New York U.R Next time
hubby complains about how hard
he works, suggest he take your
Job as homemaker for a while.
Chances are you work harder.
If you're typical of one group
of homemakers, you work a
nine-hour day. six-day week.
The nine-hour day Is the average
computed by the New York
State College of Home Eco
nomics, Cornell University. The
figure was reached after a study
of 250 women living on farms,
doing housework In town, or
keeping house and also holding
effice Jobs In town.
Dr. Elizabeth Wlegand, who
directed, the survey, said most
women report 300 activities on
week day and spend more time
an average of one hour and
28 minutes on food preparation
than any other single job.
Clothes Care
The women, whether farm or
city dwellers, like cooking best
The farm women dislike care of
the house; the city women in
dicate the greatest dislike for
dish-washing. Farm women also
do more cooking, and prepare
more complex meals, than city
women.
Dr. Wiegand said all types of
homemakers average nearly as
many hours for care of clothes
and housekeeping as for cooking.
Less than one hour per day goes
for dishwashing, marketing and
such odd chores as paying bills
or balancing check books.
The city homemaker without
an outside job devotes less time,
an average of just over eight
hours, to her work. The woman
with the second Job averages an
11V4 hour day, with about seven
of those hours devoted to sal
aried employment.
The Cornell study found that
the working woman also gets
less rest and sleep, spends less
time on personal care, and has
fewer community and recrea
tional activities.
One of the problems of the
home laundry is keeping White
nylons white.
Laundry experts recommend
that white nylon clothes be
washed separately from colored
Items and soaked first. Wash
with soap and soft water and
rinse thoroughly- Nylon can be
bleached if it becomes yellowed
from washing in hard water.
Chlorine bleaches will do the
Job, but they weaken the fiber.
'Bleaches made especially for
nylon are available, however.
You can give a whiter look to
yellowed nylons by using bluing
In the final rinse. The bluing
doesn't take out the yellow tinge
just disguises it.

New York U.R) Milk la such
a fundamental of the American
diet that it's hard to believe

are still skeptical about Its bene-
xiia.

bora Gertrude Lutz, the former
wife of a Swiss diplomat, has
been traveling in such places in
Yugoslavia, Poland and Brazil
"In Yugoslavia." ah said.
"many people who received
powdered mux (tnrough a Swiss
relief agency) thought It was
whitewash for their homes."
Now, as chief of the United

Emergency Fund in Brazil, Mrs.
Lutz finds people who aren't
sure milk is safe to drink.

about one-third of her time In

In the two years she's been In
Brazil, Mrs. Lutz has traveled
85,000 miles in the interior.
She's supervised the distribution
of $2,000,000 worth of UNICEF
funds, matched by Brazilian
government funds, as the inter
national organization arrange
ment specifies.
"That," she figured, "means
the feeding of some 100,000 chil
dren and pregnant women a
day."
During a stop-over In New
York after her first trip home to
Switzerland In two years, Mrs.
Lutz talked about her experienc
es in the field. She talked of
driving for hours, by Jeep, on In
credible roads, to villages scat
tered through drought-stricken
areas. She talked of the food

Science at Work
New York (U.R) "At least
in rats," said Dr. John S. Stamm
of the California Institute of
Technology, hoarding is based
on "the orderly function of the
nervous system."
Humans call hoarding "thrift"
or "saving" and consider it
highly desirable except in times
of acute shortages when the
hoarder of scarce commodities
becomes unpopular with non
hoarders. Dr. Stamm did not try to an
swer a prime question of science
which concerns the differences
and similarities between rats
and men. But "at least in rats"
he eliminated thrift by cutting
away a little brain.
By operating on thrifty rats
among children as high as 350
per thousand, as compared with
about 28 in 1,000 in the United
States. -
The attractive 47-year-o 1 d
woman also talked about the ac
complishments of UNICEF in
many villages and how the child
feeding program often develops
into a community center.
Community Gains
As an example, Mrs. Lutz
cited the case of one village of
5,000 population, 300 miles
from the nearest city. The wife
of a merchant in the village, as
soon as she heard of the milk
distribution program, recruited
several other residents to help
her turn an empty hut into a dis
tributing center.
When the villagers got used
to gathering there for their milk
and vitamin quotas, she got the
nearest doctor to institute an in
formation center for mothers
and pregnant women. Villagers,
for the first time, learned what
medicine and nutritional knowl
edge could do for them, and
wanted more. They applied to
the Brazilian government for
help, and got it. Now the vil
lage has a hospital, and the hos
pital also is a center for classes
on health, home management,
home-making and crafts.
"In places such as these," said
Mrs. Lutz, "the milk distribution
program of UNICEF is the dif
ference between life and death.
We're lowering the mortality
rate among infants and children
in Brazil every day we work."

