The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1941-07-24

The whole murky national atmos-
phere can be cleared and his domestic
foes disarmed by stating with perfect
frankness that unforeseen events have
made the rigid adherence to these
promises dangerous to the United
States; that for the safety of the
country and the success of the course
to which we are committed, it is no
longer wise to be bound by them; that,
therefore, while still hopeful for peace
and anxious not to enter the war, he
must withdraw these promises, so as
not to be handicapped in acting for
the national interests. There is little
doubt that to such statement, made
in the way the President can make it,
the people would Fundamentally re-

aShmgtOn, July 10.
1t is true that as far as he has gone
and he has gone pretty far-the
President has the support of a large
majority Of the people in the foreign
policy he has evolved and in the steps
he has taken to implement that policy.
Every test of public opinion shows
that. The response from press, people
and Congress has been rcassuring and
convincing.

Pennsylvania Turnpike
Without ANY Crossings

Without a single road or railroad
grade corssing, steep climb or sharp
curve, the completely four-lane, CEN
ter-divided l60-mile-long Pennsyl-
vania turnpike opened recently, sets
a new standard of travel.
Tolls are collected al exit points

necessity of using tortuous, slow
routes over the Allegheny noun
tains. The turnpike is unique in
America and comparable only to the
autobahnen super-highways of Ger

Four 12-foot traffic lanes divided
by 1O-foot safety lane extend the
full length between Irwin, 20 miles
southeast of Pittsburgh and Middle

except for the roadbed in seven tun-
nels which has there been narrowed
to two lanes.
Eliminating all traffic lights and
intersections, cloverleaf grade sep
arations, bridges and underpasses
speed the motorist over or under

Largely because of its value for
national defense, more than third
of the S70,050,000 cost of the turn
pike was met with an outright
grant by the Federal Public Works
administration.

Negroes in Army

When the United States army con-
sisted of 35 regiments of combat
troops four of those regiments were
composed of colored troops. Today,
with the number of line regiments
more than tripled, there are still
only iour colored regiments, two of
infantry and two of cavalry.
The Negro regiments have had
honorable combat records in all the
wars in which they have fought Be-
cause of limited economic opportu-
mites in civilian life they never have
trouble recruiting to full strength.
Most of their members are veterans
of several enlistments.
Yet in spite of their record Negroes
are subjected to almost as great
discrimination in the army as they
are in the navy, which accepts them
only as cooks and walters. The Tenth
cavalry is an example Its fighting
record is perhaps the best known
of any colored organization, dating
back to the Indian wars. Today.
and for some years past, the bulk
of the regiment has been split be-
tween West Point and Fort Leaven.

chiefly as grooms and horseholders
for officers and cadets.

BraZilS Dictator

The spotlight is on Brazil and the
undeveloped wealth of Brazil's
mines, forests and fields is a prize
to tempt aggressor nations. But
Brazilians are aware of the danger
of attack and are quietly strength
ening army and navy. Most impOr-
tant, Brazil is fundamentally sup
porting the Good Neighbor" policy
of the Western hemisphere.
Brazil is ruled by a Dictator
President Getulio Vargas-but he
does not follow the pattern of Hitler
and Mussolini. There is no regi-
mentation, no persecution, no mill
tarism in Brazil. Only political
controversies are banned.
Vargas has unlimited power.
Congress has been suspended, polit-
ical parties abolished. The presi-
dent controls army and navy, de-
termines diplomatic, economic and
social courses. Censorship governs
radio and the press.
The dictatorship will end, under
constitution written in 1897, when
the president calls a national pleb-
iscite. But Vargas is benevolent
dictator and Brazil is prospecting
under his guidance.

No More Towel Folding

Did you have an aunt who taught
you to fold your towel neatly be-
fore placing it on the rack? Well, if
you were a child today instead of
too many years ago, you wouldn't
have to 60 through that particular
training. For today, there is a tow
ell rack that does the work for you.
A fiat enamel holder, in various
colors to match your color scheme,
has three fiat holes through the cen
ter. These holes are filled with q
gum rubber holder that will not al
low the towels to fall to the floor
The towels drape in neat fashion
in such a manner as to more rapidly
expose every fold to the air, thus
making for more rapid drying.
To operate this modern towel
holder you need but twirl the towel
about the forefnger, insert it into
the slot in the rubber disc and there
it will remain until removed.

