Simple Emulsion Removes
Stubborn Grease Spots

For stubborn, greasy spots on
painted or enameled woodwork that
resist ordinary suds and water,
home management specialists sug-
gest kerosene emulsion which can
be easily prepared at home.
Excellent as cleaner for painted,
enameled and vanished wood sur
faces, this emulsion works quickly
and efficiently. To make the solu-
ton, dissolve one teaspoon of tri-
sodium phosphate in a quart of hot
water, 100 to 1870 degrees Fahren-
heit.
Melt three to four ounces of bees
wax in an aluminium utensil. Re-
move utensil from the stove, and
add two-thirds of cup of kerosene.
Slowly add the hot water solution to
the melted wax-kerosene solution,
stirring rapidly.
With soft cloth, apply small
amount of the emulsion to the soiled
woodwork, and rub dry, using
clean cloth. You'll be amazed at
the speed with which it works.
cleaning and polishing at the same
time. The emulsion may separate
while standing, in which case simply
shake well before using again.

Farm Ponds

For many years conservationists
have urged the value of developing
farm ponds, and stocking them with
fish which provide food, sport for
fishermen and keep the waters in
good condition. U. S. department of
agriculture experts have suggested
a few simple rules for handling
such ponds to produce fish of good
size and quality, and in sufficient
numbers. These rules are:
/. Stock properly-with the right
proportion of plant-eating fish and
the food fish that prey on them; 2.
Harvest the crop by fishing
out each year enough of the larger
fish so that those left will have food
to make good growth; 8. Fertilize
the pond-to keep up the supply of
food plants for the fish; 4. Pre-
vent sitting - fish do not thrive in
muddy water, and continued sitting
fills the pond, reduces the volume
of water, and cuts down possibilities
for a fish harvest.

Solar Still' Provides
Water for Men at Sea

Drinking water is bulky, and life
RATS are small-a situation which
for centuries has posed a tough
problem for men who battle the
seas. But the army air forces,
through the resources of industry
and the laboratories of the air tech
nical service command have found
an answer to the problem in the
recent invention and development of
the "Solar Still"
With full supply of water, men
adrift on raft can keep alive for
weeks, even without food. And as
long as there is sunshine, the Solar
Still will keep them from perishing
for lack of water.
This seemingly magical, but es-
sentially simple, floating water still
is a vinyl plastic envelope, 80
inches long with ends IL inches in
diameter. A plastic screen covered
with black cellulose sponge is
stretched through the middle
Through the plastic transparency of
the stills envelope about 80 per cent
of the suns rays may pass; the
sponge, soaked with sea water, alb
serbs the heat of the sun. The heat
evaporates the water, which passes
off as vapor, leaving the sea salt in
the sponge. On the cooler envelope
of the Solar Still, the vapor con-
denses into fresh water, which
runs down to the reservoir at the
bottom of the still.

Oldest German City.
Dotted With Roman Ruins

Trier, German frontier town near
Luxembourg, in the vicinity OF which
American forces made their first
major penetration into German ter
ritory, is believed to be the oldest
city in all Germany 1t was estab-
lished under the Roman Emperor
Augustus and has had a colorful his
tory for nearly 1000 years.
Visitors to peacetime Trier were
constantly confronted with the con-
trast between the old and the new:
the ancient Roman ruins that are
everywhere, and the comparatively
modern city houses and buildings.
Trier might be compared to a
modern print whose golden frame
has furnished with age.
The city's modern tree-shaded,
flower bordered square, like that of
most German cities, often witnessed
the gathering of its citizens for sum-
mer concerts, winter sports, or
autumn festivals. Since Trier was
the center of the Moselle valley wine
industry, the autumn grape-harvest
ing festivals were particularly color
full, some of the pageants incor-
porating old Roman customs.
The greatest architectural treas
ure is the Porta Nigra (Black Gate),
reputedly built in the fourth cen
fury and considered by some anti
quarians the finest Roman ruin
north of the Alps. On the narrow
crooked streets of the old town, this
~three-storied fortified Roman gate
still stands. With its two entrances
and well-built foundations, it recalls
the early periods when the city had
to defend itself against its foes.

Lean Year

Leap year generally, but not al
ways, occurs at four-year intervals.
The true astronomical year, how
ever, is 1865 days, five hours, 48 min
utes and 46 seconds, while the ca1en-
dar year is an even 1865 days. This
means that for each calendar year
that is observed there is a surplus
of nearly six hours in the astronomi-
cal year. This is absorbed by adding
one day to the calendar at four
year intervals. But this, then, gives
the average calendar year length
ii minutes and IA seconds In excess
of the true astronomical year. To
make the necessary adjustment in
the calendar year which has two
ciphers, (1600, 1000, etc., is a leap

Mighty Palm

The carnauba palm increases in
its productivity of wax and is said
to reach its maximum at SO to 60
years. Unlike most palms, the car
nauba has long life span and it is
not uncommon for it to live 200
years. It grows to heights of from
SO to so feet. The palm requires
plenty of sunshine and air and
dwarfs the other vegetation around
it. 1t prefers to grow along the banks
of rivers and lakes, but it is also
found in small isolated groves from
the damp lowlands along the Brazil
ian coast to the forests of the inte-
rior. 1t is found on dry, sandy
ground and resists the floods which
sweep the countryside during the
rainy season.

Adhesives Find Many
Uses in Modern Industry

Adhesives derived from starch en-
ter into the manufacture of an al
most limitless variety of products.
In the latter part of the 18th CEN
fury, the manufacture of starch adj
hesives and sizes became impor-
tant in industry. In the United States
the growing need for starch was
realized by John Biddis of Pennsyl-
vania, who devised a method Of
manufacturing starch from potatoes
and was granted a patent in 1902.
The introduction of postage stamps
in 1910 and the subsequent inven-
ton of gummed envelopes stimu-
lated the demand for adhesives.
About the same time the devel-
opment of photography created new
uses for adhesives in mounting
photographs. The introduction Of
matches offered another use for adj
hesives in the manufacture Of the
cardboard match box. Through the
use of the cardboard tubular cart
ridge, adhesives aided in revolution
izing the shotgun from the muzzle
to the breechloader type. From this
beginning, tubes for various pur-
poses were developed.
The introduction of the paper bag
was the first step toward modern
packaging. Adhesives are espe-
cially advantageous because they
cause no health or industrial haz-
ards.

pressed me, apart from the deep
impression Of the sermon itself,
was that almost everything in the

direct contrast with the minister's

rather than Our Heavenly Father.
1t is well that we should feel awe
and reverence in the presence OF
the Eternal; but the great word
for the worshiper is: Draw nigh I'm.
