Indians Developed Sign
Language for Talking

The great treeless expanse
stretching westward from the Mis-
souri, river to the Rockies and south
ward from the Fraser river to the
Rio Grande provided spacious
stage for the development of free
arm signaling between Indians.
Tribes of many ste cks roamed the
broad fiat lands, waged wars, spread
over new territory. A universal
means of inter-communication was
needed.
For inter-tribal messages the hand
served the need better than the
tongue. Sign language enabled In
dians even at the geographic ex-
tremes of the region to talk with
one another. A Sioux and Co.
manche could discuss their affairs
with the greatest of ease. Kiowas,
Cheyennes and Crows were most
adept, made their silent meetings
occasions of grace as well as greet
ing.
Signs were made with one hand or
both. Originally they required close
reference to the shape, habit or pur-
pose Of the subject matter. In time
they advanced from the picture idea
to fixed symbolism. The ssvocabu-
larry" was enriched with local varia-
tons of its basic gestures until it
was equal to the making of treaty,
the recital of myths and legends,
and the telling of hunting exploits
and brave deeds.

Made to Order

There's no excuse for soldiers
in Bryan, Texas, not to write home.
Each week mimeographed Dear
Folks" letter is written, containing
the fields news highlights of the
week. The letter is intended for the
men to send to their families and
friends. When rushed for time, the
service man need only to sign his
name to the letter and put it in an
envelope. He even gets free post
age. For men who write home reg
ularly, the mimeographed letter
serves as an added news sheet for
letters.

Freoh Fruit Required for
Canning Tomato Juice

Even though the process of can
ming tomato juice Is simple, much
care should be taken. In the first
place utensils of brass, copper, iron,
zinc or galvanized metal should not
be used, because they often give an
undesirable metallic tinge to the
juice. Tomatoes fresh from the
vines should be used IL possible.
Handle them in small amounts-not
more than one or two gallons at a
time, since speed in handling is nee
essary to retain .vitamin c. 1t Is
easily destroyed by exposure to air.
Well-ripened, firm tomatoes should
be used. Great care must be taken
to remove all the spoiled parts.
Cores and green spots are also re-
moved, but the skins can be left on.
The tomatoes are usually CHARTERED
to facilitate rapid heating. They
are precooked to render the engines
inactive and to permit better sep
aration of pulp and juice. Never
boil the tomatoes-just simmer UNI
til softened. Put the softened, hot
tomatoes through a fine sieve at
once. Reheat this juice immediate
ly to steaming simmer--not roll
ing boil. Then pour it into steri-
lized jars and seal.
Too much stress can not be placed
on the sterilizing of the jars and
covers and the quick handling Of
the hot juice. Spoilage is bound to
occur if the jars are not perfectly
sterile and the juice is not very hot
when it is put into the hot jars.
The juice should be processed for
Is minutes in boiling water. One
eighth inch head space is necessary
for expansion during the processing.
Invert the jars while cooling. Salt
may be added in the proportion Of
one teaspoon to each quart if the
juice is not to be used for infant
feeding.

Carefully Painted

Steel shell castings must be flaw
lessly painted both inside and out
side with paint made by very pre-
else and exacting standards. The
paint must not soften from the in
tense heat of explosion from the pro-
pellant charge when the shell is
fired; it must protect the metal
against chemical action of the in
terror explosive, must protect the
exterior against abrasion, rough
handling and salt spray, must be
proof against moisture, oil or mild
caustics, must be elastic enough to
stand crimping of the shell after in
sertion of the projectile, and is re-
CURED to have a film thickness of
.0006 inch with plus or minus OF
.0001 inch.

Oil From ShaIe

Nearly one million barrels Of oil
annually have been produced in re-
cent years from Scotland's shales.
This is an insignificant part of Brit
aims oil requirement, even in peace
time. 1t is important to the British
because it is domestic and independ-
emit of overseas events. It repre-
sents a source for oil, at present I'M
economical, that scientists predict
may supply the world when free
flowing wells have been exhausted.
In China, Australia, India, France
and other almost oil-dry regions, as
in Britain, oil extensively extracted
from coal. shale or peat-is important

The trend toward furniture of
smaller size and greater refine
ment which was observed in the
Louis XIV period gained in that of
Louis XVI, resulting in pieces that
are Enthusiastically of delicate
scale, smaller in structure, simple
and graceful in appearance and of
refined taste in characterization. No
particular feats of balance were at
tempted either in chairs or larger
pieces of furniture. Like chairs, So
fas and other pieces stood on slen-
der, tapering legs free from UNDER

Carotene Produces vitamin A

Hens convert carotene into vitamin
A with a high degree of efficiency,
it is reported by the poultry hus-
bandry division of the University Of
California.
Hens were fed equivalent unitage
of vitamin A potency in the form of
either carotene or vitamin A, admin
istered daily at a practical level.
The vitamin A potency of the eggs
produced was essentially the same
from either form of the vitamin fed.
Further, it was found that the vita
min A potency in eggs was almost
entirely in the form of vitamin
A and very little in the form of caro-
tene, even when only carotene was
fed.
