HOW
PSYCHOLOGISTS TEST FOR
GARLIC ONION BREATH

PHYSlOLOGlSTS TESI Fun
GARLIC, ONION BREATH
The pages of the Journal OF the
American Medical Association
are serving as the battle-ground
for a controversy about garlic
breath. The question at issue is
whether the disulphide oils which
cause the odor are conveyed to
the breath by way of the stom-
ach, the blood stream and the
lungs, or whether they are SIM
ply retained in the mouth when
garlic Cor onion) is chewed. 1t is
a question of commercial impor-
lance to antiseptic manufacture
ers.
A short time ago two physiolo-
gists of Yale university published
an account of tests which they
said proved that the odor results
from particles retained in the
mouth.
They let their subject chew and
swallow a bit of garlic; they let
him chew it without swallowing,
and they also had him swallow
garlic in a gelatin capsule with
out chewing it. In each case
they observed the quantity of the
odorous oil exhaled. They found
that when the garlic was chewed,
whether or not it was swallowed,
the breath was strongly tainted.
But when the garlic was swal-
lowed in a capsule the breath
remained sweet.

Trousers Ridiculed

The word trousers" seems to be
derived from the. French word
'trousse," which signifies to tie or
lace up tightly. Trousers first be-
gan to be worn about the beginning
Of the last century. They were much
ridiculed at first, and it was hardly
considered respectable to be seen In
them. In October, 1912, orders were
issued by Trinity and st. Johns
college, London, that students ap-
pearing in hall or chapel In pam
falcons on. trousers should be com
sidered a. absent.

Moving Weeds Aids Grass

Moving weeds and removing
brush and other tall vegetation en-
courages the spread of more benef-
cial grasses, clover, and lespedeza,
eliminates the competition for mois-
ture and plant food, and results in
a turf more resistant to soil erosion,
the Soil Conservation Service has
found. In the past 2 years moving
has been extended over more than
100000 previously unmowed acres
of grassland on Soil Conservation
Service erosion control areas. Fair
ly high mowing-from to 6 inches
when weeds are about in full bloom
is recommended.

How to Hold Beauty Of Wood

Natural beauty should be retained
whenever practicable in choosing
woodwork finishes. If the wood is
beautiful in itself and well matched
for color and grain, q varnish OF
wax finish may be given if the room
scheme permits, Inexpensive woods,
or others that have been poorly
selected, are generally given fin
ish Of paint, enamel, or lacquer.
These finishes provide smooth at
tractive opaque coatings.

Saving Poultry From Heat

Good ventilation in the poultry
flock is the vest way to prevent heat
prostration. The north side of the
house should be opened to allow
free circulation Of the air. Win
dows or doors on the east or west
side of the building should be opened
to allow free air movement. If there
is a room ventilator it should be
opened because this too increases
air movements. Insulation of the
roof, Of course, helps materially to
reduce the Temperature In the room.

Marketing Milk

Three major adjustments in milk
transportation and production prac-
tees would save farmers thousands
of dollars annually, according to
agricultural economists of the Uni
versity of Illinois. More dollars in
the pockets of producers and better
service to consumers could be
brought about by Encouragement OF
hauling routes so as to reduce mile
age and increase load volume, by
marketing more milk through coun-
try plants and by narrowing the sea-
sonal variation in milk production.

RED CROSS HOME SAFETY
ACTIVITIES

The Home and Farm Accident
Prevention Program was begun on
a natinal scale in the fall of 1896
after the experience of several chap
ters had proven its practically as
local project.
The Red Cross adopted home
and farm accident prevention as one
Of it's regular, continuing programs
in 1886, appointing John Melpolder
Of the National staff as consultant
in Washington. At this time 1t was
apparent that deaths resulting from
home accidents might soon outrank
even fatalities, and that year-round
program over a considerable period
of time would be necessary to cut
the toll appreciably.
Red Cross had an unusual oppor
tunity to personalize its program be-,
cause of its 300 Chapters. Each
unit, knowing the safety needs of
its community, could plan to meet
those needs intelligently, especially
SO because its activities were already
directed by community leadership.
The focal point of attack was the
inspection of homes by household
ers whose interest had been arous-
ed through an educational campaign.
Red Cross home inspection forms,
or check lists, were distributed by
National Headquarters to the Chap
ter, by the Chapter to the Junior
Red Cross and other school children
of the community. The school child
rem took the forms home and asked
the direction of parents in remove
ing hazards from the home.
The first year (1935, twenty-five
million check lists were distributed
and an estimated total of ten millions
homes reached. Two thousand five
hundred Chapters from coast to
coast took part. This experience
showed which of the Chapters were
structurally equipped to maintain
home and farm accident prevention
on permanent basis. This year the
check lists are being sent only to
Chapters requesting them, and it is
heartening that 100 Chapters have
ordered. A first printing of seven
million check lists has been prepared
to meet this demand.
Since nearly twice as many per-
sons are accidentally killed in agri-
culture as in manufacturing and
construction combined-and because
little safety pioneering has been
done on a national scale in this field
the Red Cross is combating farm
work accidents which occur in rural
and urban homes. Through rural
schools, home inspection forms
reach the farm home. In addition,
organizations with contacts with the
farm, such as All Clubs, Home De-
monstration Agents and others, are
cooperating closely with the Red
Cross.
Last year home accident fatalities
took an unprecedented jump to 49,
500 thereby going ahead of traffic
fatalities by 700. Unfortunate as
this circumstance is, it will never
theless be help to Chapters in urg-
ing the need for community action.
The fact that more persons met
their death in allegedly safe homes
than on admittedly unsafe highways
is news, and news means copy.

HOW to Preserve Drawings

Drawings and blueprints become
spotted and dirty when in use in
the home shop, obscuring the lines

coat Of thinned-down shellac before
using, they can be kept clean by
wiping off with a dampened rag.
The paper is also made more dur
able by the shellac coating.
