SUNLIGHT AS A
DISINFECTANT
(From Btata Board of Health)
The Importance of sunlight as a
disinfectant has been realized for
a long time, but exact knowledge as
to how much power the sun's rays
possessed to destroy has- been a
matter of conjecture.' What part of
the sun's rays were bactericidal has
only been recently investigated.
The following studies were made
by the Detroit Department of
Health:
An experiment is presented which
shows that in the middle of the day
sunlight will kill staphylococcus au
reus in one hour.
Again another experiment is pre
sented which shows sunlight under
the conditions above mentioned, and
after passing through plate glass
8mm. thick will kill staphylococcus
aureus in four and one half hours.
An experiment is given which
shows that when an iron arc of a
certain size is used as a source of
light, if this light is passed through
a spectroscope and the spectrum is
spread on the surface of a bacterial
culture, bactercidal effect will be
noted in that part of the spectrum
which Is composed of wave lengths
between 2300 and 2850 Angstrom
units." On longer exposure, longer
wave lengths are noted to be ef
fective. It would appear that the
effective rays in the sunlight must
be confined to those wave lengths
which are apparent at noon but not
apparent in early morning and in
late afternoon.
Sunlight and window light can be
relied upon to destroy bacteria if
exposed to It for two hours during
the middle of the day. Withdrawing
the draperies and raising the shades
even if the windows are closed, if
the sunlight and skyshine can en
ter, the destruction of bacteria will
gradually be brought about The
period of the day when Bunlight has
bactericidal power is shorter in
winter and longer in summer.
Washing the woodwork or parts
of furniture likely to have become
contaminated will break up cover
ing matter which conceals bacteria;
this will make the sunlight more
effective.
Open books, feathers, draperies,
rugs or cushions, may be amply dis
infected by placing them out in di
rect sunlight of two to four hours
during the middle of the day. They
must be so placed that the sun can
have free access to their surfaces.
It is Important that buildings
should not be erected that are not
adequately lighted by sunlight A
smoke screen will deprive a com
munity of the solar rays which de
stroy bacteria. A smoke screen will
also deprive a community of these
solar rays which stimulate nutri
tion In young childhood. With
modern methods of handling fuel it
is now possible to reduce the smoke
nuisance to a minimum.

The roadside or picnic dinner may
seem a troublesome ordeal to the
one who must prepare it but never
theless, it should be indulged in
frequently, for nothing is so health
ful, so full of zest as the meal
cooked out of doors.
For this purpose, keep tucked
away on a special shelf the shabby
pans and dishes discarded for gen
eral use; these make excellent pic
nic utensils you will not hesitate to
use. And keep on hand a supply
of paper plates, cups ad napkins,
and those cunning composition
forks and spoons that can be had
at the ten cent store.
The secret of a roadside dinner is
its simplicity. To cook too much
beforehand quite spoils the fun. So
plan menus that are easy as well as
tempting. Countless good things
that fit into the out-door environ
ment require very little time to pre
pare. A Easy Picnic Dinner

Better Baked Beans
It improves the flavor of baked
beans to use several kinds at the
same time. For example mix yellow-eyed
beans, navy and kidney
beans in equal quantities. Prepare
according to usual recipe for Boston
baked beans or add to the basic
recipe a chopped onion and half a
green pepper chopped.
O. 8. C. MAN APPOINTED.
Oregon State College, Corvallis,
July 30 Investigation of existing
federal hay grades with a view to
their revision if found necessary,
will be in charge of an Oregon man,
G. R. Hyslop, head of the farm
crops department of Oregon State
college. Professor Hyslop was se
lected to head an investigating com
mittee by Secretary of Agriculture
Hyde. He has obtained a three
months' leave of absence to devote
to the work.
One-eighth of the students at O.
S. C. last year were aided by loans
from the general student loan fund,
says the annual report of the com
mittee in charge. These loans aver
aged a little less than $100 each.
Total expenses of students getting
loans ranged from $300 to $1020 a
year, with the average $616.87.
Losses from the fund are small,
and are more than balanced by the
nominal interest charged.
Oregon has been given signal rec
ognition this year at the American
Institute of Cooperation meeting at
Baton Rouge, La, where George O.
Gatin, cooperative marketing spec
ialist at Oregon State college, has
been named chairman of one of the
sessions. Others attending the ses
sions from Oregon are R. A. Ward,
