Sv.*cet Corn and Peas Lose
Flavor in Storage.
Many persons can truthfully say
that the best sweet corn they ever ate
was from their own gardens, and that
they have been disappointed in some
corn they bought from the store. Per
haps the corn in the store looked just
as good as that from their own gar
dens, but somehow it did not have the
flavor. We all knew it was a fact,
without knowing why.
A biological chemist working In
Maryland a few years ago found that
when sweet corn was kept in a warm
place, such as most grocery store
counters are in summer, it lost half
of its sugar content in 24 hours. This
sugar turned to starch. According to
a lnw discovered by a Dutch chemist
long ago, these changes from sugar to
starch take place only about half as
fast, if the temperature is lowered by
18 degrees Fahrenheit. Therefore, if
half the sugar is lost in 24 hours at
So degreer- Fahrenheit, only one-fourth
would he lost at 07 degrees Fahren
heit. or only one-eighth at 40 degrees
Fahrenheit.
Peas make a similar change, and
this fnct emphasizes that these two
vegetables should either be harvested
Just before they are to be cooked, or
else be kept on ice until used.
Why Fossil Examination
Has a Practical Value
Traces of the life of the past are
known as fossils, whether they are
tlie actual remains of organisms or
merely indications of their former ex
istence. The greater proportion of
nncient life has left no record, yet
many organisms have been preserved
by burial in sediments of rivers, lakes,
and oceans. Their record reveals the
successions of animals and plants of
the past, the changes they have un
dergone, and their relationship to and
culmination in modern life.
Fossils also are used in dating geo
logic events and in the discovery of
natural resources. For instance, in
drilling for petroleum microscopic fos
sils known ns foraminifera may be
found in the well cuttings. Since cer
tain foraminifera are confined to cer
tain rock layers, they may indicate
to the expert either that the drill
stopped short of the productive layer
and tints should be carried deeper, or
that tlie well actually reached the oil
zone, but found it locally barren.
Why Hafnium Ii Valuable
Hafnium is one of the newly dis
covered elements, element No. 72, dis
covered by Coster and Hevesy. It
takes its nnme from Ilafniae, which
is Latin for Copenhagen, where re
search was carried on which led to the
discovery. It is expected to prove of
great value because of its high melt
ing point and electronic emissivity, for
use in radio tubes, incandescent lamp
filaments and cathode surfaces such
as X-ray tubes and rectiUers. While
there is none in the United States
now, patents requiring its use have
been applied for. The element is a
constituent of zircon ores. It is ex
tremely valuable.
Why Blue Ii Cool Color
All colors are produced by vibra
tions of rays of light. Those vibrating
less than 470,000,000,000 times per sec
ond produce a red sensation and are
described as warm. As the number of
vibrations increases shades of orange,
yellow, green, blue and violet appear.
The slower the rays move the greater
amount of energy is contained by the
light. The more rapid vibrations con
tain less energy and therefore are a
smaller tax upon the eye and produce
colors which are described as cold.
Why Known Chapter House
The prebendaries formerly attached
to each cathedral or collegiate church
were collectively known as the chap
ter. from the Latin "caput,” head or
chief, because they claimed precedence
over the monks, canons and priests.
The place where they assembled for
the exercise of discipline and the man
agement of ecclesiastical affairs gen
erally was known as the chapter
house. The first parliament of Eng
land assembled in the chapter house of
Westminster.
Why “Only Child” Is Lucky
The renutation of the only child la

