A REMEDY FDR ICE COATED WINDSHIELDS Os all the difficulties that confront the motorist in winter, few are more exasperating, disconcerting, and dangerous than the ice-coated windshield, says M. N. Noblet, Secretary of the Hoosier State Auto Association, who points out that a host of car owners are under the mistaken impression that this particular situation has no remedy. There are several remedies, says Mr. Noblet, and the motorist would spare himself many hours if he acquainted himself with them and applied them as needed. “Alcohol, salt, and glycerine are three substances that deal very effectively with the icecoated windshield,” he says, “the motorist who desires to avoid this problem, which is responsible for so many accidents, should carry one of the three along with him on all his winter motor journeys. All lend themselves very readily to*being made additions to the tool kit. “If salt is the substance one decides to have handy for the emergency of this character, it should be applied when the windshield begins to collect ice. This creates a brine solution that will not freeze. It will be necessary to apply additional salt from time to time as the original coating washes off, but, handled properly, the remedy is one of the most effective. “Glycerine rubbed on the windshield forms a film to which water, snow and ice will not cling. In some ways, it is the best of the substances that may be used as an ice preventive. Alcohol serves the same purpose in much the same way. although its lighter viscosity makes it less effective. “In addition to this, the ma torist should keep his windshield cleaner operating at the highest efficiency. The ice-windshield has been tolerated too long.” o Scientific and chemical wonders multiply with amazing frequency. The Bell Telephone Company recently gave a demonstration of speaking into an ordinary phone mouthpiece on the New Jersey side of the Hudson River and the sound of the voice was transmitted by a wire to a loud speaker on top of the Bell Building in New York a mile distant, and in five seconds was heard booming back across the Hudson in perfect clarity. By this means it is claimed a person can make a public address to a million people. o Red Grange of football fame in “The Racing Romeo’* at Crystal, Ligonier, tonight.

SKULLS UNCOVERED Bone by bone the soil of southern Indiana is giving up the story of a curiods world that existed once in what is now Hoosierland. Gravel pits have revealed bit by bit a vista of jungle country through which roamed huge, armor plated creatures of a warlike race of giants more > than seven feet in height . The latest find has been in a gravel pit on the farm of Henry Michael, two miles northeast of Columbus, Indiana. Earl Knapp and Lawrence Bringman were digging in the pit little dreaming they were about to intrude upon the secrets of an era long before the arrival of the first white pioneer. The men’s shovels suddenly uncovered a skeleton of a giant man. As the air came in contact with the bones they began to crumble, showing they had been sealed in the soil for hundreds of years. The skeleton was that of a warrior for beside the remains lay parts of a bow and arrow, a spear head and several flint rocks. The oody had been buried with the feet pointing toward the rising sun. T. M,. Kingsbury, geologist of the state department of conservation, expressed great interest in the local "find. ‘He recalled the finding recently of two skeletons in a gravel pit near Greenwood. The remains there also were those of giant men. The two skeletons are now in the state museum. “Bit by bit we are learningmore and more about the physically powerful race and the strange world in which it lived in what is now Indiana,” Kingsbury said. “We now have more than forty skulls or parts of skulls of Indiana aborigines in the state museum.” Kingsbury also called attention to the recently discovered mastodon farm near Orleans in. Orange county. “Our discoveries in this state show that Southern Indiana was the stamping ground of a big race,.once,” Kingsbury said. “Undoubtedly northern Indiana in those days was a flat, swampy expanse. The early inhabitants preferred the hilly southern sections, with their streams which furnished them means of transportation,”

HOUSEHOLD HINTS I I

All wool materials should be dried in a warm place, but not near a fire or in the direct sunlight. Never allow them to freeze. Hang knitted underwear from the shoulders, shaping the garments occasionally and squeezing the water farm the bottom. In February and March eggs begin to be abundant again, and anytime during the spring it is a gobd policy to put down a few surplus eggs in waterglass as soon as they are taken from the nest. Next fall you will be glad to have them. The United States Department of Agriculture will tell you exactly how to save these eggs so that they will be in perfect condition when taken out of the waterglass solution. Fruit, nut, and other quick loaf breads are made from a mixture like that for muffins only slightly thicker in some cases. If the batter is comparatively thin, the fruit or nuts .should be floured before being added. The temperature of the oven should be low enough for the bread to bake through without making the crust too hard or brown. Fqr a small loaf a temperature (of about 375 degrees F. is about right; for a larger loaf it should be lower. Test with a straw or toothpick. If you do not have a reliable muffin recipe, you will find one in Farmers’ Bulletin 1450. F, “Home Baking.” It is entirely normal for a 15year old boy to require an unusual amount of food. He is growing rapidly, and using his energies in hundreds of ways. He needs a pint or more of milk a day, either as a drink or in soup, cocoa, puddings, and so forth. He needs also eggs and some meat, cooked cereals for breakJjistrbread made from wholegrain flours, plenty of fruit, all kinds of vegetables—some of them served raw —and sweets only at the end of meals. He will want larger portions of e\*erything than most of the other members of the family. It has been found by students of nutrition that a boy between 15 and 18 may need 1.1 times as much energy food as a grown man, and about 1.5 times much food supplying protein and minerals.

CONCRETE ON THE FARM Here is a simple method of testing sand to find out whether it has too much clay with it to make a desirable concrete. Put 4 inches of the sand into a pint preserving jar. Fill the jar with clear water to within an inch of the top. Fasten the lid. Shake the jar thoroughly until the whole is well mixed. Set the jar aside and allow the contents to settle. The sand will go to the bottom. The clay and loam will form a layer on top of the sand. If more than three-eights of an inch of clay or loam shows, the sand is not clean enough for making concrete. Either a new source of sand must be found or the sand must be washed to rid it of the surplus of clay and loam. Farmers’ Bulletin 1279-F, obtainable on application to the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C.» gives directions for a simple arrangement for washing sand and, gravel, as well as other valuable suggestions relative to plain concrete for farm use.

The fact that crime is comparatively safe seems to be the chief cause of crime. Imperfections of laws, courts and juries contribute to this condition. Any reform along these lirfes will be a long time in coming, but lawyers, by .refusing to defend any man accused of crime unless convinced that he is innocent, could soon clear the atmosphere. o Administrator’s Sale Notice is hereby given that the undersigned, Administrator of the estate of Elizabeth J.

The foregoing report was approved by the Board of Trustees of the Town of Syracuse, at a regular meeting, February 7, 1928. SUGAR CONSUMPTION Uncle Sam. with one-fifteenth of the world’s population, consumes nearly one-fourth of all the sugar produced on the globe. Latest statistics , show the world’s 1927 sugar production totalled approximately 52,339,000,000 pounds. Os this amount 12,750,000.000 pounds, or 24 per cent, were consumed in the United States, totaling more than 109 pounds per person. Per capita consumption of pork during the same period was 84.8 pounds, milk 56 gallons, butter 17 pounds, eggs 16.6 dozen, bread 77 lbs., and dressed beef, mutton, veal and lamb 76.7 pounds, according to a survey. America’s, great liking for candy has played an important part in the increased consumption. Six hundred twenty-five million pounds of sugar are used in the manufacture of one and three-quarter billion pounds of confectionery produced yearly to satisfy the American sweet tooth. Fifty-eight per cent of this country’s sugar supply comes from Cuba, 25 per cent from Hawaii, Porto Rico, and the Phillippines, and the remaining 17 per cent is produced in the United States. Approximately 1,960,000,000 pounds of beet sugar and 157,000,000 pounds of cane product were produced in this country last year. o Subscribe for the Journal;
