bit as bad as weeping babies, and no

A tear or two never harmed a perfect

Of syrup is quite normal. The tears In
themselves are nothing to worry about
unless yeast and mold start growing
on the Seepage. To prevent this, do not
fill the glasses too full; cover well, and
store in a cool, dry place, free from
dust and mildew.
Excessive separation-the condition
known as weeping lis due purely to

you follow the recipe exactly. Always
choose fully ripe fruit to start with

try counting aloud-to be sure you get

HIGHWAYS OF TOMORROW

Compared to the roads Of a gen
Grafton ago. modern highways are
marvels of excellence. Yet. in spite
of this phenomenal development. to-
days system is woefully inadequate.
as Frank T. Sheets points out in an
article in Public Safety.
Progressive strides have been
taken in driver education and in
providing safety regulation for We
hicles," says Mr.. Sheets. but the
ultimate in traffic convenience and
safety will not be reached until we
actually provide adequate highways
and build safety into them"
Today's engineers have designed
tomorrow's highways. These mag
nificent roads will include terminal
facilities In cities whereby traffic
will move to various points with
minimum OF congestion: main super
highways of many lanes. with divis-
ions in the center to prevent head
on collisions. will carry cross-coun-
try traffic. avoiding congested areas
enroute: intermediate highways will
serve lUCdl tTduiC uetuSs 6NeH tnt
lowest grade. little-used roads will
be given some cheap form of all
weather surface: arterial urban
streets will carry into and through
cities and towns that part of rural
main trunk traffic which has busi-.
ness in the metropolitan area.
This seems a far OF ideal. but not
long ago the automobile. the radio.
the airplane. the telephone seemed
so. too. The cost of developing high
ways and streets of maximum safe
ty on national scale. will be tre-
mendous-but 1t will he spent over
a long period of time and no form Of
by government can bet
ter serve the people. Better high
ways are not cure-all for the ac-
cident problem-but when we devel-
oD our roads to the noint where the |
chance of accidents is reduced 10
minimum. long step toward low
ering our CHASTITY annual toll of
Deaths will be taken. !

HERE ARE THE HITCHES
BECAUSE CROPS ARE TOO GOOD
]. E. Jones

President Roosevelt and Secretary
of Agriculture Wallace claimed that
they boosted farm income from five
billion dollars In 1882 to ten billion
dollars this year. The farm emer-
gency seemed to be over and Con-
gress thought 1t might "let we'll
enough alone"
Then the Crop Reporting Board
sent out word that there would be
the biggest cotton crop in six years,
the biggest wheat crop since 1881.
the most corn since 1919. The crop
report sent cotton tumbling SO bale
on the market, whereupon the same
Senators who helped kill the Pres
ident's court bill rushed to the White
House and implored the President to
reverse his announced decision to
refuse to peg farm prices unless lin
itations were placed on piling-up
surpluses. Everybody knew perfect
ly well that about eight million bales
of cotton would be all that would be
saleable on the markets. and the
crop report estimated over fifteen
million bales. Would the Govern
ment stop cotton from sinking to
eight cents a pound? Or. would the
Government stand back of the cot
ton growers, as heretofore. and put
Federal money back of the farm
bloc plan to insure price OF IL
cents a pound?
And then an agreement was reach
ed to the effect that Congress would
pass a general farm bill. including
crop control, Immediately upon re-
convening for the coming session.
IL was a trade that saved the face"
OF the President and the Senators.
A few days later the Agricultural
Administration told win
ter wheat farmers to cut their plant
ings to so per cent Of the 1887 acre
age. That was the forerunner OF
what must be the Governments po-
sition with reference to price fixing
on farm products.
The President and Secretary Wal
lace insist that they will have to
check unlimited production for the |
obvious reason that there is no lon
ger unlimited money to finance
crops. Their Ever-Normsl Granary |
and Crop Surplus Control program
must be kept up. or they will be
sunk"
A great many years ago there was
/ shortage of potatoes which sent
prices soaring. Governor Pingree OF
Michigan. started campaign to In
luce everybody to grow potatoes. So
many potatoes were raised next
,ear that the market price dropped
o ten cents bushel. When 1t tum-
lied still lower the potatoes were
allowed to rot in the ground. What
Ak the Federal Government would
lave been in. way back there. II 1t
lad guaranteed dollar a bushel for
II potatoes. That little lesson In
is familiar to the Presi-
ent and Secretarv Wallace.

