Wallpaper Cleaner Can Be
Bought or Made at Home

Homemakers who want to bright
en- rooms without repapering them
can get good results with wallpaper
cleaner, either commercial brands
which have been tested or home
made cleaner recommended by ex-
tension specialists in home manage
ment of Ohio State university.
An efficient wallpaper cleaner can
be made by using cups flour, 2
cups warm water, tablespoons ker
osene, 4 tablespoons ammonia, and 4
tablespoons salt The materials are
mixed and beaten until smooth and
then cooked until the material thick
ems. 1t will be lumpy but SHOULD
not be doughlike
After cooking, the cleaner should
be kneaded and made into balls
These should be stored in tight
container for several days to per
NIT the cleaner to cure so it will not
crumble while being used. The rec
ipe given will make enough cleaner
for an average size room.
In cleaning wallpaper, all cobwebs
first should be removed with wall
brush or soft wool mop without per-
hitting the brush or mop to touch
the wall if the paper is sooty. SCOT
streaks brushed into wallpaper are
very difficult to remove. Cleaning
should start at the bottom of the
paper; the dirt being removed by
short, even, overlapping strokes of
the cleaner. The soiled part of the
cleaner should be worked into the
interior Of the ball after each few
strokes.

Contour Farming

This is the time to plan those sim
pie soil conservation practices which
will increase the production of food
without increasing costs for labor
and overhead, says Lindley G. Cook,
extension soil conservationist.
Many of these simple soil conserv-
ing practices not only raise the yield
of farm grown food products, but
they also save fertilizing elements
and reduce the wear and tear on
farm machinery.
Cook explains that contour farm
ing means simply farming ION the
level" When level farming is prac-
ticed, tractors are not forced to 60
up and down hill to carry out farm
operations and therefore do not wear
out so rapidly nor use so much fuel.
On most farms, tillage can be on
the contour without causing more
frequent turning, he says.
Crop yields are consistently in
creased from 10 to 30 per cent by
contour farming because the mois-
ture is kept on the field where the
plants can use 1t and because the
topsoil and fertility are not car
ried away by erosion Cook points
out. Reports Of the New Jersey
Experiment station show that even
the slightest sheet erosion on gently
sloping land removes in one season
enough nitrogen to equal that found
In 200 pounds of nitrate of Soda"

Farmers in the East Central Re
gion are asked to increase their fall
seeding of wheat for harvest in 1914
to the extent Of 21% over the acre
age planted for harvest in 1S43
That means an increase of 2,50O,OOO
acres in this region, which inclues
the states of Maryland, Delaware
Virginia, West Virginia, Kenucky
Tennessee, and North Carolina.
Wheat acreage allotments and
wheat payments will not apply to the
crop seeded this fall. Farmers plant
ing wheat onland now in permanent
pasture or subject to excessive ero-
sion. may not be eligible for wheat
loans, according to L. G. Burns mem

GASOLINE AND OIL
BY J. E. Jones

Washington, August 9.-The read
er who digs deep enough into the
new big inch" pipeline that has
just been completed will discover
that it actually is 24-inch pipeline.
1t has been built in less than year
from Longview, Texas, to Bayway,
N. j., and Marcus Hook, Pennsylva-
MIA, distance Of 1888 miles and at
cost of 95 million dollars.
The reason it was built was to
supply oil and gasoline to the East.
When the war broke out the rail-
roads were hauling driblets of about
5000 barrels of oil daily to the
Eastern coast. The railroads did
the biggest transportation job in all
history, and delivered 500 thousand
barrels day, and finally in the week
of July 10, 7943, they delivered L.
100,000 barrels day to the eastern
seaboard.
Nevertheless private homes were
unheated last winter on account of
the restricted rationing of fuel oil,
and the squeeze was REPEATEDLY
tightened on gasoline for automo-
biles. The finishing touches have
been made on the. "big inch" pipe
line; another 20-inch pipeline will
be completed this winter; another
pipeline from the Western oil fields
by way of Norris City, Illinous, is
bringing oil into Richmond, Virginia.
No one will dispute the wisdom of
getting all the gasoline that is nee
essary for our military forces. But
some one in this government should
show, and prove there isn't enough
oil and gasoline in the United States.
Administrator Ickes is the man
who makes the distribution of gas
oline to different parts of the coun-
try. His estimates on the amount
of transportation needed have been
doubled now that the new pipeline
is finished.

Aid to Enemy

"Any American who wilfully
neglects to pay his taxes on
time or to invest every cent he
can in War Bonds is surely CIV
ing aid and comfort to the
enemy We have a job to
do and we are all called for
service to our country. Our
dollars are called to service
too. Let US all ask ourselves,
Shall we be more tender with
our dollars than with the lives
of our sons?'" - Secretary
Morgenthau.

