WHEN MOTHER GOES HOME
BY WILLIAM T. L L

I learned a significant social
fact a few evenings ago when
visiting Sleighton Farm, Pennsyl-
vania Reform School for Girls.
Normally there are about five
hundred girls in the school, every
one committed there by court or
der.
Miss Morrison, the superinten-
dent, told me that there has been
a marked falling off of the num-
Der of girls admitted since the
close of the war. She attributes
this condition to the return to
their homes of ~war-working moth
ers. In their absence from home,
at wal jobs, their daughters had
run wild. Now home restraints
have leen reestablished, and de-
linquency has been diminished.
After all W modern notions Of
sociology have been tried out, it
still remains true that the home
is the ,'Simary influence upon
youth. A mother does more for
the country by training her child
rem than by running a machine
in a wal plant. And when that
mother is religious. she establishes
the greatest strength OF all In a
nations life.
Some day there viii be no need
for munitions; but the need for
loving. wise and God-fearins moth
ers VIII never cease.

HOW THE SECRET OF FLYING
WAS SOLVED

Among the early experimenters
in heavier-than-air flight in the
United States, was Prof. Samuel
P. Langley. At the beginning OF
this century, after constructing a
number of successful model planes,
powered first by rubber bands and
then by steam, he turned his at
tention to the construction of a
man-carrying power plane. Charles
M. Manley was associated with
him as design engineer.
A gasoline engine was used to
provide power. The craft was com.
pleted in 1903. Two attempts were
made, in August and October Of
that year, to take off from a
launching track on the roof OF
a houseboat in the Potomac River.
On both occasions, something went
wrong with the launching machine
ry. and the plane dived %inglorious-

Editorial Comment
WILL 1T COME BACK?

A few years ago chestnut trees were the
glory of the Southern highlands and roasted
chestnuts were the delight of childre:1 in the
Autumn and Winter seasons.
Chestnut blight struck suddenly against the
towering chestnut trees in North Carolina,
Virginia and other states and today their dead
trunks stand stark, Bare of bark. like, gray
skeletons in the Blue Ridge, the Great
Smokes and the Alleghenies.
Recently, as The Richmond Times-Dispatch
has noted, hope has been entertained for the
return OF the chestnut. Tree specialists be.
leve they have found the nemesis of chestnut
blight in a hybrid tree produced from a dis.
ease resistant oriental kinsman of the Vir-
ginia Britannia chestnut. Reports indicate that
the tree promises 10 do well on American

BETWEEN TWO FIRES

During the flush times when laborers
who had never been used to higher pay
than Is cents an hour were getting up 10
$50 a week and more a merchant was
heard to remark: 1T doesn't make any
difference what you set before them
(meaning customers), they'll take it with
out even asking the price"
Being a conservative, the merchants
lone was one Of regret rather than Ella
lion. He had gone through a period Of
initiation and the inevitable succeeding
depression, and knew only TOO we'll what
promiscuous and lavish buying at inflated
prices leads to.
Part Of what he foresaw is already
happening. A dispatch from Minneapolis,
where a merchandising mart was held last
week, says: farmers in the central and
western STATES are looking before they
leap at merchandise priced at todaYs
high level"
The dispatch notes that dealers and
store managers from twenty-six states
attending the mart reported they've been
hearing grumblings about what the dol
lar will buy" Hailing from farming Sec
lions, these retailers registered from as
far south as Arkansas and from Indiana
10 California.
Obviously they constituted a cross-sec-
ton Of the population in the broad region
represented. When they declared buyer
resistance general and spreading they re-
vealed a condition that probably extends
far beyond their own sphere Of operation.
II was only a few days ago that New
Orleans housewives declared a boycott
on broilers until the price dropped. AL
though there is no evidence Of a concerted
movement by consumers TO ask how
much?" instead Of saying offhand, It'll
take it," there is no reason 10 doubt that
the trend toward the buyer resistance is
all but nationwide.
While it is desirable TO get prices back
10 a sound economic level and consumers
are justified in doing without commodities
not actually needed, hoping for a general
price recession, it is unfortunate that re-
tailers should be caught between two
fires, so to speak, the same being increas-
ed production costs, chiefly stemming
from strikes and other labor disturbances,
and consumer reluctance or inability TO

