Glass, Diamonds Rival,
Once Measure of Wealth
Mix sand and lime and soda to-
gether, cook by a hot fire, and the
diamond’s rival—glass—is made. In
sparkle and color, glass is similar
enough to diamonds to be much
used in imitation of them. And if
clear white sand were as scarce
as diamonds, gl=ss crnaments might
very well be as precious as the jew-
els.
At one time glass was very valu-
able, indeed, and a man’s wealth
was measured by the number of
glass windows he had in his dwell-
ing. And though diamonds are
much harder and much more valu-
able, glass has become one of the
most useful of modern products.
Without it, many industries could
not exist, and our daily lives would
be entirely changed.
For many things, from window
panes to bottles and from eyeglasses
to the finest microscope and camera
lenses, glass is indispensable. With-
out window panes we would live in
darkened rooms as our ancestors
did. Without bottles and jars, medi-
cines and , serves would be
scarcer. Without lenses, many of
us would have to forego even the
joy of good eyesight. And as for the
distant stars and microscopic ani-
mals and plants, they would still be
quite ufiRnown to us as they were to
ancient people.
Window glass is a simple kind of
glass. Its three ingredients, white
quartz sand, lime and soda, are
mixed together in huge earthen pots
and melted by a very hot flame.
When finally the whole mass has
melted together, the opaque sub-
stances which were placed in the
pot change into clear transparent
glass, through which light may eas-
ily pass.
Corpuscles, Not Plasma,
Determine Type of Blood
Blood plasma is simply blood with
the corpuscles removed. The pres-
ent technique, which reduces it to
powder form for convenience and
preservation, is less than a year
old. A unit contains enough plas-
ma for a transfusion, with the re-
quired accessories—including dis-
tilled water (with which the plasma
is mixed), rubber tubing and
needles. The Red Cross takes blood
from volunteer donors and has han-
dled 11,000 in the New York district
alone.
Blood taken from donors is refrig-
erated and sent to a laboratory,
where it is tested for contamination
or disease. Then the corpuscles are
removed by centrifugal action. That
leaves a clear, straw-colored liquid
which “matches” all types of blood
—because the corpuscles, not the
plasma, determine the type. The
human body can make up a cor-
puscle-deficiency far more quickly
than it can supply plasma. The
liquid plasma is quick-frozen and
dehydrated in a vacuum. The re-
#ulting powder is ready for use at
any time by mixing with sterile wa-
ter and it will keep for at least five
years. Sealed in flasks, it readily
may be packed without wasting
space and shipped anywhere.
Faith and Pilgrims
In scanning the pages of Ameri-
can history there stand out individ-
ulals and groups as having exempli-
fied a full faith in the protection and
guidance of divine Providence. This,
coupled with unconquerable courage
and unswerving fortitude, made pos-
sible the establishing of the early
settlements of the country. None will
deny that prominent among these
groups were the Pilgrims, who came
to the New world to escape condi-
tions which constricted their chosen
way of worship and to establish a
community wherein worship could
be carried on in accordance with
the dictates of conscience, without
persecution and without domination.
In the experience of these hardy
pioneers there inhered a fullness of
faith, a spiritual quality which has
too often been lost sight of in the
more than three centuries which
have passed since their advent upon
New England's forbidding shores. It
was: this quality of intrepid faith in
Providence to guide and protect the
faithful, to shield and care for those
obedient to the divine Will, which in-
spired the great adventure.
Potatoes on Vines
Potatoes now grow above the
ground on vines in Roswell, N. M.
L. B. Boellner, jeweler and amateur
horticulturist, reported a new vege-
table by crossing potatoes with to-
matoes. The hybrid plant, he said,
produces potatoes on a vine above
the ground. “I don’t have to dig
for 'em like other people do,’’ he said.
“But there's one catch. So far my
biggest potato-tomato is the size of
a marble. But next year, in the
second generation, they'll be big-
ger.” Boellner said the tiny pota-
toes grow in clusters on the green
tomato-like vine, “I'll add a water-
melon for size if they don't get
bigger next year,” he said.
