One OF the pleasantest features of
Washington life to me is the soft coal

sphere and sitting musically through my
window screens. 1t reminds me of my
old home among the factories in Edge

BALANCING The BUDGET

Another important rule for the wise shopper to
adopt Is BULK buying. Fancy packages, pretty boxes,
ce1lophane wrapped boxes all add to the price of
commodity Legmes, lie. dried peas, beans, barley,
etc. are much cheaper when bought in bulk. Of course
ements in order to see1 the packaged idea
have impressed the buying public the impo lance
and the need Of tightly sealed packages in order to
maintain health. "Play safe, buy your products in
Chilly sealed packages; kept clean for your potec-
t1onI" And the modem consumer anxious to maintain
proper health standards is inclined to buy the
cy, veil Illustrated package Of dried peas beans and
rice. Simply because the item is contained in light
" sealed packages and the ad says that it is pro-
lection against germs, dirt, etc., does not make it
50, the truth Of the matter is that it may or may
not be germ proof. When the Food and Drug Admin s.
tration makes seizures Of foods which Violate the
Food and Drug Act they very often include foods
wrapped and packaged in tightly sealed packages.
In the case Of prunes, the packages contain pr'mes
to which moisture has been added. In other words
one Doesn't get full pound Of prmaes.
Gelatin, Is another item which is much cheaper if
sold by bulk. And gelatin is gelatin matter what
the ad says, and by the way, gelatin does not give
extra strength or energy in spite Of advertising
pressure.
Macaroni and spaghetti bought loose, by the pound,
shops selling to the world comoisseur Of spaghetti,
sell it in all sorts of shapes, sizes and lengths
but always loose. Of course this is not possible
for al food stores. The next best thing is pound
packages simply wrapped. There may very often be
saving Of high 100 percent this item

FOOD CACHE ! YEARS OLD STILL IN GOOD CONDITION

Mount Mckinley National Park-Food left seven years ago by the Inflated Cosmic Ray Ex- pedition to Mount Mckinley was found in good condition by Park rangers on patrol in Mount Me Kinley National Park, The SUD- plies were part of a cache made near Muldrow Glacier which flows down from Mount McKin- ley.
 In 1882. the University of Chic ago sent out an expedition to study cosmic rays from Mount Mckinley because of the advan- tages of elevation. At the same time the last expedition to at- tain the crest of Mount McKin- ley was in the vicinity. When the mountain climbers, of whmo Al fred Lindley of Minnesota was in charge, were returning they found the frozen body of Theo- dore Koven of the Cosmic Ray Expedition. As a search for Allen Carpe, the other member of the scientists, was unsuccessful, it was concluded Carpe fell into a crevass on Muldrow Glacier and was unable to climb out.
 In his report District Ranger Humohr states We found some of the supplies left by the expedi
 ion of 1882. We used some of the dehydrated milk and potatoes md found the sea food very well preserved.

 Douglas Fairbanks Jr is writ ing this weeks column of Holly wood Star-Lites'' while Chuck Cochard is recuperating from an illness.
 Not long ago 1 was given the opportunity to address the Ele- mentary School Principals divi- sion of the National Education Association. I have no idea why 1 was invited. but I'm tremend- ously glad I made the trip, and the address. I met number of of Americas leading educators, and I learned a number of val uable things.
 I particularly was glad to learn that more and more importance is being put on speech in our elementary schools today. For have discovered in my business of being an actor, and in my trav els that correct speech is of ut most importance.
 Motion pictures of course are rapidly destroying accents, bro- gues and burrs and the like. It wasn't many years ago that the New England twang. the South ern drawl, the Mid-western ac- cent and the far-Western man. ner of speech were almost as diff ferent as an equal number of foreign languages.
 Today all sections of the coun- try are speaking more and more alike. I think this is because of motion pictures. I think too that there isn't as much difference be tween British and American styl es of speaking as there once was. I noticed this particularly during the making of Rulers of the Sea"
 In the cast were Margaret Lockwod. an English girl; Will Fyffe, a Scotch comedian: Geor- ge Bancroft, an American and myself. And I've been accused of having an English accent.

Bellfiower Has Several Names

The tall bellfiower, related to the
bluebell of Scotland, has several
other names, including Canterbury
bells and bluebell. 1t is widely dis
tributed, being found as far north as
Ontario and south to Florida. Re-
lated species, such as the bluebell of
Scotland, are found in Europe.
Plants of the bluebell family are un-
important for medicinal uses or 9TH
er commercial purposes. although
they did find some uses for them in
the old days. Alfred Lord Tenny-
son once wrote that bluebell juice
(from the stems and roots) was a
good remedy for snake bites, RENE
dy that the modern doctor hardly
would USE The juice from the roots
also has been used as a substitute
for starch, and in the days when
stiff rufus were worn bluebell juice
was in much demand for starching
purposes. Since the juice is some
what resinous it was used as book
binders gum in the early days. For
the same reason it was considered
excellent for attaching feathers to
arrows that English archers shot
with their long bows.

Galapagos Group May Have Connected
With the Central American Mainland

Although the y large and several
hundred small islands of the archi-
pelago are almost due west from
the coast of Ecuador, at distance
of 500 miles, the Galapagos group is
believed once to have been connect
ed with the Central American main
land.
The native birds of the islands are
more closely related to Central
American species than to the nearer
South American variety, observes a
! writer in the Kansas City Star.
Equally we'll linked are the shore
fish and the land plants. The near
est relatives of the giant Galapagos
tortoises are found in fossil form in
Cuba.
Discovered by Spanish navigators
in the Sixteenth century, only three
islands ever have been utilized;
these as convict stations. Warships,
pirates, whalers and buccaneers
have visited the isolated group on
occasions, but scientists have been
the most frequent visitors 1t was
at the Galapagos that Charles Oar
win collected much of his data on
the insular finches which helped pro-
duce his famed work on the Origin
of the Species" and the theory of
evolution.
Biologists, in fact, always have
favored the Galapagos because a
great many of its animal and plant
forms are peculiar to the islands
alone. Thus it is estimated that Sc
per cent of the reptiles are unique.
Similarly 81 per cent of all species
of shore fish and 40 per cent of the
plants are characteristic of the is
lands.

pages islands are low, but in the
