Modern Black Market Got
Start During Last War
Though the black market as
America knows it today originated
in Germany during World War I,
in many countries it has flourished
as a wartime disease for centuries.
In the Napoleonic wars it was a
highly developed form of larceny, it
is pointed out.
When Napoleon
sought to bar British goods from the
European continent, his own wife,
Josephine, was one of the best cus
tomers for English textiles, avail
able on the black market. Scotland
has known black rents in its day.
The black market got its name
from a development in Germany in
1917 which, with variations, is being
repeated in the United States in
1943. German farmers, dissatisfied
with price ceilings set over their
livestock, took to slaughtering their
animals on moonless nights, and sell
ing the meat through illegal chan
nels. Hence the terms black slaugh
tering, and black market.
“The black market in meat soon
spread to butter, when supplies im
ported from Holland were sold far
above the authorized price ceiling.
As a result, all butter became known
as ’Dutch butter’ and later as ‘black
butter.’ In time, black markets ran
riot in so many commodities that
outraged German workers demand
ed raises in pay to match the prices
being asked, and freely paid, for
stolen food.”
Protect Sheet« From
Springs With Cover
To protect sheets from snagging
and tearing a mattress cover should
be placed over the bed springs.
Remember too that a bit of adhe
sive tape carefully bound over a
rough place on the spring will also
help to avoid a tear.
Wash rag or chenille rugs just as
you wash blankets; let them drip
dry. When hanging, fold over line
and fasten two clothespins down
each hanging side, pinning double
thicknesses. Shake or brush when
nearly dry to fluff up.
Wash curtains as you would silks.
Put curtains of fine material such
as lace and scrim in a net bag to
wash. Starch keeps them fresh,
crisp, and clean longer. Use a large
kettle so that all curtains for one
room can be starched evenly and
at once. Do not hang curtains on
the line to dry but roll up in a sheet.
Iron when damp dry.
In hanging sheets out to dry, put
large and small hems together;
swing large hem over the line, with
small hem on the outside. Place
clothespins at one-foot intervals.
Straighten selvages. When remov
ing, fold sheet crosswise again, and
it is ready for ironing.
Friendly Indian
The Pilgrims had landed on Ply
mouth Rock on December 21, 1620,
and their first few months in their
new home had brought hardship and
suffering. Many of the new settlers
died, almost all of the rest were ill,
and their supplies ran dangerously
low, writes W. Henry Boiler in
"Pennsylvania Farmer." Some of
the Indians who had formerly lived
in the neighborhood of Plymouth had
died in a horrible epidemic which
swept through the region before the
Pilgrims arrived, and those who re
mained were inclined to be hostile.
But one Indian, named Samoset,
welcomed them with “Hello, Eng
lishmen." Thia Indian was not a na
tive of Massachusetts, but came
from a region 200 miles to the north
in what is now Maine. Samoset had
learned his English words of greet
ing from the crew of an English Ash
ing boat which had visited the coast
of Maine some years before. He
had been living in the Plymouth
neighborhood for almost a year and
knew all of the local chieftains.
Likes U. S. Pumbing
Winston Churchill, more than any
other British statesman, is an en
thusiastic admirer of American
plumbing and heating equipment.
In 1932, while his country house at
Chartwell was being remodeled
Mr. Churchill was in Cincinnati, and
the manager of a new hotel was
showing him the presidential suite.
When they reached the master
bathroom, Mr. Churchill, quite car
ried away by the effect of the col
ored fixtures, darted to the nearest
telephone, called his architect in
London, and asked that all work on
the bathrooms in his country house
be suspended until he could get there
to explain what he had seen in Cin
cinnati. No. 10 Downing street, resi-
dence of tke prim« minister, is heat
ed by hot water which is circulated
through the radiators and piping by
a pump on the same principle a* the
best American-style hot water heat
ing plants.

concrete floora the first three weeks
to prevent anemia and thumps; dis
infect navel stump when pigs ara
born to prevent joint ill; have pigs
immunized against cholera around
weaning time; and provide warm,
