Homogenizing Milk

Homogenizing, with reference to
milk, means to break up the fat
globules and make milk and cream
more uniform in composition. There
is machine, called a homogeniz-
er, which does this by forcing the
milk and cream under a pressure of
1000 to 5000 pounds through vari-
Gus openings. After the milk and
cream have gone through the ma
chine the fat globules are separated
from the milk serum and rise to the
top. In modern milk, homogeniza-
ton is used in the preparation of
sweet milk and cream. Cream that
has been homogenized is of
smooth and uniform body. The fat
does not separate later and the
cream appears to be of a higher
bodily fat content than it really is.
Homogenization is also used in the
manufacture of butter, chocolate
milk and ice cream.

Superstition Mountain

The name Superstition mountain
is given to a peak east of Phoenix,
Ariz., because of the Indian legends
surrounding it, writes a correspond
ent to the Detroit News. One of
these stories relates to a great flood,
similar to that given in the Bible.
A Dutchman's mine there was for
merly owned by a Spanish ranch
man in Sonora, Mexico. Jacob Walz,
known as "Snowbeard the Dutch
man." murdered three Of the Span
iard's heirs and stole the mine. He
worked it alone for 10 years or so
and then revealed its secret site to
his nephew, whom he afterward
killed. Other persons, to the num-
Der of eight, were shot while trying
to find it. He died in 1892 without
revealing the mines location. A
bronze tablet marks "Snowbeard's"
grave on the mountain.

FOG BULLETIN ISSUED

A ''fog bulletin" just issued by
the Keystone Automobile Club con-
tains a seasonal warning motorists
and pedestrians will do well to, heed.
Drivers and walkers are urged to
be on their guard against the perils
of fog-shrouded highways. Only the
utmost care will prevent deaths and
injuries, it is asserted.
Pedestrians" says the bulletin
sent out by George e. Keneipp,
Manager of the Club, should be ex-
tremely cautious when walking
along highways obscured by fog,
because their presence can be noted
by drivers only under the most ex-
ceptional circumstances.
Those afoot can see the lights
of approaching cars and should gov
ern their actions accordingly. They
should realize that the lights are
of little value to motorists In dis
corning objects on the highway. In
fact the principal value of light on
vehicles in time of fog is to warn
of vehicles approach.
1--WE cannot be too emphatic In
urging motorists to drive slowly IN
der adverse weather conditions.

TREE A MINUTE Is AVERAGE
FIELD WINDBREAK
PLANTING

Men in WPA crews planting field
windbreaks in the Prairie States
frestry project averaged more than
tree minute each during the past
planting season, reports the Forest
Service, United States Department
of Agriculture.
The time spent in going to and
from work, the lunch PERIOD. the
time of two supervisors or attend
ants who help unload young seed
lings and transplants from the
trucks, and time spent in going
from the trucks, and time spent in
going from one strip to another
was included in the calculation.
Some of the more experienced, IA
men crews planted three trees or
shurbs per man every 2 minutes.
The tree-a-minute average was
for the planting of more than A.
100000 trees in $500 miles Of new
windbreaks in 1889. It brought the
total planting since 1885 to more
than 127,000,000 trees in over H.
900 miles of field windbreaks ON
10000 farms in eastern counties of
the Dakotas, central and western
'NeWbraska, central Kansas and
Oklahoma, and the Texas Panhandle.
The Forest Service explained that
a mile Of 10-row windbreak requires
about 10000 trees and shrubs, trees
being planted about feet apart in
the rows and shrubs about feet.
The average crews planted about
three-fourths of mile of such wind
break in a day. The better crews
averaged los trees per hour per
man for the entire day.

Household Illumination
Unchanged in 25.OOO Yrs.

