Revival of Ancient Art Tapestry Making Keeps Fingers Bus
The Old Gardener Saws:

Most garden makers have
found 1t exceedingly difncult, II
not impossible, to grow lettuce
successfully during the Summer
months. With the approach Of
cooler weather. however, lettuce
can again be grown. This is par
ticularly true If rich soil Is avail
able and plenty Of water can be
used. Lettuce will stand up un-
der the first light frosts, and can
be protected by . little straw at
night when the weather gets
colder. The ideal plan, however,
Is to SOW the seed in cold frames
and to put on the glass when the
nights become cold. When grown
in this way, lettuce can be made
available for home use until we'll
into the Winter. Varieties such
as Wayahead and May King ma
ture in less than so days, but it Is
possible to begin using all kinds OF
lettuce long before heads have
formed.

PITTSBURGH, June 23.--Small
towns produce the best sandlot
baseball clubs.
That's the opinion of j. Honus
Wagner, high commissioner Of the
semi-pros and coach of the Pitts
burgh Pirates.
Honus backs his assertion by
pointing to the 1896 national sand
lot championships Duncan, Okla
team, from town Of $500 persons.
Then there is the runner-up Blu
ford, Ga, nine, from a town Of
1900. And the South Dakota state
championship team from Howard,
population LOO.
THE boys in the small towns
have the advantage" Wagner ex-
plains. "They take their baseball
more seriously They are more apt
to hold daily practice sessions and
to have support from home folks
than are teams from the cities"
More than 10000 clubs, Wagner
says, will be represented this year
in the program of the National
Semi-Pro Baseball Congress. The
teams will compete in state tour
nament programs. with winners
eligible for the regional games to
determine national finalists.

Henderson daily dispatch., 1937-12-22

Ricketts, is the disease Of infancy
and childhood which appears in the
early spring months with most fire.
quency-but it appears then be-
cause it is bred during the dark
DAYS of winter. It is caused by
lack Of Vitamin D in the body, and
the natural way Of making Vita
min D is by exposure Of the skin
to the suns rays.
In the spectrum, or rainbow, the
breakup of the white light Of the
sun shows the red rays at one end
and the violet at the other. About
13 per cent Of the electromagnetic
waves in sunlight are visible to the
eye. The long light waves are at
the red end, and beyond them, in
visible, are the infra-red, which
produce heat. They have pene-
trating power, as can be felt in
side a window pane on freezing
day. Down at the other end, be-
iyond the violet, are the ultraviolet
rays and they do not have the pene-
trating powers of the waves at the
other end Of the spectrum. They
do not penetrate ordinary window
glass, for instance.
The proportion Of these waves in
sunlight is always the same, but
owing to their varying ability to
penetrate. the amount which
Henderson daily dispatch., 1937-12-22
Darkest Day Of Year
Brings Thoughts on ricketts,

reaches the earth varies greatly.
The season Of the year and the
condition Of the atmosphere deter
mine the amounts. When the sun
is directly overhead the penetration
is best, and naturally clouds, fog,
smoke and dust impede their pas
sage.
Ultraviolet Rays Like Sunlight
These ultraviolet rays produce
all the effects that sunlight pro-
duces on the skin-tanning being
the most evident. More important
for health is that they form Vita
min D in the skin, which is alb
sorbed and carried to the liver,
where it is stored to be doled out
as the body needs it.
This Vitamin D is the substance
which controls calcium utilization
in the body. Ricketts, is disease Of
lack Of calcium. The bones, de-
prived Of calcium, grow soft and
may become deformed. Calcium
may be present in the food and in
the blood, but for some mysterious
reason, unless Vitamin D is pres
ent, it cannot be utilized by the
bones.
Therefore, get all the sunlight
you can for yourself, but, even
more important, for your children,
these winter days. Even on cloudy
days there are some ultraviolet
rays which penetrate the mists.
Skyline and cloudshine have about
one-fourth the power Of sunshine,
but that is something and must be
seized. Inside the house won't do
because, as we have said, the ultra
violet rays do not penetrate win
dow glass unless it is especially
made with that in mind.
Vitamin D can, Of course, be OBJ
tanned artificially, and there is
some in nearly any diet. It can be
deliberately added by giving cod
liver Oil or the substance known as
viosterol, and it is so important for
babies to have this that they are
fed these substances in their diet.
But nothing beats natures way, so
get what sunshine you can these
dark days.
