Gypsies Dying, Scientist Finds

March of Civilization Forces Elusive Wanderers to Extinction. Washington.—Gypsies are on the wing in their motor caravans again, migrating chiefly northward tor the summer ami just as hard fbr scientists to track and study as any rare migrating birds. It seems likely that the real gypsy race is slowly on the road to extinction, according to Dr. Walter Hough, "anthropologist of the United States National museum, who has long been interested in these elusive wanderers. The clearing of forests and the broader settlement of this country leave fewer peaceful havens for gypsy encampments. Horse trading and tinkering are not-good Twentieth century business projects. Gypsy for-tune-telling must compete now with forms of popular psychology, character reading, astrology and other more learned looking methods of dickering with the future, although the gypsies are shrewdly taking on some of this learned patter. Originally From India. • .But scientists have learned and deduced some facts about the gypsies and their mysterious ancestry before it was too late. “More than 100 years ago, a student of comparative languages showed that the gypsies are originally from India,’ said Doctor Hough. “They came to Europe in the Middle ages byway of Egypt. When anyone asked where they were from they said, from Egypt, and they still claim Egypt as their native land. But many sigmppoint to their Hindu origin.” A camp of pure-biood gypsies, such as are rarely seen nowadays, would reveal tawny, lithe men with expressive faces, black eyes and hair and clean-cut features, a real Hindu type, Doctor Hough points out. Then, too. the gypsy maiden's love of finery betrays the oriental strain. The gypsy dances suggest the oriental freedom and postures. Gypsy love of horses no doubt was brought from the hills of Indhi. the anthropologist aISQ-be-lieves. for it is known that when lhe gypsies emerged into Europe they h:\l fine animals and plenty of money, and they have always been connoisseurs of horses and dogs. A few traces of Hindu religion have clung to them. , “They will not eat eels and a few other animals because they think that in the mutations of the soul the spirits of their ancestors may inhabit them,” Doctol- Hough states. • Burn $2,000 Wagon. e “A long-standing custom of the gypsy that Is a survival, no doubt of India.

EIGHT MEN HAVE DIED AS SCIENCE MARTYRS IN YEAR

o. * , Dr. Hideyo Noguchi of Rockefeller Yellow Fever Commission Latest Victim. New York.—The names of at least' eight men have been added during the last year to the list of “martyrs pf science’’—research workers given their lives in the quest of knowledge. Dr. Hideyo Noguchi, bacteriologist with the Rockefeller foundation’s west Africa yellow fever commission, was a victim of a disease whose organism he had succeeded tn isolating. His passing recalled that Dr. Adrian Stokes, London scientist had succumbed to the fever a few months before while studying it in the same locality. ■ Records kept by the American As-sociation-for Medical Progress in New York, show that five other men have given their lives for science in recent

; 1 j the dead. In 1900, in Maryland, Chief Seth Lovell’s gayly painted palatial wagon, valued at $2,000 and tilled with his property, was burned. The ceremony was conducted by his widow » Rhoda and several relatives who wept while the flames destroyed the gypsy j chief’s equipage.” j The gypsies steadily tend to blend racially, as wanderlustiug strangers with red hair, freckles, alien features. t or ungypsylike speech join a gypsy band tod marry into gypsy families. It is difficult now for an anthropoloj gist to find a pure gypsy type, but i gypsy temperament runs as true to form as ever. First Newton Edition to i Library of Congress Washington. — One of the rarest books of science—the first edition of i Sir Isaac Newton’s, “Principia.” has now been secured by the Library of J Congress, after years ot search. ; Though only P/g inches thick and 10 i inches high by inches wide, with > 510 pages, it has ben termed “the most important printed work on exact science ever published.” it was pub lisbed in 1687 in London, and in it . Newton first gave to the the re- , suits of his fundamental study of the laws'of gravitation. Two issues of the first edition were made in the year of its publication, one being intended for sale in Eng , land and the other on the continent. The Library of Congress copy is ot the first issue. However, the entire edition was small and it is related by contemporary writers that as soon as 1691 it was very difficult to obtajn At present it is almost unprocurable. The library’s copy was purchased for Watson Davis, managing editor of Science Service, but upon learning of their desire for a copy he relinquished it in their favor. * The full title of the book, in Latin, is “i’hilosophiae Naturalis i’rincipia Mathematical’ An interesting feature of the title page is that it bears the imprimatur, or approval, of Samuei Pepys, famous for his diary, who was at that time president of the Royal society. Farmer Finds Bones of 12-Foot Mastodon Upland, Ind.—The bones of a mas todon 12 feet high and 16 feet long have found on the farm of J. W Jones. ■ Jones, inspecting a washout, noticed a massive jawbone protruding from the earth. He called Prof, J. H Furbay of Taylor university, and thirty students of the college excavated other parts of the prehistoric animal. It is expectejl every part of the skeleton will be found. The American Museum of Natural History at New York has estimated the Upland mastodon lived at least 10.090 years ago. Indiana has proved a fertile field for the finding of animals of the Pleistocene age. In the swamp lands of the northern part of the state many , elephantine , beasts 1 that roamed .the country in prehistoric times met their deaths, mired in the muck.

