Kellino, who produced and directed
the picture: his wife, Pamela, and
James Mason, the latter authors of
the script and the films principal
actors.
'I Met a Murderer" obviously was
picture made on shoe string,
and 1t turns out to be one of its
major virtues that it was. There
was no money to build expensive
sets or hire even inexpensive actors.
The job was taken to the outdoors,
a peaceful countryside which con-
trasts with and marvelously height
ems the effect of tingling, tragic
story. Mrs. Kellino and Mason are
not mere actors in the principal
parts, they are creators with a deep
and wonderful feeling for their
creation. Their extraordinary SEN
sitiveness to the implications of
that almost justifiable killing is
large element in the pictures dra-
matte potency.

The brooding, tragic beauty that

opens on scenes of English country
life, the little life of an impoverished
farmer who loves the good earth
and wants only to live with it. He
is cursed with a vile-tempered
nagging wife who hates the country,
her husband and life itself. When
she shoots his beloved dog, he shoots
her and the hunt is on.
No standard chase is this one in
which the quarry is picked up by
a emi-attractive, brunette author
Of penny dreadful tales. Her origi-

Mans New Lake

Soon the Isl miles of the upper
Columbia river from the dam at
Grand Coulee to the Canadian
boundary will be the third largest
reservoir of water in the United
States. Behind the dam maxi
mum of 9,517,000 acre feet of water
can be stored. During this years
freshets the lake created by the dam
extended approximately 100 miles,
with 2,590,000 acre feet irnpounded.
The effect of this man-made lake
on the Inland Empire is going to be
interesting to behold. Besides sup
plying the energy to generate a
large amount of electricity at the
dam, adequate water for irrigating
hundreds of thousands of acres will
be available. But in addition, the
presence of a constant body of wa
ter ISL miles in length should have
some effect upon the climate in the
immediate region.

Telephone Engineers Find
More Economical Method
For Insulating Wires

Il has often been said that the
simplest solution to a problem is often
the hardest to find because it IL 30
easily overlooked. This is true in the
telephone industry as proven by the
little story behind the efforts of tele-
phone scientists to produce an
economical means Of insulating wires
with paper in telephone cables.
A group of Western Electric
engineers were one day discussing how
they could keep down the cost of this
paper insulation. One of them had an
idea.
"Why not" he said, "make the
paper right on the wire?"
Several of his associates smiled at
this suggestion, but the Western Elec-
trio engineer took a bottle, filled it
with wood pulp solution and stirred
a bright new wire in it. Sure enough,
the pulp stuck. Thus began a new
and revolutionary process of wire
insulation better than the old process
of wrapping each wire with spiral
paper ribbons.

Homogenized Milk

Homogenized milk has been hailed
as the greatest advance in milk
processing since pasteurization.
It is milk in which the butterfat
and other solids are broken up by
$500 to 5000 pounds pressure at 100
degrees temperature, and is more
easily digested because the break
ing up Of the solids prevents the
formation of large curds in the stom-
ach.
The homogenization process re-
moves the cream line-but not the
cream. Both regular and A grade
milk are to be processed.
Marketing was delayed at the in
stance of leading milk companies to
allow time for a thorough study Of
value, uses and manufacturing de-
tails.
This included a study by DR..
Irving j. Wohlman in cooperation
with Children's hospital and various
feeding clinics in the use of the
homogenized milk, and experiments
in making of formulas without the
boiling, filtering and cooling proc
esses used with ordinary milk.

People of Darien

Much has been heard but very
little really known about the people
and country of Darien province in
Panama.
Darien starts at the Gulf of San
Miguel and follows the rugged Pa
cific coastline to the Colombian bor-
der.
There are two tribes of Indians
living in this district, the Cuna and
Chocoi. Both are friendly.
These people hunt with spears,
bows and arrows, antiquated shot
guns and rifles. But for fishing they
use hook and line and many barbed
spears. Their homes are built to
10 feet above the ground and are
rooted with palm fronds, the sides
being left open. Sometimes as many
as Is members of one family occupy
a single house.