United Press Science Niter
and removing a bit of tissue
here and there on the surface
of the cerebrum, he found the
thrift center was a strip of surf
ace tissue along the median line
of the brain.
When about 13 per cent of this
strip was removed, the thrifty
rats no longer were thrifty. To
check this, he took the same a
mount of tissue from other parts
of the brain surfaces of other
rats. They remained as thrifty
as ever.
"On the basis of these investi
gations It can therefore be con
cluded that hoarding the accu
mulation of useful material, such
as food is indeed regulated by
a specific area of the brain," he
said.
However, there's more to
thrift or hoarding than that, "at
least in rats." Heredity has some
thing to do with it. One strain
of genetically pure rats hoarded
like crazy at every opportunity,
while another strain, no less
pure genetically, hoarded very
little. He now is cross-breeding
these strains to see what he can
see.
Dr. Stamm tested his rats'
thriftiness or lack of it with food
pellets. A runway connected
their cages with stores of pel
lets. The test was based on how
many pellets a given rat would
take from thje store and hide In
the cage during a given period.
Dr. Stamm recalled that other
investigators had shown that,
"at least in rats," temperature
has a great deal to do with
thrift. Cold weather makes rats
more thrifty, hot weather less
so.
Thrift or hoarding is "a re
latively complex type of be
havior, involving both unlearned
responses and learned activity,
because the rat has to perform
an act which conflicts with other
drives, such as avoidance of
strange situations and attempt
ing to escape from a restrictive
environment," he said.
"Hoarding seems to be motiv
ated by some unlearned drive
which will persist for a long
time and under adverse condi
tions after it has once been re
inforced. This drive is, more
over, related to certain biologl
cal factors."

In the deepening twilight six
years ago while attempting par
tially to forget the sadness oc
casioned by the illness of one
very dear to me, I was testing
a 3-inch telescope on the tiny
telescopic star which nestles al
most in the rays of the North
Star.
After I had successfully
glimpsed this little companion
of , Polaris several times in a
sky still far from dark, an air
plane passed overhead, blinking
Its varl-colored lights in meas
ured rhythm. Hurriedly the tel
escope was swung on its mount
ing .and aimed directly at the
plane.
Pinpoints-of Light
Slowly the aviator and I
glided down the north together,
passing en route across numer
ous single little stars and inter
esting open groups. Suddenly we
dashed into a veritable confu
sion of tiny pinpoints of light,
dozens of them in two clusters.
So striking was the sight that
tha swinging telescope was In
stantly stopped and the plane
allowed to proceed alone.
Unknowingly the flyer had
guided the telescope into the
beautiful cluster of Perseus. To
the naked eye that part of the
sky was then only bright, star
leu twilight, but the power of
the glass had reached out into
the infinitudes of space, and
brought the starry tangle' into
human vision.
On a clear, moonless night

At 9 p.m. in lata August It ap
pears about halt way up In tha
northeastern sky and directly
below the W-shaped configura
tion of Cassiopeia. Below it are
the principal stars of Perseus,
arranged something like a bent
bow.
Picture Equlslte
Through instruments of great
er aperture than a 3-inch and in
a dark sky, tha telescopic pic
ture Is exquisite. Tha field Is
alive with glittering little lights,
literally scores of, them.
Soma appear fairly bright;
others, dim; still others, mere
points on the background of
dark blue night. On good twin
kling nights, their rapid scintil
lations remind one of a swarm
of exceedingly busy bees, every
one working hard, energetically
trying to do Its bit in the vast
program of the mighty universe.
The beauty of the picture Is
enhanced by the. "tiniest of the
tiny" which are visible only at
the moments of best seeing.
These appear as though sharp
needles were at intervals prick
ing the dark curtain of night
and letting through tha merest
intimations of the "infinite light
beyond the stars."
Brighten Than Sun
These celestial Jewels are ac
tually huge suns, so far away
that their light requires around
5000 years to reach us. Many are.
100 times brighter than our sun
but are transformed by great
distances Into small stars.
Across the inconceivable
stretches of space, the combined
light of these mighty suns gives
to the unaided eyes only the
delicate nebulous spot, the myth
ical sword hand of Perseus.

Chapter 11
And now that I have come to the year 1851, 1 pause to
take e breath; for our -own Rogue River Valley is ready
to be discovered and settled.
It all began with Mr. James Cluggage and Mr. J. R.
Poole. Travelers had been using the trail south to California-and
the gold fields for several months. However the
settlers had not tarried in the Valley for the Indians had
made it uncomfortable for the wagon trains and the Immi
grants had no desire to be isolated, surrounded by hostile '
savages. However gold is a great courage builder, and
when Cluggage and Poole discovered gold in Jackson
Creek it changed the picture almost Immediately. They
are said to have seen nuggets In the creek as they washed
their faces one morning after camping by the brook all
night. They are said to have done this and said that . . .
but the fact remains that they did stake out 400 feet of
Rich Gulch on Jackson Creek and were mining a pint cup
of gold daily.
This was in December . . . and by February every foot
of the gulch was staked and claimed. Every day saw new
wagons and pack trains crossing the valley until even the
mountains surrounding the claims had been spoken for. It
was in February, too, that a group of men from .Yreka,
knowing that the supplies would soon be exhausted, quick
ly knocked together a trading post. They carried clothing,
boots, picks, shovels, gold pans, and Iron and most Impor
tant . . whiskey and tobacco.
In March Mr. W. W. Fowler decided that the gold be
ing mined in the gulch was a legitimate enterprise, and
possibly permanent, and he built the first log cabin In the
Rogue River Valley; And that was the beginning ... a
slap happy town quickly began to assemble. They worked
hard In the mines all day and they wanted to play hard
during the long spring evenings. And as always there were
those who gravitated to the diggings to supply this need.
Gambling houses, music houses and saloons began to .
crowd each other on either side of the muddy road. Gam
blers arrived to relieve the miners of their dust and nug
gets. "Ladies' arrived to keep them happy so far away
from home. It was a rugged, brawling, gold town. It was
the first town In Southern Oregon.
