n & I COUNTY AGENT'S | COLUMN | M K (Purdue News Service) Remember to harden oft the plants in hotbeds and cold framer; before they are to be transplanted to the garden or field. Making 'he plants lijjrdy. tough, or accustomed to the outdoor conditions is essentia] for a good early crop of high producing vegetables. Hardening off is accomplished by withholding the water and providing plenty of ventilation. During the past week or ten days that the plants are in the frames, give them only water enough to keep them from wilting, and at the same time move the sash back. Plants should never be suddenly ex posed to unfavorable conditions such as cold air and dry soil, but should be permitted to be acclimated gradually to the new conditions. Cold frames and hotbeds that are

During most of the day he was on the bottom of the Delaware river, where he tested "synthetic air" for divers with which he hopes it will be possible to save underseas :afen from getting cramps.

STOCK SLUMP FAILS TO CUT TRAVEL CRAZE — Passport Department Prepares For Another Big Season By Joseph H. Baird. UP. Staff Correspondent. Washington, Mar. Ift. — <U.P> — I Stock markets may collapse, jobs ' may dwindle, but the eager Anter- ] lean tourist, it appeared today, still ] spends money inspecting queer corI tiers of the earth. Down in the state department passport office they are planning to increase their force of clerks. Spring is just around the corner, and soon scores of tourist-laden ships will sail for strange harbors, j Passport statistics show more Americans traveled abroad in 1930, de-, spite the depression, than in 1929. | Little Decrease Officials see little diminution so | far this year in the demand for. Uncle Sam's travel-cards. Last year 209,211 Americans received passports, as compared with I 193,372 in 1929. In both years our i citizens manifested a wider urge' to travel than in 1928 when pros-’ perity was moving along under full j steam. And more than ten times as many Americans wander abroad now than in the last post-war year, 1914, according to statistics. How much do Americans spend (When on a foreign jamboree? In 1 1929, the Commerce Department I estimates, they scattered $517,000.000 abont the globe, and in 1928, $516,000,000. The 1930 figure is not complete, but officials expect it to rival that of 1929. ‘•Went Tourist" The depression, however, has had' one effect on travel. The Com- I tnerce Department, delving into thousands of pleasure and business j trips found more persons “went! tourist" tn 1930 than in /earlier! years, when first-class accommcda-; tions Were in wide demand. Nevertheless. Commerce Depart ] ment researchers were surprised. to find, spending “per class” was, m-.-c.a frear last year than the one! before. In the first two months of this | year the State Department issued about 2,000 fewer passports than | in January and February, 1929. | But this is explained in part by a] recent ruling prolonging the life] of passports.

NEWEST SOLDER STRONGER THAN METALS IT JOINS Invention To Increase Safetv In Airplane Construction Pittsburgh, Mar. 19. (U.R) - A solder stronger than the metals it will join, has been developed by Peter Soffel, president of the Pittsburgh Metals Purifying Corporation, after three years of experiments and tests. Soffel claims the new solder will add to the safety of airplane and Zeppelin construction and increase the demand for general aluminum products. Tests. Soffel says, have proved that his solder joins aluminum and other "white" metals, more firmly than a single, whole piece. White metals used in the manufacture of door handles and other parts of automobiles; zinc ware; magnesium and aluminum alloy products can be joined with the new solder as well as can aluminum, it is claimed. Soffel says he is prepared to place the solder on the market under a trade name. Burke F. Read, general manager of the company, collabirtated with Soffel in the last 12 months of the laboratory work. The solder Is applied with a hot i iron, or with an open flame, and reI quires no acid or fluxes, it is I claimed. Local soldering experts have approved the new solution, Soffel explained, in experiments carried out lin local industrial plants. o Viewpoints of History History, as Voltaire thought, “Is | little more than a picture of hu i num crimes and misfortunes." and Gibbon held tlie same opinion, expressed in almost (he same words. ' The Intfer held that "the reign of I Antonins is marked by the rare ad vantage of furnishing very few Materials for history, which is In deed little more than the regis ter of the crimes, follies and mis fortunes of mankind." o Simple in Their Tastes To the pygmies of the Belgian I Congo tender roots are staples, j hut biros, small game, rodents or j caterpillars nre not objectionable 1 A dish of white ones Is prized highly, while a slice of raw ele phant meat makes n feast.
