Pedestrian Faults

HE National Safety council has
charged pedestrians with a
large share of the responsibility
for traffic accidents that killed &c.
500 persons in 1887. Of this total
15,400 were pedestrians.
In Accident Facts" a statisti-
cal review of 1887, the council
said: MANY pedestrians show ut
ter lack of caution in their use of
streets and highways. Combined
state reports for 1887 show that in
81 per cent of all fatal pedestrian
accidents the pedestrian either
was violating a traffic law or was
acting in an obviously unsafe man.
ner. In non-fatal accidents pedes-
trian faults appeared in SO per
cent of the cases."
The council described such
things as jay-walking, failure to
observe traffic lights, drunken
walking, walking with instead Of
against traffic on rural highways,
crossing streets in the middle of a
block as pedestrian faults"

When hexoses are heated with di-
lutte acids, says writer in the Chi
cago Tribune, extensive decomposi-
ton takes place, with the formation
of caramel and various organic
acids. Similar treatment applied
to pentoses results in the formation
of a large amount of furfural, a
clear, water-insoluble liquid with a
characteristic pungent odor.
Furfural, different from all other
cheaply produced organic COM
pounds, has its most important use
in the refining of petroleum lubri-
cants. Furfural is one of those COM
pounds that do not dissolve in
the oil but are capable of washing
out from it large part of the tarry
materials that detract from its
lubricating properties.

Most types of plant matter con-
tain large amounts of cellulose. Gel
lulose, as well as starch, is formed
by the linking together of large num-
bers of molecules of certain sugars
known as hexoses. The hexose sug-
ars, which include all of the
familiar sugars, are characterized
by the fact that they contain a
string of six carbon atoms in their
molecules.
Corncobs, grain hulls and straw,
and bagasse (dried sugar cane
stalks) contain in addition a class
of compounds known as pentosans.
Pentosans are also built up from
a large number of sugar mole
cules, but of a type known as PEN
toses, containing five instead of six
carbon atoms.

Refreshing Beverages

The refreshing beverages in
clude fruit juices, fruitades and
carbonated drinks, such as ginger
ale and sarsaparilla. They are eff
fective in quenching thirst and
their appetizing fiavors encourage
the drinking of generous amounts
of water. They also contribute
energy values to the diet in pro-
portion to the amount of sweeten-
ing used in their preparation.
Fruit juices are most frequently
served as an appetizer at break
fast, lunch or dinner. Fruitades
are useful as between-meal drinks
and when entertaining. Children
like to display their hospitality to
friends and this type of beverage,
served with a few crackers or
simple cookies, makes an attrac-
tive snack.
Mothers will find it convenient
and economical to utilize for this
purpose beverage crystals which
come in variety of fruit favors.
These make wholesome, refresh
ing beverages at a minimum cost;

FORTUNATE indeed is the bride
to-be who is planning lovely
spring wedding, in that fashion is
not setting down arbitrary rules in
the matter of bridal array but rath-
er is encouraging fancy-free indi-
vidual choices.
This departure from stereotyped
traditional dress is particularly evil
denced in the matter of color. The
prospective bride who has secretly
cherished the idea of an eye-appeal-
ing subtle tint for her nuptial gown
and veil instead of traditional white,
will have the Joy of finding that
dreams do come true.
A very successful color technique
on the part of designers robes the
bride and her maids in the same
color or, as the case may be, in
different intensity of the same color.
A suggestion along this line is pale
pink satin for the wedding gown
with bridesmaids bouffant dresses
of SheereSt net in trif1e deeper
tone. The bride either wears white
orchids or carries roses in the pink
of her gown, while the attendants
flowers are of deeper hue.
AS to the styling of the gowns,
sentiment runs high in favor of full
skirted types with quaint, fitted bod
ices or hiplength basque effects.
There is a pronounced flair this
spring for exquisitely sheer weaves
for both bride and maids, such as
marquisette, mousseline de sole, or
nets of sheerest type.
AS to lace for the wedding gown
it is ever a favorite the more so

lace is so general throughout all

Guard Acainsf Staleness

The subject of coffee has been
investigated from many angles by
competent scientists, whose find
ings should be of interest TO home
makers. The flavor and aroma of
coffee are derived chiefly from a
volatile oil, which is developed
during the roasting process. But
it has been established that this
substance is rapidly lost from the
coffee upon exposure to air. More
over, each pound of coffee con-
tains about two ounces of fixed oil
which may become rancid in the
presence of air. These changes
occur whether the coffee is ground
or in the bean.
Since stale, fiavorleSs coffee
may have an adverse effect upon
appetite, it is important to buy a
product that is protected against
the air, or to choose one that is
freshly roasted. The homemaker
should also buy coffee in small
quantities so that it can be used
up quickly once it is opened. After
the coffee has been made, there
may be further escape of its
flavor and fragrance with both
heat and steam. That is why cof-
fee should not be allowed to stand,
but should be served the moment
it is made, and why it should not
be reheated.
Tea also deteriorates when it is
stored for long periods. It should
therefore be bought in small guam
titles and kept in alright con-
tainers.