MAKE USE OF MARYLAND
PEACHES

Under the defense program Amer
lean housewives are being urged to
can as many fruits and vegetables as
possible in order to conserve tin, re-
lease canned food for the Allies, re-
lieve the shortage of other canned
goods, and provide for the family
health.
According to Miss Margaret Nc
Pheeters, Specialist in Nutrition for
the University of Maryland Exten-
sion Service, there is no better food
than peaches for this purpose and
the crop will be at it's height in
Maryland in a few weeks.
Every indication points to large
crop of Maryland peaches and fair
price this year, Miss McPheeters
says, and she urges Maryland house,
wives to take advantage of this fact.
Peaches are suitable for cakes,
pies, salads, preserves, pickles,
marmalades, paste and butter.
She recommends the following as
a good peach marmalade recipe:
Use y pound or " cups of sugar
to every pound or quart of peaches.
A slice of lemon may be used, If de-
sired, and " stick of cinnamon and
small piece of ginger root.
The peaches should be sugared
down, covered, and allowed to stand
several hours or over night in cool
place. Add the lemon, ginger and
cinnamon and heat gently to boiling.
Stir occasionally to dissovle the
sugar and prevent burning. Boil
rapidly until the fruit is tender and
the syrup gives a jelly test. Then
pour into hot, sterilized jars, seal,
label and store in a cool-dry place.

DAIRY HERD REPORT FOR
MONTH OF JULY

It looks as II Lloyd Balderston is
trying to make a habit, q good one
at that however, of being top man in
the County with his herd of Guern-
seys. This was his third consecutive
month at the head of the list with
warm month like July. Next among
the leaders was Guy McGrady. 1t
seems that the .McGrady name is
another pace setter, his herd aver
aged 673 lbs. milk, 32.4 lbs. fat.
The herd of Peter Zeitler reappears
with an average of 635 lbs. milk,
31.0 lbs. fat. We have two new-com-
ers that make up the remainder of
the top FIVE. The herd owned by
Jack Scott averaged 621 lbs. milk
30.3 lbs. fat; and Holly Halls herd
made $50 lbs. milk, 1917 lbs. fat.
We regret the fact that the herd
managed by Ding Dong Bell missed
5th place by a fraction. Maybe 1t
would help If Ding Dong would be
on hand for night milking instead
of putting time in at Colora. How
ever, Mt. Harmon did take four out
of ten places with the leading cows,
being surpassed for high COW only
by H. B. Crowgey, who's COW 16B
made 1856 lbs. milk, 7O.5 lbs fat.
Balls fast footed Apreshire then
followed with No. having 1899
lbs. milk, and 64.6 lbs. fat; No. 80
made 1887 lbs. milk, cas- lbs. fat;

milk, 60.4 lbs. fat; and No. 65 one
notch lower with 1890 lbs. milk,
6O.4 lbs. fat. Eunice in the 4th place
from the herd of John Scott made
1243 lbs. milk, 634 lbs. fat. The Nc
Grady family placed with Countess
belonging to Ennis McGrady in 9Th
place with 1O49 lbs. milk, 61.S lbs.
fat; and Lou from Guy McGrady's
herd made 1889 lbs. milk, 59.7 lbs.
fat. In 10th place was Brownie from
the herd of Everett England, making
735 lbs. milk and 57.3 lbs. fat.
Things seen thru the County were:
several combines at work, also jap
anese beetles, new mixers, farmers
striving for better bulls and cheaper
milk production. We must also note
that delicious blue berry mullins
were made by Miss Elizabeth Crow
gey, and fluffy, favored chocolate
cake was served by Mrs. Watson of
Piney Creek Farm. Mrs. Craig,
Mount Harmon Farm is tops for

MORE MILK THAN EVER

An all-time recor dior milk pro-
duction on U. S. farms was set for
the first six months of 1941, accord
ing to U. s. Department Of Agricul-
ture records. Production was about
per cent greater than for the flrst
half of 1910 and amounted to nearly
so billion pounds for the half year.
59,813 million this year compared
with 57,084 million pounds last
year, says the Agricultural Market
ing Service.
The first half of the year, includ-
ing the high producing months OF
May and June, usually accounts for
a little more than half the annual
production. For the years 1895 to
1889 the average for the first six
months was nearly "a billion pounds
and for the last half of the year just
under 81 billion pounds. With ris-
ing home consumption and defense
demands calling for special effort to
increase dairy products, with ample
grain for feeding, and with unusual
ly high prices for dairy products, the
dairy specialists are hoping that the
second half of the year will come
closer than. usual to eQualing the
first six months, so that the full
year will be even more of q record
breaker.

Tube win Aid Television

An invention which may revolu-

mass production of small, cheap
cathode ray tubes, to be used in a
multiple arrangement for the pro-
lection of large image instead Of
the present method Of a single ex-
pensive cathode tube, was disclosed
in New York city recently.
The invention, by ingenious elec-
trical circuits, provides that each
small cathode ray tube in turn scan
only a small section of q large
screen. Such cathode tubes, accord
ing to DR.. Alfred N. Goldsmith, the
inventor, may be made almost as
simply as the ordinary home elec-
tric Illuminating lamp, once the in
dustry swings into large production,
and costs might be lowered consid-
erably.

