FIREPROOF CLOTH BEING MADE
FROM GLASS
r r
It is an old saying that persons
who live in glass houses should never
throw stones. If this be true, what
would you think of the women who
wear glass dresses?
A factory at Newark, Ohio, spins
cloth fibre from glass and does it at
a rate so rapid that it would dis
courage the slow-moving methods of
the silk worm.
One of the machines used in the
process twists glass filament into
spools of yarn-like thread. In an
other, there is being woven cloth
that is as fine as the purest silk.
Some strands of glass fabric are
less than one one-thousandth of an
inch in diameter. Because of its
fireproof qualities, glass cloth is be
ing used for many purposes, such as
draperies, curtains, awnings, dresses,
and rugs probably will be the next
form in which glass fabric will be
applied to home and fireside.

Conserving Food Value
Vegetables, more than any other
kind of food, need scientific cooking.
Some of their most important nutri
tive values are easily lost in cooking,
and this is less true of other kinds
of foods. We depend upon vegeta
bles and fruits for a large share of
the mineral substances and vitamins
that are required to keep our daily
food supply in balance and our
bodies in good condition.
If all the vegetables were eaten
raw, we would get more of their
mineral and vitamin values than we
do. That is one reason food scient
ists so emphatically recommend raw
cabbage, raw carrots, raw turnips,
celery and lettuce. The vitamin C
in vegetables is very easily lost in
cooking, except in the cooking of
tomatoes, where the acid serves to
prevent the destruction of vitamin
C. Vitamin B is less easily destroy
ed, but it, too, is affected by heat
and water.
To overcome these difficulties and
to avoid nutritive losses so far as
possible, different rules apply to the
cooking of different kinds of vegeta
bles.
Baking in the skin is the ideal
way, from the standpoint of food
values, to>cook potatoes, sweet pota
toes, and squash, for example. Bak
ing in a covered dish, a casserole, ac
complishes the same purpose in vege
tables that can be cooked without
added water. Panning, or cooking
in a covered pan on top of the stove,
using little or no water, is another
application of the same principle,
and can be used for a considerable
variety of vegetables.
Steaming is the second best meth
od from the standpoint of preserving
food values. Many vegetables can
be steamed.
Boiling, the most common method,
calls for special precautions to pre
vent loss of food values. Three im
portant points to observe are these:
Cook vegetables only long enough
to make them tender but leave them
firm in texture.
Cook them in as little water as
possible. Some, like spinach, in just
the water that clings to the leaves
after washing. Brussells spikiKts and
cauliflower, on the other hand, need
water enough to cover.
Serve the cooking liquid if possi
ble, for it contains much of the
mineral substances and some of the
vitamins dissolved in cooking the
vegetable. Gravies, sauces, soups,
and seasonings can be made with
this cooking liquid, if it is not feas
ible to serve it with the vegetable
itself.
WHITE HOUSE HAS A BIRTHDAY
(From Savannah Morning News)
The White House celebrated its
145th birthday recently. Reports
from Washington say there was no
formal observance of the occasion,
but students of history will recollect
the historic limestone mansion “grew
up with America.” Its cornerstone
laid on a cold-blustery October day
in 1792, the home of our Presidents
has watched America grow from a
backwoods nation into one of the
world’s greatest powers.
The mansion came through four
wars, being burned in one of them
by the British in 1814. It was
through that experience it became
known as the White House, because
it was painted white to cover the
marks of the fire. Happiness and
tragedy have stalked its halls. There
were 15 weddings within its confines,
the last that of Eleanor Wilson,
daughter of the World War Presi
dent, to William Gibbs McAdoo, now
senator from California. And two
Presidents died in its rooms—Wil
liam Henry Harrison and Zachary
Taylor.

FORMER SLAVE RECALLS YULES
OF CENTURY AGO
Elberton, Ga.—Annette Rucker,
who remembers about 100 Christ
mases, including ante-bellum one
she spent as a plantation house slave,
recalled old customs just a little
wistfully and then decided modern
celebrations are all right too.
The tiny negro woman was a wed
ding gift from Joseph Rucker,
wealthy Elbert county planter, to his
daughter, Mary Rucker, when she
married the Rev. James Lamar.
Her place in the household was
“key girl,” and her job was to lock
or unlock pantries, china closets,
linen rooms and the other things re
quiring it.
“I was in the big house, so I had
my Santa Claus with the white
children,” she said. “We got home
made candy, apples, oranges, linsey
dresses and copper-toed shoes.
Annette spoke without the “mam
my” accent, a mark of her service
as a house negro instead of a field
hand. She nursed her mistress’ son,
Joseph Rucker Lamar, who later be
came a United States supreme court
justice, and tended the family’s per
sonal wants.
“Dinner was something to talk
about. Turkey, peafowl, game,
lamb, pork, beef and all sorts of
cakes and pies. And when the table
seemed ready to break they brought
in a milk-fed pig with a big red ap
ple in its mouth.”
Yes, sir, Annette said, she liked
those Christmases.
But, she added: “I like the sort
of Christmas we have now.”
She lives now in a little house at
Ruckersville, near here, given her
in recognition of her years of faith
ful service in the home of Dr. Lar
kin Clark.

SIXTY-THREE-YEAR-OLD
MAIL ORDER BRIDE
WEDS GEORGIAN
A “mail order” bride from North
Carolina married a Georgia farmer a
few days ago in Marietta, within an
hour after the two had met for the
first time.
J. F. Wilkins, 67, a farmer of the
New Hope district of Paulding coun
ty, lost his third wife by death about
a year ago. Six weeks ago, he told
a chance acquaintance that he was
having a hard time making a home
for his school-girl daughter, and
that he was looking for a good wo
man who would marry him and take
the place of a mother for his daugh
ter.
The new-found friend gave him
the name of a widow, Mrs. Fred
Hankowitz, 63, who had recently re
turned to her native home near
Franklin, N. C., after a stay of
more than forty years in Arkansas,
where she had buried two husbands,
Silas Wilson, first, and Fred Han
kowitz, who passed away in August,
1936. She was Mady McMahan be
fore her first marriage, and her peo
ple still reside in the county of her
birth.
Several letters passed between Mr.
Wilkins and Mrs. Hankowitz. Her
only specifications, she told Mr. Wil
kins, was that he should never
drink, that he would be kind to her,
and make a home for her “down
there in Georgia.” With this pledge
from him, and receipt of money for
a railroad ticket, Mrs. Hankowitz
boarded a train for Marietta.
She arrived on schedule time, they
talked matters over, and within a
short time were married.
