WHICH CROSSROAD SHALL WE TAKE?
Two young boys of 16 years entered The Herald
office this week under custody of an officer. They
had robbed an old man who had befriended them of
$7.00 in cash. They had been fairly clever with
their trick but the arm of the law has long fingers.
These boys were not of the illiterate type, but
were clear minded, smart—but had chosen the
wrong crossroad in life.
This week many boys are making decisions in re­
gards to school, jobs, or doing something useful—
the crossroads are many.
Hermiston is experiencing a mild building boom.
Following the beginning of the new Safeway build­
ing is a new telephone structure, a new residence,
and several other smaller construction jobs. Things
are looking up.
The call of the wild broke out in earnest in many
parts of the state this week. To a Hermiston lady
goes the honor of killing the first deer in this section.

<<1IJ|ATTER” was the subject of
111 the Lesson-Sermon in all
Churches of Christ, Scientist, on
Sunday, Sept. 17.
The Golden Text was, "My flesh
and my hearth faiieth: but God Is
the strength of my heart, and
my portion for ever” (Ps. 73:26).
Among the citations which
comprised the Lesson-Sermon was
the following from the Bible:
“ Love not the world, neither the
things th at are in the world. If
any man love the world, the love
of the F ather is not in him.
For
all that Is in the world, the lust of
the flesh, and th lust of the eyes,
and the pride of life, is not of the
Father, but is of the world ' (I
John 2:15, 16).
The Lesson-Sermon also includ­
ed the following correlative pas­
sages from the Christian Science
textbook, “Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures” by Mary
Baker Eddy: “So-called material
existence affords no evidence of
spiritual existence and Immortality
. . . . Jesus reasoned on this sub­
ject practically, aad controlled
sickness, sin, and death on the
Hammer Mills

They have a powerful blower and come equip­

When Columbus discovered Amer­
ica he was making a voyage in
search of spices. In fact, much of
the early exploration of the world
was based on the hunger for the
fragrant spices of the Tropics, ac­
cording to a writer in the Prairie
Farmer.
In 1937 the United States spent
more than 12 million dollars for im­
ported spices. Chief among the vari­
ous spice imports amounting to
nearly 40 per cent of the total were
various kinds of pepper. Second in
importance was mustard. Cinnamon
and its near relative, cassia, from
Ceylon, China and the Indies; gin­
ger, mostly dried roots from Jam ai­
ca and West Africa; nutmeg and its
wrapper, mace, from the East and
West Indies; cloves from Madagas­
car and British East Africa, all
came in in surprising quantities.
There is a great deal of art in­
volved in the preparation and har­
vesting of these spices. The inner
bark of the cinnamon or cassia
must be cut from two-year-old trees
if the spice is to be of the best qual­
ity. It must be stripped, rolled and
fermented with the most exacting
hand care. Mace, which is the cov­
ering of the nutmeg seed, must be
cut from each nutmeg by hand.
Yellow tumeric, which gives color
to the popular mixture of spices
known as curry, is the ground-up
root stock of a plant closely related
to ginger. Cloves and caper blos­
soms must be gathered before they
burst into bloom, and spice berries
and black peppercorns just before
they are ripe.
Black and white pepper come
from the same peppercorns. If the
entire berry is ground, the pepper
is black; if the black outer coat is
stripped off, the mild white pepper
results. The fiery cayenne is made
by grinding the small pods of a
plant related to the tomato. Paprika
is similar but comes from a plant
with much milder flavor.

heals or his spirituality.
Under­
standing the nothingness of ma­
terial things, he spoke of flesh and
Spirit as the two opposites,— as
error and Truth, not contributing
In any way to each other's happi­
ness and existence” (p. 356).
Theories attempting to account
for the presence of salt in sea water
are rather speculative and governed
largely by the particular hypothesis
advanced for the origin of the globe
itself, notes a writer in the Indian­
apolis News. A few geologists are of
the opinion that most of the salt
went into the primeval ocean prac­
tically at its formation. It is more
commonly assumed by geologists,
however, that such salt is derived
from the decomposition of rocks by
flowing and percolating waters
which finally deposit their burden
in the sea. This is certainly the
source of a large part of the salt
in the ocean.
The sea is constantly receiving
salt-laden water and at the same
time losing water by evaporation.
Since little, of any, of this salt
rises in the vapor, the salinity of
the ocean is gradually, though im­
perceptibly, increasing. It is not
probable that the increase would be
appreciable within any historic pe­
riod. Many inland lakes are salty
for the same reason. The streams
flowing into them pass through soil
and rocks which contain salt.
There is no salt in fresh water
lakes because the streams flowing
into them pass through regions con­
taining little or no salt.
Romans Had Names for Dogs
The Romans had names for dogs,
too, and their names were not so
very different from our names.
Their groups were canes villatici
(house dogs), canes pastorales pe-
curaii (shepherds), canes venatici
(sporting dogs), pugnaces or belli-
cosi (fighting or war dogs), nares
sagaces (dogs which hunt by scent)
and pedipus celeres (swift dogs
which run by sight). Our groups are
sporting dogs, which includes all the
bird dogs; hounds, which includes
hounds which run by scent and those
which run by sight; working dogs,
which includes the shepherds and
some of the ancient war dogs; ter­
riers, a new division since Roman
days; toys, which includes the min­
iatures that were doubtlessly classi­
fied as house dogs in ancient days,
and the non-sporting group, which
includes everything else, some of
which probably were house dogs,
some probably not yet bred and
some, while extant in some form or
other, unknown to the Romans.
‘Coast of Dead Ships'
Navigators and steamships may
have dispelled the idea of a ship
graveyard in the Sargasso sea, but
the Namib desert in southwest Afri­
ca, known to seamen as the “Coast
of Dead Ships,” remains a very real
thing to send shudders down the
spines of modern mariners. Ship­
masters are warned to give the
treacherous shore a wide berth.
Government charts are not depend­
able because the sand dunes are
constantly shifting so that rolling
sands may be piled where naviga­
ble water swelled a short time be­
fore.
Doomsday Book Great Treasure
The Public Record office in Chan­
cery lane. London, ha s a great treas­
ure in the Domesday Book. In real­
ity two volumes, the book records
an ancient survey of the lands of
England, made in 1036 at the com­
mand of William the Conqueror.
Originally, tradition says, the books
were stored in the Domesday chest,
which is likewise preserved in the
office.