Doctor Alvin had lost both hands. > Dr. Maxine Menard, French roentgenologist, died in Paris from the effects of similar researches. The death of George (1 Williams, London radiologist, on April 10 was directly attributable to his studies, which bad claimed' one hand and part of the other. He had undergone 40 operations. Dr. Alexander Bogdanov, a Russian, lost his life after transfusing the blood of a tubercular student to himself on the theory that he had found away to build up a resistance to the disease. The student recovered, but the experiment was fatal to Bogdanov. Another hero of science in the last year was Dr. 8. Rawson wilson, an

Kachanovitch. The police indicate that these women have robbed hundreds of homes in the leading Russian cities over a long pe riod of time. Mme. Kachanovitch is described as a highly cultured and elegantly dressed woman who has been living * for some time in the best Moscow hotels. Her game has been to insert advertisements in various newspapers announcing that she sought a place for her maid, whom she recommends highly, but whom for various reasons she-could no longer employ. In this way she got her confederates into good homes, which soon thereafter were mysteriously burglarized. The arrest of one of these “maids’ recently on suspicion led to disclos ures involving Mme. Kachanovitch and her 19 assistants. Cop. Plays Samaritan, Leads Men to Jail Kansas City, Mo. —O. T.

Recently Edward Towers, patrolman at the Rosedaife police station in Kan sas City, Kan., was standing outside the station watching motor ears roll by. He saw a car driven by Eituck weaving down the street It stopped within 250 feet ot the station. Patrol man Towers walked td* where the car stopped in an effort to aid the stalled motorists. He did aid them—in fact, he aided both Eituck and Coate to the police station. Eituck was detained on - charges of intoxication, careless driving, and possession of liquor and Coate was booked on an intoxication charge.

' MAKE CROQUETTES FOR COMPANY USE ; Handy to Have in Store When Original Plans Fail. (Prepared by the United States Department at Agriculture.) The emergency shelf always has—- ' or should have —a can or two of salmon in reserve. Then one is never at a loss if unexpected company appears, or if the grocery order is delayed, or any other familiar household situation prevents the original plans for dinner from being carried out. Canned salmon can be used in different ways, according to the other materials one has on hand, the time available, and so on. One of the best dinners you can produce with a can of salmon as a basis centers around a plate of croquettes. The method of making them is given by the bureau of home economics: 2 cups canned sal- 1 egg and 1 tbs. mon cold water 1 cup milk 1 tbs. chopped 3 tbs. butter parsley H cup dried sifted 1 tbs. lemon juice bread crumbs % tsp. salt 8 tbs. fiour Prepare a cream sauce of the butter, flour, and milk and let it cool., Drain the salmon, remove the small particles of bone, and break the fish into small pieces. Mix the cream sauce, fish, lemon juice, parsley, bread crumbs, and salt. Form the mixture into croquettes. Dip into the beaten egg which has been well mixed with tlie water. Roll in very finely sifted bread crumbs and place on a pan or board. Let stand for an hour or longer for the egg coating to dry. Heat in an-iron kettle any desired fat until hot enough to brown a bread crumb in 40 seconds. Then carefully place the croquettes in a wire basket lower them siowly into the fafi and eook until a golden brown. As the croquettes are removed put them on a paper to absorb, the excess tat and keep warm in the oven until all are prepared. Serve with a garnish of parsley. iX .,—. Raspberry Flummery Is Delicate and Wholesome Flummery is an old-fashioned dessert made of fruit juice thickened with cornstarch or farina. It is served cold, with plain or whipped cream, and is delicate and wholesome. Raspberries and blackberries and other fruits with seeds which become, prominent when the fruit is cooked may be enjoyed in flummery. “Rote grutze.” ' or red grains, is the German name for raspberry flummery. The same general proportions may be used with I any berry juice, but the amount of lemon may need to be increased or decreased according to the acidity of i the berries. Raspberry Flummery. 2 cups of raspberry 4 tbs. cornstarch juice from canned % cup sugar (if or cooked fresh juice is unraspberries sweetened) 3 tbs. farina or % p. salt 2 tsp. lemon juice Heat the raspberry juice. Mix the sugar and farina or cornstarch and I the salt, and add to the raspberry juice. Cook in a double boiler for fifteen or twenty minutes, -or until the mixture thickens and the raw, starchy taste disappears.

