est public utility holding groups,
A. E, Lundvall, commission ac

Oeneva, U League of Nations'
experts have Just completed a pro

rural hygiene.
Leaguers are convinced that one
element In the present world-wide
economic crisis is the necessity of
keeping the health and productive
capacity of rural workers up to
that of their urban brothers,
The project provides amongst
other things one physician for
every 2,000 persons; an auxiliary
nursing and technical staff; the
presence on the spot in the small
est rural unit to render first aid
and carry out prescript inns.
The project is to be submitted to
an International conference on
rural hygiene for final adoption.

pects "are looking up."
One of the most encouraging
features of the present market, lie
said. Is the confidence of the mil Ik
which are buying surplus clips.
Hoech said the price of wool Is
showlnR a slight advance over lost
year. Moderate increases will be
witnessed from time to time, he
believes, although no great rise in
price is expected. He remarked
that the stabilization of the sales
price of clips is encouraging to
all who observe the wool industry."
Shearing will b? fairly well com
pleted in the eastern and central
Oregon districts this week. The
qunlity of the season's clip is Rood,
although the recent dust storm
which caused a heavy deposit in
fleeces, caused a slight dockae in
some instances.
Howlt said the Oregon-Washing

which handles a large part of the

the product of rorthuid faster than
the steamship lines can receive it
for shipment to the eastern sea

There are few meats that can
surpass ham in taHte-appeal and
popularity. When it comes from tho
oven p'ar.cu wn sitcnr and dotted
with cloves, it is tantalizing to have
to wait for a pink, savory-sweet
Slice.
To develop the flavor of ham to
the utmo.it, put halt a cup of sugar
and half a cup uf vinegar in the
water In which your half or whole
ham simmers. Then after the ham
is tender let it remain in the water
until cool. The result is a delicious,
savory flavor.
Ham, however, is but one of the
many foods where sugar can be
used to advantage. In seasoning
meat stews and pot-roasts, canned
or fresh vegetables, a dash of sugar
to a pinch of salt greatly Improves
the flavor. Salt by itself merelr
overcomes flatness. It Is the sugar
that "brings out" the flavor. Most
foods are more delicious with sugar.

ENGLISH WOMEN
WIN DRESS WAR
London (LP) English women
have apparently won their fight
with the dress designers who want
ed to force ankle-length skirts for
day wear.
English designers were strong
for Jong trailing dresses for both
day and evening wear, but fash
ionable women decided that long
frockj were excellent only for
dress wear. For the daylight hours,
they Insisted, dresses just below
calf-length were the smartest
while those dipping to the ground
were dowdy and easily bedraggled
when worn out of doors.
At ft recent dress show In Lon
don, fashionable women comment
ed favorably on the fact that for
once there were no full-length af
ternoon frocks paraded. Generally,
nine inches below the knee was the
limit of the day dresses and suits.
Among the evening clothes, how
ever, was a sensational model with
a wide skirt of black georgetu. a
moulded corsage of contrasting
green georgette and ft most daring
V back cut to the waist and sup
ported by a vertical strapping; of
diamante.
GREEN ELEMENT
IN PLANT LIFE
IS SEPARATED
Washington, (LP) ScelntkU in the
bureau of chemistry and soils ot the
Department 01 Agriculture by an
elaborate series of experiments,
have succeeded In separating chlor
ophyll the green element in plants
from the rest of the plant.
The work: of these scientists Is
expected to be of much value In
studying plant diseases, and also
in determining whether It Is pos
sible to produce plant products
synthetically.
To those who are not scientists,
It may be explained that chloro
phyll bears much the same relation
ship to the plant that haemoglobin
bears to the human being. The
haemoglobin Is the red blood cor
puscle which carries the necessary
oxygen through the human body,
and the chlorophyll Is the green
element which enables the plant
to convert the carbon dioxide of
the air Into sugars and cellulose
materials.
Scientists long have known that
chlorophyll was the pigment which
caused plants to be green. It ab
ounds in large quantities In most
plants, but for some time could
not be separated from the various
other chemical substances and mix
tures. A complicated experiment
evolved by the bureau has thor
oughly separated It from the plant.
In addition, another series of ex
periments had been helpful In sep
arating the carotin and xantho
phyll from the plant.
Carotin and xantliophyll are the
substances in plants which cause
the leaves to turn yellow, or orange,
In the autumn, when the sun's rays
have dried up the chlorophyll, or
green pigment, In the plants. Car
otin has been known for sometime
as a copper colored pigment, but
science has never been able to as
certain the value of the substance
to plant life, nor have they been
able to ascertain the exact value ot
xantliophyll, which is a pale yellow
pigment.
The green chlorophyll pigment
has been shown to contain carbon,
hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and
magnesium. The only practical che
mical difference in the organtlc
construction of the green chloro
phyll in plants and the red haemo
globin In blood is that the chloro
phyll contains magnesium and the
haemoglobin contains Iron.