NEW BATTERY SETS
HAVE IMPROVED TONE
AND POWER OUTPUT

More distant stations, better tone
quality. lower battery drain, greater
volume and more attractive cabinets
are among the many improvements
| included in six new battery-Operated
instruments which have just been re-
ceived from the great RCA Victor
laboratories at Camden. N. Y, by Mr.
/ Edwin Fisher OF the Wharton-Fisher
electric store.
The now famous Magic Brain
mechanism which has revolutionized
AC radio reception has been incor-
pOrated in two new six-tube farm
radios designed for battery operation.
This ingenious electrical unit acts
with an almost human intelligence in
bringing in more distant stations
with greater volume and rejecting in
reference. All of the new receivers
incorporate super-sensitiye perma-
nent-magnet dynamic type loud
speakers with dust screens that pro-
tect the sensitivity of the speaker
throughout the life of the radio set.
They all have large, easy-to-read
dials and the five and six-tube models
have dials with the stations marked
by name for more convenient tuning.
The higher priced instruments have
a unique save-the-battery dial-the
pilot light goes on when you tune and
automatically goes out to save bat
terry drain as soon as the hand leaves
the knob. These latter radios also
have 20-1 gear drive ratio for great
er accuracy with slow speed tuning
and new vernier pointer to help To-
cate closely spaced short-wave radio
stations.
Permanent factory alignment and
adjustment of the radio circus is as
suTed by the use of the new RCA
magnetic core transformers and air
trimmerS which are impervious to
temperature and atmospheric change.
All RCA Victor farm radios have an
advanced type of automatic volume
control which brings in both the
strong and weak signals at substan-
TALLY the same volume and reduces
fading and annoying blare while tun-
ing and listening. The same engi- |
neers have also developed an mex
pensive record-playing mechanism |
scarcely larger than a cigar humi-
dor which when connected to either |
the five-tube farm radio will repro
duce records electrically.
There is a new four-tube table |
model farm radio designed for 2-volt !
and another for 6-volt operation. |
These two radios have already estab-
lished a reputation for exceptional |
performance for so economical a set. |
The other models include five and |
sixtube instruments of the table and
types. all housed in cabinets
u attractive wood veneers. All of !!
he five and six-tnbe RCA Victor farm
radios may be easily converted from
'-volt to 6-volt storage battery oper-
ltion by employing an inexpensive
unit.

Hijacking the Consumer

President Roosevelt deserves
commendation for sidetracking the
Miller-Tydings bill. which would
have made price maintenance agree
ments binding in interstate COM
merce." says the Cottage Grove. Or
egon, Sentinel. These price-fixing
laws, wrongfully called fair trade
laws. extending over a number of
states, are an active threat to con-
sumer purchasing power. :. They
permit the manufacturers, who ac-
count for about half the cost of an
article, to set the entire price of the
product. The distributor. who,
through efficient practices, keeps his
cost of doing business to say 20 per
cent. must charge the same mini
mum price as the less efficient dis
tributor who cannot get his costs
below 40 per cent"
Instances of what legalized price
fixing does to the consumers pock-
etbook are on record. For example,
the head of one of the nations lead
ing department stores says that
since the passage of a price-fixing
law In his state, he has been forced
to increase the retail price of 1,497
trade-marked items an average of 81
per cent. Thus. If you buy those
items. FIVE dollars get you less than
four dollars did before the law went
into effect.
Legalized price fixing is just one
of the several kinds OF legislation
now in the limelight which directly
penalize the consumer. Laws which
unfairly restrict certain kinds of
merchandisers are equally costly. So
are laws which penalize merchand-
Using practices which make II poss-
ible to narrow the spread between
wholesale and retail prices. Some OF
our states have gone on veritsble
legislative rampage against the con-
sumer
President Roosevelt's disapproval
of the Miller-Tydings bill has tenn
porariiy eliminated the threat of ma
tional price-fixing legislation States
should follow that example, and re-
fuse to enact any law which inter-
feres with the healthful processes of
honest competition in manufacturing
and retailing.

PROGRESS IN SAFETY
LEGISLATION

During the 1887 legislative ses-
sions, a number of states made ma
terial contributions to the vital
cause of traffic safety.
Nine states adopted the, standard
drivers license measure-cOnsider-
ed by safety authorities to be an alb
solutely essential step In preventing
accidents. Three other states adopt
ed license measures which, though
non-standard. are believed worth
while. Two states revised and mod
ernized their entire motor vehicle
codes. A number of states worked
toward achieving uniform traffic
legislation. In several states traffic
patrols were extended and reorgan-
lied. and improved systems of train
ing officers established.
AS the managing director of the
National Safety Council points out.
"The country must not make the
grave mistake of expecting too much
of these laws In too short time.
The license law passed today can
not save lives tomorrow. No one
would expect an army Of green re-
cruits to rout firmly entrenched
enemy after the first drill period.
Give 1t time. The long view must al
ways prevail"
However. over period OF months
and years. progress in safety legis-
lation will save thousands of lives
and millions of dollars worth of
The measure of success that has
been achieved in perfecting traffic
legislation must not be allowed to
blind us to the many steps that
must yet be taken IL everything In
the power Of the law to curb acci-
dents is to be- done. Incredible as 1t
seems. In three states only are
chauffeurs required to have a motor
vehicle operators license-and In
TWO states no license for anyone is
required We still have a long way
% go before the highways are made
public opinion can bring |
action.
