Tricks for Hot Days
Suggested by Physicians.

When the thermometer hovers close
to 80, it's time to organize your activi-
ties on a hot weather basis, in the
opinion of the Minnesota State Medical
Associations Committee on public
health education.
There are hot weather tricks that
will increase the comfort and health
of workers as well as stay-at-homes.
Dressing for the weather in light
colored, cool, loose clothing is essential
for all and a special hot weather pro-
gram of taking it as easy as possible
For those who must exert themselves
and who perspire freely, extra water
and fruit juices should be taken and
also at least a teaspoonful of salt daily
should be added to the diet The extra
fluid makes up for the fluid loss and
the salt makes up for the salt loss in
perspiration.

FRUIT BEVERAGES.

BY starting now, in June, to bottle
fruit juice, by the end of the summer
we can have an interesting collection
of juice to be used in beverages, or fol
jellies during the winter months.
To prepare the fruit, wash il
thoroughly, place it in a bowl, lifting
out gently to a second bowl, using the
fingers as a sieve. Do this two OF
three times until there is no dirt OF
sand in the bottom of the bowl. Dc
not let the fruit stand in the water
To extract the juice, mash small por-
ton of the washed fruit in kettle and
then stir while heating it quickly-just
to the Simmering point. Remove at
once from the fire to prevent boiling
as this spoils the flavor of the juice
The low temperature helps to retain,
not only the flavor, but the color as
we'll. Drain the heated juice through a
jelly bag. If you are extracting the
less juicy fruit such as rhubarb or
apple, little longer cooking at the
simmering point is required.
A small amount of water may need
to be added-about one-fourth cup of
water per pound of fruit. It is not
necessary to add sugar to preserve the
juice, but you may wish to do so,
for it helps retain color and slightly
improves the flavor of the juice. When
used, it should be added to the same
juice and dissolved by stirring just be-
fore the juice is relocated for bottling.
To bottle the juice, reheat to the sim
mering point for about 10 minutes
Pour the juice into hot Sterilized bot
ties, filling to within inch of the top,
if pads are used for sealing, or two
inches from the top if corks are used.
To process, place the sealed bottles in
a rack or on false bottom in large
container of hot water on the stove.
It is best to lay the bottles on their
sides not more than three layers deep
and not crowded in the container.
There should be sufficient water to
come to at least inches over the top
layer of the bottles. Heat the water
to the simmering point, 185 degrees F.,
and hold at this temperature for 10
minutes. Remove at once and allow to
cool. If corkS are used, dip the corks
and the tops of the bottles into para
fin. Then store in a cool, dark, dry
place. -Inez M. Hobart.

PUTTING AWAY
BLANKETS.

| Some of the winter blankets may need
cleaning before they are stored for the
summer If the blankets are washed
at home, it is well to bear in mind that
wool requires special care in washing.
Wool, when wet, is sensitive to rubbing
and sudden changes of temperature.
If strong alkalis are put into the wash
or rinse water, the wool fibers are likely
to become harsh. White fibers will be
yelloWed.
LukeWarm water for both washing
and rinsing wool is desirable. Soft
water, free from impurities, is best, but
not water that has been softened with
large quantities of strong washing
powders. Borax may be safely used in
! the water to which the soap is added.
1t has proved best to dissolve the soap
| in tho water using neutral soap. When
the water has been prepared, put the
| blankets down into large quantity of
lukewarm suds. If washing machine
is used, it is particularly important to
have the soap evenly distributed be-
| fore the blankets are immersed.
Many people insist that blankets
come out best when washed by hand,
but, as they are heavy and clumsy to
handle, it is much easier to do them in
machine One double blanket is about
the capacity of the ordinary family size
machine. 1t is best to wash the blanket
in the machine only short time as
long running of the machine pounds
the blanket so that the wool becomes
felted and is no longer soft and fluffy.
The water for the second washing and
for the rinsing should be of the same
temperature as that used for the first
washing. After rinsing until no soap
remains, the blanket may be run
through loosely set wringer or spun
in an extractor. Remember that
blankets should be washed quickly. To
allow them to soak tends to make
them harsh and may induce Shrinkage.
If the blanket is washed by hand, it
is best to squeeze and work it about in
the lukewarm suds without rubbing. A
so-called vacuum cone one stick is a
convenient tool for doing this if used
carefully.
To dry the blanket, it is well to hang
| it over a line with from fourth to a
half of the blanket on one side, or,
better still, to distribute the weight over
several lines. Squeeze the excess water
out of the ends occasionally. The

POStman Has Travelled
100000 Miles on Job.

