The real JOY of Spanish is in the
accents. In other languages, like
French you pronounce the first
part of a word and let it go.
But not in Spanish. Spanish is
made to be bounced upon, or at

E~xuberance Carries All Before 1t
Some hazards are involved in
this exercise, the same as a bull
fight when you are trying to stick
the bull. "E" is pronounced a.
"I' is pronounced &c" "A" is
pronounced All" as when a doctor
looks at your tonsils.
But eXuberance is the thing. With
exuberance you can carry all be-
fore you, and as a method of wax
ing up in the morning and making
your wife burn the toast, it is much
better than singing in the shower.
Spanish-Americans must have a
wonderful sense of humor. "H"
is never pronounced, but &C" is
pronounced H" when you least
expect it.
This leads to all kinds of fresh
experiences. General" is spelled
the same way, but pronounced

New Poultry Meal

Starfsh, though a serious pest in
oyster beds, may be an asset TO
poultry growers. the department of
agriculture concludes from series
of tests of starfsh meal fed to Young
growing chickens. Shortages of pro
TEN feeds for livestock led depart-
mcnt research workers to experi-
ment with several materials for
merly discarded or poorly utilized
by various industries. One was star
fish, which oystermcn take in
quantity in cleaning oyster beds
Whole starlish, when sundried and
ground into meal, contains about 80
per cent Of protein, 10 per cent of
calcium, and smaller quantities of
other nutrients including phos-
phorus. Tests of its suitability for
poultry feeding showed that il com
pares favorably with sardine
meal, familiar as an ingredient of
poultry feeds. The tests were with
White Leghorn and Rhode Island
Red chicks fed diets adequate in all
nutrients except those that the
starfish and sardine meals were ex-
pected to supply. Starfish meal
proved a good source of protein
out 1t gave best results when fed
IN rather small quantities.

proposed sales tax for Montana
in discussions at the third annua

Opponents to such a tax contend
it was not based on ability to pav

Favor was expressed for a plan
suggested by Dr. Arthur E. Elder
director of the women's educa-
tional service at the University of
Michigan The plan called for a
state tax committee of AFL, CIO

to study the state tax system to ar

KOOTENAI THEATRE INSTALLS
GENERAL ELECTRIC COOLER

The management of the Kootenai
Theatre is adding to the comfort
of its patrons with the installation
of a new General Electric Cooler.
The Cooler, run by a large electric
motor, is located in the roof of the
theatre, where the air is drawn
IN and passes over huge pads satura-
ted with water piped from below. A
large blower then difuses the air
and sends it TO ali parts of the
building.
The installation. in charge of Part
low Electric Co. is expected to be
completed within the next week,
upon the arrival Of an exhaust fan
of 5000 Gu. #. per minute capacity
10 be used in conjunction with the
fan already in use which has a capa-
city of $500 These fans are used
to blow out the warm air, with the
new one being used to draw the
air from under the balcony
The new cooler has capacity of
10000 Gu. it, per minute and the
building contains $4,000 IT., so there
will be complete change of air in
the theatre every six minutes.

Frozen Potatoes

French fried potatoes that can
be served without the time-consum-
ing process Of deep-frying and oven
Drowned potatoes that will only need
to be heated through are possibili-
ties to which American homemak-
ers can look forward within the next
few years. Tests made recently with
precooked quick-frozen potatoes at
the New Jersey agricultural exper-
lment station bear out this predic-
ton. New Jersey grown Green
Mountain potatoes were boiled
baked, french fried. scalloped, and
prepared in several other ways and
then aHiek-ffezcn and placed in a
freezer locker unit at the station
last fall. A few samples were re-
moved from the locker, thawed. and
reheated at the end of 10 days, and
the rest were given the same treat
ment four months later. The six
men and women who taste-sampled
the potatoes in their various forms
were of the opinion that although
further experiments would have to
be conducted to improve the flavor
and texture, the results of these
hrst tests we're promising.

Fortified Frozen Peaches
Found Superior in Quality

Frozen peaches fortified with vita.
min c were rated much more high
ly in flavor and color than peaches
frozen in syrup alone, researchists
found. Vitamin c preserved peaches
also rated better than peaches
frozen with citric acid. Citric acid
is another preservative used with
frozen peaches.
Frozen peaches, although low in
natural vitamin c, held the added
.vitamin c exceedingly well. APP
proXlmately 70 per cent of the added
vltamin c, or ascorbic acid, was re-
tanned after six months of storage.
Good Favored, well-ripened liberia
and Hale peaches were used in the
experimental tests. The peaches
were given a 80 to 40-second bath
IN boiling water and then were
dipped into cold water for a similar
length of time. After peeling. the
peaches we're dropped into a citric
acid bath to prevent darkening dur
ing preservation.
Small, waxed, non-leak tub-cartons
were used as containers. AS soon as
sufficient number of peeled
peaches were ready to fill one of
these containers, they were sliced
into the carton and covered with
syrup. The syrup had been fortified
with ascorbic acid, the pure vitamin
{. The peaches were then frozen as
quickly as possible after prepara-
ton.

tion when so many had been re-
moved by an equally discerning
providence.
But to the young the watchnight
meeting was always dreary serv-
ice, only to be endured in view of
the joys of the morrow. And when
the life and color were taken out of
the. observance of New Years itself,
there seemed little sense in ushering
in a day of gloom with a still gloom
ier New Years Eve. So they left
the matchmaking to those who
found no more pleasure in their
days, and for themselves introduced
the practice now generally preva-
lent of indulging in a last fling in
preparation for the morrow's dis
agreeable business of turning over
new leaf.
They have revived the old pagan
ceremony, except that no minia-
ture skeletons are passed around at
the feast to remind them that they
are mortal Nothing in this modern
New Years Eve abandon, however,
commendS it as a substitute for the
old gracious custom of paying and
receiving calls, a custom for which
desuetude was hastened by the

in the rs years following the Civil
war.

A SHORT SHORT
NEW YEARS STORY

Gee, it's funny how that habit
which the folks instill in us during
childhood helps when stranded in a
big city of strangers where l
know no one in particular" Meta
Carson reflected as she mused over
the evening newspaper.
That habit which had become so
much to the Carson family was to
door resolve to do-a good deed
for someone during New Years Day.
In recalling her life at home, she
came on an idea and then jumped
to the practical application. Meta
Carson sat down at her desk and
took a fountain pen in hand She
wrote to the owner of the office build
ing in which she worked. Her pur-
pose was to tell him about the
wonderful service Jed, the diminu-
tive elevator boy, was giving, though
none of the other building tenants
took the time to appreciate it. 1t

two dollar ra4se on the strength of
her praise and appreciation of him.
Another letter written to the
chief of police, which praised the Of
ficer on the beat near where her
rooming house was located, she dis
covered, was responsible for the Of
ficer receiving a promotion.
A note to the head of the depart
ment store where she bought her
stockings and other fineries of life,
praising the timid little sales girl
at the glove counter, resulted in the
girl being moved to better counter
mot to mention raise in pay.
During the course of that New
Years Day she wrote and mailed
about two dozen such thank-you let

ployers. Thanking them for folks
that other folks appreciate, too. but
never seem to find time to thank.
