684

Mike Holm, Secretary Of State,
reported Wednesday that the total
motor vehicle registration for
1895 Is the largest that has been
recorded in any one year in the
State of Minnesota. The high point
before the depression was in 1890
when the total number registered
was 744,271, The total number of
all classes of motor vehicles for
the year of 1885 was 753,O76.
Included in the 1885 total were
62O,891 passenger cars, 105, $3.50
trucks and tractors, 24,26O trailers,
241 buses operating beyond the
limits of single municipality or
group Of contiguous municipalities,
222 snowmobiles, and 1923 motor
cycles.
The total net registration tax of
these vehicles amounted to $685.
684.78. This total does not include
$785, 307.54 which was refunded to
the owners owing to the tax reduc-
ton provided by the 1885 legisla-
ture. -.
The 1894 motor vehicle registra-
ton was 724,110. The 1895 registra-
ton shows an increase in all vehi-
cles Of 28,966. The 1885 increase of
A and B cars is 1885 over 1884.
The increase in all trucks was l.
935. The following table gives an
interesting account of the increase
in registration year by year, during
the past Is years: ..

Many Uses for Cacti

addicts into irresponsible madmen.

The Plimsoll Mark

The mark on the side Of a ship
that looks like the sign on the end
Of well-known cracker box is the
Plimsoll mark, or sailors safeguard,
originated by Samuel Plimsoll of
Bristol, England, and adopted BY
act Of parliament to protect insur.
ance companies from dishonest ship
pers who criminally overloaded un-
seaworthy ships, over-insured them
and then sent them out to their
doom in the seas. Even though
sailors have signed articles, says
a writer in the Washington Post,
they cannot be compelled to sail
on a ship loaded deeper than this
mark. Its position is mathemat-
ically accurate, being figured on
the form, displacement and cargo
carrying capacity Of the ship. 1t
has been adopted by all countries.

"China" Name for Porcelain

China" is the name commonly
given to all porcelain, whether made
Of hard or soft paste, sO-called be-
cause 1t was a type of pottery
brought into Europe from the Far
East, entirely different from that
made on the Continent. Porcelain
probably received its name from the
porcelain shell because of its
smooth and translucent white
ness. 1t was made in China for
many centuries, and successful at
tempts to initiate It in Europe, It
Is said, date from about 147O. The
natural or hard-paste porcelain is
made from Kaolin and feldspar. the
latter imparting its translucency.
1t Is covered with glaze and is
so flintlike that It cannot he
scratched. 1t has a clear ring when
struck and Is cold to the touch.
Soft paste porcelain is the result
Of European efforts to initiate the
hard paste porcelain Of China. II

Wooden Shoes of Holland
Put to Variety of Uses

The Hollanders' wooden shoes. or
klompen, serve more purposes than
merely to protect the feet, states a
writer in the Chicago Daily News.
They can be, and sometimes are,
used as weapons Of defense. A
Dutch David will get even with q
Dutch Goliath by aiming the first
klomp, and when the wooden shoe
Is used for the same purpose that
other people use fists, it can be
said that the fight is on a more
equal footing.
In their old age klompen add
much gayety to the life of the
children who live in this land of
canals, for they constitute most
Of the sail-boats Of youngsters.
They also bring amusement to
many travellers, for when boats
pass through the lock of a canal
the tollkeeper is as likely as not
to dangle over them an old klomp
from the line Of a fishing rod. The
boat owner then puts the toll in It.
Klompen are seldom seen in cit
les except on market days, when
countrymen come to town. They
look very uncomfortable to city folk,
but country people think nothing
of jumping over a 4-foot fence
without losing their heavy, unlaced
footgear. In some sections klompen
are skillfully carved and form
quite as decorative a part Of the
costume Of girls as do their quaint
lace b0nnets. The Hollander would
certainly lose many a foothold on
life without his klompen.

Ground Sloth Numerous
Millions Of Years A0o

Ground slOths strange numbering
beasts that the first human inhab-
itants of this continent may have
hunted, were immigrants like the
men, but they came from the op-
posite direction. Human migration
came from the northwest, from
Asia; ground sloths came earlier,
and from the southwest, from trop-
fcal America. where the strange
race of beasts had their first home.
Sloths lived long In South Amer
lea without appearing on the north
ern continent. because through
millions Of years of the earlier
part of the Age Of Mammals there
was a wide area of sea between
North and South America.
When this closed over, perhaps
thirty million years ago, intermigra-
ton of animals began between the
two continents. and the first sloths
appeared in North America. These
developed four distinct genera,
which ranged in size from a six
month calf to a short-legged ele-
plant. The last of them became
extinct a relatively short time ago;
the skeleton of one Of them, found
In New Mexico and now in the Yale
museum, still has its ligaments and
part Of its skin.
In South America also the group
survived until the coming Of man.
Far down in Patagonia, in a cave,
there were found large pieces of
skin Of one Of these animals, with
its coating of hair still on 1t, to-
gether with the sloth's skull. The
cave also yielded evidence of hu-
man occupation while the 10th was
still alive.

MOSQUE of the Roses

In Constantinople, or Istanbul, as
it Is called today, is an exquisite
little church known as Gul Djami
Mosque of the ROses), probably
built in the Tenth century. when
the city was Christian one. Here,
in the middle of the Fifteenth CEN
fury, on the night before the Turks
took the city, the Christian emperor
and his patriarch passed the night
praying before the final dawn, and
when the Turks entered they found
the church still garlanded with
roses, and so it has been called ever
since.