Luverne- Resigning after 30 years of
service, A. j. Pemberton, veteran Mag
nolia mail carrier, estimates that dur
ing those 80 years he has travelled more
than 100000 miles while covering his
route. If he had gone in a straight
line, he would have encircled the globe
about twelve and half times. When
he first began carrying mail out of
Magnolia the route was 81 miles long.
Since then, however, it has been in
creased to 81 miles Mr.. Pemberton has
used every known vehicle except a
klddie car to carry the mail. When his
mules were out he turned to a bicycle
and when that had outworn it's useful
ness, he used motorcycle. Since 1914
he drove car except when roads were
bad and then horses had their chance.
Mr.. Pemberton's only regret in resign
ing is that he hasn't a chance to cover
the route in an airplane for if he could
do that, his happiness would be COM
plete.

TT HAPPENED AT THE CAPITOL.
Guest Editor This Week
Victor A. Johnston

flcCOr n. johnston
OptimiStS who predicted that tn
special session Of the Legislature which
opened May oath would be through
in three weeks are almost certain to b
disappointed, but there is still an ex
cellent chance that the peSSimists wht
predicted six weeks session will alst
be wrong. For despite some wranglin&
among members, the legislature as &
whole seems to be in much more
tractable mood than was evidenced al
the regular session and more inclined
to get down to work on the state affairs
This does not mean that all is '1ov5
and kisses between rival factions at the
Capitol, but the almost general condem-
nation drawn down upon the legislature
as result of the fiasco of the regular
session has chastened to some extent a
considerable number of members who
formerly were quite uncompromisirg
and belligerent in their attitude
This new spirit was particularly dis
played in the public hearings held by
the House Tax Committee during the
past week when representatives of bust
ness and industry voiced their protest
against increasing the tax load by
levying the high rate proposed by that
committee. Many of the House mem
bers of the committee who were for
merly almost insulting in their conduct
toward anyone representing business in
terests now seem to pay almost respect
full attention and forgetting political
gestures generally evince a sincere de-
sire to really find out how the tax bill
would affect the business and general
conditions in the state.
There are, of course, still discordant
notes being struck and one of these
came from the Governors Memorial
Day Proclamation, in which he said:
I'm world already frustrated by War
to the point of despair, what blasphemy
it is to make our saints and heroes
the men of war, the battle slain"
Veterans organizations promptly
lashed back at the governor, and
Senator Vim Weber of Slayton intro
duced in the Senate resolution con-
demning the proclamation as IAN insult
to those who served our country in time
of war, living and dead"
Further disturbances have developed
in the House as result of seeming re-
taliation by Speaker Barker and his
secretary, Art Jacobs, on those who
tried to GUST the speaker in the opening
days of the special session
Many opposition members were
of their committee assignments
but this was more or less expected.
They did not expect, however, to be
subjected to petty indignancies which
seem prompted solely by a desire to
"get even." One House member who
was on the wrong side of the fence, so
far as the speakers election was con-
cerned, recently had a guest who was
quietly seated beside him elected from
the House floor and this guest was a

evenly where there is a current of
moderately warm air. When dry, the
nap may be raised by brushing with a
clean, stiff whisk broom or hand cards.
The warmth of a blanket dependents
largely on the amount of nap.
The washed blankets are ready to
store when thoroughly dry. Any tight
box or container may be used. Para

SuSQuehanna Indians

The Susquehanna Indians were a
tribe of the Iroquoian stock, liv-

driven out of their former home
about 1916 by the Iroquois, and they
merged with other tribes, principal
ly with the Meherrins.

