Sun Aids Vitamins

Tomatoes grown in the sun on
healthy plants are considerably
richer in vitamin c than those
grown in the shade. Tomatoes pro-
duced outdoors have more c than
those from greenhouses. Tomatoes
gathered from the garden after a
sunny spell will offer more vitamin
c to family meals than those rip
ened during dark weather. Tests by
scientists at state experiment sta
tions show that the intensity of light
on the plant during growth is OF
more Importance in increasing this
vitamin than any other factor yet
discovered. Sunshine alone, how.
ever, is not enough. Undernour.
ished, thirsty plants, suffering from
loss of foliage, are likely to produce
poor quality, sun burned fruit
Plants that are unevenly watered OF
have too much moisture at one time
and drouth at another are also pool
in quality, even in sunny locations
Sunshine can add c value only i
other conditions are favorable fol

Food Storage

Store onions, potatoes, and foods
canned in glass in cool, dry and
dark corner. For meat, the best
rule is: Keep it clean, keep it cold,
keep it covered A temperature of
As degrees or lower is the best.
Wash poultry thoroughly inside and
out, pat it dry, and store in very
cold place. If your eggs have some
soiled spots on them, wipe off with
a dry, rough cloth, but won't wash
them before storing because the wa
ter destroys the protective film on
the shell that keeps the air out.
Vegetables also need careful ham
ding to preserve their goodness.
Wash, drain and store your salad
green's in a covered pan and keep
cold. Cauliflower, brussels sprouts
and broccoli lose freshness faster
than cabbage. Leave them uncut
and keep cold but not too dry. Keep
your root vegetables-beets, turnips,
rutabagas and carrots-in a cool
ventilated place and it's all right to
cut the tops to two inches in order
to save space.

Fuel Saved by Proper
Upkeep and Stoker Care

Following are some important
suggestions made by stoker authorl-
ties for the proper care OF stokers.
(l) a. Take out unburned coal and
ash from retort fire poD. b. Take
from hopper unused coal and re-
place with oiled saWdust. c. Oper-
ate stoker and remove coal re-
naming in worm. d. Replace with
oiled sawdust that you put in hop
per. e. Run stoker until retort is
full. t. Let sawdust remain until
stoker is used again in fall 6. Oiled
saWdust prevents rust.
~ Examine frebox; look for
burned-out tuyeres.
(3) Clean fly-ash from windbox.
(4) Check draft control operation
and setting.

Butter Vitamin

Tests made by experiment sta
tions in IA leading dairy states
showed that creamery butter aver
ages more than $4,000 International
units of vitamin A to the pound.
Butter produced in summer has
third more vitamin A than winter
butter. Another point brought out
in the Investigations was that there
is little loss of vifamin A and caro-
tene when butter is stored COM
mercially over ordinary periods at
usual storage temperatures. Caro-
tene gives butter its natural yellow
color. In the human body it is con-
verted into vitamin A. That vita
min A and carotene of milk and
butter are dependent upon the guam
tity of carotene in the cows diet
was demonstrated in the studies
The cows principal sources Of caro-
tene are the fresh green pasture
grasses and other good quality
roughages.

Invention of Loom
Boosted Irish Linens

When you look at piece of beau
tiful Irish linen damask, it's hard to
believe that its intricate design was
woven, thread by thread, on ma
chine-the jacquard loom. 1t was
named for its inventor. Joseph Ma
rie jacquard, the son Of French
silk weaver, who got the idea when
he was called to Paris by Napoleon
to repair a special loom on which
q shawl for the Empress Josephine
was being woven.
The art of weaving figured fab
RIGS had been known for generations
before the invention of the jacquard
loom. And figured silks, woven in
China, had been shipped to Europe
through the city of Damascus, from
which we get the word "damask, :
for long, long time.
But the work was very slow and
tedious. In order to form the de-
sign, certain warp threads had to be
lifted and others lowered by hand
before each passage of the shuttle
across the loom. jacquard invent
ed way of making this pattern
forming movement of warp threads
automatic.
The first jacquard loom was
brought to Ireland in 1923 Although
linen damask had been woven long
before that date, the jacquard loom
made it possible to weave the most
elaborate patterns in sufficient guam
titles for export all over the world.

and hospitals In March. l79l, the
Rev. John Hurt of Virginia, a vet

chaplain for the army. deriving his
authority from a congressional act.
He is considered the first chaplain
of the army. Chaplains we're as
signed to regiments during the War
of 1872 After that war, the only
chaplain in the army seems to have
been one at West Point, who also
was professor Of geography, history
and ethics. Concurrent with a new
interest in education and religion,
the Office Of Chaplains was restored
by congress in 1897 and post chap
lains, charged with the responsible
.ity for instruction in lay subjects,
were assigned to army installa-
tions. During the war with Mexico,
chaplain was authorized for each
regiment of volunteers. In 1861,
regimental chaplains were author

Burbank's Contributions
To Agricultural Progress

Luther Burbank. born in Massa-
chusetts in l849, died in Santa Rosa
in 1925. During his working lifetime
he contributed or introduced more
plants than any other single Amer
lean in our history. Many of his
productions have been of great i'm
portance to agriculture, past and
present.
He was not connected with a
learned institution and had little
scientific training. While engaged as
a market gardener in Massachusetts
about 1870, he attempted to improve
his vegetables by crossing varieties,
but because he did not then know
the Importance of continuing his
crosses the second and third gen.
erations. his early efforts failed.
He is perhaps best known for the
development Of the Burbank potato.
which with further improvements IS
now the famous Idaho potato. The
developments Of plums were, how
ever. his most valuable contribution.
Like Thomas Edison, Burbank
was a self-made man. He had about
II years Of school before the death
of his father. When he sold his Bur-
bank potato. he took the money
and, braving family disapproval,
migrated 10 California in 1875.
He introduced over 200 varieties
of fruits alone, consisting Of apples,
backberries, raspberries, strawber-
ries, fruiting cacti. cherries, figs,
grapes, nectarines, peaches, pears

RF YOU are throwing a pair of dice
that are approximately true, the
u chances are that you will obtain
a seven on the average Of once every
six throws. This is the law of chance.
But now il has been found in ten
years Of research at Duke University,
Durham, N. c., that if you strongly
and confidently will the dice TO turn

more than once in six trials.
The ability is not rare, for too
many people have been found at
Duke who can beat chance in dice
throwing tests. And this ability TO
influence moving objects mentally
pSychokinesis, or PIX, as it is called
has been discovered by scientists in
several different universities.
One of the main characteristics of
this ability is that it is very easily
disturbed. Many people have it, but
cannot control it well. Alcohol in
tcrferes with it, reducing the test
scores to chance, while the stimulant,
caffein, found in tea and coffee,
helps PIX ability. Even the small
amount Of caffein in bottle of
a non alcoholic beverage was found
TO raise the test scores substantially.

But already il has revealed most

namely, its basic difference from
physical things.
For it is already pretty clear that
PIX does not work like physical
forces. II works as well on many
dice thrown at a time as upon one
die, and as we'll on larger dice as
upon smaller ones.
Other evidence has been found that
shows that physical laws do not fit

Entertainment houses for the
most part closed at the usual time.
Residents away from home after
10 p. m. had to walk because the
city,s transit lines are short on