Dolly Madison, Hostess
Dolly Madison acted in this ca-
pacity. As a young widow Dolly
Payne Todd married Congressman
James Madison who became secre-
tary of state in 1801. This made his
wife an important social figure and
since President Thomas Jefferson
was a widower he frequently asked
Mrs. Madison to preside as hostess
at the White House during his two
terms. In 1809 her husband be-
came President and served two
terms.

PARTIALLY RIPE
TOMATOES SAVED
Timely Picking and Care
Preserves Tomato Crop.
By LEE A. SOMERS
(Extension Vegetable Specialist,
University of Illinois, College
Of Agriculture.)
Thousands of bushels of tomatoes
which go to waste each autumn be-
cause the earlier frosts come be-
fore the later set of fruits has had
time to ripen fully could be saved
if picked and cared for properly.
These early frosts catch tomatoes
in all stages of growth and ripen-
ing. Some are nearly ripe, and
some are half-red, pink-blue, white-
nosed, while some are still grass-
green.
When the first frosts are coming,
growers should pick the tomatoes
and store them in a basement or
some other place safe from frost
where they can be spread out to
mature,
The grass-green tomatoes will
never ripen and should be used in
making chow-chows and piccalillies
of various kinds and pickled toma-
toes in various forms. If not used
in a few days, they will shrivel
and become worthless.
The nearly ripe, half-red, pink-
blue and white-nosed tomatoes will
complete the ripening processes in
the order named, and in so doing
will lengthen the tomato season
about three weeks. The nearly ripe
specimens will ripen fully with nor-
mal color, flavor and texture over
a period ranging from a few days
to a week or more. The half-red
tomatoes will ripen to a nearly
normal red color, a fair flavor and
only slightly rubbery texture in 10
days or two weeks. The pink-blue
and white-nosed specimens will
ripen yellow-red, and with poorer
flavor and a rubber texture, char-
acteristics of artificially ripened to-
matoes. Some of them will need to
be discarded because they are
shriveled.
If frost has already killed the tén-
der vines and leaves, it is still pos-
sible to salvage that part of the
crop which has had some protection
from the vines and leaves.
Electricity Boosting
Farmers’ Efficiency
Electricity, a powerful and
relatively new tool on the farm,
is speeding the efficiency of farm-
ers in the current drive to
sirengthen national defense.
Many farmers have been using
this servant in their work for the
past five or six years. They are
now broadening its use.
Others who have used it in only
a small way for household pur-
poses are applying ‘it to farm
jobs and finding. it the easiest,
quickest, and cheapest way of
doing their larger chores.
In dairying, it milks the cows,
cools the milk, pumps the water,
grinds the feed, heats the water,
and -sterilizes the utensils. On
the poultry farm, it broods chicks.
the drinking fountain, lights
the laying house, grinds the feed
and pumps the water.
For the truck grower, it heats
the plant bed, pumps. water for
‘irrigation, operates’ a' spray
pump, provides refrigeration and
ice at marketing time, operates
a grader, a washer, a sacker, and
a loading meachine, and in the
case of sweet potatoes, sugplies
heat for curing and storing.
Cross-Cut Wood Saw
And Motor for $25
“It saws while you split” is sug-
gested as the idea behind the cross-
cut wood saw driven hy a quarter-
horsepower electric motor designed
by H. L. Garver and Paul G. May,
U. S. department of agriculture en-
gineers engaged in rural electrifica-
tion research. Material for the out-
fit costs about $25 they estimate, in-
cluding the motor. The bureau of
agricultural chemistry and engi-
neering has mimeographed the plan
for distribution to those interested.
Wood is still the mainstay for fuel
on many, N not most, farms. The
cross-cut saw operated by two men
is still in common use. The circular
saw either requires a considerable
investment for an engine or large
motor or a charge for custom saw-
ing. A man exerts about one-tenth
horsepower on such work and the
engineers reasoned that a quarter
horsepower motor might be substi-
tuted to operate the saw. It has
automatic shut-off devices.
Dust Livestock
Lice on livestock in the winter
can best be controlled with a dust-
ing powder of some kind.
One effective mixture is one part
of pyrethrum to three parts of cheap
flour. Another combination is one
part of derris powder to three to
five parts of talc or flour.
These mixtures have proved effec-
tive against sheep lice and ticks.
Use a small hand duster to give
quick and thorough coverage of the
infested animals.