Black Gopher Called
"Jeep" by Capturers

Granite Falls-If you are follower
of Popeye'S troubles you are perfectly
familiar with the word 'Jeep" even if
the animal itself has you somewhat
puzzled. However, Bill Fruin and Ber-
nard Aaue solved the question to their
own satisfaction by capturing what they
are sure is a "jeep" near the Prostegard
farm in Minnesota Falls township. It's
capture was no small matter and took
something like four days together with
untold quantities of water. AS exhibited
by the capturers in wire covered box,
the "jeep' has all the earmarks of a
gopher except that his color is a solid
black-and who ever heard of black
gopher.

for the aerial conquest of the globe.
1t marks the first step in the final
phase of the campaign for round-the-
world air travel - the establishment
of scheduled service across the last
great ocean of the world.
The New York Bermuda run brings
foreign airline for the first time to
the shores of the United States and
gives Americans chance to make
side-by-s side comparison of our COM
mercial aviation development with
that of Europe.
Many already are familiar with
Imperial Always service abroad and
know that the British company is
rated as one of the best foreign air
lines. But few have seen the new Short
four r-engined Empire" flying boats of
the type used between New York and
Bermuda - the latest and fastest
British plane of its kind yet built -
or had chance to compare them with
the generally similar Sikorsky Clipper
which Pan American is using on this
route. 1t was such Sikorsky that
pioneered the air route from California
to the Orient.

HERE have been perennial pre-
dictions of regular airplane ser
vice across the Atlantic ever
since the Navy flying boat
NC-4 achieved the first aerial ocean
crossing in 1919, to be followed quickly
, by the spectacular nonstop flight of
Alcock and Brown from Newfoundland
to Ireland. Now at last world grown
weary and sceptical of these promises
is witnessing the initial stage of their
fulfillment "a New York Bermuda
service - as years Of preparation come
to head and heavier-than-ai avia-
ton takes its first business-like bite of
the tough North Atlantic.
Actual realization of the dream
seems bewilderingly swift because of
the years it has been kept dangling in
prospect. Scarcely month of survey
and test flights and now scheduled,
semi-weekly trips. with passengers
who formerly made the 78O-mile voy-
age in two days by boat being enticed
to Fly to Bermuda for lunch" in FIVE
and-a-half hours!
The first piece of the Atlantic"
as the operating companies - our own
Pan American Arways and Great
Britain's Imperial Always call their
alternating schedule service in antici-
patton of future fights all the way to
Europe, is a relatively simple flying
job, comparable to the New York
Chicago run which three domestic air
lines have been making for some time
on a nonstop basis.
The remainder of the Atlantic will
not be so simple, though the distances
involved are not so great as those be-
jng flown by Pan American on the
Pacific. Both companies will establish
experimental services across it this
summer, tying them in with the Ber-
muda run on a so-called southern
route to the Azores and Europe when
cold weather comes: but they admit
that passenger service over the whole
Atlantic is at least a year away, pos
sibly longer.
However, the New York Bermuda
service definitely sets up new frontier
in commercial aviation's tireless drive
Evening star., 1937-07-04
Want to Fly the Atlantic?

The British New York Bermuda
plane, christened the Cavalier" has
a top speed of about 200 miles an hour
as compared to 100 for the Sikorsky
Bermuda Clipper" But probably the
most interesting comparison between
the two craft is that the American ship
carries twenty four passengers to the
British planes twelve. And this de-
spite the fact that each has roughly
the same horsepower. Yet the
Empire" flying boats were brought
out after the original Sikorsky Clip
pers we're already in service.
The British have had little ocean
flying experience and view the
Bermuda New York run as valuable
training ground. For Pan American
oceans hold no novelty. In addition to
its Pacific record, which includes we'll
over hundred crossings of the worlds
greatest ocean without single mis-
hap, it has made more than 1900
flights across the Caribbean since the
opening of its Jamaica-Colombia route
in 1881.
That 6OO-mile run is comparable to
the New York Bermuda hop, so the
new Atlantic service means nothing
more to the American company than
transferring a ship and providing the
necessary ground facilities.
A complete flying boat base was
constructed by the British some time
ago on Darrell's Island in Hamilton
Harbor, Bermuda. This is being used
by the American company, which is
supplying similar accommodations for
the British at its temporary Port
Washington base on Long Island. Pan
American also has arranged for even
tual terminal facilities at Baltimore
and Charleston, S. c., for use when
weather forbids operating direct into
New York. These facilities will be
shared with Imperial Always and
other foreign operators who will furnish
similar service to Pan American IN
their respective countries.
The first piece of the Atlantic is
an accomplished fact; and before long
passengers who want to fly all the way
across may have their wishes gratified.
