For A May Day Party
‘HEN you are planning the
food for your May Day
B Party outdoors, you want
it to be as novel and
pleasing to the happy little
girl who is Queen of the May, and
to her guests, as the surprised lit
tle flowers which are peeping out
at the new spring. Why not try
anew sort of sandwich which is
easy to make, nutritious and
easily digested? Here is one:
Pineapple and Nut Sandwiches:
Mix well together two cream
cheeses, one-fourth cup drained
crushed Hawaiian pineapple, one
fourth cup chopped salted al
monds, asd spread between thinly
sliced and buttered graham bread.
Make in required quantities, and
be sure to save the syrup from the
pineapple to use in a fruit drink.
By going to a little more trou
ble you can make the following
CANNERS AND KINGS
Qeople are saying nowa
days that there is plenty of
jw-hj* everything, and that the
only trouble is that our
economic life is not so ar
ranged as to make everything
available to all. The canned foods
industry is a direct contradiction
0 mis contention. Take pine
aPp!e, for instance. Formerly
only great lords and kings were
e i to grace their tables with that
Pyal Hawaiian fruit. In North
ern countries it was raised only
• nder glass, and was not available,
' , ' n to kings, % folly ripened under

A Rare Treat
j ‘ °w, .thanks to the canning in
anfi ’ s available in this form,
me average man can feast
dainty sandwiches which will de
light the winsome little Queen of
the May.
Three Layer Sandwiches : Sim
mer together one cup of crushed
Hawaiian pineapple, one-fourth
cup sugar and two tablespoons
lemon juice until the mixture is
thick. Cool. Cut whole wheat
or brown bread in very thin
slices, butter and spread with soft
ened and seasoned cream cheese.
Cover with another slice of bread
and butter, and spread with the
pineapple mixture. Again cover
with buttered bread, and cut into
narrow fingers.
The acids of pineapple turn al
kaline in the body, and its enzyme
bromelin content is an aid to di
gestion, so there will be no after
math of indigestion to your May
Day Party if you serve these
sandwiches.*
more sumptuously on pineapple
than the kings of old, and, thanks
again to the canning industry, he
can even consume such rare and
dainty dishes as this one named
after that famous grand opera
star, Madame Melba. All the in
gredients are now obtainable in
cans and within reach of the aver
age purse. Here’s the recipe:
Melba Salad: Hollow out slight

canned peach halves, chill well,
and then place in beds of crisp
lettuce. Drain one No. 2 can of
crushed Hawaiian pineapple, and
add eight marshmallows cut _in
eighths and eight maraschino
cherries cut in quarters. Pile in the
peach cavities and sprinkle chop

