S Vocational Education

Vocational education is of value not only to

farm boys, but also is preparing

in industry. The appended survey shows the

actual value of the courses: "Of the 226 boys who have

I more of vocational training in a particular trade, iand who are at work, 79 per cent are at work

in the .particular trade for which they were

trained. .This means, for the that if a boy was trained for the

he is at work in the machinist trade, and if he was trained for the printing trade he is now at

i work in the printing trade.

"In ten industrial courses, conducted by six j cities, all (100 per cent) of the boys who have I had one year or more of the vocational industrial ; course in high school, and who are at work, are

It does i not attempt to settU domestic troubles, nor to undertake exhaustive research on any subject. Write your question PjA'nly and briefly. Give full name and address and enclose two cents in stamps for return postage. All replies are sent direct to the inquirer. : Q. "What is the difference between jam, marmalade and butters? R. E. I). A. As a rule, only the small fruits of which the whole may be used are utilized in jam making. The fruit Is crushed in the juice no as to produce a horaegenous mixture. Butters arc more smooth and more mixed than jams. For this purpose fruits which contain a large proportion of fleshy material are used. Butters are further characterized by the frequent use of spices and other flavoring agents. Marmalades stand midway between jams and butters. Larger fruits than those for jams are used. Fruits whose pulp will not produce the smooth consistency desirable in a butter are used in marmalade making. By slight difference In preparation, the same fruit may make either a marmalade or a butter. For example, if peaches, are cooked until soft before adding the sugar, the resulting consistency is that of a butter.- -If the sugar Is added at the beginning of the operation the pulp Is preserved in small pieces rather than being reduced to a smooth paste. This results in a marmalade. Q. Has the term fait accompli any special significance in diplomatic language? F. A. K. A. Fait accompli, an accomplished fact, denotes in diplomacy an event that has happened and must be accepted or recognized as definite, however disagreeable. Q. Is the Alaska hair seal skin ever used for garments? W. A. T. A. Caps and slippers are often made of this humble fur. Q. From what kind of a turtle is tortise shell taken? B.S. A.

Grass Lore For Farmers Department of Agriculture Says World Has 6,000 Distinctive Species, But Only 60 Cultivated.

By FREDERICK J. HASKIX "WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 23. Grass is a subject of primary interest to farmers and urban dwellers who maintain lawns, but it is coming to be of more than incidental interest to a large number of people who are Strangers to the hayrake and the lawnmower. These are the golf players of the nation, and their name is legion. Golf has brought grass, into the lives of more people than any other one thing, save perhaps dairy farming and stock raising. Accordingly, C. V. Piper, one of the experts of the department of agricul ture, is assured of a wide audience when he discusses grass in one of the official publications of the department That his subject is a big one is indicated by the fact that there are some 6,000 distinctive species of grass in the world. However, only about 60 are important cultivated plants, ana not more thai 20 wild species are abundant or valuable in any one locality. One of the first things Mr. Pipe does is to explode the idea that Ken tucky blue grass originated in the state it has made famous, one or tnese days the world will be astounded to learn that the colonel also is not in digenous to Kentucky! "Kentucky blue grass is with the possible exception of timothy the most noted grass in America," says Mr. Piper. "Perhaps on account of the famous blue grass country in Kentucky the opinion prevails that this grass is a true native. Such, however, is not the case, and blue grass did not grow in Kentucky when Boone discovered that attractive region. Like most of our best cultivated grasses, blue grass is a native of the old World, where it occurs naturally over much of Europe and Asia. "It was brought over by the early colonists as one of the epecies con tained in mixed seeds, and like some of the others found the soil and cli mate conditions congenial. The name blue grass has been supposed to be due to the purplish color of the flowers, but there is good evidence that the name was first applied to Canada blue grass, which has bluish foliage, and was later transferred to the . green plant now called Kentucj blue grass. Found in Many States. "Kentucy blue grass Is well known for the beautiful lawns which it makes as well as for the highly nutrious pas turage which it furnishes. It occurs throughout the northern half of the United States, except- where the cli mate is too dry. In the mountains and on the Pacific coast lowlands it extends further southward. Seed of Kentucky blue grass is harvested mainly in Kentucky, but more or less in Missouri and Iowa also. Not everything that looks like grasps is grass, but grasses are easily dis tinquished from all "Dther plants by several peculiar characteristics. From the expert we leam that the roots of all, whether annuals of perennials, are slender and thread-like. The stems are jointed, usually cylindrical and commonly hollow, but solid in such species as corn and sorghum. In the bam boo and a few other grasses the stems are woody. The joint is called a node ' ,,.:. , and the part between the joints is an internode. The leaves are usually long and narrow, parallel veined, and are attached at the nodes, first on one side and then on the other, so that they are in two ranks. The lower part of the leaf encircles the stem as a sheath, while the upper portion, the blade, is more or less flattened. In some grasses the blades are folded, in others inrolled in the bud. Where the blades and the sheath join the texture and color are usually different, this joining s part being known as the collor. The flower clusters of grasses exhibit a great many forms and many grasses may at once be recognized by the forms of these clusters. Each branch appears from the base of an internode, but for the most part leaves or rudiments of leaves do not occur in the flower cluster. Most people do, not think of corn. rOlT.HS DISTURB SfHOOL WORK ' School teachers shoulil Rive the same advice to children who have coughs as this Florida teacher. "I recommended Foley's- Honey and Tar to the children in mv school who had the 'flu' and good results came whenever it was used," writes Mrs. L. Armstrong, Okeechobee, Florida.

