Agency, Inc.)
According to a newspaper re-
port, the DPS in Italy, who are
soon to be in Palestine, are
troubled about the shortage of
women. After all, one needs a
home for a homeland and bach
elOr may have a room, an apart
ment, club, but never a home.
Palestine, it appears, suffers from
a stringent shortage of the raw
material out of which to make
wives. Once upon a time, in the
vicinity of Palestine, when there
was this dearth, there was a way
of putting man to sleep, taking
out one of his ribs and fashiOning
a woman as a helpmate, but this
secret has been lost. Science has
never been able to duplicate it.
This shortage of women is not
peculiar to Palestine per Sc. 1t
is characteristic of all pioneer
settlements. In the days of the
California gold rush, the miners
looked upon a woman as far more
precious than any of the gold they
dug; work in mine would stop
when a skirt appeared. In Alaska
today, I am told, to be an unmar-
ried woman is equal to being a
prince. Any girl can have the
choice of half a dozen dates any
time of the day.
For any girl who is famished
for love, 1 can commend Palestine.
1 would not fain draw any over
idealized picture of Palestine. 1t
is not Utopia. There are many
things which the western world
has which Palestine and the entire
Near East may well cOvet. In
fact, as everyone ought to know
by this time, the Near East as
a whole, is under-privileged as far
as physical possessions go. Per-
haps that is why it is good for
love. Heinrich Heine once said
that the reasons the Germans
were good in philosophy was that
they had nothing else. Palestine
has not much of the things assO-
ciated with wealth and perhaps
therefore it is rich in spirit and
love. Remember that almost the
whole gamut of love derives from
Palestine. Love of man for his
neighbor; and love of God: both of
these ideas stem from Palestine.
It may be said that these two
loves are something quite differ
ent from the love of man for
woman. There are differences, of
course, but love is, after all, love.
We get the basis for the great re-
ligious hymns from Palestine and
also the basis of this more earth
ly love that our moving pictures
and popular songs are always
telling us about. After all, the
most eternally popular love
song is not, 20 You Great Big
Beautiful Dolr' or "Baby Face"
but the Song of Songs, which will
go on being known long after the
present hits of the juke boxes are

Vanilla Bean Of Tropics .
Remains Flavor FavOFife

Despite the much lower cost Of
most synthetic vanilla extracts, the
natural bean. vanilla has resumed
its prewar role at the top of the
flavor market. The little pod of the
worlds only orchid that works
for a living holds aromatic extras
not contained in vanilla flavor taken
from a lump of coal
The word vanilla is from the Span
ish. and means little pod" In each
of the now widely scattered species
of the vanilla plant, the little pod is
preceded by a dainty yellow bloom
which leaves no doubt that the plant
belongs to the orchid family.
Like rubber, quinine, and the
white potato, the vanilla bean
moved to the Old World from an
origin in the new. Central Amer
ica's Aztec Indians sought it in their
dense jungles, to flavor chocolate in
pre-Columbian times.
Spaniards took the plant home to
Europe, from where it eventually
reached the eastern tropics. It's
progress was greatly advanced a !
century ago when a Negro slave be-
gan hand pollination of the flowers on
the island of Reunion.
In cultivation, the vanilla plant is
started from cuttings of vines of de-
termined hardness and bean quail
ity. It is trained to grow on cross
posts or on living trees. Toward the
close of the flowers six blooming
weeks, it is hand-pollinated, then
wits, and six to ten pods develop.
They take five or six weeks to reach
the full-size, unripe state Of readi-
ness for curing.

Residences of Dogs

There's no trouble keeping 'em
down on the farm-if you're talking
about dogs, according to the results
of a nationwide survey Just COM
pleted There are 900, 900 more dogs
on farms than in city apartments
and homes, the survey indicates.
The canine census figures were re-
leased by American Can company.
following a national survey to To-
cate the residences of dogs. The re-
port disclosed that about $4,000
farm pets already have been re-
turned to a canned food diet, and
an additional 7O5,OOO will receive if
soon, the owners stated. Some indi-
cation Of thu feeding problems was
found in the fact that over $500
farms have at least IL dogs each.
The survey also showed that only
one out of every ten metropolitan
families have dogs, while two out of
every three farm families have at
lcaet one dog.