Quality of Tea Depends
On Climatic Conditions

For a product as universally used
and enjoyed as tea, very little is
known as to how and where it is
grown and what makes a good quail
ity tea.
This is largely due, of course, to
the remoteness from this part of the
world of the tea-growing countries,
Ceylon, India, Java, Sumatra, China,
Japan, Formosa and Africa produce
practically all the tea grown.
Tea is raised in these countries in
enormous gardens or on estates
The fact that a healthy young tea
bush 2lz feet high produces only 2l2
ounces of black tea a year gives
an idea of how tremendous these
estates are.
The quality of tea depends first
upon climatic conditions and the ele-
walton at which the estate is located
The ideal weather for growth is
when sunshine and rain alternate.
Such conditions are found at their
best high up on the sides of hills.
Tea grown on estates so situated
is known as high grown" tea and
is of the finest quality. Low
grown" tea originates from estates
planted on the plains and never at
tains the standard of high grown
tea, according to information provid-
ed by a grower known the world
over for fine quality teas.

Wax Find Revives Legend
Of Old Oregon Pirates

An 85-pound chunk of beeswax has
restored to life Indian legends of
Oregon's wrecked beeswax and pi-
rate gold ship, a murdered black
man and swarthy ear ringed sailors.
Recent tides and winds uncovered
the beeswax, the largest piece found
In 70 years. With il were two can
dies, one of gigantic size apparently
designed for use as torch-pos-
slbly IN some Spanish mission.
Historians agree that fact under
hes the legends, passed down from
ancient days before the coming of
the white man, but mystery still
clouds weird happenings on Neah-
Kah-Nie mountain.
Two men have died in the search
for pirate gold The black man,
they insist, was killed to keep SUI
perstitious Indians of adjacent
Manzanita Beach away from the
cache.
The broken hull of an old ship
does lie on a sandspit just beyond
the breakers, as all northwestern
Oregon beach residents know.
The Indians have several stories
of what happened Pieced together
by early white settlers, two distinct
legends remain:
First, that aStounded Indians saw
great ship of teak sail in from the
west only to wreck upon the beach
Thirty dark skinned sailors came
ashore, accompanied by a BLACK
man" They were the first SpecI-
mems of either race the Indians had
seen.
The sailors bore a chest up the
mountain and buried it. While the
Indians watched in amaZement
from hiding places in salal and man
zanita bushes, the huge Negro was
forced to the edge of the hole, killed
and toppled in.
Legend says the white men dis
appeared into the forest, leaving
only strangely marked beach stones
as monuments of their wax which
was washed upon the passing-these
and tons Of beeSWaX.

Romans Wore Straw Hats

Straw hats were first made and
worn by the Romans. But the in
dustry did not grow much until about
the Sixteenth century, when Mary
Queen of Scots, engaged number
of straw plaiters OF Lorraine to re
turn with her to Scotland to instruct
her people in their art. Straw hats
were made by hand until 1870 when
the first hat was machine sewn in
Luton, England. The sulphur and
acid processes were used for cen
turtles to bleach straw. These meth
DDS have been replaced by a proc
ess known as "Monopol" by which
all tones of white, from paper TO
ivory, can be obtained. The hats
are stiffened with gelatine size, and
after drying are blocked into the re
quired shape with the aid of damp
heat and pressure.

