Thirteen years have been spent by Miss Marie Reimer in pursuit of one scientific fact, the mystery of ne influence of sunlight on un saturated compounds. Miss Reimer is head of the department of chemistry at Barnard College. A few years ago she went to Java to study the influence of the tropical srn on certain sensitive, highly re active substances, but it was a dis appointing experience because the strong sunlight decomposed the compounds. Sh*e found the clear air in California with its milder sun a much kinder influence. Miss Reimer sees numerous opportuni ties for women students, particu- ’.arly in the work leading to medi- 'a*UjVt A A HUNORCO "iLnaDlew FIDO ENEMY CAKE EMM V MEM! hoois and «t—I nryd rkUrs still rods CLAUSSEirS BREAD was neoaaM as a vahiabU sourc* of Food Enorvrl Today—tbo fourth aonorathm knows that CLAUSSEirS BREAD is still mado of tho finost tn^rodlonts . . . that it still rigidly conforms to CLAUSSEirS Ugh standards of quality.

Individuals should save twenty per cent of their income, spend seventy per cent and give away ten per cent, according to her plan. Even chil dren can be taught this rule, she says, and the plan, which is being introduced in schools throughout the country, can be applied equally well to any income. Miss Barnard is educational director of the American Association of Economic Education. * * * How to make women more air conscious is a part of Miss Helen Stanbury’s job. She is director of the women’s traffic division of one of the big air lines and the only woman executive in the American air transport industry, at least at the present writing. Innovations come about so quickly that any day another woman, or several women, may share this honor with her. She says her job is to make women un derstand that an air trip is not a major operation but more like a matinee. / * * * A controversy over which of Gov ernor Peter Stuyvesant’s legs was artificial. has been settled by the Park Department and the Munici pal Art Commission of New York in order to let Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney proceed with a statue of the director general of New Am sterdam for the Stuyvesant Statue committee. His right leg was wooden, according to accepted au thority. Mrs. A. Barton Hepburn is chairman of the Stuyvesant Statue Committee and the project is being sponsored by the Nether- land-America Foundation. No one seems to know just why several people inclined to the belief that Stuyvesant’s left leg was the miss ing one. 4-H Club Scholarships To Cle’nison Awarded -XX- 500 Wanted For Panama Service Southern Boys Are Asked To Apply At Nearest Recruiting Station 3831 Major General George Van Horn Moseley, Commanding the Fourth Corps Area, states that he has just received another call from the War Department for 500 more Southern boys for service in the Infantry in Panama.

Especially en couraging is the fact that farmers from localities where no work has been done thus far are coming around. The hard rains that have occurred during the past month have done much damage and have really demonstrated in a very cost ly manner what an improper ter racing system can do to one’s pocket book. Charleston, Sept. 6.—Marshall E. Craven of the Ladson section has given an excellent exhibition of “hedging” in his farming this year, says J. E.. Youngblood, assistant county agent. He planted Irish po tatoes on five-foot rows, but be lieving that the potato situation might become very unsatisfactory, he planted cotton in the potato middies, without fertilizer. A good crop of potatoes was harvested and a good crop' of cotton is now flourishing, apparently well fed by the plant food left from the heavy application of fertilizer un der the potatoes. To make the pic ture complete, the potatoes and cotton were planted in a pecan grove, so that if the cotton is also disappointing, Mr. Craven may fall back on the pecans for his income. _ _ _ V Orangeburg, Sept. 6.—Six grower conducting 14 sweet potato fire- neated hotbed demonstrations pro duced 339,500 plants with good re- suite, says E. C. Abrams, assistant county agent. These growers are of the opinion that these hotbeds properly managed produce good stock plants early. T. L. Gramling’s ccord is outstanding. He produced n two 7’ x 55’ hotbeds 143,000 ■lants valued at $249 for a cost of .27.35, thereby netting $121.65. He so sold over $50.00 worth of vine sittings from the 22,500 plants which he used from the beds.
