Hops have to be | kept nice and cool to preserve their aroma, which |: is something, I bet, you never thought of before.
There are a lot of things about a brewery you’ | never thought of before. You go in with a notion. | | such as it is, that beer is made of barley, corn | grits, sugar, water, yeast and, maybe hops. You | come out talking in terms of wort, malt and | mash — things you couldn't pick up in a hun- { dred years standing in front of a bar. I might as well tell you about them. For two | reasons: (1) Because you've always wanted some- | | body to tell you what wort is, and (2) because | { you can’t do much with wort without knowing | | something about .malt and mash, too.
Malt, is grain, usually barley, partially germi- { nated and dried for brewing. Wort is the liquid | which at a certain stage before fermenting is { separated from the solid part of the grain and
| which, after fermentation, becomes beer. Mash lis the mixture of ground grain left after ‘the : brewer gets done with it. Horses and hogs ‘like \ mash, and so do pigeons. : ||. That's why University Park hasn't as many | 3 Pigeons as it used to have. Some people think ithe pigens have left Indianapolis, : but they | haven't. They're down at Lieber's brewery: tast= ing the mash, and I, for one, don't blame them.:
x ” ” : T ought to be pretty clear by this time that the art of brewing is something tied up with the science of fermentation. It is; and that brings up the subject of yeast. .. The yeast proved the most disappointing part .of my visit, probably, because I happen to be one of those brought up on the legend that brewer's yeast is directly descended from the time of the Pharaohs. - There isn't a particle of truth in it. There is even less truth in the legendxthat brewers, in order to keep the pedigree of yeast pure and impeccable, hold out a little yeast from each batch in order to propagate more yeast for the next brewing. Louis Pasteur, it appears, put an -end to that | 79 years ago; because ever since he discovered’ that yeast cells are the cause of fermentation | (and of beer, too), all the big breweries have

Y August, 1815, there was established near the present site of New Harmony, one of the
| oddest little colonies ever to grace. the wilds of Indiana. Every one has heard of New Harmony and Robert Owen, but there were Owen's predecessors, the Rappites.
They were Wurtemburg peasants who had eft the old country and for 10 years had lived n Economy, Pa. where they held all property
in common and practiced rigid celibacy. They were primitive Christians, practical Communists, and their leader was George Rapp, a six-foot patriarch who ruled the community in the most approved dictator style.
Rapp was at once prophet, priest and fuler.
He pretended to receive messages from the Angel Gabr iel, all favorable t6 his own ends of course, with Which he played on the vivid superstitions of his followers. He taught humility, prayer and

Landon jndicated in his Middlesex speech that he was in favor of prosperity. He said the remedy for unemployment is “real work at good wages.” Wages are regulated by the law of supply and demand. The exception is the power of labor to cut off the supply by organizaton. Mr. Landon said, “It is clear that limitation of production and the destruction of crops is not going to provide this kind of work, i. e. at good wages.” Why does he crab at ‘crop curtailing on the farm, and say nothing of pig killing in the manufacturing of all other commodities?

Studies made in various parts of the world indicate that brighter children generally are . taller and heavier than average children of the same age. This, of course, can not be taken to mean that big children necessarily are better than the smaller ones, since racial factors have a great deal to do with body development. It is possible, however, that the economic condition of the family able to send its children to college may have something to do with the development of these youngsters.

Politically neither Landon nor Roosevelt can alter the pattern of industry, which seeks profits at the expense of the consumer and labor. ~ The system simply will not work any other way.