The inventions Of Aimee Argand
and John Miles in the 1780s revolu-
tionized the art of household illumi-
nation. For more than $4,000 years
lamps in various forms had consist
ed of an open or partially closed res
ervoir for oil with wick lying at
the rim or in protruding spout,
writes Howard G. Hubbard in
American Collector. They gave
poor light, spilled oil abominably,
and cast an annoying shadow on
the side away from the flame.
All three of these fundamental
faults were overcome almost at a
stroke by the vertical wick and
closed reservoir Of Argand and
Miles. There were left many prob
lens of refinement and, as often
happens with epochal inventions, at
least one new problem was created.
The earlier lamps, with flame near
the fuel, could use either expensive
oils or waste kitchen greases. The
latter would not work in the new
lamps, which utilized whale, sperm,
fish and vegetable oils. Here, then,
was the new problem: a lamp with
the advantages of vertical wick and
closed reservoir and the ability to
burn inexpensive greases.
We have meager evidence that in
ventors on both sides of the Atlantic
went to work on this problem al
most at once. Perhaps the first to
succeed was John Love of South
Carolina. He took out a United
States patent in 1898 for "tallow
lamp" but this bare title is the sum
total of our present knowledge re-
garding it. Proof that clamp for
burning lard" was invented in this
country previous to 1910 is contained
in statement made by Thomas P.
Jones, M. D., editor of the Journal
of the Franklin Institute and, pre-
vious to that appointment, superin-
tendent of the patent Office.

THE NEW SOCIAL SECURITY Acr
Chapter w
Wage Credits of Older Workers

Before the Social Security Act was
amended, wages earned by a work
er after he had become IS did not
count toward benefits. Under the
amended act, this "stop-date" at age
IS has been removed, SO that a
worker may continue to build up
his social security account as long
as he remains in employment cover
ed by the system. 7!
The worker who was SIS or; more
when the act first went into. effect
can now establish wage record
and receive credit, thereon, for all
wages paid to him in covered en-
ployment since 1898. In other words,
the change with regard to workers
past IS years of age became effec-
tive as of January i, 1889. Begin
ming with that date, wages received
in covered employment count to-
ward insurance benefits regardless
of the age of the worker. That is
why employees over SIS years Of age
are now getting social security ac-
count numbers.
This change in the law with re-
spect to older workers is summarize
ed below.
The statements apply only to jobs
that are covered by the act.
1. A wage Garner who reached
age IS after 1885 and before
1889, will count toward his bene-
fits, all wages he was paid after
1886 and before his 65th birth
day, plus all wages he was paid
after 1888, regardless of age.
2. A wage Garner who reaches IS
at any time during the year 1889
or thereafter, can count toward
benefits all the wages he received
since the original act went into
effect which was January 1, 1887.
3. A wage Garner who was IS
years old before January 1, 1897,
will count toward his benefits only
the wages paid to him after
1888.

Ohio Limestone Cavern
Has Puzzling Formation

The Blue Hole of Castalia, Ohio,
is somewhat of a puzzle to scientists.
This interesting natural phenome-
non is located in a limestone region,
and limestone areas are always
marked with water-made caverns,
subterranean streams and similar
peculiarities. The Blue Hole is
place where such a subterranean
stream springs suddenly to the sur
face and runs for the remainder of
its course above ground. The
sources Of the streams in this area
are in land which, to the south of
Castalia, has an elevation of 700
feet and more above sea level. The
elevation at the Blue Hole is $50
feet; that of Lake Erie is 572 feet.
The stream which issues from the
Blue Hole and descends so rapidly
to the lake three miles away is
called Cold creek. ''In its natural
channel" says Henry Howe's Ohio
History, ''this creek ran through
place Of prairie covering several
hundred acres into a quagmire and
'muskrat garden It now runs near
ly its whole length through an arti-
fetal channel.
'"The constituents Of the water are
lime, soda, magnesia and iron, and
1t petrifies all objects, as grass,
stumps, moss, etc., which come in
contact with it. The water is very
cold but never freezes, and at its
point of entrance to the lake pre-
vents the formation there of ice; it
maintains nearly the same tempera-
ture summer and winter"

