Raisin Flavor Observed
First by the Egyptians

The early Egyptians first discov-
cred the flavor of raisins. A few
scattered punches of grapes were
left on the vines at harvest time.
The concentration of grape sugars
provided a new fruit. In the First
century, Asia Minor became the
center of production; by 1900 A. D.,
Spain and Hungary were chief mar
kets, and Greece competed. But in
the Twentieth century, Americas
California, in the San Joaquin val
ley, with an average production Of
over 100000 tons annually, became
the world market.
1t was early in 1884, writes Kirtley
Scott in the Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal, that a cargo of raisins was
brought around the Horn into Cali
fornia from Boston and sold at a
high price. 1t was the inception,
this 220-pound shipment of grapes
dried on the vine, for a giant in
dustry which markets 400,000,000
pounds of a single product.
The modern raisin industry began
in 1851 when Colonel Agostin Her.
nazthy imported some Muscats of
Alexandria from Malaga in Spain
and planted them on his San Diego
ranch. Ten years later, the COVER
nor of the state sent a commits
sion to Europe to select the best
varieties of grapes obtainable there.

Great Variety of Products
Taken From Common Salt

Out of the salt one uses to flavor
his food chemists make a great va
riety of products. Among these is
a refrigerant used in preserving
foods and cleaning solvents which
remove dirt, grease and spots from
clothing with the greatest of ease.
Chlorine is also made from salt.
1t is widely used to safeguard the
purity of water in municipal sys-
TENS and in swimming pools, as
we'll as for bleaching paper and
textiles. Another product of salt is
sodium peroxide which is used to
bleach all kinds of textile fbres,
particularly cotton. Sodium perbo-
rate, which is beneficial Ingredient
of tooth powders and mouth washes,
is also derived from salt.

There May Be Many Reasons for
Making Quilted Chair Pads.

II ALL the reasons for quilted
chair pads were lined up in or
der of their Importance the most
intangible reason of all might head
the list. Yes, it is quite likely
that any decorator, amateur or
professional would place atmos-
phere at the top. But then it is
also possible that first rating
might be given to the reason that
the pressure of Stats across the
backs of chairs is softened by
quilted pads. Then, though it
might not be mentioned, it is a
known fact that worn out cane
seats are sometimes replaced
with inexpensive composition
seats which may be disguised by
gay quilted pads.
Chintz, calico or gingham chair
pads are in fact one of the SIM
plest and most inexpensive ways
of adding color and charm as we'll
as comfort to a room. Such pads
are often used on the backs of
chairs and not on the seats, and
especially for side chairs, the seat
pads used without any back COW
ering. In making such small
things as these it is quite easy to
do the quilting on the machine.
Or, if you wish to take the other
point of view about it, the work of
quilting them by hand would not
consume an unreasonable amount
of time. There is no doubt that
handwork has a certain quaint
ness that machine work lacks.
The pads shown here are made
with one layer of. sheet wadding
between the two layers of the
chintz. The edge bindings and ties
are made of bias tape. Cut the
three layers of the pad material
exactly the size and shape you
want them to be when finished.
Place the sheet wadding between
the two layers of covering mate
rial as shown here at A. Either
pin or haste in this position, and
then quilt as shown here at B.
Make the ties by stitching the
lengthwise edges of the bias tape
together, and then tack them to
the corners of the pad as at c be-
fore it is bound. Now, bind the
edges, sewing the ties right in with

DR.. Barr's position is that human

bring him up to the present.
The reading will be supplemented
by lectures, seminars and laboratory
work. In the laboratories students
will repeat the great classical experi-
ments-such as that Of Galileo in
dropping two weights from the tower
OF Pisa. A decided innovation is the
mathematics laboratory, where the
students will repeat with their own
hands the various steps by which
the human race has learned to make

Only One Show of Force.
The President knows that with our
Navy's present striking power, should
the country be compelled to adopt
an active policy, the risks of war would
be less than they might be at a less
opportune time. Fear of an armed
conflict which prevails in the demo-
cratic countries has encouraged the
dictators to increase their aggressive
ness during the last IL months. Only
once have the great powers made a
show of force: At the conference of
Nyon Great Britain and France de-
cided to send their naval forces to
meet the pirate submarine campaign
in the Mediterranean. The submarine
attacks ceased.
The administration in Washington
believes that a show of force might
have salutary effect. But so far
fearing the reaction of the people, Mr.
Roosevelt and Secretary Hull have con-
fined their activities to speeches and
statements in order to sound out
public opinion.
In Chicago, on October S, the Presi-
den used the words quarantine" with
particular emphasis. He still uses it in
his private talks. But whether he will
apply it-by imposing blockade o1
Japan, If necessary-to curb the ag.
gressiveness of the totalitarian states
is not yet determined.
The people of the United States may
soon have to face squarely the ques.
ton: do you wish to bow before the
rising tide of Fascism-before the
domination Of relationships? Or dc
you wish to demonstrate. by show o1
force, that love for peace does no,
mean physical weakness and at the
same time that our economic interests
will be protected?"

us that he had always supposed Mills
foundry was in the District of Co.

"6. We drove out to the vicinity
OF Mills avenue, off the Bladensburs
road. in the District of Columbia.
There old residents declared that un-
queStionably the Mills foundry had
been in the District of Columbia One
elderly gentleman recalled having met
Clark Mills himself. We learned that
Mrs. Ada (Mills) Payne, grand
daughter of the sculptor, was at pres
ent living in Washington.
II. In telephone communication
with Mrs. Payne we received SEEM
1ngly irrefutable evidence that the
foundry had been in the District of
Columbia; that Clark Mills never had
a foundry in Maryland.
THE National Geographic Society
regrets exceedingly that through its
magazine it has served to perpetuate
an error that has been handed down
the years by usually reliable authors.
1t is hoped that an occasion may
arise in the future when the error
can be corrected"
Mills avenue corresponds to what
would be Twenty-first street NE. in
this neighborhood. 1t begins at Rhode
Island avenue and runs southeasterly
to the main line of the B. g. o. Rail-
road. Evidently it was named for
Clark Mills. The location of his
bronze foundry is near where the
building of the Pathfinder Publishing
Co. now stands. Forms used by Clark
Mills for casting statues were un-
earthed when digging the foundation
for Pathfinder Building, SO I was told
by the superintendent of that COM
pany; he told me also that the bricks
used in Clark Mills foundry were
used for the foundation of Langdon
M. E. Church, not far away.
should judge that the Clark Mills
foundry was q good half-mile inside
the District line. He cast two statues
Of Andrew Jackson Zone in Lafayette
Park, across from the White House,
and one in New Orleans, the statue
Of Washington in Washington Circle
and the statue Of Freedom atop the
dome of the Capitol.
I urge especially that the error be
corrected as soon as possible through
the columns of The Star and that
you will use your good influence to
have a historical marker placed soon,
SO that the perpetuated error may
be corrected by a visible tablet that
will show that the District of Co.
lumbia is entitled to all the honors
that this self-taught genius, Clark
Mills, bestowed upon it by roing his
greatest work here.
