HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1928 PAGE FIVE 0l By Arthur Brisbane Eric, the Robot. , Be Polite to Ouafi. A Human Time Clock. Nitrogen Replacing Gold. An exhibition in London intro duces "Eric, the Robot," a man shaped . wooden and metallic ma chine that rises to its feet, stretches out an arm to command silence and makes a speech. The shiny, metallic man-machine with its Blunting yellow eyes light ed by electricity, frightens specta tors. Some workers will dread the pos sibilities of competition by machine men. But there is no danger. When modern cloth -making machinery was first used England built forts to protect the machinery from en raged workers, convinced that it would starve them. Those machines employed more men than ever at better wages. Every efficient new machine in creases prosperity, especially that of woikers, by Increasing man val ue. With an ox team a man was worth $1 a day. With a locomotive he is worth $10. Mr. Ouafl, French Arab who beat all runners of the world in the Olympic marathon, is here. Nature, producing him, seems to have had a greyhound in mind. His legs are almost as thin as a grey hound's, and, quite tall, he weighs only 124 pounds. Ouafl is a citizen of the French Republic, and, although many sport ing Americans that see him run will not know it, his ancestors of ancient Arabia are ancestors whom our civ ilization and its science owe a great deal. Those old Arabs were learned In science, mathematics, and many lines when our nacestors In Eugland were hiding in swamps and our an cestors in Ireland were running over hills and bogs not much dressed, their great king putting aside his cloak of raw bull hide in the pres ence of a French visitor, revealing a king with nothing on him. Many words that we use every day, sofa, alcohol, many terms in chemistry, come from Arabic. Raymond S. Blunt of Chicago is called the human time clock. He re members where he was, what hap pened every hour, every minute of the last ten years. In four months of this year, for Instance, he spent 968 hours in sleep, 25 hours in church, 363 hours at meals, 49 hours on pleasure, etc. That's Interesting, but keeping track of time, hours and minutes, is not as important as putting some thing into the hours and minutes. For Instance, the minute in which Thomas A. Edison decided that two messages, as well as one, might be sent over the snme wire at the same time, was more important to the world than all the well regulated hours in the lives of ten thousand other men. Gold has been the unit of value since men first found strange heavy little yellow grams washed down by mountain streams, thousands of years ago. ' Men have struggled for gold and died weeping because they couldn't take it along, and have murdered each other for gold. Now cold science tells you, "Gold won't always be the unit of value." Nitrogen will replace it, being the foundation of our food supply, and of life. Every square mile of air above the earth' surface carries twenty mil lion tons of nitrogen, enough to last the world twelve years. Any way of getting that nitrogen out of the air cheaply would be mar velously important, to farmers es pecially. Judge Jareckl of Chicago says that city will enlist 10,000 men to guard the polls in November. He doesn't want any more "pineapple" politics. "Pineapple," you know, is Chica go's playful euphemism for an ex plosive bomb. If pineapples only were used in the Chicago campaign it wouldn't be so bad. But automatics, machine guns and brass knuckles added to the "pineapples" makes the way of the voter hard, unless he votes with the gang. Tnts I I for the life by Hancu Hart Have you an Interesting picture In the kitchen hung where it catches your eyes many times dur ing the day? In this sensible age, you know, no one denies the appropriateness if not the psychological necessity of a glimpse of sunny, winding road over country hills when one is confined at kitchen tasks. Or per haps the picture might be of some fragrant, old-fashioned garden, or of a child at play. Cheerful scenes in the kitchen are often invaluable, both for dec orative purposes and as a counter irritant Vegetarian Menu Cream of carrot soup Lima bean loaf with tomato sauce Creamed cabbage Buttered beets Apple and celery salad Steamed pudding Non-stimulating drink Cookies for the School Lunch Heat Mi cup of molasses to boil ing point, add Vj cup. butter, then slowly add 1 cup prepared cake Hour, 2-3 cup sugar, teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon ginger sifted together.

Mold In square loaf pan, slice and serve on lettuce with may onnaise. "To Set" Colors A teaspoon of Epsom salts added to a bucketful of water will set colors most effectively.