NATIONAL DAIRY SHOW WIN.
NER TO CECIL COUNTY FAIR

A winner of five firsts and three
junior championships in 1910,
Broadview Fearless Knight, owned
by Marshall Wilson and Son, Bel
Air, Maryland, will again appear at
the Cecil County Breeders Fair,
September Sc.
"Knight" won the yearling bull
class at Fair Hill last September and
he was also first at the Maryland
State Fair, the Hartford County Fair
and the National Dairy Show. This
outstanding fellow will make fine
addition to the guernsey show which
will be participated in by many
other fine cattle that will go direct
ly to Fair Hill from the State Fair
at Timonium.
The feature of the first day of the
fair, September 9Th, will be the
horse show which begins at $50.
Mr.. Dean Bedford, Monkton, Mary
land, and Mr.. Thomas Clark of West
Chester, Pennsylvania, have been
invited to judge the various classes.
The Premium List provides for
colts, both draft and half-breeds,
yearlings and two year olds in the
draft horse department, and light
horses, after which the pulling con-
test will take place. Pulling Contests
have become very popular in Mary
land with better teams being put to
the dynamometer each year.
With the great variety of classes
for horses and ponies, the opening
day of the Cecil County Fair should
provide plenty of interest. The big
show however, will be Saturday,
September 9Th, when the several
hundred head of excellent dairy
cattle will be paraded in the spac-
ious show ring during the morning.
In the afternoon the Foxcatchers
Steeplechase will be run over the ma
tion's most difficult race course as
the closing event of the program.

SMALL MARYLAND WHEAT
FARMS

| The wheat producer who grows
only a small amount Of wheat Ia not
affected by the wheat marketing
quota, according to r. o. Stelzer,
Executive Officer for the AAA in
Maryland. This question, he said,
has been raised. by "a number Of
Maryland growers.
The law sets up production and
acreage standards to specify the
size of the farms exempted. Under
these provisions quotas do not ap-
ply to farms on which seeded acre
age Is Is acres or less. Neither do
they apply to farms on which the
normal production of the seeded
acrege is less than 200 bushels.
In explanation, MR.. Stelzer point
ed out that a farmer might have as
much as Is acres of wheat this year
and raise 80 bushels am acre without
being subject to quotas. Or, ON the
other hand, he might have 20 acres
of wheat with a normal yield of 8
bushels per acre giving him nor
NAL production of 1SO bushels. In
either case there would be no excess
wheat ON the farm; and marketing
cards, which must be obtained from
the county AAA office, would be is
sued to anyone having an interest
in the wheat and wishing to market
it.
when Congress drafted the
quota program as a means of meet
ing the surplus problem, MIR. Stel-
ger said, "it recognized the fact
that, in general, the small wheat
farm markets little or no wheat and
makes Ia correspondingly small con-
tribution to the surplus problem.
For farms affected by the quota,
the provisions permit marketing of
all wheat produced on the farm
acreage allotment plus any old
wheat carried over from previous
crops. Only the normal or actual
production, whichever is smaller, of
the acreage in excess of the allot-
ment is subject to the marketing
penalty of 40 cents per bushel.
Producers who have such excess
wheat may avoid or postpone pay
ment of the penalty by storing the
excess under bond, or by placing
warehouse receipts for the excess or
cash equal to the penalty in escrow
with the county committee. Or, the
farmer may, If he chooses, turn the
excess wheat over to the county AAA
committee for the Government, in
accordance with instructions from
the committee.

Cats Have Appreciation
OF Music: Accomplished

Did you know that a king once
made a special decree to fix the
price on cats? He did. This was
Howell the Good, king of Wales in
the zoos. A kitten, he said, before
it could see should cost a penny;
before it had caught a mouse, two
pence; and after that, four pence, a
great sum in those days. But-the
animal must be perfect in hearing
and sight; a good mouser with
whole claws; and, if female, care
full nurse. If he failed in any of
these conditions, the seller must
refund a third of the purchase
money.
But the cat is accomplished as
well as good for catching mice. It
can sing. Perhaps you don't admire
its song but, unlike the dog, the cat
has an appreciation Of music that
can be trained to a high degree.
Cats like to walk up and down the
piano keys, listening to the notes.
And don't you ever think that cats
can't count! A mother cat, check
ing over her kittens, known in
stantly if one is missing.
And cats can talk, in meows as
eloquent as words. One very cold
night, someone had left the window
open in the kitchen where a cat
and her small kittens were sleeping.
The cat went to the mistress bed
and meowed so piteous1y that the
woman went to the kitchen and
sclosed the window.
