NEW WAY TO REMOVE SKINS GIVE8 HIGH QUALITY PEANU1 Before peanuts can be used as i food, the unpalatable reddish-browi skin which closely covers the nu must be removed. This has been i problem in the manufacture of peanu products. Dry heat blanching, tin method usually used, results in hlgl weight loss and a put that acquire an off flavor rather quickly. Toi much heat leaves the peanut powder; and dry. The boiling water blanc! halves the nut and gives it a hari texture. Home economists iu the Federal Dc partment of. Agriculture now have de veloped a commercially practical wa to remove the skins with low weigh loss and no splitting, and still hav a nut high in quality. They believ this method will Improve the keepip quality and flavor of peanuts and ir crease their consumption. The shelled puts are dipped in , 1 per cent hot lye (sodium hydroxide solution for about eight seconds, Jus long enough to moisten the skint They are then dipp'ed immediately ir to a cold 1 per cent solution of hydrc chloric acid to reset the dissolve* pigment ip the skins and thus keC] it from staining the nuts. The nuts are then rinsed in col< water and fthe skins easily removet by hand. The nuts are dried at yoon temperature before storage. Peanuts skinned in this way retail their smoothness and gloss and keei much longer thah those bhunched eith er with hot air or hot water. lh< weight loss is low?3 to 6 per cefii as compared with around 18 per cenl for the usual commercial hot-air treat ment. The White House grounds were closed Friday to all except persons having business at the executive mansion. War-whetted public curios | ity about the comings and goings ol officials and a desire to afford added J protection for the President, were understood to be factors In the secret service decision to keep out casual visitors and tourists, who heretofore have been permitted to stroll at will thru the grounds north of the White HOU86. Three school boys found atop a four-story building in Chicago explained to the police they were pigeon hunters. They said they made regular trips downtown, climbed Are escapes to the rooftop* hunting grounds and in three months captured 1,800 birds which they sold at $1 a dozen dressed. They carried the pigeons away alive in burlap bags then offered their customers "fresh goods." Their oaly expenses: carfare and bags <of peanuts 4qr bait.

Kermit Roosevelt Takes English Post Chicago, (Sept. 23.?The Chicago Dally News, in a copyrighted dispatch from London, said today Kermit Roosevelt, sou of Presldtyit4jT4MH>dore Roosevelt and former vide president of the United States Dines, would serve the allies in the war as an official In the Rrltlsh ministry of shipping. 4 Roosevelt Is in London, the dispatch said, and today is expected to have his nationality changed by special orders, making him a llrltlsh citizen. As an American he legally could not accept a position with the Rrltlsh government In wartime. Mrs. Roosevelt tfald at their homo' in New York that whtlo he had not' told her of such a plan, "I'm not at all surprised because I know how strongly ho feels about the importance of the allies winning the war. "As soon as it was declared, he1 made every effort to get abroad im-1 mediately. I think he went in a very1 gallant an<J wonderful spirit, the splr-l It of his father, fighting for what he believes in. "You know he wsb in the British army before, in the world war, and then when the United States went in' he transferred to our army in France.

HOW 80ME OF PIONEER TOWN8 GOT THAT WAY Naming towns Is the least of anyone's worries today, but with early , Americans it was quite a problem.' ' Often they let nature take Its ' course?usually with some novel .results. For example, Dime Box, Tex.: Pio' neers feceived mall from distant (biddings by star route carrier, When a ' settler wanted a package brought from Oiddlngs, he ordered the carrier to make the purchase, deposit It In a centrally-located box, and receive i a dime fee. The "dime box'-* became such a feature it was adopted as the town's official name. The Rev. Lorenzo Dow, a circuit rider, converted so many people' during a revival meeting about 1800 that he sqid "let us remeber the salvation by calling this village Reform." Hence' the name of the town of Reform, Alabama. ? -=-jSloux Indians occupied the Minne-. sota region during the Civil War days' under Chief Istakaba, whose name In English means "the man with droop-( lng eyelids." The white men drove out the Indians but kept the name?j Sleepy Eye. Southerners have invited westerners to Join in a fight for lower freight rates. At a regional meeting in Memphis. Tenn., of southern governors or their representatives, Governor K. D.
