THE AMERICAN WAY
THE DANGER OF GIVING

Giving is one of the most
dangerous as well as most bless
ed of human gestures. Gifts tend
cred lavishly and without
strings" more often than not,
become a curse to donor and re-
cipient alike. On the other hand,
if rendered as a necessary ad-
junct to greater achievement on
the part of the recipient through
his own efforts, they become a
blessing of far-reaching con-
sequences.
In all history no nation has
so dangerously and recklessly
given of its resources as has
America. Because of this, we
have fostered a preponderance of

Tastier, Tenderer Meats.
The chemists are leading the
way to tastier and tenderer meats,
declared DR.. F. E. Deatherage, bio
chemist of Ohio State University.
Efforts in the past have been to
produce prize live stock with little
consideration of the eating quail

In all meats, he pointed out,
there is substance called muscle

major effect on tenderness. Meat

groups of long. slender. thin
walled cells filled with this GEL

atine-like substance. When q
steak is cooked this muscle fiuio
coagulates and hardens. Usually
the higher the temperature the
greater the coagulation and, tc
some extent. the tougher the
meat. A long period of cooking
however, has some tenderizine
effect.

Nature. has developed these
chemicals. he said. through mil
lions of years of experimenting
and man now is in a position to
produce synthetic substances OF
the same general order which will
have even greater potency.
The tree chemicals, DR.. Erdt-
man said, are found only in the
heart wood, or hard central part
OF the trunk. This Is often highly
resistant to all sorts of pests in
contrast to the sap wood. His
own studies have been carried out
on expresses. pines, jumpers and
cedars.
Besides the prospects of new
insecticides, he said, the tree
chemicals may help preserve
wood.