HOW—=
SIXTH SENSE IN MANKIND
BESTOWED ODD POWER.—
Despite the progress of physi
ology the study of the human
bodv Is full of mysteries. Some
of its well-known organs hnve
never revealed either their uses
tr the reason of their creation.
The part played by the spleen
In human life was discovered
hut recently. It Is now regard
ed as one of the chief agents in
the circulation of the blood. But
there are In the marvelous hu
man organism mysterious parts
which it is possible that no sa
vant, however profound his
learning, may ever understand.
For instance. In the skull, be
hind the cartilage of the nose,
there is a little cavity of un
known origin. Physiologists be
lieve that at one time, several
thousand generations ago, It con
tained a gland consisting of two
lobes joined by their common
base.
This cavity, the delta turcica.
Is, in the opinion of certain au
thorities, the vestige of a sixth
sense which was of great use
to the antediluvian ancestors
of man. It is believed that this
little gland enabled them to see
in the darkness when they had
not yet learned the secret of
procuring light; that it was the
seat-of the mysterious sense of
direction or locality, the power
to orient their course, the sense
so highly developed to this day
in savages and certain animals.
The theory Is plausible, but it
is doubtful whether man will
ever acquire any real knowledge
of the reason for the existence
of the delta turcica.
How Artificial Nests
Aid in Bass Culture
It has been ascertained that black
bass culture is greatly aided by arti
ficial construction of nests. The male'
small-mouthed bass builds its nest by
sweeping the stones of a lake bottom
bare of sand in a three-foot circle Al
ternately using his nose and his tail
the fish makes a saucer-shaped nest
ready for the eggs of his mate; but
he will readily use a nest that lias
been prepared for him. Accordingly,
the fish expt:ts expedite his home
building.
For the big-mouthed bass nests are
made of moss embedded in concrete,
as this species prefers a fibrous bed
for its eggs. Ponds with basins six
feet deep in (lie center and with shal
lower water elsewhere are so pre
pared. Wild fisli caught by the hook
are put in to mate here, to the great
increase of reproduction. Proper as
sortment of the fish and the preven
tion of crowding accomplish excellent
results.
How Trees Affect Future.
If this nation is to continue to main
tain commercial prosperity, the for
estry situation becomes a world prob
lem. What does it mean to this pros
perity when sue’' great manufactur
ing centers as Pennsylvania, New
York, Michigan, and Ohio have to
import lumber in billions of feet every
year to keep their factories going?
New Y'ork, imports about 3,000,000,-
000 feet annually, the American Tree
association says. Many other states
import great quantities. What will it
mean to state and national prosperity
when industries have to slow down
and cut pay tolls because of the
mounting cost of forest products? We
think of California as one of the
states with thousands of acres of un
cut forests, .vet the state uses more
than it produces. This all means
something to every person of school
age today—the citizen and taxpayer
of tomorrow.
How Glass Can Re Cut.
A method of cutting glass clean and
straight without the aid of a glass
cutter is given as follows: Dip a
piece of common string in alcohol and
squeeze reasonably dry, then tie it
around the glass on the line of cut
ting. Touch a match to it and let it
burn off. While the glass is hot
plunge it under water, letting the arm
go well under to the elbow, so there
will be no vibration when the glass
is struck. Witli the free hand strike
the glass outside the line of cutting,
giving a quick sharp stroke with a
stick or knife. Of course this will
leave a sharp edge around the cutting.
How X-ray* Save Tree*.
Hidden defects und diseases in tree
trunks are revealed by means of an
X-ray outfit which shows conditions
that cannot be detected by ordinary
examination.
The outfit Is one of the first to be
developed and has since been im
proved into a more compact fofm.
The apparatus is nlso useful In in
specting poles that carry power or
other wires, to determine if any of
them are dangerously decayed In
side. —Popular Mechanics Magazine.
How the Tree* Grow.
Christmas trees can lie grown in
from six to ten years, says the Amer
ican Tree association. 'The best trees
for this purpose are Norway, red and
white spruce and balsam fir. For
posts, the best trees are the locust and
oak. They can be grown in from 12
to 20 years. For poles it generally re
quires 25 to 30 years or more. Goal
larch, spruce and cedar poles can be
grown to a small size in this time.

BIDDLE BIRDSALL.
“I have something else to tell yon

“G o o Jj," said

Invited, but he does wait outside
wMn they’re In at the dinner partiee
and then when they’ve left, he walkf

"Sometimes when Gertrude, his be
loved mistress who nnmed him Biddle,
Is at school and when her little broth
er Is at school, too, Biddle takes a
walk with their mother, und when she
stops to r£st he stops too, as though
to say, ‘Don’t feel loneiy, Biddle Is
with you, you know!’
“I’ve told you about the collar Rid

