Peroxide in New Role

Peroxide, the weak hair rinse, has
been transformed into a tremen-
dously concentrated power source,
and into an important new indus
trial chemical. Many aspects of
concentrated peroxide are still I'M
der the wraps of military secrecy.
Enough has been released, however,
10 indicate the high potential of this
material. The Germans did much
of the development work on con-
centrated peroxide. Though an in
nocent looking liquid, peroxide
powered Nazi supersubs, and the
German rocket plane, the Comet,
was powered with peroxide, which
enabled it to climb more than five
and one-half miles in two minutes.
In addition to the tremendous
speed there were other advantages.
No ignition system was needed.

Lightning Photographed
in Interests Of Science

With the hope of making new in
roads in the battle against man
most elusive natural foe, scientists
of General Electric company con-
Quoted their eighth summer of light
ming research high atop New York S
Empire State building this past sea-
son. Complete Photographic rec
ords and electrical measurements
were obtained on all lightning
strokes striking the National Broad
casting companys antenna atop
the building
By scientific analysis of such rec
ords, new information has been
gained, which will contribute further
to control of the effects of lightning.
Such information also is useful for
application in the laboratory, where
artifcially-produced lightning is
used to test electrical apparatus.
Photographs of each stroke were
taken from two different locations
at right angles to the building. This
permitted obtaining three-dimcn-
sional view of the stroke and de-
termining its exact length Photo
graphs of the lightning strokes are
being used to study physical char
acteristics Of the strokes and to
measure intensity Of light in the
stroke.
The Empire State building was
chosen for research, because it had
been struck by lightning many
times each summer, often as many
as IL times during one storm and
as many as 48 times during an
entire summer.

Art Of Dyeing Traced Back
To as Early as 1000 B, C,

Art of transferring color has been
very long history. Aboriginal men
might have crushed a berry and
noticed that the deep stain on his
fingers lasted several days. Or he
might have had a similar expert
ence with a piece of water-soaked
bark, a crushed flower or a mineral
stream rich in iron
At any rate, we do know that as
early as $4,000 B. c., man knew a
good deal about transferring color
to the walls of his cave. Ancient
Egypt's sarcophagi of the year
1000 B. c. show exquisite colors,
and garment dyed with indigo,
dating from $500 B. c., has been
found in Thebes. Thenceforth each
of the dominant civilizations of an
tiquity developed further the use of
fabric dyes derived from vegeta-
bic and mineral sources.
It wasn't until 1856 that dyeing
began to be released from its de-
tendency upon vegetable and min
eral sources. In that year an Eng
lish student, named William Henry
Perkin, discovered that aniline de-
rived from coal tar could be chem
ically treated to produce beautiful
and lasting colors.
Today's dyes are the fruit of sci
entific progress. Born of modern
chemistry, they are easier to make
and use, last longer, are less cost
ly and offer a much greater variety
of colors than their historical pred.

Why Dills Get Hollow

THE REASON MRS. M. S. j. has
trouble with her dill pickles being
hollow is that she is using slicing
cucumbers. The real pickle cuke
will not do that. I found that out
years ago when I made tiny sweet
about u inch of stem should be left
On. All the pickles you buy have it.
Cucumbers that are too large are not
good either, as they + more likely
to become hollow.
Dill pickles: l cup salt, l cup vine
gar, Is cups water. Mix salt and
water. Boil and add vinegar. After
this cools a little, put a sprig OF
dill in the bottom of the jar. Pack
cukes in. Add a little more dill, also
a piece of alum the size of a pea in
each jar. Pour over the brine and
seal. Cukes the size of a mans
thumb make the best pickles.
keep a jar of this brine ready at
ali times, then as you get a jar OF
SNhCS Joo Soa JUot Pun IHC biAA1C
over them. If you like garlic you
can add a button. I have never had
q jar spoil. The cover will bulge but
the pickles will be good. They will
be ready in six weeks. If the brine
looks milky after the pickles are
made, they are all right as that just
ome from the cukes working. Use
a good grade of salt. Seal in Or
two-quart jars.
Packing Tomatoes
When you put tomatoes away for
the winter they keep better also If
a little of the stem is left on. I al
ways cut my tomatoes from the
plant. Wrap them in paper and pack
in boxes not too deep and put IN q
dark place.

Homemade Bread
That's for Us

You wonder how many bake their
own bread. I wonder, too, and think
not so very many. l bake mine and
know my neighbor bakes hers.
I bake once a week and use dry
yeast and a wood stove and turn out
good bread. I bake both white and
graham and it seems not quite COM
plete unless I have a nice pan of
cinnamon rolls, and believe me these
don't last long, especially if the
grandchildren are around.
Well l remember my mother bak-
ing bread and using potato water
and yeast and then saving starter
each time instead of yeast cakes. I
used the same for a number of years,
but with the dry yeast we can start
it and bake it the same day.
I love TO bake bread and think
the homemade bread nicer than
bakers. One of my fondest memories
of mother is her huge bakings of
lovely loaves of bread. She baked
so pounds of floor a week. You see
there were nine of. US children. She
always let las have hot bread and
butter, and how good!
Just thought I would let you
know / always enjoy the home page
SO much. - Mrs. o. E. K. Fergus
County.
With Raisins. Molasses
Just finished reading your article
On baking homemade bread. I GER
tainly do agree with you. What is
better than four or five nice loaves
of homemade bread!
l bake my own bread, white
white bread and graham bread also,
which we like very much. Now
adays almost every housewife runs
to the store for a loaf of bread. My
husband has to be on a diet. l bake
graham bread with raisins in it and
made with molasses. He seems to
like it. So I am sending you my
recipe for it.
Raisin graham bread: 3 cups
water, 1Aa cups milk, 2 cakes dry
yeast, l tablespoon sugar, 2 table
spoons salt, 2 cups whole ~raisins, 4
tablespoons molasses, 3 tablespoons
melted shortening, 2 cups graham
flour, liz cups white flour. Bring
water and milk 10 a boil. Cool to
lukewarm. Dissolve yeast in a little
water with a teaspoon of sugar i'm
it. Add sugar, salt and molasses to
liquid and part of the flour. Beat
well. Add the raisins and rest od
flour. Knead smooth. Let rise. Punch
down. Let rise again, then form
into loaves. Let rise until double
bake in a moderate oven 40 minutes
or until done. Makes 3 large loave:
or 4 small ones.
Dutch cookies: 2 cups white sugar
l cup butter, 4 eggs, 2A teaspoon
baking powder, 4 cups flour. Flavol
as you like with lemon and vanill;
mixed or nutmeg. Add no milk o
water as nothing but the eggs az,
required. Chill. Roll out and cut a
liked. Bake quickly in hot oyen.-