in Terre Haute, writing to the wheat, oats, barley, rye, rice, sugarcane and the like as grass, but suci is their botanical classification-. On the other hand, the term grass is pop ularly applied to all green herbage on which cattle and other animals feed and this would include many plants which are not botanically related to the true grasses, such as the clovers, alfalfa, et cetera. The grasses furnis-i the principal food of both man and beast and are the foundations of agriculture. Singularly enough, the most import ant grasses, the cereals, are not known in the wild state and their cultivation extends so far back into antiquity that even their places of origin are unknown. Either their wild counterparts have become extinct, or the cereals have been so developed and changed by cultivation that their wild forms are no longer recognizable. Many Species In This Country. Altogether there are about 1,400 species of grass growing in the United States. In one state alone, Washing ton, some 275 species are found. Orig inally almost one-half the area of the United Stajes consisted of praires, the principal herbage of which was grasses, and the existence of this vast domain of grassland has never been fully explained, since it has been discovered that trees grow readily enough on these praires once they have been introduced there. Of all the hay grasses cultivated in United States, timothy is by far the most important, its acreage being four times as great as that of all the others put together, and equalling that of all hay plants, including clover and alfalfa. "Timothy had become the most im portant hay grass in the United States as early as 1807," says Mr. Piper, "and it has since held this position unchallenged. Its reputation as a feed depends upon its high palatability, combined with moderate nutritive val ue, so that it is practically impossible to injure an animal by over-feeding. "Redtop is the only grass of much prominence as a hay plant among th;.many grasses belonging to the genus Agrostis. It was early introduced into me American colonies. This grass has been known under many common names such as whitetop, florin, white bent and herd s grass, but as all of these names belong more properly to other grasses they should not be usea for redtop. It is a perennial grass, and matures at about the same time as timothy. "Bermuda grass is the most import ant pasture grass in the South, whero it shows marked preference for clay ey soils, but grows more or less abund antly on sandy soil. It occurs as fa north as Maryland, Kansas and the warmer valleys of Washington or Ore gon. In Virginia and Maryland where. it Is more troublesome as a weed than valuable as a forage it is commonly cauea wire grass. Other important cultivated grasses mentioned by Mr. Piper are orchard grass, carpet grass, Canada blue eras. tan meadow oat grass, meadow fes cue, foxtail millet, Rhoades grass Napier grass, sheep's fescue, red fes cue, para grass, Japanese millet, Ital lan rye grass Rhoad Island bent, Dal las grass and Sudan grass.