tached which ring and Jingle when ha
moves so as to let the birds know that
they must watch out.
“One bell wouldn’t be enough, for
be might move and still keep that one
quiet so his collar has many bells on
It. The other day ihere were some
more put on, to make Biddle look
more dressed up. and to be of even
more protection to the birds.
“The bells came off a rattle which
had been given to Gertrude when sh
was a little baby.
“They were of real silver and had
tome from a very unusual and won
derful rattle which had been given to
Gertrude by a very rich old lady.
The rattle had come from the finest
jewelry store in the world and Biddle
was a proud cat as he Jingled the
twlls of silver.
“He seemed to know they were very
fine. I’m really quite sure Biddle
knew,” Daddy laughed.
“I wouldn’t be at all surprised if
he did.” said Nick.
"Neither would I,” said Nancy.
“Yes, Biddle looked very fine with
his collar looking bright and smarter
than ever, and his lovely gray fur so
soft and silky and well looked after.
“He thought of the days when Ger
trude had tried to “call him Kitty and
had called him Biddle Instead, which
was her way of saying Kitty.
"He thought of the days when ho
used to run away, but of how much
better he behaved these days. H*
never ran away any more now.
“lie thought of the time he had ■
sore throat and how he had worn

but which had made his beautiful fur
look rather shabby for a time. Yes,
his throat had been made to feel quite
all right, and that was the main
thing.
“But he had been ashamed of his
looks after the ‘poultice had been tak

“He remembered how he used ts
put his head down and try to hide
his throat when anyone had spoken
to him at this time.
“What a vain little kitty he had
been, he thought.
“He remembered how he had
taught himself how to get in the
pantry door when it w f as closed by
Jumping up on the shelf or chair and
turning the door knob.
“All of these things he thought of

“THEY ALMOST HAD ME:
FOOLED”
(Contributed by W. C, T. U.)
From time to time we shall pub
lish in this column, “They Auno&fc.
Had- Me Fooled,” u simple statement,
of salient facts, together with dat*.
often asked for and seldom avail
able on the prohibition question..
Prohibition is under discussion ev
erywhere. It is frequently misun
derstood, because it is so often mis
represented.
a * •
A1 Capone—A Wet
On his way to federal prison. A?
Capone told newspaper reporterf*,
that he is a wet.
“Anybody that says I am for pro
hibition is all wet,” asserted this
notorious gangster, as quoted by
the Chicago Tribune, one of the*
wettest newspapers in the country.
The wets try to hook up Caponn
and other bootleggers with prohi
bition on the theory that these law
breakers support prohibition so that,
they can make more money by sell
ing contraband liquor at exorbitant,
prices.
Capone has exploded that brand!
of “wet” ammunition.
The fact is, bootleggers do not
thrive in dry territory but in the
wet sections of the country where
prohibition laws are least enforced
and where office holders are elect
ed by wet votes. The New York
World in a canvass of speakeasy
proprietors in that wet city found
them, to a man, supporters of wet.
candidates for office.
A1 Capone’s chief 'henchman,
Senator Dan Serritella, was- the
most active backer of the forces
trat tried to repeal the Illinois pro
hibition law because he knew that,
where there are no statfe enforce
ment laws bootlegging can flourish
unmolested.
Cash Value Of Prohibition
When the saloons closed, at least
•two billion dollars was released from
the clutches of the bartender.
Now when there is actual poverty
and acute hunger, the wets propose*
sending that two billion hack over
the bar with the brass rail.
It just doesn’t make good seftse.
Take two billion dollars away
from the retailers of the country
right now and what would be left
for food and rent and clothing, to
say nothing of comforts and lux
uries!
Think it over, Mr. Business Man
Where will your income be?
Don’t be fooled, Mrs. Wife and
Mother, into thinking the return of
booze would mean the return of
prosperity. •
The liquor traffic has always antf
everywhere made the few immense
ly rich and the many degradingly
poor.
Prohibition has a cash value of
two billion dollars to the purchasing
power of the country an'd you can’t
cure business depression by ttrming
the stream of money still flowing,
into a parasite business like thfc
liquor traffic.
The cost of prohibition enforce
ment is less than five cents per per
son, per year and more than that is
collected in fines and penalties and
taxes on lawful liquors.
