DRY MILK HIGH IN FOOD VALUE

Dry skim milk, which Is being dis
tributed in quantity through relief
channels this year, has all the food
values of fresh milk with the excep-
ton Of fat and vitamin A, according
to the Bureau Of Home Economics.
One advantage 1t has over other
forms of milk is that it can be used
to make foods richer in nutritious
milk solids without increasing their
volume
Dry skim milk is an excellent and
economical source Of calcium and
phosphorus, which are needed for
strong bones and teeth. The protein.
like that of fresh milk, Is Of the
efficient type, used readily by the
body. Dry milk also contains consid-
cradle riboflavin (vitamin g. and
some thiamin (vitamin BID
In beverages, soups, gravies, sauc-
es, and custards, dry skim milk COM
bines best if it is diluted with water
first. Then it may be treated in the
same way as fluid milk. TO dilute.
sprinkle the dry skim milk over the
water--then beat until smooth. One
part dry milk to four parts water
(that is, A cup Of the milk powder
to cup of water) makes milk
about equal in food value to fresh
fluid skim milk. To increase the food
value, use " cup Of the milk powder
with cup of water. Or, add pow
dered milk to fresh fluid whole milk.
In breads, cake, cookies, dry skim
usually is combined by sitting 1t
with the dry ingredients.
Properly stored, dry skim milk
will keep without refrigeration for
several weeks. Keep it in tightly
covered container. Store in . cool
place, if possible. When there is .
refrigerator available, store the dry
skim milk there, and it will keep
even longer.

RADIO IN SCHOOLS

Among the numerous states now
using radio programs san integral
part of their educational systems not
the least is Illinois. In 1888 when
the Radio Council of the Chicago
Public Schools began broadcasting
for schools a survey revealed that
there were some 200 radios in Chica-
go schools and that $4,000 children
listened to the Councils 76 pro-
grams. Today, there are more than
1900 radios in Chicago's public
school classrooms, and the Councils
listening audience numbers close to
200, 900 students.
To further extend the use Of radios
in Illinois schools, John A. Wieiand.
State Superintendent of Public In
struction, has appointed permanent
state radio committee. Instead Of set
ting up a program Of its own, this
committee, according to Wieland.
will accept from the broadcasters
the programs which they feel are
worthy Of immediate reception In
the schools Of our state" Both the
CHS and NBC national broadcasting
chains already have well-established
educational programs. CBS's Amer
lean School of the Air alone Is heard
daily by 100000 pupils in 100000
classrooms.

TELEPHONE DIRECTORY OF
1894 HAD BUT 1916 PAGES
National Directory Included
Exchanges for Eighteen
States

A national telephone directory pub
lished in 1894 contained only 338
pages. This directory listed all tele-
phones in the United States which
could be connected by metallic circuits
with the long distance lines Of the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company.
1t included exchanges in Is states:
Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indi-
ana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts,
Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jer-
sey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia,
Wisconsin and Kentucky; also the
District Of Columbia.
Today q bookshelf 35 feet long
would be required to hold one copy Of
each Of the current telephone direc-
tories issued by the Bell System.
New York state had the longest list,
covering 1876 pages. This compares
with 1,132 pages in the latest edition
Of New York City's telephone direc-
tory for Manhattan alone.
When this national" telephone
directory was published, long distance
telephone service extended only as far
west rs Chicago. Today telephone
communication Is practically world
wide.

MEMBERSHIP OF TELEPHONE PIONEERS
OF AMERICA NOW NUMBERS 47,OOO
Over 1000 Employees Of C. p. Companies Belong To
Chapters Of Organization Founded In Boston,
Mass, Twenty-Five Years Ago

Twenty-nine years ago In the city
Of Boston, Mass, group Of telephone
employees organized the Telephone
Pioneers Of America for the purpose
Of promoting and continuing the
friendships made during the progress
Of the industry and to recall from
time to time the traditions, memories
and facts Of the business. Any per-
son having served twenty-one years
in telephone work was eligible for
membership.
From that small nucleus has grown
great organization which today
numbers over $4,000 members with
pioneer telephone men and women af-
filiated with chapters throughout the
nation. The association has increased
by $4,000 members in the last five
years, and in the next five years a
growth Of almost 10000 is expected,
which would place the membership
above the $4,000 mark in 1916. OF
the present $4,000 members, 1898 are
life members.
It was on September IL, 1922 that
the Alexander Graham Bell Chapter
of the Telephone Pioneers of America
was organized to serve Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone Company en-
ployees. At that time about So en-
ployees in Washington held member
ships. Today the roster has grown to
448, 45 Of which are life members.
Eleven years after the Washington
chapter was organized, group of EN-.
ployees in the Chesapeake and Poto.