Aged Wine

At Friends House in Euston road,
the headquarters of the Quakers in
London, is preserved solitary bot
tie of port which has curious his
tory, reports the Milwaukee Jour-
nal. More than $50 years ago it
was sent into the old Fleet prison
by a sympathizer for the use Of
three Quakers who had been con-
fined for non-payment of tithes. The
trio, however, decided that it should
be preserved, unopened, until the
severance of church and state
should abolish tithes forever. The
time has not arrived so the bottle
remains closely sealed, in compa-
ny with specimens of the broad
brimmed hats of the old Quakers,
the demure poke bonnets of their
womenfolk and other relics of far

Pilots Hit Billion Miles

Airplane pilots licensed by the
commerce department have passed
the billion mark in mileage flown,
according to a study of the depart
ment's records. The records of the
departments aeronautics branch
show all flying time accumulated
by licensed pilots and from these
records it is estimated that these
airmen have flown approximately
l,054, 100000 miles. Flying by those
carried on the records as trans
port pilots, the highest type licensed
by the department, accounted FOR
approximately II twelfths of the to-
tai, the remaining twelfth having
been credited to private. limited
commercial and industrial pilots, in
that order.

Meanings of Colors

Each Of us has preference for
some particular color, but not all Of
us know why. A slight knowledge
of the meaning of color will help
us analyze our likes and dislikes.
It is wise to consider the character
istic properties of individual colors
before we proceed to change the
color combinations in our homes.
Red, for instance, symbolizes vital
ity, energy, power. It is highly
stimulating. Blue signifies tranquil
lily. Psychologically, its influence
is quoting. Yellow symbolizes light,
cheerfulness. Green soothes, yet ex-
hilarates.

Count Your Tricks Retain Control to Protect No Trump
 Contract

Here is a misplayed hand which might be witnessed at almost any bridge game. The usual reaction is that hard luck cost the game. Let's follow the hand, the way 1t would ordinarily be played.
 The opening diamond lead would be won by declarer with the ace, and spade finesse taken. East wins and returns & diamond, declarer holds off, but his last diamond stopper is knocked out by the next lead. Now the declarer plays an- other spade, against illnesses, again East wins. A low club is returned, West wins with the ace, cashes the good diamond, and the contract Is set two tricks.
 Solution t0 Bridge Quiz
 True, you might say 1t is hard luck to find both the king and queen of spades in the East hand, but the line of play is mathemati- cally unsound. Even if only one spade trick were lost, you still can- not count up to game.
 Intead of playing spades at the start, why not develop the clubs immediately? There again you can count only up to eight tricks, but you do not have to give up con- trol so quickly.
 If you lead club at the second trick, East will win and continue diamonds. The declarer will lead clubs and West will have to vii, with the ace and will cash his good

"Often Hated Sight of Food," Y" Saws This Waterbury Lady

Always suffered after meals from gas. sour stomach, acid rtsings, heartburn and other troubles re- sulting from being constipated. Praises Vendol for wonderful reIsef.
 "It,s a wonderful feeling to know you can eat anything that comes on the table and that you won't pay for 1t later with stomach upset" stated Mrs. Cecile Vallerand of 60 E. Clay St., Waterbury, an employe of the Watertown Undergarment Go.
 For the past few years I have been in almost continual distress caused by constipation, and this kept me feeling below par most of the time. I actually hated the sight of food at times and had to force myself to eat to sustain my strength. Even scanty meals disagreed with me and soon after eating so much gas would form that I'd have pains all through my stomach and felt terribly bloated. I'd rift up a hot. sour iiquid with bits of undigested food, and often felt like there was a lump in my throat.
 "This condition also made me so nervous I couldn't sleep well, and every morning I'd get up feeling bilious, tired, and with a humping headache.
 "It wasn't long after I began tak- ing Vendoi and the little Vendol laxative tablets that I got the grandest relief I'd experienced in many a day from constipation, then my digestion improved, and all signs of gas, pains, bloating, sour
