CIENTIST, WHO GAVE
UP MILLIONS, DIES
avented Butterfat Testing Method;
Dr. Stephen Moulton Babcock, 87-
ear-old scientist, who invented the
tandard butterfat testing method
nd spurned the opportunity to be-
ome a millionaire by dedicating it
» the public, died July 2.
The inventor, whose method of
etermining milk’s butterfat content
as been the basis of building up
airy herds and grading milk
aroughout the world, was busy at
cientific explorations almost up to
he hour of his death.
“The test is not patented” were
ae words Dr. Babcock used in an-
ouncing his test to the world. He
efused to benefit personally by the
ivention and deeded it to dairy-
en everywhere.
The Babcock test brought an end
> the sale of “watered” milk to
reameries, enabled dairymen every-
there to determine the worth of
ach cow in their herds, and estab-
shed a milk standard of inestimable
alue to hospitals, sanitariums and
hysicians.
A neighbor who went to the Bab-
ock home found his body lying on
se floor. He had died early in the
ight .

makes the whole dining room look
more refreshing and stimulates the
appetite. One can get by with very
simple food if it is daintily served
on the right sort of table and in the
proper setting.

In connection with the red label

would appreciate it if you would
please change the name, however,
on the label to M. L. Gray, Jr.
With reference to this request of
c e in the name of the subscrib-
er, I might add that this little fel-
low, now about one year old, is the
fourth generation of his immediate
family who have been successively,
and, I think, practically continuous-
ly subscribers to The Watchman,
starting with his great grandfather,
Mr. John L. Gray, and later his
grandfather, M. A. T. Gray
Yours very truly
M. L. GRAY
We fancy that few of our sub-
scribers are in the unique position
that young Mr. Gray now occupies.
Certainly he is the Watchman's baby
and that thought turns our mind to
Scripture. Being it's baby he leads
all others in the matter of advance
payment, for his subscription is
marked up to 1938. It is meet that
“a little child shall lead them.” It
would be meat, for us, however, if
some of our delinquents would fol-
low him.
WARNING TO SEA SHORE
MOTORING VISITORS
Local motorists who contemplate
visits to the seashore are warned by
the Keystone Automobile Club to be
careful about their driving. Due to
numerous accidents, strict enforce-
ment campaigns have been inaugu-
rated, and the wise motorist is he
who keeps his speed down and his
eye on the traffic signs.
A maximum speed limit of 25
miles an hour is insisted on in At-
lantic City, Ventnor, Margate, Long-
port and Ocean City. The motorist
who exceeds this speed is almost
certain, according to the Club, to
find himself facing a magistrate.
In Ocean City, the “Stop Street”
law is rigidly enforced. As these
signs appear on all cross town streets
from the ocean to the bay, motor-
ists are urged to be vigilant in their
observance. It is not sufficient mere-
ly to slow down, the Club warns.
Cars must be brought to a full stop
before crossing the intersections.
The Legal Department of the Key-
stone Club is advised by the Bureau
of Motor Vehicles that the campaign
against illegal lights and “one-eyed”
cars will continue throughout the
summer. Highway patrolmen are
to show leniency to drivers
of “one-eyed” cars who carry spare
‘headlight bulbs. Motorists who show
their good faith in this manner are
permitted to replace the burned out
bulbs and allowed to proceed. These
who do not take precaution against
failure of their lighting equipment
are not considered entitled to this
courtesy.
AMERICAN LIFE IN 1889
In the April Mercury, Menken viv-
idly describes American life in 1889.
He writes:
“There was a porcelain spittoon in
every decent American parlor, and
casters still lingered on dinner ta-
bles. The bathroom in the house Iin-
fested was floored with pine, and
the bathtub was a long walnut
chest lined with zinc. On the floors
in the winter were heavy Brussels
carpets with designs suggesting the
ravings of John McCuliough in the
madhouse. Haircloth was going out,
but the velvets and brocades that
replaced it were ten times worse. A
crescent shaped bone-dish stood be-
side every dinner plate. A pleasant
present to an elderly gentleman
was a gold toothpick with a ring on
the handle to attach to his watch-
chain. There was not a single show-
er bath in all America.
“I wore a polo cap to school and
heavy flannel underwear, and travel-
ed on a horse-car. Every winter I
had five or six bad colds. The school-
room I frequented was heated by a
stove under the mantelpiece, and