/ ropolitan hotel. Such practical serv-
ices as telephone, valet and laundry
combine with the pleasures of moving
pictures, dancing, music and sports to
weave around the 1919 passengers
who can be accommodated, an atmos-
phere of "being right at home"
More than 80 per cent of the vessel
is constructed Of non-infammable ma
terial and she is the first ship ever
designed with magnetically operated
steel doors. These doors can be closed
in an instant to shut off any section
Of the ship.
This floating towns" communica-
ton system-in itself vital link in
the chain Of safety measures-is as
complete and modern as that found
in many communities. She is equipped
with S60-line common battery lamp
signal switchboard and power plant.
She has more telephones than any
other liner afoat today, with instru-
ments linking all sections of the ship,
including large proportion Of the
staterooms. Through the use Of the
latest type Of radiotelephone equip
ment those on the ship can be connect
ed with any Bell System telephone re-
CARELESS of the ships position. When
the liner lies at dock, the switchboard
provides for IL trunks for use in con-
Meeting with central offices on shore.
Designed for service speed Of
twenty knots and q reserve speed Of
twenty-three knots, the America was
originally scheduled for North Attain
tic service. This schedule was revised,
however, and United States Lines Off
Gals placed her in service to the West
Indies.
Thus, the new queen Of the seas,
built in America by American labor
and with American materials has
closed another chapter in the history
Of U. s. shipbuilding. She is now
ready to take her place along side the
great feet Of going liners which
| have and are now serving America.

The Pied Piper
OF Death!

THE juke box IL the Pied Piper
= for 1905 Dance of Deathl
In case you don't know, juke box
IL American slang for the coin-op-
Grated mechanical photograph, tisu-
ally found In taverns and saloons,
and full sister Of those other prod
ucts Of the vending machine indus
try-the slot machines and the pin
games.
Members of this multi-million dol
lar industry are frank In saying
that without the liquor traffic their
business would evaporate.
Right now they are very worried
about their public relations" It
seems like an upsurge similar to
that of national criticism against
the social effects Of the relegalized
liquor traffic is bringing d lot Of
critical discussion Of the juke box.
It's nickel-in-the-slot business,
but with 100000 units in operation,
a lot Of nickels are totaled every
day. The man who runs the tavern
gets Is to 30 per cent Of the "take."
The rest goes to the distributor for
that area, who has purchased his
machines from one Of the big manu-
facturers.
The nice income from the music
box helps the saloon, but the indi-
rect results are what make the ma
chine both popular with the liquor
traffic and the Pied Piper of youth.
Young people Glove" music and
dancing. They usually are short on
money. Without the juke box you
wouldn't find half-a-dozen high
school or college age young people
in any liquor emporium. But, the
juke box and the tavern make an
irresistible combination. At the tav-
ern they can dance to the latest
"hot' records for nickel, or to
the music paid for by some other
patron. The implied cover charge
for a table Is to buy drink. They
do-starting in with beer or wine or
very possibly q soft drink, ending
up as full-fedged customers Of rum
coolers, gin or whisky.
The young people draw most SYM
pathy from such groups as the w. c.
T. u, which looks with favor on a
recent youth-inspired move toward
milk bars, fruit juice stands, and
lquorless night clubs.
But, the music box also is the
big final lure which takes most girls,
If not men, into the taverns, those
thousands OF little shot spots'' in
every neighborhood and on every
highway. 1t wouldn't be far-fetched
to put some of the blame for
the tremendous highway death toll
due to drinking drivers on the music
which draws the customers.
The temperance groups are begin
ming to wonder If all states shouldn't
follow the lead of a few forward
looking commonwealth which bar
music and dancing in drinking
places; If such a ban generally
wouldn't get youth and women out
Of the saloon long enough to look
around and really assay the effects
Of their so-called fun.

haitian and the S. s. Washington.
From that time on the designing, con-
structing, decorating and equipping Of
the new vessel added page after page
to this story Of American shipbuild-
ing.
One Of the most interesting and by
far one Of the most important fea-
lures of this story was the part played
by the Newport News Shipbuilding
and Drydock Company of Newport
News, Virginia. Theirs was the job
Of construction ). Of making the ship
on paper reality. That they sue
ceeded in this tremendous task is best
illustrated by the opinion Of the U. s.
Maritime Commission which consid-
ers the S. S. America the safest and
most comfortable vessel ever built.
The liner deserves this accolade
partly because of the ingenuity and
skill Of the thousands who had hand
in its making and partly because the
employees of the Newport News Ship
building and Drydock Company re-
membered and followed a creed /.
a creed which reads:
We shall build good ships here
At a profit if we can,
At loss if we must,
But always good ships.
In spite of the fact that the Vir-
ginia Shipbuilding concern set some
thing of record in fast work for
ship construction, the S. S. America is
in every respect "good" ship. Built
at a cost Of $17,00O,0O0, the new lux
ury liner is of 35,440 tons displace-
ment and is 723 feet in length from
the stem to the fore part Of the rud-
der post.

ten decks, the liner is equipped with