London (LP George Brooks, 55,

Sir Ernest Wild, recorder at Old
Bailey police court, paid him that
compliment, but observed that in
stead of being with a manufactur

younger men who planned robber
ies. "It Is highly desirable that the
specialist's activities should be
curtailed." said Sir Ernest, as he
sentenced Brooks to six years In
prison.

Machine Tester
Bounces Prunes
To Select Best
Eugene, Ore. (LP) Next tune you
want to find out whether a prune
is good or not, try bouncing It.
Good prunes are selected from bad
ones by the bouncing test in a new
grader for the fresh fruit Invented
by George Weaver, Inventor and
prune grower of the Myrtle creek
region In Oregon, where thousands
ot pounds of the fruit are produced
annually.
His machine, which also has a
number of other features intended
to aid in selecting the finest prunes
for shipment, and to speed up the
process of dehydration, has a travel
ing rubber belt to which the fruit
falls from an Incline three feet high.
Sound prunes bounce across a nar
row gap when they fall to the belt,
while the unfit ones, lacking resili
ency, are tumbled Into the opening.
CITOLAS USED
BY MINSTRELS
Philadelphia (LP) The troubadours
of old did not play on guitars.
For despite the general Idea, the
wandering minstrels used a citola.
This at least Is the opinion of
Dr. Jean Baptlste Beck, one of the
world's greatest authorities on old
musical instruments. He specializes
In troubadours, that Is, when he
Isn't busy teaching the history ot
music In the University of Pennsyl
vania, or In the Curtis Institute of
Music,
His study and den are filled with
strange Instruments. But the most
curious one In the collection Is an
Instrument which dates back the
first half of the 17th Century In
Prance.
ARIZONA RUINS
TELL STORY OF
FIRST CITIZENS
Phoenlz, Ariz.. fLP) A story of
Arizona's first citizens brown
men who enjoyed life on a civilized
scale at a time when ancestors of
present day Nordics were savages
is being uncovered bythts city.
Excavation and restoration of
the Pueblo Grande ruins, six miles
from the city limits, is underway
as a municipal project. Work will
continue until the picture of pre
historic life Is as clear to laymen
as It now Is to archaeologists.
It Is the only municipally owned
and administrated ruins of the
kind In the United States and
when fully reconstructed will show
a chapter In the life of an ancient
community, now buried beneath
this city.
Phoenix acquired title to the
ruins several years ago, named a
commission to direct restoration
and research and appointed Odd
3. Halseth as the archaeologist In
charge.
Located on an ancient canal, the
ruins already have contributed to
the store of knowledge concerning
those who lived In the southwest
ages ago. Soil and rock formation,
covering the ruins, proves conclu
sively that the people who Inhab
ited the dwellings lived several
thousand perhaps as many as
10,000 years ago.
That these prehistoric "apart
ment house" dwellers were civilised
is proven by the presence of the
canal and other evidence that an
Intelligently operated system of ir
rigating farm lands was In general
use.
Pottery as an Industry existed
also while the dwellings, funda
mentally similar to modem city