the boy who sat next to it fried
every day. A business men’s lunch
consisting of soup, a meat dish, two
vegetables, a piece of pie and a cup
of coffee, cost a quarter.”
Contrast that cultural set-up with
the technology displayed at the “Con-
necticut Yankee” film.
As chicks grow their capacity
for food increases, so more hopper
ce should be provided, say State
jConege poultry specialists.
For informal use, gay colors and
“a Dip in the , coarser weaves add interest to lunch-
eons and dinners. Basque linen sets
come in daring reds, blues and black.
Czechoslovakian luncheon sets are
always a happy choice, and handker-
chief linen in pastel es, edged
with lace, look cool and lovely
against the soft gleam of richly
waxed wood.
One way to prevent scratches and
marks from heat and water on your
best table is to rub the surface with
a liquid wax.
And don't forget that salad knives
are now correct—good news for the
man of the house—and are used at
the discretion of the hostess.
—A supper in the open! What
tastes better? Nor do you need to
worm your way through nerve-
rac traffic to enjoy such a
luxury if you have a porch or a gar-
den plot. Nothing is more relaxing
to business-worn nerves in summer
than the final meal of the day in the
open. Too, it encourages leisurely
eating and complete enjoyment of
the meal about which Americans
know so little.
If porch suppers are repeated fre-
quently in your household you will
quickly learn how to collect those
things necessary for your table set-
up and consequently save yourself
many steps.
Here a tea wagon is almost indis-
pensable. But if you do not own
one buy a couple of large natural
straw color Japanese trays. These
are firmly made and have a large
carrying capacity.
On one tray place all the silver,
pepper and salt shakers, tumblers
and napkins—and remember that
paper napkins minimize labor. If
it is a plate of cold cuts and salads
ur plate can be served in the
itchen—which is another way of
saving labor and steps.
The shops are showing attractive
and inexpensive linen luncheon sets
which are very appropriate and color-
ful for the porch supper table. Some
of the smartest come out of Czecho-
Slovakia, and more recently the im-
rters have collected some
ovely ones in Russia.
But we are getting away from the
subject of food-—you say. No, in-
deed. And because it is so import-
ant to the success of a porch supper
with or without company, here is a
ready-to-serve menu for you.
—On a hot afternoon when you
are tired it pays to eat something
sweet-—cake, candy, ice cream-—or
to drink a sweet beverage. It is
amazing how quickly this will revive
one. Sugar in any form supplies
quick nourishment and overcomes
fatigue.
This food product is not alone good
in itself. It is good also in encour-
aging us to eat many other foods
we vitally need by making them
more palatable. Essential foods
which are the vehicles or carriers of
roughage, mineral salts and vitamins
are improved with the addition of a
bit of sweet.
When sugar is added to acid foods,
such as fruits, it modifies their flavor,
and it increases the flavor in bland
foods. Many vegetables are im-
proved in flavor by sugar. Various
meats and sauces are made richer
in flavor and more appetizing in ap-
pearance when a small amount of
sugar is used.
For the convenience of the house-
wife the sugar companies have put
this product on the market in five
forms—namely granulated, cut loaf,
brown, confectioners’ and powdered
sugar. Each has a specific use and
place in the kitchen and on the table.
The most important or extensively
used is granulated sugar. In bat-
ters and doughs it is a standby. Mor
this purpose always select a fine
rather than a coarse grain, as the
‘fine-grained sugar gives a smoother
and more velvety mixture. This is
because it dissolves more quickly
than the coarse-grained. If your
supply of sugar seems coarse, crush
it with your rolling pin.
Thick, creamy icings and luscious
candies contain the important sugar
ingredient.
Be careful to dissolve it complete-
ly before the boiling point is reach-
ed. Undissolved sugar may crystal
ize the
too, the mixture must not be jarred,
stirred or beaten before it has cool-
ed, and it must be kept free of any
foreign substance.
Granulated sugar is used in mer-
ingues, in beverage syrup and for
seasoning vegetables. By

—Conspicuous wood checks or
cracks show clearly that the wood
is no longer receiving sufficient pro-
tection, even though the coating as
a whole is apparently intact. If the
wood is repainted promptly when
wood checks begin to appear, it can
be protected indefinitely from weath-
ering.