. HarrOwing Has Progressed

The farmer of ancient and medi-
eval times narrowed or pulverized
the clods Of earth stirred up by his
pillow by drawing bundles of tree
branches over the field, thus smooth
ing the seed bed before planting.
Later the branches were supplant-
ed by ox-drawn triangular wooden
frames through which extended
rows of pegs. Modern harrows are
scientifically designed implements
which break up the clods by means
OF steel teeth or by rows of steel
discs. They accomplish in an hour
the equivalent of days of hand har-
rowing. Under primitive cultivation
methods, man with a hoe labored
long to remove weeds and stir the
soil around his crops. The first
horse drawn cultivator, invented
over 100 years ago, permitted the
farmer to cultivate two acres in a
day. With the modern tractor-drawn
cultivatcr he can easily work from
80 to IS acres of his land in a nor
NAL working day.

The eventful ten years of medi-
cine just past are only beginning to
be understood in regard to the rev.
dictionary changes they have
brought into the practice of medi-
cine. Entirely apart from the now
well-known and widely used anti
biotics and sulfonamides, there has
come into the medical horizon a
large group of natural and synthetic
chemicals affecting the hormonal,
enzymic, and synthesizing mocha
nisms of the living body in health
and in disease. Among them are:
vitamin K. caffeine, fuorescein
sodium, benadryl, mecholyl chic
ride, metrazol, placental extract,
dicoumarol, curare, histamine, pyr-
ibenzamine, neostigmine, pitressin
and gonadotropin. Also bismuth
paste, barium sulfate, and numer-
GUS other chemicals are used in
x-ray work. These named drugs are
but few samples which are replac-
ing the old in the modern doctors

Milk Products Provide =
Very GomnIaia prnfain

Scientific activity during the war
has resulted in new emphasis on
the value of the protein found in
milk and many milk products.
In study of proteins, scientists
have found that proteins are made
up of amino acids. Certain of these
amino acids are known as essential
amino acids because they are in
dispensable to animal life and
growth and cannot be manufactured
within the body. Hence, they must
be included in the diet.
When a protein contains all the
amino acids essential to life and
growth of an animal it is known as
a complete protein.
Lactalbumen, one of the proteins
found in whey and many other milk
products is a complete protein.
Amino acids, produced from the
lactalbumen Of cheese whey, were
used to save the lives of thousands
of starving people in Europe at the
close of the war. These people were
so badly undernourished they could
not digest enough food to regain
their strength. The nourishment of
amino acids, which require no d.
gestion and are readily absorbed
into the blood stream and tissues.
saved their lives.

A little over so years ago, most
fat steers went to market on the
hoof, driven by the producers, TAX
ing weeks of time as well as trou-
BILE and inconvenience. First, the
settlers drove their market cattle
over the mountains to market on
the Atlantic coast. Later, as the
people moved west with the open
ing of new land, the railroads de-
veloped, and the plains became
cattle raising area Those were the
days of the trail drives when great
herds of cattle were driven to the
railhead. Today it's a simple mat
ter to move cattle from one ranch
to market in high speed trucks or
by train. A streamlined marketing
system makes it possible for the
livestock grower to sell his cattle
and receive cash for them the same
day. It's all a matter of progress,
of improvements, of streamlining
business through Standardization Of
practices and speeding up move

Troy Water Supply

The municipal water supply has
been a conversation piece for most
home owners and residents for the
past few years. The "haves" and
the have nots" have argued it pro
and con, sometimes heatedly and
at other times calmly but always
determinedly. Bearing the brunt of
it all has been our Water Commits
sioner Harry Ford, who apparently
unpreturbed, goes about doing his
work, replacing old pipes, answer
ing calls and dispensing advice in
his own inimitable manner.
Mr.. Ford states that this year
O'Brien creek, our source of water
supply is higher than ever and
flood waters have washed away por-
tons of the structure of the dam.
It is his belief that when high water
GOES down there will not be suffi-
oient water to maintain the level re-
quired to fill the intake pipes This
will cause a shortage of water in
town. He has reported this to the
mayor and councilmen and they are
doing what they can to prevent this
shortage. Hoping a grant or loan
from the R. F. c. might be negotiated
they have applied to headquarters
for such They have been told to
contact the field man ]. R. Ellis at
Boomers Ferry. He had just left for
parts of Washington, and it will be
latter part of this week before he
returns. Then he will come to Troy.
In the earlier engineers estimate
the cost of such dam newly built
would be $4,000.
Twice before this present dam has
broken because of high water, and
on each occasion it has been re-
paired.