Measures Feet

A simplified johannesburg ma,
chine which measures both feet at
once and assures more accurate
fit of soldiers shoes has been adapt
ed for army use. The machine adj
justs itself to the position of both
feet at one time SO that the operator
can measure them accurately. BY
measuring both feet at once, with
the mans weight evenly placed on
both, the operator of the machine
can assure the soldier of a more
perfect fit in shoes. The measuring
operation with the new device re-.
quires less than ten seconds for both
feet, as compared with nearly 30
seconds for present equipment.

The effect of nutritive value varies
from one canning method to another.
To large extent, the factors that
affect palatability also affect nutri-
tive value, so the product which looks
and tastes the best is many times
also best INTENTIONALLY. Time and
temperature are important in deter
mining vitamin content. In general,
the higher the temperature required
for processing and the longer the
time 1t must be applied, the greater
the destruction Of vitamins.
As In freezing, the chief nutrients
to be affected in canning are vita
minis A and C. Both are rather
easily destroyed by oxidation. Hence
if food containing them is heated
in the presence of air, much larger
amounts are destroyed than if air
is excluded during processing. On
this basis, open-kettle canning Is
more destructive to vitamin c espe-
cially. than water-bath canning.
Foods which are pureed when hot
are apt to lose considerable amounts
of vitamin c. On the contrary, foods
which are processed in closed con-
tainers, as the waterbath and pres
sure cooker, are protected to some
extent from such losses.

Initiating Imitation

The Administration is having a
hard time trying to make the public
believe that progress has been made
in escaping imitation. 1t is unfortu-
aate that Presidents William Green
of ALL and Philip Murray of CLIO
gave President Roosevelt personal
notice that organized labor would
not continue to support the wage and
price sterilization program as it is
now formulated. The two labor
chiefs minced no words advising the
President that ''we are agreed that
Prentiss Brown has failed and is
falling" At the same time they en-
phasized to the President that the
Little Steel formula must be discard
ed and prices rolled back to Septem-
Der Is of last year.
The many twists in the position
of organized labor, including the
coal mine strikes, have produced pc
culiar reactions. The National War
Labor Board has been crowded into
a corner where it apparently must
reverse itself on vital questions. The
Smith Connally law served to anger
the three big leaders of organized la
Dor. Meanwhile prices have been
going UP steadily.
The situation shows that there has
been failure to stabilize wages and
the price of foods and the necessi-
ties of life.

Passing the Points

Leon Henderson was the creator
of point rationing. The first public
reaction to the scheme was directed
against Henderson, and, when he
passed from the scene into compare
tive obscurity no one mourned over
his departure. His system has also
been turned out to be passing
custom inasmuch as friends and
neighbors pass the points" around
to their friends, and exchange red
points for blue, and swap coffee
points for sugar points, and sugar
points for shoe points Some people
even take a chance with their gaso-
line points. The Administration
has had nothing but trouble in its
efforts to convince the American
pubic that the ration system is sue
cessful, or can be made successful.

Wilson Teachers College
Will Expand Courses

Wilson Teachers College will ex-
pand its pre-induction offerings next
fall, according to an announcement
by DR.. Ellis Haworth, chairman of
the Science Division and officer in
charge Of pre-induction courses.
Beginning in September the COL
lege will add course in fundamen-
tails of electricity, and another course
in fundamentals of machines. These
are to supplement courses in funda-
mentals of mathematics, fundamen-
tails OF radio, Introductory physics,
and fundamentals of English which
were offered in the college this Sc
mester. The pre-induction courses
are planned especially for young men
who find that they can take only one
semester OF work on the college level
before being called into one OF the
armed services.
The course in fundamentals OF
electricity will cover materials re-
quired for service in such branches
"S 'i'N SASiioA toA Ps anu lIlt COrIl@
mnication units. II will be espe-
cially valuable for men who may
become field telephone operators.
Also 1t will cover the kind OF infor-
nation which must be mastered by
auto mechanics and workers In sim
liar fields. The course on machine,
will give the fundamental knowledge
OF machinery needed by auto me-
chanics and men in engineering
units.
The courses in mathematics and
physics will continue TO give the
basic skills and information needed
in many branches OF the services.
DR.. Haworth declared that these
additions to the college offerings
have been planned because OF the
favorable response from students en-
rolled in the pre-induction courses
offered this semester. All of the
courses have been planned in con-
sultation with officers In the War
Department.