No. S09 Coin Balanced on Pin The performer offers to balance a coin, on its edge, on the point of a pin. This sounds impossible ; nevertheless, he does it. The drawing explains the secret. 1 Two forks are called in to assist in the accomplishment of the feat. The prongs of the forks are wedged together, and the coin is wedged in between the prongs. The coin may then be balanced on the point of the pin, the forks acting as counter-weights. It Is best to use a half dollar. If a silver dollar Is at hand, It will prove even more satisfactory. Ccpyrioht, latl, by Public Ledger Compmm Aft Dinner St e r ones He was a big, beetle-browed police captain. Old John Kineary, a second cousin, had a habit of waking up the cops on a certain beat and getting himself brought to the station house on one or another charge. "What's 'oor name?" boomed the captain one night, as two bluecoats held poor Kinneary up to the blotter rail. "You know my na'ame, responded poor John, in a brogue enriched by the evening's libations. "What's 'oor name?" thundered the captain. "I want it fur the record!" And so it went, the prisoner sparring with his cousin at every question. And so it was when it came to age. "How old are 'oo?" the captain shrieked, on the third attempt; and finally the answer came, "I'm ninetynine." Swiftly but majestically the blue giant got outside the rail, and his flashing right found the point of the cousin's jaw. "There!" muttered the captain, as he resumed his post. "Oo'll be a hundred when "oo wake up!" Rippling Rhymes By Walt Mason BUYING JUNK We spend too much for foolish things, for things we do not need; for Airedale pups and piston rings, for idle tales to read. Tired Father draws his weekly wage, and says to wife and kin, "Since blowing coin is all the rage come, let us blow it in. I may be broke when I am gray, like other shiftless skates, but while I live no man can say that I have tightwad traits. So, now, Miranda, don your lid, and children, come with me; along the village street we'll skid, and buy all things we see." Tired Father labors long and hard to earn the helpful scads; through weary days he renders lard, or fashions liver pads; through long, long hours he greases pigs for use at county fairs, or manufactures oakum wigs like that which grandma wears. And when he draws his week ly pay, all stained with honest sweat, he should to wife and kindred say, The bank's the one best bet. Just now you handed me some hints that you would shopping go, but I must sea your plans and prints before a cent you blow. I give you, wife, a silver dime, the children each a cent; there'll be no carnival of crime, no coin for doodads spent. In yonder bank I'll place my roll, -and when we're old, eftsoons, we will not freeze for lack of coal, or starve through dearth of prunes." Memories of Old Days In This Paper Ten Years Ago Today Albert J. Beveridge, Progressive candidate for governor, was to speak the following day at the Caliseum. Large delegations from the country districts had made arrangements to hear him, and hundreds of Richmond citizens were planning to take part in the reception. Progressives in Wayno county were anxious to hear Mr. Beveridge speak. lem of developing the best grasses for golf courses, but experts of the department of agriculture have assisted in experimental work in that line at the several country clubs around Wash ington. Golf courses need a heavy, springy turf for the fairways and a softer grass for the putting green that can be cultivated to a velvety smoothness. Great difficulty is experienced in getting grasses that will not burn out in dry hot weather, and crab grass is the bane of the green keepers. Just at present the Columbia Country Club at Chevy Chase, Md , seems to have come nearest the solu tion of the problem with a species ot bent grass for greens that holds its own under adverse weather conditions and always affords an admirable putting surface. Beavers destroy the fish productivity of many streams by building dams which make the water too warm to be congenial for cold water fishes and also block the fishes' way to the nat ural spawning places at the head waters. ounutiuiiHiittiuiitniRmniminnniiiHttiitHninitiiiitiiiiiunniintinnniiiiiiM" Before You Borrow See the I PRUDENTIAL LOAN & INVEST- 1 I MENT COMPANY I 20 S. 8th St. .