plane is kept moving by means of
a propeller, which acts like a
large cork-screw. If the blades Of
a propeller can be made to move
fast enough, they ere their way
through the air and thus keep the
plane moving forward.
Now when an object such as a
wing moves through the air at the
proper angle, the air that flows
over the top of the wing has to
travel a slightly longer path than
the air at the bottom and thus
has to 60 faster. 1t cannot, there
fore, exercise as much pressure as
the air moving below the wing.
The stream Of air below, pushing
up, is stronger than the stream
above, pushing down. Thus the
plane is lifted.
Following the historic flights OF
December II, 1903, individual ex-
perimenters built airplanes in
various countries, and many dar-
ing young men took to the air. The
world was amazed when the
Frenchman, Louis Bleriot, flew
across the English Channel.

millions and drew hunters from
over the world to the plains Of Kan
sas and Nebraska, first came to
North America about 100000 years
ago. That was when the second of
the three big glaciers Of the Ice Age
was retreating from the northern
Great Plains,
DR.. c. B. Schultz, museum d1rec-
tor, and w. D. Frankforter, assist
ant curator Of paleontology Of the
museum, report that their studies
thus far indicate two unusual ten
dencies in evolution of the bison.
First, the great granddaddy Of
them all who came to this con-
tinent from Asia was character
lied mainly by huge horns
which averaged 80 inches from
tip to tip. But the body Of this
creature, known scientifically
as "superbison," was less than
foot taller and a foot longer
than the present buffalo. Sue
ceeding generations showed
only one significant change:
size of the horns. They steadily
shrank to tOday's average of %
inches from tip to tip. The body
remained nearly the same.
Second, the bison, unlike
other prehistoric animals found
in North America such as ele-
plants, rhinOs, horses and cam
els, first appeared on our con-
tinent as large animal and de-
creased in size.
The University of Nebraska scien-
lists also believe, on the basis of
present studies, that the bison popu-
lation has had it's ''ups and downs. :"
The first bison, they say, apparently
was relatively few in numbers since
only a few scattered skeletal re-
mains have been found thus far in
Kansas and Nebraska.
But they increased in numbers
rapidly as the climate began warm
ing up, and more food was made
available to the growing herds. But
about 10000 years ago a human
civilization, apparently a race of
hunters, migrated from Asia to this
continent, and the numbers of bison
were greatly reduced. These tribes,
h ow ever, suddenly disappeared
from the Great Plains for reasons
which are still a mystery to scien-
lists. After their disappearance,
however. bison herds staged a
comeback.
The herds gained steadily in size,
even after appearance of the early
Indians in the Great Plains region.
But with the coming of the white
man, the bison all but disappeared
from the continent.
The research work now under
way at University of Nebraska is
expected to take at least five more
years to complete.

done the day before.
The day before you begin actual
canning, check on equipment to be
sure that it works properly. For
fruit and berry canning you will
need a water bath, which may be
a large kettle or broiler, fitted
with a rack, and tightly fitting
cover. Or, you also may use pres
sure cooker for processing, but this
is not as essential for fruits as it
is for vegetables.
You will need several large pans
and kettles for preparing the fruit
and for making the syrup. You also
will need to prepare jars, checking
them for cracks and imperfections,
and washing them in hot soapy
suds. Make certain you have enough
covers or lids.
Estimating Amounts
Although fruits and berries vary
in size and moisture content, it is
still possible to make some sort Of
estimate as to how much syrup and
the number of jars you will need.
For sweet fruits, you will use a
syrup made of 2 cups of sugar to
4 cups of water; for slightly acid
fruit, use cups of sugar to 3 cups
of water; for acid fruit, cups of
sugar to cups of water is ample.
If the fruit is very acid, 2 cups Of
sugar to l cup of water is essential.
The syrup is made simply by add
ing the sugar to the water and boil
ing together for S minutes.
If you are canning large fruits
such as peaches and pears, allow

pends upon the size, but ordinarily
we count pounds of fruit for the
quart jar. This will aid in estimat-
ing your yield.
Method Of Packing
Some fruits and berries are hot
packed, but most women prefer US
ing the cold pack method for pre-
pairing fruit for canning as it takes
less time. If the fruit is carefully
packed, there will be little floating.
Wash and clean the fruit, peeling
and coring, slicing and stoning when
necessary. Pack into sterile jars
and attach the lid, using manufac-
turers' directions.