raving devices were the causes
of the world depression. The
depression of 1893 was world
wide, the same as it is at pres
ent. The London Economist
called attention to it and the
French and other Continental
papers of that time admitted
it. Shortly thereafter the
great discovery of gold in
South Africa and in Alaska
was made and conditions
throughout the world began to
improve.
When the World War broke
out practically every nation
went off the gold standard and
there was the greatest expan
sion cf credit that the world
had ever seen. Simultaneously
with the expansion of credit
throughout the world, by both
belligerents and neutral nat
ions, prices of commodities
rose accoidingly and contin
ued throughout the war up to
1920.
In the year 1920 there was
held at Brussels a conference of ]
international bankers, the
avowed purpose of which was
to get the countries of Europe
to adopt the gold standard,
which meant at that time, cur
tailment cf credits and deflat
ion.
In 1922 another financial
conference was held in Genoa, j
which was attended by the J
leading international bankers j
of Europe and America. At J
this conference, as at the prev
ious conference in Brussels,
ihe object sought by the bank
ers was deflation and conse- j
quently lowering the price lev- [
el of commodities.
It should have been readily j
seen that with the increase of j
population throughout the
world, and with a tremendous
increase in commerce and
debts, the gold of the world
would be insufficient to meet
the demands of international
trade to say nothing of the
needs of the various countries
for internal purposes. The gold

tlie University of Nebraska, is not of

ity than the non-only child. The only j

a better chance to succeed in life. j
Why Some Snake* Are "Boa*”
“Boa” is now applied to a large
group of snakes which kill their prey
by constriction. The name was origi
nally applied to a species of water
snakes in Roman times. Pliny in his
natural history says the word is from
I.atin “bos," cow, referring to the com
mon belief in ancient tUnes that this
species ot' snake was given to sucking
cows.
Why “Monumental City”
Baltimore had monuments in its
square before other cities in the Unit
ed States had, and also had the im
posing monument to Washington.
Therefore it was given the nickname
“Monumental City."
Why Road* Are “Turnpike*”
“Turnpike” is an old name for a
lollbar or tollgate. The original turn
pike roads were merely roads. “Pike”
Is a shortened form of “turnpike."
stocks of the world are author
tatively stated to be $11,000,
300,000 and the world trade is
fated at $400,000,000,000.
Assuming this to be a reason
able basis to use for calculation
the gold stocks are are 2% per
aent. A country on the gold
standard is supposed to have a
minimum of 29 to 34 per cent
af gold back of its currency.
We have that, but what have
we back of our billions of bank
credits that is liquid in times
af emergency?
By reason of this expansion of
aommerce and increase in pop
.llation throughout the world
here was a scramble for gold
by the nations of the world.
The gold dollar-the so-called
bonest dollar of monometallists
af years gone by—is today
worth $1.50 to $2 and the debt
or is called upon to pay the
areditor an unearned incre
ment of 50 to 100 cents upon
every dollar he oaves.
The enactment of the Feder
al reserve act with its flexible
provisions was supposed to pre
vent just such a situation as
aonfronts us today. I have no
doubt it was prompted by the
highest motives; but I am con
vinced it has not worked out as
its authors thought and intend
ed it should.
Many bills have been intro
duced in Congress for inflating
our currency but I want to call
your attention to the fact that
prices in general may advance
as a result of increasing the
volume of money in this count
ry without materially affecting
wheat, cotton, and other prod
ucts that come in direct compe
tition with the products of In
dia, Argentina, Australia, Rus
sia, and other wheat and cotton
producing countries and some
40 other countries that are off
the gold standard for the reas
on that as the price of silver as
a commodity is lowered it takes
less gold to purchase currencies
of those countries to pay for
wheat and cotton. In other
words, assuming for the sake
of argument that the world
price of wheat was 50 cents,
the American farmer would re
ceive 50 cents in his money less
transportation and handling
charges but his competitor in
Argentina would receive 70
cents in his money loss trans
portation charges and his cost
of production is 40 per cent
less than the American farmer
because Argentina’s monay is
depreciated in terms of dollars
or gold 40 per etui;. 1 iie Amer
ican farmer is therefore unable
to compete in the world mark
et and I seriously doubt that
any legislation can be passed
to protect him as long as we
continue our present financial
policy.

Every state in the United
States except New Mexico
maintains under the law public
institutions for the care of the
sick.