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can," "Take IV

MELANCHOLY OF INTROSPECTION It is only as we look forward that Interests breed about us. And only in interests are found the- antidotes for gloom, inefficiency and self-love. To sit still, to introspect, to speculate solely with our losses and failures, is to take all vitality from character and leave it nakedly lean, and lonely. We must somehow find a path away from ourselves. We must learn one of the most important of all life lessons that only a9 we pursue happiness through the happiness ot others can our lives enter into the Promised Land of real success. The empty spaces in our lives must be constantly filled. There must be no limit in space to our thoughts. They shall be as wide and shall extend as far as our biggest world! So let us strive in forgetfulness of self and selfish interests. Introspection is a thing that darkens the very soul of the strongest and weakens the most ambitious. The great of the earth have not been those of mighty intellect but those in whose hearts were warmed and fed the poorest of the earth. For character is far greater than intellect and in character there is nothing greater than heart. We escape the melanchoiy of introspection by entering upon unselfish service be it in what form or in what manner you choose. Burke, in one of his lettars to the Duke ot Richmond, wrote this: "It is wise, indeed, considering the many positive vexations and the in- -numerable bitter disappointments of pleasure in the world, to have as many resources of satisfaction as possible within one's power. Whenever we center the mind on one sole object, that object and life itself must go together. But though it is right to have reserves of employment, still some one object must be kept principal; greatly and eminently so; and the other masses and figures must preserve their due subordination, to make out the grand composition of an important life." Some of the stupidest people I have ever known have been those highly educated in mind but poorly educated in heart. Just forget that YOU count at all. Be efficient in your work and unselfish in all that you do and you will never worry over being happy.

Mothers! Educate Your Children in Health The day of an education limited to the three R's is forever past. It is just as essential in the complex life wo have now developed that boys and girls learn how to preserve their Strength and protect themselves from disease and debility as it is that they learn languages, mathematics, music or art. The responsibility for the health of the vast army of 20,000,000 boys and girls in the schools of the United States rests mainly with the mothers. Are you prepared to meet this grav est of parental responsibilities?

Spain for many years control! eoS-ths Lower Mississippi, the outlet tor the trade of Indiana, before the days of the railroads. Miami county comprises 384 square miles. Provision for a water works in Peru was made in 1378. There were 52 public libraries in Indiana in 1899. It has been estimated that probably half of Indiana's forests were burned to get rid of the timber. First of Bogoslof Islands Was Born 126 Years Ago '. The first of the Bogoslof group of the Aleutian Islands was i'born" 126 years ago. There was a great convulsion in the Bering Sea, about 25 miles north of Unalaska, and an isl and appeared above the surface of the ; stormy waters. This islet, which rose ; to a height of nearly 3,000 feet above sea level, was christened Bogoslof by: the Russians, who then owned Alaska.

PERSIA IS ANXIOUS TO REALIZE ON HER RICH OIL DEPOSITS

(By Associated Press) TEHERAN, PERSIA, Sept 23. - Ismail Agha Simko, the Kurdish rtbel chief who for two years has been setling at defiance the authority cf the Persian government, has fled across the-frontier into Turkish Kurdistan. His forces have been routed by Riza Khan, the Persian War Minister, who is Commander-in-Chief of the Persian, army, Simko's stronghold at Cherigh west of Lake Urmia, in Northern Persia, was captured after bitter fighting. Many guns and prisoners were taken. The internal situation in Persia continues unsettled. In the absence of a stable central . government, robber bands and tribesmen have been looting and plundering, and many of the principal roads are insecure. Outside of tales of disorder, oil is the one absorbing topic of conversation. The country has rich petroleum deposits, and the men in authority are eager to realize on this national wealth. And in this connection the following story is told: Considered Concession It seems the government, some time ago considered granting a 50 year concession for oil exploitation jointly to an English and an American company. One of the companies thereup on made an advance of $1,000,000 to the government, based on the assump tion that the concession ultimately would be made operative. At least that was the understanding of the oil men. - Once In hand, the million -was ex pended quickly. It went to pay troops m the field, and a lot of overdue salaries to officials. When the government learned that the advance was conditional upon exclusive concessions, there was trou ble, for in the meantime it had become actively engaged in negotiations with other oil interests, looking to get as much as it could from the potential wealth under the ground. It made every effort to get back the $1 000,000, but too late. Every cent had been expended. More than 300 business and Industrial firms in Great Britain publish their own house magazines, filled with details of pension and welfare schemes and the social, athletic anl other activities of the workers.