Freezing Foods Saves
Time; Vitamin Content

The convenience of buying fresh
frozen vegetables has completely
taken the tedium of washing and
preparing vegetables out of the
kitchen. Vegetables which lose fla
vor and vitamin content rapidly
after harvesting are picked, pre-
pared, blanched and frozen rapidly,
all within a matter of few hours.
Fruits are selected when at the peak
OF ripeness, sugared slightly and
quick-frozen. Fish is taken almost
directly from water to freezer, while
meats are selected with care, cut
and trimmed and frozen quickly. All
this sums up to foods presented to
the housewife at the peak of their
perfection.
Thaw frozen foods or not, as you
wish, before using 1t is not neces-
sary to wait for thawing Just allow
slightly longer time for cooking if
using the products frozen. Thaw
foods by leaving in container at room
temperature, or place in package in
refrigerator. The latter method will
take slightly longer, from 6 to 10
hours. Never refreeze thawed vege-
tables.
Cook frozen vegetables by drop
ping into a very little bit of boiling
water. Cover tightly and cook slow
ly. Rapid boiling of any vegetable,
whether frozen or not, will result in
loss of flavor, color, and vitamin
content The freezing process of
vegetables tends to tenderiZe them.
This reduces the required cooking
time and insureS a greater vitamin
value
Double-boiler methods of cooking
frozen vegetables is the simplest,
and will preserve all possible vita.
min content. Put vegetables in top of
double, boiler, do not add water;
cover, place over boiling water, and
cook until tender. This method will
take longer than boiling, but the food
will not have TO be watched closely
Frozen fresh fruits may be thawed
for use on Shortcakes or to top pud-
dingS; but it is not necessary. Cut
slices of the frozen fruits with a
knife dipped into boiling water, and
lay the slice of fruit on the dessert.
Nice for topping fruit cocktails or
salad, too. If to be used as an ice
cream sauce, thaw the fruit, as sug-
gested previously.

Tough Meat Made Tender,
Bacteria Is DESTROYED

Tough beef can be made as tender
and fresh as new mown hay, scien-
lists say All one needs is a violet
ray machine.
The Food Foundation of Mellon
Institute has announced that fresh
beef, if exposed to ultraviolet rays
for three days, will be as tender as
meat hung in a refrigerating plant
for eight weeks. 1t was only after
years Of experimentation that this
tenderizing process was discovered,
the Food foundation has announced.
Until now the general public won
dered why it could get juicier and
more tender steaks at restaurants
than at home. The reason was that
the better restaurants paid the high
er price for seasoned meat which
the lady of the house would not or
could not pay. Only per cent Of
the meat formerly was hung"
Now it is possible for all meat
TO be treated by ultraviolet ray and
then everyone can buy restaurant
grade meat at comparatively low
price If so, there will be no more
shouting about this tough steak"
by the head of the house when he
starts to carve if.
The new method can be applied
also 10 mutton and TO fowls. for there
is tough mutton and tough chicken
under present conditions and these,
too, can be made more palatable.
Another advantage Of this violet
ray treatment on meat is that if
actually kills any bacteria which
might have been in the beef, the
scientists say. The day may soon
come when the ultraviolet ray
treatment may be enlarged to in
c!ude many other foods in which
the growth of bacteria is suspected
or possible

R. R. Retires Cowboy and
Horse From N. Y. Streets

For many years, visitors to New
York have been startled TO see
freight trains running on one street
of the nations largest city. They
have been flabbergasted even more
to see each such train preceded by
a curious figure aStrde horse,
decked in a ten-gallon hat and wav-
ing a red flag Cor a red lantern
if the sun had set).
What they saw was Tenth ave
nue. cowboy fulfilling an 1850 law
which permitted the New York Cen
trail to run freight trains on the
open street along that thoroughfare,
provided they travelled not more
than six miles an hour and en-
ployed "a proper person to precede
the trains on horseback, TO give the
necessary warning in suitable
manner of their approach"
This anachronism was brought TO
an end recently when the Manhat-
tan vaqueroS, represented by 81
year-old George Hayde on his faith
full nag Cyclone, escorting Diesel
electric-powered freight, made tHair
last roundup. AS part of the mod
ernization program nearly complet-
ed to bring the West Side highway
up to date, the trains will in the
future run above and below ground,
the horses will go to riding acad
envy, and the cowboys will take
more prosaic jobs with the COM
pany.

Low Beam in Traffic

Keep your headlamps on the low
beam when travelling in heavy traf-
fic.
This acvice comes from E. RAY
mond Cato, chief of the California
highway patrol.
Cato said it obviously is impos.
sible for the motorist to keep lower
ing and raising his lights every time
a car approaches when night traffic
is heavy.
Experiments have shown" he
said, that the motorist does not
actually need his high beam under
such circumstances as all objects
along the highway are silhouetted by
the approaching lights. Hence it is
better TO dim the lights by putting
them on the low beam and keeping
them there so long as traffic contin.