NO UNNECESSARY STEP TAKEN WITH MEALS jjliTQßl fsj; n SiteaWEa Ji ggOSWpn O jI; llSilh Two-Way or Pass Closet Compactly Arranged With Reference to Dish Washing Closet.

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) If you have a two-way dish closet’ in the connecting wail between the kitchen and dining room, preferably, where that partition joins the outside wall of the house, it is possible to place the sink at right angles to this pass closet and continuous with it, along the outer wall, with a window directly above for light and ventilation. This arrangement is especially good when the dining room wall is at the left of the sink, but it can be reversed in homes .4th the opposite Boor plan. Used dishes and silver are passed through frdin the dining room directly to the sink. After they have been washed they qre put into the closet at once ready to be taken out on the dining room side. Not an unnecessary step is then taken in serving or clearing away meals, ft is wise to keep within the compact limits of these centers any small tools used at the sink, and also cooking utensils that are filled with water before they are put on tire stove or dining table. The double boilers and stew pans, the coffee percolator, tea kettle and water AROUND THE HOUSE If you are short, avoid large hats. Beat sour milk with a dover egg beater before using it for cooking. Soft bread crumbs give a better color and thinner crust to Choquettes than dried crumbs. • • • Plan the dessert to fit the meal—a light dessert after a heavy meal md a rich dessert after a light one.

ENJOYMENT AND PROFIT IN ROSES Florida Woman Makes Income From Flowers. (Prepared by the United States Department ot Agriculture.) Although Mrs. S. F. Poole”of Winter Haven, Polk county. Fla., considers her rose garden partly as a commercial venture, she gets a great deal of personal enjoyment out of its masses of lovely color and its characteristic fragrance. She planned her garden under the guidance of the county home demonstration agent, and Is now able to make a good side income by selling both cut flowers and plants or cuttings. The varieties of tea and hybrid roses suitable for planting in such a garden as this depend somewhat on the location and climate. As far north as lowa, varieties that will do I vK IU-, ?

pitcher have places on the shelves at the-side of the sink. Spoons, brushes scissors and cleaning accessories that can be hung up are just below these shelves. The counter space on a level with the drain-boards should, however, be kept relatively clear both for passing dishes and foods between the dining room and kitchen and for use in spreading out plates to be filled at serving time The space under the drain-boards is useful" for storing cleaning materials or supplies. The drain basket, garbage can an I kitchen waste basket belong in the clearing away center. The lower part of the pass closet is a good place to keep the electric toaster and grill, trays and covered dishes that will often be wanted ir the dining room. In the accompanying drawing, sup- j pliecl by the butetui of home economics, the doors of the two-way closet are shown as sliding upward to save space. Ordinary doors may of course be used. The doors of the lower part of this closet also slide out of the '■ way.

Wear Silk or Wool to Escape Sunburn Girls who wish to keep their skiu lily white and free from sunburn will do well to wear silk or woolen clothing as protection from the sun s. rays. On the other hand, mothers who want their children to get as much of the beneficial ultraviolet rays as possible should keep the children in cotton or linen clothes. These four textiles were tested by scientists working at the Kansas Statu Agricultural college, who found that while the protection from sunburn depends primarily on the looseness ot the weave, the vegetable fibers, cotton ami linen, transmit some of the rays that cause sunburn and tanning, while the animal fibers, silk and wool absorb more of these rays and thus offer greater protection against them.
