See Me at Farmers National BaRn BLEND FAR FROM COMPLETE Expert Finds Descendants of First American Families Little Affected by the Melting Pot. Through an e::tensive study of mem bers of some of the oldest American families, America as the "melting pot of the nations" proves to be but a con venient expression for writers and ora tors-merely a plcture drawn by those who do not itouble themselves about the precision of their figures of speech, a myth without foundation ot fact. For four years Dr. Ales 1Irdlicka, I curator of the division of ihiySlC aln thropology of the United States Nn tional mualseum, has 1111ad under wiy an iII Vestigation of the blending of the va riois types of hiinanlty in America, Which, tho'igh not yet fully col)IIIleted, ials resulled In the i neviltable coniclu sloni that thIe force of heredity in too strong to be radianly altered In a con tury or two anl1d that we must wavlt centuries longer to tind a type whilh will justify the statement that Anerl ca Is in reaNli ty a "ielting Pot" of the nations. Doctor lirdlicka 1finds that even the first material that went Into the "pot" has not mielted yet. Severl hu1imnred mteibers of the old white Aimerican stock have been Incas ured most carefully and examilned in many ways to find if the people mak Ing up (his stock are tending to be coie alike-If a Iew subtype of th human race Is being formed here in Amertea with intermarriage, environ ment and under the pressure of out ward circuimstances. Doctor Iirdlicka finds definitely that, as yet, such is not the case. Jis investigation shows that the descendants of the Pilgrim fathers, the Virginia cavaliers, the Pennsylva nla Dutch and the I1uguenots, while possibly not as much alike as their an cestors probably were, are still far front a real blend.-l'hiladelpilla ice ord.

"A missionary once visited an Afri can king. The king was well pleased with the young man and ordered that 500 of the most beautiful maidens iII his kingdom be brought before him. "When the maidens-a very fine lot indeed-were gathered together, the king presented them to the missionary. "'These 500 girls,' he said, 'are the flower of my kingdom. Choose a wife from among them.' "The missionary, very much embar rassed, answered : "'Oh, your majesty, if I took one, think how jealous the other 499 would be !' "'Tha'll lit, snid the king, 'is easily rem edied. Take all.'

TIME TO EXERCISE PATIENCE Machinery of Business, at Present a Little Out of Order, Will Soon Be Running Smoothly. Now is the time for all good Amer cans to be patient. It Is true that the times are out of Joint. Nothing is done the way it should be done, a plague of incompetence is upon us, there has been ia general slowing down in till branches of business and industrial life and a general lowering of the average of social eillelency. But it is the war, and we must have patience. Don't flare up and tell us that it takes ten min utes to get your "party" on the tele. phone, and then, like as not, it Isn't your party at all. You ought to be thankful for any party. And the elevatorsI And the clerksI They do not wait on y.ou.. You wait on the clerks, oh, no long. And it Is going to be worse-for a whle. But It is the war, anl It is to be expected and we will have to put up with it. Busi. ness anl industry are in the hands of recruits who have not been to training campl). But they are being trained as fast as possible, nad by and by the re cruits will be velerans, the times will get back in Joint, things will be done the way they should be done, efficiency will agpin reign, iusiness and indu. try will be speeded up and all will be well. In the meantime, while the cap. tains of industry are training the rook. les and doing their best to get the world running smoothly again, it is up to us to be more patient than we ever were before and smile all the while. St. Louis Post-)ispatch. STEP IN FOOD CONSERVATION Minnesota Physician Has Discovered Method of Condensing Buttermilk and Retaining Nutritive Value. In a recent interview with Dr. Wil 1am Grelek of St. Paul, Minn., the fact was broulght out that immense quantities of buttermilk have been wasted. Doctor Greick Is a member of the American ChemIcal soclety and for years has devoted much study to the iilik problen. As a result of his efforts a metoid has been discovered for condensinrig ltternilk into a semi solid srnooth substance of the consist eney of leo cream. All the nutritive value or the but termilk is conserved in this product, and it Is especially suitable for use In bread makIng. Fron eight to ten pounds of this material when added to a barrel of flour produce a loaf ot greater food value. The milk protein helps to make up the deficiency In our present-day flour substitutes. The vitamines of the butterfat help to de fine the structure of the bread, besides producing an agreeable milk flavor; and the sugar of milk, aside from be ing of great food value, when com bined with the dextrin in flour makes a fine brown crust at a comparatively low baking temperature. It saves fuel and prevents unnecessary loss of moisture. Confession of a Teacher of German.
